Hi all,
I'm running MCR 3.1, and am looking for the Stock Android Contacts app to replace the HTC's People app which is heavy, and slow.
Yes, I screwed up by flashing [MOD] Dialer/Contacts.apk 2.8 Based off ChainsDD Dialer that can be found in the HTC Dream/G1 thread. I didn't notice that the app is for the G1 :-(
Anyway, after flashing the app now resides in /system/app/Contacts.apk. I tried to uninstall it but failed. I then tried to remove it via adb by doing:
abd shell rm -f /system/app/Contacts.apk, got the error message "Directory not empty".
I tried removing the app using a file brower (Android mate - which has superuser access), still failed to uninstall.
Need help to remove it permanently from /system/app as this app which I wrongly flashed crashes when launched.
Thanks!

I cant seem to uninstall any of the stock apps that came with the phone. I can delete all the apk files by simply doing rm file.apk, but that only removes the installation file, it doesnt actually uninstall. i found various threads saying they can be uninstalled using the package manager, but i dont have any success.
# pm uninstall com.sprint.zone
pm uninstall com.sprint.zone
Failure
is the error i receive, and that is regardless if which stock app i try to uninstall. ive rooted using the standard method detailed here, not the unrevoked, and i use 'su' before attempting my uninstall, still no luck.
any ideas?
Download Titanium Backup from the market.
tried that this morning, and it does the same thing. the apk file was removed, but settings > applications > manage applications, stil has it in the list
*edit*
not sure if i just have it rooted in some weird way, but mounting the /system as rw still wont allow me to delete files. it tells me it deletes them, but they remain after a reboot. if i go thru recovery instead, it seems to resolve the problem, apps removed
I get the same "failure" error message. What does Titanium Backup have to do with this thread?
Do you have Busy Box installed with Titanium?

Try pushing via ADB
application not installing?
Hi, when I am installing stock.apk and the widget it goes to the installer and just cancels on me I tried this multiple times and things aren't working for me. .
Any suggestions on how to fix this I really like the stock ticker option for the widget.
I am running Warm 2.2 rls5 on htc incredible with the stock ziggy kernal
Thank You:
Alexyaz
same here
I can start the installation and there is a processbar. But in the end it just says that the application has not been installed.
Is there a log file that could hint anything?
don't install it like a normal APK, copy it directly to /system/app with ADB or Root Explorer.

I accidentally deleted this from the stock rom through Titanium and now I'm trying to get it back. I moved the APK to the /system/app folder with Root Explorer and it's still not showing up. I will try the ADB route tonight.

What version do you currently have?
Did it come with your rom or did you download it?
You can backup your settings (export) to your sdcard and restore (import) with the new version if by chance your settings are not preserved.
Im using CM 5.0.8 ,and it came with 0.8.9.
And how do i go about doing that export/import?
Either download link from your phone and install or download on PC put on SD card open file manager and install are easiest. Put it on a friends phone. Looks good. Backup and restore are in settings adw.

