Hi all,
I'm having some trouble with the bluetooth on my phone. When I press the bluetooth button to turn on, it does nothing. It doesn't turn green as it usually does and doesn't search for devices. I checked my files and there is no bluetooth apk file. I have no idea how it got deleted but I was wondering if there's anyway I can download it from somewhere? Also what other files would I need to get the bluetooth working again?
Thank you!

You could extract it from your rom and push it back to system/app.
Well that makes sense but when I try looking that up, I get a bunch of guides on how to extract and delete, but what do I type into command to push it back?
It is easiest to use Titanium Backup or recovery to push it back to your phone.

A simpler way is just to extract it from your rom then use root explorer to paste it in your system/app directory.

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

Hi everyone! I'm still relatively new to all these customizations that can be made on these phones, and I am curious about all these .apk files I keep seeing around. Everyone time one is posted, it says to push it to your phone to replace whatever file is there... The thing is, every time I read about it I find a new way of doing it. Some say to use root explorer, some say SGS tools app, some say to use easy installer, and I think I've even read to use ADB? I just was wondering what's the best method? Easiest method? Can you screw your phone up by replacing these files? I keep reading things like if you want to switch a camera in your ROM to a different version, just install the .apk! Or, if you want to use live wallpapers in a ROM that doesn't come with it, here is the .apk for that!
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks guys!

You CAN screw your phone up if you do it to the wrong APK (like /system/framework/framework-res.apk, if you install a bad one, your phone won't boot, but there is an easy fix, nandroid!).
Basically all the methods do the same thing. In Android "Installing" an app is as easy as moving it to the correct location. All of these methods do just that.
The easiest way IS to probably use Root Explorer because you can rename the old one just in case, and it will handle the system read/write mounting for you. Plus GUIs are always easier.
So here's how it works: user apps go in /data/app, and system apps go in/system/app. User apps can't really mess anything up, but be careful with System ones. Live wallpapers, things of that nature usually don't hurt. Camera is ok to mess around with, too.
Edit: my ramblings are probably confusing, don't hesitate to ask me to clear something up
usually most apk files can be installed easily by transferring the file to the root of your internal sd card then go to MY FILES locate the apk file and click on it and it will ask you to install. Thats it. You can also root explorer and just place it in the system/app folder then reboot. I install all of my apks through the first way I mentioned. On my wife's Mytouch4g there is no my files so use Astro file manager. Come to think of it any file manager from the market will do. Good luck...

An apk is a specialized application file used by android (uses the same file headers as .zip files).
You are correct that there are various methods to push or move apk's to appropriate directories with in the phone. now as to which is easier or best, all methods work about the same, though there are minute differences.
If you want to move apk's into a certain directory while using a phone i find it easiest to use a file manager like root explorer that has root permissions to move apks around. keep in mind that when moving system files most often you will have to reboot for the changes to take effect with out bugs.
If instead you want to use a computer personally i find ADB to be the easiest. After installing the android sdk you will have to navigate into the android sdk directory then to the platform-tools directory within the android sdk folder. then in command prompt type " adb push <directory of file on your computer> /<directory of where you want it on your phone> hit enter and all is gravy. keep in mind that pushing/moving files to your phone using adb works the best when in recovery mode.
as to which of these operations is the best is a personal decision personally i like to use adb to move around system files and root explorer for applications.
hope this helps
Thanks guys!! Ok, so just to be sure. I'm currently running the Malice rom, and somewhere in the threads is the LiveWallpaperPicker.apk
So all I have to do is download this, place it on the root of my internal SD card, go into file manager and find it, click on it, and it will ask me to install it? It's really that easy??
Or, should I download root explorer and copy and paste it to a specific place?

