I have attached fascinate's live wallpapers.
The fascinate live wallpapers aren't found on any other variant(s) of samsung galaxy s including the vibrant.
push each individual APK to /system/app and also push lib to system/lib
you can push using root explorer or adb or any other file manager type of program
(root explorer is the best imo)
Again, not responsible if anything happens to your phone etc etc
ENJOY!!
No dice, didn't show up when I installed them.

Why does this need to be flashed? Do they overwrite the stock ones or something? Oh yeah, my phone came with the luminence one.
Thanks for the link, the Fascinate looks just like our phone! Ha, anyway I'm going to just adb push the files, seems easier than a recovery flash

No, it doesn't overwrite anything. You can open up the zip file and install the individual apk files, but you have to push the liblwfa-0.A.2-mng-p1.so file to your /system/lib/ directory before any of them will work.
wait.
where do i move the .zip to?
What I did was open up the zip file and went into the app folder and copied all the apk files over to my phone and installed them one by one. Work for me that way. BTW love the wallpapers!
any screen shots?

I also would like to see some.
Ok so I tried flashing this, and the wallpapers didn't show up. So I tried copying the .so file to system/lib folder and installed each .apk individually, so now they show up, but force close when I try to use them.
Anyone have any idea how to get this working, cos it seems to me that out should be good one way or another now.
Thanks

Hi. My name is Jess, and I love my Vibrant. That is all.
Here are some screens I made. I think they're kinda "girly", but to each their own.

Jess, your problem is that the APKs need to be pushed into /system/app - you can't install them, they'll show up, but won't work. Try uninstalling them and push each file to /system/app.
just as rdauque says, push each individual apk to /system/app. DON'T INSTALL THEM OR FLASH.
also, some devices might need the lib to be push to system/lib.
you can use root explorer or adb to push these files.
works like a charm

Nothing wrong with girly wallpapers, some of us (admittedly nerdy) girls actually use android =)
Anyway, I really love the spark wallpaper, but honestly, I've always preferred purple over pink, so I colored the background for my liking.
Anyway, flash/push the original zip contents to your phone, or at least the .so file to /system/lib, then copy/push this to /system/app for my purple Spark mod.
Cheers,
=)

Just move the apk files using root explorer to system/app and it will appear in your live wallpaper files.

Anyone know how to get Fascinate apps to install on our Vibrants?
I pulled several apks from the Fascinate system dump, but I don't know how to install them. Regular installation fails ('Application not installed')
I tried copying the apks/odex files into system/app via root explorer and got stuck in a boot loop. I then tried just copying over the apks, and no boot loop but also no installation.
Here is a link to the system dump for anyone who knows what they're doing to take a look:

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
It would help to know what apps you want from the fascinate?
Installing likely doesn't work because the samsung signature may be different in the shared.uid for the vibrant and the fascinate, and I believe you'd need to de-odex the apps before being able to just do a push/copy to the /system/app directory.
Good luck though, cheers

Thanks for the response. I primarily want the clock widgets from the fascinate. If I de-odex the apps, would I have to de-odex my rom (running stock) in order to push them into the app directory?

all apps from the galaxy s series are basically interchangeable. ie tw launcher and all samsung widgets. they just have to be deodexed versions of the apks.

great! thanks for your input. you are absolutely right.
here is a link to fascinate deodexed files for anyone else who wants the fascinate widgets on their vibrants (credit goes to 3083joe for deodexing the files):
http://www.androiddoes.net/jwilson/fascinateDI01_Deodex_CW.zip
take the apk files from the app folder (of the deodexed file above) and copy to system/app on your phone via root explorer -- change permissions to match other system apps -- reboot for good measure and that should be it.
Why is it 86Mbs? That's HUGE.
Hey Guys,
I'm trying to get the stock contacts dialler and mms app onto my rooted ZTE Skate with cyanogen.
as far as my understand goes, odexed apps cannot be pushed onto the cyanogenmod rom because it is a deodexed rom.
I tried deodexing with xUltimate v2.2.
it gave me a single .apk file which i pushed onto my phone.
it transferred successfully like it always does, but it doesn't appear on my app drawer nor under the relevant folder using a file explorer.
would appreciate if someone can shed some light on my problem...
Thanks in advance,
Mubs
If you place an apk file in the system/app directory and you don't see the icon in your app drawer (even after a reboot), that means the app doesn't work. Have you tried installing the app normally?
thanks for the reply.
yes i have. i just get the message aop not installed.
I've also tried the dialler and mms app too.

Don't know if you did this but, remember that you need to rename the new app to the stock app (Example: "ABCDE web browser.apk" would be need to be renamed to "browser.apk")
Yeah i extracted the apps from the stock rom so all throughout the journey, they've been holding the stock names.
Its strange because I can delete the contacts app that comes with cm and push the same contacts.apk that is present within the cyanogenmod system/app folder.
this app will appear in app manager, and the respected folder within the root directory.
but when i try to run it, i get a process failed error in acore or something like that.
same problem also exists after a reboot.
can anybody help me with this please?

