For those of you running ViperRez and miss the Htc Locations;(Footprints) app from Venasaur, I have a quick solution to get it working again.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yxhovh7z35z9zbx/jRrZKD36JX
1. Download the zips and two folders in the link and place them on your phone
2. Flash the zips in recovery first
3. Take the files from system_app and copy them to /system/app using a file explorer(root explorer) and change the permissions to rw-r-r for all files
4. Take the files from system_lib and copy them to /system/lib using a file explorer(root explorer) and change the permissions to rw-r-r for all files
5. Reboot phone and enjoy the Htc locations app again
P.s. The reason I use Locations is because I live in a rural area without internet all the time and its nice to have offline gps maps when I go hiking and such without them expiring after 30 days like google maps, so if its not to much trouble could you put it in as an option in aroma Joelz? I'm sure others in rural areas would appreciate it as much as me. Plus your rom is the only sense 4.0 one that I've gotten Locations to work on.
can you get the HTC Twitter widget goin too?
I tried but I don't know which lib or framework files it needs to go along with the apk's, if someone else knows then I'm sure it would be just as easy as htc locations.
mine keeps telling me it cant connect to the server right after it tells me to download, retry gets the same result. Cancel leaves the program. Thos are my only options. Any ideas?

I've added "Footprints_system_files_signed.zip" to the dropbox folder, try flashing both of the zips in recovery first then replacing the system/app and system/lib files and be sure you fixed the permissions to read/write for user and read only for the other two (rw,r,r)
I added those but it still says can't connect to server for downloading location files (before the app launches). Any ideas? Maybe an alternate way to get them?

If I didn't work I have no clue as I'm not a really a developer or anything I just noticed another thread that got locations working on another phone so I just took the files needed for them to run from the team pkmn rom (since its a sense 4.0 rom for rezound that had locations working on it) put them in there right place on my phone rebooted and it worked for me. When I took the files from the other phone and tryed it didn't work and gave me the same problems your having. Silly question but your trying this in a rezound and not another phone right ? If you using a different phone you'll need to find a rom for that phone with a similar build that has locations working, pull the files from it and put them on your rom. Also some people say to install LocationsInstaller.apk but when I tryed to install it it wouldn't work so I just stuck it in system/app rebooted and the location app appeared in my launcher finally.
Also not sure if this has anything to do with it but when I was running xXx I downloaded the maps of the west and midwest to use offline, So I already had the offline data for the maps when I attempted to get this working. Also its off by about 50 feet but when I'm hiking the backcountry without internet I can live with 50 feet.
My advice would be to try and install the LocationsInstaller.apk and see if it actually installs and if it does reboot your phone and try to launch the app, if it launches it should tell you its out of date and needs to download files, let it do its thing reboot again and if all went well it should work. If it doesn't I'm out of ideas for now and maybe someone else (developer) can chime in with there thoughts.
I never intended for this to be for the community but I figured if it worked for me it might for others. If all else fails for you there's and app called "Maps (-)" in the market that appears to have offline maps and lots of customizing but to get full features you need "Maps (+)" which costs $2.99 and im a cheapskate lol. MapsWithMe also seems like a good alternative that is 100% free
Nice this got on the portal!
Hi,
I did exactly as it is in this instruction on my Desire HD with custom Jelly Android and have an error:
Unfortunately Location launcher has stopped.
Any ideas how to fix it?

I have a copy of a Mail.apk for Sense 3.5 with this stuff disabled, but it is not for XHDPI...
Can someone hook me up, or how would I go about removing it myself? Thanks.
How about a $20 incentive??
To clarify, I want to be able to log into an exchange server and not have to PIN lock the phone, or setup SD encryption...
That would be nice to be able to do that using the stock email app. This is the 1st phone I have had that forced encryption on the sd.
A decent alternative is Enhanced Mail. Been using it for awhile just so I don't have to lock my phone

Setup my exchange account and all is good. Got to the point of setting up exchange policy and clicked on activate and that was it. Didn't even have to put in a pin.

