So i took the system dump from the nexus 1 froyo package because there are a few apps i wanted that come stock with the nexus. When i try to install them though, it says problem parsing the package. How do i get them to install?

Try root explorer or adb and place them in the proper directory
/system/app - system apps
/data/app - all others
Ive already done that and it doesnt work. Ive already put a new launcher in the system/app direcrory and done away with touch wiz. I did it through root explorer. But the other apps dont work even after placing them in the directory. Do I also need to place the odex file there too?

Well that would depend if the rom you are using is De-oxed or not. If it is then it wont work no matter where you put them, if it is not then yes. No promises that they will work at all sense you are using HTC based apks on a samsung device. As long as none of them need the htc framework to work you should be good

Im actually not using a rom. Stock froyo on my device. I like the battery life much better. I wanted it to be as pure google as possible. So i removed touchwiz, all the samsung apps and widgets, and all the att apps. Its very snappy and looks very pure google. Only thing is the music player, calculator, calendar, and contacts apps. I wanted stock versions of those.

Hello fellow xda members. I had a problem the other day. I installed sgs tools and tried downloading a different launcher. It loaded the launcher fine but I wasn't satisfied. I tried restoring it but it gives the error "folder not found." I was wondering if anybody knows how to reinstall the built in default tw launcher and if I can possibly restore the layout.

I'm sure you could find the apk with a search.
Are you running a custom rom?
No, I'm runnin default android 2.2 froyo. Rooted, but nand backup doesn't work either. A few months ago, I tried backing up with rom manager, but after rebooting, their still wasn't any backups availible to restore. When I boot into system recovery, it doesn't even open cyogenmod reovery.

I've been using the gingerbread launcher from the market and I really like it. Just putting it out there to think about it.

The one from the market is super easy. And if you accidentally delete it, it's there to reinstall
This is the one from my phone. Dont know if it is what you are looking for as i am currently running Continuum, but good luck.
I think you might need the .odex file as well since I recall seeing that you are running stock 2.2. Did you delete that file?
I'm not sure. How do I check?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You can use Root explorer or a similar app and navigate to system/app. See if there are .odex files for the corresponding apk's. If the one for the launcher is missing than that would cause the issue. What happens when you try to run the launcher? does it just force close?
edit: I was able to find the apk and .odex file from a stock 2.2 build. Just drop it in hopefully this works. Just unzip and extract the files manually.
I can't find it. All there is is the .odex for the tw launcher wallpaper

Just GB launcher.http://www.4shared.com/file/p_kJVC-_/launcher2-Only.html
This replaces your launcher2.apk with a stock launcher2.apk
Works fine for me but install at your own risk. And do a backup first.

I have found out how to turn the toolbar black. To save time/trouble I asked someone if we could use their systemui.apk. I will release a second version with that as an option when I get the ok.
Thanks for this, been using modaco gingerbread launcher on the market but this one has a much faster app drawer.
Also I just unzipped and installed it no need to flash it.
Flashed three times.. no error during install... still only motoblur launcher... I see the file under system/app... any recommendations?

Using root explorer go to /system/app. Then mount r/w. Then rename blurhome2.apk to blurhome2.bak(to be safe) then(this is important) do not leave rootexplorer(you have no launcher currently) find where you have the download for this launch and go to it and click it and install it. That should do the trick.

when i renamed blurhome2.apk to the .bak version I kept getting a FC on the home application repeatedly, and it wouldn't let me back out. I used adb to rename the file back and just installed using the ASOP launcher app. worked like a charm!
It's good to see a piece of stock GB!
Thanks for all the help!

Wouldnt having ADW or GoLauncher enabled at the time stop the force close issue until the stock one is installed? Does Home Switcher recognize it as installed once you get it all done?

When I loaded a Quick Contact widget onto the screen it seemed nothing happened. Then I realized they were invisible. I could long-hold (guessing where they were) and drag them to the recycle bin to delete the invisible icons. Weird, huh? Any recommendations on a cool contact widget?
Also, just an observation.. I was dicking with redoing my screen layout and was in landscape mode.. all of a sudden the launcher crashed and just for a few seconds I could see the motoblur launcher. The stock launcher quickly re-started and was working normally again.
By installing through the apk is it possible this launcher is just an overlay? The OP said it would replace the launcher, but I bet that's only during a CWM flash.
...
Because you couldn't get it to work with cwm I am not sure. I actually replace the file on mine. I don't touch the blur stuff. I always work from a fastboot flash, reset and and fresh root.
New post on OP. Black status bar and such.

Is my d3 a bad egg?
Scrolling through pages is really unsmooth for me. All stock launchers are like that for me. Obviously LP is butter for me but it seems like none of you have this problem...
All non stock launchers have caused issues for me unless you can actually change kernels and other system files. On CM on my droid Inc and inc 2 it was very easy to swap and it didn't cause issues.

i tried and could not get it to work, i dont know if the file was corrupt from mikel719 i re downloaded and tried it 2 times and still no luck. I used root explorer to move the .apk to system/app, set permissions, rebooted with no luck. Im not all that smart when it comes to this stuff but im sure there is someone out there that could tweek a few things to get it to work. I also tried to just click on the apk and click install and got the "problem parsing application" or whatever error thats why im thinkin the file may be corrupt? idk!
I'm not all that knowledgeable about the Android system yet on a programming level, but it probably requires resources that aren't currently in GB.
I love the ICS browser as well, but sadly I don't think it's possible to add to gingerbread.
Got it to install but force closes.

Yeah, the framework doesn't match. They've done a lot of changes to the UI so I suspect that's it. I tried when the system got dumped. Now am running an almost functional port.

If you're going to use a different browser, use Miui's (or Miren). They're much, much better than the semi-crappy ICS browser.
do u have any idea were to get the miui browser.apk ? that would be sweet

You could extract it from a rom zip. Not sure if the browser would actually work - Miui Notes wouldn't work with CM7.
Miren on the market is essentially the Miui browser, with very minor differences.

Download and unzip XT862_Blur_odexed.zip
If you still have the stock Blur latinIME.apk then just replace that with the new one.
Set correct permissions (rw-r--r--). You're done so reboot.
But, if you did replace the stock keyboard, put the latinIME.apk and latinIME.odex in /system/app/
Then put libjni_latinime.so in /system/lib/
Set correct permissions for all files

If anyone has a rom based on the Droid 3 [XT862] (MavROM, DarkDroid, Liberty etc.) then follow the XT862 Blur Deodexed directions and replace all three files.
Other variants (XT883, etc.) follow the XT862 directions
If this doesn't work for you, let me know.
Note: These zip files are NOT flashable
And as always, backup your files
It has become apparent that this is not working for many people, and I don't know why because it is working perfectly for me. Anyways, I advise you not to try this unless you have a backup of your original files and if you can get your orig. keyboard back.

You won't be able to just install them because they're system apps ... You'll have to manually push them into system/app using a file explorer. Alternatively you can put them in the same folder in whatever custom ROM you use and install them that way.
I would like to know if the HTC music app works on the GE Rom. Camera and music are the only two things I can't do without from a sense Rom.
but it's ok to eat fish cause they don't have feelings.....

Installed the music player on 4.3 and it force closes as soon as you try to open it. So it looks like it will only work on Sense ROMs.
