Trying to delete htclockscreen.apk

When I try to delete htclockscreen.apk through adb I keep getting error saying file does not exist... used instructions from bottom of first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702361 What am I doing wrong?

Use root explorer to look for it and delete it, its the easiest way possible.

I tried that also and can't even find the file

These things are case sensitive. You are looking for:
/system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
Right?
What rom are you running? If it is any sense based rom it should be there..

Bumping your own thread is the best way I know of to get people to ignore your question, especially when your bump is less than 30 minutes after your last post. If no one responds in a day or two then a bump is ALMOST acceptable, it's just good forum etiquette. (tip: posting any kind of progress, even if it's failed attempts, is a much better way to bump a thread. That way people at least know you are trying to solve the problem on your own)
Also, have you posted your question in the thread for the rom you are running? That's probably the best place to get relevant answers.
Although I am inclined to believe you are missing something, unless flipz changed the name of the apk for some reason.
Use ADB to "ls" your /system/app directory and post the output here. If you have the Sense style pull-down bar lockscreen then the lockscreen apk has to be there somewhere.

another option is at least in previous fresh roms in the fresh updater is a vanilla lockscreen flashable zip. yuoc an try seeing if it is still tjhere for 3.2 and flashing it to kill it off for you.

If you can't find it buy system app remover from the market. .99 cents and I'm running barebones on cm6 smooth as butter.. I hit 1937 today with stock kernel. Anyways it has two categories. System and user apps. Even shows the icons next to the names of system apks. Don't have to search for them they all are in a list.

What boot animation are you trying to use? Post the link.
Most of them are flashable if they are in zip format, you do that through recovery. If the file is PC36IMG.zip though, that's through your boot loader.
Also what recovery are you on?

its alright, i really just want a rom that has close to outstanding battery life, then i want to be able to change to my favorite boot animation and a nice lockscreen and has tethering that works mine isn't working.

its just droid x one, i want with volume, and i dont get what you mean by what recovery? i have clockwork recovery when i go to recovery and ****

Clockwork recovery is your recovery. The name "recovery" is a little misleading personally but whatever. Anyhow, I dont think it's possible to get sounds on your boot animation since you are using miui (aosp roms don't have it built in). I think there is a thread around here about getting them, I just don't know where. Search for it if you like.
To get the actual animation though, just put the bootanimation.zip file on your sd card, not in any folders or anything. Then go into your recovery (clockwork), and flash bootanimation.zip from there. No need to wipe anything usually.
The instructions listed on that thread you linked are for doing it from your computer, a little more complicated than mine.

will try thanks

said that installiation aborted, can you recommened a rom to use? i'm still searching for a fav

MIUI lets you change boot animation and sound through the Theme Manager. The files are stored in different locations than on any other rom. If you'll link me to the file I'll make you a mtz file to use in Theme Manager and you can set any sound as the boot sound.

Try wiping cache and dalvik then reflashing the rom over itself. Don't wipe data and everything will be the way it was before the reflash. You can also try fixing permissions through Rom Manager or in Amon Ra recovery "fix apk uid mismatches". If you do both of these and the Theme Manager still doesn't work, the mtz file won't work.
I'm a little busy, but I'll go ahead and start on it. When I'm done I'll post it here along with directions assuming you get Theme Manager to work.

Well an mtz file won't work on that rom. I don't think the boot animation will work the way it's currently set up. I'll try it on my phone and see. If it doesn't work then the file names will need to be changed. I can do this for you but it will probably be tomorrow before I can finish it. If it works as is I will give you directions on how to get it working on that rom.

Change battery Icon help.

