So I've been looking for a way to get the stock apps for calculator, calender, and alarm clock back onto my vibrant which is now running the vibrant6 rom from eugene...
So far I've seen suggested that we tear apart anomalous's deodexed rom and push the files through adb but I have a horrible 3g connection and it already took me forever to download the vibe 5 and 6 roms and don't want anything else from that rom just the .apks for these apps.
Also do they have to be pushed using adb or terminal or can I just use astro if I have it with rw permission to the /system /data folders n whatnot?
Either way I was hoping someone could post up on here some of these and other stock touchwiz apps for easy dl and reinstallation as I know much more than just myself have been looking for these apps to bring back to our modded roms.
Much thanks to all that could help with this
Pooped from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app...
Dont mind the skidmarks...
I would think it'd be as easy as pushing the apks that came with the stock vibrant rom to the current one you right now.

The issue is even if I go all the way back to my old rom through a nand backup you can't grab a back up as a simple apk through titanium and I'm unsure which files i could possibly manually back up to my sd using some sort off root explorer....
Thus my asking if anyone had these apks or files with a method of transferring them where they are needed... I know more then one person is looking for something like this

You must use adb or root explorer to "install" them. You cant just install them like a regular apk.
ADB:
adb push whatever.apk /system/app/ (do the same with the .odex file)
Root explorer:
Just copy the files from your sd to the system folder and reboot.
whoops... meant to post somewhere else, my bust.

Old thread resurrected!
environment: Vibrant rooted w/ Eugene's Gingerclone Final R2
I'm a lil new to replacing system apps, but I read up on this and by all accounts, it should have worked.
Using adb to push the files previously linked to /system/app then rebooting yielded the existing (AOSP?) Calendar still being installed/displayed/used.
Noticed the pushed files had different names.
Renamed source files to match target files and re-pushed. Rebooted. Calendar no longer shows up in application listing.
Used Root Explorer to locate files in /system/app (currently mounted r/w) and tried to install the .apk's; installation ends with msg "Application not installed" with a "done" button to click.
used adb shell to rm the existing Calendar.apk and Calendar.odex, TouchWizCalendarProvider.odex/.apk and TouchWizCalendar.odex.apk and adb reboot.
pushed TouchWizCalendarProver.odex/.apk & TouchWizCalendar.odex/.apk to /sdcard; launched Root Explorer, copied all 4 files to /system/app/ and rebooted.
No "Calendar" or "TouchWizCalendar" or "TWCalendar" etc etc in applications list.
Use Root Explorer to navigate to /system/app/ and try to install said applications and result says "Application Not Installed"
Any help is appreciated.
Does anyone have the Memo app?
Flashed nero v3 and it didnt have it!
Also, i had some important info in there. Will it be there when i push the apk to the sysytem/app folder? My sd card still has everything from before I flashed.
thanks
the memo app is awesome

For those of you who got the Market working, there is a Market update that is getting released. I installed it on my HTC HD2, but the same file would not work on the Nook. I did some searching and found one that works on the Galaxy Tab w/stock Eclair. It works on the NC!!
Requirement: You MUST have a working market. Follow this thread or this thread for more excellent info (and work) on enabling the Market.
Simply replace the Vending.apk in /system/app/ with this file (rename it Vending.apk first), reboot, and you are good to go! I would recommend backing up the original Vending.apk so that you can replace it if anything should go wrong for you.
You can use Root Explorer with /system/app in r/w mode, but it is simple to do via adb as well:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell mv /system/app/Vending.apk /system/app/oldVending.apk
adb push Vending.apk /system/app
adb reboot
**If you have problems, simply delete the Vending.apk, and replace it with the oldVending.apk
There is a newer version of the Market posted by devis and Xhorder in this post. Please use it instead. It fixes the weird star artifacts of this version. Instructions are exactly the same.
DO NOT simply click it to install. If it happened to work for you that way, you were lucky. You really should replace the Vending.apk with this file. Also, I saw one user report that the search function didn't allow Market searches. I believe they are the only one with that issue, and I'm not sure how they installed this. I assume they did not follow instructions, as my guide backs up the original file, and the person with the issue is asking for the orig apk. So, YMMV, but follow this instructions, and you should be fine.
Sweet! Worked for me. Danke, Herr Bimboy.
Very nice!
I actually found that the new market apk you provided installs fine as an update (no replacement of /system/app/Vending.apk needed). I opted for that as the safer option.
Thanks again!
Works very well! Very nice interface.
One issue: The "OK" and "Update" buttons are sometimes just slivers at the top of the screen. Doesn't prevent it from working though. You just have to be careful with your clicking.
Adding: This version doesn't have the problem of not listing all of the apps when you're in portrait mode. It simply works. And when you tell it to install/update an app, it does it RIGHT FRIGGIN' NOW and I mean Fassssst!
Thanks! Works great.
One question - Is there any way to get the fingerprint from the tab w/eclair? This would potentially give us access to some tablet-specific apps, like WSJ...

