I am using the Ic3 ROM and when I flash the .zip file and reboot, nothing happens. Help please I would really like to have this patch. :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm trying out Alarm Klock, it's very highly rated and free. I like it's configurable alarm fade volume up time. Sorry, this was in response to an old post in this thread about the inability to use the regular alarm clock with this lock screen.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Rav20:
Ok so i flashed this on Fresh 2.1.1 today and when it loaded its up and down instead of left to right to unlock? any idea why that would happen. i'm thinking it might have to do with the Rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ihtfp69:
Just an FYI, I'm running Evil Eris and simply renamed /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk to /system/app/HtcLockScreen.bak and rebooted. I now have the Nexus One lock screen and the background is not transparent. I'm not sure why my results are different than everyone else here. Is it my ROM?

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
reboot

EDIT: I tested the alarm that comes with Beautiful Widgets and it works with this lock screen.
[Droid Eris Android Development] WalkingTaco:
The patch basically does the same thing, it works with evil eris with a background (that I still cant f*cking change) but not for anything else...no idea why, if you figure it out or the background part lemme know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ihtfp69:
OK, I figured it out. There is some sort of glitch, intentional?, in the Evil Eris ROM that allows the background to show on the lockscreen. The image is coming from the system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi\create_contact.png file. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to change it without pushing a new apk and rebooting each time. I did test it out to confirm this works. Try flashing this file: Background_Mod-signed.zip

Although this is not the best background, it proves my point.

WARNING: Do not flash this if you are not running Evil Eris 2.0.1. I am not responsible for you bricking your phone. Remember, do a nand backup first.

-----------------------------------
[Droid Eris Android Development] dianeofarcadia:
:eek::eek::eek: I know a few people who are gonna be real happy. That worked like a charm. (nm, see it is a different image file) Great Job!

and thank you.;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ihtfp69:
Create your own wallpaper first. Make sure the dimensions are 320x480 for best results. Save it as create_contact.png. Then open my zip file with winrar. Go into the system/framework folder and open framework-res.apk in another winrar instance (right-click and select "View"). Navigate to \res\drawable-mdpi. Drag your create_contact.png file into the folder. In winrar, change the compression to "store" before you commit the change. When you do this, the original winrar instance will notify you there was a change and ask you to update. Say yes to the prompt. Close both windows.

Now, all you have to do is resign the file and you can flash it in recovery. You could create a slew of these with different wallpapers and save them to the root of your sdcard. It would make changing between them easier.

If someone knows an easier way to do this, please share.

[Droid Eris Android Development] WalkingTaco:
you are awesome sir, thanks so much for taking the time to do this
[Droid Eris Android Development] ihtfp69:
I have just discovered Metamorph. This little program allows you to make these changes easily. I have attached a zip file which is a sample theme file for the marbles background above. Download this and install Metamorph from the Market. If you open the theme file with winrar, you can see that all you need with this is just the png file (it is case-sensitive btw) instead of the entire apk. You also can make this change without going into recovery (albeit a reboot is still required).

Make sure you do your backups and have fun!! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] xatch:
this worked great... thanks! what a weird glitch though...
[Droid Eris Android Development] dianeofarcadia:
ihtfp69, could you tell which rom you got a workable file from? I did use it on mine (PlainJane), it works fine, just seeing a few little quirks I want to check the thread it came from.

thanks~:cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] ihtfp69:
I got the apk from EE.

[Droid Eris Android Development] backroaddrifter:
wow I caught myself before I asked a stupid question
[Droid Eris Android Development] kcasner:
I'm also looking for this in a clear lockscreen, and with haptic feedback removed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dommecca:
I'm having the exact same problem, I tried re-flashing the zip, and no luck. I'm running ZenEXP rev7, any ideas?

Also, if there is no fix for this, is there any way to now get rid of this broken lock screen?
[Droid Eris Android Development] kcasner:
Alot of those rom's are hero ported; this is a patch for the eris rom. If in fact those are hero, this won't work right for those.
[Droid Eris Android Development] andybones:
yea you should have done a nand back up before, just wipe, then flash to that
[Droid Eris Android Development] jgroover:
any success getting the bg to show with EE 3.0 and Metamorph?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ihtfp69:
Yes, just posted this thread on how to do it.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Franjaneil:
Okayy..

Okay, i did it, but i would love it so much more if i could change the background. if i can't do that, how do i remove it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Franjaneil:
How exactly do you re-flash it? Really new to this.

thanks in advance.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nujackk:
You will have to re-flash your rom, not this file.

If you obtained root without flashing a rom then you will have to pick one to flash to, or stick with this as it deletes the original htc lock

In the future being as new to this as you are, Always do two things, Do a Nand back-up before you do anything and second is read entire thread and ask questions beforehand.

Will save you a lot of grief and annoyance
[Droid Eris Android Development] Abrasher:
Great

Awesome thanks for throwing this out there
[Droid Eris Android Development] Abrasher:

P/S does this change my launcher?
[Hero CDMA General] MrTrip:
So I went chatting with a support person today, and got this response..

