confused: chrome question with missing critical ... - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I put chrome in system/app in my rom and I got problem to start chrome.
it says missing critical functionality.
I get FC with go keyboard when putting it in system/app.
Everything goes find after I put them in data/app.
what is the problem? anyone could help me to explain it? Thanks.

A little more info would be nice, what phone are you using and what version of Android. Also be aware that Google frowns upon distributing any Gapps in ROMs or any Google apps not included in AOSP such as Chrome. They went after the CM team for this and thats why Gapps are now separate from ROMs.

I believe there are lib files (& possibly other assets) that are needed to push Chrome as a system app.

No. I put the google chrome in the system/app then it doesn't work.
But if I put in the data/app as user application, it works fine.
I am using htc sensation revolution HD ROM. I push the chrome to the system/app.
Probably as spunker88 pointed out, google added some check to see
whether chrome becomes a system/app or not. If it is, it give warning
and quit.
If this is the case, what could be the reason of go keyboard FC?

Blue Themed Gmail Apk!

Here are are some blue themed Gmail apk's that I made for the xoom and definitely work on the Samsung Google IO tab 10.1. You must delete your gmail apk first (I recommend copy to another location) then side load any of these with something like drop box or push via ADB. Let me know if you have any problems.
If you like hit the thanks button please!
Enjoy!

You have to change permissions on system apps after you move it.

Well, phooey!
Changed the perms to all combinations that I thought would work. Still no luck.
What should they be? Just like the original gmail app, yes?
Also, flashed Tasks 650 & Phantom's "In Paris" KME. Still, no luv.
Any other suggestions?
Much appreciated!
Edit: Error = "Application not installed" during install.
Edit II: rebooted. Now, back to FC of "Gmail process.com.google.android.gm"... hmmm..
Edit III: Wipe app data fixed it. Duh.
Now, if I could get the background of the individual mails to be blue type on dark BG....anybody know of any gmail apps that do that? I'd be glad to kick some $ your way if you are the dev!

Nice mod, gonna go try it out

Trojan Found In Camera

Myself and some others who run Cognition on their GS2 have reported that Lookout Mobile Security has found a Trojan in the Camera (hacked camera silent edition by potatoman as far as i know) this has just flashed up on my screen a few mins ago, in all the time ive had a smartphone and had Lookout ive never had a trojan so you'll appreciated the concern, i tried to uninstall but it wouldn't allow me (it's build into the ROM no doubt so would have to uninstall)
A concern no doubt, ive frozen it in Titanium Backup for now but i need some assistance folks what should be done in this instance, i could flash another ROM but id sooner stay with Cognition for now.

If your paranoid about it, delete it and use the stock camera app for now.

I already said it would not allow me to uninstall it, and i cant see anything in Titanium for the stock camera, just camera, this replaces the stock camera.

Its simple, use root explorer and replace camera.apk in system/app folder
Does anyone think this could be related to the auto-upload pics to Google+ feature?
This camera seems very popular here in XDA. I would just ignore the warning. But yeah, if you are paranoid, there is always the option of changing the apk.
I Posted this in the Cog thread too, but since there's 2 places to talk about it, here goes:
So full disclosure: I have no idea what I'm doing. Good start right?
I use LBE privacy guard to control permissions on a per app basis. After seeing the posts about camera.apk, I downloaded and ran Lookout, and found the same information as reported above, that camera.apk was infected with Trojan:Android/Bgserv.A.
I googled it and found : http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002116.html
I noted the app permissions, which is basically everything, and compared it to what camera.apk was requesting on my phone. Camera.apk for me only requests access to sms and location, no network access and no phone info access.
I'm not sure, but this might be a false positive. Like I said though, I have no real experience with this stuff. I'm just poking around.
I think it is just a false alarm, nothing serious. I get this also on 2 other modified programs. And the other 2 is just translated. I think it is due the repackaging.

No. The camera app doesn't upload your pics - the Google+ app does it.
Scanned with Eset Nod 32 and Malwarebytes clean as a whistle = false positive probably .

I hardly think Lookout would flag this as being malaware if it wasn't, i don't subscribe to this "false positive" way of thinking, my opinion is better be safe than sorry.
So in order to get the stock camera back ive to replace this in system/app, where can i find an apk. for the stock camera, cheers.
I'll be ultra careful from here on in about downloading third party apps.
edit never mind i didn't see the above post i have replaced the camera via root explorer.
TRiying other rom same positive on Villain rom 2.1 and Villain after change the camera for the modded one thread.

...like an app from xda claiming to be the stock camera?
If it's better safe than sorry, your best bet is to roll back to a stock backup you made before flashing
OK i went to system/app and clicked on install and replaced the camera, done a scan and it's still showing as malaware and will not allow me to uninstall, where can i find a genuine apk. for the stock camera does anyone know,other than that ill have to flash another ROM.

i did say from here on in, this is a genuine community for the most part,however you cant be sure there are not people on here who create trojans inside apps, i just noticed with this camera app the amount of permissions it asks for is way too much just for a camera.

could you just freeze it with Titanium for the time being?
The thread below claims a stock apk i think:

[APP] Google HC Calendar 3.2.2

Hey all.
Some of us using custom roms have been looking for and asking about the HC google calendar, as it has a better appeal to some of us. I extracted the .apk from a xoom rom and all works great. So i figured I'd post it here for anyone else who wanted it.
All you need to do is place the .apk in system/app/ folder. (I used root explorer to paste it there.) Dont click install since it wont work, just reboot and it will show up in your app drawer. I renamed the old calendar to calendar.bak so its still there if i ever want it back. Hope you all enjoy.

