I need to try this out tonight
I want to restore my old gmail apk because the ics version always gets forced to close. But I'm not able to install the old one, it always fails... Is there another way to restore it?
I followed the same instructions from ics to restore the old apk without success. Plz help me out.
use any file explorer with root permissions and or adb. Assuming a file explorer copy the old apk to the system app folder and paste, overwrite. Then either change the permisions on the app to match that of the other apps in your system folder, should be

It worked!! thx a lot
I had to reboot once but it is working Great! =D
I didn't have any luck getting the new Gmail to run on a rooted GB View. It still runs the old version (2.3.5.2) even though I exited Gmail, renamed /system/app/Gmail.apk to Gmail.apk.bak, replaced it with the new Gmail.apk, set the permissions, and rebooted.
It seems to be getting the app from somewhere else. Any ideas or is there just no way it will work on GB? I hate wasting all that screen real estate.
Don't believe this will work with GB, only with HC
Bummer, I'm holding out for ICS.
No go for View HC, Thx for share

What about ics browser... Trying to get my hands on that one

I doubt the ICS browser will work on HC but I will give it a whirl when I get my flyer in hand. When I was running ICS though I did not notice any major differences between ICS and HC browsers. If it installs and runs I will post the APK
Yea no go on ics browser but if you want stock honeycomb I can post that

Thx, but I'm fine with the hc htc one I have... Mostly using opera because of best download function (chose path before downloading) one no zip and apk errors like in stock.

Seems to be working great on HC! Moved old Gmail, copied new apk into /system/app and changed permissions, reboot and it works great! Thanks!

Does anyone know if the new youtube app (froyo only) has been ported to any of the 2.1 ROMs? If so, or if someone would be willing to do it, It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

help?
How do i go about installing this? I uninstalled the original app using titaniun backup but now wuen i go to install this apk it says something about installing over an older version (even though i thought i uninstalled it) and then it says uninstall failed. Do i have to use adb?
which rom are u running. You should be able to install it over the old youtube. It should ask u to upgrade. I use astro file manager. All I did is went to downloads clicked onto youtube apk and opened it and installed it.

I am running xtrSense 4.2.1
xtrom and xtrsense will not let u over ride some apps. They are built in to the rom. Try using kaosfroyo or tenzo's plainjane rom with cache2cache. If u decide to use kaosfroyo, go to the market and upgrade what he has installed. Kaosfroyo will let u view hd by default. There is a new youtube on the market only available for froyo
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
so theres no way (even with adb) to push that apk while using xtrSense? I have never been a fan of the Froyo rom as it seems to run really slow to me for some reason (even when OC-ed).
No, there is not. Checkout the threads, there are 2 sensefroyo roms out on beta. It's looking cool. kaosfroyo is pretty fast. check it out.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
FYI: The posted version is 1.6, not the new 2.0 that's still Froyo only.
You can use root explorer in the market to replace your old YouTube apk with this one. Yes its a paid app but its worth it. I have xtrROM 4.5 loaded and so far no issues. Just make sure you rename the old apk first just in case you run into any problems.
Sent from my Eris
Also forgot to mention this as its critical - by default root explorer will not mount your system/app folder. Tap mount r/w on the top right of your screen when youre in the folder before you rename and paste the new file. Then tap and hold, select permissions and reset these so they are identical to the old file. Then reboot your phone.
Sent from my Eris
Ok one more thing. When you rename the old file, just add .old to the end of the file.
Sent from my Eris
ok thanks a bunch, ill try that later tonight. I love my xtrSense lol. Ive tried the new TenzoSense Remix rom and honestly its nice, but xtrSense just seems rock solid when it comes to fluidity and performance (taking into account that the remix rom is only a RC1 rom).
I may very well buy the root explorer and not just refund it, although how much of an advantage does it have over titanium backup?
Root explorer is just a file manager for root users. I've never used titanium backup since I keep a backup of my apps and there isn't much in settings that I can't redo in seconds. I just stick with nandroid backups

Just came across this in the xtrROM thread, a modified YouTube app from Froyo that works in Eclair - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817528

My apps like Market n Pandora n just the qualities in general keep changing. Market icon reverts to green n inside I lose transparent aspect. Maybe Pandora doesn't change now that I think... Anyway its annoying. Does anyone know why. Is it cuz it updates w/out me choosing to somehow or a bug. I tried searching this but maybe I shouldn't have limited to virusROM. Not sure if its native to vr or wut
Sent from my TB (virusROM-kernel undecided) using XDA App
Not sure about Pandora but my market was doing the same thing. I read up on it and was told to reflash the ROM but make sure you backup all data using nandroid. Then after you reflash rename marketupdater.apk to a .bak extension. This will prevent the market from automatically updating. Once u reflash and reboot you can revert back to your old settings and apps using the backup you saved. Hope this helps
Sent from Ced's Thunderbolt XDA app - Infected with the VirusROM
the apps get updated so they lose the custom look and feel. no biggie, wait for the next VirusROM release, Im sure all the latest apps will be customized again.
After this happened to me while on my Droid X, I started doing this:
Right after the new ROM first boots, I make sure my root file explorer is installed and has SU permissions.
I navigate to system/app/MarketUpdater.apk
Click on Mount as RW (usually top of screen in your root explorer app)
Long press on the market updater
Tap Rename
Rename same as original, but change the file extension to .bak
I do all of this BEFORE I open the market for the first time after flashing a ROM.
This keeps the market from updating to the latest green version.
I love u guys. Can't find thanks button on phone but thanks. I really love this place

