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?

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

Yea, check out THOR's ROM. With his ROM, you press and hold the power button and are given the options to shut down, reboot, reboot into recovery, or open his special status bar mod.

There's an app called RomToolbox. It's designed for phones, but, it has the boot options in the app. So far, I've ran several of the options on my 501 and haven't had but 1 fc on the animation viewer.
But the boot menu seems to work.
So it seems to function, HOWEVER, some of the options I wouldn't advise using on your tab, because it's a phone app.

yeah, I believe what it does is some sort of cache dump and restarts the android system only. as far as I understand. but yeah, it should save a touch of time off a full boot. I think the most used option, or at least that,s important to me, is the boot to recovery option. a real lifesaver!!!!

Have you tried turning it off, and leaving it off? I haven't used the delta system yet, but on my ROM/TWRP/phone, if I turn it off in recovery, then back into ROM and flash something that's not signed, the verification is still off and the flash succeeds.

I moved from maple leaf and now on a fresh boot, the pin lock is not enabled so you can just swipe to unlock. If after a boot you wait a bit for the screen to time out, then the pin lock is enabled. Before the first screen timeout, the power button does not lock the screen either.

Hi, I did it to work the long back kill button... on GF 4.1
Works for me the option to kill apps featuring wanam, I added the option to hold the back button to kill apps but this works with the menu button and not the back button...
Ok when we pressing the menu button the Super User ask me to accept a premise [Android System UID] but we will not be acceptable, since we cannot stop the countdown and we ended up giving the Super User...
As we turn to try and hold the Menu button and when the Super User asks us to accept the premise [Android System UID] you do this, blocked the screen normally and unlocked again, but this will froze and we cannot access our phone, (Well, do not despair ...) the display will work again once the Super User countdown ends, we will not see it, but do not despair...
Once you can access your phone, will still ask for the Super User permission to accept [Android System UID] and time accept the permission.
And now we have running the menu button to kill our apps.
I hope you can understand my explanation because my English is not good... And I hope to help ... For me it works great, I have found this method to see the [Android system UID] does not let me guarantee the permission, and I did this so its works…
Good luck…
Stock S5 Power Button Menu
Hi,
I'm trying to get a stock S5 look (with all the S5 features) on my S4. This is one of few ROMs that I really like, but I'm trying to make the 'power button menu' or the 'reboot menu' to look stock.
Can someone help me with making the 'power button menu' look stock (or minimal)?
Without using xposed framework, maybe by replacing .apk or resource files somewhere in /system?
By stock, I mean without extra features like "Mobile Data Mode, Take Screenshot, Flashlight, etc"
I've attached photos to show what I'm trying to accomplish.
Is there a way to change the soft key actions?
When I try backing up the Rom, I get a error message saying cannot backup /data

How to run ROM on stock Touchwiz kernel?
I really like this ROM for the GS4, I just wish there were some things I could change on my phone!
(I'm using a t-mobile m919, on stock 4.4.2 NB4 bootloader)
It is possible, (and how) to run this ROM using stock Touchwiz m919/i9505 kernel and bootloader.
I've tried installing it using AT&T (safestrap) and no kernel flash, it runs but WiFi Cannot turn on.
I've tried installing it using m919 and no kernel flash, it gets stuck on boot animation.
It works using the two custom kernels, but it is possible to run this ROM on stock m919 or i9505 kernel?
(And has anyone figured out how to make the "power button menu" look stock/minimal?
I feel like I'm going to accidentally hit "Data network mode," "Airplane mode," or "emergency mode" every time I try to mute the volume using the power button. I would like to get rid of those options if possible)
So i have been having some call issues.
Sometimes when someone calls or when I call we cannot hear anything on either lines.
Only way to fix this is restarting my phone.

Help, I downgraded from 2.3 to 2.2 for various reasons,but now when I try to upgrade again I just get the pink screen ,if I try using the option from settings/storage,it says key data couldn't be backed up , the installation will stop. Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up completely so I can't even continue to use it in 2.2 can anyone advise ?

Try to put the 2.3 dload folder to a sd card, then remove the battery, plug in a USB cable to the computer and the phone, volume up+down+power (if I remember right lol). See if it will update that way.

Hi there!
I think when you upgrade from software menu there is an option for data back-up.
Uncheck this option and the error should go away.
Also what do you mean with this: "Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up" ?
What do you mean it locks up? Touchscreen is not responsive for example?
My suggestions:
1) Do a factory reset and then check if you can upgrade
2) Try re-installing your recovery(use cwm 5.0.27 by geno for best compatibility) or even replace the whole image folder with the froyo one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146856
Your phone is not beyond repair that's for sure. Since it boots fine.

I haven't noticed an option for data backup,will check again later on. And yes when it locks up touch screen becomes unresponsive and none of the buttons respond either. Also when I try to enter recovery ,both custom and stock, it displays the kernel logo then vibrates with a black screen for a second then back to kernel logo and continues to boot.

Ok guys,I copied over the stock image folder and now it works ok, however I still can't upgrade from froyo. At least I can use it again though so thanks for your help, its much appreciated. Incidentally, there wasn't an option to back up data when upgrading, but that error has now gone, except it now just reboots instead, so I will just keep trying.
