How can I get that? I like the volume slider, since I have to switch to vibrate the other day (i know it goes to silent but I have an app to make it vibrate instead). If anybody has some tips or a way that'd be helpful.

Just delete htclockscreen.apk
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I'm on the Skyraider rom, don't know if that makes a difference but I'm deleting it with root explorer then the phone shuts off powers up and the file is right back there again.
Careful if you're on the stock rom and delete the default lockscreen apk, I've heard it makes the lookscreen look really bad. But it works on other roms.

Delete it via adb on your computer. I believe it is rm /system/app/htclockscreen.apk

i would just use astro file mgr on the phone, remove the files from the rom, and flash it again with all changes applied
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The only way you can delete a file in system, is if you've used unrevoked forever to unlock nand. Then in root explorer, change system to rw (read/write), then I'd rename the app instead of deleting just in case you need to put it back.

Why not
Boot in to recover
Mount System
From you computer (if you on Linux or MAC open a terminal window from Windows open a CMD window) at the prompt type:
ADB Shell
cd /system
mkdir app.backup
mv /system/app/htclockscreen.apk /system/app.backup
You never know when you may need one of files you "RM" into oblivion...

Yes I aplogize for the poor suggestion, moving the file to an alternate folder is a much better solution.

If you're in recovery, you have to mount system under the partions menu first.
Edit: or might be sd card & storage menu depending on version of clockworkmod you're running.

I've used better terminal emulator to remove the lock screen.
Use this line:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
To mount system.
Then:
cd system/app
rm HtcLockScreen.*
(Case sensitive)
Worked great, had to reboot though and it stuck. Until then the old one stayed.
Thanks to adrynalyne for the mount line.

Ok did exactly what you said, then like said it would it rebooted. Comes back up as the HTC one. Am I the only it's done this for? Why won't it just erase?
I just removed mine with adb and it worked without a hitch. Word of caution though if you use your alarm, you need install another clock app otherwise you won't be able to turn the alarm off without pulling the battery. I just installed the stock android desk clock and all is well again.

Anyone know the name of the photobucket APK?
So now that we have Perma-ROOT, is it safe to delete these bloatwares without worrying about future OTA's?
And what's a .odex file? How do we delete this? Can we just delete these apps thru Titanium Backup and then boot into Recovery to clear cache?
*EDIT* - n/m i see how to delete the .odex files now
What's the .apk name for Photobucket?
*EDIT* - Got it... it's PbAndroid.apk
Need help!
Well those are the commands to remove a app how do you push a apk file back onto the /system/app. I want to push a Bluetooth.apk file from the old ROM to the new OTA and see if that helps with the Bluetooth issue I'm having with the new OTA.
If your perma rooted why not just install titanium backup and uninstall the app. If your temp rooted then you can only disable the app cuz if you delete the apps it'll only reappear after a reboot.

I Really love the original launcher way better than any other launcher out there.
I really don't like the ADW launcher.
So is there a way that I can use the original launcher instead of the ADW launcher on CM7 RC-2?

You can use Titanium Backup to remove ADW, so if you can find an .apk of the original launcher, shouldn't be too big of a problem.

then after you push you can do adb shell or go in terminal and do

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I think your required to use adb, not simply open the apk like browser.apk or something.
I have a much simpler answer for you. I don't know HOW many times I need to post this information I feel like I've put it in 15 threads asking for stock launcher lol but here you go. No ADB required, etc.
You can find the mod here in the Nexus S forum: THREAD.
Download the first file and flash through recovery. You'll lose all your homescreen placements and widgets you have set up with ADW.
If you want to flash this over nightlies every day, you need to follow a specific order to not lose your placements again.
1) flash CM7 nightly via recovery (not ROM manager)
2) after install, stay in recovery (don't boot up into the ROM!), go to Advanced > Reboot recovery
3) after recovery reboots, flash the launcher mod
Just in case you're lazy, I've attached the file also.

ok you dont have to do it through adb you can do it all through terminal as well
jus put Launcher.apk on sdcard and do this in terminal
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/Launcher.apk /system/app
after you do that do
#ls
and look for Launcher.apk if its there then do
#rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
and exit
and your launcher shouldbe there

It is worth learning how to use adb/fastboot anyway.
Hello I got a question. So pretend I wanted to make ADW EX as a system app how should I do that. Also I have tried it using root explorer but I keep getting Force closes when I put it as a system app. Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks

Well if you're using a custom rom then you can open the rom .zip with something like 7zip, navigate to system>app then drag and drop ADW EX in there. Flash the rom like normal and you're done. That's how I do it.
There's also the terminal method mentioned by ilostchild, though what was forgot is mounting the system as rw
mount -o remount,rw /system
There's also ADB which is done the exact same way aside from having to tell adb to operate in a shell.

My thumbnail exploded to 707 MB and that's taking lost of spaces on internal SDcard
is there anything I can do to move the directory to External SDcard or resize it?
700 is a huge size, too huge for a thumbnail... At least for a normal one.
Thumbnail stores preview files such as those in your gallery or media player.
Its not recommended to modify the thumbnail anyhow.
But you can delete it if you want to.
I suspect its a mutated thumbnail. It means you got virus in it.
Try to scan it, if it doesn't go away, delete it. deleting thumbnails wont damage anything anyhow.
But just to be safe, you can always backup before doing it.

Use CM9 aka ICS based ROM. That was most likely one of the bugs remaining in CM10.
Though its true somehow instead of refreshing it accumulates.

Have you rebooted? Due to the way Linux works, you can delete -- or zero, in this case -- a file, but the space used won't be released until anything holding that file open have closed. A reboot closes all processes holding a file, thus releasing back the used space.
To reverse the command, run the command again, but change 055 to 075 (the original flags for the file).
I'm not sure about /sdcard/.thumbnails ; I don't see one in my SD Card... what video player are you using? Maybe it belongs to that app...
