unyaffs

please do a search next time (even just google something like, "extract nandroid img files"

http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/downloads/list

made for linux, but if you know a bit of c, you can probably change it to work with windows, maybe I will do that if I have some time this week.

********OR********

http://jiggawatt.org/badc0de/android/unyaffs-x86-win.zip

or http://www.4shared.com/get/fgryPnPx/unyaffs-windows.html

for windows..... instructions below apply for both

if not included in the zips above, cygwin1.dll is included as an attachment of this reply.

open up a command line, in windows vista/7 just press start and then type cmd press enter and change the directory to the folder with the unyaffs and the img in it. in xp press start>run>cmd... then the same

the usage is: unyaffs /path/to/img

example:

(if unyaffs.exe and system.img are both in c:\temp)

"c:\temp> unyaffs system.img"

note: the '/' is the way linux determines the pathname of a file and since it is built using cygwin(a file allowing for windows) it is preferrable that the path to the actual file is in unix POSIX format ie: / instead of \ between folders and files.

*********WARNING************

this will extract to directory that unyaffs binary is in.

Root Explorer

A Brain

Fingers

4.) Restart your phone.

The attached file is to restore your HTC Lockscreen.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] cnflct:
is there a safe way to back these up so that in the event of catastrophic failure - i can make it look stockish for t-mo's eyes?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Master™:
Yeah, you can just move the APK/ODEX files somewhere else..

And this is what it will look like after:

Except it won't be Sprint & you wont have a circle battery! lol

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] xalucardx:
Mine stayed clear, how do I fix it?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] civicvx94:
This is the same result I achieved unfortunately
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Master™:
That is what it looks like on our phones.

If you want to change it, you would have to edit the android.policy.jar in system/framework
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] agentaaron:
Can you do me a favor and test your alarm clock?

Set it for about 5 minutes out and allow the screen to go to sleep...

I did this along time ago with a sense rom on my HD2 and it didnt play nice with the alarm clock...I was quite furious when my alarm went off in the morning and there was no way to turn it off or snooze it. I ended up having to pull the battery...From the forum post at the time, it seemed that a lot of people deleting this file were encountering similar issues.

As an alternative...I am using Widget locker to acheive the stock sliders on the lock screen and it works flawless.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bblanski:
I believe to use the stock lockscreen you need to use a stock clock to use the alarm
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] civicvx94:
Yeah that's a bummer..

I love widgetlocker except for the notification panel, its either there and accessible (which I can't stand) or invisible altogether...why can't it just be there like every other lockscreen?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] foxdl99:
Problem here, getting read only file error when trying to delete the apk. Not seeing any odex of the file either. Have root, S-OFF. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] dustrho:
I'm running Iced Glacier 1.1 on my MT4G and I don't see the HTCLockscreen.odex file in /system/app/. Any idea why that might not be there?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] epsix:
There's no odex file on mytouch4g just delete HTCLockScreen.apk
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] dustrho:
I was able to just delete the file, reboot the phone, but after it came back online it was a transparent lock screen and I still had to swipe (Swiper no swiping, meh) the screen to get the pattern unlock screen. So, I wanted to revert back to what it previously was. I moved the file back into the /system/app/ directory, rebooted the phone, and it's not back to what it was. Tried installing that APK file and it wouldn't install. How do I fully reverse this change? Perform a nandroid restore?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] epsix:
Try clear cache/davlik and reboot
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] dustrho:
That didn't work for me. Trying to perform a nandroid restore to reverse this.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Master™:
Use the file that is in the OP..

You have to flash that with clockwork, it sets the perms right.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] battousai622:
for those having issues deleting the .apks, you have to mount the /system folder first.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] epsix:
Is there anyway to turn off the alarm when turn on? On the original lockscreen you just swipe downward to turn off the alarm
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] chefcesarpr:
Can you tell me where to paste the META-INF folder? I want to restore but can't find a Meta-inf folder in system.

thanks
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] foxdl99:
I can now say definitively that this is the case, you cant deactivate the alarm if you del lockscreen.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] pack:
META-INF folder is pretty much the signature, I didn't really read this so I'm not sure what your doing but the META-INF would be found in the apk not in system itself... so if your trying to go back to the original you would find lockscreen.apk open it like a .zip and take the META-INF folder from there. Hope that helps...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] provenflipper:
Timer also will not silence if the phone goes to sleep when it is set. I think I like the ASOP lockscreen enough to find a different timer to use.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] agentaaron:
To solve the alarm issue...you can also use a different program such as Alarm Clock Plus from the market...for some reason, it only affects the stock alarm app.

