Sense 2.1 Lock Screen for RCMix 2.0

Hello,
I am using RCMix 2.0 ROM ATM and it is a great rom, however I'd like to have old style lockscreen (new one lags a little sometimes and I find it a little hard to answer calls or disable alarms). Can anyone post it please so I can flash it.

Just check THIS THREAD and read the second post named EXTRAS.

Using root explorer, navigate to sdext\app_s mount r/w and delete HtcLockscreen.apk reboot and there you have it!

are you sure doing this wouldn't cause having no lockscreen at all

I found one thing which may be related to that;
Remove_ring_brand: but this is for CM7, I use bravo hboot. I think this is not for me thanks anyway.

I don't see any file there, did you do that RcMix 2.0 ? At version 2.0 lots of things changed including scripting which I don't understand much

I tried removing the HtcLockscreen.apk as well, i couldnt find it in 'sdext\app_s mount r/w' but found it in '/system/app'. This did not work however, after rebooting the phone the HtcLockscreen.apk was just there again. Did you find another solution or a flashable Sense 2.1 lockscreen?

unfortunetely, still looking I posted the issue a few times at RCMix forum as well but couldn't get help there. Please let me know if you find a solution. I'll post it here if I solve this.

you can do it easily with titanium backup(s-off user only)
backup your current lockscreen and then uninstall it from your system via titanium backup,reboot,done.
If you need the 2.3 lock screen you can install it from titanium backup anytime.

my phone is s-on thanks for the info though

ok, I solved it. if there is anyone interested in solution explanation is below;
Download file Sense_2.1_Lockscreen_A2SD.zip (or CM7 version dependin on ROm version you are using) from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/misc...ments&t=988570
then flash in recovery (dont forget to mound sd-ext and system)

Just noticed in settings, display settings, lock screen, stock android lockscreen.
What does this change ?

That's good news, thanks for posting it here. I can't try it right now but i will soon. Do all the functions still work though? Like the music widget on the lockscreen, alarm clock and answering calls?

That option doesn't work in RcMix S 2.0
By the way, to answer my own question: I tried Harnec's solution and it works, all the lockscreen widgets seem to be working as well. Great stuff!

[Q] Why won't this downanimation work?

Hi,
I'm messing with boot and down animations. I stole the file from Robocik's ROM (which I'm using and love) and created my own images for it and what have you and have a working bootanimation of my own. I'm very happy with it.
However, the attached down animation doesn't work at all. It stops my phone from rebooting properly and instead of rebooting, it blacks the screen to the bootanimation and then boots again. This isn't a full reboot (no splash1 logo then haptic vibrate).
If I log into adb shell and navigate to the system/customize/resource/ folder and rm downanimation.zip this deletes the animation and restores a proper reboot.
Could someone download the animation and help me figure out why it doesn't work? I've included the Robocik one for comparison, as that one does work properly.
Thanks in advance

Bump
Any ideas anyone?
I'm thinking of renaming the files to 0001-0025.jpg and seeing if that works.

Just bumping my thread. Surely someone knows what's going on here?
I can't understand why the Original works, and all I've done in my modification is change the images. I've kept the same format and filenames.

Kryten2k35 said:
Thanks, but, how do I check permissions? I'm not that adept with Linux, so I'm very new to the adb shell.
Also, I threw this into /data/local/ where I think the downanimations and such should be (I think they start in system/customize/resource/ and then get moved on install) but it still didn't work. I'm going to try the resource folder and see where that gets me, but it could be that I didn't manually change permissions. I can't see my data/local/ folder in ASTRO.

Which rom (LeeDroid, Baadnewz, Robocik, Coolexe...) and which hboot (a2sd, cm7...) you use?

I'm using Robocik's RCMix S v2.0, but I'm using the wmjam's modded version which gives D2EXT. As far as I know it's the stock hboot version. I am S-OFF'd using Alpha-rev, but again, I went stock.
Thanks

One do you have CWM installed. If so boot to recovery and wipe Dalvik cache and wipe cache partition.
Make sure these are the only permissions set ON; Read-Owner, Read-Group, Read-Others and Write-Owner.
This should reset the application back.

how to install cwm???srry im a noob..i need everything in detail..plss

Unofficial ClockworkMod Recovery v.5.0.2.6

cwm installed.dalvik cache wiped...how to set permission ON for Read-Owner, Read-Group, Read-Others and Write-Owner??

many force closes r occuring google services framework and android.process.acore

Sounds like you did more than delete the com.android.providers.contacts.apk.
You might be better off re-flashing your ROM or do as ahmadns said and just run the RUU to restore your phone.

