[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
99.9% sure your senseable lock would be in-tact, just transparent. since your senseable lock's graphics are stored in com.htc.resources.apk and this is only a change to your HtcLockScreen.apk :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Arcalyth:
Running Ivan's 0.8T2, works like a charm. Thanks!

For all of those confused on how to install this, you simply unzip HtcLockscreen.zip on your computer, follow the instructions in the first post, then you:

adb remount
adb push HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app
adb reboot

and when your phone boots back up, you'll be looking at a shiny new transparent lockscreen.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
NOTE!: the code is case sensitive, make sure you capitalize as follows:

adb remount
adb push HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app
adb reboot
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] silverramsrt:
When I try this I always get the nexus 1 lock screen. I'm running Ivan's latest build.

I will try again on a fresh flash since I have been messing with stuff.;)

Edit: OK, fresh flash without wiping allowed me to change to the Transparent Lock Screen. Thanks gohamstergo.

btw, I have no idea what I changed to not allow this mod.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
@silver: not sure but youre not the only one with the issue. no idea what causes it. seems rare tho
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] silverramsrt:
AWW, I thought I was special.:D

But, If anyone ever needs any "rare issues or bugs" found....:p
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] TheAtheistReverend:
Thanks for posting this!

Would anyone consider making a "lockscreen" that is nothing BUT a photo/walpaper?

No clock, no arc, nothing?

Maybe just a "walpaper" or photo?

Or even better- Truly Transparent!

That would be cool!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
If read the "advanced" directions in the OP, it basically explains how to do this, even though he was trying to tell you how to AVOID doing that. but I agree, I'd like it too. It would almost be like a security feature cuz only you would know where to swipe to unlock :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
@TheHethenReverend guy

I'm currently working on getting a version of the lock apk without the clock, so to have it TRULY transparent, you'd install that version of the apk (when available) and then perform the "experienced users only" steps so remove the Arc.

As Lexus said, I was trying to avoid people having a totally clear lock, but IF thats what you want..then power to ya XD
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] TheAtheistReverend:
Thank you, I will try it soon.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Renocat:
Gohamstergo,

what's the status of the lockscreen without the clock?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
@Renocat see below
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
Clock-less version now available. See the OP for details!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] meezy009:
ok so i did all the steps as explaind my phone reboots and den it jus stops at HTC quietly doesint load up brilliant at all...could i b doin something wrong or does this not work with Legend 2.1 roms?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] meezy009:
this is some B.S after hours of trying i finaly get it and its the HERO lockscreen with the blurry colors wat a wast of time. It's not even transparent.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
if you arent getting what is in the screenshot, then its either not compatible, or youre doing something wrong.

post a screenshot of what you got. i have no idea what you mean by "blurry colors"
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] meezy009:
Ok u kno da wallpaper dat comes on most hero roms? Thats the lockscreen wallpaper that comes up

Im i suppost to push the htclockscreen.apk? Or da jnp files too?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
no i dont know what comes with hero ROMs. i havent used any. thats why i want a screenshot

there are no "jnp" files. please check your spelling
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] meezy009:
i ment to say png...http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2r7ah5d&s=3

thats wat comes up..
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
looks like you skipped this whole section of the instructions, so the default wallpapers are loading:

**Before** pushing the apk into that folder, you'll need to FIRST perform the following steps to remove the stock lock wallpapers from loading, as well as any cached custom wallpaper you have applied. You can perform these via adb as listed, or if you have Root Explorer (on the marketplace), you can navigate to the folders listed and delete the items that way.

adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/misc/lockscreen
rm *

cd /system/customize/resource
rm htc_wallpaper*

exit

Note: You may or may not have anything to delete in /system/customize/resource, so if you get an error message while using adb, don't worry.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] meezy009:
i can read, i did that....so after extensive retrys freezing my fone restoring it and retring about 5 times im and not so happy to say that mayb it jus doesint work for the Rom i am using. =/

still dont know what you mean. the regular htc lockscreen is on there by default, but the clear one isnt. so of course youll need to download what i have provided.

If you have Root Explorer then just ignore adb. Delete the files I listed in the code (all images starting with 'htc_wallpaper' in system/customize/resource

and anything in the data/misc/lockscreen folder), then copy my HtcLockScreen.apk over the current one (system/app), then reboot.

I must have did something wrong. I d/l' ed the htc lockscreen deleted all the files, followed the directions, but got the stock android lock screen after restart, and not what was illustrated in the screen shot in your post.

Sent from my Eris using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
if you still see a custom wallpaper you set, then you didnt delete EVERYTHING in data/misc/lockscreen. if you see a built-in htc lock, then you didnt delete all of the htc_wallpaper images

OR

the original HtcLockScreen didnt get overwritten properly. this time, DELETE the HtcLockScreen.apk, then paste the new one there and restart

OR

You're running a hero/legend ROM which isn't compatible as stated in the OP

adb mount problems

Okay..So I'm running the leakbasev3 or v4 rom... I don't know if I can't push through adb because its base or not...but every time I try to "adb remount"

I get " remount failed: Operation not permitted"

everytime I try to push/delete, I get..."failed to copy/delete blah blah... Read-Only file system"

when I try the "shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"...I get "mount: Operation not permitted"

Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here...