The old market did that too. I don't think we'll see a fix for that before a Froyo port. The upper search link doesn't always work either. The Market is expecting the upper status bar to be on the top of the screen, and we do not have that.
I wondered if that was just on mine lol , frustrating
So frustrated! I finally get my market working today and then I try this upgrade and it won't work. So I try to go back to the old one and it has stopped working too. I don't get what I did wrong. Of everything I did to get my nook rooted and working, this was the simplest part.
New version won't work in mine either. After accepting the agreement, it just closes.
Market 2.26 is supposed to be for Froyo+ only. How did you guys get it to Work?
Switched back to old Market.. everything is ok again
Tried this, got to click "accept" and then it vanished. Back to old market for me too.
I updated it with Astro and it worked fine. It's better to install apk's with Astro than others methods.
Guys, as I mentioned, do not just adb install, or click do a normal install. Save out your /system/app/Vending.apk and use this file to replace it, after renaming it Vending.apk. Then reboot.
I also tried simply installing it, and the Market app would only briefly flash or I could get to the catalog but not get to the details page of any app without force closing. That's why you should back up the Vending.apk file.
So, REPLACE the /system/app/Vending.apk, reboot and you'll be fine.
First, rename the file to Vending.apk
Use adb:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell cp /system/app/Vending.apk /system/app/oldVending.apk
adb push Vending.apk /system/app/
adb reboot

I did this too, I just saved it to my mircoSD card and open Astro, clicked on the .apk and ran upgrade and everything works great now. My market is working 100%
I guess Astro knows what is doing because before update it warns about you' re updating a system app.

Here is an apk for Google Talk that I have hacked to work on the NC. Rename /system/app/Talk.apk to something else and stash this one in there.
http://www.muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/Talk.apk
You WILL need a different keyboard other than the stock one! This one is great:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9826968&postcount=11
Known Issues:
App exits immediately if you tap on a contact's avatar. This is because the contact management dependencies are not available on the NC.
Thank you very much. It works well.
I'm curious... what did you modify to get the Talk.apk to work?
Could you post a link on how to replace the keyboard? I think you rename the new one latinime.apk and place it somewhere...
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using Tapatalk
No, you need to go to /system/app/ and rename LatinIME.apk to something else and then install the multitouch keyboard APK I linked to and reboot. That's it.

Did you also apply the hack to enable Gmail and Android Market previously posted by Mistar Muffin? I believe those steps are a prerequisite to get GTalk to work.
Hmm...this is where I am...gmail/market all set, original talk application didn't work, so I renamed the talk apk's to end in bak, so they wouldn't be running in the background.
I've renamed the other two back to normal, and have slid the apk from this thread over into system/apps. I can't install it from the unit (not allowed anymore since the gmail/market install)
Talk doesn't appear in my app list. Is it because I haven't installed the apk? Assuming this is the case, if I install it using adb when I get home, that should clear thigns up, correct?

OK. I'm going to assume that you have remounted the /system filesystem as read-write since you say that you renamed the original Talk.apk. Really no need to rename it as it is not an original system binary and it doesn't and will never work.
So, with /system read-write, copy the NEW Talk.apk into /system/app
Change it's permissions to 755 (rwx-rx-rx).
Reboot.
works great. thanks, muffin!

can permissions be changed within root explorer?
on vending.apk, for example, long press to get to the permissions option. Theres a 3x3 grid with 'read' 'write' 'execute' as columns and 'user' 'group' 'others' as rows.
edit: dont mean to get off topic but my market worked when i checked all the boxes in the row 'user' then rebooted. so maybe that works for talk as well.