Wondering if someone can help me. I'm looking to change my battery icons. Having a hard time finding them. Can I get a path and what I should do to change them? Can I just swap them out in a file explorer?
Thanks for any help.
What i am really looking to do is get calks battery percent in the unnamed rom. if anyone can help.
thanks
Sent from my SPH-D710

Ok i was able to extract the images from calks rom using apk manager but really dont know what to do from here well enough to try it. what would i need to do next to get the images in the unnamed file?
thanks
idk i extracted both and i cant seem to tell the difference however when i am using the roms i thought there was. who knows...

bump... I'd also like to know how to change my battery indicator. I want to have a numeric percentage up there. i don't want to install an app that adds a separate indicator either. My phone is rooted, and I'm hoping I can do it without installing a custom rom.

Gentlemen, all you have to do is download ROM Toolbox. Once installed, go to interface, then icon changer, there you can choose from a large variety of icons to replace the battery icon.

Awesome, thanks. I checked it out, and it gives a warning that not all the battery icons will work with all phones, due to different increments. Anyone know if the ones with 1% increments will work with the Epic 4G Touch?
It also says that I should do a nandroid backup first, so I'm gonna figure that out before I try out the icon change. The first "how to" that I read for doing a nandroid backup says that I need to install ClockworkMod Recovery, and to do that, "In ROM Manager, tap ‘Flash ClockworkMod Recovery’". I can't find any mention of ClockworkMod Recovery in ROM Manager. I'll look for an alternate way to install CM Recovery, but I thought I'd mention it in case I'm missing something in ROM Manager.

[Q] build.prop edits

Hopefully just a quick and dirty question. I used esfile's note editor to edit the wifi scan interval on my build prop and it somehow caused AOKP to fail to boot. I fixed the issue and am running fine now, but can anyone recommend a safe way to edit the build prop while actually on Android?

I've used Rom Toolbox Pro to change my scan frequency without any issue. I have not tried on AOKP though.

I'm sure that it had something to do with the editor I was using. In the past, I would copy to internal, edit on PC, then push back to system. Esfile probably muffed up the formatting because when I rebooted, I got constant black screen after Samsung logo. A quick Odin of EL29 with cwm and a reflash of AOKP and all is well. But, I'd still like to be able to manually edit build prop on the device.
I was under the belief that ROM toolbox was a no no on the e4gt, especially ICS.

ROM toolbox mostly ok. ROM manager not ok
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

As stated above it ROM Manager that will not work with this phone on GB or ICS. Using it to load CWM on your phone can brick your phone. Rom Toolbox hasn't bricked a phone to my knowledge. It has caused bootloops when changing boot animation and fonts through it on ICS though. I haven't had any issues with changing build props on ICS though, but again I have not tried it on AOKP/AOSP/CM9 ROMs.
Sent on HyDrA using Tapatalk

ROM toolbox worked well, thank you. Also, I guess the best benefit from this thread is clarification between ROM toolbox and ROM manager. Much appreciated!

Can anyone enlighten me as to why ROM Toolbox is the only thing that seems to work? I to have tried the ES File Explorer method, which worked perfect on my Evo 3D, but on E4GT it sticks at Samsung boot screen. I then booted into recovery, did adb pull, edited file on PC, and adb push back to phone. After rebooting I checked build.prop and it did not reflect the changes, just default settings (and yes I made sure to save the changes before pushing).
I unfortunately have only had the phone a week and it was shipped with FF18, so not sure what behavior was like before update. Pre-ICS, were you able to make manual edits to build.prop without issues?

Did you try wiki rootzbox? But unfortunately it's a paid app. You can ask first about your device compatibility from the dev before you buy it. Afterall it's created by Aokp rom dev.

I went ahead and got ROM Toolbox and it did work, I'm just curious as to why it works but a manual edit does not.

Think i may have forgot it the first time, which may be why I booted back in with default values. But then again it did say adb push was completed. The second time i tried adb and made sure to remount first it resulted in stuck at boot again. Since ROM toolbox worked it's not a big deal anymore, but curiosity is still eating at me...

{Script} CPU1 disabler while in sleep!!! The Battery Saver Mod!

