-Just take off the .zip and enjoy
Code:
adb remount
adb push HtcFootprints.apk /system/app/HtcFootprints.apk
adb push HtcFootprints.odex /system/app/HtcFootprints.odex
adb shell reboot
Anyone happen to have the apk and odex? I can't find them in any my old Hero builds and would like to use program and widget... Thanks!!!

isn't it just for Hero? Its working on JacHero 2.7.4 just fine.
Beats me I don't have a Hero Rom.
what is Footprints app for exactly?
beware,
htc Footprints can only be used on HERO ROMS won't work on 1.5 regular cupcake, JF, Cyangen or others.

thank you!!! ya still was looking for it... Will try it and let you know. You installed box the odex and apk n still it wouldn't work on Hero?
I tried installing just HTC footprints apk and odex via adb just got errors. Might try again later.
I am using a hero Rom on a magic.
i was able to get the odex to the app_s but when i install the widget it gives me error
"Failure [Install_Failed_Dexopt]"
If anyone knows what that means can you please help? Thank You
Yeah that's what I get when trying to install just the normal app from that zip. Can't figure it out as of yet.
When I install the. Apk from this thread it at least installs but crashes on opening. I think we are missing something

Thats weird bc i've used this footprints i've uploaded the whole time and still use it without it crashing. what error do you get when it crashes?
Try this.
adb remount
adb push HtcFootprints.apk /system/app/HtcFootprints.apk
adb push HtcFootprints.odex /system/app/HtcFootprints.odex
adb shell reboot
I was pushing to /system/app_s/ originally and that's what kept giving me the error. I don't know the difference between app and app_s, maybe app_s is just a system link or something.
Anyways, pushed the odex and apk for footprints and the widget, and it works, no crashing so far. widget works too.
it gives me a error: Read-only file system.
and even when i try in rootmanager it wont let me change it to r/w it stays on r/o
tested on JACxHEROSki2.2 A.B.RMX & Drizzy's last HERO rom. Maxisma1.6.1
If your on HERO rom but hate the ARC lockscreen here's how to change it.
get the attached file, unzip *.apk and extract it to the root of your sdcard, then perfrom the following:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
adb shell cp /sdcard/com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/
adb shell reboot
or console
mount /system/
rm /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
cp /sdcard/com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/
reboot
UPLOAD KEEPS TIMING OUT CHECK BACK LATER - IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO HOST THE FILE PLEASE LET ME KNOW...if you want the file please send me a PM
this should be the same for the hero build you are on, but since the last hero build i downloaded was new vision revision 2 for a friends phone, i don't have a more current hero. with that said
it was in data/app_s/HtcLockScreen.apk/res in that folder there are 4 drawables. each of them contains parts to it. i would imagine you could just drop that .apk into another hero rom, sign it, and flash it.
though i would definitely make a nandroid first

thanks, what i actually ended up doing since both lockscreen.apk were the same i figured the "difference" i wanted laid somewhere else so through trial and error i figured it out.
it was the .com.htc.resources.apk from drizzy's rom that made the difference from an ARC lockscreen to a FULL lockcreen.
adb shell rm /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
adb shell cp /sdcard/com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/
adb shell reboot
i should post a [how to] lol
UPDATED OP MADE MY FIRST HOW TO WOOT WOOT!!

a bit pointless to show screenshots of something that is not there. the lockscreen just shows the info that is normally on the arc, but no arc (the png files have been replaced with transparent versions)
Big thanks to the OP. I was doing this myself but didn't know enough adb to get my revised graphics back on to the phone.

AGREED, this just removes the arc from your lockscreen and shows the complete image - leaving just date and time.
I'll post a screenshot later, I guess.
haha oooh i got cha i didnt undestand exactly what you changed or modifited to the lockscreen =D
i have the transparent lockscreen also on mine hero rom
thanks!
console commands
So i unziped it to my sd card, but I can't remember if i put it in the root of my sdcard or if its in /sdcard/downloads, but I don't know the console command to list the directories or files in that folder, i know on ADB/terminal emulator its 'ls'
NVM i figured it out, had to also type mount /sdcard because it kept saying no such file, but mount /sdcard did the trick

nope feel free to try it out.. just make a nandroid backup first using the recovery console if you have CM's new recovery image. if it doesnt work you can always just do a restore..
post back results
cest hero 2

dont modify the file in the actual rom - you'll get stuck in a boot loop due to the rom needing to be resigned.
1.7 uses a new hero dump so it may not work.. My phone fell in Kool-Aid so im useless for the time being lol

i have already done this - send me a pm and ill get you set up- im running it on jachero 1.8
is it possible for me to replace my camera wit the htc camera app that is on the hero rom, and if so where can i get it??
not sure if possible, but it's easy to find out.
all you have to do is download the hero rom and extract the files. go into the system folder and look inside of the app folders and look for HTCCamera.apk OR Camera.apk.
take it and push it to your phone and reboot, it should work or not work you can test. it wont harm your phone. make sure you backup your current camera app first so you can revert if the hero camera dont work. Make a note of what file name your current camera is, and rename the hero camera to be the same thing. then push it.