Cheers, thanks for checking
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] XfooYen:
sorry wrong forum
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Spudge:
I uninstalled HTC Lockscreen in TitaniumBackup and guess what it worked, so there's another method for people to try

(I couldn't find the .odex file on my phone however, before or after the uninstall)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] billydroid:
Is anyone else's lockscreen show what screen they left up, instaed of the wallpaper?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] G_won:
i think this is the case for all of us here. so far i've installed a lockscreen app from market (simply lockscreen) and while I'm simply looking for a better lockscreen app, it'd be nice if default froyo lockscreen behaved like normal & just display the wallpaper (or perhaps someone is already working on it? :D)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] billydroid:
I see. I tried using lockbot, but it sucks.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Jaskwith:
What is your definition of "worked" though...? Is it a transparent lockscreen that does not silence alarms or timers? If not then I must ask..Why is this post even on here... clearly doesn't work for anyone...at all.../fail.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
Worked PERFECTLY, thanks for in the tip... LOOKS really good now.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] kambiz.aghaiepour:
I must agree with Jaskwith, that doesn't look good at all. The transparency is incongruous with just about any desktop configuration. Seeing your widgets and launcher icons, and any text through the lockscreen looks absolutely HORRIBLE. That being said, someone mentioned its possible to edit a policy jar file on the system somewhere (in an earlier post). Does anyone have any details on what needs to happen there?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] :
bump, please, anyone?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] G_won:
a much needed 2nd bump to this post which have just gained my attention again.

what I wouldn't do to regain STOCK transparent Froyo lockscreen and not require throwing a whole new ROM just to achieve that. So if anyone can add on to kambiz please do so
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] GazaIan:
I apologize for this bump, but this thread isn't too ancient yet so I'll just go ahead and ask...

Anyone know why I can't change the lockscreen back to the original one? I put the files back in and it doesn't work after reboot.

EDIT: All I had to do was change the permissions. iOS teaches you a few things before you make the switch to Android.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] foley471:
^^ Sorry to raise the thread from the dead, but I am having some trouble restoring things back to stock as well.

How, exactly, do I "change the permisions"? I went into Rom Manager and hit "fix permissions" but I still am getting the transparent AOSP lock.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] kaufmanj67:
Had it then flashed new rom yesterday now back to 2 lock screens this morning where is the f'n file for the stupid froyo clear lock screen so I can take it out and shoot it really screwing my whole theme I got going worked great yesterday till my phone went to sleep last night why tmo why?

Has anyone resolved the issue with the transparent lockscreen yet? On a related note, I'd like to have just the pattern lock screen as my lock screen. No slider.

Does anyone know how to pull that off?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] kaufmanj67:

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] playingeetar247:
Anything?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] rich2thad:
Can someone post the zip file of the aosp lockscreen
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] SharksFan1:
So if I do this will I get the error message displayed in the 5th post?

Also how are thing going with the pattern lock screen... that is the one I really want, but anything is better than the stock lock screen.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] SharksFan1:
has anyone tried WidgetLocker? Is this a viable option?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] carrrnuttt:
I don't know if this has been answered elsewhere, but this is the exact thread that's used as a "guide" in the wiki, when it really doesn't lead anywhere.

Anywho, I did the experimenting myself. As far as ease in restoring to stock, instead of deleting the files as originally instructed, all I did was change the names of the files from:

HTCLockscreen.apk

HTCLockscreen.odex

to:

HTCLockscreen.apk.bz2

HTCLockscreen.odex.bz2

^ That is a trick I learned from tweaking my Cliq and removing Motoblur. Restart, and it has the exact same effect as if you deleted the files. To reverse it, simply go through the same process you went through in Root Explorer, and delete the extensions. Restart, and it's as if you never changed anything.

As for the question I quoted, WidgetLocker works just fine over this mod.

To the TS, there's a good sticky in the DHD Android Dev section, the very first thread by Ivo.. u should read that.

LeeDriOD 1.2 custom rom

Apache 1.5ghz OC kernel

Watch your phone fly haha..

You will need the following to flash..

PermRoot

S OFF

Android sdk..adb/fastboot

Clockwork Mod..

Enjoy...All stock DHD are awful compared to a custom one haha...if i had to go back to stock id sell my phone..

Quadrant 3097

Linpack 54.147

Neocore 58.7

You get the picture :)
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
Got the same setup on my DHD and it is quite responsive.

