How would you go about Porting? - Droid Eris Android Development

If I would want to port something from a Motorola Droid to a Droid Eris, how would I go about doing that? All I need is a brief run-down of how to do it and I'll hopefully get through it.
What I am trying to port is the Droid dialer to the Eris so it can be used on there. I have a Droid Eris and I have the Phone.apk from the Motorola Droid ROM.
Thanks for all your help.

If anyone is interested, I have uploaded the Phone.apk from the Droid.

I dont think that is what he was looking for, but what i think you really need is the contacts.apk from it to get the dialer, only problem is it will give you a parse error if you try to install, or wont show up if you push it. If you get info on how to get it to work let me know!

Phone.apk is not what you think it is. I don't know what the dialer is called on the Droid. On aosp it's Contacts.apk, and on Htc based roms it's HtcDialer.apk. Additionally there is DialerOne.
If you copy Phone.apk from a Droid to your Eris, your Eris will no longer connect to the network.

of course this is possible dude, this is nothing more than just a few apk's from 2.1 it's not impossible.
There are libs attached to it too jroid that may not be backwards compatible with 2.0. On alldroid there is a thread about it, but not much progress.

Has anyone got this to work?

Works great, just did it all on my phone while laying in bed. Took about two minutes.
is there a way 2 do it without that stupid launcher.. i dont like the set up
I love LauncherPro. It was one of the first things I installed.
Oh yeah, LauncherPro can't be beat. Make sure you shell out for the Plus version to get the widgets. The new Facebook widget with the latest update is very nice. Plus, the developer says he's got some more new features coming soon for Plus users.

Entering searches in the URL bar of the browser still goes to Bing. Does anyone know if the browser.apk file can be replaced with one from another Galaxy s phone ?

Try and replace Browser.apk with one from another carrier and see what happens, because that's what we're talking about.
I'll give you a hint, it starts with a "B", and ends with r-i-c-k.

lol gotcha i was just giving him another option
Bricked it last night and had restore with odin. Any other ideas?
I replaced my browser apk with one from some htc phone and from another galaxy phone. No brick, but didn't work. I replaced my original browser apk and Im fine again.
You guys need to be using a deodex'ed browser.apk and remove browser.apk and browser.odex from /system before you try using another browser.apk. I'm gonna start work on porting the vibrants system over to the fascinate tonight so we will see where that gets us.

Did you reboot? Mine bricked on reboot.
The discussion is almost pointless though, just rename it or install another browser. If you brick, re-flash with the ROM we have available now.

lol, are you telling me that if I reboot now I'm gonna brick? because i did this last night and I have not rebooted yet. Well lets see... Nope phew we're good... but yes pointless at this point.
If you haven't changed the files back it will brick on next reboot

Here is the deodexed browser.apk from my Captivate deodexed ROM. No guarantee that it's going to work on your Fascinate, and I have no way to test without access to a Fascinate, but it works fine on my Captivate. Feel free to try it.

Doesn't work on my Fascinate.
Using the deodexed rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793479&page=6 you can now install the browser.apk file from the captivate, however as soon as you launch the browser it force closes. Any ideas ?

I would give it a go with adb, I have found at times droid explorer leaves files blank or unusable somehow. Its a great attempt at a GUI, better than I could do by all means...just a bit buggy at times.
Also, give mattc evo build a try, its is the most stable for me to date.
try mdeejays desire hd build.

[REQUEST] Original Facebook.apk

Does anyone have the original (non-themed) version of the facebook.apk from at least Froyo for the Droid X they can pull off for me? I want to go back to my original state, and can't find the right nandroid backup.
I'm working on theming the phone and need the original app to start with.
Thanks in advance.
ok, can someone please just post an unthemed facebook.apk from the Droid X running froyo? I would like to work on the theme I am making, and need all the files for it to work, and I'm missing facebook.
Thanks

[FOUND] Does anyone have a stock copy of framework-res and systemUI apks?

I need them for a theme I'm working on for another device. They aren't in the Droid system dump found online, can't find them anywhere online, and I don't feel like reverting my Droid to stock just to get the files.
If someone could drop 'em online for a download, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Gingerbread or Honeycomb?
Froyo, since that's the latest official Android version on the Moto Droid.
XOOM'd from the XDA app.

Is there a SystemUI.apk in froyo?
Hmm. Good question. I just checked my Droid and don't see one.
Perhaps it's all in framework-res.apk. In that case, this would be all I need. However, it's also absent from the system dump.
I found it in the 2.2 update.zip that was on my computer.
Systemui.apk is in GB not froyo. So you can pull it from CM, LGB etc.
