Hi to everybody,
I just bought a P500 and started to work on my own modification.
I already rooted the phone and installed a custom ROM (GB).
Before this one I got a Huawei Ideos 8150 (froyo); the contacts application of this phone provide native management of the contacts groups allowing to set ringtones, send group messages and so on.
As you know this functionality is missing in P500, so I would like to know if it's possibile to use the apks from my previous phone.
I already tried to simply install the ContactsProvider (I deleted the apks from the rom before installing it) using adb but I get this error:
INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE
I tried to follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111476
but after that when I launch phone or contact it says that the application is not installed....
Is there any way that I can make that contacts manager working on P500?
I know there are many other contacts manager on the market but this is not the question...
If I'm in the wrong section please move the thread in the right section.
Sorry for my bad english...
Thanks

Im using the stock ROM on the T-mobile Optimus T, donno if that helps, not sure where I can go to download it
If I ever find the .apk do i just install it from the SD card or do i have to move it to system/apps somehow? I DL'd some talk.apks for other phones and tried to install those and it fails, and i cant move them into the system/app directory with Astro... maybe i need to use some other tools? thanks, all very new to me lol

Need Google Talk, cannot DL from Play
LG Optimus V. Like others, I deleted it because I didn't use it... or thought I had. Now my cousin keeps sending me messages and they disaply, but I cannot respond to them. Nothing happens when I try.
I would like to reinstall it so I can use it to chat with my cousin. I have tried several versions of "talk.apk:, but all have failed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

link for gapps. Flash this like any other rom. if you want only the gtalk app, extract the archive and you will find the apk in \system\app.
Accidentally i deleted my mms.apk file,now i'm triying to use chomp and go sms but i got a problem on both. some turkish characters seems different on other phones,for ex if i sent i message to my father " kıl " it seems like " kgl " . I was solved this problem in stock app with changing sending method to "multi language".
So what can i do now ? Can i or you edit these sms apps (chomp is the best for me) . What should i do ? Im using galaxy gio and my android version is 2.3.4.
Thank you for your help. Sorry for bad english and stupid questions
I've read elsewhere the the stock SMS apk is necessary for replacement messaging apps to work properly. Why not simply restore the sms.apk?

None that i know of. Maybe with some apk editing we can fix that, but i don't know. Ray's screen is too perfect that all the text is too small..

You can download an app from the market such as titainium backup or my backup, that will back up all your apps and data, once you install your rom download the app from the market again and restore. All of your apps will be restored
There are a few paid and none paid apps in market, I use paid version of titainium backup but i have used my backup in the past

if your phone is rooted, you can edit file /system/build.prop. at string ro.sf.lcd_density=240 (9 from bottom) and change density to 260 or 280, than ALL text elements will slightly bigger. need reboot after changing.
Well frankly i don't think the messaging fonts are smaller... It's quite comfortable...
That lcd build.prop method was very common in Sensation section... but there we used to decrease it to 204 and with that you get 5x5 application drawer inn HTC sense...,don't know how it will behave here...
secondly, users reported that some market applications show incompatible if you change lcd density...

Hi Gents
I have my phone rooted with unlocked bootloader and i use stock rom .42 with Doomkernel.
Now when I connect my Ray to PC, PC Companion says that new firmware is available for my phone (.62). Do you know what would happen if I would start updating through PC Companion? Brick? Loosing root? Nothing? Simply updating? What is your oppinion about that? Thanks for support.

Thanks in advance.

Changing launcher
hey guys,
i´m having some trouble with changing the launcher components....

i already did it some time ago...but now i can´t get it to work again and this file doesn´t exist anymore
my steps are:
- open .apk in betterzip
- take out some .png and change it
- replace the .png
- save the .apk
- sign it
- install
- error, app not installed
i did some searches and found something about deleting the files of the "META-INF" folder, but that didn´t work either
i guess it´s related to the launcher not just being a launcher but also a system-file or something
so...what am i doing wrong?

Just put the apk in system/app change permission to rw-r-r and restart.
you mean copy / paste with a file manager or install??
and why change the permission? the original launcher has other permissions (i´m just curious)
/e: oh ****, it worked
thx man!
can it do it the same way when modding the framework-res.apk?
I have installed a custom rom Extreams LegendFuse2 from the thread here:

but after i have installed it, I don't see market or gmail and i can't use HTC sync to install program from my computer cann't log to my gmail account.
what should I do? how can I install these programs again?
sorry for my bad english...
Download Gapps (you can find a link in the LegendFuse topic), and flash your phone. Now you will get the setup wizard

i don't know . but i think you should try to set the permmissions. read for all and write for ower .
Yeah ,i kinda did so i don't really know where to go on from here , only camera and message apk is giving me problem , other are fine
WARNING:
Damn! I even did not realize I am providing system APPs to Non-Developer (N00B). Hey just dont replace them without any proper knowledge and method. You may bootloop the phone. There are many other things related with system apps like this. Simply deleting them and pasting other APKs just because you are rooted, does not work. Proper permissions, framework compatibility in various builds, data/media folder/message server mappings, etc are required to be reset or checked.
