Do someone knows how can I replace the default phone-locked HTC answer screen (slide down to answer) to another one I like.
What is the name of the .apk?
Thanks for any help!!
So you want the Android default answer screen? Rather than the HTC Sense answer screen. I think you may need to get root access and a default 2.2 rom

I think it's part of the dialer.apk but replacing it might cause some issues.
Thanks Steve,
I'll give it a try!

I just switched back to sense using the Desire HD rom. but I'm remembering the biggest thing i hate about sense: swiping up and down on incoming calls. Obviously I keep my phone in my pocket and locked most of the time, so getting a call and pulling my phone from my pocket answers or declines the call for me depending on which way its sitting in there. why htc decided to use this, I dont know but it sucks.
My question would be: has someone figured out how to change this to the standard form of answering/rejecting calls? Even the galaxy s phones uses vanilla style but we get the crap up and down bar.

Use a root explorer program and delete the htc lockscreen, under it is the vanilla one, the one where you slide left and right

I tried that on all the standard sense roms and that only changed the lockscreen for me, but not the incoming calls. also, on the Desire HD rom, I can't even delete the apk because it causes bootloops for some reason.

Deleting the lockscreen apk has no bearing on the phone apk.
To answer the OP, there is currently no way to disable the slide to answer function that I am aware of as this question has come up repeatedly in the dev forum. Deleting the phone apk causes some fairly significant issues, as you can imagine.

yea I thought so. I figured it would have to do with phone apk calling up the function from android.policy or services.jar wasn't sure if anyone knew how to change it.

This is the reason I will never consider switching back to any Sense based rom. I have accidently answered/declined a call more times than I can remember. Thank god the rebooting issue was figured out for the AOSP roms.

Search for No Lock or Easy Answer Button in the market. Either app should provide a suitable workaround.

I don't understand the workaround with No Lock. This application in not to unlock the device with a button?
I've installed Easy Answer Button. It doesn't work perfectly, and I have the same problem: the case answer or cancel randomly a incoming call
Thanks!
Same for me i need to change this method of answer call , i've tested Easy answer button , tedd droid tools but it's really what i want.
I want to slide on the left or on the right in order to answer or reject a call.
Someone can help me please ?
Edit: I've found what i want with cyanogen mod , it's perfect now .
That was my big problem with slide way answering a call too, but it's not anymore due to SimplyLock app that I found in market.
Hope it will help all guys who ran into the same problem.
I searched a few hours for a solution of this problem and finally found one i will try now.
The App I installed is called HD Caller ID and is free.
So for you, looking for a solution try this App. Maybe it´s good for your belongings.

Is it at all possible to mod rosie.apk to display in landscape when rotated? I know now the Desire Z has this function. I'm just hoping we can get it to work on our Desires with HD roms (or even without?).
So far i hear that if you modify rosie.apk then you need to resign it. But what if you modify it, then add the modified files from modded rosie.apk to a clean rosie.apk. Would that still break the signature?
Also mentioned is that it will only work if it detects that the hardware keyboard has been slid out. I'm sure there must be a way to "lie" to the launcher when it hits landscape mode to think the keyboard is always out?
I'm looking for thoughts on this from anyone but especially people who know what they are doing. I have decompiled rosie.apk and haven't a clue where to start. Just having a look at all the .smali files has headfucked me.
Thanks.
Some interesting info on the subject.

I was thinking exactly the same.
I don't think you can replace modded files in rose.apk, because they would be signed different and cause rosie to crash...
The "lie" option is a possibility I think.. But we would have to make a widget to switch.... or a set vice which checks the phone's orientation and changes the value when the phone is turned.

I was using Apk manager yesterday and I saw an option for modding system .apk.s and keeping them signed if that helps with the signing.

I don't think the problem is just signing rosie.apk i think if you re-sign rosie you need to resign all of its widgets and other .apks it uses.
I think the best option would maybe "tricking" the phone into believing the Android keyboard (hardware) is open. We would probably need a Desire Z port in that case too doh!

Just pushed Z's Rosie.apk in my HD rom, and as expected, the result was a bootloop
This means that even if the Rosie.apk will be successfully modified, it will only run on a Desire Z Rom, unless someone manages to mix those two Rosie.apk's (the one from the HD rom and from the Z rom) up and makes them work.
Pardon me if I am wrong, but ephumuris I think this Landscape Rosie is associated with the sliding keypad of Desire Z. Isn't so ? Well if we start modding it, wouldn't it happend that we got remove and add many associations of Rosie specially related to Hardware and furthermore we will have to associate the Hardaware sliding rotation to the Accelometer Sensor. I think it's quite painful task.

No, apparently if someone works out a way to trick the desire into thinking it has a slide out keyboard that has been activated then it could work. The other problem is that a lot of other.apks have to modified for the landscape feature, its a complicated task.

Mods, if this topic should be in Q&A, please move it there...
I just watched an engadget video of the sony ericsson play (ps phone) and one thing that popped out was the phone tabs were at the bottom of the screen. That is a very interesting look and I would like to know how it was done. Also, if this could be implemented in a theme or a standalone phone/contact.apk, it would be very cool.
I don't know what xml (if any) would need to be edited to get this look. If someone would be kind enough to figure it out and toss it over, many would enjoy. One for froyo and one for gingerbread would be great.
I'll update this post with an update.zip for all to enjoy and give props to the problem solver...
Thank you in advance!

i think u would do better by posting a link to the video so that people can see what you are talking about. cuz i personally have no clue what u are talking about. are u talking about the tabs within the dialer for like call history and contacts? i think those are the tabs. i have a sense rom so i wouldnt know about stock dialer
Is it possible to have the stock 2.3 lock screen minus the text? I would love to have just the slide lock/silence and my background, zip download would be fine, but I would love to learn how to do it myself.
Anyone? I would expect at least at a sarcastic comment but nothing at all?
The only way I know to modify the lock screen is with a application, such as WidgetLocker...They have a default option for a Sense lockscreen, but I've never tried it (I'm an AOSP man personally)
The uot kitchen might be able to do this. I personally know nothing about it, but I've heard people talk about the wonders it works. Google is your friend in this case, I think.

yes you can hide virtually anything
just takes some tinkering
This thread interests me also... I'm using Virtuous with the 3.0 lockscreen. Haven't figured out how to remove the "31000" on top of the time... I've tried modifing it with root explorer and going into spn-conf.xml file but haven't been able to edit it. Also tried Carrier Name all it changes the file but not the screen.... Any sugg??

This seems to be on the right track for what I'm looking for... Im going to mess around with it. Thanks!
I know CCName can change your carrier text and, therefore, you can make it blank. I don't know how to change the other ones though. Does Sense use a Clocktopia font? If so, you could probably make a "blank" font.
I have flashed CM7 and I love the software, but unfortunetly the keyboard in CM7 I don't like, it is much smaller than the original HTC one so I was wondering if it is possible to get the HTC Keyboard back from Froyo while keeping CM7?
If I can't have the same keyboard how about one with similar sized keys?
Hi and yes you can have HTC keyboard and there are lots of alternatives too. Search market and also someone posted HTC keyboard on here but can't remember where.

the clicker apk is for calibrating the keyboard but dont need to install it if you not bothered about the calibration.

Thank you very much!
EDIT: I installed it but it just force closes.
EDIT2: Nevermind, solved it by restarting the phone.
