There was an older thread started by johnnylicious and I am going to be starting a new one that has the new files to skin/theme the lockscreen, phone, htccontacts, and Rosie. for the lockscreen the credits go to goldenarmz.
He created the batch file, I just edited the apk and the png files in there to make it work on the new roms.
BEFORE GOING ANY FARTHER, YOU NEED ADB OR YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DROP INTO RECOVERY CONSOLE OR RUN COMMANDS IN TERMINAL. If you do not have it, stop, go to the stickies, get it going and then come back here. do not junk this up with questions that you can search for.
"what is adb" - part of the SDK. it is a huge help, check out the stickies to get it.
"how do i get adb" - go to the stickies
"can i run this without root" - no
"can i run this on cyanogen" - no, this is for hero roms
"will you make this for non-rooted phones" - no, not possible.
Before doing any modifications to anything on ANY rom do a switchrom save or a nandroid backup.

These files have been tested are on working on the newest jacxhero builds from 1.8 on up so far. they should work on most of the other roms as well since they are all using jacxski newest kernel. enjoy.
credits to go goldenarmz for the lockscreen .bat file. if you seek credits just ask, i will be glad to give credit where necessary
-Clean up Hero-
Before doing any modifications to anything on ANY rom do a switchrom save or a nandroid backup.
Since I started running hero roms, i have come to realize that most of the stuff is junk and is not needed. Thus, I have removed many widgets, and many extra .apks that i do not use such as quickoffice, pdfviewer, java, flash, photo album widget, weather widget, music widget, contacts widget, messages widget, mail widgets. I am going to post the commands you can run in ADB to remove these items and speed up hero a little bit. rather than just do a .bat file, i will post them here so the n00bs can just copy and paste into ADB.
TO COPY AND PASTE INTO ADB, HIGHLIGHT THE LINE OF THE ITEM YOU WANT TO REMOVE, PRESS CTRL+C, GO TO THE CMD WINDOW RUNNING ADB AND CLICK IN THE WINDOW AND NOW PRESS ALT+SPACE ADN NOW "E" "P" (WITHOUT THE QUOTES) AND THE LINE SHOULD PASTE OVER. NOW PRESS ENTER AND IT SHOULD RUN.
COMMANDS TO REMOVE FILES
THESE COMMANDS ARE CASE SENSITIVE
adb remount
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app_s/BizCardReader.apk
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app_s/com.htc.MusicWidget.apk
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app_s/com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app_s/FlashPlayer.apk

When removing widgets and some applications, the screen may flash and do the loading screen, this is normal.
Hope this helps you guys running hero roms get things going a little speedier, once again any questions, just let me know, I am working on removing other things here and there to pick up speed, if I find things that can be removed I will post them here.
here is a video of my g1 running my phone as is with all these edits
Console/terminal?
Is it possible to run commands from recovery/terminal? if so, could you please post them in this thread as well? Looks very nice, and i would love to give this a try!
Im gonna try using terminal when i get a minute. Im sure it should work.

thanks for butting in. im home now. about to to add rosie and lock screen. i love the transparent look.
I actually like the lockscreen from Drizzy's 1.4r1 rom. If you want that, just grab the com.htc.resources.apk from his build, push it to yours and...no more arc .
The Phone.apk does not change the theme of the phone app on the 1.5.1 rom(link in sig).

Thanks for loading those commands on here! Ill add them to the OP and give you the credit! Also the lockscreen did come from goldenarmZ, credit has been given both at the beginning and the end of the OP. I will edit it and make more obvious.
What else would you guys like to see skinned/themed? I am going to work with market and peep. Anything else in particular?

I've used 2.1 for a day, but then flashed back to 1.5.1. 1.5.1 is faster, at least in my experience it has been. But pushing Phone.apk to 1.5.1 ROM doesn't work.
Though pushing com.htc.resources.apk from Drizzy's 1.4r1 to 1.5.1 ROM got rid of the ARC in the lockscreen.

As far as I know it should work. The thing that was keeping these mods from working before was the kernel changes. I am going to keep up with these and when the kernels change i will edit the files accordingly. If you want to be safe, just do this
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will pull your stock lockscreen, now run the .bat file and let your phone reboot. If it reboots and you cant get past the htc screen do this
adb remount
Adb push (the com.htc.resources.apk file you pulled\com.htc.resources /system/sd/app_s/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will get you back to where you were before. Hope this helps, but like i said it should work just fine.

try this file for phone.apk ... i took the Phone.apk directly from that build and edited it. If it works i will do the HtcContacts.apk as well. follow same instructions as in the OP
1.5.1 Phone.apk
before pushing, rename the file to Phone.apk
ok guys so after messing with peep.apk i got it to be white and transparent, but for some reason, as soon as the app actually starts and shows the tweets, it goes back to normal, i know it has something to do with .9.png and thats fine, i can mess with them, its just going to take more time. so in the meantime, what else would you guys like to see?

