OK, this is strange. I was messing around in /system/app and somehow managed to get the stock Android lock screen. The only thing I did was copy HTCLockScreen.apk to /sdcard and tried installing it (which failed). After I restarted, I had the stock Android lock screen and now "HTC Lock Screen" is listed under downloaded in the apps menu in settings.
Here are some screenshots:

Sounds like you removed the sense lockscreen from system/apps leaving you with stock lockscreen. Copy it back and sense will likely return.

you removed the HTC lock screen.. so it defaults to stock android.
How is that possible, I don't have root. My bootloader is still locked. The file is still in /system/app as well.

Must be because you copied it to SD and it now thinks its a user app and can't run it.

I notice you said copy... Are you sure you didn't move it? If you only copied it, the apk should still be installed correctly.

No, since I don't even have root. Not even possible.
If what dottat said is true, this would be a great way for people who aren't rooted/unlocked to get a stock-ish experience.

What happens if you delete the apk from your SD card? Does the HTC lock screen come back? I'm wanting to get the stock Android lock screen, but I do like having the sense weather widget on the lock screen.
Sent from my phone using an app
I could probably write up a post on it later. Also have a copy of the stock launcher that can run outside /system.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFF! I got it to work too! But there's a catch.
I followed everything OP did EXCEPT to try and install on SD Card. I moved the Lockscreen.apk to SD Card, rebooted, and nothing happened.
I did this again, but now I attempted to install the Lockscreen.apk and of course it fails. Rebooted the phone and stock lockscreen! :good:
Awesome! I wanna try this. Now if only you could do the same thing with Sense in general. -.-

Is it possible to modify the unlock screen for our phones so that it doesn't use the Sense one? I'd really prefer having the stock Android unlock screen one over this.
If possible would our phones have to be rooted for this type of override?

Stop suggesting Lockbot. It doesn't even work.
lockbot does the stock unlock screen... care to post a picture of the screen you are wanting... seems i am confusing the nonsense lock with something else
Ok to clarify. We want to have to stock 2.1 lock screen (slide to unlock) instead of having the Sense Unlock (pull down unlock) WITHOUT any app.
The stock ROMS that are out have them... we want that just standard, not just on the ROM. Clear?!
Another cool thing about the stock 2.1 unlock is the ability to go into silent mode from the lock screen without unlocking the phone first and doing it through another means. It saves time and is convenient. I'd love the stock lock just for that reason.
This is what I got

Thread for fix above
just tried to adb push the android.policy.jar from yeti's nexus theme, that didn't work either... got that idea from the guy saying he modded the android.policy.jar from the post above...
no go
just tried to pull the android.policy.jar from yeti rom, and put into an update.zip file and install via clockwork
no go
Just tried to pull the android.policy.jar from PMF ROM and install via update.zip
no go...
I'm pretty curious about this as well if anyone can figure it out that'd be great. I've tried software (app) unlockers in the past and they are horrid.
This really can't be done with the stock ROM as it is. The entire ROM has to be deodexed and then the android.policy.jar can be replaced.
Just an FYI for anyone else who may be looking - I tried lockbot free per the rec in this thread, and it works great.

when it is locked can you bypass it by hitting the home button? that is the only issue I have with lockscreens from the market.
Well this has been tried on a different handset...trying to push a random .jar file will never work. Far more porting involved. Its built into the sense even though in the frameworks there's . Pngs for the stock lock screen.

Nope because the ROM you are putting the .jar file onto has to be entirely deodexed, including the /system/app folder.

Yaay. The ICS boot animation hypnotizes you every time again you boot your phone.
Installation
Step 1
Get S-Off, and root is useful too.
Step 2
Download the file attatched to this post.
Step 3
If you have a Sense ROM, the bootanimation's location is in /system/customize/resource
Browse there
Step 4
Replace with the current bootanimation
Most bootanimations' name is just bootanimation.zip but some ROMs have htc_bootanimation.zip. In that case, you need to rename it.
Step 5
Reboot and enjoy!