I also deleted the drivers for android-sdk and redownloaded the...still same problems...phone is mounted and in debugging mode....while I'm doing this...

:(
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ECLIPS3:
adb remount

that should work.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] vash8806:
I try that..and it says "adb: permission denied"
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
ya thats one thing the base rom is lacking. i miss typed the second command. its actually:

"adb shell", then, "su", then "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system", then "exit" (maybe exit twice, to get back to C:\etc), then continue with push

Root Explorer should work though so not sure why you went back to adb
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] vash8806:
Are all of these separate commands?

adb shell

su

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

edit

once I do "su" then enter...

every command after is repeated on the screen...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] vash8806:
k..so in android-sdk-windows\tools\...

i go to "adb shell"

in adb shell i go to "su"

in # i go to "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"

Somewhere between these...I have my Superuser open on my phone and an option pops up..i select always allow..(i've mounted my card already...)

when I hit that last command...I get the response:

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

so in # i hit "cd /data/misc/lockscreen"

it responds with "cd /data/misc/lockscreen"

once again in # I hit "rm *"

it responds "rm *"

"rm failed for *, No such file or directory"

then in # I hit "cd /system/customize/resource"

it returns exact quotes...

again in # I hit "rm htc_wallpaper*"

it responds with

"rm htc_wallpaper*"

in # I hit exit...

now in super user...i hit exit

then in "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\" I type "adb push HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app"

response "failed to copy 'HtcLockScreen.apk' to '/system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk' : Permission denied"

so then I do adb shell...and try pushing file through there...I get "adb: permission denied"

then I try adb remount..."adb: permission denied"

fml....
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
dont mount your card, leave it in charge only
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] vash8806:
nope...still showing up as read-oly file system... cant remove anything..can't push anything..
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
well then just wait until Ivans 1.0 comes out so all the commands work properly, or use Root Explorer. and before you ask how to use it, download it and try it

sorry man by what u posted it seems like ur running a leaked rom v3 or v4, this is only for root :(

Does this work with the Evil Eris 2.0.1 rom?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
should work with any eris ROM. do a backup and give it a try, thats the best way to find out ;)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Magnum72:
Everything seemed to go good through adb, but getting what seems to be the nexus style lockscreen instead. will try to rm the lockscreen this time and re-push from the apk again.

Edit: re-pushed the apk from the zip and still got the other lockscreen... then re-pushed my original apk that i pulled from the phone before doing this and its back to normal. Don't know what the problem is, don't seem to like the apk from the zip.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] zach.xtr:
Unfortunately I also get the standard Android Lockscreen when I do this... i have tried both the

No errors on the procedure and I am running Ivans Eris_Official_1.0_OC.

Thoughts?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
no idea really. it seems to not work for most people even though im also on ivans 1.0 and it works fine for me. never had a single problem. all i can recommend is to follow the directions to the letter and everything is case sensitive.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] zach.xtr:
Through a bit of trial and error, I think I figured this out...

I will explain based on my limited knowledge: Basically the provided HtcLockScreen.apk will only work on ROMs that have and are configured to use the HtcLockScreen.odex. This explains why the Sprint based ROMs do not work as they do not have the correlating .odex files included (at least I have not seen one yet). Conversely most Eris based rooms still have the .odex files in the ROM.

HOWEVER, if you have ever flashed any of the live wallpaper, nexusone, htc lockscreen removal, etc patches then they most likely deleted the HtcLockScreen.odex file, or perhapse you mannually deleted it as I did.

SO - make sure that you have /system/app/HtcLockScreen.odex on your phone and then this should work great! P.S. I have not tried on a Sprint based ROM but would be curious if it would work...

***EDIT: COMPLETE NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE TRYING***

Only add the .odex file back to ROMs where you have previousely removed it... Adding the .odex file to a ROM that was not built with one will cause issues. Thanks for testing Magnum72!

Additionally I have attached a zipped copy of the HtcLockScreen.odex file that you can download, extract, and put in the /tools dir of your sdk and then run the following from cmd.

adb remount
adb push HtcLockScreen.odex /system/app
adb reboot

Hope this helps.:D
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
OP updated with this info, thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Magnum72:
tried adding the odex (and rest of the directions) with evil eris that just made my bootscreen keep locking up and restarting. good thing for nandroid backups lol.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
sorry to hear that, i guess if the odex was removed, then youre unable to use this mod as it seems it cant just be readded. try messaging framework (EE dev) and asking about this.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] zach.xtr:
I just checked the Evil Eris 2.0.1 ROM and it does not appear to have been built with .odex... So as already stated check with Framework. gohamstergo mentioned in the first post of the thread that this was built of a Sprint ROM, may be worth trying that one...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
partially correct. the original was made for the hero but i gave the dev the eris lock and he modified that. so the apk youre getting is made for the eris ;)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] y3ahright:
Not sure if anyone's seen this but I think its really cool. Using Zen rv 5 and tried to use the transparent lockscreen (reading it wouldn't work on the first page) but I think it came out pretty nice its like the nexus lock screen with a little twist lol.

you slide the unlock vertically up and the sound on/off vertically down.

