The attached zip file has 2 exe files in it. Just unzip it and copy both files to your device. It's pretty obvious from the name what each of the files does, but you need to restart your device for the changes to take effect. (Please note - this will only turn off the default windows lockscreen. If you've got a different one installed this will not affect it.)
Basically, run lockscreen_disable and restart your device. You can run lockscreen_enable at a later date if you ever need to turn the lockscreen back on.
Hope it helps mate

You can either unzip the 2 files (both exe files) and copy them to your phone, or copy the zip file to the phone and unzip it there. Either way doesn't matter.
Once unzipped, you click the exe file of your choice and it runs, but you won't see anything change till you restart your phone.
I really threw them together quickly, which is why they're so basic, but they should do the trick though

Thanks John. I've been looking for ways to disable my Exchange email policy lockscreen.
Nothing I've seen and tried works so far.
Will your exe files work to disable/enable this Lockscreen?
Cheers

Nope, doesn't stop my lockscreen from timing in. Oh well, the hunt continues....

Will Pay: AOSP Dialer - Installing Contacts.apk to work with Sense

UPDATE: I'll pay someone to create an update/patch that works with Fresh's newest rom.
I want to use the AOSP dialer as the default dialer in android. I already know that the HTC dialer cannot be uninstalled. Tried ADB push and file manager install. ADB push will push the file to the system/app folder but the file itself will not install. File manager will not let it install either.
I've attached the file below.
Any suggestions?

with sense contacts and the dialer are one and the same. that apk won't do anything for you, wait for an aosp build

Don't want an AOSP build, I like sense, I just don't like the dialer. I believe you can run both dialers at the same time with Sense. Check this post:

There are so many changes made to that rom I don't think you can just install aosp contacts/dialer without a lot of work(i've tried :/)

Try this

If anyone wants some coin please read the first post.

I would like this as well but for the Warm 2.2 ROM. I'll make a payment too

How do you like the AOSP dialer more than the Sense one? Smart dial is awesome and you can't do that with AOSP. Plus, the AOSP dialer is just plain ugly, it looks like google made just to be able to say "hey, we tossed a dialer in there too". I know different strokes for different folks but this I just don't get.

If you will swap AOSP/Sense and Google/HTC I will agree with you. ;-)
If I recall correctly, the default way in Sense to search for contacts names is using a numeric keyboard.

Install AOSP, Dialer, Browser, Contacts, and OR Calendar.
Try go Contacts, I love it but if you really want the AOSP read bellow:
Find the AOSP apps from a CM6 build by unzipping and pulling the .apk file like browser.apk. Install "File Expert" (Free and amazing file browser with full root access and alteration capabilities application)
Copy the .apk you wish to have on to your phones SD Card
Run File Expert,
hit menu/more/File Explorer settings. Then check "Root Explorer" on the bottom.
hit menu/more/mount/Mount As Read Write
Browse to /System/Apps Find the App you wish to replace with the AOSP version.
Hold Down on the App and when the options come up choose file operations and rename to something like application name.apk.bak
Browse to your SD Card find your app. hold down to choose file operation then choose copy.
Go back to /System/Apps then hit Menu button and choose paste.
Locate the app you just pasted and hold down on it and in file operations choose "permissions" Check Everything and exit out of File Expert
Note: You may need to redo the shortcuts for the app on your desktop and or launcher.
Note: Must have a rooted phone.
Note: 2.3.3 apps may or may not work on 2.2 Android Roms and vice versa.
Note: if this causes errors or failures delete the new apk and rename the old apk to its original name.
Good luck!!

[Mod] Stock android lockscreen *now with no menu unlock option*

All credit goes to Ateisti in the I9000 forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779803
Attached is my resulting android.policy.odex file from I897UCJH3. I would recommend verifying the signature from your android.policy.odex file before attempting to apply the mod to your phone. If you're feeling brave, you can simply replace, after making a backup, your /system/framework/android.policy.odex file with the attached one.
Standard disclaimers apply. I am not responsible for what you do with this information and highly recommend a backup before attempting. I had to return to stock after an oversight so be careful and understand what you are doing before you act. I haven't modified framework-res.apk so my menu button also unlocks.
Added a version that does not allow the menu button to unlock.
The at&t screen on first boot after the change took quite a while on my phone.
Apparently my above warnings were not clear enough. This is not, and never was intended, as a drop in mod. You should read the linked i9000 thread and understand what you are doing before attempting to apply this to your phone. If you're not running JH3, you have a very high chance of getting stuck on the AT&T splash screen. Even if you are on JH3, you could still get stuck if your signature for the odex file is different than mine.
If you want a 100% guaranteed working mod, you must follow the linked post. The attached files are only for risk takers that don't mind flashing back to stock or restoring from backup.

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the info.

How Do I Go About Putting This On My Phone?? I'm Kind Of A Newb..Do I Do It As A Update.zip File??

It's right there in the OP. Make a copy of the file mentioned and replace the old file with the one in his .zip manually. I used root explorer but I am sure Astro would work just as well. Reboot and ??? Profit.

Worked like a charm here. Used Root Explorer and POW Glass is shattered.
Any chance this would work on a Vibrant?

All bets are off on using my file, but if you follow the instructions in the I9000 thread, you should be able to generate a file for the vibrant.

Yeah I was reading into that, it looks like it shouldn't bee TOO hard since others have blazed the path.
Thanks!

Thank you so much! I saw that thread on the i9000 forums but didn't really know how to port it. Just replaced the odex on JH7, and it worked perfectly

Just an FYI. Didn't seem to do anything on Eugene373's Hybrid R3. There was no existing android.policy.odex in system/framework, and putting the new file in there made no change. There is an android.policy.jar in system/framework, so I tried renaming it to .old but that just made it hang on ATT boot screen.
Just my 2 cents.

