Htc Dialer and Contacts apk

Does anyone know where i could get the apk for the htc smart dialer and contacts applications found in the rogers build?

Android Market. 3 day free trial and then £2.99

Thanks, but that is not what i mean. What i am talking about are custom applications made by htc that only appear on their custom builds, not in the market. I wanted to see if there was a way of obtaining them similar to the way of obtaining htc's custom keyboard.

screen shot or a link would be helpful

click the "take quick tour button" and you will see exactly what i am talking about.

You could download a Roger's ROM from the dream forum and extract the .apks from there.

@thefoss
could you explain how that is done; just from the point where you extract the rogers rom.

Well I tried installing the HTC Contacts and Dialer APK from the hero build but no success says it will NOT install on This Phone. Even tried the Smart Dialer from the Market and does the same thing.
OH by the way I tried to install them on my Mytouch 3G with no success Someone help us out on this Plz

Your def not moving over htc dialer and contacts to mytouch with out root. Its not just not happening right now. And superdial from the market installs just fine

That app is SLOW :/
If you really want all HTC stuff simply install HTC image...
The problem is that you'll need to install lot of HTC stuff with that dialer...
The idea is cool but... slow :/

HERO applications will NOT work on NON-HERO ROM's.

The HTC Smart Dialer and Contacts is NOT A HERO APPLICATION

Go here and download the Rogers-Wiped Nandroid image. When you unzip that package there will be a collection of .img files. Go here and download Unyaffs (I have only used it on Ubuntu and I have no idea how it will work on Windows) and put it in your android-sdk/tools directory (assuming this has been added to your PATH). Make a directory called system and cd into it. Use unyaffs to extract the system.img file that you downloaded
Code:
unyaffs system.img
In that system folder there should be a bunch of folders and a few files. Look in the app folder. You will see the .apk files there.
Hope this has helped a bit!

i guess the mytouch has to be rooted for this to work on it. they wont install via appmanager, but why does htc_ime.apk work and these wont. im guessing because they are system files. yeah im a noob

Make sure you have the install from "Unknown Sources" checked... Then try again. It is in the APP manager under settings.

ive rooted my mytouch, and the apk's wont install on cyanogen 32B 3.9.9.1

i would really like to know about this as well. my mytouch doesnt have a rooted rom on it but i do have superuser permissions. can i push it using adb? i wouldnt know what commands to use.

I wanted to bring back this thread because I have the same question as the above 2 posters.
Does anyone know why the apk installer wont install the contacts apk (my phone is rooted, and I pulled the apk from a rom that I've used on this phone)?

those HTC utilities are not open source, hence they are not included in any of the cyanogen mods. the HTC framework that is needed for them to work is simply not present.
your only option is to get a rom for the rogers/tim etc which does include them..

Extracted htc_contacts.apk
I've extracted the file htc_contacts.apk and I've opened with Archive manager under Ubuntu.
I've found many many XML files, some certs... I think the installer check the phone model and then says You cannot install the apk. But if the apk is the only source for installatione, we could find the controls in it.
Am I wrong?

[Q] How do I install HTC IME keyboard?

I'm running Hyperdroid V1.2 on my hd2 and I really miss the HTC_IME keyboard from my last rom. Thanks guys!

You need to find the apk file for it, just Google HTC_ime orGoogle mobilism you'll find it on there, then install it, go to keyboard settings activate it, go to new message press and hold in text box select input method and select HTC_ime

So how would I install the apk file? Is there a certain spot in the SD card I need to leave it? Thanks for your help!

Doesn't need to be in a special place on the card, but Its helps to keep all your apk's in a folder for easy finding. Once you've copied the file to your card, you can use any file manager from the market to locate and install the apk. Don't know how much you know but .apk files are to Android what .cab files are to Windows mobile and .ipa files are to Iphone OS. Cheers.

Sounds simple enough thanks guys appreciate it!

What if you want to install it to /system/app? If you simply use a file manager to open the apk file won't it install to /cache?
To install to system do I simply adb push it or adb install it?

You can grab the keyboard you want out of/system/app from your old build and then put it into the androidapps folder of your new build and then reboot. Should work, please let me know though

[Q] Installation of applications from PC to Xperia X10

Help me to install games in my xperia x10 from PC as i cant access mobile internet.

Either use adb from the android SDK or copy the files to your sdcard and then use a file manager from the market that can install apk files!

[Q] Has anybody gotten the DroidX keyboard working on their HD2?

If so, can you tell me how to install it? Every guide I've read so far tells me to flash it from recovery... Seeing as we run android off the sd card, this is not possible. Just installing the apk unfortunately does not work.
Thanks in advance!

You can extract the files, then place them in a folder called "root" in your Android folder. That should work but it also might not depending on your build.

How to modify root files?

I am a new user of Android. I have a HTC HD2 with OS Android 2.3.2. I need a program to be that the Memory card copied files in the root\system. Tried with some programs, but we failed. What should I do?
Sorry on my English is very bad.

use root explorer

where to find this program? I tried to knock the marketplace root Explorer but under that name, no software, there are some trugi but when I try to copy files I get a message "An error occurred on copy\move". I do not know what the problem is?

+1 for root explorer. It's paid app, but it's really worth the money.

root Explorer to my marketplace does not exist.

You could also use DroidExplorer which lets you use your computer to copy/paste/modify the files on your HTC Android phone. Use Google search for DroidExplorer and download the program onto your computer. Then you should be able to change or move any file from your computer, SD card onto the phone. Just make sure to do any changes, save to computer, then copy/paste onto the phone to overwrite the original file.

DroidExplorer not working on my computers. : (
I found the root ekplorer.apk on google and I installed it and now everything works great. Thank you all for your help )