Already sent out a few requests...the only thing with the mail.apk you posted is it isn't for the HD screen, so sizing is off a bit.
Try this one. Hacked that up real quick... might just do the trick. ;D

Hmmm...I see no reason this wouldn't work on the latest (ie, he still uses the standard mail.apk). Also, the mail.apk you attached is a fraction of the size, are you sure sonethi.g isn't messed up?
The only difference I see is the latest one is not deodexed if that makes a difference.
EDIT: Ok, I finally got to work. Not sure what was going on. I tried several different ways and it kept force closing when trying to open it. This time I deleted the original Mail.apk and Mail.odex, rebooted. Used root explorer and copied yours from the sdcard to system/app and then changed permissions, rebooted again and its working.
Again, thanks for the app.

Company I work for could fire you for attempting this.
Any1 has it working on Amaze 4g? I am currently using version 1.6 of xboarder's latest creation. And it hot reboots when trying to use it.
I am specifically talking about the widget itself.
I used it a lot on my DHD and really missing it.
If any1 has managed to get it to work on that particular rom, please let me know how
***UPDATE***
Managed to get footprints working by installing the signed footprints lib files.
Cant get the widget working for footprints or locations :_(
If any1 is interested, the reason because footprints and locations widget does not work, apparently is the framework.
Have no idea how to fix it but managed to get the apps working by freezing, uninstalling and flashing the signed zip lib files then reinstalling the apps.
Locations runs but it says that the phone has no location files on the sdcard and needs to update, tries to connect to server but no success.
Footprints, runs just good enough.
If, by any chance, any dev can check it out for me, I would really appreciate it.

Has anyone been successful in installing the Google Now apk from the Google Now for ICS Project on CM9 or AOKP?
If you have, can you kindly write out any instructions or difficulties you had in installing it.
I ask this because the Google Now for ICS Project thread is in complete shambles. I think it would be more organized if we can keep some instructions for our EVO 3D's localized in this forum.
I've tried the installation method of:
1. Open ES File Explorer File Manager or any other root-enabled file explorer on your Android device.
2. Navigate to /system directory.
3. Once you’ve opened the folder, find build.prop and open it in a text editor. To do this, press build.prop until a prompt appears. Tap the Open in Text Editor button.
4. Locate the line that says ro.build.version.sdk=15and edit it to ro.build.version.sdk=16. Take note, the value 15should be changed to 16. After editing, press the menu button and tap Save and Exit.
5. Go to /system/appand find GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.Rename it to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk1and save it. Again, take note of adding the number 1 to APK.
6. Reboot your device.
7. Launch your file manager app again, locate the Google Now APK, and install it on your device.
8. After installing, go back and edit build.prop in the same manner as in steps 3 and 4. This time, it should be ro.build.version.sdk=15.Change the value 16back to 15 again.
9. Reboot your device again to complete the process.
This resulted in errors not being able to connect to the internet.
The other method I tried to some degree of success was using theos0o's apk located here.
Now I say to some degree of success because I don't seem to get anything but the weather card and the "sample card" thing at the top, not matter if I search for things or not.
Is there a way to remove the Tutorial Sample card above the weather?
Yes. See this thread from a few days ago:

All you have to do is rename the app, copy it to system/app using a root browser, change permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. If you want voice capabilities, you have to install a few apps.
Having said that, I put it on my phone and it is nothing special. Maybe because it is not integrated from the beginning, it does nothing for me but chew up battery. My battery today only lasted 4 hours with 2 hours of screen on time. There were 2000 wakelocks trying to get my location, which I think was Google Now.

