I didn't come up with most of this, I'm just condensing it here for people who want to change their lockscreen.
**Nandroid Backup First**
Revert to vanilla android lockscreen:
Remove HtcLockScreen.apk and HtcLockScreen.odex from /system/app and reboot. This will change your lockscreen to the default android one (the grey box). This also means no more dragging to unlock it, so you have to menu menu to get into your phone. It is nice and transparent though. Be sure and save these files because you can just flop them back in to restore the HTC Lockscreen, it just takes a reboot. It will look like this, but with HTC Sense.
Backup -
adb pull /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk C:\
adb pull /system/app/HtcLockScreen.odex C:\
Deleting HTC Lockscreen -
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /system/app/
# rm HtcLockScreen.apk
# rm HtcLockScreen.odex
# reboot
Putting the HTC Lockscreen back - (mount system as rw again)
adb push C:/HtcLockScreen.apk \system\app\
adb push C:/HtcLockScreen.odex \system\app\
Transparent HTC Lockscreen:
This will allow you to use a transparent or semi-transparent background as your HTC lockscreen. You can make it look like the Hikari build one here.
1. Pick your image and make it 320x455, it has to be a .png or .gif to suport transparency. Rename it to "htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg" and place it in /system/etc/lockscreen/port
2. Clear out /data/misc/locksreen - This is going to remove the cached copy of the current lockscreen. Reboot. The phone will fail to find a cached copy and automatically pick your renamed png-jpeg and you will now have a transparent background.
Command Version - (Change for where your image is stored on your hard drive)
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# rm /system/etc/lockscreen/port/htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg
# exit
adb push C:/htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg \system\etc\lockscreen\port\
adb shell
$ su
# rm -r /data/misc/locksreen/
# reboot
You can shorten this up, but I made this longer so new people could see exactly what we were doing through the commands. Mount as read/write, remove the file, push a new file, clear cache, reboot.
Enjoy!
If you find any typos/errors let me know
i wouldnt mind some commands lol

what kind of image should i use any
?
I did this on my stock image and again on modaco 1.1. It worked fine on both
Any screenshots of the default lockscreen? I've never seen it. How is it better?
It's not "better," just different. It will look like this, but with HTC Sense. I added this to the OP too so new people could see it.
I was going to just screenshot my phone, but picme doesn't take screenshots of the lock, anyone have a program that does?
Try Drocap2 for screen shots.

Looks great! Thanks for posting an example.
Thank you and no problem

This will theme well over 90% of everything you see that has to do with the android os and blur if its still there.
Download my files here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=59KOD7MS
By downloading this you agree to take full responsibility for the actions you are about to preform.
Original files if needed http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0RNAMSQ3
If you have kousch's recovery installed, make a back up, if not use root explorer and make a back up of the following file.
/system/framework/blur-res.apk
download the other original system files here
Sorry no MM method only terminal emulator, so you have to suffer through typing about 10 lines of commands....
Unzip the entire contents onto your sdcard
open terminal emulator
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Services.jar /system/framework
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
your phone will auto reboot. If you havent already applied a changed services or framework the boot animation will take a long time. If it by chance freezes, or does the boot sound but never shows the screen do a battery pull.
Once your phone reboots you will see a new lock screen and dark status bar with white font, if this is not the case you need to redo the steps above.
If you have root explorer, long press on the /system folder choose permissions. Make note of what permissions are set, grant everything permission for now. Change this back when your done. Failure to do so may cause an apk to not apply.
If you prefer you can reboot after each line command by simply typing reboot and hitting enter, just to make sure it boots clean, but its really not needed.
Put capitol letters when seen!!!! failure will cause duplicate applications!!!
Dont apply anything blur you deleted and dont want on your phone.
In terminal emulator
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/BlurPhone.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/BlurCalendar.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/BlurContacts.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/BlurHome.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/Gallery3D.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/Settings.apk /system/app
this one goes to new directory so pay attention, dont get type happy
cp /sdcard/blur-res.apk /system/framework
now type reboot and hit enter
phone may or may not have an extended boot.
If you use handcent and want it themed, uninstall your old one
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/com.handcent.nextsms.apk /system/app
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
Enjoy

I learned a lot from looking at how everyone else themed to get ideas for mine.
all images came from google searches. Then edited as needed.

please wait... an operator will be with you shortly...
Whens the download going to be up?
Ok. Now that i reverted to stock i can't get my themed google maps to install.... sucks. Also my themed launcher pro keeps my registation code. So if i release that its stealing. I will work on these two tonight and see what i can do.
Either way, a dl will be posted in the morning.

No it should be fine, the animation just moves across in portrait mode, not landscape like it would on the Xoom. No distortion

This looks AMAZING!! No squishiness or anything! I could seriously watch that all day (as I dream of owning a XOOM)...
How come it took 8 months for someone to mention that I could just replace the bootanimation.zip with Root Explorer?! lol... My laptop died, so I'm stuck with my work machine which I can't install ANYTHING on, let alone run ADB without some Regional IT bastard scanning my machine, looking for a reason to report misuse of a company asset to save his/her own ass... I've been replacing the zip before flashing all this time, and my designated boot was the X (attached, since it's still so pretty...).
Thank you SOOO much! I've themed my EVO to the best of my ability to match the HoneyComb blue, and this is THE perfect addition!
Gonna' go wipe my cache, and dalvik so the boot lasts longer...
Loving it! Goes great with my HC theme on my MIUI ROM!