For that file you will need to place it in /system/app (it can't be installed normally because it's a system app). So you need something like Root Explorer
I think EStrongs File explorer is a decent free alternative, but when I tried it a couple months ago I had no luck with it so I just bought Root Explorer (good investment)
The guide in my signature touches on this, but BT has you covered. I am also a huge advocate of Root Explorer.
Just take the .apk, move it to system/apps and I reboot, but it may not be necessary... no need to click on it and select install, as BT referenced.
Thanks so much everyone! Just purchased root explorer and will try this out.
IT WORKED IT WORKED IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After I rebooted, none of my widgets could load, but I have live wallpapers again! I love learning new stuff! Thanks sooooooooooooooooo much! You guys are the BEST!!!
Odd about the widgets. Were you able to just remove them and re-add them back?
Yep, just deleted them off my home screen and added them back again. All of them had errors saying widget could not load
I dont use Google voicemail. Since the voicemail button on the dialer is set to google, how hard would it be to set it back to open VVM? I can deal with it but when I forget and press it to get my mail it causes FC. I have removed Google Voice from the app dir so it would not load.
Since going to the new Comm. ROM I have also lost Voice Commands. It also causes FC when I try and run it.
It took a lot of searching but it looks like if you use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) you can push the phone or dialer.apk to your phone.
So download the latest stock .zip package.
Unzip it and find the .apk you need. (search for the actual .apk name shouldn't be hard)
Then push it to the same directory on your phone with ADB

this is a guide to downloading and installing ADB.
OR you can just use the 1 key by holding it down..... that works too

I am very new to all of this. I have posted a few things already about getting webtop over HDMI. I think i am closer. I have the apk files for dockservice and portalapp on my phone using root explorer. It doesnt let me change the permissions or install the apk. I dont really know how to do ABD on a mac. what am i missing?
When using Root Explorer, are you selecting "R/W" at the top before trying to change permissions?

yes and i have changed all the permissions and moved the files to system. I am just rooted and nothing else is that ok?
I also have changed two of the .odex files to .bak but i could not find the third. Then I try to install the .apk files and they will not download. I don't know where to go from here

Hi there
You should not install the .apk's like normal installation.
Just copy them into the folder, change the permissions, and rename the 2 files.
Reboot.
remember to remount the folder as R/O after you changed the permissions.
Cool
This is gonna make me sound stupid but is there a special way to reboot? Or do you just turn off the phone?
I turned my phone off and back on and now when I plug in the hdmi cable I get no popular but my monitor instead of saying no hdmi signal, it shows a black screen but recognizes something. I feel like im getting closer!

When you plug it into the monitor, does it do anything on the device? Or nothing?
Try another HDMI port, if your TV has 2....
I only have on hdmi on my monitor. Before trying to do this i could go into entertainment center. but now i do not get that poppup nor does it show up in my notification bar

Cool, what OS version do you have one your phone 2.2.2 or 2.3.4?
i have 2.3.4
Which build version are you using under system->about phone->build number?
Make sure you are using the right files for your phone. Should be 3 different sets of files available in the zip file from the original post.
I am on 4.5.91. I may have put the wrong files on. Shall i delete all the wrong ones and do what i did before?
I just redid what i did before with the correct files. here is the moment of truth...
it is doing the exact same thing as before did i miss a step?
I just want to make sure. Your using the files from the AT&T folder correct? Did you reboot your phone? Did you set the correct file permissions?
Hope it works out for you.
I got my files from Version 4.5.91 Users Go HERE: (This works now.) ATRIX 4.5.91 WEBTOP MOD FILES
i also rebooted and set the correct permissions
Try this instead:

Hello.
When using the Wanamlite ROM I have found that when double clicking the home buttton it doesn't bring up the Vlingo voice service. Does anyone know how to re-enable this?
I tried to copy the androidpolicy.jar file from his deoxed rom and paste it into my framework folder, but this did not work.
Any help would be grateful.

I'm just curious- do you actually use it for anything?
I've tried to put that file in my frame work folder, but it still didn't work. I went to root explorer and copied it in. Is that all I have to do to get it to work? Will I have to do a reboot using cwm? Also, I use my phone as a sat nav sometimes, so the driving mode is great. It reads messages to you.