Script Version!
Code:
This time I present to you a script that will in theory (and so far for me, in reality) save us some battery without having to risk our hardware with undervolting! I present to you...
[B]CPU Sleeper[/B]
[QUOTE]Honestly the Script can be made to work with any Dual Core / Quad Core! The Only Problem is you need to be Rooted!
~ Currently the issue with CM9, is that the boot becomes incomplete while in init.d folder without Modification to the sysinit..
~ however, with any rooted device you can download the script & continue to use it via a script manager app on every boot.
~ With the Script Manager App, this script virtually can run on any Multi-Processor CPU
Hope that clears things Up,
~~Eugene[/QUOTE]
[U]What is it?[/U]
Its a fairly simple script that will put CPU 1 OFFLINE when the screen turns off. Once the screen comes back on, it will allow CPU 1 back ONLINE.
[U]How does it work?[/U]
Since we have dual core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1, core 1 and core 2, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active, this script will make sure CPU 1 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.
[B][COLOR="red"]WARNING! READ THIS![/COLOR][/B]
This script relies on init.d OR script manager! CM9, for some reason, tends to run this at the exact same time it runs some other script (I forget atm which) and it will clash, causing no boot! CM9 users MUST use the script manager version install! Flex Reaper appears to work fine with it as init.d. I strongly urge you to use the script manager version of this, NOT the flashable version. Always make a nandroid backup before modifying the system, including this!
[U][COLOR="Red"]Instructions[/COLOR][/U]
Available in 2 versions, script only version which you can place wherever you want and run however you want, or a CWM/TWRP flashable zip that will place the file for you in /system/etc/init.d and set permissions.
[I]Version 1: Flashable[/I]
Same as any of my flashable releases, I did most of the work for you!
Make a full backup
Download to external SD card
Install from SD card
Pick the cpu sleeper zip file
it'll be almost instant
reboot
Shouldn't be any need to clear caches or anything like that.
[I]Version 2: Script only[/I]
This can be run in 2 ways, via init.d support, or via script manager. Both are pretty similar, and can be done a number of ways, however this is the basis of how.
[U]Init.d supported kernel:[/U]
Make a backup!
Download the script file, making sure no extensions get added onto the file. Copy the file to /system/etc/init.d and set the permissions to the following:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, reboot the system, and it will take effect when your system is finished rebooting.
[U]Script Manager[/U]
This method is probably the better method, and should work with any kernel/ROM. Download the script file, making sure no file extensions get added, and copy it to /system/etc. Set the file permissions to:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, load up script manager, select browse as root (if it isn't already set from the crossix mod method in the guide) then browse to /system/etc and select the script file S98cpu_sleep, then select ROOT and BOOT options. After this is set, reboot system.
[U]What do I do if I can't boot after using this?[/U]
You made that backup, right? Ok, then here is what you do.
Hold the power button until the tablet powers off
Press and hold the volume down button, next to the screen lock switch
Press and hold Power (while holding volume down)
Once the recover kernel message comes up, release the buttons
In CWM go to advanced, mounts, mount system, then format system
In TWRP, go to wipe, then wipe system
In CWM go to restore, advanced restore, restore ONLY system
In TWRP select restore, then uncheck all so ONLY system is checked
After restoring system, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot system.
System should boot normally.

Since we have Dual & Quad core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1/2/3, core 0/1/2/3, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active "CPU0", this App will make sure CPU 1/2/3 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.

As a begging dev myself, I appreciate your work. Keep on keeping on.

Not sure why previous thread was closed, as no reason was given, but the flashable works FINE on my phone. I had no issues whatsoever. If everyone were to follow the instructions listed they would see that they are advised to make a backup IN CASE something does go wrong and it won't boot. Major props for this man. Just curious, but I noticed that after flashing this it seems that when the screen is off the phone downclocks to 384k KHz. I do have a profile on SETCPU for when screen is off to downclock to 594k KHz. I'm assuming that this script is what is downclocking this below the minimum i had set in SETCPU?
