so Like an impatient idiot I decided to delete the htclockscreen.apk and htclockscreen.odex to change it the stock android lockscreen. So now the Alarm wont shut off. What Do i Do?
I'm on STOCK 2.2 but rooted
Just turn the phone off and turn it back on. You need to install the vanilla desk clock apk and use that one for your alarms from now on.

download alarm klcok from the market.. it works for me.
I just want everything to go back to normal. I rather use the stock htc alarm clock

<shrug> So put the two files back. If you didn't save them, copies of the stock ROM are endlessly available on XDA, and you can get whatever files you are missing from one of them.
I did the same thing... I did a search for a stock 2.2 rom with sense but I am not sure how to extract the files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I figured out how to extract the adk file but I still need the odex.... any suggestions on that?!
Thanks again everyone!!!
I ended up re-rooting and got everything back to normal... lesson lerned!
Just reflash the sense rom you used over again. That will reset everything back to "normal."

I have no expierience with .jar files I wish I could help to know if those would would, I would say make a nand back up and try it out, the worse that will happen will be a need to pull the batt and do the nand... not too mention id really like to know if that rotary lockscreen would work lol
i have a nandroid backup i made right before i did this. i always make one before i do something through adb (im a noobie). and im running the stock 2.1 update1 rom with root and S-OFF.

ahh 2.1 thats why. 2.2 if you remove the lockscreen apk you just get a straight up vanilla lockscreen, no mod required. on 2.1 youre better off getting widgetlocker or something off the sort as a lockscreen replacement.
i have seen mentions of widgetlocker, i will get this app soon. thanks for the help
Wait. There is a file you need and then it'll work on 2.1 - I'll post as soon as I'm back at my computer.
Ok found it! Download this file and use recovery mode to apply it.

Although the above post will work to fix the lock screen, seeing as it's 2.1, the lock screen will have the option to unlock and science the phone, but not vibrate, as that is on the 2.2 only. Just an fyi

How do I remove the lockscreen apk? I am rooted using 2.5.2 skyraider. Can I delete the htc.lockscreen.apk from root explorer and if so where s it located? Will this work on skyraider?
Sent from my HTC Incredible using Tapatalk
I believe you can use root explorer, however I have not used that, I did it through adb. It is the htclockscreen.apk and .odex files. However, I would not remove them as you might want to put them back on at a later date. Use the mv command to either rename out something you will remember like htlockscreen.apk.bak, our move or to another directory. And it should be located under /system/apps.

has anyone got this working on froyo????? if so please help....i as well would kill for the rotary LS
Easy way is install unrevoked forever
Then use root explorer to rename
Htclockscreen.apk to .Bak.
Don't forget to reboot after you rename it.

A few things to note: this will not change the slider on the incoming call screen. Also, I've heard of issues silencing an alarm with the HTC lockscreen APK missing.
has anyone found a way to get this to work and NOT have problems with the alarm clock?
edit: i found my answer

This has been discussed many many times...but you will have to use the vanilla clock app to use the alarm. If you try to use wprldclock or setting worldclock through the sense widget you will have to do a battery pull to silence

I don't mean to bump this back up, but I'm running into an issue. I'm running SR 2.5.2 with s-off, and when I try to rename htclockscreen.apk to .bak it wont let because its read only. I can copy the fie elswhere but can delete the original. Using root explorer, thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks OP!
I'm running the new OTA Deodexed and for the life of me I can't get the vanilla clear lockscreen to work help por favor
Have you tried using Titanium Backup to uninstall HTC's lockscreen? Fresh Rom has a patch that deletes the HTC lockscreen and adds in the Android clock. Not sure how else you can do it on rooted OTA roms.
Coming from the Hero (I'm sure you remember what a pain it was to get the vanilla lock to render in portrait) I was astonished when, on my evo, I removed HtcLockScreen.apk from /system/app and rebooted and VOILA! Vanilla lock works natively on 2.2 on the EVO, you just need to get HTC's slide down lock out of the way first.
I made this real quick-like. It worked for me on 3.28. Flash through recovery. Always nandroid backup.
I did delete htc lockscreen .... Just gets stuck in a boot loop .... Should I delete lockscreen with the zip above?

The zip above deletes the HTCLockscreen.apk for you. It also adds in the Vanilla apps like Desk Clock, Music, and 3D Gallery. What ROM are you on?

For my stock-ROM Evo, I want to be able to disable the HTC slide-down lock and use the pattern lock.
Can I simply delete the .apk (presuming I need root for this) and the AOSP/Android screen lock will just show up?
Thanks.
SO I deleted the HTCLOCK.APK thinking I could just use pattern lock but I got the left to right slider came up now. I like the htc clock so it really borks the alarm.
Anyway I've tried flashing MYN rom twice but the lock I had doesnt come up' I would rather not wipe data as I cant grasp why I should have to. The rom should install the lock app back on right? I've extracted it from the rom and tried installing it that way. it fails.

