I tried installing a modded com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk (AudioManager Widget) that had different colors. I find the default to be very ugly with any theme.
It didn't work, and now I'm not able to install the Market version of the widget. If I try to install the backed-up original apk on my sd card, I get "AudioManager could not be installed on this phone."
If I try to install from the Market, I get "Incompatible update".
What can I do to fix it?
PS: I have Navigation, which means I have the different build.prop's in place. Could that be contributing to my problem?
hey

I just took the apk from a thread in XDA's theme resource subforum, some thread with a lot of edited apk's.
My problem is less of the modded apk than it is my phone not installing the normal AudioManagerWidget.
its more than likely mismatched keys like jsheilds said, which is why it wont install from the market
you need to delete it first before you install it

I've uninstalled/deleted it any way I can already.
rm /system/sd/app/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk
rm /system/sd/app-private/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk
rm /system/app/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget.apk
I've even searched with SU FBS and didn't find anything. Removed all data of it and it still won't install.
I would like to be able to compose mail and search with the Norwegian special characters, but of course since this unit's made for the US market they're not there. I tried installing Swype version for WVGA, but I couldn't even get it to show in the Extras or anywhere else. Can somebody please tell me about something I could use?
I tried to install the Scandinavian Keyboard by trygveaa, but I think the problem is that there is no way of changing keyboard settings. So is there a sneaky way of doing this?
Thanks in advance!
+1, very interested as I will be using mine in France, so would much prefer AZERTY keyboard.
+1 here, would love getting Icelandic letters
Hexodam, I know you need that. You can't write "Svarti dauði" in E-mails without them! You'll have to call it "brennivin", and that's not as cool!
Of course you could just drink mjød, but what's the fun in that?
Some people were able to install by replacing LatinIME.apk in system/app. You need to rename the softkey apk of your choice and replace it with LatinIME.apk. You have to make system folder writerble in order to do this. I wanted to install korean keyboared but no luck. After replacing apk korean keyboard shows up. When I touch it. It hides. Well don't forget to backup the original LatinIME.apk before you do this.
Thats exactly why, have to tell my friends "Drunk off my ass thanks to svarti dauði"

I tried with Astro, but of course it didn't work since the system folder probably isn't writeable. I searched for that on Google, but that looked a bit too scary...for me.

You can use Root Explorer to make it R/W, very easy to use.
Not easy enough for a Windows Mobile guy, it seems... I have Root Explorer installed, but I can't seem to find out how to make it RW. By Googling I found something about "Mount RW" by tapping in the upper right corner, but there's nothing in that corner.
I have used ADB and the method at NookDevs to make it RW, but that didn't really work. It says in the list that it's RW, but trying to delete or rename the LatinIME.apk nothing happens. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
I am looking for a dummies solution that I cannot find anywhere. I have tried to install some apk files, that end up giving me a "Application not installed". I have googled a little, but I cannot seem to find a solution. I have noticed that some apk files say signed and they will install. In certain situations I cannot find a signed version of the apk that I am looking for.

yeah that would be useful. I know if its a system based apk your trying to move you usually have to replace it in the system folder. it could just be buggy. I once had to freeze the default music app to install miui music.

Opps (I did say dummy) - In Futureshocks Miui rom, he does not have Miui Back-Up installed (Odd I think), so I got a Miui Back-Up apk from another extracted Miui Rom and tried to load it, but got the dreaded "Application not installed". I saw some posts about Root Explorer, Mounting, Permissions but I could not understand the jargon. Is there a simpler way. Tks
why not post the apk? let peeps take a look. (saying from an extracted rom - very vague, lots of reasons why things may not work.) also links to the specific things you are talking about help.

I guess its a system apk for miui so it's not possible to install it individually. Try building your own and include that apk.

Yes that is correct, but I read a post that mention there is a way of changing the permission as follows (My comment are in CAPS)
1.Paste the apk into /system/app
2.hit the mount r/w button - I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS
3.long press the apk, select change permissions - WHEN I LONG PRESS IN ROOT EXPLORER I DO NOT SEE PERMISSIONS AS AN OPTION
4.check read and write on the "user" row, read on the "group" row, and read on the "others" row - WHAT WOULD I CHANGE THIS TO FOR BACK-UP TO WORK
5.hit ok, and reboot
6.enjoy
Does this make sense to anyone.
Apk attached.

Hey
for point 2. look for grey button top right labelled: Mount R/O or Mount R/W
if the btn display is Mount R/W then you are in read only mode & vice versa
and point 3. if the cant see the "PERMISSIONS" option try scrolling down.
as for changing permissions, do this when you have the apk in place.
My comment is after your all caps. I believe you are using root explorer.
1.Paste the apk into /system/app
2.hit the mount r/w button - I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS -you can see this on the topmost part below the notification bar. Make sure r/w is on the left side not inside the button. If it is inside the button then click it to mount.
3.long press the apk, select change permissions - WHEN I LONG PRESS IN ROOT EXPLORER I DO NOT SEE PERMISSIONS AS AN OPTION -you can see permissions options when you long press the apk.
4.check read and write on the "user" row, read on the "group" row, and read on the "others" row - WHAT WOULD I CHANGE THIS TO FOR BACK-UP TO WORK -if you read it well, then it's clear that user must have checks on read and write while group and othera only needs read check. This is in the permissions options.
5.hit ok, and reboot
6.enjoy
Does this make sense to anyone.
-of course it makes sense if you just follow that simple instruction you posted.

