As most of you may know, the music download apps on the market mainly suck. Well about 5 months ago I found one called cloud mp3 down loader. Its the best one I've ever downloaded but its now not available on the markets. The link is there but the download is invalid. Is there anyway I can send it to my girlfriends non rooted note? I'm running the collectives cp1 and she can rarely find the songs she wants.

If you have it installed, it's already an apk, just go to /data/app find the apk of the app you're looking for, it will most likely have a name like com.(developer).(app name).apk
Just copy that into your sdcard, rename if you desire, upload that to some place (drop box works fantastically for this purpose) then just send her the link.
Super simple.
Two options I know:
1. AppSaver from the market will let you save your app into an .apk that you can send her. I usually do this with bluetooth.
2. ESfile Explorer lets you back up an app and share the backup. My partner does it this way.
Sometimes I have had success googling "download for blobbidydo.apk" and have found the app that way.
I hope this is what you needed.

requires root
and deodexed maybe?
+1 for dropbox. I use it all the time. You absolutely don't need to be rooted on the other end to do this. Just long press the app in file explorer and share it to your dropbox account.

He said he was running the Collectives Rom...therefore he would be rooted...allowing him access to the data/app folder. Deodex has nothing to do with this. Root is only needed on his end. She can then download and install without root...but before you can correct me...she would need "install from unknown sources" selected.

I know your pain. But I bought a 32gig card and spent an evening copying all the old 8 and 16 gig card to folders on my pc (using an adaptor card and not through the phones and tablets) then merged everything into one folder and put that on the 32. By your screen name I'm seeing you have at least three cards to comb through!
Don't empty the recycle bin on your pc for at least a week after.

This Avatar.apk is for those who have upgraded to Froyo with an unofficial build that doesn't include a working Avatar app, but desire a working Avatar.apk that launches the DRM protected copy of the movie included with the phone.
Some caveats/disclaimers: I don't own a Vibrant; I have an i9000 Galaxy S and a Nexus One. I don't plan on providing much support for this, but it shouldn't need it. All the usual "I am not responsible for damage to your phone" disclaimers apply; if you don't know how to use adb and don't have root, go find out how in the appropriate FAQs.
Back story: My friend owns a Vibrant and hated it (slow/laggy). I thought upgrading it to a Froyo build would make him happy, so I did with Team Whiskey's Onyx version (very slick, better than the best ROM I have on i9000 IMHO). He was disappointed that the Avatar shortcut/app on the desktop disappeared, so I pulled the apk from a 2.1 build and pushed it to the phone, but it didn't work.
A little investigation showed that the apk file has an xml resource that is hard-coded to look for the encrypted/drm copy of the movie in the path "/sdcard/sd/movie/AVATAR.dcf", but the Froyo builds mount the external card as "/sdcard/external_sd/" so the app doesn't work.
All I did here was edit the xml file to the correct path, repacked the apk, signed it, pushed it to the phone with adb to /system/app. The apk was then available to add as a desktop shortcut again, and it opens the movie as expected.
The file won't install like a regular apk (at least it wouldn't for me), it must be pushed to /system/app to work - use this command:
adb push <your path>/Avatar.apk /system/app
You could also probably download the apk and copy it over to /system/app with Root Explorer or any other file manager that lets you write to /system/app.
I have only tested this with Team Whiskey's Onyx build and by pushing via adb. I can't test any other ROM since I don't own a Vibrant.
I know a lot of people consider the Avatar.apk to be bloatware and ask how to remove it, but I see a lot of people asking for it back because it's convenient and a great show-off feature on the phone for non-Galaxy S owners.
Additional disclaimers: I did quite a bit of searching here on XDA for an apk that took this approach and didn't find one. If it's already out there, I apologize for this post and can link to it. All I found was an apk that requires you to have a non-encrypted mp4 copy of the movie. I also found a lot of bad information about you could use the original 2.1 version if you just de-odexed it and other stuff like that. Again, this will ONLY work on a 2.2 Froyo ROM because of the change in mounting path of the external sdcard.
credit/thanks to Brut.all for his apktool and to jessetbenton for his Mac-friendly android auto signing applet.
Edit: I only modded the English language part of the apk, it may not work properly if you're using a different language.
Here's the apk, enjoy:
Wow, that first post is a lot of words for such a simple posted apk! LOL. I just wanted to make sure to cover all the bases for any criticisms I might be getting.
Thanks dude, I kept trying to install the old avatar.apk, and when I tried opening avatar, it kept giving me "file not found"
Oh, btw works on Eugene's Macnut R12
You could also just make a folder named "sd" on the sd card, and move the Movie folder there. Works just fine for me.