Do a search for ADW.Launcher in the Market, it's there. Just make sure you have a period in between "ADW" and "Launcher."
Hey,
I'm interested in updating the ADW.Launcher version that came with my CM5.0.8 rom, but I don't know if it's OK to update through market or get the apk file and use "adb install" or find a zip file to flash...
Could anyone make some light in here pls?
Thanks!
I have tried downloading the apk file for my CM5x and MDPI device from Anderweb's page but when I tried to "adb install" I get...
INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS
Can someone shed some light? Is there a way to update the ADW.Launcher that comes with a specific ROM version?
Tried using android commander?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Since I'm new to this scene, what is the difference between the "adb install" method and using the Android Commander (which I need install)?
Would Astro help in this case, because I remember reading that has support for installing apk files?
I'd like to do this update as clean as possible.
Thank you for the reply!
PS: I have actually installed Android Commander and installed the ADW.Launcher apk for CM5x MDPI as an Update (wasn't sure what to chose between Private, Application or Update) and the installer said it was successful but after reboot I still have the old version 0.8.6
Any ideas?
U can download it put it on your sdcard and install with a file manager. Doesn't matter which way u go. Should work. Done it both ways
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
I did it somewhat the way you said and installed it with Android Explorer as an update because the regular installation would fail with the error that the application already exists.
The problem is that the new version gets copied into /data/apps/ and I can start using it but after the first reboot it's not there anymore and I get back to the one that came with my CM5.0.8 rom which is in /system/apps/
I would really like to get a solution that would update the one in /system/apps/ which might be harder because it's a memory mapped version of the ROM and changes get lost after reboot.
Please correct me where I am wrong...
Have u tried goin to the market and installing it from there? It's like version 1.4.1 or something now
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
place the file on your /sd.
adb push /sdcard/filename.apk /system/app
restart home or reboot phone.
I ended up installing the one from Market and making that the default launcher, but I would really like to just replace the one in the system folder - no need to keep 2 versions of the same app
I'll try the method NetrixTardis was suggesting.
U can do it through the terminal as well. Maybe removing the old one will solve it. Use the rm command in the terminal and see if u can do it that way. Ex.
$su (enter after each line)
#rm /system/app/(name of app.apk)
Then u can use cp command to copy the one from your sdcard.
Cp /sdcard/(app.apk) /system/app/
Someone correct me if I'm wrong in the lines

hey johnson8cyl
I'll try that and let you know if it worked, should I copy it to the same name?
like /system/app/adwlauncher.apk is the name for the system app, while the Market installed one is org.adwlauncher....apk
do you guys know a good keyboard replacement and a way to configure the vibration alarm on my CM5.0.8? these are mostly the things I miss from my stock ROM
oh...forgot to mention the CM5.0.8 default camera does not have all the setting (like I can't set the ISO), is there one that does that trick?
thanks!
I'll answer the keyboard part. I've got Smart Keyboard installed and its a lot better than the stock Android one.

U have to use the names exactly the one your removing and one your copying. Names have to be what u want to remove or copy. That make sense?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Makes total sense to keep the same names only that I have this problem...
any ideas? kinda makes sense because that comes from the ROM and is mounted as read-only
# su
su
# pwd
pwd
/system/app
# rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm -f ADWLauncher.apk
rm: can't remove 'ADWLauncher.apk': Read-only file system
ps: I actually managed to fix this what was missing is "adb remount" to mount system partition read-write
So you figured it out? Were you able to get it removed and replaced?

[Q] "Application Not Installed" when trying to get my Gallery3D.apk installed again
I feel like a dope, but I need some help here.
I was testing out some of the alternate Gallery3D builds, attempting to find something that zooms in with higher quality. Those apps have been able to install/uninstall fine using AndroidMate + a good reboot. Strangely, when I try to reinstall the original Gallery3D.apk from my SDcard (I backed it up before doing any of this), I get "Application Not Installed" -- using AndroidMate, Astro, or the built-in installer.
I've also tried "install gallery3d.apk /system/app/gallery3d.apk" from Terminal Emulator (I have BusyBox) installed, but no love. It seems to work ok, but the Gallery app doesn't show up.
Lastly, I don't have ADB going -- as I've never had good luck with that on my Win7 x64 install. Can't I do this without ADB?
Any other ideas??
Thanks,
Yip
I THINK you can just push the apk to /system/app dir and itll work fine. I've done this before with my G1 and had no issues.
Edit: read you didn't have adb, you can try to cp via terminal from the /sdcard/ or something, I have never tried that though.
Thanks. I tried some of that, but without any success. There was also a Gallery3D.odex file in the \system\app folder that I *had* copied prior to all of this, but couldn't ever find where I put it. That MAY have been part of the issue, but I'm not sure.
I ended up restoring an earlier backup (from 2 days ago) and all is well.
Thanks for trying.
I used this method to try and root the xformer......... all worked good until I tried to push the Superuser apk it did not push. Upon trying again, it said it was a read only file
Any suggestions?>
It is a 4/23/11 build I was using BLobV5