AgentJamie M

I do apologize however the lock code is not provided until device is no longer on a term subscription that is under a current contract.

Has anybody else run into this problem? I'm sure with the Hero not out very long, nobody here has paid the stupid thing off completely, or completed a two year agreement.

Is there any other way to get the MSL? The adb info or whatever command doesn't return the MSL. I'm using DamageControl 2.1
[Hero CDMA General] 702DROID:
call cs and ask for it ...if that operator wont give it to you call back and ask again one of them will give it to you i got mine on first call
[Hero CDMA General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Just a heads up.. You might be able to do this for a short while..

They won't even give MSL's to agent's over the phone anymore, and soon the MSL is going to be gone, most phones are going to OTA activations and phasing out giving programming information...

Shoot me a PM and I can help you out..... ;)
[Hero CDMA General] a99tandem:
PM Me- ill get it to you. (employee)
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
I called and asked for mine just yesterday. I told her that I needed it to change a setting on my phone and she gave it to me right away.

I would take 702DROID's advice and keep trying. You'll get it from one of them.
[Hero CDMA General] MrTrip:
Just called, got the same answer, asked for somebody higher up, got the same exact answer right away before I even asked. Called back, asked for somebody higher up again, got the same answer.

Not my lucky day, I'll call tomorrow I guess.
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
************************************************** ********

This is a modified guide I wrote for the samsung instinct that will walk you through how to get your MSL code and what to do with it.

DISCLAIMER, I am ###NOT### responsible for any damage you do to your phone or your phone network with this information

************************************************** ********

---- How to access programming and service menus---

*NOTE* only do this from an official build from sprint, anything with a modified dialer might not work *NOTE*

*NOTE* only confirmed to work with official 1.5 or roms based off of official 1.5 ie fresh 1.1 *NOTE*

On your phone go to the dialer, then dail in any one of these codes below and after the last # you should get the menu or it will ask for "current code" aka your MSL #

##data# (##3282#)

##debug#(##33284#)

##diag#(##3424#)

##svn#(##786#)

##prl#(##775#)

##prev#(##7738#)

##akey#(##2539#)

##vocoder# (##8626337#)

-------How to get your MSL code---------------

1) download required 3rd party app

download demo version of CDMA WORKSHOP from

http://www.cdma-ware.com

**not required to get MSL** download qpst version 2.7b323 (advanced program for making changes to radio programming)

http://rs714.rapidshare.com/files/297770360/qpst.zip

2) install the HTC HERO DIAG drivers

http://rs79.rapidshare.com/files/293529424/HTC_Hero_DIAG_Drivers.zip

3)connect your phone via usb cable

4)dial ##diag# (##3424#) on your phone for diag menu, when prompted direct windows to diag drivers listed above

5)run CDMA WORKSHOP, settings at main screen on the right are as follows

com settings (AT mode)

---------------

Port (com#) <--- click port and it should say "HTC DIAG COM PORT"

Baud rate (115200) <--- use this setting

com settings (DM mode)

---------------

Baud rate (115200) <--- use this setting

6) you should now be able to hit <connect> if it was successful you'll see in status bar <connected to com#>

7) now click <read> after a moment all your info will come up on left panel, phone # etc

8) click on security tab change the right panel setting and look for the following block

SPC/User Lock

----------------

Defualt (nv_read) <--- use this setting

9)now click read if done sucessfully you'll see the block below this option flash red and give you a number

10)note the 6 digit number under <SPC/USER LOCK> the one that flashed red, ****this is your MSL number***

***** just an additional warning***** you can REALLY and I mean REALLY screw up your phone if you change one of the settings in those menus if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing. This isn't for the faint of heart or the random tinkerer.... just be warned
[Hero CDMA General] MrTrip:
PM it to me. I'm ballsy =P
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:

[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
I would strongly encourage everyone not to **** with **** in there though.... an RUU will not recover if you change the wrong thing.... and will require sprint to get involved (if the tech you are talking to is smart enough to fix it)
[Hero CDMA General] MrTrip:
Problem is, I need the Eris numbers. I had to use ##788+call to get to the menu to edit the SIC.

[Hero CDMA General] centran:
I really don't like asking this because I know someone will end up bricking their phone from this post but I am curious.

what usefulness does this have?
[Hero CDMA General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Or you could have pm'ed me when I asked, as I was looking at the system to get your MSL...

I'm off work now...

PM me your esn and phone number and I will send it to you first thing in the morning at 10cst when I get to work..
[Hero CDMA General] RTessi:
I used the MSL number to change the amount of time it took for my hero to ring when a phone call came in... as some people have reported there is major lag between the time someone heres rings when calling you to when the hero actually rings itself...

i like most others called and told them i needed to change the setting (can't remember what it was) and they gave me both MSLs for my 2 heros...

Unless something changed from a week ago, it should just be a matter of asking the right person, but telling them you have a reason for it, not just asking for the MSL...

here is the link to a post that allowed me to make the change, but more importantly get the info...