Yes, but then you lose that 1gb of space on your internal sdcard.
I'd have gone for a symlink approach instead, but the internal card is plain old FAT32 and doesn't support them.
Or just use the stock froyo Avatar.apk? Lol. Worked for me...

Ah, that's good. Where'd you get it? I thought there wasn't a Vibrant specific Froyo yet - all I see on samfirmware.com are 2.1 builds. Like I said, I'm not a Vibrant owner, so don't really keep up with its developments.

Yeah, to each his own.
My internal 16gb on the i9000 is almost full (nandroid backups, media, etc), and I have an external 16gb that's more than half full. I prefer to keep large media files on the external, obviously YMMV.
Glad you had a solution that works for you.

Thanks for the response.
I wish someone had answered any one of the dozens of posts I read where people were complaining or asking about this with that info. Would have saved me the trouble here.
Actually, it worked out well for me anyways. I have a couple of apps with the same problem where I really want to force them to use the external card instead of the internal. Now I've learned an approach I can use to "fix" or mod those apps. I wish app developers would let you specify a preferred working directory - hard coded paths aren't usually a good idea in my opinion.
At any rate, based on the number of views of the thread, and over 140 downloads between my version and yours, seems like a lot of people didn't know about this, and we've given them a working solution. That's a good thing in my opinion.
can u make this work from terminal?
Please help me to get Avatar working !
Iam on Darky's 10.2 ROM(GB 2.3.4), bullet kernel & KB5 modem.
and the movie is at the same folder structure since, my phone came stock.
I tried:
1.) I cleared drm content and drm protected content & restarted my phone two times- then downloaded the app from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774078 but it won't install.
2.) I used the Android customisation suite from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894794 and created a zip with just the avatar.apk , cleaned dalvik cache, and the installed the zip from CWM, still the application just clicked, but no response/error message whatsoever.
3.) I downloaded a terminal emulator & tried to push the apk from this thread and I get adb:not found.
Please guide me, what needs to be done, as I haven't seen the movie [email protected]!
Great work I know this has been a huge issue for many many people ...I no longer have avatar on my phone but I sure missed the launcher at one time back when I first flashed my phone

Buddy, I haven't been able to get it working, thru any of these methods!
I guess, I might have been doing something wrong in ADB Push. But I even tried with a Root File Explorer and replacing the Default Application that i had flashed using zip generated by Android Customization Tool(ACS) , with one provided in the two links(one of them, gives application not installed,probably the bigger in size one, and so installed the other one, thereby replacing the default that I talked above). but for no good.
Avatar, still doesn't work. Please help, guys!!
OK, here's one for the gurus: I've got my I535 rooted and CWM recovery in place, but I've noticed that there is no link to the "\mnt\extSDcard" folder in the \ (root) folder. I created one, linked it properly, but it doesn't survive a reboot.
How do you make one permanently? (or am I missing things entirely?)
use some root file explorer
check this
/mnt/extsd/
in my case this is the external sd
hope it helps u as wrll

Yeah, that's my point. It _is_ in the /mnt folder as "extSdCard" for the Samsung Galaxy S3, but there's no symlink in the root folder pointing to it and a lot of my programs get really *****y.
I can easily paste a symlink in there, but it goes away. Sounds like a job for adbd (insecure) when I get home and have my laptop to play with. I've only had this sucker since Thursday afternoon, and I've worked 36 hours Friday, Saturday & today... :silly:
I thought I'd be a smart-a$$ and name it "SD-ext" so ClockWorkMod would find it, but homey don't play that.
can someone extract this from the original rom and post it please.

Verizon Visual Voice Mail Galaxy S4 Custom ROM
Ok. I figured it out.
Yes, its all over the place, but certainly not in any usable form.
So for the benefit of other noobs, like myself, here is what I am running, and what I did.
I have a galaxy s4, currently running Hyperdrive ROM v 7.
I was able to download the VisualVoiceMail.apk file from somewhere on this site. If you cannot locate it, send me a pm and I will be happy to email it.
Also, as always, its a good idea to have a nandroid backup that is fairly recent just in case things go sideways on you.
Second, after reading many different posts, none having anything in specific with a Galaxy S4, I downloaded Root Browser from Google Play.
Next, i had the apk file in my devices download directory.
Using Root Browser, browse to the devices system/app directory and view the permissions of 1 or 2 apps. You can view the permissions by holding down on the app and a menu will pop up and select permissions. View those permissions and copy them down.
Next using Root Browser, browse to the voice mail apk file, and hold down on the file until the menu pops up and make sure the permissions here are identical to the apps you previously viewed. I had to change one or two. save changes.
Next, copy the file to the devices system/app directory using Root browser.
Next reboot.
The app should appear in your app drawer and you should be good to go.
Verizon Visual Mail file
just in case, I have attached file if anyone needs.

