[Q] [REQ]Rotary Lockscreen

Hey Guys!
I was just wondering if it'd be possible to get the rotary Lockscreen on HTC Desire. I found the Thread in the Theme Section but it seems that the .zip-file from there isn't working, 'cause there isn't actually a Lockscreen in it. The Vanilla Lockscreen is in every Smartphone with Android, because it's part of the OS, but not the rotary... So shouldn't there be a Lockscreen itself anywhere? In the zip from the other Thread there is only a META-INF folder and the system/framework folder with the android.policy.odex file in it...Or is the screen itself in the odex file? The whole zip is about 1MB big...Not very much
Thanks for your help in advance!

There is a lockacreen apk in the market that has the rotary one. Maybe not what your looking for but its an easy fix. I'll post a link when I find it

Yeah, you mean such apps like Lockbot etc. Don't like 'em, 'cause you can sometimes see the original (Sense) Lock and it's just not the same like the real thing, you know?
But thanks anyway
EDIT: Thanks to the Mod who moved it into the Q&A Section and sorry for the extra work...

I assume you've seen this thread already :hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686567
The thing is you need to flash the zip through the recovery, then it will work.
Cheers

At first, I started the phone with the Volume Down and the Power Button, went into Recovery (Clockworkmod) and went into the Menu where I can mount and unmount drives, 'cause it didn't work via Terminal. I've got no idea, why, but it just didn't work. When I saw that /system was mounted, I cd'd into the system/app folder and renamed the Htclockscreen.apk to Htclockscreen.bak, so the phone won't find the Sense Lock. Then, I typed in "Exit". My next step was, to mount the sd-card in Clockwork, because the file needs to be pushed onto the SD. No problem, the file (update_rotary.zip) was pushed successfully by adb. So I chose "choose .zip from SD-Card" (or smth. like that ) in Clockwork and clicked on the update_rotary.zip. The flash went on without problems and was, of course, very fast, because of the small filesize. After flashing the update_rotary I chose Reboot Phone and it went to the white HTC Screen. Nothing special. Then it showed the Bootscreen (HTC - Quietly Brilliant) - nothing special, too. But after a short time, the Bootscreen started new every 4 or 5 Seconds. So the Bootanimation was finished and began from new...Bootloop. And that was with ev'ry Rom I've tried. And every Rom I tried was deodexed, like it has to be....So I think I didn't make any mistakes and if so, please post them so I can try it

Clockwork has known wiping issues.
AmonRa is what most use.
Wipe cache
Wipe Dalvik
Choose zip and flash
Reboot.
If that doesn't work redownload your zip or revert the adb changes u made. Hope this helps. Sounds like your on the right track.
Ps. That app is called lockbotpro
But I know what u mean "its not the same"

Thanks...Gonna try it right now

EDIT: Installing AmonRA v5 first
EDIT2: AmonRA on my phone, flashing AuraxTSense right now, 'cause its deodexed. And that is important for this Mod
EDIT3: Made the changes. Waiting for reboot....

Reboots every 5 or 6 seconds....I think that's a Bootloop, eh? Hate it! I'd love to have that Lockscreen!

[Q] how can i restore system apk.

First off I'd like to start off by saying that I am kind of an idiot...with that said; I like to mess around with important files on my device(Acer a100) even though I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing.
Using titanium backup I uninstalled that download system apk. The one with the green icon and the white arrow pointing down. Now when I try to restore it through tit. Backup it will just freeze and keep saying that it is restoring and I have to finally force close titanium. I have also tried messing around with permissions in root explorer, fixing permissions in rom manager, navigating to system/app and installing it manually through a file explorer( get message install fail), and hard resetting.
The main problem is that everything I download will show in my notification bar and after I close/exit them they come back 5-30 min later. If I click on the download in my notification(not on the x) then my notification bar just closes. I can kinda fix this by turning my notifications off or cleaning data/cache on ?download storage? Apk/app.
Does anyone know of an easy fix for restoring this system apk. For there are no custom roms or recovery sources for this device that I have seen yet.
Thank-you, Robb

PM me with your email address, I'll email you the apk from my A100, I'm still running the stock rom that I pulled it out of the box with.
You can download it straight to your tab from your email, beforee you do, get a file manager (like es file manager) from the market. You will be able to get to your downloads folder from there and install it.
ummmmm............ could you repeat that?

He's got Root Explorer, that should do the trick.
To the OP: You are mounting the system partition R/W in Root Explorer when you try this, aren't you? Hate to ask a dumb question but.....

