[Q][howto] how to integrate the vanilla lockscreen

Changing this thread to HOWTO
Instructions:
1. Phone must be rooted
2. Deodexed ROM is a must
3. Download the edited android.policy.jar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112991 (it would be the latest update on the the thread. Check the first page.)
4. Paste the file using root explorer in system/framework.
5. Restart your phone.
*** If you would want to revert back to the old glass screen, make a backup of the android.policy.jar.

Sorry i pressed the wrong button. Can somebody write up a guide on how to integrate the vanilla lockscreen to any theme? This will greatly be appreciated.

Dude there is a guide by skin search the i9003 development section

When i checked the thread and downloaded the file, it was a full deodexed rom. Are there any files that i can just push?

So if i just replace the android.policy.jar , the lockscreen will change even if i dont follow the steps from the deodexing thread?

You need to deodex your framework, otherwise you can take risk by replacing the apk and deleting the corresponding odex file and reboot and hope that it will boot. Then report here, it will help others also. Just kidding, I have not tested this on non-deodexed framework. But this is the way to do it and theoretically it should work.

hi sakindia123, thanks for the reply!
however, my phone still has this problem. at the vanilla lockscreen, pressing the soft key "menu" (leftmost key on i9003) will bring me to the main menu screen (also means unlock my phone)
some help needed!!!

MyTouch 4G LG739 No home screen?!

I did a hard reset on my phone. When it turns back on i have no homescreen. The "introduction" screen comes on as if it was BRAND NEW phone. Go through setup and i have no home page just a black screen with notification bar,Which shows regularly as if phone was fine. I can view recent apps by holding home screen and besides that, that's about it.
What do i do?
Ideas?

...yeah...we're sorry...but we can't really help you as we don't even own this device...

Reboot
Or try hooking up your USB and transferring an apk that you download from your computer for a launcher such as Go launcher or launcher pro ( you can do this using notification bar to mount) and then drag and drop from your computer.
Install the apk, and if your problem is no home screen app, press the home button and it will work.

The best advice i can give you is return the phone since you said its new anyway. And a word of advice, if you can return it and if you can exchange it, i would get a different phone.

So I did what "rockstarar" said and it worked.
Now i then went into Rom manager and chose "install rom from SD".
did a backup and then when the phone finished it rebooted and stuck at the CM9 Mod Bootscreen...

I'm fairly positive Google Play has to go in system/app. It can't just be installed normally. Make sure you change permissions to rw-, r--, r--.

Sooo, why does every Android device I've ever installed it on go through a tremendous amount of effort to get vending.apk to system/app?
---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------
I tried to edit the above post, but I kept getting "invalid thread id."
I wanted to say, I'm not arguing with you. I'm asking a question.
As a for instance, when I wanted to put the Play Store on my wife's Nook Tablet I had to root it first to be able to put the apk in /system/app.

Download zip of choice
go into cwm
go to mounts & storage
mount system
goto install zip from sd
select zip file & yes to flash
restart
this is the method for any flashable zip except rom zips where you also need to wipe data & system

Then it's either
not compatible with your rom
or
you need to delete certain files or rename them
ask the developer for more details

[GUIDE] ROOT Gionee Elife E7 (16/32 GB)

Hi friends,
This is a tutorial for rooting your Gionee Elife E7.
THIS WORKED ON MY INDIAN GIONEE E7 32 GB MODEL. I CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU.
All you have to do is.
1) Go to: www.shuame.com
2) Download latest Shuame PC client.
Or
Google "ShuameSetup_2.0.2"
Install it, It's in Chinese,
choose your pref. Install location,
Tick the license agreement box (If unticked)
hit the BLUE BUTTON!
3) Now download the attached file from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49775640&postcount=39
And don't forget to thank him!
4) Extract the "shuame_EN.exe" from it in the Shauame application directory
(Place where you installed Shuame).
It will ask Administrator permission to write to system directory, grant it.
5) Now launch the "shuame_EN.exe"
6) Enable 'USB debugging' in your phone.
7) Plug your phone into PC.
Now wait for a while till Windows installs the drivers, grant Administrative permissions when required.
When it's all done, it will install Shuame app to your phone and open it up, it's in Chinese, ignore it.
8) Once you see your phone's specs listed on screen, with your screen at left, Click on the "Root" button at TOP
(It has an Android with a Patch on it's right eye)
9) On your phone you might receive warnings from Google, tick the box and give it permission.
(May or may not happen)
10) Once done you will get a prompt on the screen confirming your root!
It installs an app called "Kinguser". Its similar to SuperSu or Super User, You can off course remove it using Ti Back and install your fav. root manager. But I would suggest sticking with it as it works just fine.
!!ENJOY!!
Credits go out to those who made this app and the person who translated it motuslechat

Sorry I do not have access to Indian Stock rom.
I believe you have to flash the rom's zip from recovery after wiping the user data and cache.

Ok.. So Any custom recovery is available ?

you have uninstalled some system app. re install stock ROM with flash tool and then try to update. though i would like to point out that the update is almost useless. it contains some extra theme and Fahrenheit temp unit only
