Help with Pushing apps

Ok so I am trying to get friend stream to work in the new fresh rom. I got the apk from damages rom along with the widget. In cmd I successfully push the apps /system/app/ after typing in adb remount. However after I reboot the app is not there. How do I get this to work? Also was wondering how to port a system app from a darchlegend rom to work on any other rom. Any advice is welcome.

Wont work, period. It needs an .odex for both the widget and the normal .apk for it to work in the latest release.

Ok I can pull the odex file but where does that go? Or is that something created when the apk is compiled if so any good tuts for editing and recompiling?

I was kind of hoping TitaniumBackup would give me this one...
I can't find the odex...
But I read from the other Hero forum that Friendstream may require an update package.

Fixed - Call Log Mod **FIXED for EB13** Thanks K0nane

Modded the LogProvider to exclude Mms and SMS.
Here you go. Just flash it.

thank you...

DUDE!
That is very nice!!!

Will this work witht he DK17 release? If not, could you post up what you edited in the file orjust do it for us? Thanks!

Would like this change, didn't work on Quantum 1.5 sadly.
Doesn't seem like anything is wrong, anything I need to worry about from the install?
Thanks in advance.

Actually, it sort of worked. It hid sms/mms from all logged days except today (which is when I installed 1.5).
So presumably something in Quantum 1.5's modifications throws this off.

Well I had to wait for a few texts to come in and when they did they weren't in the call log. Another pet peeve erased for me, thanx ;-)

For the person who asked about DK17, that's what I'm on.

Excuse my ignorance, but how do you flash an apk file? Clockwork only sees zips and it fails with App Installer.

Thanks for this , I really dont like texts in my call log

I assumed it was supposed to be named .zip (apks are renamed zips), flashed usin Viper rom v2.4 and still have sms in my logs. Bummer too, since this mod would be sweet

My friend's been really b*tching about this on his AT&T Captivate. Any chance this would work on his phone? Also, it's an .apk file? Do you install or rename .zip and flash via Recovery?

To the people talking about the file extension, it is .apk for a reason because it is a system app. You need to either insert it into a signed .zip with the proper structure (system/app) or use adb to push it to the system/app directory and then reboot.

My guess is that you can push it to /system/app and overwrite the existing LogsProvider.apk

This rocks! Thanks Mammon88! I used Root Explorer from the market and renamed the original .apk with .apk.bak, pasted yours in, and rebooted. Using DK17.
Just curious - what change did you make to the original .apk? I'm thinking of trying to tweak it some more but have not done any programming for, oh, many years. I'd like to retain the functionality of the View By Received/Sent messages without forcing people to see them (maybe by adding a "View by: All Calls" option). Right now your .apk doesn't seem to display messages at all, which is a relief! But, y'know, android is all about choice!
Thanks again! Great work on your ROMs, too.

Using a Captivate
I used Root Explorer to push the new apk into my system/app dir, it looked like everything worked but upon reboot the text message logs were still there. Any idea? I followed the process here: http://simply-android.com/discussion/159/howto-replace-or-restore-apps-using-root-explorer/p1
Thanks!

[Q] RAZR apps on Bionic?

Does anyone know what apps from the RAZR will work on the Bionic? Also, I am trying to find the face recogniton app in the RAZR system dump but can't seem to find it; anyone know the name?

Most specifically, I want the camera to work. I tried installing normally with no avail and also tried replacing the BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex in the /system/app folder and changed permissions to rw-r--r-- but after I rebooted there wasn't a camera app at all so I reversed the process with the stock camera and now have that back.
So, is there anyway to make the camera work?

I personally would like the smart apps... At least the wifi part.... come home, data goes off, wifi comes on

This is the only app I could find that looks like it could be the smart actions app. The apk and odex file are in the zip.

has anyone tried this apk? does it work on deodexed roms

id like to see the music apk...played with it the other day and worth it

There is only the apk in this zip. I put it in /system/app and rebooted but it is not showing up. What to do? I am new to this stuff so my apologies if I missed something.