Yes I am hitting that button up top on root explorer changing it from r/w to r/o but I think some how I just got the wrong apk....after titanium wouldn't restore it I think I remember copying apk. From my phone (g2x) and attempting to restore those...dumb, I know I might of tried changing the names of the apk. Too,..like I say I f*** with s*** I have no business Fu****** with. I will p.m. my email now maybe I can get a screen shot of the system files if anyone feels up to it, so I can cross check proper name and sizes

How about just reinstalling the 3.2.1 update that is in the developer section. There should be no reason to factory reset since it is the same version. I have soft bricked mine a few times and I have just did the update again.
I even upgraded from whatever version the device shipped with to 3.2.1 without wiping the data.

A100 development section??? I see three a100 recovery downloads and one a101 recovery in our development section but when I download them i t says they were corrupted...if those are what your talking about...which one exactly should I use and what do I do with the file after words???
----sorry two that say a101 and two a100
So should I use file Id # 115,116,117,or 109

Use the one in this post. It is already decrypted. The ones in the frist post need to be decrypted using the Acer decryption tool. I have used the one I linked to probably 20 times. Once you run the update you will have to re-root the tablet.

thank-you all..recovered and fixed!!!
I was able to fix my problem by using the recovery update zips. But I want to thank everyone that helped, and remind people from experience to freeze unwanted system apps instead of uninstlling in titanium backup.u
Very important advice also is to search and read before starting new posts. I could have saved some time and headache just by doing that...the answers were just a couple paragraphs away the whole time.

[Q] Gallery App won't work?

Why am I getting this message? I just did a clean install of my current rom with a new kernel. Clean wipe of everything. Google couldn't help me out either.
<picture attached>

Sounds like the com.google.android.gallery3d file either got corrupted or removed. It however is one that should come back after a reboot and/or battery pulle and it should be fixed.
Please hit the thanks button if I helped

Neither.. still the same message. My Google+ photos are loaded though behind the error message.

if you have root explorer look in sdcard/android/data and see if the file I mentioned is listed there. If it is not the I would try the go under settings/apps/gallery and clear data and do the same for google+ then reboot. If that doesn't help then you may have to manually download it and place it there.

[Q] How to install back factory app?

Dear Forum members!
Today I wanted to modify the smiles in the Mms.apk system app..
when i Copied back and tried to isntall, my phone started to reboot and not come back... (I know of course I mistake
From ADB I fixed my phone but just a half success, I copyed back the original Mms.apk and changed the permissions to 644, my phone boots up normally, but I still can't install the apk.. if i try to isntall from system/app it says: Replace app.. (I dont see in any list to be installed) If I press Ok, starting to install, then says: X App not installed. In downloaded apps I see messaging with 0 kilobytes, i can remove. After this if i try to install from system/apps it dont want to replace but the same thing happens... (X App not installed) Another interesting thing. On my Sd folder I still have a copy of Mms.apk, if I enter into this directory withy any file explorer, its quit I have ftp server where i can rename to mms.app -for example. In this case the explorers are not quit But I have no chance to install like user and not like root?..
Of course i have rooted my phone and it works.
Is someone have any idea?
thanks: Karoly

Please help me
I installed to my phone a catlog to read out what happens durring the installation.. I see in the log there is no odex file in the mms.apk ... Is someone can suggest me a solution to install back my factory mms application? I really don't want to reinstall my system because of this problem. Currently I use the latest android update 4.1.2. I have too much settings and apps on the phone :S
Thank you in advance.

If your on a stock Google ROM (Yakju?) you should be able to download the factory image and fastboot flash just the system.img & your apps & data should be fine.

Hi. Thanks your answer.
I tried to flash only the system yesterday, wipe caches and fix permissions, my datas remained, but the mms app still not works.. nothing changed. Is it possible maybe to install this apk from recovery (cwm) mode?
Im sure if i reflash everything will work but i dont want to lose my apps, so i'd like to fight for it if its possible

Stop apk not made 4 system?

What files or information is being read when you go to install any apk and it revolts and aborts.
It's looking at something.
What file or information in what file is this or any apk looking at?
This should help other people as well.
I have been able to bypass using custom ROM program and installing it directly bypassing the check. Choosing system or framework etc..
Other ways fail.
Turning off signature and or MD5 Checking in the system would be nice to have....
After installing any npk as system it will go in ,but for some reason ..there is an actual need to copy the files directly to the locations ,and then set the permissions.. But if you upgrade? It might go into a failure on screen loop because of the library files.
Killing the program and going back and replacing the upgraded files manually may work.
Sometimes.. But I'm betting on XML or a java component to need resetting as will besides just the library files... Somewhere there is a pointer being placed in a file someplace that does not revert back.. Even if you uninstall and reinstall and then do it all over again.
Sometimes uninstall programs ,don't actually clean everything back out and revert things back they changed in the first place.
It will then take your time to go revert it back and track down errors and things that they changed.
Manually.
I'm referring to that experia keyboard. Everything went in nice and smooth and had to manually set everything. But as soon as I upgraded it... Bang inoperable. Screen came up blank.
Thank you for your time reading this.
Thank you.