I think this animation is to hard for our phones.
Its verry choppy thill it gets fully loaded and then it stays only few seconds when phone loads...
I prefer less demanding ones...
Funny thing is I will probably have to add this to the ics port I'm doing as at the moment its just got the old android logo.

For those who have a non sense ROM the bootanimation.zip file should be located in /system/media
Hopefully this info helps you make it smoother:
Im using an HTC Wildfire S A510A with Cyanogenmod 7.2
I accidently removed the launcher and it got stuck in a boot loop
it repeated the animation over again and after the first time it was very smooth
In my WFs (vodafone branded) i have 4 files inside /system/customize/resource/
1. Bootanimation.zip
2. Downanimation.zip
3. VF_Bootanimation.zip
4. VF_Downanimation.zip
The first 2 is the logo of the HTC and the second 2 obviously Vodafone's.
To install this bootanimation which of these i must replace?
If i delete them all 4 and i just copy 2 times the same file bootanimation (your animation) with the names bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip i will have any problem or not?
I found this somewhere and finally pushed it. It is the standard ICS Dialer, but now with Smart Dialing FINALLY!
I used Root Explorer.
Rename /system/app/Contacts.apk to Contacts.apk.bak
Copy new Contacts.apk to /system/app
Set Permissions the same as the old Contacts.apk (rw-r--r--) [screenshot below]
Reboot
Requires Root (and RootzBoat 4.0.3 rom?)
Something tells me it was the custom CM9 dialer. So if this is an issue I can remove the links.

I was using this on an RootzBoat AOSP 4.0.3 rom, maybe that's a reason. Have you guys tried just installing it? I also did it on a clean install.
Try:
Clearing cache from Settings>Applications
Fix Permissions
Installing it
etc
I can't see an AOSP rom being all that different from stock.
Off Topic: I think our phones can take screen shots out of the box? I think I've accidentally took a few but never figured out the correct combination of button presses. I'd like to take a few screen shots of the dialer in action. Hopefully I'm not completely out of my mind and the Nexus CAN take screenshots natively.

Thanks, updated first post. Great indirect way to finally figure out what I was really after!
This is an AWESOME feature. MUCH needed. Plus saves me from downloading an alternative. I hope Google implements this into all of their stock dialer builds.
If this does require a custom rom, then I'd say its work it. I'm using RootzBoat which is pretty much pure stock. Doesn't feel any different then when I was on stock 4.0.2.
Worked first time on AOKP. Very nice, thank you for sharing.
Does not work on ARHD 2.1.1, possible because it's 4.02. Moved and set permissions correctly. Oddly enough, if I try to straight up install it it says "there is a problem parsing this package."
also running arhd 2.1.1 and didn't work for me.

And others have confirmed it IS working on ARHD ... so that has to be something else we are missing - perhaps CDMA vs GSM?

Trying to push system odex files, from a different ROM to my current. I've fixed permissions, etc. I can't get it to install. Btw, its the sense clock widget. No matter what I do, I can't find it in the widget list. Even after a reboot. What am i missing? The ROMs are compatible, same Sense version. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am new to this so I have been trying to teach myself as I go. This is what I have done so far:
1) I managed to get the .apk and .odex from stock.
2) Copied them to the system/media folder
3) Matched the permissions on them both in ES File explorer.
4) Moved them to system/app
4) Restart device
This is still not working and will not install. I feel like I am either missing a crucial step (most likely) or it is not compatible.

I recently disabled this service on my stock JB device. I took a look at the OS logcat file and was concerned seeing approx 100 errors every few seconds. Attached is a sample, which repeated along with lots of other mystery errors. Anyone know what it means? There were no signs of trouble using the phone, but seemed excessive. I had tried the widget once a few weeks ago, then removed it. No alarms were set. Am I over reacting? What does it mean?
Sorry for the html tags. Also attached link to full log file if anyone has any insight into this or the other errors constantly thrown. Is this normal?
Thanks!

This looks like it requires some hardcore reprogramming which unfortunately is beyond my capabilities at the moment. I am self teaching myself this stuff as I go and have minimal programming experience right now. Coming from TW to an ASOP rom can be tricky from what I have been reading.