[Hero CDMA General] jmanley69:
The easiest way I've found to get the MSL is to do an online ESN swap.

Take your old phone (or any Sprint phone that's not currently activated) - it doesn't even matter if it turns on.

Sign onto your Sprint account and start the process to "Active a new phone".

Enter your other phone's ESN... follow the links....

Wait a few minutes (maybe 10) and go back in and swap back to your Hero.

Through the process, they give you the MSL and the one-time lock code.
[Hero CDMA General] Joecrack305:
any sprint store employee will give it to you if you walk in, no ones ever asked me and ive never been told i cannot give this info.
[Hero CDMA General] ukcatsfan:
how do you shorten the amount of times it rings? id love to do that. also, what other things can you do with the msl#?
[Hero CDMA General] bmxrider4444:
Or if you call in, make some bogus reason like your phone keeps freezing, ask them to walk you through an RTN, they will have you enter ##(yourmsl)#, tell them thanks and that it seems to be working better and your done.

Howto on its way.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] GrdLock:
It's very simply. Here's an example to have a Nexus bootscreen.

Delete the file: /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Make a folder called: /system/media/bootscreen/

Unzip these files into there: http://www.sendspace.com/file/0qwx4v

You can open up the xml file and see how to customize it in there, or just replace the nexus .gif files with your own.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] JTK28:
GrdLock, Thank you very much.

Also want to thank all the devs for all their hard work. I know we all do this during our free time as a hobby. And i'm sure i'm like most when i say my free time is very important to me and a lot of the times a rarity. So i truly appreciate everyone's hard work and time put into this.

Also this might be a stupid question (sorry if it is). In order to delete and create those folders... What program do i need to use? I'm assuming SDK? If so what are the commands?

Thanks for any help, i'm trying to learn as i go with this.

you mean the number of pngs you can use?

Blue Droid Eye

Hey guys, first time poster, been keeping up to date with everything but I happened to be one of the unlucky ones who installed the leak 2.1 before root..."doh!"

Anyway I have this custom boot animation that I found a while back, but every time I try to re-size it and edit the desc.txt and reload it to /data/local/ it shows nothing for a boot image.

Any ideas?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Raziken:
I stand corrected.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] JTK28:
The folder format is different for the Eris.

You need three folders (android, vzw, last) and the desc.txt file all inside the bootanimation.zip.

If you use the default desc.txt from my zip. The order in which the images will show will be android>vzw>last. Make sure the blue eye is in the "vzw" folder.

pushing to /data/local does work without root.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Raziken:
Well then, thats a bad on my part :P
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ZeliardM:
Blue Droid Eye

Hey,

Tried putting the files I have from the blue eye into the vzw folder after resizing them. I left the android folder alone and then push the eye flash in last. Still no boot screen. I also didn't touch your desc.txt used everything basically the same and all the files were 240x360 pixels. Is it something in the way I am making the zip to where it isn't reading it? I attached the one I made...could someone else try it?

just put this in your data local folder with this command.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] t2noob:
make sure you are not compressing the zip otherwise it won't work. I don't use winrar so I don't know exactly how to do it but just look for a store or no compression option.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] JTK28:
As t2noob said...

When you zip it don't compress it. Choose the "store" option.

Here you go. I zipped it for you and tested it. All you have to do is paste it into your tools directory and then "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local"

Enjoy.

Hey Guys!

Well anyways...here is the finished product...hope everyone enjoys it!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dandaman96:
I had similar troubles to above; blank screen on boot. Turned out to be, as mentioned, a function of how it was zipped. On Vista, I had to use 7-Zip to get the file to properly zip as "store only". Other programs would zip the file with a file size nearly identical to the sum of the size of all of the files, giving the impression they were zipped as "store", but would not work correctly on the phone.

I did find it a little confusing that there appears to be (at least) three methods out there to accomplish this. For what it's worth, this is the method I used.

bootanimation.zip:

.....android (contains 01.png - 03.png)

.....last (contains 01.png - 02.png)

.....vzw (contains 00.png - 25.png)

.....desc.txt (see below)

desc.txt:

320 480 15 p 1 150 android p 1 1 vzw p 50000 1 last

adb push bootanimation.zip /sdcard

adb shell

$su

#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip

#mv /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/

#reboot

It also worked fine placing bootanimation.zip in /data/local, but I didn't like the idea of having the file in two places on my phone.

It's the little things that make geeks happy... and I love this little tweak!!!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ZeliardM:
Using WinRAR

Yea, that was my issue.

But it can be done using WinRAR. You have to create the zip first and then add the files using Stored as the Compression ratio. It took a while to find it in WinRAR...I guess it's not used that often. ;)

I hope this isn't too off topic but does does anyone know if removing the bootscreen and/or bootanimation would speed up the boot?

or is there anything else that could be removed to speed it up?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Android22:
I'd doubt it since the bootscreen covers up all the boot processes of Android... removing it will just make a black screen, and it will take just as long to boot up.