I renamed them to .apk, from .bak. I had changed them rather than moving or deleting them, and meant that I had renamed them to their original names. Which still makes no sense...lol.
I didn't think to change the permissions...I had it sitting at rwx-r-r, swapping to rwx-rx-rx did the trick. Thanks for putting up with stupid questions, your help is greatly appreciated.
Link issues
The "talk.apk" link doesn't work for me; I've tried copying and pasting the link on both Google Chrome and also on IE9, chrome says the site doesn't exist and IE does nothing (acts as if I just clicked the refresh their default homepage).
Ok (after rooting) here is how I installed GApps (Market, Google Framework, etc) on the Nook Tablet, as well as the steps I took to stabilize everything...
1. Downloaded GApps package from goo-inside.me and extracted files.
2. Deleted the setupwizard.apk file from the set of extracted files (in the system\app folder).
3. Copied "system" folder from extracted files to tablet via USB.
4. Used Root Explorer to remount /system and copy files into their designated locations, and also set permissions (644) on all copied apk's in /system/app folder.
5. Rebooted.
6. Ran the market, signed in with my Google account, and downloaded/installed Superuser. Ran the binary update within the app.
7. Install any additional apps from Android Market.
8. Profit.
Known issues...
1. If setupwizard.apk ends up on your tablet you will not be happy.
2. A factory reset is recommended after installing GApps (though probably not necessary).
3. Not all apps show in the Market. Perhaps a build.prop tweak will fix this???
Enjoy!!!
this is a second good news after rooting!
anlong:
Use either wireless adb found here: https://market.android.com/details?id=siir.es.adbWireless
or use debugging toggle found here: http://code.google.com/p/secure-set.../detail?name=ADBWidget-0.2-alpha.apk&can=2&q=
^ instructions for that:
Download ADBWidget.apk
Copy ADBWidget.apk to /system/app (you can use root explorer or something.)
Add ADBWidget to your home screen
Anlog,
I was able to get SuperUser installed following the directions on the other discussion! Thanks for much for all your hard work.
Working on getting Google Apps installed right now.
Update: Well I have SuperUser on my Nook, but whenever I try to copy anything to \system\app it tells me I don't have permissions. Looks like I can't get root to actually run.
run chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
which version of Gapps do I need Cyanogen 6 MDPI?
Make sure root is fully working before you try to install GApps. Use the latest ones for CM7 (I think its from August). You need to remount /system as RW before copying the files and setting permissions. Root Explorer lets you do all of that.
All of this could be done with an ADB script as well, but I won't have time to write one today. Anyone?

Finally figured out what was wrong initially, root does not seem to work unless you manually enter commands. Attempted market setup, for some reason it is still force closing every time. Any chance someone who got it working could upload exact files they used.

I ran into issues copying the whole folder over. I am currently running the google market though.
do everything one step at a time, install the googleframework first (from the directions on the kindle page), then do the market. I ran into the first time through the market would not actually connect so I rebooted the NT.
*note*
each time you reboot your NT you need to go in and what appears is toggle the usb debugging off then on, same with the "auto mount", and I did the unknown sources as well (not sure if this is necessary). It appears a reboot resets the flags and our menu isn't actually writing the settings so you have to toggle it.
Push comes to shove, start over with fresh reboot. It took me a few times (as it probably did others as well).

