I tried installing a modded com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk (AudioManager Widget) that had different colors. I find the default to be very ugly with any theme.
It didn't work, and now I'm not able to install the Market version of the widget. If I try to install the backed-up original apk on my sd card, I get "AudioManager could not be installed on this phone."
If I try to install from the Market, I get "Incompatible update".
What can I do to fix it?
PS: I have Navigation, which means I have the different build.prop's in place. Could that be contributing to my problem?
hey
im assuming tha you resigned the apk if not theres your problem
otherwise its the xml file in the apk these might need to be changed if you majorly change the apk

I just took the apk from a thread in XDA's theme resource subforum, some thread with a lot of edited apk's.
My problem is less of the modded apk than it is my phone not installing the normal AudioManagerWidget.
its more than likely mismatched keys like jsheilds said, which is why it wont install from the market
you need to delete it first before you install it

I've uninstalled/deleted it any way I can already.
rm /system/sd/app/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk
rm /system/sd/app-private/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk
rm /system/app/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk
I've even searched with SU FBS and didn't find anything. Removed all data of it and it still won't install.

Yes. Uninstall and try again.
I am also getting an install error.
I have tried to uninstall the existing 1.1.1 version using the Expsetup but still won't install.
I'm thinking that clearing all associated data for facebook would help but don't know the directories etc that I would need to delete.

That did it, thanks!

Where to get Facebook 1.1.2?
I unistalled V1.1.1 but still cant install new version 1.1.2!!! went to aplication manager and found a file that says com.facebook.katana but doesnt let me do anything with it.
Any ideas?
If you're having problems uninstalling, that's because you used an update.zip and it is installed in the system/app folder. You have to use terminal or adb to mount the folder as rw to remove it.
My question, though, is it better than the one from droid? Cuz if not then I don't want to waste my time updating...

Most importantly would be to ask how do you get your system back to normal so you can install updates later.
I know at one time I messed with my prop file to install the Nav at one time. I wonder if that could be a problem. I removed the Facebook app, but it told me it wasn't compatable so I wonder if it that prop file is affecting anything.
Put the original build.trout.prop file back in the /system folder. Deleted the old Sholes/droid version via the market and it installed without a hitch.
It doesn't seem to like a modified prop file.
To me personally it looks just like the droids version except the white bar at the top is fixed.
Heres the line you want to change back.
ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1.6/DRC83/14721:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys
or upload this buid.trout.prop file to your /system folder. Just drop the .txt from the end.
EDIT.
After fighting a bit with the prop file I ended up just reflashing the rom that I originally installed which over wrote the modded prop file. Now I'm back to the orginal file and then I used the APK provided here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5147596&postcount=16
After that I uninstalled it via the market and reinstalled it now I'm back to where I should be.
So you could use that stock prop file, but after 5 or so tries it was sorta mixed results.
Anyone got the apk? I tried the site posted above but nothing happened.

what commands in terminal to mount the folder as rw to remove it?
i used a script to switch my build.trout, but i used the script to switch back to the old one and i can't get FB to install. i never did anything to mod these for the nav and FB a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the tip...solved my problem...
how the hell do i change the new market on my theme... it keeps refreshing the stupid new one OTA. I pulled all the system apps with adb to see if it over wrote anything, but to no avail... my original vending is still intact... where is this file so I can have the update automatically included in the build with MY files?????? Please help themers, im still new with this
update:
Ok, so most of you themers probably figured out how to overwrite the market file when its in the data/app/ but after troubleshooting, i could not get it to write to the system/app side... so for now, a temporary solve is to deleter picotts.apk and marketupdater.apk from the /system/app folder... market works still and installs still, just wont be 1.66, which for me doesnt really have any advantages other than the bill to account option... hope this helps some of you

it's not you. it has something to do with cyan's latest roms. vending icon goes to stock so i believe it's allowing the htc 1.6 to overwrite it. i believe the only way perhaps to change it is to take vending from the htc image 1.6 itself and theme that. not 100% sure, but that's your best bet . hope it works.
Check my theme thread for more details, but it has to do with a tmo update placing a package com.android.vending.apk in /data/app/ thermr it, sign it in a .zip with the test keys, and pull the .apk from the .zip and push it back to /data/app/

It's not Cy's ROM. It's like david said, the TMO update goes into /data/app instead of /system/app. Once everyone has the update, we can just start putting the themed vending in a data/app folder in our update.zips

yeah my bad for the incorrect info. i just noticed that issue when i was on cyan's latest roms 4.2.7+. dwang's did not have this issue (except for 1.15). thanks for the correct info though .
I don't have the update because I wiped after it rolled out, but my GF's phone has the option to uninstall the update when you click on the Market inside the settings. Has anyone tried this yet? Just curious

I have been using this as a solution since the first day the issue arrived. What this does is remove com.vending.apk from /data/app (the tmo update is installed in data instead of system) with a manual delete. I have also tried pushing it back to data/app and the update works after that.
Here is what I have figured out: Do you remember the days of android when when it was first figured out how to manually set up apps2sd? There were many market issues in those days which often resulted from people setting up apps2sd before opening the market and signing the TOS. This same thing is reappearing with metamorph applications, in that after metamorph plays with the framework, the android market (online check server) no longer sees you as having signed the TOS, which normally happens upon the markets first launch. The market app itself has info in the cache that you have signed the TOS, and thus it will launch, but will the online check that occurs will not allow the install. When you downgrade it forces a resign of the TOS, and thus unless metamorph is used again, an upgrade is fine at this point.

