I was in root explorer and accidentally deleted the swype.apk file from system/app. I then restarted my phone and I no longer have swype in my input methods. I tried taking the apk of it off of my friends phone and installing it onto mine but it said installation failed. Please help!

Are you a registered user on their site? If so, go there and just download the installer again and reinstall Swype. If not, you can search around and I'm sure you could find the files relatively easily.

Does anyone know if the new youtube app (froyo only) has been ported to any of the 2.1 ROMs? If so, or if someone would be willing to do it, It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

help?
How do i go about installing this? I uninstalled the original app using titaniun backup but now wuen i go to install this apk it says something about installing over an older version (even though i thought i uninstalled it) and then it says uninstall failed. Do i have to use adb?
which rom are u running. You should be able to install it over the old youtube. It should ask u to upgrade. I use astro file manager. All I did is went to downloads clicked onto youtube apk and opened it and installed it.

I am running xtrSense 4.2.1
xtrom and xtrsense will not let u over ride some apps. They are built in to the rom. Try using kaosfroyo or tenzo's plainjane rom with cache2cache. If u decide to use kaosfroyo, go to the market and upgrade what he has installed. Kaosfroyo will let u view hd by default. There is a new youtube on the market only available for froyo
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
so theres no way (even with adb) to push that apk while using xtrSense? I have never been a fan of the Froyo rom as it seems to run really slow to me for some reason (even when OC-ed).
No, there is not. Checkout the threads, there are 2 sensefroyo roms out on beta. It's looking cool. kaosfroyo is pretty fast. check it out.

FYI: The posted version is 1.6, not the new 2.0 that's still Froyo only.
You can use root explorer in the market to replace your old YouTube apk with this one. Yes its a paid app but its worth it. I have xtrROM 4.5 loaded and so far no issues. Just make sure you rename the old apk first just in case you run into any problems.
Sent from my Eris
Also forgot to mention this as its critical - by default root explorer will not mount your system/app folder. Tap mount r/w on the top right of your screen when youre in the folder before you rename and paste the new file. Then tap and hold, select permissions and reset these so they are identical to the old file. Then reboot your phone.
Sent from my Eris
Ok one more thing. When you rename the old file, just add .old to the end of the file.

ok thanks a bunch, ill try that later tonight. I love my xtrSense lol. Ive tried the new TenzoSense Remix rom and honestly its nice, but xtrSense just seems rock solid when it comes to fluidity and performance (taking into account that the remix rom is only a RC1 rom).
I may very well buy the root explorer and not just refund it, although how much of an advantage does it have over titanium backup?
Root explorer is just a file manager for root users. I've never used titanium backup since I keep a backup of my apps and there isn't much in settings that I can't redo in seconds. I just stick with nandroid backups

And to offdutyninja, I tried the method where you save the update.zip file to the root, go into recovery and reinsyall packages, but everytime I hit reinstall packages I get an error, "ubable to locate file" or something. Tried it many times w/ several diff d-load links. Im so confused lol
To twisted, if you think email will work go for it.

Is the update.zip on the root of your internal SD card as the instructions state? Make sure of that. I know that works on 2.1, I have used it many times. And there should be no need for several different downloads... just use the download from the link I posted. Rename the download to update.zip (make sure it's not renamed to update.zip.zip.
I had an epifany and went to 4shared'com, DL'd an older version of the OCLF app and rooted with no prob in 5 mins. But tganks for the help and info everyone
Glad to hear you got it working!

I recently updated my wife's phone and lost the memo app. I thought nothing of it, because I do not use it myself, but she is pretty disappointed about it being gone.
So, first my question - will the stock fascinate Memo app run on EB01?
and second my request - could someone hook me with a link to DL it? I have looked and looked to no avail. I have found the backup of it in Titanium Backup, but Restore is not an option (prompting the question of whether it can run in EB01), and I would really like to get it back for her.
I did find this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930430 but the link is dead... Likewise, I thought to use Rom Manager, however I have read that it is not compatible with the new CWM, and if I open it, it tell me I need to flash CWM, which I don;t think I should do on EB01 SC2.4V... Really at a loss on this.
Any assist is greatly appreciated.
nobody? nothing?
Did u try just extracting the apk and using root explorer and just dropping it into system/app folder and rebooting? I find this will work for most apps that wont install directly or through cwm.
Edit. Here is a link. Hope it helps.

I guess I am confused on that line - I have seen that recommendation for other apps and issues, but I do not know where to find the apk - that is where my issue really lies...
TB does show it listed, just no restore option, and I am unable to locate the apk anywhere - market or web (so far)
I do appreciate the look...