I really like the stock AOSP browser that comes with HC and hate the Sense version. I can extract the AOSP browser from an HC AOSP rom but when I try to run it in a Sense rom it FC's.
Any idea how to get that browser to work in Sense?
yes sir
you have to use root expolrer or any file explorer that has root access. Install the app into system app and set permissions to match other system apps

Then you need to go to data/data/
look for browser and select, then go to databases. There is a couple files in there. You need to delete the 3 that have browser2 in it, I do not have my Flyer on me so I can not recall the actual names. Then reboot
I do this every time I flash another rom as I am a big fan of the stock HC browser
Excellent. Will give this a try and report back.
**Update.
Ok, once I deleted the stock browser and rebooted it worked. Thank you so much.
What am I missing?
Sent from my PG41200 using Tapatalk
what do you mean?
If you are asking why those files need to be deleted my understanding is that they are built by the browser. So since the browser has the same apk in name in both cases when you replace the HTC browser with the HC browser it looks to these dbs and those force closes because they are not compatible. So by deleting them and rebooting the new browser creates corrected db on boot. If you look back in data/data the browser2 dbs are back.

No worries. Didnt mean to say "what am I missing?". Was part of earlier comment when couldn't get it to work that I forgot to erase.
After leaving stock for 4.0.3 (phone bricker 2.7) I no longer had allShare, app that I find great.
Is there an apk I could install to get it back?
Use root explorer and open a rom with allshare in it, copy the apk to your sd card, then go back to root explorer home find your copy, long press, then select copy again, then mount as r/w and paste it in the system/apps bin, voila you have allshare working like a charm

I'm also trying to figure out a way to get Allshare back on my device running 4.0.3 (SHOstock v3.0). I don't know who has the Allshare APK that runs smoothly on 4.0.3. I've seen (and tried) dlna.apk supposedly for ICS but it keeps freezing and crashing when doing the method quote above.
I am dual booting shostock and turbkey, with allshare on both, the dlna.apk, i extracted it out of aj's ucld4 leak and it runs fine ill see if i can upload it and post a link possiw
http://db.tt/y8jr9mjt, this is the allshare apk direct from ine of att leaks, runs fine for me

Can't be installed, need to push it to /system/app and set permissions
will this work on 4.0.4? i tried installing and wont, and then put in /system/app, set permissions and still nothing.. ?
I found the best way is to use tibu to back it up rom a from that has it and then restore it on the new rom.
This way has always worked for me

right I never said click in install I said copy it and then paste it to your system /app folder, if it will not pay then you need to mount rw before clicking paste. It will not do anything besides just paste no confirmation but when you open your applications tab it will be there

Interesting...everything I had found seemed to suggest that Allshare would only work with TW also. I'm running Task's AOKP also and have never been able to get it to work on my phone. I just tried with the .apk linked in this thread...placed it in the /system/app folder and made sure permissions were RW-R--R--. Rebooted, even tried to clear cache/dalivk but still nothing.
I wonder if there is anything else to try? Next time I'm ready to flash an update, I'll do a full wipe and try to place this .apk in the system/app folder before doing anything else.

I can't get it installed on mine either. I'm running ParanoidAndroid. I wish there was a way to get this working? My tv and blu ray player both have allshare and I would definitely like to try it out.

You can get Skifta to use as a free alternative but I feel it doesn't work as well as AllShare did when I was able to use it (when on stock). Still hope to figure out how to get it working eventually though.

There are a lot of alternatives. What makes allshare so spacial?
I don`t like at all the all black background and UI fo the TW email app so I would like to replace the email app from ICS/ JB stock ROM with the stock Google one.
How can I do it and do you have the stock apps to share?

I agree and have been looking for the mail.apk that comes with JB, im assuming you replace the original crappy Sammy one with the apk using a root explorer type app.
The black and white of the Samsung app is just not readable in my opinion; the stock JB is great
yes you can change it through root explorer or es explorer, you can find the apk of the email for ics or jb, then you have to replace also the exchange.apk as if it supports the stock android apps. make sure you fix the permissions too. I'm using stock as I hate the sammy mail
Ok i've uploaded them for you,
Make sure to backup the exchange.apk and mail.apk
use a root file explorer,
/system/app/
Place them their and make sure you fix the permissions.
thanks. are they ICS or JB?
I zipped the original ones with root explorer then deleted and pasted the new ones. but before I could set permissions my phone froze completely and I cannot do anything more now.
any advice?
They are ICS, but they are almost exactly the same as the JB,
you need to replace them after backing up, make sure that you set the permissions the same as every other apk in the system/app/ folder, after you finish everything restart your phone and it should work perfectly, if anything doesnt work perfectly, then go to recovery and go to fix permissions, it should sort everything out.