Thank you very much, iv been wanting this lock screen for so long. i even resorted in using lock bot pro, but that laged so much. i install and everything is working great!
Oh an i have to say it again, Thank you! i dont have the puzzle pieces any more. i know some like that feat. but i for one did not

You're right, not too hard, just have to follow the steps. I made a copy of the entire system/framework folder to my internal sdcard and the copied it to my laptop for editing. When running dexopt-wrapper I just used an adb shell.

I'm just guessing, but I'd say that Eugene's rom is deodexed. There is discussion about applying the fix to deodexed roms in the original thread.

No music controls on lock screen ?
I just put this on my phone - pretty neat. However, when playing a song, the old lock screen had a nifty music control, where you had access to the music controls (play/pause, next, prev, etc) without having to unlock the phone. I don't see that on this, and it was a pretty convenient feature. Maybe I have to also replace the music player with the Android stock music player to get this?
I'll be putting the original stock lock screen back on. I also like how Samsung's music player shows these controls in the notification bar.

Can Someone Help Me...When I Use Astro It Says "File Type Odex Not Found"....Am I Doin Something Wrong??

gah, why do people not understand that if you remove a part of touchwiz, you're going to lose some of touchwiz's functionality.
the music control was a part of touchwiz and samsung's music player and never existed for stock android. I'm not saying I prefer to NOT have it, but if you remove a core component, you're going to lose added functionality. if you want to keep touchwiz stuff like puzzle lock and music controls, then you're simply going to have to keep touchwiz. much like how you can't use samsung's widgets without using TwLauncher or why we can't use Sense widgets without running Sense

Does anybody have the ability to upload these files to somewhere else? Trying to do all of this from my phone but when my phone downloads the zips they are only like 47kb and corrupted. Only seems to happen though when i download straight from my phone. Other than that great work, can't wait to try this out. Tired of the lockscreen the cappy comes with.

I got the file on my sd card but everytime I try to move it via Astro it loses the copy when going into the root folders???

You could always download terminal emulator.
open it and type,
su
cp /system/framework/android.policy.odex /sdcard/android.policy.odex.ORIG
cp /sdcard/android.policy.odex /system/framework
reboot
that should work.
Or if you have access to your computer and usb cable plug in and do the same thing with ADB.
adb shell
then the same commands above.

[Q] Extract single application from custom rom

hey,
I wanted to extract "Torch" application from "Azure" Rom and few other applications. as Torch is the only working app which did really enable the LED for HTC Legend.
I actually opened the ZIP package to path \azure-1.0.1.zip\system\app where the applications are stored, every app comes in APK and OBEX files. I extracted few APKS, non of them worked.
I am seeking some help for extracting the application from the ROM.
Thanks in advance!

Try Extended Controls, there is a Torch Widget which worked on my HTC Legend. (NOTE:Root access Required For this very Widget)

If you find a ROM that has both .apx and .odex in the app-folder you will not get it to work by only extracting the .apk file.. You need both of the files in order to include them in another ROM..

Use a backup program like Titanium backup or MyBackup pro: they will extract for you.

That makes sense...but who would I merge the .apk and .obex together to be in one .apk file so I can install it?
Or maybe you know some way I can install these files?

You mean like after loading the custom ROM, I backup the application I want then restore them after I load the custom I want?!
This is just long process of backing up your data then load custom rom, then back to the old rom, then root then restore...
I thought there might be easier and shorter ways?!
Any help would be appreciated. Gracias!

To be honest you've answered your own question. What you've done is the easiest way to pull an app from a ROM. So if your issue is something else it may be an idea to re-write your question (again, I know. Sorry).
I also apologise for mis-interpreting your question the first time 'round. I hope my help in this post is better.

Your help so much appreciated mate!
Well, the last conclusion I got to is, the .apk and .obex files are actually one file but they were divided to 2 files just to make them work better, so if you take the .apk file only it wont work as it will be missing the other .obex file.
Anyway, I am also guessing there is a way to merge the 2 files back, I read a little about "de-odex" but I couldnt really get the best help I could get. I will post the solution once I get to it.
Thanks again for your help mate!

U can download a rom like iced glacier, and you'll need root explorer. extract the the zip. The apk is in system system/ apps. The lib is in the lib folder, although i don't know the name of it. What i do is use search when in the system folder, search swype. The two will show. Then you'll have to put those on the same folders on your system

As the post suggests, put your Swype files in the same folder as ADB and you should be fine. Note that you will have to go to Settings > Language & keyboard, and manually enable Swype since it's disabled by default.

I do believe you can use AndroidMate from the market.

ok, so apparently I don't know what I'm doing lol.
Sorry if this appears totally n00bish but thats what I am.
If I extract the .apk and the libswypecore.so from another Rom and place them into their respective folders on the Rom I'd like to use, (ex. placing swype.apk into the "app" folder on cm7) and then flash the Rom and start from scratch, shouldn't that work?
I actually tried it and it didn't. Am i missing something? I was hoping the answer was that obvious but it failed. Swype shows up but i get "swype package you installed is configured for another device" message and it continues to only function as a regular keyboard.
I'd prefer to avoid going through the CMD prompt on my computer again because without super detailed instructions, I really don't know how to go about doing it. So if anyone, anywhere can help me out it would be super appreciated. I checked the forums and I keep getting lost in the words.
(perhaps shouldn't have rooted my phone if I can't make it that far huh? but we all have to start somewhere I suppose)
Forgive me for making this so long winded but the more details i give up front the less back and forth messages that wing clog up forums.
