I recently switched roms and lost the Avatar launcher and the Sims 3.apk.
I know you can open Avatar through the gallery but that's not as good for showing off.
Can anyone send me a link to download them, or maybe rip them off your device?.
I really miss them.
There are many ways to solve this.
First, is search the forum.
Second, know something about his, download a stock rom and pull it for yourself.

You're talking about the avatar.apk right?
do this in ADB
adb push avatar.apk /system/app

I am having a similar problem trying to install Avatar. I am running Bionix Final - Sims 3 installs fine, Avatar is a no go. I tried to copy it into /system/app using Root Manager - rebooted and it still does not appear... any ideas?
I don't really know, I'm still a noobie to this android stuff. I just pushed it into system/app/ using ADB, and it worked for me. I'm using fusion 1.1.

Is that Bionix a Froyo build?
I've posted a modified Avatar.apk that looks for the movie in the proper location on Froyo ROMs. It's tested on Onyx ROM, but should work on any Froyo ROM. It's here if anyone still looking for a workaround about this and the apks posted above don't work for you.
On avatar it says application not installed...? Also when I download it where does it download the file?

I get a file not found when launching the avatar apk. I'm running macnut12. Hmmm, maybe I deleted the movie in the internal sd by mistake. Reverting back from a stock froyo (e.g. Eugene's unofficial froyo) through Odin should fix this issue. Am I correct?

Is that directed at me? Do you mean on your phone? Downloads from the web should end up in a folder called Downloads on the internal sdcard. From there copy with root explorer or adb to the proper location (/system/app)
Sims 3
When I had this issue I had lost the entire Sims 3 game and not just the launcher. The second post only includes the launcher apk, so I will attach both. I am only reattaching the launcher just in case the one posted somehow does not work with the launcher posted prior.
FYI - I pulled these from my stock dump I made before I loaded my first custom ROM, and from what I have heard they will work ONLY on the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959 and nothing else.
It may not matter, but I think it is best to install them in order. Also since the max upload on apk (for me at least) is 8Mb and the game is 74Mb I am putting them into an archive first and doing an external link, so you will need 7zip or something similar.

Sims 3 parsing error on samsung vibrant
Can someone help me. I keep getting a parsing error everytime i open my sims 3 on my samsung vibrant.
how do i install this on my phone... do i save to my memory card are something.

These are standard APK files. Basically they are Android installer packages. What to do with them or how to install them are basic aspects of using Android. If you plan on using an Android device as anything beyond a basic consumer device you should take the time to understand these basics because putting them here is beyond the scope of this thread.
This should help.
ok so i got it. but now when i use app installer to install the application it says parse error

So do you have a T-mobile Vibrant SGH-T959? It absolutely will not work if you don't.
Did you install both APK files in the correct order for Sims 3?
Are you using a custom ROM? It may not work in all ROMs. If you are using a AOSPish ROM like Macnut I don't know if it will work, because AOSP is built from the (Android Open Source Project) and not from Samsung/T-mobile firmware.
I have only tested this to work on Bionix and Auxra ROMs myself.
I have a samsung vibrant... I am using android 2.2 i have no custom rom installed.. do i need to rename it are something. what is the order of the sims 3 apk. can u list a step by step instruction list on how to do this..

Something is wrong with your statement. Maybe I should have been more explicit in my questions. This only works for US T-mobile Vibrants. It is an exclusive item that was (non-exclusive version now available in the market for $4.99 http://www.appbrain.com/app/the-sims™-3/com.eamobile.sims3_na_qwf) only available on US T-mobile Vibrants. This package only restores Avatar and Sims 3 for those who lost it, it does not provide it to those that should not have it.
Here are the problems with your statement:
You can not be using a stock firmware and also be using 2.2. Sorry you have to pick one as T-mobile has not pushed a OTA 2.2 out yet. This is not for Bell customers or other non United States phones.
There is no reason for you to have lost these packages if you are not running a custom ROM as they are not uninstallable.
So as you can see, there is something very fishy with your story. If you are just confused and not lying about your situation then you are running a custom ROM or you would not have lost these. In this case try re-downloading the files, use the link in my first post (Post #13) and you would have to be really confused to not figure out the order to install because they are numbered. If it can not parse these then either your download is corrupt, you are missing one of the two installs, or phone is not a United States SGS-T959.
i cant seem to find a simple reply to this question. why do the google apps need to be flashed? why cant their apk's just be installed individually? i know there is a good reason, but i was wanting a quick explanation if someone cares to give it.
custom roms dont come with market preloaded (at least mine didnt have it). flashing gapps gives you it
this is my guess. i can be wrong for all i know
EDIT: now that i think about it, i remember reading something similar to the post below

Somewhere I saw something about licensing issues if they were included in custom ROM's that were not licensed by an appropriate entity.
I meant, why do they need to be flashed at all? Why can't they just be installed like other apk's?

If you have xxx app or modification then you read the instructions that came with that mod first .
If there are no removal instructions then you either remove all the files you flashed individually or you factory reset the phone or wipe phone flash stock rom via Odin .

Haha, so you changed the title and the post so it doesn't break the rules anymore? Nice :laugh:
Thanks for adding yourself to my "watch list". XDA does not tolerate piracy in any shape of form. As a community of developers, ripping a developer off will quickly get you removed.
Think on next time as you may not be so quick.

but we already did and open applications screen remains the same, I want it stock
Install a new rom without small apps, like superleggera V5. Or restore whole stock firmware. Or restore cwm backup you have done before installing small apps.
Small apps feature involves many files and some of them can't be simply deleted, they need editing to get system work.
BTW this is a good question and it has never answered, at least I've never read an answer about that. But I will be happy if you will point me some helpful posts, I could be wrong.
Don't get rude boy.

1st: there is an archidroid q&a thread where you can post archidroid specific questions.
2nd: read Archidroid OP, there you will find your answer. alternatively either search in the main thread or in the q&a thread for "freedom" and you'll find at least 10 times your needed answer.
3rd: i am nice and repeat again the solution:
freedom needs to modify the hosts file but archidroid has a built-in adblock which locks the hosts file by default. so go to the archidroid app and unlock the hosts file. then it should work. but note that it is not recommended to use this method (read the thread to know why)