In a previous rom (Futureshocks) that grey box showing Mount never appeared, hence why I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. On my lastest rom tryout, it shows up....... Now in the meantime when I press permissions I get a message "Warning, apk cannot be changed because the file is system read only". Am I back to square one...............

Are you suggesting my thread is to be deleted?
No, I deleted my post
I still don't have the long press search fixed, but the search key, I do.
1. If you haven't done so already, remove or rename BingSearch.apk and BingVoiceRecognitionService.apk (I renamed mine by adding .bak to the end just in case).
2. Uninstall Google Voice and Google Search if you already have them installed (or delete them from the /DATA/APPS directory).
2. Find a Froyo ROM (I used Kaos Froyo because I was an Eris user), unzip, and pull "QuickSearch.apk" and "VoiceSearch.apk" from the SYSTEM/APPS directory and put them into your Revolutions SYSTEM/APPS directory (I used "Root Explorer" to do this).
3. Reboot, hit the search key and watch the magic happen!
If anyone has thoughts on the long search key press, let me know. As of right now, I'm still looking into it.
Something to note is that this doesn't work properly with the stock home interface. I found that interface laggy and crap anyhow, and I think most of you have changed it already, but just throwing that out there. If interested, I'd give GO Launcher EX a try (that's what I'm using).
Edit: The long search button functionality is buried in the android.policy.jar file. Until we get a recovery going, I don't think I'm gonna go there
If you have any issues with bad voice recognition, try this:

Its not the app. I just went through this when I got the Charge. Go to your Google dashboard and go to speech and click anonymize recognition. This deletes the voice recordings stored from your previous phone. Mine was coming up with kkkkk stuff when I first got the Charge. I guess different devices pick up your speech in a different manner. Try it and see if that fixes your issue.

New update to this procedure: DON'T UPDATE voice search after this. If you do, uninstall the update because the voice recognition goes nuts on the latest version.

Got it working as well.
Also used Root Explorer. Didn't uninstall anything- used the preexisting APK for googlequicksearchbox.apk or whatever it was called, renamed it to QuickSearch.apk and put it in /system/app after mounting the folder.
Worked on reboot.

Yup, this works. Copied and pasted both into system/app, changed the googlequicksearchbox.apk and the voice search one to QuickSearch.apk and VoiceSearch.apk. , deleted from data/app, rebooted and all good.

Hi all
My rooted 7inch HD updated OTA yesterday and became unrooted.
I got it back to root no problem, and reinstalled Play. The first thing I did was disable OTA.
I then noticed that Synker, an app I use to synch the stock address book with my Google contacts didn't work so I went through the disabled OTA one by one and even after enabling them all, I still couldn't synch. My phone syncs ok with G Contacts so it must be the HD.
I uninstalled Synker and reinstalled it, but found that I can't create the widget to run it. I previously followed the steps in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
to enable widgets on ADW launcher and so tried again.
Despite following the steps, I cannot create widgets, previously, it was a breeze. The instructions say to copy appwidgetpicker to system/app and though I do that, and get a confirmation message, I find it in /system instead. Is that correct? For my own development, can someone explain why confirmation is given that the file has copied but it copies into a different folder?
Does anyone know of any reason why the update should prevent widgets being created as per the above post and is there another way?
I'm considering restoring to 7.2.3 but because of the time involved thought I'd give it another go to recover the situation.
(I tried to make this post at the end of the above thread or a similar one but being noob am not allowed to post in development threads. Mods can move this to a more appropriate forum if they wish.)
No one else noticed problems moving files into the system/app folder?
It apparently now puts the files in one folder back than you attempt to according to an earlier post, try making a folder in system/app called test and placing it there, if the post was right it will place it in the app folder instead of temp, the post also read that it changed the file name'so check that as well..

strangely enough, that's correct. It also puts the folder name at the front of the file name, so filename.apk in the app folder becomes appfoldername.apk. That bit was especially confusing becase the file appwidgetpicker.apk became appappwidgetpicker.apk. I thought the 'app' at the front was because it was an app, but it was because it was in the app folder!
Creating a sub folder in system/apps sorted it out because the file went in that folder rather than the sub folder. After that it was a simple case of renaming back to the original name and changing permissions and all sorted.
Wonder why thats happening. If its an attempt at frustrating rooted devices its a bit soft.
Thanks for the pointer. Kudos to you
