Question about /system/apps

So I found a clear Facebook widget, and used root explorer to switch it out in the system/apps folder, matched permissions and rebooted.. worked fine. But now I tried to do the same exact process to the HtcMusic.apk, matched permissions, and it didn't work. Only difference is that the Facebook.apk did NOT have a Facebook.odex file. HtcMusic does. That's the question does the .odex file mess this process up. Can I delete it or replace it, or should I just leave it be? Any help or direction to a thread would be appreciated! Thanks!

What rom are you running? If it's a non sense rom you can't use htc widgets.

The odex and the apk might not have the same owner, so they can't work together. I'm using an odexed rom too, so I've had that problem whenever I try to replace an htc apk using root explorer. Try doing it with adb instead, by doing an adb push (after adb remount).

Yea im using Eris Lightning 3.02 so it is sense. I'm gunna do a nand restore to before i replaced the htcmusic.apk, cause not only does the stock music player not work now, but my keyboard keeps force closing. After that ill try to push it using adb. Thank you guys for the speedy responses!

Browser .apk cm 6.1

for some reason after flashing a custom theme my browser .apk went missing. i can find it it the file explorer but cant install it or do anything with it. so i was hopi9ng someone can post there browser .apk from cm 6.1 for me so i can install it again. i cant stand using dolphin and opera browser.

...or you could pull it from the CM 6.1 zip that you flashed?

once I accidentally replaced browser.apk in /system/app by another apk, later I just deleted browser.apk, and from SD card I re-installed it, and browser came back.

i actually tried that and it says application could not be installed. and the browser has appeared on my app drawer now but when i open it, it force closes. what can i do?

What are you using as you file explorer? I recommend Root Explorer, and don't forget to set the permissions...

ive used root explorer and es file explorer and still no luck. and yes ive set the permissions. it just says application not installed after i hit install.

ok... I had same problem when installing "Android Terminal Emulator" actually~and still don't know how to fix it

so what can i do, this is getting annoying

I think you may have to resort to restoring your backup...

Do you think if I re flash the theme it will possibly fix this issue? Because its the new inexus theme that was just released. Also reflashing the backup will really be a hassle.
Never mindj just tried to reflash the theme and it didn't work so I still don't know what to do

You can try the theme, it certainly won't hurt, but I think you'll end up having to do the ROM eventually...
Once you're up and running again, make a backup before trying the theme again.

i did a nandroid backup before flashing the theme. if i restore that backup will i get everything back. like apps and data

Anyone have a fix for annoying handcent issue?

Greetings...
I have an annoying issue with handcent where when I change the theme to Black background the settings do not save and a pop up message indicating Release Notes appears anytime I launch the program.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue? I found this thread but none of the solutions are available for my phone.

I also noticed that my settings in GOSMS do not save either.
Thanks in advance.

Go to dbdata/databases and delete the folder for handcent and gosms (com.jb.mms)

When I go to dbdata, it is empty. I don't see the databases folder and I have view hidden folders option enabled. As well, my phone is rooted.

You need root explorer or
Sufbs or other file explorers

I thought about that so I loaded "file manager", "mini file manager" but didn't see it there either. I will give either root explorer or look for others.

So I gave myself root access to a utility called Super Manager and was able to see the databases file. Removed the handcent file as previously mentioned and all is good now.

Try if it works.
Copy into /system/app and set permissions and owner same as others using root explorer.
Edit: Removed file as OP reported as not working

Nah didn't work it just said application not installed

It will say application not installed. You just have to put it in \system\app, fix the permissions and reboot.
You don't have to install it like other apps.

Tried that nothing happened, it's in my /system/app folder now and I restarted twice and nothing. Should I try and push it w/ adb?

I am posting the deleted apps zip in the slim thread right now, sorry for the delay. You will probably have to use a root explorer and put applicationmanager.apk into the /system/app folder and you may have to restart afterwards

Liquid smooth 3.2 vvm.apk?

I have downloaded a few and pushed and changed permissions. I can get it to install but not connect, does anyone know a fix for this, or do I just need to use Google??
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA App

just copy both of these to system/app and reboot. rename the VVM AOSP to just VVM.apk
U don't have to change any permissions. It just works

thank you. i was able to sign into vvm, but it will not show my messages. it keeps telling me when i get a voicemail to call *86, any ideas??

I'm not sure .it just worked on mine right out the gate. I guess u successfully copied both files to the phone. I actually had to put the voicemail app in data /app for some reason. It wouldn't show up in system /app. I kept the vvm file in system /app tho. Try moving the voicemail to data

Thanks so much I've been waiting looking for this for so long.
