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.

are their any apks floating around with LWPs like neural network or nexus or galaxy? They were on kaoslegendary but they were buggy, so im now on extROM and LWPs run very smooth, but i cant seem to find an apk for the ones i like. im not a fac of nexusmod, it FCs on extROM.
I'm wondering the same.. I can't seem to find much either.

i will try and pull them out of kaos legendary and post them up here (if possible) but don't get your hopes to high
EDIT:can't find them in kaos legendary (going to try to find them in the nexus one froyo files)
EDIT#2 cant find them there either (sorry, try someone else)
go to theunlockr.com and download the rom eris_LP_0_1.zip and there will be a live wallpapers.apk file and install that file. and they will be the original files there
Here's the .apk extracted from hotwingz2180's link, so you don't have to download the whole 100mb file.
It added the stock wallpapers to my list, but I got force closes when I selected them. Maybe you will have better luck.

This is a customizable Nexus background.
You can choose from themes and backgrounds.
It is a great app.
I love ebuddy on android, it's better than the official chinese MSN I posted a few weeks ago but I am sick of silver, white and orange. I am unfamiliar with how to get the apk files from apps installed from the android market.
Could someone, anyone please provide me with the apk file for ebuddy 1.9.1 (the most recent) so I can do some colour variations?
Cheers.

www.developer.android.com
Install the Android SDK, open Command Prompt and write:
Code:
adb devices
adb pull /data/app app
Or if you know the .apk name
Code:
adb pull /data/app/apkname.apk
That will create a new folder called app in your /tools folder with all your apps.
Ah cheers man, done it
will post some colour variations asap.
Any idea why when i repackage the files as a zip then rename as an apk it fails to install?
I have re-signed the apk but it still wont install, any ideas why?

Better if you use apk tool: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Decompile: apktool d name.apk
Compile: apktool b name
Hmm still doesnt work. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

"drawable-hdpi-v4/chat_orange_back.9.png"
"drawable/chat_orange_back.9.png"
"drawable-hdpi-v4/chat_gray_back.9.png"
here's the zip file, if you can tell me what I've done wrong I'd really appreciate it.
Hmm..I let it compile, but fails to install the apk..
Hope someone much expert than me can help you

Download APKManager and you should be good.
EDIT: Didn't see the answers below mine for some reason ... I'm not at my desktop right now, but if no one has checked it by the time I get hope I'll see if I'm any help.
If you're just changing pngs, try to just extract the apk then zip it when changed. Ie. Don't decompile it
Do this using apkmanager

no idea why your file wont install...
I decompiled a fresh version of ebuddy, compiled back and installed, no probs.
But, for exchanging some png´s only, that´s what I do:
- take a fresh original version (v1.9.1 attached)
- open com.ebuddy.android-1.apk with 7-Zip
- copy/paste new png´s
- close file
- sign
- install
I've recently moved over from Acer's Liquid E phone to the Samsung Captivate. Nice upgrade, however; the stock app News and Weather is not available on the stock Rogers Rom or the Cognition 4.3 Rom that I have now installed.
I have tried several different apk's, but to no avail. They install, but i get FC's as soon as i try to add the widget to my homescreen.
Does anyone have a solution to to this problem, such as a working apk?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. How do I 'grab' it? Do I need to extract it from the rom?

You can't install it, you have to place it in the /system/app folder in the new rom (on your phone, replacing the one that doesn't work)
Use root explorer to place it.
Then restart your phone.

Oh so nice! I used Super Manager from the market to move the file from my sd card to the /system/app folder. Super manager was a little quirky to get root permission, but it worked after force closing.
I didn't even have to reboot!
Thanks for your help everyone.
Now I can keep track of each little article about the playoffs -
Boo yaa!
Best news customizable news app that ive found.
Now, how do I mark the thread as solved?
I moved over from the Acer Liquid E as well. While the Captivate is faster, it runs out of RAM faster since the Acer had the full 512mb available to the user and the Captivate only allows about 340mb.
Otherwise the Captivate is an upgrade in every other aspects!

Hello,
While I tried to install an old version of contacts on my xoom. I uninstalled the stock contacts.apk using TB and tried to install contacts 2.2.2 but fails to do so. Thus, Can you please provide me with contacts apk for HC 3.1?
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?
anyone have this or can tell me how to install it?
the one thing i really miss in revolt and gingervolt is the stock alarm/clock app. much better app, imo.
found it in the v4 zip provided by mt, but can't actually get it to install. no idea if this is because it's a different version and it doesn't work in gingerbread, or i need to delete the deskclock.apk that comes with gingervolt, or what . . .
i asked about this sometime back on the revolt thread and the general answer was "just find the apk and install it", but can't get this to work . . .
any advice?
thanks
Wow, I love that app too, it is by far the best alarm clock that i have used and I have also asked for the apk. Won't someone hear our cries!

Try pasting the below file into system/app folder on your phone. You have to use something like Root Explorer to do this, and you must check the r/w box in Root Explorer so that you can paste the apk into the system/app folder.
Don't try directly installing it, just paste it into the folder i told you. I don't know if this will work, because I currently am trying to get the OTA to come, and can't test!

Anyone get this to work? I, too, am interested in having the stock clock/alarm/timer.
I think KOG has all the original apk