Just pushed the edits thru on jacxheroskiv2.1, everything but the lockscreen worked perfectly, did everything exactly as mentioned, don't know where I could've went wrong... the arc is still there, and when i personalize my phone it gives me the option of the transparent theme, i chose it and and my lockscreen is now a solid black picture with an arc over it...
pushed everything else first,
pulled my lockscreen to C:\
extracted zip to my sdcard, ran bat file...
files were copied and then i get the above mentioned.
Wassup palos? Nice to see you getting your hero theming on. Awesome work

dont zip the files to the sdcard, just zip them to the directory you downloaded them from, and then run the .bat, i think maybe when you put it on your sd it isnt finding the new files. also, if you push everything and then pull the lockscreen, there arent going to be any new images there because you pulled them off the phone.

Hello,
Now that we have root access it is possible to remove preinstalled apps like :
- Peep
- Stock
- Stock Widget
- Quick Office
- PDF Reader
- etc.
And how it is possible to do this?
Thanks a lot for the futur answers and have a nice day with your rooted HTC Desire!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672352
This ROM has those applications removed. If you want to remove them yourself, you can just try mv'ing the APKs out of the way and see if the phone detects them, but I haven't tried this so advice is issued without warranty. If the apps are in /system you'll need to use the recovery + adb shell mount /system to modify it (try in the OS and the phone will just reboot), if they're not in /system or any other protected dirs, you should just be able to mv them straight.
I haven't rooted my phone yet, but I will later on so this is just ideas at this point.
Thanks for the ROM but I want to customize my phone myself^^
Is there a step by step guide that explain what you say because I'm just starting with android.
Thanks for the answer

+1 on that!
I moved to Desire from a Touch HD, and while I never got into ROM cooking for WinMo, I wouldn't mind dabbling a bit with Android, mostly to remove some of the bloatware that comes with the stock ROM. Trouble is... I have no idea where/how to start Such a 'beginner's guide' would be great to get hold of, if anything exists!
EDIT - found these guides here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 - ADB, Fastboot and Nandroid for Noobs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010 - ADB for dummies
(I would have expected to see these in the Android section, not in a device-specific forum; oh well... )
And if we delete the .apk and .odex in the "system/app" folder from the "rootedupdate.zip" that Paul from MoDaCo has given to us before flashing?
Does the ROM will flash and work correctly but without these annoying apps?

Try and find out
Personally I would just delete (rename) the odex + apks from your current installation by rebooting into recovering and using a variation of these commands:
Code:
adb shell
At your PC to get a root shell. Then
Code:
cd /system/app/
Code:
mv theapp.apk theapp.bye.apk
Code:
ls
You will need to use a variation of the above commands, "ls" is list files in this directory, "cd" is change directory, and "mv" is rename file.
All the .apk are readonly so I can't uninstall or rename them...
Waht can I do?
The phone has to be in recovery mode in order to get write permissions to the /system partition.
Pretty obvious, I know, but I missed this and I kept banging my head against the keyboard when getting 'read-only' errors (with the phone in USB Disk Drive + debugging)
So I turn on my phone with the "Sound Down" button and I go on the Recovery screen (with red triangle).
Then I connect my HTC Desire to my computer.
But after that I can't go to system partition...
What command are you writing in the shell to load the system partition and do some stuff on it?
I'm sorry I'm very good with Windows but I'm a total noob wit Linux
I have tried the adb shell command (don't know if it's useful for me...) and the computer return me :
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
and adb remount return me :
remount failed: Invalid argument
Wait... you tried adb with the phone still showing the red triangle?
First you need to bring it to recovery (the screen with green text).
This is how I do it:
- boot off the .iso provided for rooting
- mount the cdrom as described in the guide, but skip ./step1.sh
- put phone in HBOOT (to get the screen with the red triangle) then connect it to the machine
- run 'sudo ./step2.sh' which will push the files needed for recovery to the device - then you'll get the green screen, just like when you flashed the ROM
- then, on the computer:
'sudo ./adb shell' - brings you to the shell prompt of adb
'mount /system' - mounts the protected partition, but you have write permissions
'cd /system/app/' and then delete whatever I want
when done, 'cd /' and 'umount /system' and 'exit'
Clear the cache so that you won't get dead links in the menus later...
Perfect thanks, I had it in recovery mode, but it couldn't locate the app folder under /system/
but after the mount /system it appeared
Tahnk you a hundred times cezarL.
Now I have cleaned my phone from everything I don't need.
For those who are interested by my work I've done the following commands from the recovery screen :
cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools
adb shell
mount /system
cd /system/app/
rm com.htc.NewsReaderWidget.apk
rm com.htc.NewsReaderWidget.odex

