[Droid Incredible Android Development] askwhy:
While the vanilla lock screen works fine after removing those two files, the alarms are still messed up. The problem isn't that the alarm won't sound when set from the HTC clock app anymore (it does). The problem is that you cannot shut it off without also having the HTC Lock Screen, and it will just keep sounding until you reboot.

If you install a vanilla clock, than even with the vanilla lock screen you can have an alarm set that will correctly prompt you to dismiss or snooze when it sounds.

I am actually having some trouble finding the best/correct DeskClock.apk for us, as the first I found didn't even show up in the app drawer (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715208) and the second one I found, which works for alarms, has some messed up characters displaying below the time and the music button will cause a FC (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=697491).

Could anyone who knows which is the most current and functional DeskClock.apk please link to it or perhaps even attach a copy?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
You're telling me when you remove those apk's you get the Vanilla lock screen??

Can you post screenshots.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Imaulle:
I can confirm this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
I can confirm it works.

Slide right to unlock, slide left turns on vibrate or turns sound back on.

i wish we could get the 2.0 lockscreen, that was the best! The dial lockscreen rocked.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Nevermind...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Install this and your alarm issues are SOLVED, I just tested it.

Now time to remove the old one. Be sure you set your alarm with THIS app if you decide to leave the HTC stuff on.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zipzoomeroo:
When I do those commands, it tells me:

rm: can't remove 'HtcLockScreen.apk': No such file or directory

I shut down, booted into recovery, when to "partitions menu," mounted /system, plugged my phone into my computer, launced cmd, cd'd to sdk\tools, adb shell, "daemon started successfully," then I get that error.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
adb shell

then

rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk

rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.odex

:confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zipzoomeroo:
Ahhh I wasn't doing the full path to the files!

OK, it still says it can't find the file. I must be doing something wrong.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jitajt:
try this:

adb shell

cd /system/app

rm HtcLockScreen.apk

rm HtcLockScreen.odex
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zipzoomeroo:
I think that worked. I'm wondering if I may have booted into recovery before plugging my phone in last time. Would that have made a difference?

Edit: It worked!!! Thank you so much. I've wanted the vanilla lock screen for sooo long!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
sorry I put /apps lol not /app
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SifonX:
Also important to note that if you started the adb shell prior to mounting /system you'll need to exit and do an adb remount for adb to be able to read/write.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonb1985:
so what happens when we get a phone call? is the the HTC lockscreen to answer or the vanilla lockscreen to answer?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
how do we get the original stuff back if we decide not to keep this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] J.New:
I just backed up my apks before I deleted the Htc stuff. You can replace the apks and reboot. Htc lockscreen will be back I believe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LeoD:
I did not. rm the files for that very reason. Just renamed them to .bak
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
All the files you remove are in the froyo zip.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aztex00:
I can confirm that removing these two lock screen files does not change the incoming call screen. You still get the HTC lock screen with the familiar message to drag down to answer or up to decline.

Does anyone know how to change this as well?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Mine says Answer or Decline now when I get a call

No longer the slide down to answer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Was your screen ON when you did this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
whats the command line to rename them with .bak? or to move them to somewhere else and then move them back to original if thats what I want?

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
After doing this mine reverts to the stock slide up/down screen when a call comes in. Did you do something extra?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
It shows as Answer or Decline whether screen is on or off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aztex00:
I'd really like to know why his works and mine doesn't!

I've tried restarting a few times...no change. Still get the same HTC stock slider for incoming calls.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
I did this:

Run unrevoked 3.1

When it gets to bootloader, then after it goes to the white HTC screen I unplugged the USB cable before my phone completely boots

This gives me a temp nand unlock till reboot

When phone booted, ran Root Explorer,

Went to /system/app/ then clicked mount R/w

Made a folder called backup_apps

Copied and pasted the files there

Renamed them, but just added .bak to the end of it.

Rebooted.

Also i am using Skyraider 2.0, I think its practically stock 2.2 with minor tweaks, deodexed, and some apps moved to /data/app/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Matt Devo:
I did this, works great. wouldn't mind removing the HTC clock/desk clock apps, but can't seem to find the apks for them
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Why wouldn't you do this from ADB in recovery?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
I removed 'worldclock' or something along those lines.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
There was other things I wanted to do and it is easier to do with the nand unlocked and root explorer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
can someone post the list of commands I would need to type after mounting /system in clockwork to backup whatever i'm about to remove and then how to put them back should I choose to?