I renamed it Calendar.apk
worked fine for me on task 5.2
Saw the app after reboot, opens and edit calendar entries. Although the Cal widget FCs.
Did change the name to only Calendar.apk, but did not even touch the permissions.
Thanks for sharing - hope we can get the widget to work.
works for me. i didnt rename it. i thought i needed too but apparently it works fine just as it is. but i did change the permission to rw- r-- r to match the original permission.
personally i prefer the monthly view from the TW version. but the weekly and daily view from the HC version.
works great for me... thanks
does anyone know the way to let my tasks show up on the calendar. it just show up the events

I didnt rename it or change permissions. All i did was in Root Explorer i made sure i was in r/w mode.
Not sure about tasks dont have the tab near me so can check. I use a task program called Tasks N Todos it syncs with google and works like a charm. I can even do recurring tasks and create folders.
The widget from the TW calendar stays but doesnt work. I wish i knew how to remove it, bugs me having in my list. There are widget apps for calendars, but i dont must have a widget anyways.
I considered a screen shot but realized i have too many private stuff in my calendar. If someone would care to make on and ill add it to the OP.
Glad its working for everyone didnt think it would be this much in demand.
Hey medic97 - which rom did you rip this file from? I think calendarprovider.apk needs to be replaced as well to fix the fc's.
This seems to be lacking the List (agenda) view my prior Calender.apk had that I found very handy. I have been running Task ROMs.
Edit: Calender.apk with List view option shows About: 3.2-UEKMM. I restored back to it and will keep it as I like that 'List' list.

Email apk *to replace the system APK *Stock gingerbread

I got the email apk from gingerbread up and running on the nook tablet *will update with screenshot. I figured I would try and it worked so no more *****ing about the stock email app being crap. You can now fix it.
How to install:
Download here
Push to SDcard
Move to system/app using root explorer *or free alternative.
change permissions to:
Code:
Read, Write
Read
Read
^ Just like that.
then reboot
and
Enjoy
Don't forget: Backup your stock email apk, just in case.
Does this replace the B&N app when using their launcher too? I'm getting very upset with it constantly re-downloading all of my email...
You need to reboot for it to take effect btw
Sent by breaking the sound barrier
I'm having an issue getting this to work. Do you have to push the apk to the sdcard, or can you copy/paste it?
Issues here as well. The app isn't showing up in the list. Reverting for now
I already said you need to reboot for it to show.
Rebooted twice. It would show up as Email or Mail, right? Followed all the instructions, permissions, etc.

I did so. I made sure that I followed your instructions. I'm having similar issues with changing out the keyboard, though that may be more related to the apk I downloaded.
Did you guys put it into system/app?
Yep. I used adb because i was already hooked up and working on stuff. Didn't look at logcat because i was working on a compile config.

Of course. After making the /system partition R/W with Root Explorer. Would have preferred to use my own r/w script for /system, but when I got rid of my Droid I think I deleted all of my Android editing/modifying files.

It worked just fine on my tablet and another persons tablet. Check completely through your app drawer for it it should be called "Email"
Got it up and going fairly effortlessly...
the mistake I was making?
I am using Go Launcher Ex...after reboot I looked at E and M for Email or Mail...well, it wasn't there (even though I was sorting alphabetically)
It turns out, it WAS there in my app drawer...it just went to the very last page of my app drawer and was listed after Widget Locker...obviously NOT in alphabetical order, haha
Maybe you guys were also having this problem?
Yep that was my issue as well. PEBKAC. Sorry for the mixup. Thanks for the app!
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk
I found it exactly as described above.
My main issue was that I was initially trying to launch it using the stock nook home apps screen.

Yeah, exactly the same thing happened with me. Go Launcher doesn't always seem to auto-sort correctly.
Not sure if that's an error or feature of Go Launcher but it doesn't seem to happen all the time. Recently downloaded apps are placed at the end of the app draw. I like it cause I down load so many apps, I forget what I've downloaded.
Lately however, I've noticed that new apps appear in order with a little orange label in the upper right corner of the icon - I think it says new.
Awesome! Thanks, Indirect. This worked perfectly for me.
On a side note, this also fixed an issue with contacts. I was stuck with the abysmal stock contact list manager, because nothing else I installed would allow creation or editing of contacts. With the stock email app is in place, I can now use GO Contacts to create and edit contacts.
BTW: email addys open a new email, street addresses open in Google Maps, and phone numbers open chat in textPlus if you have these installed.
the download link is no longer work. Can you send me a new URL?
Thanks
Please ignore my last post. I found it at your other thread.
Thanks

May be you havent noticed that the Op mentions that it has the Desktop as deffault,it is exactly that function is that we want and dont care if it is Chrome or not.
Now lets see, does the Chrome you mentioned has also Fullscreen in the settings?
well its available from here
but i cant get it working on my note
pushed it into system>app and change permission to rw-r-r still no go.
need some tricks maybe.
It will simply not replace the stock browser in the system even if it does will not run properly,we need an apk.