that part is clearly stated but using root explorer and getting it to mount doesnt seem to work properly on my device. I have root and superuser. titanium backup works fine. for some reason root explorer on es explorer says it fails every time
-1 Go download latest Gapps and extract the contents to your HD. There will be two folders, one of which is "system."
-2 In the system folder there will be more folders, one of which is "app." Inside of app are all the system APKs.
-3 Detele SetupWizard.apk
-4 Now copy the app folder to the root of your NT SD card via USB.
-5 Next step you need to use ADB or Root Explorer...I used Root Explorer.
-6 Open root explorer, then go to sdcard and you should see the APP folder you copied.
-7 Once there, hit menu -> multi select > then put a check mark to what you want copied then hit the copy button.
-6 now hit back untill you're back in the root
-8 Then navigate to system, and at the top you should see button "Mount RW" hit that button.
-9 Then go into the App folder, and hit paste.
-10 All the selected APKs are now in the system/app folder.
-11 Now you need to give each of the copied apps permission by long-clicking on it till a menu comes up, hit permissions, then check all the check boxes next to "Owner"
-12 After you did that to all the apps hit the "mount RO" button on top of the screen
-13 Reboot the NT.
That should do it...hopefully I havent missed anything.
I used root explorer to move some system apk & its corresponding odex file from /system/apk to sdcard. I rebooted and found that I have moved some essential app like the stock dialer (it wasn't possible to figure out from the apk name). So now the dialer was gone. I then moved them back from sdcard to /system/app using root explorer thinking that it would undo the mess.
However the apps didn't come back, for example the dialer. The phone still tells me that there is no dialer.
What do I need to do?
Maybe you copied framework or something that dialler need to work... Try put bac all files. If that doesn't help see if the dialer is inn apps.

I didn't move anything from any other directory. I moved back each and every file to /system/app that I had moved from it earlier. Still no luck.
I didn't delete anything in this process. I don't see dialer in app drawer either.

Yes, you are so right.
The apk permissions have screwed up after all the moving. I issued ls -l command in adb shell and this is what I found out.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3973 May 7 2012 HTMLViewer.apk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8784 May 7 2012 HTMLViewer.odex
----rwxr-x 1 system sdcard_r 562553 Feb 9 04:31 LatinIME.apk

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14569 May 7 2012 LiveWallpapersPicker_gles20.apk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21392 May 7 2012 LiveWallpapersPicker_gles20.odex
LatinIME.apk is the keyboard with screwed up permission.
Now how do I fix it? What command do I issue?
fix permissions in recovery. or in connectbot or another shell program:
chown root:root /system/app/*.apk /system/app/*.odex
chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk /system/app/*.odex
reboot
You can also change permissions in Root Explorer itself. Hold down on the files, choose permissions and tick the first column and the first box of the second one. Leave the rest blank and press ok. That's it. If it still doesn't show, reboot. Fixing permissions in recovery does exactly this, but for all files in /system/app, /data/app and /data/data. Every time you copy something to /system or /data, you have to set the right permissions. Either in a root explorer app, adb shell, terminal emulator or fixing permissions in recovery.
LatinIME is the stock Android keyboard btw.

You are right. LatinIME is the keyboard. That too had got screwed up. But by changing permission, now its back.
However as I mentioned above the dialer is still absent. Under all applications, the dialer shows up. But not in drawer.
Is there any android application or windows tool to help identify which apk corresponds to which android application. Some apk files have no bearing to the actual application name. Hence all this mess happened.
Well if you open the apps folder in a root explorer, the icons of all the apps will show. So you can identify from there. It works this way in Solid Explorer for me. Also in system apps most of the apps are named according to what they are. Example, dialer is Phone.apk, contacts are Contacts.apk etc. For other Play Store downloaded apps, which names starting with com.xxxxx, you can see their icons too.
Dialer is Phone.apk in Gingerbread. The screenshot I've put below is of the /system/app folder in Solid Explorer. I think even Root Explorer shows icons like that.

How do I get back the dialer? This is a dual sim phone and only the stock dialer gives the option to select sim before dialing. None of the market dialers provide this option.
phone.apk is the file.

I have a backup. Unfotunately, I took a backup after messing up. So after re-flashing it with the backup, it boots in the messed up state.
I downloaded one gingerbread Phone.apk yesterday. I renamed the Phone.apk and Phone.odex in my phone to Phone.apk.bak & Phone.odex.bak. Then copied the downloaded Phone.apk to /system/app. Then fixed permissions via recovery and rebooted.
To my horror, not only did the dialer didn't appear, but also the phone wouldn't detect the sim cards. It would say no connection available...
So Phone.apk is affecting other stuff too. So I deleted the new Phone.apk and renamed the .bak to its original names, fixed permissions via recovery and rebooted. The phone still wouldn't detect the sim cards.
Then I went back to recovery, cleared Dalvik cache & user data, and performed clear data & factory reset. After reboot, the phone started detecting the sim cards again.
So this leads me to believe that something else other than permissions has a role to play.
