Footprints- APK/Widget inside for those who want it

So we've found the app/widget now we just need help installing the widget... Any help
-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!!!

Ah bummer, I finally find the Footprints.apk and it force closes as soon as it starts on CM 3.6.5

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

htc camera

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]

Car Home

anyone know where I can download this app, i found it on the Androbin_R_ ROM.

Have you tried taking it from the ROM itself? Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Just checked market, there is one called Custom Car Home,... any good?
Apparently Froyo has it built in,... try extarcting it from a Froyo ROM aswel,... Worth trying enit?

Thanks for taking the time to reply...
it is, but I am just not technically able enough to take it from the ROM,, i would not know where to start.....

Download the Rom you want.
Extract it on pc.
Navigate to system/app/
Copy the apk you want to your sdcard. I think it could be called carhome.apk.
Having the apk on your SD.
Open it with e.g. Linda file manager.
If it works with this Rom it installs fine.
Another way is using adb.
But that doesn't differ in what you get.

Download the Rom you want...... Androbin
Extract it on pc...... Using WinZip/Winrar/7zip

Open it with e.g. Linda file manager.... I don't know if that is free or not, an alternative is Astro File manager from the Market.

Transparent/Blue Gmail!!!!

Here are a a few transparent and blue themed gmail apk"s. Uninstall your old gmail apk then either side load through something like dropbox or push via ABD, then sync it and enjoy!
Screenshots below are of the last two apks, and first is the same just a cyan color, enjoy!
Recently added newest version 2.3.5 Enjoy and hit the thanks button if you like please! Credit goes to Fernando Sor I just changed a few things around and added my own touch.

Love the transparency. The blue looks a bit aqua though. But very cool and much better than original. Thanks

Any pics?
edit: thanks for the pics!

Was going for more of a cyan color, can do whatever anyone likes, thank you

This is a themed standard gmail app, and not a themed gmail for honeycomb app right? Or did I do something wrong?
It doesn't have modules like the normal gmail for honeycomb.

If you've got the time ... I'd love to have a version that with a blue that is 4a92ce. (That is the same as the Moto X's email client and it looks pretty sick on the X).
EXAMPLE:

Unistalled stock then installed either one and I keep getting fc's this was copy and paste from root explorer, can you put the adb instruction, also do I have to rename then to Gmail.apk...??
Thanks

You still have to install the apk not just copy and paste it. You should be able to load through dropbox and install there, it is free in the market, and you should not have to rename it.
Here is directions for adb
go to start-run-cmd
type in cd c:/android-sdk-windows/tools
then adb devices (to verify the connection)
It should say your connected and the specific number of your device
Next if you want to install something place it in the tools folder of the android-sdk-windows/tools folder
Then type this, adb push c:/android-sdk-windows/tools/(whichever you want).apk /system/app/(whichever apk you want).apk
To push you have to type the whole command line an example is adb push c:/android-sdk-windows/tools/vending.apk /system/app/vending.apk
Hope this help, let me know

New Market .apk

Just found this on Android Central
Grab the new market apk while its hot
Either get it from the source link on the post or I've attached it below.
Put it on your SD card and then use file explorer to find it and install.
I just installed it on mine and seems to work pretty good. Nicer look than the old market.

How did I know that the Eris would be one of the first places for new apks.
Thanks!!!

wow thanks will try it out.

imma bout to try it
EDIT: It doesnt install with MP3[SPEED] rom that sux

Just flashed this and all i can say is AWESOME! No bugs as of yet.

Try this:
This should pull the market apk currently on your phone and save it on your computer as a backup:
adb pull /system/app/com.android.vending.apk com.android.vending-backup.apk
Then push the new apk. This should rename the file as the previous apk and push it to your system/app folder:
adb push com.android.vending-1.apk /system/app/com.android.vending.apk
Then reboot:
adb reboot
Then try launching the market.

I am going to load it on a GB and XTRSense5 tonight and see how it works. any one else have any input on this ?

Input about how it runs? I am running GSB 3.7 Odexed and it is very stable. It takes a little time to load initially, but after that, I find the user experience much better than the previous market design.

will do. I'll report back later

I'm pretty new to rooting seen, so I appoligize if this question is dumb. But, on my Eris, all I have is a vending.apk file. So, is this the file that I need to replace with the new market apk?

It should run with either name, but I would make sure that you don't have more than one in there. That should be the one that you replace, though.

It's listed as Vending.apk in your screenshot. Same thing happened on my phone (GSB 3.7), and it worked fine after I replaced and rebooted.

Noob, first time posting...
Came to this site on my phone (via xda app). Downloaded file. Hit "open" and it went through the install process but finished with "Not Installed". Any thoughts.
Rooted Eris, Froyo 2.2.1, CM7, KaosFroyo V39
Edit: Never mind. Did the adb pull/push after flashing GSB CM7. Everything works great.

Has anyone seen this......
I can search the Market for games, books, and movies and find results. When I search for apps, I get no matches for my search. I've tried this with multiple versions of the market and multiple ROMs.
I've got content filtering set to show all.
Any suggestions.

Same here. Works perfect.
