(Re)Installing Stock Apps - can it be done? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Just installed Paragon 5.1 on my phone, and had a question...how do I reinstall stock apps? I really liked Samsung IM that shipped on the Rogers ROM, for instance - however when I try to run it after having "reinstalled" it (moved the apk to /system/app) it just says that the Seven service is unavailable. Is there an easy way to reinstall these apps on a custom ROM? Or am I outta luck?
PS. I tried searching the forums first, but searching causes an FC on my phone for some reason.
Thanks!

Actually, you seem to be in luck. In the themes & apps thread, Trusselo posted the deodexed versions of those .apk's. You should be able to drop the seven.apk in your ROM and have it work again. Here's the link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960269

Darchdroid like a2sd

Darchdroid 2.7 has an app2sd option that is applied to only new apps installed. Thus leaving the current apps where they are. there is also an option to move the apps in the manage apps. Is there another ROM running a similar type of a2sd? I havent found one. Some of the apps I use dont support JIT so I am unable to use the Darchdroid ROM. Any help would be appreciated.

In setting > applications > manage apps.. you can manually move apps to sdcard by selecting "move".
I think only ones stored in data/apps (3rd party apps) can be moved doing that method.
That's the option I'm looking for in a ROM other than Darchdroid. I've tried 3 others with no luck.

Ohh yea no other rom will have the option. They are all htc based roms, and no one has tried building them into the settings like that.
Thanks thats what I thought.

[Q] Confusion over market...

I was running Cognition for a while, and found in market a "quickoffice for captivate". Installed it, used it, worked great.
Re-flashed to Continuum, which is an I9000 based ROM, and now a search for quickoffice for captivate gives me nothing.
Is there some setting in the market based on hardware ID or somethign that's blocking me finding this stuff? If so, what are my options? Some app that enables different markets, or changes some string somewhere for identifying the type of phone? Or what?
Thanks for any tips.
Download galaxy s tools and rub the market fix. (it blocks apps that are not "compatible" with your phone but the fix lets you see all ) hope this helps

Or you could go to the Cognition zip at system/app and copy the quickoffice.apk to your new rom.
or just use this apk
I tried the SGS tools market fix. Didn't change anything. I still can't find it. I'll try the apk. I just was hoping Ii wasn't missing out on other good stuff because of market limitations.

[Q][Solved]Why are alot of apps not showing in the market?[Solved]

Hello,
Ever since I updated to CM7. I've run into the problem that certain apps aren't visible in the market on my phone. they are present on the online market but I'm unable to install them.
Does anyone else have the same problem ? and has anyone found a solution?
(Personally I'm running Wgspoelstra's v2.9 (based on nightly .29))
Problem is solved!
solution is posted on page 2 by NL_B!
I can't find Vendetta online in the market either, and i'm running stock (rooted)
hmm I had no such problems on stock just on 2.3.4 CM7
That's because the app isn't compatible with your device (in theory).
But most of the time, that's not true. Just search the apk using other ways and install it with your favourite file manager.
Vendetta is only for tabs btw

Then, maybe it's a region problem.
I can't help.
Well i cant find the apk on the internet so i cant push it to my phone to try
Can you find it in the market? Its called tweakers.net

I'm using the Spanish May version of the stock rom, rooted and installed yesterday.
I can find the app in Market.
Check your "Market" parameters
Maybe you have enabled "content filtering" by mistake as I did once causing a lot of apps not to be displayed...

What you need to do is install google apps one more time. http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/. Use the 20110307 Universal, download it and install it from recovery like how you install the CM7.
I'm familiar with this problem. WG forget to include some components from the google apps.

Use Eris Market Fix (if you are rooted). Worked perfect for me. You can find it market.

Thanks,
I gave it a try, at first I thought It hadnt worked so i rebooted the phone and read the site and it said it would work after the 2nd or 3rd market 'start' and it actually did! awsome
Hi eniux, actually the best way to reset the market (in case it won't download, happened to me couple of times) is to clear the market data.
Go to settings, applications, click on market, clear data.
If you enter the market it will ask you to agree with terms, condition, etc. After this everything will work as it should.

VVM/My Verizon/Flash 10.2 all for GB (Updated 7/20)