Do I do a direct download to the phone? or or to desktop and than to system. and so on. again any help is appreciated This is why I go to YouTube and have a 8th grader show me how to do it.

I'm on MK2 with Surge's tether. I found it much easier to unpack the zip on my desktop and move the files to the root of my external SdCard. Once you have all four files in the folder on your external SdCard, download Terminal Emulator to your phone from the play store, open it and type in the commands letter for letter (double check your spelling and spacing). The script runs, the phone reboots, and voila tether works through the hotspot app no problem.
---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
In addition if you use the script through Terminal Emulator you have a nice way to return to stock - just type in the commands for the untether script.
I had to undo the tether to accept the OTA from MJ7 to MK2. However, the next OTA should be kitkat, so who knows if this will even be an issue or if we'll still be able to tether this way.
Question on the root on the sd card..Do I make a file, no file on in E'S file mgr.

I'd say it doesn't really matter how the file (frameworks-res.apk) gets to the root of your SD card. From there, using a file manager (I usually use File Manager, be sure to check root explorer and system write in the settings) locate where ever you placed the file, highlight it by pressing and holding, there should be an option to copy the file. Select that. Press home (which brings you to the root of your SD card), then press the "Up" button (which essentially begins accessing system files) until you can see the system folder. Paste here. Press and hold the file again and select "Permissions." Check The read and write of the first row, and read only of the next two rows. Move the file. Navigate to the framework folder and drop and overwrite. Reboot.

The system file. If there is one (depends on file manager used) it should be the option below the root explorer option.

I guess it's called "Richnote." I'm wondering if someone could export that APK and upload it somewhere so that I can try and get it running on a Galaxy S4. I found http://koolwap.in/games_app/dld.php...ba/comlgeapprichnote-30200111-v32.htm&ext=apk, but the phone just says "application not installed." I have a notes backup from an old E970 that I'd like to view, but I obviously can't with the GS4 (the format is .rnt, whatever that is), and I don't have any other LG device to view them from.
Here it is.
I extracted the app from my phone using Stock 4.1.2
Its called Rich Note
Here is the
PHP:
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/x483o5gtq3o8a8c/com.lge.app.richnote.apk"]link[/URL]
I have this one. Copy to system app and set permissions. Doesn't work with kitkat in ART mode.

Unfortunately, for both of those APKs, the phone just says application not installed.
It won't install as a normal app. You need to copy it with a root explorer to system apps, set permissions and reboot.

That probably explains it. The phone currently isn't rooted.
Regarding Perfect Viewer, it's unable to find the "backup.rnt" file that Richnote made during the export, even if I tell something like ES File Explorer to open that file with Perfect Viewer.
So there's no way to install that app without rooting?
So I rooted, copied one of the two APKs that were posted here into /system/app, changed the permissions to match the other APKs that I saw, rebooted, and nothing new showed up. Do these APKs need a matching OPEX file? Both of the Richnote APKs do this.

The one I posted shows up as "notebook" in app drawer and it doesn't have an odex file. Not sure if that would keep it from working on an odexd ROM. It is a modded apk. and I am pretty sure I found in a Samsung forum.
Oh...and googling .rnt it says it is files for CNC machines, but there are some free programs to open them.

Ah... I'm really confused, then. I tried putting some random APKs in /system/app and they ended up showing up after a reboot, so I'm not sure what's happening with the APKs that you guys posted.
I might just go to a T-Mobile store to open up my Richnotes backup and email all of the text to myself.
This is where I got it from downloaded the zip and pulled app from it. Does it look like the same note app you are trying to get?

I'm not sure what it looked like before (I barely used the phone), but I don't think that that's it.
I think I skipped out on your APK (the first two that I mentioned, one was from Alex_XV6700, the second was RichNote_a003.apk from a stock AT&T ROM for the E970). I put it in /system/apps, and the app works, but it's a different app overall, unfortunately. Thanks anyway.
I think the idea of going to a store to get the notes would be the easiest.
