I can.. but I can't find locksreen apk and don't know what name of file..
You know what? On second though, I actually have no idea where the Android lockscreen is stored... Silly me. The HTC Lockscreen, however, is stored in /system/app/HtcLockscreen

Its built into the core of the Android system as far as I know. its not an individual program .apk that can be installed or pushed.
I'm not so much concerned with the Launcher as the Lockscreen I really want that and maybe if it was clear that would be dope too but mainly just the 2.1 lockscreen

I don't know which one it is, but the GoogleBits v1.9 for AOSP has the lockscreen in there, don't know which apk it is, but it's in there, I pushed it on an vanillia aosp 2.1 that didn't have a lockscreen once i did, it showed up.
and look around for launcher2.apk which is the nexus one's "home"
sorry don't have time to find them both and link them, but they're in darch's thread somewhere. hopefully that points you guys in the right direction
EDIT: oh forgot, after you push the google bits, remove the htc one and it will revert to the google lockscreen, but only after you push the google one *this is important*
EDIT2: oh agian... do a nandroid backup first
I remember that now I did have that lockscreen when I used that rom but it lacked too many things I needed so I went back to Fresh 1. maybe Noj can chime in on this and lend a hand or does anyone else know how I can get that lockscreen
If its like the one from the Droid you could use lockbot pro

it's really only a issue if your using lwp with it, try the other launcher with lwp
is there a way we can get 5 home screens and use lwp? if you push and use launcher2.apk to the phone and use that for your homescreen, lwp screws up your phone. at the same time, using the regular launcher only gives 3 screens... =/
Is there any way to easily lose the Sense interface, and get my interface looking like the nexus one?
I found several apps to free your home and stuff but i'm looking for something easy like the HTC Hero (i was able to just disable sense here).
yes
watch this:
http ://www .youtube .com/watch?v=MV_zJREAzso
yep, that's the right thing that you have to do
I've read that you can't do that on the later releases...but I'm not 100% on this.
There's always Helix Launcher in the market.

2. Find HTC Sense
3. Force close it, and Clear defaults.
4. Now press home, and select stock home application.
Hope this sorts everyone's problems

you have to download launcher2.apk ! read details

Why would you want to? Sense is one of the factors that makes the Desire better than the Nexus.

Yep indeed amazing isn't it
I've installed Launcher2.apk and despite all the posts to the contrary it works fine on my HTC Desire with the latest firmware.
I must say the app menu is a bit slower (certainly not linear) on Launcher2 compared to Sense UI or Rosie or whatever. But I prefer it to Helix as it's slightly more polished. Things just look a bit off when using Helix.
Used it for a day then went back to Sense. Simple operation using the Application Manager and clearing the defaults but Home Launcher works just as well for this if you're particularly fickle.
i have found the stock froyo 3d lancher for sense roms , very smooth and the best , look at attatchements lancher .apk
bumbing for general benfit
Works great on DarkStone's HD2Froyo,
i've tried getting it from a Sense ROM but it wouldnt install, thanks!
EDIT: i've noticed with the widgets, it looks as if theres a live wallpaper (i have a static) set and takes away the quality of the widgets.

Put the .apk on your SDcard and use Astro or something simular to launch it.
Depending on the build you may also have to select in phone options to allow non marketplace apps to install.

Delete HTCLockscreen.apk from /system/app and then reset
Hmm, I can't get this to work on FroyoStone.
When I open the .apk file it tells me it's already installed, even though I don't have the 3D launcher, and it gives me the option to uninstall. I even tried uninstalling the old package, rebooting and reinstalling the file found here... everything looks the same.

Oh, really?
I thought this was the 3D launcher like you see in Nexus One. You know, the one where the bottom of the list fades away in a 3D manner.
The one on FroyoStone doesn't seem 3D at all, it's just a grid of icons on a black background.

deleting the file would give you trouble turning off your alarm. only a shutdown would turn off the alarm. do you have to do something else for this to be solved?

