So i recently. Flashed super dark for djo5. But it did not give me the also lockscreen. I tried to download it from blackbole in rom manager and installed it but still nothing. I have wiped the data and caches on both these installs. Any ideas?

Use root explorer and go to data > local. Delete the file that says enable_glass_lock. If you ever want to restore puzzle/glass lock, go back to data > local and create a FILE (not folder) named enable_glass_lock. This is the easiest way to do this
Thank you very much!

I see my system notifications are stored in /system/media/notifications but even with root Im not able to drop a new file withing this directory. I would like to do this because Handcent doesnt give me the option to select a different directory.
Any suggestions on either dropping a new sound file in the /system/media dir or using a custom sound file for Handcent?
Thanks
You should be able to put something in /sdcard/media/notifications
You have to mount system with root explorer, ADB, etc. It's read only by default.

I've tried a root file manager without success. Is it possible to change the directory permissions using ADB?

If you use root explorer, there is a little button in the upper right that toggles read write permissions.
Sweet
For the next person, I can confirm this does work, you just need to make sure the permissions are correctly set on each file and the phone (or SMS) app needs to be restarted to take effect.
Thanks everyone.
P.S. I hope you guys get a commission!
After I installed / tested the new roms on Rom Manager, my gallery will not read my SD card..? I d/l'ed a gallery from the market for a temp fix but does anyone have a clue as to how to fix it?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I find that gallery reads the SD card during boot-up.
If you mounted the SD-card after boot-up, or added file to your sd after bootup they typically don't show up until after reboot.
This is after many reboots.

Delete it from system/apps and reboot. Delete cache in stock recovery. Pull the gallery apk out of any of the roms here and put it in the same place....reboot.
You should be good to go.

If you still have "My Files", you can use that to open the photos into the gallery.
push that into system/app
should work..
Awesome! Thanks guys...
I will be at my laptop tonight to try it. We live on a sail boat so these things take time...lol

Well I tried all that.I even wiped and added gallery 3d with a new rom. Still doing the same thing..

I finally fixed it! I used es/explorer to cut and paste the contents of the camera file into them out of another folder. It seems to work fine now... Thx for all your help.

So my problem is when I use android mate to delete a system app like flicker.apk it says deleted successful but it still shows in system app list and in app drawer even after reboot. Any ideas?
Don't know what it is but titanium backup deleted the system files I wanted real ready. How this helps anyone else who runs into this problem

Just delete them manually yourself with some kind of file manager. I use root explorer but others do the same.

How do I make it so ti backs up into sd-ext? It only ' detects' mnt/sdcard... If I have to wipe the data or system, everything goes with it!

Preferences > preferred backup location
You should be able to scan for it or browse to it.
Path should be:
/mount/sdcard-ext/TitaniumBackup

I might add that when you have the popup box there for navigating to your preferred backup location, use the back button to go up a folder. When I first used Ti it took me a while to figure out how to move up a folder in the directory.
Path can be anything you make it, and the Titanium Backup folder won't show on the ext-SDCARD unless you create the folder first, as Ti only creates a folder in the default backup location.

Yeah, the dev wrote me back now (that was fast!) and he told me to use the back button. That worked.
So now whenever I install it, it should automatically search /mnt and look for that folder, or will I always have to set to it?
It remembers. There is also an option to have it keep its settings on the sdcard. Last time i wiped and reatored it set itself to the correct card.

It's checked. Problem Is it goes to sdcard like everything else. Not sdcard-ext
But if it worked for you, maybe not
I installed a handwriting app from another thread via twrp recovery by choosing install from zip file , so the nexus sees it as a stock app, only giving me the option to disable instead of delete. How do I uninstall it, now that it's a system app? I've searched all over the web and can't figure it out. I tried using titanium backup to do it, but it just boots me into twrp and I see no setting in there that let's you delete an app that you flashed via zip... Thanks!

Restore the backup image you made before installing the app

If you know the name of the app and are rooted, you can go to /system/app and delete or rename the app. Disabling the app would work also. Why is that not ok?
I don't want to have things taking up unnecessary space. I'll try un installing by deleting that folder, since I didn't make a backup, I never imagined I would have to go so far as to restore just to uninstall an app, my mistake. I just can't believe that's the only way, I've restored before from backups and it's quite a lengthy process sometimes. At least when I used titanium backup.

If you are Rooted you can use Ron Toolbox from the store. It allows you to uninstall any app. Even System apps. I have been using it for some time and love it. It's great for getting rid of crapware installed by the OEM and Carriers that you don't want on your device. But it does require Root.
Thank you all, I am rooted. Deleting the apk in system /apps folder seemed to work, at least I no longer see it when I look in settings and downloaded apps. I will try rom toolbox though, thanks again for the quick responses!

If it is an HTC phone with S-ON (i.e. no S-OFF), then then any change to the /system partition will be reverted on next reboot, so, yes, you can uninstall a system app, for example using TitaniumBackup, but it will re-appear after reboot.
If you don't have a nandroid backup, then you could open the original ZIP file that you flashed, look what it does, and create an UNDO.zip and then flash it. If it overwrites some existing files, then you can pull them from the original ROM.
For example, if all you need to do is remove some files:
1. Take the zip attached in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058944.
2. Unpack the zip.
3. Edit updater_script in a text editor, and modify the paths to the files you want removed.
4. Repack the zip.
5. Flash via recovery.
The operation can be done completely on the device if you have a proper file manager with archive support. I used TotalCommander which can open ZIPs and edit files in them, and when you press the back button it will ask you to repack the modified file back into the ZIP.
