I used to be able to press menu to unlock the lockscreen on 2.1, but it seems to have been removed with 2.2. Is there a way to get it back?
Not without installing another app.
Look at WidgetLocker in the market. It does a lot of things including what some of the buttons do.
When I removed the HTClockscreen, or should I say uninstalled it, the menu to unlock worked. If you're rooted you can just use titanium backup to uninstall HTClockscreen.apk HTH.
Has anyone tried renaming or removing the stock launcher to disable it?

easiest thing is to install a new launcher, say, ADW or LauncherPro or Zeam or whatever, (I hear Trebuchet is out) and then enable that new launcher as Default... and by doing that you disable the stock launcher.
But never ever disable or uninstall or kill a launcher unless you have another one waiting in the wings to take over.
launcher is nothing more than an apk

I have the Tablet version of Go Launcher installed but I wanted to disable the stock launcher so that it isn't running in the background with Go Launcher just running over top of it.
Edit: I used Titanium Backup to freeze the stock launcher and after a reboot everything is fine. I'll probably end up renaming the Launcher.apk to Launcher.bak so that TiBu doesn't have to do the work.
I don't have any problems running another launcher. But remember you can't get access to the kindle stuff if you get rid of or disable the stock launcher. I have mine linked on my homescreen, so the stock launcher runs more like an app for me.
So im new to all this. My last "smart" phone was pretty basic and couldnt do much. I went through the root process thinking I would like it, but so far it seems like I wasted my time. I thought I would be able to uninstall useless apps and install apps right to the SD card. So far neither have worked. I was wondering if anyone could help and explain in plain simple english what I may be doing wrong or is this phone basically useless to root and just have to live with it as is? I tried titanium backup - all that did was take up almost all my remaining phone space, change my keyboard and switch my wallpaper back to default. I tried System app remover to remove unwanted bloatware - no change. I tried ROM toolbox lite to install apps to SD, I checked that box in the app for it to do this- downloaded an app to see if it worked and nope. So any suggestions on anything useful root does for this phone? So far it seems like i wasted my time on this.

Heya Andy, welcome. you have a great phone there, and It just needs a little patience.
-you can remove any unwanted system app using whatever Root Explorer/manager you Wish, including ES file explorer!
-you can install/move apps to SD. the best way to do that would be Link2SD. you'll need to look around and read to get acquainted with it, but it's a great little app and it will let you install hundreds of apps, all on SD.
-to make the best use of your Root, you should install this or something similar.
-One of the best things you can do with root, is to install Xposed framework and use modules to customize your phone. some of my favorites are: Sense6 Toolbox, App Ops, Network speed indicator, Xsense, Bootmanager,,,. they give you great control on many aspects of the phone and add some very useful functionality.
Hi all I am here with one other (un)usefull mod. With this modification you will be able to freeze all apps in native application manager + you will be able to set on/off notifications for all apps.
HOW TO:
make full backup in twrp
flash in twrp one of zip
freeze_app_mod_with_su.zip - if you use Move SuperSU to Settings Mod flash this one
freeze_app_mod.zip - in other cases flash this one
happy freezing
one issue - original launcher can't be freeze
This mod will replace Settings.apk with new one deodexed, it is based on 2.2.1 Oxygen OS version and is tested only on this version. Be careful what you will freeze or you can freeze whole phone
Good work.
But why spend time on this? We can use 3rd apps like sd maid to freeze.

I know, I know.... but I just enjoy it and I am trying to keep my phone "clean". Almost for everything exist 3rd apps but I like if it goes without them
If you tried to change your screen density and ran into gfx glitches etc, this is for you. A simple how-to change your screen DPI on a LePro 3 running EUI without messing up lockscreen clock, dialer, etc.
Firstly, the two methods I knew of with which to change screen density are as follows
- (ROOT REQ) Just changeing the sf.lcd_density value in build.prop (mostly) doesnt work at all, and doesnt affect the resolution whatsoever.
- The other method commonly used, and which doesnt require root if you have access to a computer running ADB is via shell, and using WM (window manager). This one will work, and change your DPI, but will mess up the interface. This is also the method employed by many apps on play store which require root to change your DPI, hence giving the same messy result.
Well, tonight I finally managed to make it work without any glitches, misplaced text etc, all is as it should be, and I'm running 360 DPI right now (screenshots).
Root is required (alternatively you could use TWRP to replace the file, on non rooted phones, I guess). Using a root explorer, navigate to \data\property\ and find the file named persist.sys.sf.lcd_density. Open it as a text document, all it contains is a number which is your phones native DPI
Change it to whatever you like, save and reboot.
Be warned, a TWRP backup is handy, coz a wrong setting can cause the system ui to crash on boot, leaving you dead in the water. :laugh:
Cheers, works here. My lockscreen pattern is still ****ed up, its either to the left or right, not centered, but apart from that its all good.
Is it better solution than Nova Launcher?

What are you talking about? Thia changes your device DPI, as in everything, not just home screen
@Incogn I believe that is a feature, to ease one handed unlocking, it moves the pattern to the side of the screen on which youve swiped your finger on.
I can live with the messed up dialer for now. 300dpi is perfect for me. =D

Using 380 and dialer is perfect here
Anything below 380 messes up the dialer, but nothing else. I solved that one by installing the google dialer

Interesting, which version? TIA
@Joms_US did it just this morning, @Abdiel1224 posted on Turbo's thread that it was possible by downloading opengapps aroma version, then install them through TWRP, selecting just the dialer and dialer framework. Sounds simple enough, but it wasnt smooth for me at all. After flashing, once booted, app called setup wizard would FC non-stop and wouldnt let me access my launcher/or anything else. After trying numerous times different gapps flashing options, restoring my TWRP backup, then flashing all gapps, etc etc, I finally concluded it was googles setup wizard that was f*cking with me....
The way i got around it was...creative. Managed to get into my recent apps, through solid explorer was able to launch titanium backup, and then force stop/freeze the offending app (google setup wizard). Et voila, after that it worked like a charm.
To save you all the headache/legwork that I had, if you should run into the same problem I did (System wizard FC on boot), just reboot to TWRP, navigate over to System/priv-app/setupwizard/ and delete setupwizard.apk
Works for me. However, the file did not exist. I just created it and put the number in. It worked great!
