I installed the new CM7 rom + Gapps.
Everything worked fine but the CM's calculator & calendar are far from what i was used on my stock 2.3.5 GB rom.
I've asked this same question on CM forum but no one replied so i'll try to ask here.
How can i replace my calculator with my old one?
I've successfully extracted the calculator apk from my old rom and have it on my sdcard ready to be installed.
But for some reason i cant get it to install and i even tried to put it on system/apps dir replacing the old one without success.
i know this is possible because i saw someone porting the same calculator to a nexus phone
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522009)
with the apk from that post i could run and install the calculator but the resolution would not fit my screen
any help?
thank you very much, mornaistar

the calendar.apk that you got from old rom, put it in /system/app, now change its permissions using root explorer as follows
Read permission to all i.e. owner, group and others
Write permission to owner
rest unchecked..
after this reboot your phone.. this should work.. if it doesn't that means the apk is not compatible with CM7 firmware and you can search for some other calendar app that suits your needs
i've tested this and it wont work.
can someone port the apps for CM firmware? i know it's possible since xda users made it for other phones
i was able to run one of those ported apps in my galaxy s but the resolution was all wrong

Q80
Pm'ed you. Can't figure out how to post it but I can email it to you.
Pm'ed you back .. Thanks a lot
Got your email thanks dude.
But it didn't work .. it says Application not installed.
I don't think it's from the file that you've sent but it may be the way that I have to install it.. Shall I install it normally like what I do with other apps or should I close or consider doing something before that??
Any Ideas
not really, sorry it didnt work. i have 3.1 wifi only version.
i just copied it out of system/app with root explorer.
i would think it would install like any other app. but obviously it doesn't.
maybe check and make sure there isnt a contacts.apk already in system/app?
I feel like a noob for asking this question but i didnt see anything on the rom manager that was installed with this rom when i flashed it. i used the gapps for cw7 witch was used in this rom at wiki cyanogenmod com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps but all i want is the freggin marketplace and i cant even get it with that. can someone tell me what i am doing wrong and tell me a simple flash i can use to install the market.. i got google + and some other useless google apps but not the market. please help me!
Find a vending.apk somewhere on xda and use that, paste it in system/app
Hi!

- Remove arome installer from the rom (dont have a clue how to do it)
- I need a good working camera.apk with flash on photos and recording.
XDA Rule 1. Search.

Just replace it. When you flash the ROM reboot. Then when it's all booted up just reboot it again.
- Replace music.apk (this one i know that just need to replace it =D)

You don't know how to use Aroma installer, but you can flash a ROM...? Weird.
It will be hard to remove it, but it's somewhere in META-INF. Don't have much experience with it sorry.

You need to specify the ROM! But This. should work if the ROM's camera works, otherwise its a Driver/lib problem.
In the future be more specific. Developers/Experienced users won't help you if you're not willing to do anything. Don't be lazy too! These questions have been answered before! SEARCH.

WHAT ROM??? If you can't provide details don't expect an answer. Browser and Music apks can generally be replaced by deleting them form /system/app and replacing them with your desired apps (ie, I assume Dolphin and Apollo?) set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Make sure the apps are compatible with your system first though.
Aroma installer I am not certain about but I imagine that you can find it in your /system and just delete it and reboot. If it was in your ROM already then you can unzip the ROM and remove the respective files, rezip it and then flash.
In regards to the camera, I need the ROM information...
EDIT: Listen to PulseDroid, he has more experience than me.
If rom uses aroma
Delete full meta inf and copy meta inf from other rom wich is based on same
Like cm7 /cm7

Hi!
Android GE was recently released for flash (so a lot of people is really happy right now) and I KNOW is very early to ask for mods, but if someone could help with this, that would be great (lol)
I want to have the AOSP browser in GE, I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173565 which is the mod for sense based roms that works in HOX, HOX+ and One but it did not work for the GE... so I also tried to use the broswer from the nightly of CM (put in system/apps and set permisions) but no luck (well i had to try :silly...
its just my opinion but I always feel the aosp browser more smooth than chrome or firefox etc, even the stock browser in sense (which is almost the same). maybe i need to wait until a deodexed rom?
well thanks in advance for any help
+1 I definitely agree, the AOSP browser is so much better.

This app will let you install the AOSP browser.

Use root explorer (es file manager), set permission of /system to RW and copy the apk over then restart.
thanks, both methods works, they dont have 64 tabs and incognito mode but its ok, thanks again!!!
I tried both methods with no luck. Running rooted HTC one with GE Rom. Does the rom have to be deodexd?
I used ES file explorer to change permission of system/app to rw, moved browser apk into system/app, changed name of BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex with an added "1", then restarted. After boot, everything is back to normal, as though no changes were made. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Will try deodexer.
I installed it multiple time just with the AOSP browser installer found in the playstore. This i can guarantee that it will work.
Also i copied the sense browser from a sense zip to the system app folder. just set the permissions for both the broser and the sync apk.
worked for both deodexed and odexed roms, maybe a custom kernel with disabled system nand protection is required. Dont know exactly what i did but its working for me

I'm not sure what's going on. I tried the AOSP browser installer from play store. It goes through the steps, but when it asks me to reboot it does nothing. When I restart myself, it's like nothing happened. I'll try doing it with another ROM.
Just in case someone is having the same problem. Version 4.1.2 of the AOSP browser was not working for me but 4.1.1 worked fine.

Sadly you can't. This is because all CM based roms runs on CM framework just like Samsung's stock rom runs on TouchWiz framework. There is an app in Google Play called CM App Installer, though I haven't tried myself, but it requires Android 3.0 and up. So in your case you can't run it in stock rom Gingerbrerad 2.3.6.
[Root] CM App Installer