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Accord281:
I actually recommed this:

after mounting,

That way, you can do this in reverse if you change your mind.

To undo, just do this (again after mounting):

To anyone curious who doesn't know, after entering "cd /system/app", type "ls" to see a list of all files in there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
Thanks, gonna try this as soon as I get home.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
Just did it and works great. Thanks!

can someone tell me what the advantage of the clock.apk from earlier in the thread? why cant we use the stock one from HTC?

is it just cause we have to unlock the phone to snooze/dismiss the alarm with the HTC one?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
Also, I do still have the default htc slide up/down for calls. Anyone know how to fix?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] infotechsailor:
I think its because they are running skyraider. are you running stock 2.2 leaked gbenj? that may be the difference
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Accord281:
No problem! Yeah the clock thing is due to the lock screen needing to be swiped to shut off the alarm clock. Honestly, I would get the Google clock anyway. I do use mine for an alarm clock and the Google one is just as good (if not better) than the HTC one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
yeah, I am. doesnt matter really, the htc screen is fine for that, but i do like the look of the vanilla lockscreen, plus "menu button to unlock" works on the vanialla screen but HTC took it out of the swipe down screen in 2.2.

The only thing I dont like about the google clock is that I have to launch it from the icon as opposed to tapping on my HTC clock/weather widget on my homescreen.

So when I want to set an alarm before bed I now need to go into the launcher and pick clock from there.

Plus the desk clock from the google clock isnt as functional, cant get the weather to update correctly, and the music button doesnt work. seems like the only answer to that would be to get even more vanilla things going to replace the HTC ones.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MachString:
Here's two zip files that will remove or install the HTC lock screen. Simply use CWM to install zip from SD.

Note: The HtcLockScreen apk and odex came from the leaked 2.2 Rom the install zip may not work on all roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Accord281:
I use Beautiful Widgets so I can set the clock push to open the Google clock. You could even download any alarm clock and set the clock push to open it. Food for thought. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blaine91787:
Or you could try fancy widget that's what I use but I do.t get my fancy little full screen weather animations... darn :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
I don't know what I'm missing here.i was able to get to the vanilla lock but I found it inferior to htc lock screen. The locking and unlocking worked ok, but not in the case of the alarm. I tested the alarm and snooze and I couldn't for the life of it get it to snooze. I tried unlocking it (vanilla) and it wouldn't snooze. Even after I unlocked it, there was nothing available to put thee alarm on snooze....on the contrary the htc lock works beautifully with alarm.when the phone is locked and the alarm goes off, there is a snooze button available without having to unlock...and dismissing the alarm is done simply by swiping the lock bar up (as when you want to dismiss a call)... Not sure what you guys are seeing with the android stock that I am not seeing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pacedrum69:
didnt work on stock rootd rom... made the lockscreen show up vertically... :-( close though
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Twisted politiks:
thats because the stock rom is 2.1 and HTC codded the lock screen differently, including the vanilla one underlying the HTC one for some reason. so you need to find a vanilla 2.1 lock screen zip to install over it. i found one in xda a while ago, but i forgot where it was. im sure with a little bit of digging/google searching you will be able to find it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pacedrum69:
cant seem to find it...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] skaterA223:
cant we just extract the 2.1 lockscreen from a 2.1 sensless rom like in pmf?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nimbus79:
forgot to type #exit ... getting an error message when I try to unmount system "Error unmounting SYSTEM:!" am I boned here?? How do I fix this? Can I re-boot safely or will that brick it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
I got that error...... rebooted and it was fine. Hope the same.goes for you....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nimbus79:
Thanks it rebooted.. I appreciate it... was a little worried lol!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Ya I almost **** a brick lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nimbus79:
tell me about it... then the forums went down for maintenance... it was a definate FML moment!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
I started a thread on that issue but got no responses. I think its in general.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ncsttsccr:
My method...

I used this method on SkyRaider 2.0.1 and it works VERY well.

I believe this will only work for deo-dexed ROMs but am not in any way certain.

First download the GoogleDeskClock.apk provided early on in the thread.