The profiles for power managment from the RAZR would be great on the Bionic. Locale does not natively support shutting off the cellular data when Wifi is active.
Is the Profile function part of the Zip?

Have ypu tried changing the permissions to "rw-r--r-- ?" )

OK, apparently the first zip file only contained the apk file. This one has both, the apk and odex files.

Does the odex go in /system/app too? I put both there with rw/r/r permissions and rebooted but I don't see the app installed.
EDIT: Also, is this meant to work on deodexed roms?

Yes, the odex file goes in the system/app folder but I don't think it will work on a deodexed rom. Deodexed roms don't have odex files.

I pulled this off this deodexed rom. It's a deodexed smart actions app.

Search for Verizon, then click the link for all apps from developer. It's available through Verizon for free. It will uninstall as well, so you won't be stuck with bloatware if you decide you don't like it. I tried it for a while. It's worth is if your not on the Unlimited data plan.

Here is the link for smart actions. It has been hacked to work on the bionic

[THEMES] WidgetLocker Themes

Just wanted to share all these with you guys. I'm not gonna be able to upload any screenshots because there are just too many.
Zip file contains:
144 WidgetLocker Themes
DISCLAIMER:
I did NOT make any of these themes and take no credit for them! These are simply themes that I have collected over time from around here on XDA and from other various websites.
*NOTE*
If you want to make your own theme, just edit the images in one of the zip files. Rezip and copy/paste to the folder mentioned above. It's really that easy lol.
If you don't know how to install these:
Download and extract the zip file.
Copy and paste all zip files onto your INTERNAL sdcard and make sure you put them in this folder:
Code:
/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/themes
Once you do that, reboot and now you will have 144 WidgetLocker Themes available. Obviously though you have to have the WidgetLocker App for this to work. Which can be found here for only $2.99
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
DOWNLOAD:
WidgetLocker Themes
I will add more to the zip file as I get more collected.

Excellent Hicks!

There was a themes folder inside of the folder you posted. Do I just put all the zip files in that one or do I need to unzip and put the actual folders in that themes folder that is there?

If someone wants to get it from there and rehost it.

Those are the links, please tell me which ones work or not, first time setting it up, just so I know I did them wrong
On another note I used AirDroid app to move them to the right directory, really easy and fast.

Jelly Bean stuff

Since LG won't release ICS, why not skip ahead a bit and start adding Jelly Bean stuff to GB. Attached are some of the things you can use right away. You must have root.
If you don't follow these instructions properly, it's not my fault if you screw something up. Best to make a nandroid backup before you proceed, mmkay?
Boot animation:
Copy to /system/media, permissions 0644. Might look a little weird since it's 640x640, but you can't have everything on the first day JB's released
Play Store:
Install, done. Or, copy to /system/app, permissions 0644.
It's for US, so not all of the changes will be here. Most notably, you can't buy movies out of US yet (the option will not be there).
Fonts:
Extract the fonts, copy to /system/fonts, permissions 0644, rename to DroidSans.ttf (rename the original to DroidSans.ttf.bak or something) or symlink it to DroidSans.ttf. Do the same for the bold and italic fonts.
Added both Roboto and RobotoCondensed, as well as some more. You can only use Roboto or RobotoCondensed at any one time, you can't have your cake and eat it too
Wallpapers:
Extract them, paste them somewhere, open in gallery, set as wallpaper.
Now, doublecheck your permissions. Failure to set permissions correctly may result in bootloops.
After all that, reboot to enjoy.
PS. All of the zips are not flashable zips, don't even try flashing them.

My boot animation.zip is in system/media.I have seen both used ..I'm curious now which would load if I put a diff in each spot...might have to try..
Update: the answer is local/data loaded boot animation when there was one in each spot...however the actual jellybean animation is loading but not displaying right for me ....just some graphics flashing for a sec then black screen til boot...same happened when I replaced file in system media. I think zip is corrupted.
