theoretical question

Hey guys,
so new roms like villain 3.0 etc have the 3d gallery app, which is really awesome! I was thinking, if I were to install such a rom, find the apk and install it on a regular hero rom(adb), would it work?
here's the apk, if ya have android 2.0 it'll work i think

got the apk, get the following msg: gallery could not be installed on this phone, gonna try pushing it through adb

adb install /Users/*/Desktop/Gallery3D.apk
1409 KB/s (702677 bytes in 0.487s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/Gallery3D.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
damn, adb push doesn't work, and that message is what I get by using adb install, suggestions?

Chances are that the app requires APIs not available in earlier versions of Android.

yea that's what I thought, probably no way around that huh?
cuz I don't like those unstable 2.1 roms

you could always try edidting the build.properties file for the rom you are using and change the sdk version to 6 or 7 and then re-zip and reflash that worked for a couple apps from the cdma 2.1 build that I wanted on my phone however there where some that wouldnt work

New voice search from Google installation (2.2 only)

Has anyone been able to install this yet? I'm running CM6 8-10 and I get an installation failure everytime. I tried what the EVO guys are doing by removing the Voicesearch.apk, rebooting, and installing the new one from the market but no beans.

all i had to do was:
adb shell
rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
rm /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
then REBOOT (didn't work otherwise), then install Voice Search (the new voice command app) and Google Search (the widget). credit goes to pugsby in the evo sub-forum.
still can't get chrome-to-phone to install though ("installation unsuccessful") even after manually removing the version that was already installed and rebooting. not sure why that's happening.

I don't have permission to leave comments on the referenced site, but I needed to change the last instruction from:
pm uninstall com.google.android.googlequickSearchBox
to:
pm uninstall com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
(note the lower case letters) in order for it to work for me ...

That's odd you can't get chrome2phone to work. I just downloaded it and plugged in my info and was good to go. Took a few secs to send to my phone.
Should've checked the market before I uninstalled my search, not that I use it much, because now the voice search and google search don't show up. Can't follow the QR codes because googles doesn't work. And uninstall and reinstall of googles fixed the FC problem.

I can't even get Chrome to start up on my fairly new HP desktop running a valid Win 7 install. I have a hunch I've been infected as at about the same time I lost the ability to launch Chrome I started getting daily MS Security Essentials warnings that problems were found and I should do a reboot (daily now) but Symantec NIS isn't reporting anything unusual ...

Microsoft Security Essentials is detecting and supposedly fixing a daily Win32/Alureon.H attack, and ask me to reboot daily as a result. They also report system access attempts originating from China every few days.

Google Music: Application cannot be installed in the default install location

Greetings. I have N1 2.3.3 original stock, rooted. 35MB internal available for programs & 5GB available on SD. When I try to install Google Music 3.0, I get message: Application cannot be installed in the default install location. I have installed/removed hundreds and hundreds of programs (including all Google ones) and this is the first time I've seen this. Any thoughts?

Cache is greyed out. I guess, nothing in a cache to clear. Data... on the other side, has 136KB, but am little afraid to clear that one. Thank you for your suggestion. I have actually googled this error message in relation to Nexus One, and it seems that there is just one more person with that same issue. Can I really be that lucky?

No I'm having the same problem. I'm running stock n1

Hope that someone will come-up with solution. Otherwise, hopefully Google is aware of the issue, and will fix it the next incremental version of Google Music.

Well I can't download Google music because of my location but for clearing data you should be fine I have done it before and just to make sure I went ahead and did it just now and all it does is ask you to accept the terms and conditions again. So that might be something to try.

This is what Google music team sent me about my failure to install music. I've never changed my default set location. Idk it might work for some but not me.
Thanks for the additional information. We've now received confirmation from a number of users that this issue is caused by setting the default installation location to the SD card. This is a developer tools option that can be reversed by running the following command:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

This is my issue. Is it something I can change from the phone, or do I have to it from the computer? Now I just have to remember how I did it in the first place.
EDIT: Got it done and now everything works!

i was able to download and install it directly, cm7 nightly #87

Did you make sure that you have everything set to install to internal? If you are running CyanogenMod, there is an option to do it under Settings -> CM Settings -> Applications, if you are running stock, there was a command through adb to make sure it is set properly (but you had to change it from earlier for it to not work).

