There was an older thread started by johnnylicious and I am going to be starting a new one that has the new files to skin/theme the lockscreen, phone, htccontacts, and Rosie. for the lockscreen the credits go to goldenarmz.
He created the batch file, I just edited the apk and the png files in there to make it work on the new roms.
BEFORE GOING ANY FARTHER, YOU NEED ADB OR YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DROP INTO RECOVERY CONSOLE OR RUN COMMANDS IN TERMINAL. If you do not have it, stop, go to the stickies, get it going and then come back here. do not junk this up with questions that you can search for.
"what is adb" - part of the SDK. it is a huge help, check out the stickies to get it.
"how do i get adb" - go to the stickies
"can i run this without root" - no
"can i run this on cyanogen" - no, this is for hero roms
"will you make this for non-rooted phones" - no, not possible.
Before doing any modifications to anything on ANY rom do a switchrom save or a nandroid backup.

DISCLAIMER- I take no responsibility for what happens to your phone, as the screenshots show, it works for me but that does not mean it will work for you. I will be glad to help if you run into problems.
These files have been tested are on working on the newest jacxhero builds from 1.8 on up so far. they should work on most of the other roms as well since they are all using jacxski newest kernel. enjoy.
credits to go goldenarmz for the lockscreen .bat file. if you seek credits just ask, i will be glad to give credit where necessary
-Clean up Hero-
Before doing any modifications to anything on ANY rom do a switchrom save or a nandroid backup.
Since I started running hero roms, i have come to realize that most of the stuff is junk and is not needed. Thus, I have removed many widgets, and many extra .apks that i do not use such as quickoffice, pdfviewer, java, flash, photo album widget, weather widget, music widget, contacts widget, messages widget, mail widgets. I am going to post the commands you can run in ADB to remove these items and speed up hero a little bit. rather than just do a .bat file, i will post them here so the n00bs can just copy and paste into ADB.
TO COPY AND PASTE INTO ADB, HIGHLIGHT THE LINE OF THE ITEM YOU WANT TO REMOVE, PRESS CTRL+C, GO TO THE CMD WINDOW RUNNING ADB AND CLICK IN THE WINDOW AND NOW PRESS ALT+SPACE ADN NOW "E" "P" (WITHOUT THE QUOTES) AND THE LINE SHOULD PASTE OVER. NOW PRESS ENTER AND IT SHOULD RUN.
COMMANDS TO REMOVE FILES
THESE COMMANDS ARE CASE SENSITIVE
adb remount
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app_s/BizCardReader.apk
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app_s/com.htc.MusicWidget.apk
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app_s/com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app_s/FlashPlayer.apk
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app_s/HtcClockWidget.apk

When removing widgets and some applications, the screen may flash and do the loading screen, this is normal.
Hope this helps you guys running hero roms get things going a little speedier, once again any questions, just let me know, I am working on removing other things here and there to pick up speed, if I find things that can be removed I will post them here.
here is a video of my g1 running my phone as is with all these edits
Console/terminal?
Is it possible to run commands from recovery/terminal? if so, could you please post them in this thread as well? Looks very nice, and i would love to give this a try!
Im gonna try using terminal when i get a minute. Im sure it should work.
Thanks palosjr

thanks for butting in. im home now. about to to add rosie and lock screen. i love the transparent look.
I actually like the lockscreen from Drizzy's 1.4r1 rom. If you want that, just grab the com.htc.resources.apk from his build, push it to yours and...no more arc .
The Phone.apk does not change the theme of the phone app on the 1.5.1 rom(link in sig).

Thanks for loading those commands on here! Ill add them to the OP and give you the credit! Also the lockscreen did come from goldenarmZ, credit has been given both at the beginning and the end of the OP. I will edit it and make more obvious.
What else would you guys like to see skinned/themed? I am going to work with market and peep. Anything else in particular?