I just installed the Modaco ROM on my Desire (It is awesome BTW) but i don't like the WaveSecure program and i can't seem to be able to find it in /system/app to remove it!
Is there a way to delete this program off the phone!?
I would like to learn how to do this also
Don't think you can unless you use the online kitchen (I don't like it so removed it from mine)
I believe:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk

Doesn't seem to work mate.
Code:
C:\DevTools\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb remount
remount succeeded
C:\DevTools\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
# rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk
rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk
rm: can't remove '/system/app/com.wsandroid.apk': Directory not empty

Running as admin?
Same here. Running as admin - nevertheless "Directory not empty"
Edit: solved. Run SUBFS on phone and mounted /system RW. After that tried again in cmd - voila!

For noobs like me: It's actually SUFBS, not SUBFS. Google for the apk, install the app, in the menu there's an option "mount /system RW". Activate and then run the adb commands above in a cmd window on your PC. Et voila!
(Just realised this is a Desire thread, this worked for me on my Nexus too)
Ok so I:
adb shell
su
cd /system/
cd /app/
rm htcblahblahblah.apk
I get something about it being read only.
This is just an example, I think i actually have full privileges in system/app, but i was messing with something else and i didn't, so how do i change privileges ?

you need to mount /system as read/writeable. before you shell in, just use
adb remount

I get remount failed >.> Help? LOL

Tried chmod?
Example:
Code:
# chmod 0777 This.apk
# rm -f This.apk
EDIT: Also, try sysrw command, if enabled on your ROM or manually remount rw from within adb shell
I rooted my A100 a few weeks ago, but have now decided to sell it and upgrade to newer tablet. I used Zeronull's batch file/method, and DID NOT install any sort of custom recovery. I've searched and searched, and the best advice I could find was to reflash a stock firmware using the Power/VolumeUp recovery method. I tried using "Acer_AV041_A100_0.002.00_WW_GEN1.zip" (renamed to "update.zip" on my microSD) but only quickly get the dead Android with the red triangle (w/exclamation point). I tried 2 different microSD cards (and 2 different downloads) just to make sure that wasn't the issue.
Is there a way (thru ADB or manual steps using root explorer) to "unwind" what Zeronull's batch file does? Worst case, I can do a Factory Reset and just sell it as "rooted", but I'd really prefer to have the thing back to true "stock" for the potential buyer. However, the LAST thing I want to do at this point is to take any unnecessary risks and brick the thing!
FWIW, this recertified A100 shipped with ICS 4.0.3. -- the Build number in my "Settings" screen shows "Acer_AV041_A100_1.015.00_PA_CUS1" and the Image version shows "Acer_AV041_A100_RV02RC01_PA_CUS1".
Thanks in advance!
delroot.sh -- is that my answer?
After looking at the shell scripts in zeronull's package, I see that there is a "delroot.sh" script that gets copied to /data/local/tmp. Do I just need to run this (via ADB or terminal emulator)? Could it be that easy (i.e. to run this, and then do a Factory Reset)?
Here's the script:
toolbox mount -o remount, rw /system/
rm /system/bin/mount
ln -s /system/bin/toolbox /system/bin/mount
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /system/xbin/dexdump /data/local/tmp/dexdump
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /system/xbin/tcpdump /data/local/tmp/tcpdump
rm /system/xbin/*
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/dexdump /system/xbin/dexdump
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/tcpdump /system/xbin/tcpdump
rm /data/local/tmp/tcpdump /data/local/tmp/dexdump
rm -r /system/sbin/
rm /system/bin/su
Sure looks like this would work (I'd also get rid of /data/local/tmp, since it was created in the initial runit-win.bat process)! Again, thanks for any advice...

Thatll do it for sure though deleting that dir by hand after losing root will likely fail. Perhaps add the in to the script right after dexdump deletion. It won't really matter though.
