Hi I just took out the apk for go sms then changed the android smileys in 7-zip on windows, I changed the icons to 24 x 24 pixels png files. Then put the apk back on my phone, into data/app on my phone memory. It copies fine changed the permissions, but the app won't run, I even tried installing the apk, but it says application not installed after trying. What am I doing wrong?
sorry figured it out, had to change the owner of the app in root explorer for it to work :-D
Sir, howd you change owner? what should i choose? ive tried to change but it says it cant change.. i wanted to replace go sms icon.

I recently flashed a rom with some AOSP elements and while I am loving most of it, I would like to reinstall the touchwiz clock and calendar apps. I tried pushing the .apks to system\app with root explorer but I still can't get it working. after moving the .apks to system\app I clicked on them to attempt installation but after the installation starts it stops and says "application not installed". I have also moved the .odex files to system\app but I can't get it to work.
I have been able to find several threads talking about removing the TW calendar and clock to replace with stock, but not the other way around lol. any help would be appreciated.
ive uninstalled and reinstalled, ive closed down adw launcher and relauncned but nothing.
im also noticing that after installing widgetlocker from the market it disapears on reboot as well.
this all started happening after i pushed some smoked widget replacements and edited the drawable file on widgetlocker to include my own slider
i think there might be a problem with the apks...maybe i need to sign them myself or something? im not sure if that would be the problem....any suggestions?
im rooted on CM 6.1

All widgets, or just the ones you messed with?
As for WidgetLauncher, about every 6-8 weeks (ie: when I reboot) it seems like I recall it doesn't come up quite right from reboot, but if I launch it manually it's fine after. Not sure if it's a timing thing or what.
And of course I'm sure you've made sure these widgets aren't using Froyo Apps2SD (not Apps2Ext, that's fine) because widgets don't play from SD.
all widgets whether i touched them or not.
they are all installed on internal memory (including widget locker)
ive been messing with it and i uninstalled widgetlocker..all my widgets loaded fine after i deleted and re did them. I reinstalled widgetlocker and everything works like normal...untill i pull the widgetlauncher apk...edit the drawable files...recompile as an apk and push to the phone. the new files i push dont show up, and then on reboot widgetlauncher is no where to be found on my phone. no icon in the app tray or anything.
so ive been messing around, and i think i fixed the problem. I used these instructions courtsey of Andrewst in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785081&highlight=widgetlocker
Method B - Manual copying via Root Explorer - for root user only
* Uninstall your current copy.
* Manual remove from /data/app if you can't uninstall manually.
* Copy my MOD copy to /system/app via root explorer.
* Before copying, make sure click the Mount R/W button for write access in root explorer.
* Set permission to rw--r--r
* Restart the phone.
* Open up your WidgetLocker, goto Settings -> Look & Feel -> Slider & Layout and choose iPhone.
so far so good....
i might have spoke too soon....looks like the widget are failing to load again...hmmmm
I have been trying to modify the colors in the tweetdeck app to match the theme I have on my phone but I have been unsuccessful. I pulled the apk from my phone and placed it on my computer so I could edit the png's that I wanted to change. I then zipped the file back up and tried various methods to resign it as that is what I read needed to be done in order to reinstall it. When I install it on my phone, everything seems to work initially but then I get nothing but FCs. The app will ask for my login info and after it successfully syncs my accounts, it FCs as soon as it tries to go to the next page. And then from there on, every time i press on the app, it doesn't even open...it just force closes. I would really appreciated it if anyone could help point me in the right direction. Thanks and enjoy the holidays.
no one has any advice or anything?
Use APKManager to extract the images.
Then edit the images you want.
Back to APKManager and remove and re-sign the .apk
Always use APKManager. It's super pro.
OK. So I was getting bored with the gray icons in the settings menu so I decided to change them up. First thing that came to mind was the TouchWiz icons, so I pulled the icons from there to use in CM.
So this is for CM7 only and to install just push the apk to /system/app/
To install through adb type:
adb remount
adb push "Drag file here" /system/app/Settings.apk
OR with root explorer:
1. Copy the apk to your sdcard
2. With root explorer move the apk to /system/app/
Hope you enjoy (its my first real upload, and its not much)
Ohhh and I'm not responsible for anyone bricking theirs phones or who need a wipe because of this, although I don't really see how that is possible... lol
Something is wrong with the display button in settings. It force closes once you hit brightness.
Hmmm... let me look into it...
works great in my lg gt540 ! But don't forget to reboot your phone.
Maybe I'm missing something but I did what u said but it bricked my phone. I used root explorer to put the apk in system/app and it copied over the stock system.apk, rebooted and the phone was bricked.
I was able to reflash in recovery and the phone is fine now but I tried a bunch of other ways and I can't install the touchwiz settings... What am I doing wrong?
Sent from my HTC Vision with CM7-RC4
I got it to work finally.
I copied the apk over the stock apk with Root Explorer, mounted R/W, changed the persmisions for the new settings apk (i allowed all), mounted R/O, rebooted and it worked.
Thanks the colored settings are really awesome!!!
FC's on wireless & networks setting
i flashed the latest cm7 version for my milestone
and added this aswell after but when i click on wireless & networks it FC's =[
Hi
I accidently removed dialer 2.2.2 from the device using Titanium Backup, and i need to restore it in order for my phone calls to work.
I tried downloading some froyo Phone.apk but i cant install. It stops fast and syas "Application not installed" when i click it.
I put it in /system/app/ using adb. I didnt work either to install it through adb. It said cannot find file.
I need a original copy of Phone.apk and maybe some explanation of how to install it as it were before i removed it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960374 has a complete dump of 2X global version. You can find the dialer in there.
There are several threads about the joys of reinstalling system apps (usually ppl killed the launcher) among them are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992945
EDIT: next time freez in stead of uninstalling... frozen apps will be restored by a simple factory reset. uninstalled won't.
Thx I am downloading and hoping it will work with the original Phone.apk

it should work.
I downloaded the package and pushed the Phone.lnk to the /system/app/ directory. After that i went to a file browser on the phone and tried to execute the Phone.apk file.
It came with the same message. Do i need to install through adb or hard reset?

You don't need to install apk when putting in /system/app.
Copy apk to sd, download and install rootexplorer copy apk forom sd with rootexplorer go to system/app push button “mount R/W“ paste apk and reboot the phone. Done
Well isnt that the same as using adb.
I have the Phone.apk from the optimus 2x dump in the /system/app/ folder now, but i doesnt fix the problem. It doesnt seem to get installed when rebooting.
How can i see if its installed. I checked Titanium Backup, which still shows the Dialer 2.2.2 grey with strike-through (Data backed up, with no possiblity of restore).
How do i force it to "reinstall" upon reboot.
I tried restoring a widget that i removed, and that worked, so maybe the phone.apk is installed after i pushed it to /system/app, but something else is wrong.
What could be the problem? Missing data or something, which i need to restore somehow?
Isn't there a way to reflash the device with original rom?
Any ideas?
I downloaded the Global System.zip from this forum. I successfully went to the android recovery menu on the phone. I can choose to update the phone using System.zip on sdcard.
Is that the way to go?
have solved the problem?
Is possible to edit the phone.apk? the stock "incall" app is simple orrrrrrible
i too am missing my dialer app. whenever i touched the phone icon it would crash and go to home screen i thought if i uninstalled it and reinstalled it with titanium pro it would fix it. but it now wolnt let me reinstall. ive been searching the forum and trying different ways to fix the issue but nothing is working so far ... how can i get this is work?
Phone.apk
Did you guys figure this out? I installed