I've used 2.1 for a day, but then flashed back to 1.5.1. 1.5.1 is faster, at least in my experience it has been. But pushing Phone.apk to 1.5.1 ROM doesn't work.
Though pushing com.htc.resources.apk from Drizzy's 1.4r1 to 1.5.1 ROM got rid of the ARC in the lockscreen.

As far as I know it should work. The thing that was keeping these mods from working before was the kernel changes. I am going to keep up with these and when the kernels change i will edit the files accordingly. If you want to be safe, just do this
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will pull your stock lockscreen, now run the .bat file and let your phone reboot. If it reboots and you cant get past the htc screen do this
adb remount
Adb push (the com.htc.resources.apk file you pulled\com.htc.resources /system/sd/app_s/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will get you back to where you were before. Hope this helps, but like i said it should work just fine.

try this file for phone.apk ... i took the Phone.apk directly from that build and edited it. If it works i will do the HtcContacts.apk as well. follow same instructions as in the OP
1.5.1 Phone.apk
before pushing, rename the file to Phone.apk
ok guys so after messing with peep.apk i got it to be white and transparent, but for some reason, as soon as the app actually starts and shows the tweets, it goes back to normal, i know it has something to do with .9.png and thats fine, i can mess with them, its just going to take more time. so in the meantime, what else would you guys like to see?

Just pushed the edits thru on jacxheroskiv2.1, everything but the lockscreen worked perfectly, did everything exactly as mentioned, don't know where I could've went wrong... the arc is still there, and when i personalize my phone it gives me the option of the transparent theme, i chose it and and my lockscreen is now a solid black picture with an arc over it...
pushed everything else first,
pulled my lockscreen to C:\
extracted zip to my sdcard, ran bat file...
files were copied and then i get the above mentioned.
Wassup palos? Nice to see you getting your hero theming on. Awesome work

dont zip the files to the sdcard, just zip them to the directory you downloaded them from, and then run the .bat, i think maybe when you put it on your sd it isnt finding the new files. also, if you push everything and then pull the lockscreen, there arent going to be any new images there because you pulled them off the phone.

Hey!
I am trying to replace the files in /system/app and /system/framework/ to make the deodexed...
but I can't do it, I've added the folders to SD card and I have followed the guide:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
but when I type to CMD this command then it doesn't do nothing: cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
It says only;
[email protected]:/ # cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
sh: cp: not found
127|[email protected]:/ #
What I can do, can I replace them by making flashabe .zip for CWM?
and how even can do the CWM flash script thing?
Please help, Thanks!

Hmm, because it says it can't find cp which is a pretty common linux command that is unless Android (with busybox I should add) doesn't support it. You could give adb push and pull a try rather than cp. 'rm' should most definitely work in adb shell.

Then there is something wrong with you busybox. cp is not supported natively in Android - you need busybox.

Okay! I can download from play store the busybox installers to install busybox but right now I don't need it because I did all manually..
The first question I am not sure can be done but if it can I would like to know how. When applying prerooted firmwares in cmw recovery is it possible for it to look on mounted usb storage? I see the usb storage folder but when I click it is always empty so to install new firmware I have to transfer it to the internal sd of the fire tv first.
Secondly there is an option in the adb fire program where it asks if the firmware you want to install is located on a usb storage. Everytime I try to use this feature it can't find the drive or it finds the drive but does not see the firmware I have on it and again I have to transfer it to the unit.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'd be interested in knowing more about your issue with adbFire not finding a drive. This is the first report I've seen of that. Regarding firmware installs...From adbFire's Help system:
Install AFTV firmware
Install firmware to AFTV. Upgrade (or downgrade) your AFTV firmware. This works for firmware on a mounted USB drive/stick and for firmware on your PC. When updating firmware from USB storage, adbFire looks on all devices for files with an extension of ".bin" or ".zip" and presents them for your choice.
Installing firmware from a usb stick/drive is nearly twice as fast as installing a firmware file located on your PC or LAN.
Please note that installation of firmware via Amazon's Native Recovery (this method) has been effectively obsoleted with the availibility of ClockworkMod, compiled for the Fire TV by [email protected]
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to install custom Clockwork Mod firmware via Amazon Native Recovery. It will not work!

