Okay... I factory reset my Samsung Galaxy S. What I forgot was that I un-installed my default keyboard through titanium backup... And I didn't back up because it wasn't working. My phone is still rooted which is good. I am running 2.2
Is there a way to install APK files from the computer into the phone? :/
I know for sure that it's possible on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, I used it myself, it's called flashtool. Is there a similar program for the computer where I can install applications into my phone?! Idk what to do! D;
Download mode doesn't work. And ClockWorkMod doesn't either!
Any help is appreciated!!!
Why do you want to un or install thos Keyboard???

You can copy and install apk files using adb: "adb push" to copy and "adb install" to install.
I thought install at adb is only for zip files? ??

I un-installed because I don't like stock keyboards. And since I un-installed, when I factory reset, I had no keyboard to use.
Ah kayy now i underatand

I have always put the apk I wanted to install on my SD card and in 'My Files' went to the SD card and clicked on the file, easy peasy. I have never used any other program to install apk's.
No keyboard is needed, only the touch screen on the phone.
Actually, I keep all the programs I use on my phone on my SD card in a folder called Apps and whenever I flash my phone I go to the Apps folder and click away until everything is installed, takes less than 10 minutes, and it's faster than going to the apps market all the time.
If you need a good keyboard, I use this one, give it a try.

Dw! Fixed it!
I put bluetooth on on my two phones. Sent APK over and installed. SAVED! Please close this thread.

OK - rookie here - how do you install a .apk - I've downloaded one to my computer but don't know the next steps. The manual is silent and I think this is such a basic question that search on the forum didn't help.
Too bad there wasn't a basic FAQ for us newbies.
Thanks.
Jack
Connect your phone to your computer, drag the apk to your phone, use a file explorer on your phone (estrong) etc, to find the file on your SD card, click on it and it will give you an option to install it

You could also just use HTC Sync that came with your phone and push the .apk with that. It's how I installed Swype.

Hi, I´m using Darky´s Gingerbread ROM and there isn´t any "Write and Go" application.
I want this application back because it´s really easy to post something to the facebook wall. Could you please someone copy this application from the system and put it here for download for me?
EDIT: Please I need it :/ the installer apk from /system/app would be just fine

I have got it from XWJS5 in Romkitchen.
Thanks, but it seems it isn´t working for me. I get "Application not installed." error message :/
I think you have to copy it directly in /system/app/ with rootexplorer (after mounting system R/W)

I tried it, it doesn´t copy anything.
Try to download it from Romkitchen as an update.zip then flash it with CWM!
quick question Gerusz,
when i goto romkitchen, click on galaxy s, then on generate, then on the apps tab, then select only flash and go, it tells me that if i dont select a launcher my phone wil be unusable. How to i create an update.zip that ISN"T trying to replace my entire ROM?
thanks in advance!
Hey I have the same problem, using darky rom and i couldnt find this app anymore. Any solution yet? been searching for quite some time
I know this is an old thread, but just thought that you guys on darky ROM should know that all of these apps are available and installed on your phone on your SD card. They will be in a folder for darkyROM and they will be saved in system/apps within that folder. You use and always should use the darkyROM tool available from the market and it will add or remove any system app you want and it backs them up (so if you remove something you shouldn't you can re-install again) and also it does the same for user apps too. It has now been suceeded by the darkyOTA application though which provides Over The Air updates for ROM related stuff. All support and info is located on the darkyROM forums to check out
Hi!
I downgraded from ICS 4.0.4 IMM76K to 2.3.6 GB.

I have the eps backup file on my sd card, i copied it to my root phone dir but it still didnt solve the problem!! I tried EfsPro as well, didnt work for me! Im a noob so i may be missing something. PLZ HELP ME PPL!! :-((
I'll highly appreciate your help ppl!!

Where did you copy your Backup
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I made a backup via cwm..im trying to restore "data" and "system" via advanced restore and see wether it works..currently doing that
OK let me know then!
If it not works, try the app nitrality from market, you can try to restore your efs backup with the app
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
didnt work.
So now I am fully restoring it via CWM, before i was rebooting into CWM mode, and then advance restoring.
Ok I'm gonna also try that app and let you know!
Btw thank you so much for your help man!! Im so bloody depressed! :-(
The damage is reversible right? I mean im not a gonner am I? I'll keep you updated!
Since you made an backup of your efs folder its always possible to restore so no reason for getting depressed mate!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I restored it fully, but after the phone rebooted, it just got stuck at the boot screen..i took out the battery after 5 mins as it was still stuck at the boot screen.
What do you suggest now? I'll try that app you suggested once I get my firmware working!
Retiring for bed, will follow up on your advice when i wake up..
Go into the recovery and make a factory reset, if the Akku trick won't work

Did you make sure you flashed with a .pit file as well,? You must do this down grading as the file partitions are different from ics
Ok I tried to go into recovery mode, but the phone would just boot again, from the very first boot screen (where samsung is displayed at the bottom)..so should i flash again with the .pit thingy?
ok guyz nitrality didnt work..flashed it with gingerbread with .pit again..no imei number

Do you have a back up of your efs folder?
Yes i have the efs backup on my pc and ds car. I tried copying the efs to system root dir, but no luck.
the nv_data.bin file is 2MB in the backup folder on my sd card, but as soon as I copy the whole efs folder to root dir, this nv_data.bin file is 0bytes size..
One question, when u copied your Backup into the root directory
Did you made a reboot then?

No I did not reboot after copying it to the root directory. Let me try and I'll let you know
I copied nfs to root again, but the nv_data.bin file is reduced from 2mb to 0bytes as soon as its copied...and reobooted but still no luck...
What app do you use for copy your Backup and another question, in what folder exactly do you copy it

Hi i was wondering if i can use the standard lg applications of the full rom to use them on the lite version
because there is no video player, memo, calender, and weather clock widget can i install these on my phone from system of full version?
and another thing my phone is keep saying with the micro SD "You can now remove your SD card safely"
why is it saying that?
btw i am so happy with this rom i was searching for like 5 months to get ics official and now finaly its there
could you please check if it reads your external sd... in my case is gives me the same message and it can read it only on cwm

i am now putting all my songs back on my phone and olso trying to install lg calender and memo etc..
calender is not working memo is working calculator is now working i have es file manager and i can play video's with that so not needed an videoplayer
afaik, you just need to push the apk and system file via adb, or move it manually with root explorer

Yes, you can.
Just push the apk and(!) the matching odex file to /system/app.
Make sure you got enough space left. I think we left ~15mb of free space for people to use it for whatever they want to include.
The SD Card warning means it didn't get mounted correctly. Did you add the external_sd folder?
Last but not least: As you now got your required 11 posts to post in the dev section please continue the further discussion into my thread over there.
what is an ICS lite verison? differences betven ics and ics lite version? thank You!
calendar widget,fm radio widget and google maps
sir tonyp,will the extra 15mb fit the calendar and fm radio widget as well as google maps? Will you also be so kindly to provide links? Appreciate it!
Does anybody know how to make whatsapp reading my Chat Backups? I'd like to use the rom but I cant because I need the Backups.

try changing the .dbk file to .zip and extract it, if you see a .xml file put it into your sdcard and download "super backup" from playstore and restore from there. If that doesnt work rename the .zip file to .xml and move it to sd card and use super backup to restore.
