Now thats not nice is it?
Sometimes you do have to wait for an answer.please dont expect it straight away. Anyways, i dont know the exact answer but i'll make suggestion. Try to delete it straight away after a soft reset. see if that works. Also,try to delete it using a file explorer like resco or total cammander.
Let us know how u get on
this is so frustrating...first i cant put my music on my phone (still can't) and know i cant delete some simple ****t off of my phone using file explorer wtf...im getting a cliq grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ok. Using resco file explorer,navigate to windows/startmenu/programmes(ensure u set resco to find/view all files)& delete the icon for the game.(assuming it is in your start menu) oh, if its in your game folder,then navigate to that folder and then delete it.

Hi.
Does anyone know how to access them so you're not having to create new folders on the SD?
Could you be any more clear?

Don't really understand your question but if you are after the locations of the default wallpapers and ringtones then you can find them here:
ringtones: /system/media
wallpapers: you will have to unpack the /system/app/Launcher.apk, wallpapers are inside the res/drawable-240dpi

Hi.
There are default wallpapers on the phone, so I would like to put any new ones in the same folder which isn't on the sd card, and I've found the "notification" folder on the sd card but the default tones aren't in there, so I'm guessing I need to access the phone memory to make any changes.
This is my first Android phone so I'm finding my way around just now.

Ok, I think I understand you better now. So, like I said, the location for the ringtones is what I already mentioned. Since this is the system partition, you will need root access and remount the /system partition into read/write mode in order to be able to add files to the directory.
For the wallpapers, this was just a quick check, but like I said, the Launcher.apk has the wallpapers bundled within it. You can easily rip it, take it apart using apktool and add or replace the default wallpapers.
IMHO though, it is lot simpler to add a new folder on the SD card and use applications like ASTRO or handcent sms to set ringtones/wallpapers for you.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing as the ringtones in my notification folder couldn't be selected as ringtones i.e they didn't even show up, but did show up for messaging, so I created a new folder "Ringtones" on the SD, bobbed a few files in there and now they show up as selectable tones.
Thanks for the advice though.
Why I am going to lose guarantee when i root phone ?

Because you're changing the software on the phone, so if you have any problems it will be your fault in the eyes of the Operator/SE.
But how do they know that I have rooted phone ?

lol they wont know a thing until you take your rooted phone to the service centre for repair but before you do so you can roll back to original firmware and they wont notice a thing..

I would assume it's from whatever diagnostics they would run to diagnose any issues you claim to be having.
Maybe, but i won't risk and root it, maybe will something go wrong and then....
first of all much thanks for all the awesome work.im a super nube,i didnt even anything like this forum existed until a couple of weeks ago.im trying to install the fix for changing the color of ALL the text in cookies home tab.the fix said to extract the manilla file to \windows(overwrite existing file) and restart sence.i get to the part where i have extracted the manila file but i dont know what to do next.i cant find a \windows option.i appreciate any input and sorry if my nubeness is causing me to miss something obvious.i have a new tmobile hd2.
use a file explorer to copy the file into the \Windows folder.
thanks for the input mastajest but i still cant figure it out.the extracted file is in my documents i long click it and my options are-send via bluetooth,cut,copy ,rename,delete,and send-i choose copy and it goes back to my documents.i back out of my documents and long click windows folder and i get the same options when i long click the extracted file.im not sure what to do next.

When you're looking in the folder you want it to end up in, hit the menu button in the bottom right, then "edit", then "paste"
thanks sirphunkee i got it in the windows folder but it didnt fix the tex color issue im gonna go back to the fix post and read it carefully to make sure i did everything right.thanks again.
i read the fix instructions again and i think im suposed to actually find the specific file and replace it with the fix file but since i have no idea what that file is i think im stuck.thanks again for the awesome forums and all the help.

joe, can you point me to the thread you're talking about? I'll go check it out and see if I can get you through the steps.
its in the 1st post of the cookies home tab thread you scroll down and there is a part that says known issues and its the fix correcting the text color issue(when you change the text color but not all the text color on the home screen changes to the color you want).i wish i knew how to post a link so you dont have to waste your time searching.im pretty new to all this but learning.i think if i knew the specific file in the windows folder that im suposed to replace with the fix file it would work but there is like a kabillion files in the folder.much thanks for all your help.

Ok, it's simpler than you think lol. That file (5DED22E8_manila) inside the zip you downloaded just needs to be copied to the windows folder...if you do that correctly, you should get a prompt asking if you want to overwrite an existing file, click yes, and then soft-reset.
awesome!that did it.it didnt work at first but that was because i renamed the file to something more recognizable.i deleted it and copy the original file without renaming it and it worked just like you said.thanks for all the help.

No problem, glad it worked!
I should (have) give you fair warning too...be very careful when tinkering with your manila files like this, they're the crucial elements of your Sense interface. I would strongly recommend you make a backup copy of every "manila_" file in your \windows directory, it could save you a hard reset someday if any of them get corrupted along the way
Using Darkstones FroyoStone build, but I really dont like the lock screen slider, it just visually clashes with every wallpaper imo. I would much prefer to use the default Froyo one or HTC hero one. I have only found 2 apps capable of this, lockbot and widgetlocker. Lockbot has terrible reviews and doesnt seem to work well at all (i tried it), and widgetlocker is payware.
Seems like changing the lockscreen should be easy enough, if not a basic system default option. Does anyone know how to do it?

Make a backup of anyfiles before you edit them!
I used astro file explorer, but just use whatever file explorer you like best. Go to /system/app and find the file called "HtcLockScreen.apk" make a copy of it and put it somewhere safe, then delete the original and bam there you go. I just restarted android when done, and when it comes back on you should have the stock froyo lockscreen.

Does that mean I could dump the 2.1 lockscreen.apk in and have that one instead, I don't like the 2.2 one much.

I have not personally tried to but I would assume that you could, just make sure you copy the original .apk file and try it out.
Any idea where I could get a copy of an older apk for a lockscreen?

Find one of the old 2.1 builds in the forum, load it up and copy the htclockscreen.apk to your computer or sd card. Load up your current build of android and place it in the system/app folder.
anyone with thedesire HD or a "normal" sense rom can post the htclockscreen.apk??? PLZ!!!

I used the tip and it is working perfectly. Thank you, easy and effective
Eevn if this brings back the Stock Froyo lockscreen, if your phone is locked and you have a incoming call, again you will see the HTC answer screen (htc lock screen for answering). How can we remove this and get the Froyo style?

That would probably require the replacement of phone.apk and possible even dial.apk

Hello, for some reason when I press on the folder it doesn't show any of my files, only a transparent white window. Any advice?
I'm using a SD card.
bumping this thread
Can you be a little clearer? What folder, and where is it? Is this through a file explorer, or a folder on your home page?
Just give us more to go on

I don't know how to acces the media on my SD.
Pressing on folder shows a white transparent window.
What application are you trying to access it with? Talk me through from the beginning so I can see if I can help.

I have no idea, I just need to find the media that are on my SD.
Windows mobile had file explorer, does the latest NAND have it?
I've got no idea how to access it..
There are plenty of file explorers available from the market. You just need to search on there.
I personally use Root Explorer as it allows you to modify/copy/paste system files.
The folder you are probably trying to access is simply a virtual folder you have created on your android desktop. To use it you need to drag icons to it to organise stuff into groups etc.
What you should be doing to access your SD card is using an actual file explorer/manager app like the one described above. I personally use ASTRO File Manager though.
PS. Next time you ask for help please be more descriptive of your issue/problem.