My wife is the same way..she wanted the stock note app. But I finally convinced her to switch to color note because you can't restore the notes..so even if you get the app back..every time there is an update she will lose her notes.

backup samsung memo database
this might be too little or too late for some of you but maybe not for others ..
I found the samsung fascinate memo stores everything in ...
/dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.memo/memo.db
if you have root access, you can copy this file to sdcard or through other method.
you can then restore it after you reimage (I assume you can) I haven't tried it yet. again I assume you need root to restore it ...
also - it is a SQLite database - so you can use "SQLite Database Browser by tabuleiro" on your PC to see all the notes. it's available on sourceforge.
click on second tab "Browse Data" - then choose table called "memo" and you will see all the memos show up in a table. double click each one and you can export, or just copy/paste.
probably a moderately skilled SQL admin can get all the data extracted with a few queries.
I was thinking of attempting to create an app that would back it up and restore or export. perhaps it could work with any db on the device.
Have the ROM Bionix V 1.3.1 installed and it's a great rom but one issue. I flashed it on 2 phones but contacts force closes on one phone #1 every time I tried to either access it directly or indirectly (like when you long press a number to save a contact). Phone # 2 works great.
So, I deleted contacts.apk on phone #1 and tried to copy the apk from phone # 2 to #1 but it won't let me install. Any tips? I am using An outside dialer just to call now but I have some time now to try to fix it. Any help would be appreciated, czr

Try exporting contacts to memory card and import to new phone!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
That didn't work. Maybe I'm installing contacts.apk wrong. I've been long pressing the second phones contacts.apk on my SD card then long pressing to install. It says installing then application not installed.
Can someone post the vibrant cobtacts.Apk and give me pointers on install so my phone will take it?

You can't install system apps just by pressing on them. You have to use root explorer to push app in /system/app directory.

^^AGREED^^
Take the one from the ROM zip itself, or from the phone that it werks on whatever really. Good luck!
You need an app called Root Explorer as Alex mentioned. Then, mount it with root rights and RW privileges (its a checkbox at the top while using it) and copy the apk to the same place it is on the working phone. Then, restart your broken phone and it should be fixed.
If you have the force-closing again, something else is causing it, likely a setting conflicting somewhere. You may need to go ahead and reset some settings from Titanium Backup then.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Such a simple fix since I had a good working copy of the apk on the other phone. Got it to work!
I'm using Axura - Moped/FishmanMod v1 now. Really like it, has made my Vibrant usable again. However, I miss GTalk. I've searched google and these forums but I'm not able to find the .apk for a froyo ROM specific to my Vibrant and the one I attempted to install failed. Can anyone direct me toward the correct .apk for Google Talk?
Also, do I need to force it as a system app with Root Explorer?
Thank you.
When you way it failed, what did it do/say? Just not work/open or did it say something like Parse Error?
Yes, you need to install it in /system/app and set the permissions as well. The reboot. Try again with the apk that you have and let me know if it works. If not then I can upload one for you tonight that should work on Froyo.
Thank you for the reply. When I try to install the .apk I have, it goes through the normal screen, telling me what the app has access to. I click install and it comes back with "Application not installed."
I will see if I can find some instructions to do it with Root Explorer and see if that works.
Root Explorer method is easy.
Just copy the apk from where you have it and go into /system/app and paste it there. After it is pasted, go back to it and long-press it until you see permissions come up. Your permissions should be the first column all checked and then the top 1 of the next 2 columns checked. (The bottom 2 on columns 2&3 are left unchecked). Then exit out of RE and reboot.
Since it is a /system/app it can't be installed through the Package Installer like a normal app. It just isn't coded like that.
Thanks! That did it! I really appreciate the help. And especially thanks for not making me feel dumb. The Hubs (sorry, can't remember his nick here on XDA) has had a crummy day at work and I'm glad I don't have to ask him to help me figure this out. :laugh:
No worries, I've helped you before I think. I recognized your username (pretty distinctive). I am usually hanging out in Gen and Q&A most of the day to help out (I have a job that I can do that in). You can GTalk him now and tell him, I hope his day gets better.
Can you edit the topic and put a Solved in it? Go to your OP and click edit, then Go Advanced and there you can put it in the title.
The thread title has been edited. Thank you. Yes, you did help me before with some issues with my Vibrant. The poor thing was on its last leg but we tried this ROM and it's been good so far. After adding back apps one at a time I believe Zedge was the culprit as I started having issues immediately upon reinstalling it.
I've already let him know via GTalk that it's working again. He said he remembered you from when he had his Vibrant. Thanks again!
