has any one themed the new facebook apk v1.2? tryed renaming and morphing and i get a problem loading widget for the widget.. or any way to use my old themes and make it work? thanks
The update gets stored on data/app and i dont think you can metamorph apps in data..
Pull the .apk from data/app rename it to Facebook.apk and push it to system then you should be able to morph it....
Mine don t go there.I see it in SD ext it when I rename and try to move with my file manager to system app it never goes.any ideas.or what's the command to push it ? Thanks
What file manager are you using? Is your system mounted

i am using Teds Hero theme, but like the google search widget from "hero Mix" theme better, is there a way to extract it and install on other theme??
You should be able to just pull the apk out of the hero mix zip. And replace it with the one on teds zip and reflash the whole thing. Make a backup before just in case it doesn't work properly
looked for that but there is a GoogleSearch.apk but when i put that apk on my sd card and use appmanager to install doesnt work, but is that even the right APK for search widget?

you're not supposed to install them ... you have to adb push it back into system/app
Or you can just copy paste them into system/app using "root explorer"
dont forget to click the "remount as r/w" button on the top and make sure you reboot when your done.
I have no problems updating or applying a theme to my phone and never have issues w/ framework-res and don't have issues with most apps. I changed the notification icon for Gmail, SMS, Googlevoice, etc., with no problems.
HOWEVER, some .apk's always seem to be corrupt when I touch them.
Example: I use MixZing as my music player and wanted to update the notification icon (play button) to match my theme. So I adb pulled the apk., changed the .png (it wasn't a .9), signed it, mounted /data as RW from within Clockwork recovery, adb pushed the .apk back and...it's broken! Doesn't show up in my app list and when I try to launch it from any file explorer it says "error launching...."
Same thing when I try to update the facebook app, tweetdeck, and Phone.apk (trying to change buttons).
What am I doing wrong? Is there different sign tools that just don't work right?
Did you use APK Manager? Try installing it normally on your phone instead of pushing it in recovery. What happens?

No. But I did try Root Explorer w/ same results. And Root Explorer allows you to mount folders as R/W and set permissions..

Try uninstalling it before installing/pushing it (But installing it should work).

APK Manager is something you use on your computer, not your phone. I posted a guide here, see if it helps you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8450650&postcount=25
Some edited .9 pngs work even without patching it, but most needs to be patched for the app to properly work. .9 pngs are very tricky.
In addition to the above posted suggestion, also try searching the forum on how .9 pngs work and how to patch them. Might be useful for you in the future.

Delete system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
Delete ADW stuff in dalvik-cache, or complete wipe your dalvik-cache
Push the new ADWLauncher.apk to system/app
reboot
if i wiped dalvik-cache will it affect other apps ???
and by "push"
do you mean just copy the apk and paste it in system/app ??
didnt work !!!
isnt there anyway around it by using terminal or something ?
I've done this before by just installing the newer version from the market (it actually has a different name for the installed apk), set as default, then uninstall the old version with Titanium...

Mount RW. Overwrite the file. Then select and install it. Exit and reboot. I do it all the time.

This. You'll have two versions of ADW installed at first, but just remove the old one using TB and you're set.
Try this:
Open the Terminal app and run the following commands in it:
Code:
su
remount
cp /sdcard/ADW.Launcher.apk /system/app/ADWlauncher.apk
reboot
how about setting the permissions?
This is how I did it.
0. Make a backup of your original ADWLauncher.apk
1. Download the newest ADW.Launcher from the Market
2. Using Root Explorer, mount as R/W, in /data/app, find the ADW.Launcher apk file
3. Copy and paste the file into /system/app
4. Delete old ADWLauncher.apk
5. Rename copied file to ADWLauncher
6. (If needed) Long press on file and select Permissions, change Permissions to Read: All 3; Write: User
7. Mount back to R/O and exit Root Explorer.
Enjoy.

Hello everyone!!
So i got myself a WiFi Xoom and rooted it. By mistake uninstalled the stock browser with titanium backup and now its gone from the system. Can any of you please provide me with a flashable file so i can flash it via recovery and restore app?
I tried getting the apk from one of the system dumps on the developer section but when i try to install it i get the message "App not Installed".
did you move the apk to system/app and give it correct permissions rw/r/r?

I tried to copy the apk to the system/app folder using ES file exlorer but it does not let me, and i dont know how to set the correct permissions.
Use RootExplorer, it does all mentioned stuff
Put the apk into this file. Put it in the system/app folder and flash in recovery.

I've Lost My Browser
EDITED:::Nvmd, replaced browser.apk with the ones from system dump, as mentioned in OP, and that resolved my issue of not being able to use the stock browser.
If I try to ADB Push it gives me destination is read-only error...
if I try to use android file browsers like es or ASTRO it just fails because they don't have access...
how can I install my custom .apk?
well I figured out how to install it by just putting it on the sdcard and installing.... but it doesn't work...
sadface
Which apk are you trying to push?
However, probably your system is in read mode only...

use adb remount first to mount system r/w, then adb push to system/app
Ya system is in read-only.
The .apk is one that I generated using the script to turn a batch of .png into a live wallpaper .apk
I can get the .apk to install, and the live wallpaper shows up in the list, but I get an error when I try to use it, the app stops responding and it doesn't work.
I turned the batch into a gif and using an app to make a gif a wallpaper but I would really prefer to make this a standalone .apk live wallpaper installer
