Is it possible to port apps like gmail and market and SMS from froyo to install on non froyo?

Anyone????
dont know.
Since the gmail classes are odexed I'm not sure if an "adb install -r <apkname>" (reinstall) will work.
Maybe you can push both the files (apk and odex) after uninstalling the old...
You can if you have the source. But you don't, so you can't.

Ok so I use handcent for the blacklist feature but when I blacklist someone the messages for that person still show up on stock. I tried Removing the stock messenger with titanium pro. That works except I can't receive any mms after I remove the stock messenger. ... someone help?

Go into the settings on Stock and turn off auto-retrieve, ignore Stock and use Handcent.
Handcent's blacklist only works for itself, to the best of my knowledge.
Ok will do.. kinda annoying I can't remove stock though...

If you have Root Explorer app, you can go into /system/app and remove Mms.apk and it will get rid of your stock messenger and still allow Handcent to work. That's what I do everytime I flash a new rom. Works great!

Or you can do it via adb commands if you dont want to purchase the app. Adb is very simple. Open a cmd window in your /tools/ dir
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm -r Mms.apk
now its removed. If you want to see what other apks are there, just type ls before you type the rm command.
Going to try tonight thanks guys. And just to clarify this will remove stock messenger bit still allow for mms through handcent?

ok used root explorer to delete mms.apk got rid of stock and handcent will send mms but i can not receive and mms though.. very annoying.. if i want a pic message i have to restore then at end of the day delete mms.apk again just because i use the blacklist feature... please someone help... do i need to do a mms fix ive seen around?
I do believe if you do an apn backup while you CAN receive and send mms messages, then delete mms.apk and restore apn's you will be set.
So I found a clear Facebook widget, and used root explorer to switch it out in the system/apps folder, matched permissions and rebooted.. worked fine. But now I tried to do the same exact process to the HtcMusic.apk, matched permissions, and it didn't work. Only difference is that the Facebook.apk did NOT have a Facebook.odex file. HtcMusic does. That's the question does the .odex file mess this process up. Can I delete it or replace it, or should I just leave it be? Any help or direction to a thread would be appreciated! Thanks!

What rom are you running? If it's a non sense rom you can't use htc widgets.
The odex and the apk might not have the same owner, so they can't work together. I'm using an odexed rom too, so I've had that problem whenever I try to replace an htc apk using root explorer. Try doing it with adb instead, by doing an adb push (after adb remount).
Yea im using Eris Lightning 3.02 so it is sense. I'm gunna do a nand restore to before i replaced the htcmusic.apk, cause not only does the stock music player not work now, but my keyboard keeps force closing. After that ill try to push it using adb. Thank you guys for the speedy responses!

Does anyone have a zip I can get of the stock HTC hero phone app? I would like to be able to link contacts to Facebook
I would do it with syncbook but it skips some
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Are you referring to just the stock Dialer or the actual Phone.apk?
Well regardless, I don't have a .zip but I can tell you how to push anything to your phone via adb, which is kinda what a .zip does anyway.
1. Download nfinitefx's Stock ROM.
2. Unzip it on your PC somewhere.
3. Browse through that directory until you find /system/app
4. Copy the Phone.apk (or any other apks you want) into your c:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder on your PC.
5. Go into command prompt and navigate to the tools folder
6. then type
Code:
adb remount
adb push Phone.apk /system/app
adb reboot
This is a little bit harder than having a .zip do all the work for you, but it's still how you can add/push any apk's you want to your phone. Nandroid backup!!! before you do anything cuz sometimes certain apk's need different framework than what you may be running.
I know it's not exactly what you were looking for but hopefully it still may be a little helpful.
nfinitefx45 does have .zips of the Phone+Dialer but I think they will only work on the stock ROM so if you have something else it may not work for you. Scroll down and they are toward the bottom of post #1 above the screenshots: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703267 Again, nandroid backup before you try them just in case it borks your phone.
Basically I just want to be able to sync my fb contacts buy cm6 rc1 seems to be unable to
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Ok gotcha. Sorry for that long response that was unrelated. FB sync to contact pics has more to do with your contacts and account sync apps, and Facebook itself, not the phone or dialer apps.
Try this thread. Haven't tried it myself so can't guarantee anything.

Hi guys,
Trying to install some modified apps with ADB.
When I run the "adb install Music.apk" command, it stats PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES.
So I assume thats saying it's not signed? Well the apps are from Ultralinx and have worked on other devices fine...
can someone assist me and let me know why they're not working?
Link to app source.

Uninstall the Samsung music app first (and reboot). Music.apk has different certificate than Samsung music app. So you cannot install or install -r it.
Or just install Music Mod from the Market. It is pretty much the same as stock Android music app and can be installed along Samsung app.
Try pushing it to system/app via adb or root explorer. Does the job for me

Just in case any of you are like me and prefer the 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) Email app better than the 3.0.0.1 (Honeycomb) Email app, I thought I would share the APK.
Some ROMs have the Honeycomb email app installed by default, and for me it does not play nice when you are not in a good data area or on WiFi.
Warning, this is intended for 2.3+ ROMs, not Froyo...
I installed it by following this process:
1. Use Titanium Backup to uninstall the Email app
2. Use Root Explorer to move the attached Email.apk into the /system/app folder in R/W mode
3. Reboot
4. Goto Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Email to clear all app data
5. Setup your email account settings, and viola!
Someone else may have a better method. If so, speak up.
Hope this helps...
Email.apk is stock 2.3.3
Email.2.apk is what is delivered with CM7 as of 9/20/11
Just tried it...but doesn't seem to show up...now I have no email...rebooted and everything. I'm running GR-12.
When you copied it to system/app did you make sure you had the folder set to r/w?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Yeah...just realized I wasn't in r/w mode so it never actually copied...I'm a little slow sometimes...rebooting now...
That did it! But...I was actually doing an experiment...while it didn't solve my issue, it made me think harder on what to try next and I figured it out so thank you!!!!
Just installed this, and finally my push notification started to work fine again! It had weird behavior on SGS II email apk. Thanks again!

Awesome, guys!
Glad I could help.
I used adb to take the existing file, push it to /system/app/
Then mounted as rw
changed group to root (was showing sdcard)
chmod to 755
mv -p back to sdcard
remounted as ro
Then went to root explorer
mount as rw
ran Email.apk (ran as an installer)
when prompted I selected DONE (open will give FC)
mount as ro
Went to Titanium backup, where Email now showed in backup history. Clicked to install (Only choice was data only).
opened terminal emulator
su
sync
reboot
email now works
I may have done some un-needed steps, but that is what worked for me.
I made the stupid mistake of moving the original Email.apk to my SD card with a mv command and borked the ownership and group ownership, as well as the permissions of the file.
So far all is working great, and email push works just great!
Thanks!

How can you tell what version is installed?
Edit: Got it.
I did your steps, with root explorer and titanium backup pro. I rebooted and everything worked. I go to enter my email and pass and it says force close? Any help?

I think that is the problem.
this is intended for those running a 2.3+ ROM.
Sorry for the confusion

thanks, worked awesome. solved my problem.
I know the warning says this is for 2.3+ ROMs, but is there any way to port it to Froyo?
Froyo uses a different framework. Custom apps like this can't be ported across rom versions.
