How can I get the droid lock screen? The 2 locks that come with the desire are horrible. And I have always loved the look of the droid lock. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks.
You mean the rotating Lock?

I cant post links for some reason, but the one i'm talking about is the one with the unlock slide on the left, and volume on the right.
but the rotating one isnt bad either
Oh! It's very easy to get that. Either, you open the .zip file of the Rom before flashing and delete the HtcLockScreen.apk in system/app and flash the Rom then or you adb pull the HtcLockScreen.apk, so that it isn't on the phone anymore (but you have to do this in Recovery mode and you have to have /system mounted).

I do not know if such a widget is possible, but some of us ROM junkies have thumbs that are not suited for multiple uses of home and end keys. A widget to reboot to recovery would be awesome!
Quick boot from the market.. Its not a widget, but its an app that will allow you to reboot and got to recovery in one click.

If you use quickboot, you can paste shortcuts to reboot, recovery, and bootloader that are little 1-click-to-reboot gifts from the gods!

Its one of the first things I install on any new rooted rom. At least Reboot and Recovery, anyway... I have (as of yet) had no reason to access the bootloader.
Does anyone know if you can install the Evo stock keyboard onto the desire. Not only does it have arrows but also has voice to text icon on it. Would save me time from flipping between two different keyboards.

Well. doesn't Htc_ime_mod do everything you want it to. (I know there are no arrows. But voice to text and swipe to change keyboard.)
I tried but got stuck while deodexing it... Maybe some other time. Still Android n00b although hold few degrees in cs.
Don't have that keyboard. I'll look for it. Thanks

Here it is, deodexed and signed. I tried to install it via adb but failed bacause it says it is aleady present (obviously...). Perhaps it can be pushed via recovery? I tried to look into the matter but because of app2sd the situation of my phone appears to be rather chaotic and i didn't want to mess up...another way (drastic) could be to repack a rom with it...any suggestions?

I ran a search, and couldn't find the answers to these questions. I just rooted my MT4G using the Visionary+ method as described on theunlockr.com, and went about removing a bunch of crapware like asphalt, rockband, etc. using Root Explorer
The two things I still want to 86 are "My Account" and the HTC Slide to Unlock screen. I can't find the .APK for My Account, and I am not entirely sure if it's safe to remove the slide to unlock (I did find the .APK for that, tho).
Anyone have any ideas?

The apk for myaccount is selfhelp.apk and lock screen is HTC.lockscreen
Too answer your lockscreen? I wound up delete it all the way even with it froze and nothing selected in settings I still had 2 lock screams not sure why but once I wiped data and deleted it in titanium pro just have one now but still not sure how to get stock one back if I ever need it so don't blame me if you wind up screwed just telling you what I did

Thanks, Lakeshow! the My Account thing was killing me...
I did take the plunge and moved HTC lockscreen to the /sdcard, but now I have what I am guessing is the default froyo slide to unlock screen? It has two sliders now instead of one, with the one on the left being to unlock and the one on the right switches the ringer off. I think it might be kind of broken, tho... my homescreen is 100% visible, I just have the "new" unlock screen right on top of it
Kaufmanj67 or anyone else... if you could maybe walk me through how to remove this new unlock screen as well, so I go right to pattern unlock, I would be doubly grateful
I use a free app in the market called "no lock", no root necessary. When you reboot the phone the lock screen will reappear for a few seconds before the app auto starts and then it's gone until another reboot.

Thanks for the referral on No-Lock, Chad... but that's not quite what I was looking for, that even bypasses my pattern lock.
Anyone know how to remove the borked slide-lock screen I get and go right to pattern lock? If this helps, I am still on stock ROM.

you have to move/rename/freeze the HTC Sense Lock screen if you are wanting to use the AOSP lock screen. There is a thread on it here someone on XDA, i'll have to dig and find it.
here it is : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849946
or... http://tinyurl.com/6c4tkk5
Thanks for the link, Neidlinger. I didn't find that thread since I wasn't searching for AOSP... but unfortunately, that's not what I want. Ideally, I want to go immediately to pattern lock after waking the phone up.
Oh well, Now I need to figure out how to undo this [email protected]*k. I put the HTCSlideLock .APK and .odex files back in /system/app and I am getting the AOSP slidelock still. I went into ROM manager and tried to "fix permissions" and that didn't work. Anyone have any other ideas?

I'm not exactly seeing what you are asking for. You are wanting to go to a live screen after pressing the "unlock button"? Or are you wanting a Pattern style lock?

i believe all you have to do is flash the .zip file that is found on that thread i point out to you. It's in the top post.

