Footprints and Voice Dialer

I have noticed that a lot of roms have voice dialer and footprints removed. I, one of the few, actually use them.. and was wondering if anyone has these files laying around.
I know how to push files (I think), but is that basically all you have to do? Just push the right files into system/apps or whatever?

Nobody eh? Nuts!

Wow thanks. Will give it a shot later today!
edit: link is broken

Seems to work now. Thanks man!

So do you just push all these files to the apps directory?

I pushed the voice search and dialer apks to the app_s dir, didnt try footprints as i already have it installed... but yeah its contained in the same dir, so give it a shot, back up your stuff in case something goes awry

Well I installed voice diaaler and it somewhat works. Recognizes what I say but force closes when I select a number to call.
Footprints won't even install lol.. via adb or through file manager. Oh well, hopefully they get included in other Roms

I dont have that issue, my voice search and dialer work just fine. These were the commands i used
adb remount
adb push<insert file name> /data/app_s
adb shell reboot

Hmm different commands then what I used. Where are your files located when you push them? Tools directory?

Correct sir, they're in the SDK tools dir
Here's the string I used
adb remount
adb push VoiceDialer.apk /data/app_s
adb push VoiceSearch.apk /data/app_s
adb shell reboot

What commands did you use?

1. adb push VoiceDialer.apk /data/local/tmp
2. adb shell pm install /data/local/tmp/VoiceDialer.apk
3. adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/VoiceDialer.apk
I ran your commands and voice dialer installed. Will test it a bit.
Tried the same thing wtih footprints but for some reason that didn't get installed. i had to use file manager to go to system/apps and try and install it from there, then it just said can't be installed on this phone.
I am not sure what to do with the odex files. i thought they were created by system when the app is installed or system is updated.. don't really know what to do with them.

I'm using bcrook's qteknology's hero v1.3b rom port, it's got footprints installed but no voice dialer and search so i just pushed them, also I extracted the footprints apk and odex files. Hope it helps...
Weird...it wont let me attach the zip files...

adb Push to Read-only folder help?

Hey, I want to push a mp3 to /system/media/audio/notifications but when I try to do it, terminal comes back telling me that it's a read only folder. Can anybody tell me either how to push the file, or change the permissions on the folder? Any help would be appreciated. Also, I'm on a mac, so I don't have easy access to the kitchen, but I can get to that if that's the only way. I'm running fresh 1.1 with the mck 1.2

run adb remount first that will mount the system folders as read/write

Why are you pushing an MP3 there?!?!
You are going to eat up all your space!
Create a media folder on your sdcard
sdcard/media/audio/notifications

it's only a 7KB file, so I'm not too worried about it.
@wtphoto I will try the remount and let you know thanks!

Whoo hoo! It worked! Thanks again wtphoto! I shall click the thanks button!
@kcarpenter I pushed the file there because I was having sound lag on my text notifications using rings extended so I want to try it like this. Thanks all.

Help with pushing apks

ok i have exhausted my brain with trying to get into all this by myself. All i want to do is change the drawable's and push them back to my phone. I started small by pulling my HtcClockWidget.apk. I pulled res folder edited some imgs and put folder back in. I have also rm via sdk my origanal one from /system/app i cant for the life of me figure out how to open new one back up. I used Freshkitchen to push file back becuase i couldnt do it myself via adb and here i am now. Why cant i open or install this apk. is it becuase of its location in the system? i sure could use a little friendly help. pm or [No1ukno1357 at aol thnks. If i even posted this in right place. I have about ten diff browsers open trying things so i did search before posting lol. ***I did rm old one first.***

adb remount
adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app/
adb reboot
Does that not work ?

well its booting up we will see lol

well it is now pushed to there but how do you install its not own my widgets list anymore and using esfileexplore wont let you touch them pretty much. my logcat is going absolutly nuts lol ok well it loaded it back up but my changes were not made looks the same lol. going to double check that it was correct one i put back in there

did you remove the apk you edited out of your system before pushing it back?
i use this command when i putting apks back into system.
# install /sdcard/HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app/

Some of the widget files are located in com.htc.resources.apk

...how do you remove default gallery?

I love the new stable cyanogen 5.0.7 for the G1, I just miss the 3d gallery. I was able to find the 3d gallery and install it just fine, but now I have double gallery in app tray. Is it possible to remove the default gallery, and if so, how is it done? I have already tried the following:
Code:
rm /system/app/gallery.apk

I entered the code listed above to remove the gallery.apk from the system. What ends of happening is the 3d gallery gets removed, not the default system gallery. Is there another method, aside from the code I entered in my original post?

here:
I wanted the 3d gallery back which was removed from test 6, so what i did was unzip test5 and renamed Gallery3D.apk which is located in the /system/app folder to "Gallery.apk" and then used adb to push it back to my phone after installing test 6
adb remount
adb push Gallery.apk /system/app
worked fine for me

NO, when you rename it it will replace the 2D gallery

Can you please post the .apk for the 3D Gallery?

Hi Yozpalang,
I am very much newbiee in rooting and after reading this whole thread i didnt got where and how to enter this commands(amd adb remount

By great effort and loads of reading, i was able to root Cyanogen 5.0.7 Rom to my G1 and its working perfectly. After going through this thread i am also interested in having 3D gallery instead of existing photo gallery. So can u please put the step by step procedure for getting it installed in my G1.

Isn't the gallery.apk also the camera app? Aren't the two tied in? Does the "3D gallery" come with the camera tied in?

Most themes involve multiple apps and usually is best to be flash rather than be pushed via Adb. With pushing u would just push the themed apps to ur phone

Here's how to push apps via adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb push BlahBlah.apk /system/app
But as PapaSmurf said above, most Themes involve multiple .apks and even some framework files too, and most devs have created flashable .zips for their themes, so flashing the .zip is the easier and better way to add a theme to your setup.

ok so to make it flashable... all i have to do is convert it into a zip file.?.?

Best bet is to dl a theme of some sort and replace the apks with the ones u want to flash and then delete the ones u don't want. Then resign the zip with avabox

Here is how to push multiple apps at once.....
create a folder anywhere and name it anything you want. I'll name mine system
inside there make another folder and name it app
put all your apps you want to push in the app folder.
Now go back to your system folder and while holding shift right click on an empty space and select open command windows here.
type in
Code:
adb remount
adb push app /system/app
This will push all apps in the app folder. You can also do with with framework. Just push to /system/framework
After you push apps you will need to wait while they all get loaded and setup even after the push process is done.
