[Q] Reinstalling Allshare - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Seems that I've run into a snag here trying to put Allshare back on my phone. I grabbed the .apk from /system/app and have tried to reinstall it using multiple methods. I've tried installing it from the phone (I changed my settings.db file to allow sideloading), I've tried sideloading using the Sideload Wonder Machine on Windows, I've tried installing it through the adb shell using the Windows command prompt and using Connectbot on my phone, and I've tried installing it through DroidExplorer on Windows. All of these methods fail, and I can't figure out why. TitaniumBackup backed up only the data portion of the app, but not the actual app itself.
I would have never figured out any of this had I not gotten bored and tried to set up a Media server for the house.
So, does anyone have any suggestions as to why it keeps failing and how I can get it back, other then flashing back to the stock JF6 rom...

Help installing an App?

I am trying to install something that will read WORD documents. The old Google Apps (from Cyanogen) used to have something, but the latest round doesn't appear to.
I get the error message "install_parse_failed_no_certificates"
I'm using the command:
adb install C:/PassionQuickOffice.apk
Tried a different version of the file and I also tried to install using ESTRONG - no luck
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Not sure if this will work or not but I don't think you can/need to install it.
Just push it to system/app

Sideloading Woes

I'm experiencing an error with sideloading on the Cognition 2.2 Beta 7 ROM. Whenever an .apk is run, it will proceed with install, but at the end say "Application not installed". I've tried numerous apks, installing from both internal and external SD. Anyone have any recommendations?
Have you tried to use Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine? Maybe start off by seeing if you can even push 3rd party
Tried that, didn't work either, it gave various error messages. I was under the impression that Cognition had sideloading baked in?
Is it with literally EVERY apk? Which ones are you trying to install? I had issues with certain AllShare installers on one of the i9000 ROMs, foyer instance, but I had to find a copy that wasn't trying to install it to /system/app

Car home and some test ATT bloatware. Maybe you could link an APK that worked for you and I could try it.
Sideloading is baked in. If it were me, I'd go back to JF6 stock, master clear and start over. (if youre using TiBu, only update apps not data)

Problem installing apps without data plan

I'm having some trouble getting apps onto my phone. I use the Android SDK to run an emulator at the 1.5 level which has the android market app. I use the android market on the emulator to install apps onto the emulator. I backup those apps on the emulator using Astro and I then use adb to pull the backed up app (apk file) onto my PC.
After this I use adb to push the apk file from my PC to the SD card on my phone. I use Astro on the phone to navigate to the file and install it. At this point a progress bar appears and the screen says "Installing..." but it never finishes. I've waited over an hour and still nothing. I get the same result if I place the apk file on the internal memory (/) instead of on the SD card. I even tried installing directly from my PC using adb and it just sits there.
I'm running Android 2.2 on my phone. I tried setting up a 2.2 emulator with the market app on it but was having some difficulty. Somehow I don't think the emulator should make a difference though.
Any help would be appreciated. For you guys out there without data plans, how are you getting apps onto your phones?
Btw I have the phone set to allow installation of non-market applications.
No takers? I know there's gotta be some people out there without data plans. Hopefully I can figure this out as I don't want to have to go back to Windows Mobile.
In case it matters, I'm using the ROM and Jan 14 240x320 nbh file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738612.

[Q] HELP! I deleted tetheringguard.apk

So I deleted tethering guard after I rooted my phone under the impression from some other forum that would allow me to tether freely. Well its quite the opposite, now when I go to the tethering app, it wont even attempt to turn on, neither will any other tethering apps. I found the tetheringguard.apk file online and attempted to re install it to no avail. I have tried, command prompt, this is the result;
C:\Users\RC\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$EXa0.371\data>adb install <C:\Users\RC\Downloads>/<Tetheringguard.apk
Access is denied.
I have tried the APK installer app from the play store, it loads via Sim and when I click install it says "Application not installed"
Lastly I tried emailing the apk to my own email and opening it with my phone, that does the same thing as the APK installer app.
I am brand new at all of this stuff so please be patient, and thanks for the help
Also Im using holiday-dream-x2-Rom.
3rd party apps allowed
usb debugging is on.
Remount the system partition as r/w or download one of the ruu.zips and pull it from there

it wont install like a normal app because its a system app, you have to use a root explorer to copy it to the proper location and then make sure it has correct permissions.
Reflash rom, and only wiping dalvik and cache, and you will have it back.

odd problem with google chrome

So whenever i try to install chrome itll do it then just shows install again. i try apk file and cant open then i try adb install then i get "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]" when the only chrome thing i have installed is chrome remote control. found out also that my youtube and gmail wont iinstall either what i was doing was uninstalling system apps with adb and now i cant reinstall just these 3 apps
Maybe you uninstalled something that is needed for Chrome?
Are you able to reflash the stock ROM?
i was uninstalling system apps with adb didnt know it causes this just did a factory reset and left those 3 apps. since im wanting to play pokego i cant root was seeing how 0c3 update would work. still waiting on getting a new phone though.
