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.

I thought you said it was a Deodexed rom.
No the stock rom is odexed.
i manually deodexed using xUltimate v2

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?

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

Somehow I messed up my stock browser. I upgraded the stock browser with GSG tools and now its FC’ing on me. It aint working on bionix v 1.3.1 anymore…. Is there a way I can reinstall a fresh copy of stock browser.
While searching, I found system dump for vibrant posted by wesgarner
HERE
I pulled the browser.apk file and installed the stock browser.It installed correctly but Now I cant find it on my phone. There is also a browser.odex file. Im wondering If I need to install that too in order for stock browser to work. Im a noob and not so technicaly
Can someone help me on this.. thanks...
p.s
Just flashed bionix V 1.3.1 and I don’t wanna flash it one more time. Because I just spent a lot of time restoring my home screens and other settings manually.
Would appreciate it much.
use root explorer to push the apk to /system/app then use it to set permissions to whatever the permissions are on the other apps there

Pushed browser.apk to system> app using root explorer, then used rom manager to fix permissions, rebooted.......it still isn't working! :-(

Open root expolrer long press browser.apk and then click permissions and check all under boxes under read (the collum to the left) and the very top box under write. uncheck all the other boxes it should look like a knight's move in chess. Then reboot
If that doesn't work work extract the browser.apk from the bionix zip it should be under /system/app and do the same thing
If that doesn't work then the only thing I can think of is to install a 3rd party browser or reflash

The odex file has to match. What firmware are you running? You can also try a deodexed apk from a custom rom.

I'am running KF3 kernel.
I have downloaded already a custom rom but when unzipped

it with some iso program it will give a error.

I attached a program that will help you. Unzip and install.
1. Open the program and click on the "Drives" tab then "mount image" use the factoryfs.img from the rom you downloaded.
2. Once the image is loaded it will be labeled "Linux native volume 1" double click this.
3. This will open up the drive and allow you to view the contents. Search for the files you need and then click the "save" tab.
I also attached a deodexed apk for you, see if it works.
Gonna try it tonight.
Thnx for your help.
Jobmanager won't install.
I put it in the system/app folder that's good right?

Yes that's right. It should work, have you tried rebooting your phone? Also make sure that there is no .odex file for jobmanager. If there is, delete it from system/apps if you're using the deodexed one I gave you.

Same problem here
I also am looking for the stock ICS browser.apk application. My wife has a Razr and I copied the apk fro the /system/app folder to her sd card, copied it to my computer and then moved it to my D4 and tried installing it with no-fu-go. I accidentaly deleted the stock browser.apk from my system apps while trying to delete a lot of the Verizon bloatware from my Droid 4. Now I'm stuck looking for the same app. I'll let you know if I come across anything! Let me know what you come across.
So i came across the stock ICS browser.apk on another thread here on XDA. Download it to your sd card and use root explorer or some type of file manager to move it from the sd card to system/app. After its moved to the system/app folder install it and then reboot into recover and run fix permissions. I used ROM Manager to fix my permissions and everything works fine again. Hope this helped out.

I'm not saying that Omega rom doesn't have the gallery app at all. In my case I can't find it in the /system/apps/ folder. It must've gotten deleted somehow. It'll be of great help if you could upload yours or provide a link from where I can download the app.

Yeah thanks for the tip!..I forgot I could extract it from the zip I downloaded..
Its weird that the app disappeared from system folder as well.. Anyway thanks a ton!
i wasn't saying you lied...
i said you should get the downloaded omega file, open it (pc\phone doesn't matter) and extract only the SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk located at system\app\ inside the omega zip and than copy it to your /system/app and make sure permissions are the same as all the other apk's in this folder.
make sure you mount r/w on so you can copy the file.
