I am new to rooting, but am learning a ton. I wanted to see what the RenderFX widget and the RenderFX lock widget did......but every time I start one, I get a FC. Can someone please help.
Also, do I need to download a lock bar in order to get the RenderFX lockbars to work? For example when I switch to rotary, my lock screen doesn't change. I also do not see a way to get more sliders in the options I have.
I hope this all makes sense and Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You have to rename or delete the htclockscreen.apk from the/system/app folder, before any other lockscreen will work.

OK.....maybe I don't need this widget to work, after searching for it a while....it seems rather useless. However, is there a need for it in MikFroyo 4.5?
And my other question about the sliders......how do I get those to work?
Thanks again!

I'm trying it now....thanks!
So I found the file using the ESfile explorer........but it says it can't be renamed or deleted. Am I going to have to use ADB to do this?
Just go into Titanium Backup or whatever you use and uninstall the Lockscreen settings apk and the force closes will stop.

You have to mount the drive as r/w. I'm not sure where that option is in es, but in root explorer its on the to right of the screen

Use the Lockscreen app in your app drawer

Wow, I feel like a moron. I finally got it deleted and the lock screen options are working and loading. However i still get the fc on start up about the com.lock.settings.
How do I get that to stop?
YAAAAAAAAAAY! I got it working. Thanks for all the help and patience with me! I love this forum!

I need some help into cooking Launcher Pro Plus into CM6. I bought and installed it to my current CM6 test5 from koush and it runs really,really good. Best one yet. I understand that it works great, as is, but I'd like to cook it in and take ADW Launcher out.
I know I would need to do much more than just switching out apk's. What other files would I have to modify for cooking it in?
Would it be much easier for me to push,pull, and modify a few files from my current ROM?
I just want it installed as my main launcher in system. The PLUS version is a paid app so I'm sure I won't be the only one asking how to do this.
7 zip works.

Wouldnt it be as easy as deleting ADW and the just pushing Launcher Pro to /system/
Don't really think you need to do anything else.

Heh. Well that's what i'm trying to find out. I thought I would have to modify more files to instruct the install process or 2.2 to look for Launcher Pro Plus, instead of ADW.
I'm a noob so I don't know.

You can have multiple launchers on your phone. If you put LauncherPro and others on your phone. If you have more then one installed at first it will ask you when your first boot your phone to select which one you want to run. It also has an option to set as default, meaning that is the default launcher that will always go to. If you don't set a default, every time you press the home key it will ask you which launcher to run. If you set a default and later want to change it to another launcher, go to settings>applications>choose the current default launcher and select clear defaults. Then it will go back to asking what you want to launch when you press the home key and you can choose a new default.

Why not just remove ADW through root and reinstall LauncherProPlus from Titanium Backup? Provided you already have a version saved on there?
So... you're going to put one of t
he few paid apps that deserves a couple if bucks in a publicly available download?
Edit: nevermind, my noobness didn't read the post more carefully. My apologies.

I searched, with no luck, I looked through my phone and tried EVERY single folder.. Well almost all folders.. Dropping the icon I want in and then going to custom icons and it only shows me camera stuff..
So where do I put the file/icon so when I click custom Icon it will direct me to that?
THANKS!

I'm not sure I know what you are asking or what the issue is, but I keep all of my icons in my dropbox account and they are always available in my gallery when I make changes to LPP. Also, it makes it easy to grab new icons on my pc and have them on my EVO dropbox.
Hope that helps.

Same here, I keep a folder called lo icon in my dropbox, it always show up in gallery when I pick customs icon.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
I have had a problem with custom icons being resized (too small) when using them in the dock. If you replace the native launcherpro icons within the apk they look much better imo. The icons are in res/drawable-hdpi.
Just rename the icon you want to use to one of the built in icons in launcherpro and it will show up in the native launchepro icon list.
OK I have 10 custom icons.. I hold down a button in the dock and click change icon, then custom icon.. it shows me locations for my pictures.. how do I point it to where the icons are which are on the scard

Do you see the icons at all? The icons should show up just like the pictures. Do you see the icons when you just go into the gallery? You may need to use something like sdmount to scan the sdcard again.

I was wondering if there was a way, and how to, edit the default app icons, so when opening up the app list or placing one on the home screen, the icon is one other than the original?
Thanks
You would have to change the icon in each apk file.

redemptive, but i have launchepro, so I know I can use the feature on that. But what I mean is: I have really nice icons i found, and I use SiMi folder widget. I can't edit the icons in the widget, those are the default ones in the apk. However, i tried editing the apk itself, but it disappeared when i rebooted, which seems to happen a lot.
Did you sign the apk after you got done editing it? Any third party apks will need to be resigned, any stock apks do not.

Last time i tried this using apk manager, it still wouldnt work, but i can give it another shot.
I get to signing it, but from there i try to install and it says "application not installed"
Do I need to uninstall the original apk first or something?

If you use adw or lp, you can do that by long pressing the icon and selecting a custom one. If not, you'll have to theme them

Download apk manager from the forums...then when you use it on the apk, just extract it, don't decompile it, then drop in your image and zip it as a regular apk, don't recompile, and then sign it...that's it

did you install a custom screen lock?
Yea, its a vanilla lockscreen mod-addon for the RSL5 Rom. Dont tell me that can be the problem?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I guess it can. Vanilla lock mess up my alarm (time is right but sometimes alarm starts and i cant dismiss it so i have to power cycle my phone), so I am looking for solution too before I go to HTC lock.
Yea. The vanilla lockscreen is great, im just not liking this clock replacement. I used the stopwatch alot.
Sent from my Phone among the Deathstar.
Vanilla lock doesnt allow you to use the HTC world clock. If you happen to use both and an alarm starts sounding you cant turn it off. because of this most Mods for vanilla lock screen remove the world clock. This is what you are noticing.
I would just search the app marketplace for stop watch or other clock replacement ... there are tons of them. "beautiful widgets" clock i believe has all the components though it costs.
How would I go about removing the Vanilla lockscreen and replacing it with the Htc Lockscreen without reflashing the rom? Im really not in the mood to recustomize my theme again.
Sent from my Phone aboard the Deathstar
you would need to replace the HTClockscreen apk in system. If yuo ahve it backed up or saved youc an do that additionally youc an open your rom or theme's file and look for the apk under sytem/app and pull it out and push it back to your system app folder on phone.

Thanks Im pushing it now as we speak. At first adb push never worked for me, but now it works like a charm!
Now that I finally have Android 4.2.2 I'd like to use Dash Clock but the Sense lock screen really ruins the experience. How can I get the stock lock screen app as an APK? Or is it another way to get a more clean lock screen that works with Dash Clock?
Try to rename htclockscreen.apk to htclockscreen.apk.bak and see if that works.

This gave me a new AOSP-looking lockscreen but I couldn't edit any of the widgets on the lockscreen. And there was only one page on it. Is the Sense launcher to blame here as well?

You have to go into settings>personalize>lockscreen style>then choose the widget one and click settings and it will bring up the menu of available widgets (it's just like how you configure a live wallpaper).

Problem is it looks like crap on the stock HTC lockscreen since it gets resized to such a small size.
having an issue w/ dashclock 3rd party modules (ie: applauncher module): cant get any of the shortcuts to work. ie: i set up a direct sms or app shortcut but when i extend the widget to press on the desired action, nothing happens. after i press the desired shortcut, unlock the htc l/s, my homescreen is all that shows up...any ideas? tia.

Make sure you have mounted system as read/write and it's not mounted as read only, then it should work.
