Reinstalling system apps to a custom rom? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all currently running webstars ultimate rom 3.0 after switching from Doc's BUJP8 v9.0.1.
Loving the new rom for speed and appearance.
However really missing the samsun mobile tracker. It is the only samsung app that I miss but it has come in handy in the past and I would love to have it again if I ever need it.
Can someone please explain how to reinstall this system app. Have tried extracting the mobiletrackerenginetwo.apk and the mobiletrackerUI.apk from /system/apps from docs rom and tried to copy these to the /system/apps and change permissions using root explorer but nothing. Probably doing something stupis wrong or am I missing any additional apks?
Any help much appreciated!!

Anyone have any ideas?

Reinstall Gallery?

Hey guys, I've tried searching around with no luck. I was working a little too fast uninstalling At&t bloatware and accidentally removed the Picture Gallery. I cannot seem to find a way to reinstall it. I've enabled non-market apps and have tried installing a few apk's from the forums but it always results in "application was not installed". Can someone please help me out?
Running stock Eclair
You can't just reinstall a system app like you would a non market app. You have to take the gallery.apk and use root explorer to place it in the appropriate location, which would be system/app.
Thanks. I had actually tried that too with the same results. Perhaps I didn't have the correct apk. Anyone have a specific version for the captivate?

You're still running stock? If so, you're gonna need to copy and paste both of these files into System/App through root explorer.
The apk is the actual Gallery. You have to unzip the other folder first!!!! Then move that file in with the apk.
That worked thanks! Yea I'm running stock. I've tried may ROMs but all the little bugs really bother me. Stock runs prefect and quite honesty, performance increase isn't very significant. Plus, I've customized it quite well to have most of the same features of 2.2+.

The Gallery 3D is actually in the market.
It's called "Gallery 3D" by Rayman50.

[Request] WIFI Xoom stock Contacts.apk

Hello,

Thanks in Advance
Q80
Pm'ed you. Can't figure out how to post it but I can email it to you.
Pm'ed you back .. Thanks a lot
Got your email thanks dude.
But it didn't work .. it says Application not installed.
I don't think it's from the file that you've sent but it may be the way that I have to install it.. Shall I install it normally like what I do with other apps or should I close or consider doing something before that??
Any Ideas
not really, sorry it didnt work. i have 3.1 wifi only version.
i just copied it out of system/app with root explorer.
i would think it would install like any other app. but obviously it doesn't.
maybe check and make sure there isnt a contacts.apk already in system/app?

Yes there is, it's installed in every stock rom and if you don't have it because you used a custom rom you can get it installed by installing touchwiz 3.0 from madteam.
http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(port)-touchwiz-3-0-for-'cyanogenmod7'-port/
It contains a lot more than just AllShare so if you don't want the rest, just delete the apk's in app within the zip before you install it.
Just read the thread in that forum and you'll understand how that works.
thanks for answer

You can just choose the launcher on first reboot.
BTW, the launcher and other things in the zip are removable, just open it with your favourite archive program and remove what you don't want.
Glad i could help though.

[Q] Help me - Replace Calendar apk

I installed the new CM7 rom + Gapps.
Everything worked fine but the CM's calculator & calendar are far from what i was used on my stock 2.3.5 GB rom.
I've asked this same question on CM forum but no one replied so i'll try to ask here.
How can i replace my calculator with my old one?
I've successfully extracted the calculator apk from my old rom and have it on my sdcard ready to be installed.
But for some reason i cant get it to install and i even tried to put it on system/apps dir replacing the old one without success.
i know this is possible because i saw someone porting the same calculator to a nexus phone
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522009)
with the apk from that post i could run and install the calculator but the resolution would not fit my screen
any help?
thank you very much, mornaistar

the calendar.apk that you got from old rom, put it in /system/app, now change its permissions using root explorer as follows
Read permission to all i.e. owner, group and others
Write permission to owner
rest unchecked..
after this reboot your phone.. this should work.. if it doesn't that means the apk is not compatible with CM7 firmware and you can search for some other calendar app that suits your needs
i've tested this and it wont work.
can someone port the apps for CM firmware? i know it's possible since xda users made it for other phones
i was able to run one of those ported apps in my galaxy s but the resolution was all wrong

[REQUEST] AOSP Browser for Stock Android GE

Hi!
Android GE was recently released for flash (so a lot of people is really happy right now) and I KNOW is very early to ask for mods, but if someone could help with this, that would be great (lol)
I want to have the AOSP browser in GE, I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173565 which is the mod for sense based roms that works in HOX, HOX+ and One but it did not work for the GE... so I also tried to use the broswer from the nightly of CM (put in system/apps and set permisions) but no luck (well i had to try :silly...
its just my opinion but I always feel the aosp browser more smooth than chrome or firefox etc, even the stock browser in sense (which is almost the same). maybe i need to wait until a deodexed rom?
well thanks in advance for any help
+1 I definitely agree, the AOSP browser is so much better.

Use root explorer (es file manager), set permission of /system to RW and copy the apk over then restart.
thanks, both methods works, they dont have 64 tabs and incognito mode but its ok, thanks again!!!
I tried both methods with no luck. Running rooted HTC one with GE Rom. Does the rom have to be deodexd?
I used ES file explorer to change permission of system/app to rw, moved browser apk into system/app, changed name of BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex with an added "1", then restarted. After boot, everything is back to normal, as though no changes were made. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Will try deodexer.
I installed it multiple time just with the AOSP browser installer found in the playstore. This i can guarantee that it will work.
Also i copied the sense browser from a sense zip to the system app folder. just set the permissions for both the broser and the sync apk.
worked for both deodexed and odexed roms, maybe a custom kernel with disabled system nand protection is required. Dont know exactly what i did but its working for me

I'm not sure what's going on. I tried the AOSP browser installer from play store. It goes through the steps, but when it asks me to reboot it does nothing. When I restart myself, it's like nothing happened. I'll try doing it with another ROM.
Just in case someone is having the same problem. Version 4.1.2 of the AOSP browser was not working for me but 4.1.1 worked fine.
