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

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.

you can try to push them with adb shell.
adb push /pc/directory/apkfilename.apk /system/app
and then reboot.
Or you can open the zip file, add/remove the ones that you want, sign the zip file and flash away.

Yes I agree with this but some apks are dependent of some other apks so really unsure what apks I can remove safely as keeping only apks which I want will not help I will hve to keep dependents also and I'm unsure. I found dream works very fast if gapps r not loaded so looking fine tune n remove non required gapps!

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!

Long story short, gmail kept freezing on me so I used Titanium to uninstall it and now gmail doesn't show up in the market and the apk's that I download don't give me the option to install them.
Any ideas?
I was able to get the Android email program to sync with gmail, but I still can't figure out how to get the actual gmail program back on.
Sorry, didn't mean to hit "Thanks". Don't know where you got the gmail apks, but try putting one of them in system/app then reboot.
You also might want to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937752 but just run the commands for gmail

I assume you're running stock rooted.
Try this,
1. Download the signed Gapps.zip from here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642189 its in the second post.
2. Now from the zip file you downloaded. Extract the Gmail.apk and GmailProvider.apk. Using root explorer. Copy those files into system/app
(of course make sure you mount r/w)
4. Reboot your nook and you should have Gmail again.
Make sure you back everything up as always.
It worked for me. Hope it works for you as well.

I'd recommend doing what racks11479 said. But to see the system folder, get Root Explorer. It lets you see the deeper folders. Just don't break anything while you are down there.

I got Root Explorer, followed those steps, and nothing. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
You might not have the correct permissions set.
If you are able to ADB to your device. I've modified the honeycomb market install script from "jleecong" @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937752 for the Eclair Gmail only.
All you gotta do is extract the zip to your adb directory and run (double click) "GmailInstall.cmd" and you should be good to go.
**As always *Use at your own risk* and make sure you've backed up.**
Hope this works for you.

Wondering if the gmail from eclair might be the answer to a similar problem I have. Been rooted since version 1.0 and gmail app would sync nicely. Rooted 1.1 using the nookdev instructions and that is working fine except gmail simply doesn't sync unless I go into accounts, reenter my account data and the sync screen comes up and then it'll sync. The android email app works just fine. Syncs seamlessly. So would replacing things help?
You could always google it

Question about your script.... I have a Nook Color that I have rooted and all set up. I'd like to pass it over to my buddy, but need to change my gmail info for his. Would this essentially allow me to do that without having to unroot, restore, reroot then reregister?
I am looking for a way to completely root a device with my B&N and gMail info, then allow someone else to register/set-up the device with their info. Possible?
If you just go into settings and About Device and do a "Erase and Deregister" you should still have root. And once rebooted they will have the option of registering the device for the first time.
They will have to go through the LogicZoom welcome process as well. So you might want to guide them in that direction if they don't know what needs to be done to get youtube and market working for the first time.
I've just done it myself to see if it works and yes it does.
Please use my suggestions as a guide. All actions you take are "solely your responsibility"
Just make sure you do a backup "just in case" before you try this.

Thanks, I will try this again with them. I wish I could be in person, but this is a phone support situation for me (grrr).
From the way they described to me, the "Erase and Deregister" worked for the B&N part but my gmail account was still there. So it didn't completely remove their stuff. Google Talk and the Calendar are still stuck on my gmail and not theirs.
Will try again though, and if anyone else has input I would appreciate it, thanks!

I renamed my the stock Gmail.apk to Gmail.apk.old and the same for the stock GmailProvider.apk.
Then I did as you suggested through Root Explorer. Now I have no Gmail at all in my apps list after a reboot.
I tried to launch it directly from Root Explorer but it says "There was an error parsing the package."
I renamed the new files Gmail.apk.new and GmailProvider.apk.new and renamed old files back to their original. I rebooted and Gmail popped up again in my apps list.
Why did your method for the new Gmail files work for someone else but not for me? What went wrong?
Works 100% on the ZIO with a touch of work.
Since you need about 8Mb of space on your system partition, you'll need to move some apps from /system/app onto /data/app in order to fit the lib and apk.
Use root explorer to copy /system/app/Maps.apk to the root of your SDcard, then use root uninstaller to uninstall Maps.
**make sure you enable r/w access in root explorer.
Run "Maps.apk" from root of your sdcard and instal it like normal. This will install it in /data/app and free up about 5Mb of space on /system.
Remember, this is a beta test. More information can be found HERE.
Directions:
1) Download HC-Music to the root of your SDcard
2) Open with winzip/rar/7z and extract a copy of "/lib/libjumper.so" to the root of your SDcard.
3) Use root explorer to back up "Music.apk" in /system/app
3) open shell on your phone from PC (via adb)
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/libjumper.so > /system/lib/libjumper.so
cat /sdcard/HC-Music.apk > /system/app/Music.apk
exit
exit
adb reboot
After you reboot, just open up "Music".
Things you'll notice:
You'll notice "Jumper Test" icon in your drawer. Pretend its not there. Its some debug console for the streaming capabilities of the player (to connect to cloud, itunes, etc...), but the service is not working, and cricket isnt in the list of compatible carriers.
You'll notice "Sync Music" in your sync settings (under menu->settings->accounts n sync). Leave that unchecked.
I'm gonna try this same process for 2.3 mms

Tried it with the above method. It took but didn't move the MMS. Put it in the /system/app but didn't move the app itself, just made a folder. So I tried installing it straight from the SD card and it works like a charm! Zio a go go with Gingerbread MMS!!!

I'm running Phoenix Unleashed on my Captivate and love it, and while the Gingerbread keyboard is fine, I really miss the predictive text and the functionality of the old Samsung keyboard from Froyo.
Does anyone either know the where I can get the app or the .apk so I can pull it from another source?
I discovered that AxT9IME.apk was what I was looking for, so I uploaded it to my phone. However, it won't install. Can anyone think of a reason why the app won't install or how I can install it? (Before you ask, I have selected the option to allow my phone to install unknown apps.)

Keyboards are system apps, you don't install. Put the apk into the /system/app folder using ADB or root explorer. You may or may not have to reboot to get it to show.

If that doesn't work there might be a lib file in /system/lib for the predictive text dictionary also. All I use is swype and thats how it is with that idk about this one for sure though.
I tried both loading the app and lib files. I tried copying them into the rom file and loading the rom, which failed.
I'm just running a different rom. Life as we know it did not cease.
