Thanks.. Aren't there a couple of ODEX files in there as well, or will the APK do everything I need?
It depends which ROM you're running. If you have one that isn't de-odexed, then its the same, just repeat it again and change .apk to .odex

Can anyone tell me the Files and ADB commands to push the default IM app to Hero. I tried all the ones on the market and the default one is still my favorite.
It's just IM.apk.
adb push IM.apk /data/app

it pushes fine, no errors, after i reboot, i still see no IM in app drawer
i hate to post this in one of the hero threads, but can anyone give me an idea of how i go about doing this
If you are running apps to sd you may need to push to /system/sd/app instead. Or maybe app_s Also I would try and run the filesystem repair after push just to make sure everything on the sd card partition is copestetic.
There are actually 3 files that need pushing:
IM.apk
TmoImPlugin.apk
ImProvider.apk
I've attached a zip file with all three that I keep as a back up on my PC. This is NOT an update.zip.

Try pushing those 3 files to /system/app_s . That's usually where hero apps go

thanx, will try this when i get home.
I have noticed that a lot of roms have voice dialer and footprints removed. I, one of the few, actually use them.. and was wondering if anyone has these files laying around.
I know how to push files (I think), but is that basically all you have to do? Just push the right files into system/apps or whatever?
Nobody eh? Nuts!
Wow thanks. Will give it a shot later today!
edit: link is broken
Seems to work now. Thanks man!
So do you just push all these files to the apps directory?
I pushed the voice search and dialer apks to the app_s dir, didnt try footprints as i already have it installed... but yeah its contained in the same dir, so give it a shot, back up your stuff in case something goes awry
Well I installed voice diaaler and it somewhat works. Recognizes what I say but force closes when I select a number to call.
Footprints won't even install lol.. via adb or through file manager. Oh well, hopefully they get included in other Roms
I dont have that issue, my voice search and dialer work just fine. These were the commands i used
adb remount
adb push<insert file name> /data/app_s
adb shell reboot

Hmm different commands then what I used. Where are your files located when you push them? Tools directory?
Correct sir, they're in the SDK tools dir
Here's the string I used
adb remount
adb push VoiceDialer.apk /data/app_s
adb push VoiceSearch.apk /data/app_s
adb shell reboot

1. adb push VoiceDialer.apk /data/local/tmp
2. adb shell pm install /data/local/tmp/VoiceDialer.apk
3. adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/VoiceDialer.apk
I ran your commands and voice dialer installed. Will test it a bit.
Tried the same thing wtih footprints but for some reason that didn't get installed. i had to use file manager to go to system/apps and try and install it from there, then it just said can't be installed on this phone.
I am not sure what to do with the odex files. i thought they were created by system when the app is installed or system is updated.. don't really know what to do with them.
origins81 said:
I'm using bcrook's qteknology's hero v1.3b rom port, it's got footprints installed but no voice dialer and search so i just pushed them, also I extracted the footprints apk and odex files. Hope it helps...
Weird...it wont let me attach the zip files...

Hi there,
I have the Vodafone edition of the HTC Magic/Sapphire. Vodafone has a SIM menu which is useful for being able to quickly check your account balance and topping up your phone - but my HTC Magic doesn't have the STK Application on it so I can't use it!
Does anyone have the .apk for the STK application? I can't seem to find it anywhere on the internet...
even if i upload it here, you wont be able to use it.
vodafone is blocking it. i flashed to a hero rum just because of that.
Why would they want to block it? They made the menu on my sim. And how would they block it?? If you have it, please upload it. Its painful without.
STK
here you go
Awesome thanks. This may be a rather n00b q but what do I do with the odex file? Do I have to have root access and copy it to a system location?
copythe extracted files to the sd card and press on the ine with icon.
it will try to install itself.
Haha oops, I only extracted the odex file originally...
Unfortunately you were correct... when I tried to install it, it said, cannot be installed on this phone... how can I circumvent this?
install another rom - as i did
was hoping you wouldn't say that... rooting the phone won't help?
nope. i had exactly the same thoughts.
the good thing is: i have qteks hero rom and its really nicer. android itself is nice. but this rom is even nicer. a bit slower. but nice
if u cant install the apk try to push the apk and the odex file into the apps directory

Ooooh. And by push do you mean using the sdk or just by copying using a file manager?

push using adb from the sdk
So, that would be:
adb push Stk.apk /system/app/Stk.apk
adb push Stk.odex /system/app/Stk.odex

I love the new stable cyanogen 5.0.7 for the G1, I just miss the 3d gallery. I was able to find the 3d gallery and install it just fine, but now I have double gallery in app tray. Is it possible to remove the default gallery, and if so, how is it done? I have already tried the following:
Code:
rm /system/app/gallery.apk

I entered the code listed above to remove the gallery.apk from the system. What ends of happening is the 3d gallery gets removed, not the default system gallery. Is there another method, aside from the code I entered in my original post?

here:
I wanted the 3d gallery back which was removed from test 6, so what i did was unzip test5 and renamed Gallery3D.apk which is located in the /system/app folder to "Gallery.apk" and then used adb to push it back to my phone after installing test 6
adb remount
adb push Gallery.apk /system/app
worked fine for me

Hi Yozpalang,
I am very much newbiee in rooting and after reading this whole thread i didnt got where and how to enter this commands(amd adb remount
adb push Gallery.apk /system/app).
By great effort and loads of reading, i was able to root Cyanogen 5.0.7 Rom to my G1 and its working perfectly. After going through this thread i am also interested in having 3D gallery instead of existing photo gallery. So can u please put the step by step procedure for getting it installed in my G1.

Isn't the gallery.apk also the camera app? Aren't the two tied in? Does the "3D gallery" come with the camera tied in?

Most themes involve multiple apps and usually is best to be flash rather than be pushed via Adb. With pushing u would just push the themed apps to ur phone
Here's how to push apps via adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb push BlahBlah.apk /system/app
But as PapaSmurf said above, most Themes involve multiple .apks and even some framework files too, and most devs have created flashable .zips for their themes, so flashing the .zip is the easier and better way to add a theme to your setup.
ok so to make it flashable... all i have to do is convert it into a zip file.?.?

Best bet is to dl a theme of some sort and replace the apks with the ones u want to flash and then delete the ones u don't want. Then resign the zip with avabox
Here is how to push multiple apps at once.....
create a folder anywhere and name it anything you want. I'll name mine system
inside there make another folder and name it app
put all your apps you want to push in the app folder.
Now go back to your system folder and while holding shift right click on an empty space and select open command windows here.
type in
Code:
adb remount
adb push app /system/app
This will push all apps in the app folder. You can also do with with framework. Just push to /system/framework
After you push apps you will need to wait while they all get loaded and setup even after the push process is done.