How exactly do I use the "adb push" method? Is this something I can do in the terminal emulator? If so, how exactly do I do it?
Thanks
adb method
reboot to recovery and do this
go to the mounts-storage in the recovery
mount system
type in your computer
./adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
now to do it through the terminal I believe its something like this
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system <- there is a space between 4 /system
make sure you know where the bootanimation is located. if in downloads
then do
cp /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
if it is on the root of the sdcard then do
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
( If you did not rename the .zip to bootanimation.zip then change the cp to mv )
and we done.
enjoy and sorry about the late response I was really busy.
Thanks for this. I was able to download it and use Root Explorer to get it going. Rebooted my phone a couples times just to watch the animation.
Dude, this is really really cool! Thanks OP!

Dude, I'm sorry but I can't seem to figure this out... I've got my EVO hooked up to my laptop running Ubuntu...
I have the USB storage on so I can see it on my desktop...
I'm typing exactly the "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system" and it gives me a statement saying "system" does not exist.
Any thougths... That is EXACTLY what I'm suppose to be putting into terminal right? There is no part where I'm suppose to put in my own device name or location?
I'm soo bad with this terminal stuff...

Media Transfer Protocol. Gives you access to your SD Card and phone storage without unmounting them from phone so your SD Card is also available through phone as well as on PC. If you access any file on your phone, it will first copy it to PC and then open it which makes it slower. But its good enough for transferring pics and music and basically MEDIA TRANSFER as the name says..

What are the advantages of deodexing the stock rom?
I came across this thread and it gave me curiosity to find-out the stuff which I wanted to read for long time. Odex and deodex..
The only advantage I came across of deodexing was posibility of theme modifications.
Some thread on XDA and google said that with odex rom (1) boot will be faster.
With deodexing, they said (1) it will take up more data space (2) theoritically deodexing will slow some performance and (3) longer boot times because of big dalvik cache...
Please can you tell me exactly where I am wrong?

hello , it´s only for jelly bean?
Hello guys, experiencing another problem now :silly:
Have search all around, couldn't find any valid answers so I decided to ask myself.
So I was just making a rom, which I have already installed. It's based on Cataclysm (personal use only - Till I ask for perm).
I have installed the rom, then I decided to theme some system files. And so I did. I theme the "Settings.apk" for now, and decided to push it to my device instead of installing the whole rom over again. Now mind you when I made roms and modified system apps, pushing these files to the device was straight forward. However on this Hammerhead, I've been running into some issues.
When pushing the file to my device like this
Code:
adb push Settings.apk system/priv-app
.
I get an error that says -
Code:
failed to copy "Settings.apk" to "system/priv-app/Settings.apk" : Read only file system.
So I then decided to try the following -
Code:
[x] adb root - Permission Denied
[x] adb remount - Permission Denied
So then I decided to use some shell commands to set the system as rw, I did the following.
Code:
[x] adb shell
[x] $ su - gave it permission
[x] $ mount -o rw,remount /system - It mounts it.
I then restarted cmd with root permission.
Code:
adb root"
- it restarted however, this time it stated.
Code:
Device not found.
I probably did the wrong thing above, so how exactly can I push files to /system?
SOLVED
Thanks to everyone that answered my question in detail.
The easiest way I know to push files to /system through adb is using a custom recovery . Try with it.
Why not use usb or AirDroid to transfer files?

Boot into recovery and connect the usb cable. Open a cmd prompt.
Code:
adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push c:\users\krishneelg3\desktopmyfile /system/priv-app
You can also use the "mount system" option in recovery and skip the first 2 commands above.

Open recovery, mount system partition and connect it to pc and then normal procedure.
It will be running as adbd to no need to type adb root. Hope this helps

You can still do it through Android, but it's more difficult because adb root doesn't always work (requires kernel) and you have to mount r/w which is just a pain. I always adb push in recovery.
However, here is an example of a successful attempt to adb push on my nexus 5.
Code:

I personally hate the automounting CDROM image with HTC software. I know it's fairly common knowledge how to disable it but below are the commands for anyone that cares. Make sure android debugging is enabled and enter the applicable command in your computer's terminal. As with other /system edits, this will only stick if you have S-OFF. You may need your phone screen unlocked to accept the su prompt if you haven't already granted ADB root access.
Disable HTC Virtual CDROM:
Code:
adb shell su root -c "mount -o remount,rw /system /system; mv /system/etc/CDROM.ISO /system/etc/CDROM.ISO.bak; mount -o remount,ro /system /system"
Re-Enable HTC Virtual CDROM:
Code:
adb shell su root -c "mount -o remount,rw /system /system; mv /system/etc/CDROM.ISO.bak /system/etc/CDROM.ISO; mount -o remount,ro /system /system"
i didnt know
I didn't know either... thanks!:good:
Never even crossed my ind to remove that annoying "feature"
Cheers man
Any particular reason to not simply rename the file cdrom. iso.bak or just delete it?
Transmitted from the holodeck of my HTC One M8.

Nope, I'm in IT so I always rename and not delete for small files. Personal preference.
I had no idea. Thanks so much
Nice. So glad to get rid of that stupid thing. I wanted to do that before but couldn't find where the file was located. Worked great. Thanks alot!
Thanks, just used root explore, found the file, and just added .bak to it.
Put a bootable Linux rescue ISO in there :angel:
unfortunately, I can't find that file. it exist because the silly CD popups every time I plug my phone in, but the .iso isn't in system/etc. my phone seems to be slightly stupid when doing a search. Oh well. Good info to have. Thanks for posting the instructions. I appreciate it.