I've had some problems getting HTC apps working in cm6 latest nightly.
I get my apks from DC froyo.
First I tried an easy install which failed.
Then I moved it to the system/app folder and chmod and chowned to make sure the permissions and owners were the same as stock.
Right now the HTC internet browser opens but force closes.
How can I get it working?
Aren't the HTC apps tied to the Sense framework? If so, I don't think it'll be possible to get them working on a non-sense ROM.
I could be completely wrong.

No you are not completely wrong. You are completely correct. Sense is deeply integrated into Android. It's not like there are just some added libraries. The source code that compiles into the framework.jar and framework-res.apk, etc are directly modified by HTC. This means Sense is no mere skin. It is a complete integration into Android. Regardless, without this framework HTC apps will only run on Sense phones. Some can be ported over but it's a difficult process so most likely the apps you want will not be ported over. Out of curiosity though, which apps are you trying to use on CM6?
If you want Sense, go back to Sense.

Use DC.
Can't use HTC apps without Sense. Please check the FAQ in the future.
if you provide the applications you're trying to run, perhaps alternatives can be suggested for you.
I personally like the HTC Tip Calulator widget....
and the HTC Notes....
But you can't use them on adw.
I don't want an app shortcut, I want a widget.
I prefer AOSP thankyou very much.
I just like the option of having some apps that I got used to.
HTC_ime for example. The keyboard.
Even though I use swype.
The camera app which pwns the stock.
Got flashlight and car panel working.
FM radio and weather would be nice too.
There were some nice Widgets but the only one I miss is the clock.
Any porting tips?

4G and FM Radio is not working in CM6 yet.
this is listed in the CM6 OP.
i'm not sure what HTC browser your talking about. perhaps try installing Dolphin HD browser.
last nights CM6 build incorporated a new camera app and deathray (er...Flashlight app w/ widget). just get the nightly build and flash over what you have...i wipe 'cache' and 'dalvik cache' ...you loose no settings.
i use 'MyWeather' but then, i don't care for weather widgets. have you even looked on the android market for this? maybe try browsing from a computer on a site like www.appbrain.com
i use digital clock widget to provide my time date...many folks praise Beautiful Widgets.

Thanks for your post, but.
This isn't about anything specific, i simply want to know how to get apps ported, without the java source.
That said, I AM using dolphin, but I prefer the copy-paste that I can only find with HTC sense, I was hoping the browser on stock sense would help.
I've come across that thread, and use Swype without much issue, but having no trackball () makes me wish I had some arrow keys.. Not available in that thread.
Since my OP I have customized ADW and i'm quite pleased with it overall.
Now I just want to be able to use any app I wish. Regardless of alternatives!
Beautiful widgets is good, but has no analog clocks last I checked.
I do use it either way, but again, this isn't about anything specific.
I want to unlock apk's so they work anywhere. Any rom. Not just with HTC apps, but even the touchwiz apps!
Don't care about 4G, and i know that there are bugs being worked out with CM6 but i'm following it closely. On the 8/11 nightly build right now.
Finally, I read too much. I know a lot more than I put on..
Been "playing" with android roms since Dream (especially CM).
The problem which I have won't be solved by simply looking around for a version of the APK that works.
I want to know how they are being ported/unlocked .
If you can help, then thankyou very much!
Otherwise, I don't need your irrelevant tips. (No offense intended)

Swype from the Swype key to the SYM key. Voila.
As I am not so much in all the sense stuff, but really like the sense HD browser (for the copy and paste feature) and the new Music player (for the lock screen - I use it for running):
Is there a way to let both run on e.g. defrost rom?
No as with all Sense apps they need Sense to run...quite obvious, really!!

Well, I do not use sense, but all sense apps run...
the widget do not work, but all apps do.
You could try getting the APK from the ROM and see what happens...pretty sure the Music player won't work as it'll need the Sense lockscreen
so... do I got it right that noone tried that before?

Duh, the Sense framework is still running in the background. It's like running an alternative start-menu on your Windows PC and disabling explorer.exe - BUT to open My Computer, you still need to have explorer.exe running in the background.
I'm not 100% right, but it works like this...
Ok-thank's for that clarification, a pity.