Although stock DHD is pretty much ok i.m.o. ;)

On topic: read the dev forum, a lot of info is there already ;)
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
this is quite OT, but I was wondering how come DHDs overclocked to 1.5Ghz can achieve 3k+ Quadrant scores but the G2 needs to be OCed to 1.8 or 1.9Ghz to achieve similar scores? The extra RAM of the DHD makes so much difference?
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
Well its a different processor, not just lower clocked.

I dont know the specs off the top of my head but i would guess it has smaller caches. That does make a difference. I doubt ram comes into it for most of the benchmarks.
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
thx for the input, I know reading is a good thing... problem is, there is 100 threads.... I just need to know where to start to achieve root, then a suggested person to follow.... one that addresses issues fast, has the latest greatest etc ;)

I will start reading and flashing tonight! thx

[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
thx for that, I had a brutal day at work... and then I had a very, very late "tour" at a correctional facility..... so i did not get to any of this. Hopefully tomorrow.... I absolutely love this phone and case..... my windows 7 phone came today... and wifi compared to wife.... the dhd destroys it.... not to mention... things look normal on the dhd... on the w7p, it looks like crap until you zoom in... I just wanted to try the phone for myself, lol

so for me, it all comes down to 2g vs 3g.... dhd is better has down, for many things and reasons..... but the 2g vs 3g is causing me turmoil... oh well, once I root and see the goodness... maybe it will be a much easier decision
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
brb almost done
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
Not going to lie, I had NO idea what I was doing... but I think I just stumbled through it all.....

are the kernels dangerous.... how can I test/check to see if it is worthwhile.... will they drain the battery even more so? thx
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Depending what kernel and what clock speed you set, you should be able to underclock to around 700 +/- mhz and not have any noticeable slow downs.

Just make sure you set a lower speed when your screen is off and you battery will last upwards of 24 hours.
[Desire HD General] Mr.Kakarot:
thx, I just that 1.51 one for now.... seems to be working well, I put a profile in for screen off.... dropping it to 256-756 or whatever it is! did some light benching, angry birds, no lag or issues so far.... woke up and the phone is still alive, lol

thx

I've been browsing the web and certain regional websites of the hTC...All i find is the USA gets a larger share of the device launches compared to the rest of the World. Why is this partiality taking place? Even the non-residing USA crowd likes to have some great devices like the Droid series, the new WP devices in their hands...This is really disappointing.:mad::mad::mad:

Not to HTC but all the new technology comes first to western countries. Its like when they throw, we catch here. ;)

But if you consider other things, like raw materials and textile. We got the cheapest ones.

As of WWW (inshort), usa have gone upto 4G and satellite internet and we are still struggling to get 3G and even broadband isn't so good enough.

I guess its about investment, western countries invest on technology (Of course they have lots of money to spend on all the things) and we on politics and lil on other things.

However its not one man thing. Its system so lets enjoy with what ever we have and what ever we get. If you need more, we got good planes and cost isn't so high. So why cannot we fly to western countries to bring these things which we like. :D

Hope I haven't said loud,

Best Regards

100% sure. Politics is our technology. If you watch any news channels, you will see nothing then crap politics.

Customs is also getting worst. They are losing our parcels or doesn't give us the parcel easily. Documents, invoice, and etc etc WTF.

Sorry about my harsh words but this what improvements are going on in India. Most of times I wish why gandhi gave us freedom. British have been improved the country instead. :o
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Nicely put ;)
[Off-topic] Shreyas Jani:
It doesn't make sense to fly to the west to buy some new tech. Well, agreed, we don't have much investment in technology... It hurts when people buy slutty Nokia's and other devices when some devices like hTC are more capable!:)

We are a group of illiterates when it comes to choosing technology!
[Off-topic] tjhart85:
It makes sense on paper, but keep in mind, everything has to be translated. Then, everything has to be looked over to make sure it isn't culturally offensive somehow (in another language, shorthand for (their translation of) Applications is 'Porn.'

Not a big deal for them, but if that phone was shipped elsewhere as is, it would be.

We don't want to have some word shortened and accidentally have something offensive to them.

Add to that, the cost of tech support speaking the local language and having a local place for defective merchandise to be RMAd to (since you can't reasonably expect your customers to ship a defective unit internationally).

It might not be cost effective.

Then, there is always issues of local patents. HTC might have deals with companies in the US (or their own patents), but that doesn't mean they do in other countries.

There could be other things like an overly saturated market or local brand name recognition.

Import/Export taxes might make it non-feasible for them to sell in bulk.

TL;DR version of above: HTC really wants your money, the fact that they aren't trying to take it from you means that there must be a reason.