You can use ES File Explorer from the market, its free. Navigate to the apk(/system/app) and set the permissions.

i havent deleted anything else..hmm ok help me with re-falshing or running the RUU

By chance did you try to change the permissions on the apk after you copied it back? Then you would need to reboot the phone after, my bad I forgot to state that.
But if that did not work, then go to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445 and find your version RUU.

ya i changed da permission...should i put da same RUU or can i put a different one?? i was planning to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260590

Since you have CWM installed then do use Jikantaru ROM, he does excellent work!
Other wise if you ran the RUU it would over right the CWM and root, so you would have to do that all over again, unless you just extracted the rom.zip file and installed that thru CWM.

ok...will this fix my problem?? i have 4 custom roms im a lil confused which to select http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314430..i would prefer this bcoz i need internal memory or this 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317931....then cm7 port and da other one which i hav already told u b4...

In essence yes. This will wipe and install a fresh ROM. If I was you, try all of them to find which one better suites your needs. They are all developed by talented people with each there own style and taste. Just try them at least for two days each to properly understand the differences. You will not go wrong with any in my opion.

after installing custom rom can i change back to original rom??

[Q] Titanium Backup problem

So, i installed TB and did a backup before flashing a rom... now i try to restore things but it doesnt find them, says i dont have any apps nor data to restore... i checked the folder, and its set up on the one where all the backup files are (/sdcard/Titaniumbackup) and i see the files there, but TB doesnt... already searched for solutions, but seems noone else has had this specific problem
so anyone got any ideas on how i can solve this??
thanks!!

Where are you encountering the error? What do you do for it to tell you you have no data to restore? Can you provide a screen shot? Also what ROM were you using before and what ROM are you using now?

im using RCMix 4.0 Energized Blue version, and when i did the backup i was on stock gingerbread tem-rooted (previous to downgrading). As to what i did...nothing i guess, just went into TB and when i went to backup/restore and selected batch and then went on to look at the restore part, it says 0 everywhere (as if there is nothing to restore), i've checked the folders and the files are there, so i dont get why it doesnt recognize them... hope this helps...

Can you try going to restore them individually? Maybe its a problem with batch. Did TB come preloaded on the ROM or did you install from market ?

Can you post some screen shots of the problem ? such as when you see the error on batch.. it's very weird.. What's the folder you're using for TB set up as?

and when you connect your device to PC ass mass storage (or when you attach your sdcard directly to your computer) what do you see inside TitaniumBackup folder? is it empty, or are there some files inside?

I believe I know the solution.
I think I had the same problem when I flashed NRG's RCMix ROM. Its an issue with the Busybox he cooked in with it. Don't know if its a version issue, or corrupt or something. But I think I downloaded the Busybox installer from the Market, installed Busybox, and Titanium worked fine.

Now that I think about it, I may be thinking of a similar issue I had with Titanium on my HTC Flyer Tablet (after updating to Honeycomb), and not my Desire Z with RCMix. Sorry if it was a wild goose chase. But I guess no harm in trying, anyway.

Yeah, no problem... at least it was an idea... but nevermind guys, i can live without the backups... thanks anyways to everyone who tried to help!

Could you try to flash the last recovery from Rom Manager and then try the "fix permission" option?
Then wipe the Superuser cache.
For back up, I use Mybackup root and never had any issues...

Any error messages when you open Titanium? When I had the Busybox issue, I think Titanium gave me an error message (whenever I opened it) about not being able to obtain root, or something about Busybox.
Another thing about the Busybox issue I had on my Flyer. The Busybox installer from the Market that I've always used (by Stephen Stericson) didn't work for some reason. But the one by JRummy16 fixed the Titanium issue.
Again, probably won't help. But if you're still running out of options, don't think it would hurt to try.

Guys, thanks for the help, but already figured out the problem... its not fixable as far as i know... the problem is it seems it didnt create two files: <somename>.tar.gz file contains the data
<somename>.apk.gz contains the app
and thats why it can do the restoring
PD: thanks to guhl on #g2root as he pointed to me i was missing those 2 files

How to change SuperSU to Superuser?

Im currently running JMT which uses SuperSU. I would like to use Superuser. Ive tried just flashing Superuser, but how to remove SuperSU?
I posted this in the ROM's thread, but never got an answer so hoping someone here will know

Delete the Superuser.apk in the ROM (it's really SuperSU) and pull the "real" Superuser.apk from somewhere else.

Um, even easier...
Download SuperUser recovery flash zip and while still inside Android on device go to file manager open /system/apps and delete the SuperSU.apk
Now restart to recovery clear the cache and dalvick cache
choose install from SDCard
Find where you downloaded SuperUser.zip and flash
Restart
SuperSU is WAY better at handling Super User requests [for instance, it has a wait state on the pop-up where it does not go quite as fast so some apps that take a min to request super user and another min to display the pop you aren't already at 1 - 2 seconds] and for instance for quite some time Super User was known to seg fault [basically an error happens and it doesn't work to grant access right when that happens] whereas SuperSU was created later to kinda address that and some other issues in SuperUser [not saying SuperUser is bad it is updated and does it's job, it's just SuperSU does it better].
Just if any guide says use SuperUser just replace SuperUser with SuperSU when doing something and in app drawer just look under SuperSU for it's app and not SuperUser.

Thanks for the help and input guys