Yes I have tried both .zip and .bin but had no luck. The farthest I have gotten is I mount the drives via adbfirm and it will recognize a drive then tell me there is no firmware on the drive. Could it be the brand of usb stick I am using or does it need to be a powered usb?

If the drive is mounted, the linux find command should locate any *.bin or *.zip files, your brand or hub won't have any effect. I'm mainly replying to let you know I've read your post -- I won't have access to my rooted ftv until Monday morning at the earliest. It would also be helpful to see a log captured after you attempt to find firmware on your mounted drive. You should see something in the log like this:
searching usb for files
"./adb" shell su -c find /storage/usb -name *.bin -o -name *.zip

If the drive is mounted, the linux find command should locate any *.bin or *.zip files, your brand or hub won't have any effect. I'm mainly replying to let you know I've read your post -- I won't have access to my rooted ftv until Monday morning at the earliest. It would also be helpful to see a log captured after you attempt to find firmware on your mounted drive. You should see something in the log like this:

How would I go about capturing a log for you. Also just curious about my first question I wasn't sure is it possible to read a mounted usb in the custom recovery menu or must the fire tv be fully booted.
Also.. not sure if this helps but when I mount the usb stick using stick mount on the fire tv it does not give me the error of nothing found but the select firmware menu comes up and this is the only choice I have available "sh: find: not found"

None of my comments apply when booted to a custom recovery, you need to check with rbox for that.
adbFire logs are found using the File-View Log menu command. The various non-Kodi commands also require my busybox and the various support scripts, aka System Tools; I don't support busybox from other sources. I also ask that you be using the current version of adbFire when seeking support, currently 1.22.

The find command is missing. Install System Tools. This will install busybox as mentioned above, which will give you find.
The Install Firmware command should check for System Tools and warn you if they are missing. That will be fixed in the next update.

I installed system tools about 3 times as I am on the latest rooted firmware. But I just tried again and now and still no luck this is the log I get now.

I just noticed you're not using adbFire to mount your drive; I can't support stickmount, sorry. If you can change your mount location to be under /storage/usb it might work, idk. I know it does work with System Tools installed and adbFire mounting the usb drives.
I used adb Fire to mount my drive originally and it gives me the message that no firmwares are on the drive. Here is a log of me mounting in adb fire succesfully but then it unable to find the file.

Sorry, I can't duplicate your error on a clean system, with System Tools installed , multiple drives mounted with firmware sitting on each, just for purposes of testing. All firmwares were found, every time. The find command is pretty straightforward.
You may have some weird edge case I've overlooked in code, but I'd need to see a log from a clean system w/o third-party busybox, mount tools, etc. If we can spotlight a bug, I'd be happy to fix it.

I tried this when i first unboxed the unit and was unable to get it to read anything could it be the way I have the usb stick formatted or the way the zip file is named?

adbFire drive mount supports vfat,ex-fat,ext2-4,hpfs+ and ntfs. Install Firmware will find files with embedded spaces ,e.g. "test file.zip" or "test file.bin" but not "test file zip" or "test file bin".

my stick is a fat32 and the files is named update.zip so it should work?... The weird thing is it seems to get farther when I mount it using stick mount (it brings up a menu) then it does when I mount in adb fire although I have yet to get either method to work. I am gonna restore one a little later and do everything from adbfire and see if I can get you a log or mabye it will work.
Ok so I started from scratch and I am having the same issue here is the log.. I notice it saying the mount is busy I am not sure what that means.... I also installed es file explorer and I do not see the mounted usb storage anywhere on the sdcard even after it says it has mounted succesfully.
