Running Dwangs rom, and I already tried Contacts.Apk from Eguene373 rom, All it did was remove Contacts completely. I pushed back my old Contacts already, but I would like to know if anyone has successfully pushed anything else?

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
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'm trying out the Blue Magic MK.II ROM and love it, but it's lacking the HTC Framework, I'm assuming.
I pulled the Mail.apk from a different ROM, but I get the message stating it cannot be installed on this phone.
How can I add this into the ROM? I want to be able to use it, but I need the Work Email app.
TIA!
Got it, I had to copy the Mail.apk into /system/app, not just try to run it from the sdcard.
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.

I was wondering if it would be possible to take the Messaging .apk from a 2.1 ROM, and push it onto a 2.2 ROM, replacing the 2.2 Messaging app. I don't really like the 2.2 one, as it lags for me, and I can't really change the font sizes or anything.
Also, is it possible to take a 2.1 LatinIME.apk and do the same thing? These are the only two things that I don't really like about Froyo ROMs, because they are both slow on my phone.
Thanks!
I'm no dev or anything so I'm not 100% sure but I think it can be done. I just don't know if it would run I read somewhere where people tried to push apps from a different build and it FC's when the app starts. Also, I was looking into getting the froyo messager on a donut rom to see how it would run and i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752604. I opened it up to see what files we're flashed to get this and it's just the mms.apk. So I'm guessing what you said can be done by getting the mms.apk from a Eclair rom and push it into your system/app/ folder, The question is will it run though?

I think I'm just gonna try it. I'll adb pull the original MMS.apk first, and if the pushed one doesn't work, I'll just push the original back in.
EDIT: Nope, doesn't work.