OK, so I'm putting these up all in one place. This way you can stop asking for them in various threads. I'll add others as I discover need to add them.
My Verizon only works on VZW based ROMs.
6/27 Only works with PlainJane v3 AFAIK 6/27. GB ROMs will need to wait for a new base leak most likely.
6/30 Update - Older version works again. Download MyVerizon.apk for the older version that works on most newer ROMs. the com.vzw.hss.myverizon-1.apk will only work on the MR2 based ROMs.
VVM (visual voicemail) - Works on all versions of everything as far as I know. It also fixes the notification issues that people are having with voicemails on bamf roms. (your account must have it enabled for it to work, $3 a month.) - Apparently doesn't work with the Thunderstick ROM or CM7 1.2. Not sure what got changed in this most current build, but it definitely broke VVM. Thunderstick has some conflicting files baked in that break it.
Flash 10.2 edited for use with hulu.com as well. If you don't use it for hulu you won't see any difference. CM7 users rejoice? Just make sure you don't accidentally update it via market or you'll lose in browser flash video again and need to re-install this.
If you're having issues with a particular file, please post what ROM you're running. I'm trying to narrow down possible culprit ROMs.
If these files help you, don't forget about the "Thanks" button
Enjoy.
6/25 - Re-uploaded VVM.apk since a couple people seem to be having issues with it. I even deleted it off my phone and re-downloaded it via this attachment to check to make sure it went through properly. Since there are only the 2 people commenting that it didn't work out of 100+ downloads of the file, I'm going to assume that something happened on your end not mine (make sure you have unknown sources checked in your application settings and/or re-download?), but re-uploaded and tested nonetheless.
6/26 - Had to pull My Verizon due to an update today that breaks it for us. No current working version known for Thunderbolt.
6/27 - Ok, so the structure is there in the MR2 froyo update (plainjane v3) so I'm putting the current apk up. I need to figure out what i need to strip out of MR2 to make it work for other ROMs.
6/29 - Added Skype
6/30 - Changed Skype File location to Fyels.com for more bandwidth.
6/30 - Re-Posted the older My Verizon APK. No idea what VZW is up to on their end, but it no longer prompts for update locking us out. We'll see how long that lasts.
7/5 - Fixed Broken link for skype. Added bold text to netflix description to make it more obvious that it doesn't work on unrooted/froyo phones...
7/8 - Added Flash 10.2 (is also edited for use with hulu.com) for CM7 users.
7/20 - Removed netflix. It is now natively supported.
7/20 - Updated VVM to newer build version.
8/5 - Removed skype. Natively supported.
Good post. Good idea.
My Verizon app not working on my stock T- bolt. Pop up says not supported on this device. Did you mean all *rooted* Verizon based ROMs?
This is great, and I'ma let you finish.... but where's the Hulu+? #kanyeshrug

Hulu plus is not currently supported on the tbolt (hence i won't put it in the op til then). If you want to mess with it, here's the apk. You can manage queues etc but you cannot play video. You will get a "device not supported yet" type error. You may be able to edit the build.prop to get it running by tricking it into thinking you have a different (supported) device but the idea to this thread is to not hack/edit things to get them working.

Not on the market for T-Bolt, and sorry...I missed the GB in the thread title (linked here from another thread).
At the risk of being accused of threadjacking, somebody saw my post and sent me a link for a MyVerizon app that works on a stock T-Bolt. (Thanks Zinsko!) So in case somebody makes the same mistake as me and wants the same answer, It's here

I don't trust apps that I don't pull myself. Someone in that thread noted that that apk got flagged by Norton (mine doesnt). Just a heads up.

I had my concerns, but my Lookout Mobile gave it a thumbs-up, and it seems to work as it's supposed to. But thanks for the warning.
Tried installing vvm but no dice...tried installing as a apk tried dropping in system app tried renaming it. all I get is app not installed do I need to change permissions?
Anyone have luck with the VVM APK? Can't get it to install at all. Using BAMF 2.1. Tried a straight APK install and just dropping it into the sytem/app folder via root explorer.

And yes, I did change permissions. Would really love to get this working, as I have to use VZW VVM for work. Thanks.
All I do is install it like anything else. Looks like this.
Make sure you have unknown sources checked. I'll reupload it when I get home if people are still having issues. I've installed it on every version of bamf that didn't include integrated Vvm and cm7.

Won't install or won't run?
I am very happy that this is thread came out cuz I've been tryin to leave Froyo but those 3 major apps were an issue w/GB and it looks like no more issues. Am on the latest Gingeritis and all those apps work anyway so I'll cnfirm the truth about this thread once I decide to test the other GB roms again. Great thread though OP. Much props to you. If you can somehow make the HTC messaging widget bug leave GB as well, You'd be even more of a hero
When I try to launch the My Verizon app on Bamf 3.0 RC3 it says there is an updated version of the My Verizon app in the market. If I select upgrade, it launches the market, but can not find the app. If I select cancel, it closes the My Verizon app. Is anyone else having this problem?

[Q] Vanilla MMS?

So my biggest gripe with my phone from day one is the moto messaging app. Now that we have root I am trying to install the vanilla asop app.
I have tried pulling the app from my og and installing in /system/app and setting permissions right. Upon reboot the app is installed however when you try to run it it just FCs
I also came across this link http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/15/download-new-mms-apk-with-custom-settings/ which I believe is the same mms.apk used in cm7 right now. I tried both sets of instructions, using root explorer and adb. Both give me the same result as before with FC.
Thoughts? Ideas?
I have tried with and without the moto messaging app installed as well.
bump? Anyone have any idea?