I moved HtcLockScreen.apk to a folder I created called app.disabled where I keep all the apps I don't want, but don't want to delete just in case

On your phone, go into recovery, then mount the system under partitions

On your computer, in the command prompt type:

cd C:\sdk\tools

adb shell

If you haven't created a directory to put unused apps into yet type:

mkdir /system/app.disabled

then in order to to get the vanilla lockscreen, move the Htc Lockscreen to this new directory by typing:

mv /system/app/HtcLockScreen* /system/app.disabled/

then type exit and reboot your phone

Now you will have your vanilla lockscreen. In order to have working alarms, you well need to stop using the htc deskclock alarms by unchecking them to prevent them from going off and start using the google one, but you don't need to remove the desk clock at all.

If you use the Sense clock as I did, a perfect alternative is to use "fancy widget" (if you can get your hands on it) or "beautiful widgets" and set the action for tapping the clock to be the google clock and the action for the weather to be the htc weather (or weather app of your choice) without any problems.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hibby50:
i am on cm6 nightly and my lockscreen never comes up, it automatically just goes to the pattern.... its so annoying
[Droid Incredible Android Development] infotechsailor:
YOU are the MAN machstring...

i D/Ld those two zip files. I went vanilla. havent tested the HTClockscreen, but why would I want to go back to chocolate?

thanks dude -

NOTE: I'm running 2.2 leaked ota FroYo, with the v2 ota radio update obviously.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OneStepAhead:
you managed to get your phone to go straight to the pattern unlock? how? thats what i want!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
That's how it should be, correct?!?! that's what I want!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Matt Devo:
I was using this on the original Froyo leak, and it worked perfectly. Now, with the 8/1 leak, I'm still having the alarm bug. Anyone else experiencing this? I had removed WorldClock as well if it makes a diff

update: replaced the DeskClockGoogle.apk from this thread with the one from the 8/3 Cyanongen nightly, and all is well again
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
So I did this and now I have the vanilla lock screen. Question how do I get the vanilla screen when I get an inbound call? Currently when I get a call it shows the HTC lock screeen. When I do not have a incomming call I have the vanilla lock screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mb02:
my guess is the slide unlock feature for answering or declining calls when phone is asleep is set in services.jar or android.policy.jar. i just looked through the dialer.apk and found nothing in any of the xmls that would have to do with call receiving.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] digitalicecream:
Well I tried the super circle battery mod after this and I got boot loops... It was a nice try though but I'll just go back to standard lock screen.

Keep up the great work though. I'll check back in a month and see where you are on this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Twisted politiks:
that's weird, because i have the super circle battery mod, and am still using the vanilla unlock and i am not having boot loops.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
The two have zero to do with each other. You must have a different problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nethyr:
Has anyone tried this since the official release? Just tried the original instructions (which worked fine on my leaked 2.2) and even though they managed to successfully be renamed to different filenames, they Sense lock screen is still present.

Note to anyone trying:

Had to reboot into recovery, and mount /system via recovery, not adb.

Update: Ignore this. I had absent-mindedly renamed them to HtcLockScreenBAK.apk (which still leaves it as a working .apk). Renaming it to HtcLockScreenBAK.apk2, etc. worked just fine.

Can't restore HTC Lockscreen

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I am having some issues. So I decided that I wanted to go back to the HTC Sense Lockscreen and when I ran the HTCLockscreen.zip it didn't work. So then I went and found the HTClockscreen.apk and HTClockscreen.odex and added them to the system/app in root explorer. I rebooted and still have the Vanilla lockscreen. So then I did a little research and changed the permissions of the odex and apk and rebooted and neither of those worked. So I was wondering if anyone could help me out. It would be greatly appreciated. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
This thread does not apply any longer. If you are using a custom rom, there are no odex files. You must use the apk that came with the rom. Just grab the apk from the rom zip and put it in /system/app. Do not try and install it. Then reboot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RQuick44:
Well the problem with that is that I'm not running a custom rom. I'm still using stock 2.2 (with Sense). Anymore suggestions?
[Vibrant General] TheJoker85:
My vibrant when holding it like normal will switch to zero bars and then switch to edge when i am in a strong 3g area i think this phone has poor 3g recpeition and a problem with it reciveing 3g signals.When it switches to edge it will display a full 3 bars and then 2 and none less than 2 then when on 3g will go from 4 bars when sitting on a table to none when i am holding then to edge.:confused:

[Vibrant General] temperbad:
get a new phone the vibrant is not for you....
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
It's an issue that I am experiencing as well. In my case, simply lifting the phone from the table, with a single finger, will cause the data speeds to slow by half or more. Calls will always drop to EDGE, and sometimes, disconnect entirely.

