Here's the apk if some one wants to try. Its not a flashable zip. Extract it then install the apk.

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

Not a fan of Miren Browser. I prefer the ICS.

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.

[Q] New Music App (honeycomb?)

so the new music player supposedly to be released with honeycomb is out via apk. anyone been able to get this working on cm 6.1?
I've tried installing it via terminal but only force closes. Most likely because its made for hdpi devices and not mdpi
I heard somebody had got one version of it working on their slide, not sure of the rom. Probably CM6... Except it had a problem with draining the battery.
Unless uhh, I'm delusional. But I think that's what it was.
When i had the apk, n tried opening it on astro wouldnt show the apk. Well it would show but would tell me 2 extract it only. Wouldnt show me th eicon of the music player to install it.

Try it on gingerbread it doesnt appear to function prior to 2.3. Atleast on other phones it works on 2.3 only.

My guess is that you're right, because now that we have the RC0 for CM7, I tried installing it on there and still no result.

Gotta push it via adb so it can replace stock music player..or make a flashable .zip ....it works but drains battery like crazy

I've tried several methods... adb push, copying via root explorer, etc... no luck. Not sure what else I can do, it just refuses to open once pushed.

Apk install

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?
Sent from my G-Tab using Tapatalk
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.

[APP][2.3.4/2.3.5] Cyanogen Mms.apk working on Stock Rom

I managed to get the Mms.apk from Cyanogen working on my stock deodexed rom. Settings works perfectly. All I did was compile against the stock sources, and voila, it all works.
I have only tested it on my Rogers i9020a Nexus S, running 2.3.4. Let me know if you have any issues.
I have attached both an apk for package installers, and also a zip for cwm. I highly recommend making a backup of your existing Mms.apk before trying this one, just in case.
Sweet! Thanks for this.
So you decompiled and recompiled? Can u explain more?
i grabbed the latest code for Mms from the cyanogen project on github, and i just replaced the stock Mms source with the one from cyanogen in the android source. i then compiled it, tested it on my phone, and it worked!
Oh ok. Nice job! Works great on Oxygen 2.2.1
Works on bugless and installed fine for me normally, thanx!

Noobish question, what exactly is the difference between this Cyanogen MMS.apk and the stock MMS.apk?

The Cyanogen MMS is more configurable. You can toggle between the standard white background and black background, you can change the font size, SMS split options, change the attachment save folder, custom user agent and other things.

After updating to latest bugless release installing isn't working anymore, it keeps going back to stock after a reboot. I used root explorer to delete stock and stuck the apk in system/apps and matched permissions and that worked.
Quoting myself is odd but I wanted others to see both of my posts together.

i'm pretty sure you have to be rooted to use this, as i don't think you can get at the Mms.apk when your phone isn't rooted. i could be wrong on that. anyone else know for sure?

The OP has a zip for clockwork recovery so using it without root should be OK but you would have to unlock the bootloader and fastboot flash clockwork first which is hallway to root so just take the plunge lol

Imho the stock white-theme just doesn't fit in with the rest of the UI.
ok im confused...I flashed it in CWM and it didnt change anything
so... I renamed my MMS.apk to MMS1.apk then installed the new one and again, nothing. Am I missing something? lol

it looks essentially the same as the stock MMS.apk, but when you go to Settings, you have the option of changing the background to black, and changing the font size, etc.

Gallery

I do not like the new gallery in ICS. Is it possible to revert to the old style gallery?

QuickPic
One of the first things I do with a new rom is delete Gallery and install Quickpic, which is 264388x better.

What rom u guys using? CM9 and peters roms are hybrid of official and sdk gallery is slow and scrolling is not smooth compared to roms build purely off official release
Lot faster and very smooth

I'm running vhgomez's 1.3 at the moment, but it doesn't really matter. Google gallery has been outdone by Quickpic since the early gb roms.

If you still have your sdk rom zip, you can extract the apk and try to install will the new rom.

Use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer Free to copy the apk, navigate to System/App, mount as RW, paste the apk, set permissions, then reboot.
If it doesn't work after that, then the app probably needs specific framework structure found in the original rom. Some MIUI apps are like this and won't work with other roms.

The only problem with quickpic is that it will not sync with Google account. The stock ICS gallery is poop! Quickpic is awesome no doubt, but it could be better.

[ASK][CM7] LG Email app on CM7

Hi all,
I'm now using Temasek Kang 70/CM7. Can this ROM uses LG Emaill app? I really miss this app
Thanks!
Hmm, you have "normal" e-mail app on CM7 which IMO is better than the LG one. Is there anything missing in this app that you need the LG one?
Try to copy from /system/lib, there are 2 .so files that also need to be copy else than the apk (if im not mistaken..) something named EmailCore.so

Well stock Android email couldn't do this (or can?):
- Images put on email body instead of attachments
- Zoom in/out >> this one is really important
Currently I use TouchDown - so far soo good though, well, still free on trial period
