Greetings!
Wondering if anyone knows of any sources for the stock Google apps for Honeycomb 3.2.
I installed HC (per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758 -- and am also going to try this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393904 )
I've been looking forward to HC, and am glad I finally bit the bullet, rooted, and installed it. But I'm still left wanting the stock, un-Sense'd experience.
The gmail app from HTC seems largely untouched. Unfortunately, that's not the case for calendar & contacts. Anyone know where I can get those apk's? (And if it's as simple as getting a hold of those and/or flashing them from CWM?)
I looked around on Google, but didn't find a good candidate to use (admittedly, I'm new to this, and am not sure what should work and what to avoid.)
Thanks, folks!
Jeff
Find a device that runs a asop or or close asop version of honeycomb and dl a Rom and pull the apk. Worth a shot

Attached are the Google Calendar (incl. widget), Google Desk Clock (incl. widget) and Gallery apk. I copied them from this ROM, but got them working on a HC Sense ROM now.
push to /system/app and reboot.
Unfortunately I don't have the Google Contacts apk
I can't seem to install it?

You can type "adb remount" instead of using a file explorer. I find that more convenient lol

I was able to get everything to work with root explorer except for the calendar app which is the one I want the most. Has anyone else has any luch getting the calendar installed?

Does your system/app contain the CalendarProvider.apk? It should be there in order to let the CalendarGoogle.apk work. Otherwise install aLogcat to find any exceptions...
OK, finally got the calendar working just by using Root Explorer. The trick was to put the calendar apk in the system folder and change the permissions there before moving it to the app folder. Works like a charm.
The Calendar sizing is a bit off, but I can live with it since I mainly wanted it for the widget.
HJ200 - Thanks for the Contacts.apk
Sorry I'm just now getting back to you. I knew I wanted to flash another ROM, and was waiting till I did to try this. Anyway, today I flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421074
And then tried the Contacts.apk. I am not familiar with adb, so tried with Root Explorer. With Root Explorer in R/W mode, I put the apk in System, changed the permissions to rw-r-r, moved it to the app folder, and rebooted. The apk is definitely there, but it is not found in the app drawer. Suggestions? (Also, I am not familiar with adb, so was trying to do it without that...)
Thanks!
Jeff
Anybody able to walk me through how to get the Contacts app working w/o using ADB?
My post above lists what I've tried. I've looked around and have not found helpful suggestions.
Thanks!
Jeff
You wont be able to get the contacts apk to work because it relies on the stock HC framework :/

Here's MIUI music app. ADB push it to system app (or use root explorer or whatever other means you use). Works nicely and IMHO the best looking music player.
Original thread is HERE. All credit to MIUI team.
It won't install. I pushed it and apk is there but it does install
Edit: never mind restarted my phone and all is well. Thanks for this, it is really nice app.

Copy to /system/app and reboot or, to install in /data/app, just short press and choose "Install" option.
This is just a regular app, no addt'l libs or tweaks needed.

Off the T-Mobile shelf Glacier came with Swype, weather and clock, and mobile office (powerpoint, word and excel). But I rooted and flashed CM6.
What's the best way to restore them?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Hi, you can download a stock rom containing the apks and then using adb or root explorer to overwrite the apk's within your system/apps/ directory. Did you have a backup of your stock rom?
Also I'm not sure if cm6 supports the weather and clock widgets or any other htc sense widgets. You need the sense launcher from those. You can also pull the apks from the ice glacier rom for the quickoffice and swype
What about if the apps are backed up in Titanium? Can they be restored from there?

Hello all, I was hoping someone may have run into this and might could give me some feedback.
I have my phone rooted, and use Handcent for texting. I have no problems sending pictures......and up until recently, I've had no problems receiving pictures either. At first I thought it was just going to be iPhone users, but have since experienced the problem getting pics from various phones and carriers.
iPhone4 - Verizon
iPhone3 - AT&T
Samsung Eternity - AT&T
There are a few others as well. I have disabled the original messaging app, and only use Handcent. I've had no problems until the past couple of weeks. I am wondering if maybe it isn't an update issue from Handcent......I know it has manually updated a couple of times in the past few weeks.
Anyone have any suggestions?
What do you mean when you say you disabled the original app?
What ROM/kernel are you using?

Firmware 2.1update1
Kernel 2.6.29
I rooted simply to remove bloatware, I haven't changed to any of the different ROM's or anything.
I deleted MMS.apk. I wanted to try to reinstall it, to see if maybe one of the Handcent updates caused the problem somehow, after I deleted the MMS app......but I can't get it to install. I downloaded the MMS.apk on my desktop, and open it through MyFiles. I've done a few apps this way, no problem.
MMS.apk you have to push to /system/app
You cant install it like you would a normal apk.

You can install it with ESFile Explorer if you are rooted. You can find it on the market for free. You'll then need to find a mms.apk place it on your sdcard.. then using ESFile copy the apk and place it in system/apps/
Another option would be to download GeekSMS.. it runs on its on without the mms.apk. I've tried it and it worked fine for me.

Ok, figured out how to paste in RootExplorer.
Now that I did that, I ran MMS after pasting......it still won't install. It boots like its going to install the app, then I get a message saying it didn't install. I got the same thing when I just copied the APK into MyFiles and tried installing it.
What am I missing?
You're not supposed to try and install it. You move it into the /system/app and then it should show up in your app drawer.

So anyway I can get asop mms apk to work with working mms? Cause I tried to with my LG thrill and failed with it. Nothing ever worked. I'd prefer the stock android messagsing app. But iI don't want to flash a Rom. I know I have to root. But I don't want to flash a rom just for that.
Also Is tthere anyway to change in the framework like where its like froyo everything is vannila like a theme I know it wouldn't be something simple but would be nice

You have to be rooted. The mms.apk is a system app so, to get the apk to install requires you to override.
Yes I know that!!!!! I have known this since I got my first android begenning of last year....... I was asking where to obtain one that will work completely with mms working as well

I accomplished this a while ago but I can't remember how I did it! I attached the apk I used, but I don't know if I installed normally or if I deleted the old mms.apk and used this one? Here's the code for getting rid of the old apk and replacing it with this one, which is what I THINK I did.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/app/
cp mms.apk mms.apk.backup
exit
exit
adb push mms.apk /system/app/

EDIT: If you want the stock android messaging, with no themes or anything, look here for the apk:

No luck. The APK Handler said the installation failed.
Yeah, it won't install like a normal apk. It's a system app. It needs to be moved to /system/app, and then set permissions to rw-r-r then go into recovery, wipe caches and reboot.
Before pasting it there, I would rename the existing rosie to Rosie.apk.bak in case you get into trouble and need to revert. Also, I would suggest having another launcher installed (like Nova, Apex, or whatever you like), again, in case things go wrong.
And always nand first.

Did you mount your file system as r/w before trying to move? Root explorer is a fantastic app for such operations.
Sent from my MeanROMed LTEVO using IcedOut XDA
If you dont know the correct permission the apk needs to be,just look at your system apps in you phone using root explorer and match it up.
what you are going to have to do is copy the apk to the sdcard then go into root explorer and longpress that Rosie.apk. it will give you the options there to move it or copy it, do either but do not change the permissions in the sdcard. move it to system/app then change them in there so the change sticks. also in order to change permission or copy a sys/app in there you need to hit the little button that says r/o up top to change it to reade/write.
reboot and profit!
cheers