since its a tmo update, would it mess up anyones market that doesn't have tmo? or make separate version for people that have or don't have tmo?
yea, i found it last night after posting in the /data/app when i was extracting updated apks doing a backup (with backup for root)
wasnt the place i wouldve expected to find it. i tried renaming it to vending, themeing it, and then putting it back into system apps, but to no avail... so i added a /data/app and am going to have it auto install. hopefully the OTA wont still force it to overwrite my themed files... but thanks for the help guys, i hope this works
yeah im not on TMO im on rogers. i never even got a notice of any kind of update.
bump... check first post
i know some themes change it, but i like the theme i have already. i just want to change the keyboard to a more pleasant look. is there somewhere i can find different ones to download or flash onto my rom? i don't want to use betterkeyboard app, etc.
Here You Go Buddy.
Well i skinned the stock keyboard pretty easily with a few easy techniques.
First check out my theme Ivory http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612315 To see if that's what you want. I hope your familiar with themeing or this might be confsing.
-I took the latinIME.apk from cyanogens last rom
-Opened it as a zip and navigated to the res drawable folders
-downloaded the better keyboard skins i wanted (simple black and green)
-pulled the different drawable files from the betterkeyboard apps and replaced the stock cyanogen ones
-resigned apk and flashed inside my theme

I would go for editing HTC_IME.apk, just a personal preference i guess, but i think its better, and have played around with editing it a bit myself, and its pretty easy, but you need to be able to do *.9.png files.

Im not sure, are you using stricstons signing tool? how are you flashing it?
What ROM are you trying it on? The new CM ROMs the keyboard is now in the LatinIME.apk instead of the framework-res.apk, but if you are using one of the other ROMs, that may not be the case.

i dont think so, im using a modded apk signing tool i found on here, i lost the link.
and im doing
cp /sdcard/LatinIME.apk(the one i made) /system/app
in terminal emulator.
then after that the keyboard just dissappears. if i restart after that, the keyboard never shows up. if i just try to go back, i get acore force close repeatedly.

You may want to try getting Stericson's signing tool. If it is disappearing signing could be the main issue. Since you edit it on your PC, why don't you just push it through adb after signing instead of copying it to your sd and then having to use the terminal?

the thing is though that i used the same signing tool to edit a graphic on a different app & it worked just fine.
i don't have/really know what adb OR sdk is & terminal is the easiest way i know how to do it. i mean does it really make a difference?
its been confirmed that it's not my signing tool because i used the same tool to edit a different app, a battery widget i downloaded from the market. & it worked fine. anyone else can help me?
lets get this working buddy,
Alrighty maybe try flashing the keyboard in an update.zip, just put the latinIME.apk into a folder named app. Then copy a meta inf folder from another theme download, you can use mine. Then send that to a compressed folder, resign and try to flash it. I would try that, I have never had good luck pushing with adb and pulling stuff, I stick with the easy way
yesssss i finally got it to work! it turns out i didnt need the signing tool at all. i took the latinime.apk file from a theme with a skinned keyboard, then i ONLY replaced the keyboard png's, and kept the meta-inf how it was. thanks guys for trying to help
I've changed some png's (of a working apk) but keeping the size, signed the apk (with the right click method), but I get the message that it's not posible to install it.
What is wrong?
Which rom are you installing them on and your signing tool might be the problem too.
In my experience with GenieWidget.apk for the G1/MT3G, you have to push it to /system/app/ and reboot to get it to work. I don't know if it can be installed to /data/app/.

hi, i try to do this too.

joshuas_79 do you did it ?
Do sign via the right click signing. Place it in an update.zip and sign the entire update. Then flash the update and you will be fine.
ok it's my first time in android and i am french so sorry for my mistake.

If you are saying that you want to install a random app you grabbed somewhere and the Applications Manager won't allow you to install it, you are correct. That is used to uninstall applications
You can install apps a few different ways. Personally, I only install apps while connected to my computer. So I simply...
Code:
adb install applicationName.apk
If I have a bunch of apps I wish to install, I use android commander (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622873)
Beyond that, you also have this option (http://android.modaco.com/content/s...e-clicking-on-your-pc-with-installapk-beta-1/) and there are also file managers (http://www.androidtapp.com/linda-file-manager-formerly-android-file-manager/) that will allow you to install apps.
Hope this helps!
Android Commander looks nice...and useful. Thanks for the links. I'll look into those programs to see if it does what I want it to do.
To elaborate on what I wanted...I took the IM.apk from enoms rom and installed it onto cy's rom using root explorer...but it shows under app manager...it's not 'flashed' into the system ROM. So I'm wondering how to install the IM.apk so that it looks like it came preinstalled with the ROM.
Hope nobody says that I need to make an update.zip... cause I think that would be a bit over my head.
Anyway...off to read up on the link you provided. Thanks!

ooooh! gotcha.
Push any system replacements over their original...so IM.apk, Mms.apk, etc all get pushed into /system/app as you originally thought. Sorry, I didn't quite understand what you were asking.
But through my confusion, you got reading material...