If I had to guess, it's probably an engineering problem. I will try replacing the phone (again), to see if anything is improved.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Nor is customer service for you.

The phone is not perfect and I seem to have the same 3G issues.
[Vibrant General] bennyha:

^^^...Really? WTF would the phone be, "Not for you". Its got nothing to do with the end users ability to understand how to use their phone.

I don't mean to feed that negative comment. But, seriously....
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Negative? That couldn't be any less negative.... if he experiences signal droppage especially where he lives, I say pick a new device cause the vibrant has this issue, so if it effects him or bothers him, the vibrants not for him... and abbreviating what the **** is pretty negative itself.... man funny.. hell you even called me a ****? So hows that good? Can you say that when people are dicks? Your the ruler on who gets to be rude when and where? Or are the only one that can capl people dicks?

I think I get harped on so much from my screen name, but I wasn't being negative. ..

Simply put, if it bugs you the vibrant is not for you....

Cause this is what it does...

Negative. .. lmfaoooo people say way more negative stuff and get away with it.

And no customer service for me? Huh? Didn't even make sense.

Op, the vibrant is not for you man... they all have this misreading....

And what should have been said to the OP IS, please search the forums before posting this... there's many many threads on it....
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
If this is a such a issue then why does everyone with the problem still have your phone? I mean if my phone dropped to edge just by a finger I'd get a new device.

I just don't get it? If its a issue for some, why do ya guys still have the device. Is the device so nice ya hoping it'll get better? Hoping Samsung has a fix?

They won't, they can display the bars better but that's it, that will do virtually nothing for real world speeds/ reception. It doesn't effect me where I live I can't even get it do drop a bar in some areas if I try, and coming from a n1 it was way worse. .....

Just don't get it, if y'all could answer that would be great, what are you waiting for? Why ya still got the device?
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I still have mine honestly because I can give a rip about 3G. Never really used it nor need it. I mean its a phone for phone calls, grabbing some email and now and then updating my market apps. I think when I used my G1 for the close to two years I used 3G twice. Once to uh and ah at it and the second because I wanted to update my maps app faster.

I have wifi everywhere so sometimes I consider 3G overated at least in my house and work, however with that said. Its rather horrid when it comes to a connection. My G1 would easily connect and stay connected. Vibrant connects, disconnects, connects, disconnects. 1 bar, 3 bars, back to edge, no bars.

All over the place. Its like dating somebody with a split personally disorder. I only tested it because others have complained and wanted to either confirm or deny their comments. I can confirm it.

Lock into 3g speeds.

Hey, I posted this in a different forum. This helps lock into 3g speeds. I kind of found this on my own, so I don't know how accurate my instructions are, verify with others before trying, but it worked for me

Tired of edge speeds, want to lock in 3g? Okay this next one, do at your own risk ask usual, use with caution. I kinda figured this one out on my own, through trial and error, so I’m not sure how stable or accurate, or even how safe it is to do this. I did notice though, if you screw up, you can use the factory reset code above and things should go back to factory defaults.

Okay…so again do at your own risk. Also by locking into 3g speeds, if you ever go into a non 3g area, or if your 3g signal is poor in your area, then your phone calls will drop and data will stop, unless you go back and set the phone to its default automatic gsm/cdma settings.

Dial: *#*#197328640#*#*

Click [1] debug screen

Click [8] phone control

Click [7] network control

Click [2] band selection

This is where you make a change, default setting is [1] automatic, which means it chooses automatically between gsm/cdma (Edge vs 3g). So we are going to change this and set it to wcdma band which is 3g.

Click [2] wcdma band

Click [1] wcdma all []

Now it should display “select wcdma all bands [*]"

Now on the bottom of your phone, click the menu key, it’s the one next to the home key, now click back, menu again one more time, back one more time, this is just to confirm it set to number 2 wcdma band.

Now click menu key one last time, click end.. and you are done. Now to double verify that the phone is locked into 3g, dial in: *#*#4636#*#*

Then click phone information Then scroll down to “set preferred network type” It should now have listed “wcdma only.” PS, if you tried to do a shortcut, and just set wcdma this way first without doing the lock above, it would just go back to gsm/cdma auto once you exit the screen.

Your phone should now be locked into 3g.

Well, at this point, you have decide for yourself. Neither phone is a push over and both are worth their weight. I comes down to your personal preference.
