Hi,
can i download somewhere the original android contacts app? The one from HTC is very buggy
thx in advance
One option that is on my mind is to extract it from emulator as described here: http://discuz-android.blogspot.com/2008/01/extract-google-android-file-system.html
I'm just going to do that stuff, so if it goes well I will upload all apps somewhere.
...
there is even simpler method:
start emulator
from command shell run:
adb shell
ls /system/app (to see the .apk files)
ctrl+c to eit shell
than adb pull /system/app/xx.apk xx.apk
that will download xx.apk to local dir.
Extracted some apks from 2.1 emu and uploaded to http://android.fre****.pl/. Have no idea if they work on Desire (probably without root you can not replace Contacts, Email, etc). but here you go!
Contacts won't install, but email, music, dev installed successfully on desire.
Pity tha there is no way to install the contacts.apk. The htc's version sucks
What about the standard messages/SMS application?
I have a motorola droid that already been flashed too metropcs but the enternet & my picture messaging don't work any more on my motorola droid rooted 2.1 android they all was working earlier today i deleted a file in my sd memory card by accident an it reeboted my phone and took of my enternet an picture messaging settings by mistake i had too look for a wi-fi connection to sign in to use my phone again over the wifi connection but the phone still can make calls an regular text but no more mms messaging or internet any more if you can help me to put it back on send me a message on here
hey if you get info can you please help me out
I don't know any specific info related to MetroPCS, but I had a similar situation a while back. I would re-flash the stock ROM that came with your phone and start from scratch with whatever process you followed before.
I seriously doubt that the file you accidentally deleted is the source of this problem, but I would start from scratch either way.
re install

you need to hook the phone up to your computer and make sure USB Debugging is enabled (you can find in Settings>Applications>development> and check usb debugging
then install and setup the androidSDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and your ready
thank you

ok thanks im a try it now
Does anyone know how? Ive tried searching but nothing.
I have tried these that worked on 2.1 but couldnt get them to work on 2.2
adb pull /system/app app
adb pull /system/app-private app-private
The first command works but it doesnt pull all the apps, like the ones I download from market. Then the second command line doesnt work. Also, does anyone know how to pull apps from the sd card?
Wrong partition, they are on /data/
like post said above.. you have to look for the ones you got in market
so do it this way
adb shell
su
cd /data/app
ls
Look for the app you want if the app you want is not there then do this
cd /data/app-private
look for it again once find it you do this
exit
$ will see this then
exit
then do
adb pull /data/app/com.Andchat.apk "drag a folder into the terminal/cmd promt window, then press enter"
once you do that go to the folder that your drag into termina/cmd pompt and your apk should be in there
I can't seem to get any other keyboards to work. I have a stock NC 1.2 that was rooted first with MiniRooter (I think it is called) that OC'd it with the 1.2 GHz Kernel and then I MN with the most recent one as it had more options I wanted. But I can't seem to get a keyboard to work.
I have the gingerbread keyboard and thumb keyboard apk's and put them both in system/app with Root Explorer, reboot and nothing, I have tried to manually install them by clicking and using the package installer, nothing. Don't know what is up. none of them show up in the nook color tools under keyboard, but they show up in the manage programs...
anyone? It doesn't seem to make sense and I don't know enough about Android to troubleshoot.
all i have to do to try new keyboards is:
1) download new kb from the market.
2) install the new kb.
3) go into settings and make sure the keyboard is checked.
4) go to a text field and long press.
5) keyboard options will appear.
6) check the kb you want to use.
thats it. thats all i have to do for a new keyboard.
not sure about pushing the kb apk into syetem/app maybe its best to just install them.

my problem is that when I go into settings it isn't there to be checked..
I'm pretty sure that you'll HAVE to use ADB. Here's what I just did with the SlideIT keyboard on rooted 1.2. I put the apk on C: of my PC. Then in adb typed:
Code:
cd \
adb push <application_name>.apk /system/app
adb reboot
After the Nook reboots go into NookColor Tools, tap Keyboards and you should see it there.
If we're talking about SlideIT downloaded from the Market, then in ADB you may need to do:
Code:
adb shell remount rw
adb pull /data/app/<application_name>.apk
adb rm /data/app/<application_name>.apk
adb push <application_name>.apk /system/app
adb chmod 644 /system/app/<application_name>.apk
adb shell remount ro
Then reboot >nookcolor tools>keyboards>slideit.

I can't get the first part to work, it says not found. Where do I put the apk? I have it on c: on my comp.

Which part specifically doesn't work?
Are you getting that after typing:
Code:
adb push <application_name>.apk /system/app
If so, try typing
Code:
adb kill-server
and try again
The apk is in the right place if it's in root on C: (and it is). Typing cd \ is pointing adb to look into C: for the apk you're trying to install. It's probably not the cleanest way to do it, but I've just always done it that way so people might wanna paint me silly.

no go, still says not found. I even renamed the apk to make sure I knew how many spaces and such...nothing...
hang on, I was in adb shell, went to normal root, I have to mount it as r/w first...
how do I do that lol
EDIT: Nevermind, I used rootexplorer to get it r/w and now the keyboard is there thanks a lot!
Are you in recovery or is your nook booted up?
Reboot your Nook and try
Code:
adb kill-server
again. Then
Code:
adb start-server
And attempt to install again. If that doesn't work, if your nook is still booted up (not in recovery), try:
Code:
adb remount
and try to install. If that doesn't work, try:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount
If you're trying to do this with your Nook booted into recovery, try:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtd3 /system
to get read/write and go from there.

I almost suggested that, but it seemed so janky. But what works, works!
Glad you got it running!