[ROM][CWM]KhasMek Stock Deodexed plus! For Tab 10.1

As normal, it's not my fault if you fubar your tab by flashing this or if zombies come and speedhump your cat. You've been warned.
Well, hello there, some of you may know me from my vzwtab (7") work, but I'm sure most of you don't.
No matter, I just finished deodexing my framework and app folders, so I decided to share with you.
This isn't anything special, just you're stock system that's been deodexed, I did not remove any programs, there are really only three or so 'bloatware' apps on here, so I didn't bother.
If you would like to, just use root file explorer (or your preferred method) to remove them.
In addition to the stock items I have added pershoot's SU/Busybox/misc package (SOURCE) All credit goes to him for that.
If there's anything else, just let me know. I have tested this on my own rooted tab and everything seems to work fine and be stable.
If you notice any issues, please format/clear both Dalvik & normal Cache. It's probably the cause.
Features
Deodexed flashable system
Pershoot's SU/Busybox/misc pacakage (nano, VIM, all kinds of other goodies)
Changelog
06212011- r1 - Initial Release
Known Issues
You may have to go through and manually delete your odex's in /system/app/ and /system/framework/ but the apk's and jar's no longer call them. (I can't get the amend format command working right. if you want to tell me how, please!)
Installation
Reboot into CWM either via ROM Manager or via power off, volume down + power, volume down to CWM icon and volume up to select.
Select Install Zip from SD Card
Navigate to location of zip and select okay
Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache (in advanced)
Reboot
Make themes for me
Download
HERE
Lastly, if you like my work, donate to me so I can donate money to devs that make my world easier (and therefore yours).

awesome finally someone to break ground for the Samsung Galaxy tab! Thanks will try it out!

Not sure if it matters but is this for retail or I/o version? Does it matter since it is basically the same tab?
For any ideas: maybe you could include a way for hulu to work without any work arounds? And maybe some lag fixes. Although that may be solved with a custom kernel.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Decided to test this on the retail version.
The only problem is that root is broken because there are two su binaries installed.
/system/bin/su - installed from file Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip when you rooted the device.
/system/xbin/su - installed when you added [Tools] – SU/BusyBox/Misc – Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Update: 6/18/11).
To fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14016703&postcount=18
------
the /system/bin/su binary need to be removed.
Su does not work on the tablet with two su binaries installed.
Use adb to remove /system/bin/su
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/bin
rm su
reboot
I tried running titanium backup prior to a reboot after removing /system/bin/su and it would not work. I uninstalled/reinstalled and it worked, but a reboot may have fixed the problem.
I manually deleted all the odex files - no problems so far. I will provide an update later if I have problems.
------------
You can remove /system/bin/su when you update the image again.
JD

Yeah, I just noticed that myself actually. Don't know why I didn't catch it before.
Anywho, I think I'll prolly push an update to this tomorrow after I write a script to remove the odex's. It was my initial thought, but I thought it would be easier to used the updater-script to do it, but looks like just writing an additional one will be best.
Glad the su thing didn't confuse you too much!

Sweet thanks for this. Going to give it a whirl!

I flashed the Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip after flashing the Rom. Everying is working fine.
I didn't need to remove su from anywhere.
Thanks!

You will only have problems when you try to run an app that requires root (Root Explorer, Titanium backup....).

If you have both su binaries - and all works - good to hear. I will flash again, but will reboot a second time to see if it matters. Those apps did not run until I remove the su from bin.
Strange how two devices with the same specs operate different on certain software.
JD

shouldn't that have been:
cd /system/bin ?
i didn't try mine w both since i didn't want hassle of find out if it worked or not. no reason for 2 su's.

Yes - my bad - should be /system/bin - will correct it.

Its because one su has the correct permissions and the other doesn't.

Thanks for responding. Ok , copied to /system/apps, changed permissions to rw-r-r. Still will not install. Same error message running apks.

I have had problems installing some applications one I use a lot Paypal. The application won't install via sideload, or moving to system/app. I guess some applications are just not compatible at least for the moment. I've noticed a lot of games have problems as well even if they are installed.

On re boot, nothing changed. Funny thing bout this is, this is the same android version on my kids Nabi2, and I was able to side load it there. So it leads me to believe its a kindle fire issue. Maybe....

Any one care to chime in

I'm having trouble with some side loaded apps on the fire HD. I don't think the ICS on the fire is quite standard. Amazon modified it quite a bit. I think this is where some of the problems lie.
I haven't tried this cause I don't have another tablet with ICS. Did you try pulling the apps from the nabi and pushing them to the fire with Adb. I wonder if that might work.
