I am trying to install stock calculator from orange froyo to CyanogenMod 7 Nightly but every time i try to install it I get:application not installed
how can i get it in the phone?
Dude you can't do it, there is no such way that you can do a normal install with a copied HTC apk from rom. As they are not intended to install like normal apk. Besides you have to copy it to system/app. And you can't do it straight. You should be rooted. Also there is a support file in the folder of original file( dnt remb its name) which is required for its working. You have to copy both of them in system/app.
Repeat the question in threads like" android app development or some thing related to apps or developments, to get a procedure based fast replay.

Cm7 i think comes with a calculator!!! Unpack zip on PC before install then in unzipped file goto system app and delete calculator then copy the apk your trying to install into same app folder then rezip all unzipped files making sure you don't include original zip package and make sure you have named it same as original too ending in (.zip) then flash as normal,should work if not then it must be the apk is at error.

i attempted to replace most of the .apks in the system app folder with the same .apks from an ealier version of the rom (because i prefer black to blue/black). i replaced them in the .zip before i flashed it, hoping it would work.. but it didnt.. in the recovery menu it says:
....
verifying update package...
e:wrong digest:
system/app/browser.apk
e:verification failed
browser was one i replaced. how do i make this work? i dont want to use root explorer to manually replace each ****ing thing, and i have no patients for adb. i must need to sign the package or something? i never unpacked anything, just replaced some contents.. thought id be fine..
on a related note there may be more issues to come. unzipped the framework-res.apk to my computer, renamed it .zip, went inside and replaced the battery icons, renamed it back to .apk and replaced the modified file in the rom. who knows what chaos i might have caused there.. if you know what to expect and how to fix it please feel free to help!
if it matters at all, the rom im modifying and flashing is nonsensikal 9.5 black/blue, the system apps came from version 8.2 black, and battery icon .pngs came from 5.4 black.
Id try and resign the whole rom after you make your changes it should be just fine
you cannot simply replace the apks in the zip, then flash. after replacing, use one of the following methods:
if you use linux, use EasySign (http://android.grdlock.net/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=HTC Droid Eris/Extras) or the Android Kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246).
if using Windows:
Use AutoSign (http://androidforums.com/developer-101/8665-how-signing-roms.html).
Thanks. I'll get on the computer and give it a shot.

if you've unzipped the framework-res.apk then none of this will work anyway. You need to pull the images out of the old framework-res.apk and drag and drop them back into the new framework-res.apk without unzipping it. You shouldn't even need to rename it to zip. Just open it with a program like 7zip without unzipping and drop the png's in the correct folders. Then you can put the .apk back in the rom and resign from the links directed above.
Oh it all worked fine. I never unzipped framework, just extracted it from the Rom and renamed it, then replaced files, renamed back to apk, and replaced in original .zip. it worked great.
To achieve full 9.5 black I have to copy all of the previous versions (black) framework .pngs to the new Rom though.
I think the file is like, drawable-mpdi or something. Not landscape or non. I don't really know.. not in right frame of mind

How do you get the system folder out of an ruu?
Mainly /system/app
Uhh Ohhh!
Whislt trying to see if the ruu Would extract any files to my comp. I didnt realise my wildfire was plugged in! Will it be ok?
P.s it was a Wildfire S RUU!
It didnt change or edit anything!?
CM7 still!
Lol just imagine using a WF S ruu and ending up with Sense 2.1
Ontopic: Try using one of the "safe" RUUs found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
They are flashable files so you can see if you can find anything useful in there.
Hi. Sorry for my english, but if U want extract rom files from RUU exe you must do this.
1. Start RUU exe to first screen, and leave it. Don't close.
2. Go to %TEMP folder (strat->run->%TEMP or samething like that %TEMP%???)
3. Search for file ROM.zip (iT schould be in one of those strange name folders, you can use search tool)
ROM.zip contains ale files to flash wf. Radio, hboot etc

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It won't change anything. Even flashing an ruu of different region ends up with error. How can a different device ruu make changes to the wildfire.
And I think you are attempting to extract wildfire s apps and install it in wildfire . But it will not work. Those apps will be HTC only and device specific AFAIK. Otherwise I think we would have had great features.

Coming to the process of extracting system/apps from an ruu.
Donot connect the phone to pc. First click on the windows pc start and type "%temp%" without quotes and enter. This opens the user temporary folder. Now open the ruu and wait for a couple of minutes. Do not go with the process. Just keep the ruu window aside. Now if you see the temporary folder, there will be a couple of folders created which will have a lengthier name within the { } brackets. If you search in these folders you will find a Rom.zip file. Copy this Rom.zip file to a safe location.
The rom.zip contains the system.img and other img files. Now you should extract the contents of img files with a seperate tool called unyaffs. There is also an Android application in particular for doing that (yaffs expert). This is the thread to go for that process.

I think I've uninstalled live wallpaper stock app, I want it back for my x8 don't want to reflash , plz someone upload. thanx in advance...
you can download modded stock rom from development section and take the livewallpaper.apk then push it to /system/app/
don't forget to reboot your phone
thanks +1 , but how to extract the apk from that rom ?
just extract the ROM and there will be 3 folders (data,META-INF,system)
browse to system > app folder, there's a bunch of apk files
just take the LiveWallpaperPickers.apk then push it to your /system/app/ folder on your device
let me know if it solved your problem
well that's what I'm asking, how to extract the rom ?
just download the ROM that you're using (ex : update-GingerDX.v007.zip)
extract update-GingerDX.v007.zip isn't that simple?
i attach the apk from GingerDX.v7, try it and report if it works
thanx, but i'm using stock rom, And the file you gave me earlier is working fine, I had to push it to system/app
and then install it..
thanx
No need to install,just push it to /system/app/ and restart
So it solved your problem? Good to know
well i pushed it to system/app and restarted but no luck, then I had to install it...

my rom is stock odex i used universal deodexer and deodexed my.system/app and system/framework folders . now my question.
how can i install that app and framework folders to my phone ??(i tried replace with root explorer but it does not .(
how can i make thats to a flashable zip?
but
my problem is not that . i can make a flashable zip . its working fine but after i flashed old .odex files doesnt delete. how can i add it to meta inf for when flashing delete app and replace new app and same for framework
No need to create any kind of meta inf you just need to find any flashable zip may be of some kind of theme or update package of your rom if available and just edid it using zarchiver(android) or winrar(windows) simply delete eveything inside the system folder inside the zip except the app folder then delete everything inside app folder then put the apk you want to replace in the app folder. And you are done. Its recommended to sign the zip using apktool(windows) or zipsigner(android) but you can skip this step. Thats about making a flashable zip.
But as far as i know you need to have deodnexed rom to make any changes to system.
Anyways this thread should have been posted in q&a section.