Cool it's really simple then.
Download that .zip file from the other forum, and store it onto the Root of the SD card.
Go into your market place and download ClockworkROM Manager. after it is installed open the interface and at the VERY top it will say "Flash ClockWork Recovery". Flash the Recovery image and it says success, do it again for good measures. . After it tells you success again. scroll down a little bit and select "boot into recovery".
once you do that select "install .zip from sdcard" then "choose .zip from sdcard". then select that file [the one you downloaded]. and it will flash it. After it says it's completed. Select Reboot System Now and it will go back to OE fashions.

Sounds easy enough, I think that just leaves me 2 questions...
1) will that mess up my ability to do a "factory reset" if I want to go back to 100% stock?
2) do I need the paid version of Rom Manager, or will the free one work?

The Free variant will work just fine. that's all i've ever used.
the recovery image will stick after you do a "factory reset". you will need to flash the stock image. Which is a little bit more entailed but not impossible. TheUnlockr has a GREAT walk through on how to go back to 100% stock. The Unlockr's Method for 100% stock set up.
IF you are wanting to keep s=off, and flash the stock recovery image you can do that via TheUnlockr's method. Just download the recovery image and flash just that as per their instructions.
or you can there is a way posted here on the XDA forums for a 100% stock setup... XDA's Method for 100% stock set up
that did the trick. Thanks for your help!

I see what you want but I have announced idea how to do it as far as I know there I'd no way to just have a pattern lock maybe a developer could help us out here cause that would be cool as for the foryo lock stuck thing mine did the same thing but a fix permission fixed it

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, because its a request not a question... sorry if its not.
I need the stock splash screen for mytouch 4g. I changed it to the nexus s Google splash screen when I switched to cm7. I need to unroot it to use the insurance for a replacement. My power button stopped working and the micro-usb port only charges occasionally now. Any help with this would be awesome. I tried searching but I have to from my phone at the moment and that makes it pretty difficult to sift through countless xda pages. Lol.

Look in the theme section, there's multiple threads on splash screens. I'm pretty sure, one of them had the stock one.
From my fist to your face, enjoy.
Go to the theme thread in the 4g section. If not, unroot. U should have the stock splash screen.

Even if he unroots, it'll still be what ever he changed it to. You can flash roms left an right, but that'll still always be the same. The location of the splash screen file is different then where we have our roms located.

I backed up everything from when I first flashed a new rom, including the splash.
Here's a link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YE603C62
Here's how to change it though you should already know:
Here is how to flash a new splash screen image to your phone using Terminal emulator.
Please keep in mind that as with any mod you can damage your phone beyond repair if done incorrectly.
1. Rename your 480x800 image file to (custom.img) and move it to your sdcard.
2.Open Terminal Emulator and type "su" to get a #
3.Then type this exactly as it appears and hit enter. Make sure not to make any mistakes!!!
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19
It should show you that the file has transfered. You can now back out of terminal emulator and reboot
your phone to see the new splash screen.

Thank you. I downloaded and unrared the file. But I can't seem to get it with terminal emulator. I typed the commands exactly, and even tried modifying them as my phone shows /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmcblk0op19
Any ideas?
#AngelFace#
Before there's a need to ask. I unrared it and put the custom.img in the root folder of my sdcard.

I had a question meanwhile so I am able to better protect my nexus 4. I had ceberus installed on my galaxy nexus, but really for anyone that has half a brain he would just flash the phone back from the boot menu. Is there a way to protect your phone from being flashed if stolen? Can you put a pass to even get into the boot menu? :crying:

If you install cerberus via CWM (a system apk) it can survive a factory reset... And people who are about to steal your phone have no idea what CWM is... so you it should work!
Edit: I actually remove my CWM entirely and go back to stock recovery. Makes it even harder for them to get at it.

It sucks that you lost your GNex.
If you are lucky enough you can still find it and recover it using AndroidLost:good:.
Its on the Play App store. This app can locate your phone, and take pictures of who ever is holding it and/or using it. You can lock your phone with it but any android power user can flash your phone from the boot menu. The idea is to get to your phone before anyone attempts to flash it in the first place, by locating it in 2 minutes using AndroidLost or any respectable Find My Device kind of apps. Worse case it will delete everything on your phone if you cannot locate it, as to keep preying eyes away from your data.
www.AndroidLost.com
Let me know if you need help with the App, I use it daily for almost a year now.

No...All you need to do is copy the cerberus.apk to the system/app folder. OTA don't uninstall the app. If you are concerned, after an OTA update, check the folder and see if the cerberus apk is there. If it is, you are good to go, if not, just copy it back.
Id recommend downloading hidden version of Cerberus .... Found on their webpage
