I an using the same build as you. Here comes a stupid question - do I just drop this in the Android folder? I have never had to install anything in android yet

Put the .apk on your SDcard and use Astro or something simular to launch it.
Depending on the build you may also have to select in phone options to allow non marketplace apps to install.

Delete HTCLockscreen.apk from /system/app and then reset
Hmm, I can't get this to work on FroyoStone.
When I open the .apk file it tells me it's already installed, even though I don't have the 3D launcher, and it gives me the option to uninstall. I even tried uninstalling the old package, rebooting and reinstalling the file found here... everything looks the same.

Oh, really?
I thought this was the 3D launcher like you see in Nexus One. You know, the one where the bottom of the list fades away in a 3D manner.
The one on FroyoStone doesn't seem 3D at all, it's just a grid of icons on a black background.

deleting the file would give you trouble turning off your alarm. only a shutdown would turn off the alarm. do you have to do something else for this to be solved?

never mind, found the solution on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-754938.html

Its built into the core of the Android system as far as I know. its not an individual program .apk that can be installed or pushed.
I'm not so much concerned with the Launcher as the Lockscreen I really want that and maybe if it was clear that would be dope too but mainly just the 2.1 lockscreen

I don't know which one it is, but the GoogleBits v1.9 for AOSP has the lockscreen in there, don't know which apk it is, but it's in there, I pushed it on an vanillia aosp 2.1 that didn't have a lockscreen once i did, it showed up.
and look around for launcher2.apk which is the nexus one's "home"
sorry don't have time to find them both and link them, but they're in darch's thread somewhere. hopefully that points you guys in the right direction
EDIT: oh forgot, after you push the google bits, remove the htc one and it will revert to the google lockscreen, but only after you push the google one *this is important*
EDIT2: oh agian... do a nandroid backup first
I remember that now I did have that lockscreen when I used that rom but it lacked too many things I needed so I went back to Fresh 1. maybe Noj can chime in on this and lend a hand or does anyone else know how I can get that lockscreen

it's really only a issue if your using lwp with it, try the other launcher with lwp
is there a way we can get 5 home screens and use lwp? if you push and use launcher2.apk to the phone and use that for your homescreen, lwp screws up your phone. at the same time, using the regular launcher only gives 3 screens... =/
Is there any way to easily lose the Sense interface, and get my interface looking like the nexus one?
I found several apps to free your home and stuff but i'm looking for something easy like the HTC Hero (i was able to just disable sense here).
yes
watch this:
http ://www .youtube .com/watch?v=MV_zJREAzso
yep, that's the right thing that you have to do
I've read that you can't do that on the later releases...but I'm not 100% on this.
There's always Helix Launcher in the market.

3. Force close it, and Clear defaults.
4. Now press home, and select stock home application.

you have to download launcher2.apk ! read details

Why would you want to? Sense is one of the factors that makes the Desire better than the Nexus.

Yep indeed amazing isn't it
I've installed Launcher2.apk and despite all the posts to the contrary it works fine on my HTC Desire with the latest firmware.
I must say the app menu is a bit slower (certainly not linear) on Launcher2 compared to Sense UI or Rosie or whatever. But I prefer it to Helix as it's slightly more polished. Things just look a bit off when using Helix.
Used it for a day then went back to Sense. Simple operation using the Application Manager and clearing the defaults but Home Launcher works just as well for this if you're particularly fickle.
Hey quick question, I really dislike the EVO Sense lockscreen, I'd much rather have the 2.1 lockscreen style, Flan I think. How would I go about removing it?
Thanks!
Turn off Sense and it is gone.
Remove htclockscreen.apk and .odex or rename them and you should get stock while keeping the other sense goodness.
I turned of Sense and it stayed the original Sense lockscreen.
After you turned off Sense, it should have asked you what home screen you wanted...Sense or Launcher. I just tried it on my phone and it worked fine.

Same problem, the sense lock stayed with a disable. I want to keep sense but I dislike the Locker, I tried using terminal with the Unrevoked root and I can't seem to access the APN? It says access denied or something.
Downloaded RootExplorer and mounted Read and Write operations and changed the name of the two files, Rebooting now. Lets see if that worked.
That didn't work, the file comes right back when I reboot.
I would like to now how to do this too. I am using ADW launcher and the Sense lock screen is still there.
Try no lock in the Market. Also lets you use the volume rocker to come out of standby.

We don't have /system rw in android yet. That is why its not working.
You have to boot to recovery (nandroid screen), mount, and change through adb.

Thank you! Just what I was looking for although it would also be nice to be able to double tap one of the for cap buttons to wake up the Evo.
EDIT: Oh it seemed just about perfect and then I figured out that it also turns off the screen lock for incoming calls which is no good for me.
removing htclockscreen.apk and odex does bring up the android lockscreen however, the graphics are off, just like the hero was.
Well damn I've tried 3 different computers and I cannot get ADB to detect my phone correctly so that I can work around and delete the stuff. Is there a guide I can follow exactly to the tee for the Evo 4g
I saw a app on the market to remove the sense screen. Can't remember what its called tho.

I have though, the drivers I try to use will not install when I go to device manager, and I've tried stopping windows from installing automaticly to use the drivers from the SDK.
Lockbot Pro. Best app there is. Built in editor to make your own or browse the gallery and download.
I just made an X10 Themed lockscreen. I'm happy.
What is the Code I need to put in? I'm on the green nandroid screen

Someone tried to tell me this before but no, it's not. It's completely removed as an option. The wallpapers are still on the phone somewhere though because after installing, it loaded up the green grass wallpaper I was using from the Android Wallpapers so I know they didn't delete them.

Not the first time Engadget's been wrong.
Engadget isn't completely wrong because mine and some others are also merged into the HTC wallpaper directory. However there are others I also know..and theirs are gone too. I did a hard reset on mine last night so I would have a clean upgrade tho.
no Launcher
Mine did the same, no Android wallpapers. More annoyingly however, is that I can't get rid of Sense anymore. Sense was disabled and I was running Launcher when I updated this morning. It booted back up with Sense and now I can't figure out how to disable Sense again if it is at all possible.

That works - I'm using LauncherPro and didn't even need to get Home Switcher - but we shouldn't have to download other launchers when the stock Launcher was available. I just don't understand why they felt the need to delete these harmless traces of stock Android, especially the wallpapers. What i the world was their logic in that?
Anyone know where these wallpapers were located at in the file system? I will try to extract mine and upload them up for others.
Thanks, running ADW.
Weird...Yesterday, I updated to DC 2.2.2.1 w/OTA then updated radio & WiMax. Once i got everything running, the first thing i did was check wallpapers and the Android Wallpapers were gone. I checked today and they're back
Kept the one I was using prior to the update, can't remember if there were any other good ones. Saw the post on page 1, gonna hunt em down.

hi guys
ive been using android with sense for a long time, i installed home++ this week and all is good.
is it possible thought to run android without any type of launcher such as sense or home++? if so how do I do it? I've tried clearing defaults but it just gives me the same choice as before either sense or home++.
sorry if this is an incredibly stupidly question!

Download Home Switcher from the Market ! Hopefully that will help !
To be pedantic, you need a Launcher for your phone to work, but one is built into eclair for you.
Uninstalling Rosie is the permanent method, but I advise the market app that switches home application.
