Help with Pushing apps

Ok so I am trying to get friend stream to work in the new fresh rom. I got the apk from damages rom along with the widget. In cmd I successfully push the apps /system/app/ after typing in adb remount. However after I reboot the app is not there. How do I get this to work? Also was wondering how to port a system app from a darchlegend rom to work on any other rom. Any advice is welcome.

Wont work, period. It needs an .odex for both the widget and the normal .apk for it to work in the latest release.

Ok I can pull the odex file but where does that go? Or is that something created when the apk is compiled if so any good tuts for editing and recompiling?

I was kind of hoping TitaniumBackup would give me this one...
I can't find the odex...
But I read from the other Hero forum that Friendstream may require an update package.

Original Apps from Stock (Not A Request)

Mods, please sticky.
I'm getting tired of asking for APKs of stock files, so I have ripped apart the original system.img, and uploaded it to my MediaFire. This should contain all of the APKs from /system/app. Upon request, I'll rip some other ROMs apart and upload the apps from them onto MediaFire.

You can also just download the slidemeroot.zip rom, which is everything stock and copy the apk's right out of the zip file.

But now you don't have to download the entire ROM for a single APK.

I also have all of the stock apk's uploaded on my web server, but it's probably not a good idea to be redistributing them for anyone to download. Something about distribution of copyrighted works... etc...

That would be like killing XDA for hosting custom ROMs modified off originals.

Are you using an odex'ed rom? (are there .odex files in your /system/app/ folder other than the ones you just copied over there?)

It's the ROM. I believe I either unyaffs'd or flashed, and pulled before booting the first time. I just re-unyaffs'd again to make sure, and yes, most, if not all, apps go have an odex.

We'll see what happens, but, like I said, I doubt the mods would ask everyone to remove their cooked ROMs containing any APKs.

I'm looking for the original media (ie: notification sounds and ringtones) can someone point me in the right direction?

How does one install these?

Download one of the stock/ota roms. They're in the system/media/audio folder.

How do I unpack the IMG file inside the zipfile?

[Q] [REQ] Stock Blur Camera APK from .893 Update

If anyone is on the .893 update, I would really appreciate it if they could send me the .apk of the stock camera.
Thanks!
EDIT: For some reason, it will not let me upload the .odex file. Keeps saying failed.

Sure: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18572287/BlurCamera.apk
edit: .odex added: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18572287/BlurCamera.odex

Thank you sir!
From the new build correct? Just wanted to make sure. Shutter speed is MUCH faster...

Yessir, from .893 update I performed this morning. =) And I noticed a huge improvement in shutter speed as well.

Can we take this APK and replace our current one? I'm on the stock ROM and rooted... ?

Should work... just rename or make a backup copy of the stock apk.

I'm evidently too noob to figure this out. I located the camera app in \system\app but it can't be moved or anything. Probably need to force it through ADP I'm assuming?

I believe /system/app is r/o by default, so you'd need to remount the filesystem r/w before you can make any modifications to the files. Root Explorer would probably be the easiest way to accomplish the task at hand, or of course do it all through ADB....

I renamed the original BlurCamera.apk and tried installing the downloaded Camera, but it says the application was not installed. Originally I tried installing it from my SD card, so I tried moving it to system\app to install it, but I receive the same message: "application was not installed." I renamed the original Camera back to its original name, moved the downloaded Camera back to my SD card, and now I can't even install the original Camera.
So now I'm completely out of a Camera app, lol. What did I do wrong?

I've never ran d3blurr3d, just r3blurr3d.
I'm a big fan of the bionic camera now that it's been fixed. Quality is great and it actually takes the pic when you want it to.

Same here. I did try changing the permissions and rebooted. I wound up just doing a clean install of everything because I was needing to anyway. However, I would still like to know why this does not work because I would prefer a camera different from the Atrix camera on Reblurred 2.0.

It's the DX camera on Reblurred. But yeah, I'll reflash this tonight and see if I can get it. I've put several different cameras on different ROMs and never had an issue, so I'll see if I can figure it out.

For the camera to work need to include the odex file as well. Should be BlurCamera.odex

Will this work on a deodexed rom?

Razr camera.apk

i could be wrong here but wasn't the full system dump from razr posted over at android central and other places.... isn't it in that? the camera on my bionic was slow to focus and was giving bad pictures, but after installing the leakes i tested it out last night and it was taking quick excellent in focus pics 8mp in near pitch black on my bedroom.

so...
can you post the apk?

better camera bionic
I also tried the leaked .5.893 and it made the camera awesome!
also improved "cellstandby" alot but made up for it with android OS draining battery back to rooted stock but better camera.

You'd also need to deodex the apk.

Using it right now and its super fast .
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

Both the apk and odex files from the RAZR are in the attached zip. Does anyone know if the faceunlock app will work on Bionic? Also, what is that app called? I can't find it in the system dump.

I tried to install the Razr camera on my Bionic and when I try to install as a normal APK it won't install. I also tried copying both the .apk and .odex files to the system/app folder and changing the permissions and after reboot there was no camera installed on my phone. I now have the stock bionic camera back, but would really like to replace it. What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

if you get this solved let me know, having the same issue but no camera at all
EDIT
This is a solution to it, although the long way it'll work, Unzip what ever rom you're using take out camera and replace with new camera apk and rezip, it's a duct tape fix but works, then reflash rom

Does anyone have a screenshot of the Droid razr camera application? And is there really that much of a difference between the bionic camera and the razr camera?
[edit] Also, would this .apk need to be deodexed in order to install through the android package installer? If so, would it be possible for someone to deodex it and post the deodexed .apk file?

I tried to deodex the RAZR system dump through xultimate and got nothing but errors. I am going to try to install the razr camera with the odex and lib files and see what happens i will let you know.

Doing this seemed to freeze at boot logo. So it didn't work don't try it unless you want issues.

The camera interface looks the exact same. I didn't notice any shutter speed improvement over stock 5.7.893.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

Very observant.
Actually, it is the same camera from the 5.7.893

You might have to turn it to a flashable zip.

Is anyone having issues with replacing system apps?

Like that title says is anyone having issues with replacing system apps? I've tried replacing systemui via root explorer and all i get is forced closes. My next step would be to adb but for 5 plus files it seems excessive.

The ROM isn't zipaligned, so changing any system files will not work. We will have to wait for zipaligned roms