this is the exact steps you need to take.. first you need adb installed
adb remount
adb pull /system/app/Camera.apk
adb install directoryoffile/HTCCamera.apk
adb install directoryoffile/HTCAlbum.apk
adb shell remount
if it doesnt work or you get a FAILURE when pushing either one of these .apk files just push back your old Camera.apk

ay yi yi... look here... it will tell you exactly how to get ADB up and running... once you do, you will wonder how you ever lived without it...
ADB, Fastboot, Nandroid for n00bs
also, this write up is for the 1.5r2 SDK, the setup for 1.5r3, which is the newest one is exactly the same
IF YOU HAVE THE SDK INSTALLED, THEN YOU ALRREADY HAVE ADB. needed that in caps so you dont go installing stuff u might not need.
if you are on windows, hit start > run. then type CMD, then the dos box will pop up. here you can enter in the commands that palosjr gave earlier.
i was following the directions on the thread posted but when i tried to put the sdk folder in my c/ drive it told me i didnt have enuff space...would it be possible for someone to put the htccamera app into a theme for me?
I tried it but it resulted in following error:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION]
For either one (HTCCamera and HTCAlbum)
ya nm good luck im going to see how it turns out i would love to have HTC camera and Album seems nice.

probably needing some other framework from hero to make this work... i will do some searching for you and see if i cant get it to work. if you guys want the HTC camera, why dont yall just flash jacheroski1.8 or 2.0? both are solid, and in case you didnt hear, all the SMS issues are fixed.
I have ran those roms and ya they are solid but i like to stick with cyanogen roms. Im only really after the ablum app with multi touch. Now that BFS has hit the scene I'm tempted to give a hero rom a look see but i want to see what cyanogen will do next lol.
I looked around in two hero roms and found in the lib folder two *.so files for the camera and one for album. Those are the only files that are named after the apps. On a side note, do the camera and ablum app rely on one another? The reason i ask is the thread was started about the camera app and then it is recommended to push both by adb. Getting album to work is what caught my eye to begin with all though htc camera app would be nice.
Any progress on this front? I tried a couple Hero roms and really liked the camera and gallery. I can't stay on Hero because it doesn't work right with Google Voice dial-thru. Is there a way to get them ported into Cyanogen 4.1.11.1?
Install_failed_already_exists
Interesting... trying to adb install HTCCamera.apk (taken from the Sprint Hero dump) into Cyanogen 4.1.11.1 fails with the message [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]
Doing the same for HTCAlbum.apk gives the message [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]
So I'm fairly new to android about three months now, and need help.....
1) How do you modify system files and apk's? (tried Estrongs but it won't let me use root access even when i click the always allow prompt)
2) Can someone explain exactly how i partition for Apps2SD ( PM me if possible)
3) Can you change bootscreens with a .zip flash? if so does anyone have a link for the cynanogen mod nexus boot as used in Darchvanilla??
4) How to change to a normal 2.1 lockscreen?
Thank you and any help is deeply appreciated.....

1.) no idea...try linda file manager.
2.) you partition it with the recovery image. swap/ext/fat32
3.) yes
4.) define normal?
Normal by the 2.1 vanilla lockscreen (I Sware I hate the HTC lock,lol)
and could you post a few instructions for apps2sd because i'm still not sure,

to remove the htc lock screen just pull the lockscreen.apk via adb or using the new fresh kitchen.... or you could install fresh's new 2.1 rom. apps2sd should set up automatically as long as the rom you pick has it integrated. you have to make sure your sd card is partitioned before flashing the rom.

I can concur with this ^
If you want a good 2.1 rom then go with damage or fresh. If you want a 1.5 id go with pancake without sense, super fast!
I'm using the vanilla sms program. can I remove the stock hero dialer and use the vanilla one? when I go into my epst settings and have to enter my msl, I get a blak dialer of sorts.
edit: can we use somethign from an eris or similar device?
edit2: i downloaded the 'nexus-like' dialer from this post. havent pushed it yet, pretty sure its for gsm
what rom are you running. CM6 is all AOSP so the stock android dialer is in there. I attached both phone and contacts. Just adb push xxxxx.apk /system/app or adb install xxxxx.apk

im using nfinites .6odex version with a darch oc kernel. i pushed the vanilla messages app and it worked alright. will this work the same way and do i need to delete the originals in the phone via adb prior to pushing? long sentence. thank you thank you
well I tried pushing those over after I deleted phone.apk. couldn't find anything called contacts.apk to delete. I pushed them both and neither seemed to work. in fact phone.apk did not work. seemed like it couldn't find service...
I attached both phone and contacts.
Are these apk's the ones that come with CM6 RC1 already ?
In all of the AOSP-apps-on-Sense discussions I've read through, people have always have trouble getting contacts/phone working.