(Not allowed to post pictures or URLS yet)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
thats quite odd looking..but if you like it thats all that matters :P definitely not compatible with that sprint rom XD
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] y3ahright:
Unfortunately it shows the time on the lock screen as

1:3

Monday..ect for numbers 3 4 5 so I had to restore it back. Looked cool though and I guess it was one of a kind haha
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] zach.xtr:
Wow sorry for my unclear post and thanks for clearification gohamstergo...:o

Understanding that the .apk download available in this thread is the Eris based .apk, I was trying to say that for the folks with ROMs that where built without the .odex files, perhaps they should track down and try the .apk that WAS built for the Sprint/Hero ROMs in place of this one. Since some of the ROMs coming out seem to have parts pulled from both code bases it would be interesting to try...

Just a thought...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] bendbowden:

What if someone takes a de-odex'd or Sprint HTC Lockscreen, and modifies the .apk for a clear background?

Wouldn't that work for things like EvilEris?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] andybones:
I want to say thank you for this! awesome !

works great, when i installed clockless.. theres and android guy.. how do i get rid of him????
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] thenestor:
Thank you! This mod is awesome!

I wanted a semi-transparent HTC lockscreen with the arc/clock, and I was able to do that just by saving my semi-transparent PNG as /data/misc/lockscreen/lock_screen_port (no extension on the file) after doing this mod.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] pkopalek:
For those using

DE-ODEX'D ROMS like EvilEris and the De-Odex'd Ivan's Eris_Official 1.1 / De-Odex'd Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0

you will need to have a classes.dex in the .APK file.

I took and modified the file of the wonderful creator of this clear background lockscreen, and put a classes.dex.

NOTE:

ONLY USE THIS IF YOU HAVE A DE-ODEX'D ROM!

For those who the lockscreen at the original post DOESN'T work (attn: evil eris users) Try this one:

(i uploaded it here, as well as in the thread itself)

http://depositfiles.com/files/57zwp8h53

Obviously, rename this file to HtcLockScreen.apk as you push it.

Same instructions as at the top, just use THIS file instead of the original one. Posted on depositfiles, and uploaded here.

TIP: anyone who doesnt want to delete their wallpapers, if you are using root explorer then simply move the files to the sd card as a backup. You can also do the same with the original htclockscreen file.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Jasonson:
i did this it worked but i have an ugly lock slide thats white and says htc across the top. tried the colorless clock zip and it threw me a vanilla lockscreen

Anybody got an idea? EDIT- It looks almost like the notification divider only really really enlarged...Trying to replace it with blank and see if it fixes it.

Have replaced the transparent lockscreen with the clockless version, however it is still showing the clock even after reboot. I have dleted the original apk before copying and pasting into the system/apps folder. Any ideas?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jcitron:
Well I've tried this several times now. I'm using the Root Explorer method, deleted all files in the data/misc/lockscreen folder, deleted all htc lockscreen images in the system/customize/resource folder, and deleted the HtcLockScreen.apk from the system/app folder.

I tried the standard file, the clockless file, and file pkopalek posted. No matter what I try I get the same lock screen seen below, the big clock/date in the center as well as the "verizon wireless" in the top right are part of the lock screen. I even tried rebooting without the HtcLockScreen file at all and I get the same result.

I notice that there is no /system/app/HtcLockScreen.odex file when looking with root explorer, is it safe to assume the ROM I'm running is a non-odexed ROM?

I'm running PlaneJaneT2 V2.0, any ideas?

Many thanks in advance for putting up with a newb!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] thenestor:
Since you're using a deodexed rom, you have to use the version pkopalek posted in this thread on July 7. Go back two or three pages to find it. Can't link cuz I'm on my phone.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jcitron:
I did that, same result. I did try the Hero version mentioned in this thread and it worked except that it had a large ugly red box instead of the nice arc, but it was transparent.

It seems any time I manually add the HtcScreenLock.apk file, regardless of where I get it from, it defaults to the screen I posted. If I flash the zip files from the Hero version it works, but is ugly as sin.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Abrasher:

I wish there were a half transparent version.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] thenestor:
Mine is half-transparent. Just use the transparent one, and then use a half-transparent PNG as your wallpaper. I've attached a screenshot of mine, as well as a black PNG that's been set to 50% transparent (so it appears gray on the white background of your browser).