State the exact error.
Ok thats very strange.
pushing contacts.apk that comes with cm7 now seems to work.
i can uninstall and push it back to my hearts content.
I then tried pushing the contacts.apk that i extracted from the stock ZTE skate rom and deodexed with xUltimate v2
and it doesn't appear in the app drawer, antek app manager list, or even under system/app when opened using ES file explorer.
what am i doing wrong?
is this contacts.apk even compatible with CM7?
i read that stock apps can be installed if deodexed, hence the reason why i went this route in the first place.
Thanks again,
Mubs

Did you set the permissions of the app to the same as the one for CM7?
Yes,
when push didn't work.
i transfered the deodexed (and the odexed) .apk from the stock rom onto my sd card and from there onto the sytem/app folder using es file explorer.
I changed the rights so that Owner has read and write privileges, Group has read privileges, and Others have read privileges.
Still no joy I'm afraid.

Ok. Have you tried re-deodexing it (or even just the app separately)?
How would i go about doing that?
do i just run the deodexed .apk through xUltimate again? I'll try that now.

No. You'll have to use both the odex file and app file again.
aah ok.
I'll do that.
I'm fine to push the deodexed .apk to the phone like normal right?
the xUltimate guide suggests i transfer the done_app folder to the sd card and then run a script.
are we sure this app is even compatible with CM7 in the first place?
Hi to everyone, Yesterday i tried to install touchwiz 4.0 following these instructions
http://www.tutebox.com/3776/mobile/install-touchwiz-4-0-on-any-samsung-phone/
As soon as i put the .apk file in system/app (via adb shell), the GUI become black. I rebooted with no results, so i deleted the file and rebooted again.
Nothing... Bricked.
I did a factory reset & wipe cache partition.
Now the device boot exactly one time after a factory reset but with no graphical interface, if i turn it off and on again it doesn't boot.
Do you have any suggestion about how to solve?I think this isn't a total brick but a problem with graphical interface files.
Info about the device:
Galaxy wifi 4.0 YP-G1CW/XEF
Android 2.3.5 (Official update with kies)
rooted with super one click
Was this your only launcher?
It makes sense that if you delete the only launcher you would loose your GUI. I was using ADW EX as my main one so I had no ill effects.
I suppose you will need to somehow get the twlauncher30.apk put back into system/app folder. And since you lost your GUI, you might have to flash back the stock rom.
I am not sure but maybe others can help you with more tricks.
Sorry to hear about your troubles though.
Thank you cvcduty, yes, I have probably overwritten the original touchwiz.apk file. To be sure, could you or someone with the same device post here the content of his system/app folder?
I cannot even replace the file because the device does not respond to adv. Is there any other way to access the memory ? Damn!

pm me. I can email you the stock touchwiz apk file. But your main problem is getting the file into the system/app folder.
Maybe someone with more knowledge can assist you with accessing the player via ADB or something. You should still be able to get the player into Download mode so maybe there is a way to access the player's folder structures from your PC... Good luck.
You can access the file on your player by connecting to a windows computer. Just open the player in computer and drag the file. I think this might work.
Thank you cvcduty and heat361. Through a normal usb connection you can only access to the "sdcard" folder and not the root folder.
I solved the problem in the simplest way: flashed with odin.
Thank you again
I was going to suggest ODIN gonna give tw a shot in ICS on my vibrant thanks for the link.

I think TW4 is for GB based roms...
I have successfully installed touchwiz 4 and made a copy of the original launcher to my sd card . My only complaint is some stock apps are missing but i rarely use them and i can re-install them in Root explorer and it sometimes get auto close window. When installing my screen went black too were you patient or you missed some steps?

Firstly, thanks to ayyu3m and others too for the initial test.
Just install widget apks as how you install a normal apk.
All the 11 additional widgets attached
Thanks to ayyu3m and nlooooo for the screenshots
Unable to install.

Before I start to upload all other htc widgets which is not in Desire X stock ROM, can someone test this one first.
Just install it as how you install a normal apk and advise if it working as it should.
If it works, I will upload more Htc widgets.

Ahh... maybe it need to be re-signed to install as normal apk.
Please retry as I uploaded a re-signed apk.

Needs to be installed a system app make a flashable zip and flash through CWM

That's for unsigned apk.
This is a re-signed apk, can be installed on unrooted stock ROM or rooted ROM.
Still nothing. Manual is on point, it needs to be put on system partition.
This was downloaded from HTC HUB, so if it get installed after resigned, and you can't see the widget in the widget list, my guess is it may not work for Sense 4.1 lite.
INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE

Ahh..ok... nothing much I can do here to help; unless someone know how to make this widget installable on unrooted DX then I can provide total of 11 additional widgets.
I decompiled the APK, removed the shared uid part, compiled it, pushed it to /system/app and the widget didn't show up. I signed it with my own certificate, pushed it to /system/app and still no luck.

There's an app called Aroma File Manager made by Amarullz, it is made to be used from recovery as a flashable zip, you just start it like you flash a zip from sd card. Maybe that can be used if there's a problem making flashable zip.