Search Function doesn't seem to do much good on the forum, I searched for Google Now in our forum here and did not see that at all.
Well, I've been on wifi all day, I've got a long trip tomorrow I guess I can see if it actually does anything on the way out to North Carolina. If not guess I will be uninstalling it.

ouu, battery killer? I don't like the sound of that
i was thinking about installing it, but i'll wait if it really chews up your battery that much,
From personal experience on a sense rom WiFi drops in and out regularly even though my router is fine and every other device connected to it is fine. It is annoying as it always happens to drop when I need data such as when I'm browsing Google+ or need to search something on Google Now. WiFi drops, 3G connects, 3G disconnects, WiFi connects, all of that creates about a 5 second wait time which is NOT negligible.
Anyway, I started reading up on what manages the WiFi connections in Android, and more specifically Sense because I don't get this issue whatsoever on CM10. I may have found the possible verdict as I successfully no longer get WiFi drops and it stays constantly connected to my access point.
What I found was that the default settings.apk from sense is what manages the WiFi connections so I decided to stick in a stock AOSP settings.apk file in there in its' stead to see if that helped. It did greatly help, and on top of that on all settings screens such as app info screens and app instalation screens I get the AOSP look that I love. It really does complete any 'sense-less' ROM.
So without further ado, I have attatched the stock settings.apk with a few mods to make it work on sense flawlessly. Please make your /system partition writeable and overwrite the sense settings.apk in /system/app/ with the one attatched. Please let me know if this works for you guys too. For reporting make sure to put your ROM version in.
Do the permissions need to be changed?

Works perfectly. Thank you.
Can someone please explain how to do this, including what app to use for the permission changes? I'm really not comfortable with file managing apps and switching out system files yet. But I really want to try this out, mostly to complete my vanilla android look and feel.

Cool, nice job man. This is the first I've seen of the AOSP menus, very cool. I'm looking forward to CM10 even more now. I wasn't having any wifi issues, but I liked the sound of having a little touch of AOSP to hold me over until an official release is out.
I used ES file explorer on Viper4G (you may wanna make a nandroid first):
1. Launch ES, open menu, go into settings
2. Make sure Up To Root, Root Explorer and Mount File System are enabled
3. Browse to the download location of the apk in the OP
4. Copy the apk
5. Browse to /system/app
6. Paste the apk and confirm overwrite

You bet...you can download AOSP status bar icons through the Venom hub and then apply them in the Venom tweaks menu. I personally prefer the stock icons though because they are a bit more crisp looking.
To those with wifi issues. If you have sense, go to wifi settings choose frequency then change to 2.4 ghz.

Hey Art2Fly, I would suggest you either make a new thread or change the title of this one... This is a pretty big deal outside of the WiFi issue! I am more excited about the AOSP styled settings menu! That's pretty significant, and I would imagine that all the devs making non-Sense ROMs will be baking this into their ROM. Nice job - I love the new look!
Premo - I totally agree on the ICS theme... Not quite polished enough for me yet. So close to pure AOSP without having AOSP... Haha. It's really impressive how much Sense they removed.

That's strange. Yeah, factory reset won't help because that clears the data and cache partitions only, but this modification is to the system partition. You could try downloading a Sense based rom (like Mean, Clean, Fresh, etc.), open up the zip file and pull the settings.apk out of there to replace the one you've got now...it should be the same as the one you had originally. Did you do a nandroid backup first?

