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

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.

Mount System

ADB Shell
cd /system
mkdir app.backup
mv /system/app/htclockscreen.apk /system/app.backup

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.

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.

It won't let me change the permissions on /system (rest works).

"SU File Manager and Terminal". Best file manager you can buy, and it allows /system and /data to mount as rw in file explorer mode.

From adb shell or a term session on the phone, makes no difference:

I know there are at least 5 uploaded on this forum, and I'll start to try each one one by one since I can delete them now.

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.

find a rom with stock launcher and push it in the phone via adb push
adb push /system/app/Launcher.apk
then after you push you can do adb shell or go in terminal and do
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtd3block /system
rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

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.
I noticed that force closes would lock up my phone with ICS ROMs enough to make it completely unusable at times. I noticed that this is so because a system state dump is done every time it hangs by default. I don't know how to disable this internally, but found out how to prevent dumpstate from running when this occurs.
Code:
su
busybox chmod a-x /system/bin/dumpstate
Enjoy!
So we just open a terminal emulator and type in that code?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
An easier way is to navigate to /system/bin in Root Explorer, select dumpstate, long press, change permissions and remove execute permissions for all (system, user, etc).
Update: It's critical to ensure you have "R/W" permissions on the folder before doing this, if it reads "R/O" at the top, make sure you change it (change it by clicking on the "R/O", it will change to "R/W").

yea that happened to me what i did was flashed darkside cache wipe n booted then went into manage apps, root explorer then cleared data/cache for the app (i have a feeling i didnt even need to darkside cache wipe i probably just needed to clear app data but those are the 2 steps i did anyways)
Sorry for the late responses. It seems like others covered the spread, though. You can type those commands into a terminal or with adb using adb shell. I've never done it with Root Explorer (I use ES...it's free and can browse/remount as root), but make sure it has root permissions before continuing. Also make sure that the /system partition has been mounted as read-write; it won't work otherwise.
Can confirm it works with root explorer just make sure you switch to r/w
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I posted about this working in Root Explorer, without trying it firsthand, I've tried it now, and it does work. The reason is this, the original post's command simply reads: for all (that's the "a" part) users remove execute (the "-x" part) permissions. You can mimic this functionality in any App with the ability to change file permissions. It's critical to ensure you have "R/W" permissions on the folder before doing this, if it reads "R/O" at the top, make sure you change it.
This will essentially odex all files in your /system/framework and it will do it straight from the Android UI via my personal favorite app ... this is good because it frees up memory, makes UI transitions cleaner, and reduces DVM size.
NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO ODEX YOUR /SYSTEM/APP/ DIRECTORY THEN TRY TO ODEX USING THIS METHOD. YOU WILL HAVE A BAD DAY. 0_o framework must me odexed before system apps
1. download the odex.zip here --> PURPLE
2. extract all files with a file explorer, i prefer root explorer or fx file explorer
3. place the extracted folder and all of it's contents in /data/local/tmp ... so you should have /data/local/tmp/odex/+(misc files in new odex directory)
4. give the new directory and ALL contents FULL permissions - full read, write, and execute perms. You will need to set them all individually. the odex folder, and all contents. your file explorer, if it has taken you this far, should be able to accomplish this. Also, mount your system as writeable as well!
5. download this app TERMINAL EMULATOR dont worry it is free. open the app
Type the following commands - each new line should be executed with the enter key:
su (hit enter, it will ask for root)
/data/local/tmp/odex/odex (hit enter, you will see
you will see a bunch of outputs. there will be a message when it is done (honestly, like 10 seconds if that) saying something like "enjoy your hybrid ROM"
type "reboot recovery" (without the quotes)
device will boot into recovery immediately after you hit enter...
wipe cache and dalvik cache once more each, and reboot your device. PROFIT :good:
*Disclaimer - I don't take donations, just hit the thanks button, and the thanks button for anybody I mention in my thread.
typing su in doesn't request root permission. I am definitely rooted, not sure what's going on.
EDIT: Got it, the su was working but I didn't realize that it might just change from $ to # instead of asking for permission. I also had to grant not just the directory, but all of the files in the odex folder full permission, which might have just been a reading comprehension error on my part. Worked flawlessly after that. On Infamous 2.2

your super user app is probably set by default to allow access. also, i will update the OP to be a little more clear about setting the perms on the directory AND it's contents.

Yes after you odex your framework you can odex system apps.
The main thing about odexing is your apps load faster and it frees up memory in your /data/ partition because you are removing a good chunk of dalvik cache.
Also does improve performance just a tick, by that I mean general UI responsiveness is improved.