Try going to the htc sense app, deleting data and restarting it or have someone on that rom pull the lockscreen apk. I'm on Fresh, so if i pulled it, im not sure it would work for you
Use root explorer or adb push to put it back in...note has to be in /system/app
Also, locker widget locker (paid app) will allow u to set whatever lock screen u want without them being installed...
Via EVO on XDA app...
Thanks for the replys. I went ahead and did a full on wipe and it fixed it. full wipes arent to bad now that google keeps the apps. As for the aftermarket locks, I've tried that one and lock 2.0 and they both are a little buggy and still dont silence the stock alarm clock.
So I use my Evo as my alarm clock. Often times when it goes off at 6am, I pick it up and hit snooze. Then it'll go off again in 10 mins or so, but when I pick it up, the alarm app is no longer showing to shut the damn thing off. I enter the clock app and there still isn't a place to shut it off.
I end up having to pop off the back and remove the battery...now so much for snoozing again, now I gotta get the hell up cause i'd oversleep due to no alarm set..Grrr!!!
What rom are you using? Is it Sense-based or AOSP? Are you using an AOSP alarm on a Sense-based rom?

This happened pretty often to me when I was running Myn's and Koni's rom. Only been on CM for a week so I'm not sure about an aosp rom yet.

Currently, I am running "Eternal Prophecy v5.8". Before that, I was running Myn RLS 5. It was happening there quite a bit. All Sense based
I felt your pain...
I had the same problem at first, but figured out that it was the lockscreen type that was causing the problem. The AOSP desk clock is only compatible with the Vanilla lockscreen, and the HTC World clock is only compatible with the HTC lockscreen. If you set your alarm in AOSP, but are using the HTC clock as your alarm (and vice versa), you will encounter this problem.
I personally love the HTC clock/alarm, because of all of the options available (stopwatch, timer, etc..) and am running Eternal Prophecy 5.9 which I love, so this is what I do: (Thanks to Dr. Ryder for guiding me through the process)
Before x-ferring the ROM to your SD, delete the Desk Clock apk from the ROM itself: "supersonic_signed_042711_090619.zip\system\app"
Then I add HtcLockScreen.apk, HtcClockWidget.apk, and WorldClock.apk (attached)to the same folder.
Once you flash the EP rom (or any other using the vanilla lockscreen as the default, really) you'll have only the HTC lock screen & Clock available.
On the other side, if you prefer the vanilla lockscreen, and desk clock, all you'd need to do is delete the WorldClock.apk from that very same folder, just to remove confusion.
This is all possible via RootExplorer, as well.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for this solution. I am reading this and first wondering how am I to do this via Root Explorer if you said do this before I transfer the rom zip to my SD card.
I still have the 5.8 zip on my SD card, so I just opened Root Explorer and browsed it. I find Deskclock.apk and when I long press it, all I get is a 'Extract' option.
I guess I am confused on how you delete and add to a zip file w/out extracting the whole thing and re-zipping.

Sorry, I wasn't clear.
Pre-ROM flash, you can delete/add apk's in the zip itself.
Post-ROM flash, you can use RootExplorer to delete the Desk Clock apk, and move the HTC apk's to the system/apps folder (I would assume a reboot would be in order, but I haven't tried it that way, only received instruction from Dr. Ryder). My understanding is that both methods will work the same, though again, I haven't tried the root explorer method myself.
Seeing as Dr. Ryder updates so often, I've made it a habit to delete/add before I flash.
get an alarm app
I am on the stock rom, rooted recently. I am using the stock alarm and when the alarm goes off, I see the default android unlock screen and once I unlock, there is no way to dismiss or snooze the alarm. I could do anything on the phone (e.g. turn it silent) but nothing short of a reboot would make the sound go. I have removed the HTC lock screen, could that be the cause of this or was it because of removing something else. I think I went according to one of the threads where while removing stuff, but I have certainly messed up somehow.

Yeah, that is your problem. Removing the lockscreen and still using HTC's clock app causes this issue. I'm not sure where it is, but there is a thread that has these mods in them that would remove the HTC Lock Screen and replace the clock to the AOSP clock. If you don't feel like doing that, just get a different alarm app from the Market. If you want something different, Gentle Alarm is pretty cool
I found the mod, but since I have already removed the Lockscreen (and now the HTC Clock as well), if someone can point me to the apk for the stock ASOP clock that works with EVO, that would be great. I've been trying to search it but haven't been able to find an apk that works with EVO. (I extracted the apk in that mod, but it did not install).

Moved it to the /system/apps folder, changed the file permission to 777 and restarted the phone. No luck.
Ignore that, another restart and it works. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough or maybe it needed a reboot. Thanks guys.