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has been able to get their hands on the Optical Reader APK. I would really like to use it, but haven't been able to find anywhere on the internets that someone has uploaded it. While I am competent in basic root, etc. I don't know how to pull this from any roms myself. Would really appreciate any help if someone has the time to upload it as an APK, since I'm not rooted. Thanks!
I have been searching for the program as well all week and I've come to a couple conclusions:
There is one individual from the T-Mobile forums looking to help us less fortunate (Verizon) users with the .APK file, but unfortunately there is a .odex attached and he hasn't gotten into deconstructing that yet.
A lot of users are suggesting downloading a program called 'CamCard' from the Samsung App Store (also removed from our phone but downloadable). While this seems like a nice substitution (which I haven't tried), it seems it's only for the business card aspect, and not the all in one package deal that optical offers.
Update: If you do decide to go with 'CamCard', you would also want to add Photo Reader, but you still lose out on translation. 2 out of 3 features ain't bad.
RUMOR: It seems that someone was able to get a hold of Samsung, and confirmed that Big Red did remove the program. From what some users are saying (from their contact with customer support) is that Verizon merely disabled the program and may push it out in a future update. I've attempted to go through every system file and folder but wasn't able to come up with anything, so most likely it's just gone.
I'll be sure to come back and update this if I read any more information.
Stay away from CamCard. It's a piece of ****. I bought it 3 years ago i think it was and when I requested support they gave none so I disputed the charges with my bank and got refunded, It's probably the worst program I ever used. Funny thing is, I can still use it an update it with no issues.
Some of the answers are above. Using Hyperdrive RLS 4 ROM, which got Optical Reader from the international version. However, when you open it, it tries to update on Samsung Apps, and gives you an error that the device does not support it, and shuts it down. Tried getting it on Samsung Apps, and again gives an error that the device does not support it. CamCard is really for business cards only. Google Goggles does not do as great a job either (at least the formating sucks). Until then, I will practice patience....

Same experience as you, (with the exception that I am running stock rooted) it appears that the file it is trying to download is a database, and it is just over 50 meg.
I've read the suggestions to download CamCard, but for me 1) It just looks shady (IMO) and 2) It looks to only be of use for business cards. So I plan on staying away from CamCard. I have used Google Goggles in the past, and while it works, Samsung's Optical Reader looks awesome, and I'm really itching to play with it. I appreciate the responses, really. Guess until someone has time to put it together, I will just have to patiently wait and continue to use Google Goggles.
Well, I guess as just a minor update:
I was able to find both the APK and ODEX files from somewhere in the depths that is XDA. I attempted to move both files into the system/apps folder and change the permissions to rw-r--r--, but after several restarts and do overs, I'm not having much luck on that front. There was one suggestions (via Hyper thread) that I would have to change the build.prop file device.name, but I would like to avoid making edits to the build.prop if possible.
Any suggestions?

Running Hyperdrive 5.0 (before it was removed in 5.5). It works for a few seconds then, I get a black screen, then "Unfortunately, Optical Reader has stopped." .. Funny thing is it is working fine up until this point (the few seconds). Almost (just almost) feels like there is a service running in the background looking for, and killing this task. Grr Verizon.
(Crappy picture attached, could not screenshot the app)
I've got the apk and odex file pulled from an ATT GS4. Not rooted (and still not ready/willing to root. Eventually, maybe), so can't just drop them in sys/apps. Try to install and it acts like it is installing, then tells me application not installed. While I am capable of properly rooting a phone, I'm still a noob in terms of porting an app. Read somewhere on XDA that it probably needs a signed key for my Verizon GS4. So now I'm reading up on android app development and how to do that. Still learning so it will be a while before I make any progress. Anyone more skilled than I am that would like to take a stab at making a distributable APK that works on my Verizon GS4? You would be my hero. I can upload the files I have if so.

Do NOT use the odex file. It is probably used in phones that aren't verizon and has flags, so when they mismatch on app vs device it'll FC. Let the device build its own ODEX. Likely needs to be a /system app too. Try getting a build.prop from a T-Mobile user and editing a few lines from Verizon like brand, name, device, board, etc to a T-Mobile one. (installing their build.prop might work as well but idk). You could use a ROM like Synergy to block their "phone home" stuff or something.
I'm just spouting ideas here. They may or may not work.

Scott that makes CleanROM threw this together, flashable zip in recovery. Working for me on Odexed version of cleanrom 1.6.5 Verizon.

If anyone still wants this, here's the stock NC5 Samsung optical reader apk. I just followed the directions on the main Google code page for baksmali and smali to deodex and run this on custom ROMs. I can attach the deodexed version too if needed.
