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?

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?

I tried to download unroot zip but theyre images. Is there a site to download apps or would I need to reflash the stock? Is there an easier option?

Im sorry, I couldn't get these to install. I downloaded and tried to install. File manager runs install but gets 'app not installed' message. Tried to push but 'device not found'.
I'm a noob to installing apps. How do I push apps - new sdk for cm7? which folders? does it have to be in fastboot? Can a paid root explorer install these?

Didn't work. I've given up on HTC weather widget but I'd really wanted the Quick Office cause it was an apk when I paid tmobile for my glacier.

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

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!

You wont be able to get the contacts apk to work because it relies on the stock HC framework :/

Aw, stink. Ok, thanks, Gumby.
i've googled and i can't find it anywhere
i'm on the stock HC view rom and i really like the original honeycomb
browser.
can someone point me in the right direction.
i'm assuming i could just install the apk and it'll work
This works for me on my flyer

You need to either push to system apps with adb or use file explorer with root capability.
If using root explorer, copy then paste in system/app
Set permissions to match other system apps

xoo
xoo
Then go to data/data/com.browser/databases
Delete all files with browser2 (see attached picture)
Reboot

i tried the root explorer method but it didn't work
did exactly what you said and it force closed and browser isn't even there anymore
did i do something wrong? i do have root
when i try the adb method, it keeps saying device not found
when i try adb remount rw, it says operation not permitted
kind of a noob at adb, only use it when rooting devices
need to know which commands to use
No that is what worked for me. Do you have a Rom for your device. I would presume your browser apk is the same as mine on the flyer. If you do not have the HTC browser let me know and I will extract and post for you
Try again though. Just tried it myself as I had HTC browser atm and downloaded apk from link I posted, did exact steps listed, and now I have stock hc browser

otherwise i can just use dolphin

Not sure why it is not working for you. Last ditch thought is to get into recovery after install and fix permissions there.

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
