Hi. Been searching everywhere and cant find a way to reinstall timescape.
I have tried system/apps but the apk is not there anymore or anything that is connected to Timescape.
The reason I deleted timescape is because it is one of the reasons that the battery life is so bad on the X10.
Now I cant get to my contacts. I am using acontacts.apk but for some reason the resolution is very bag on my contacts pics.
I have found a timescape.apk but it says it cannot install on my device. Maybe the apk is compatible for certain builds?
Maybe someone can suggest another app for contacts with a better pic resolution.
Thanks in advance
Oh yes : using rooted 026
Here a the Timescape.apk file
Thanks man.
DL now will let you if everything is cool.

You need to correct the permissions of the apk file once you have copied it over to system\app otherwise it will give you the error you stated in your earlier post.

hey,
I wanted to extract "Torch" application from "Azure" Rom and few other applications. as Torch is the only working app which did really enable the LED for HTC Legend.
I actually opened the ZIP package to path \azure-1.0.1.zip\system\app where the applications are stored, every app comes in APK and OBEX files. I extracted few APKS, non of them worked.
I am seeking some help for extracting the application from the ROM.
Thanks in advance!
lamppu is a good LED torch. You need root to use it, look in market

I have looked in market, but it doesnt seem to exist there. However, do you know anyway to extract the application as working APK file?
Any other LED torches that works with LEGEND?
*EDIT: well, I found it, its named Lamppu. but anyway it didnt work, although my phone is rooted! why is that?
Try Extended Controls, there is a Torch Widget which worked on my HTC Legend. (NOTE:Root access Required For this very Widget)

If you find a ROM that has both .apx and .odex in the app-folder you will not get it to work by only extracting the .apk file.. You need both of the files in order to include them in another ROM..
Use a backup program like Titanium backup or MyBackup pro: they will extract for you.

I already tried using Lamppu, but it didnt work on my rooted phone!
Have any idea what might be the reason?

That makes sense...but who would I merge the .apk and .obex together to be in one .apk file so I can install it?
Or maybe you know some way I can install these files?
Help would be really appreciated.

You mean like after loading the custom ROM, I backup the application I want then restore them after I load the custom I want?!
This is just long process of backing up your data then load custom rom, then back to the old rom, then root then restore...
I thought there might be easier and shorter ways?!
Any help would be appreciated. Gracias!
Anyone to help?????
try the kitchen method.
Scout around in the .zip to find the package you want, copy the .apk to your ADB directory and then, with the phone plugged in:
Code:
adb install [I]path-to-package[/I].apk

To be honest you've answered your own question. What you've done is the easiest way to pull an app from a ROM. So if your issue is something else it may be an idea to re-write your question (again, I know. Sorry).
I also apologise for mis-interpreting your question the first time 'round. I hope my help in this post is better.

Your help so much appreciated mate!
Well, the last conclusion I got to is, the .apk and .obex files are actually one file but they were divided to 2 files just to make them work better, so if you take the .apk file only it wont work as it will be missing the other .obex file.
Anyway, I am also guessing there is a way to merge the 2 files back, I read a little about "de-odex" but I couldnt really get the best help I could get. I will post the solution once I get to it.
Thanks again for your help mate!

I know it's a pain, but de-odexing the whole rom might help. Unless you already did this, in which case something is wrong with your download I imagine.

I was in another thread trying to figure out how to install xRecovery and I'm starting to think that the problem is that my phone isn't recognizing the apks as apks. Has anyone else had this problem? It only recognizes the xRecovery file as a .zip and so I can't use the installer to install it.
Why you don't just use flashtool to root and install xRecovery? That's much easier.
bro why dont you try renaming the .zip to .apk it works!try it!

I was hoping to not have to mess around with something else but I guess I will give flashtool a shot
you can always use Manual method,
just extract and copy these three files (busybox, chargemon, xrecovery.tar) from xrecovery.zip or xrecovery.apk to your Phone/system/bin directory, using root explorer (with r,w, rights)

You had to change to name of the .zip to .apk with a file manager on your phone. Maybe you had a setting turned on on your pc that prevents from displaying file extension.

i tried that and that didn't work. now i'm starting to think something is up with how my computer handles these .zip files though...now i'm trying to download install the .ftf file from this thread and when i put that file directly into the firmware folder in flashtool it doesn't recognize it as a .ftf file (and its listed as a .zip file when i download it)...this is frustrating the bajeezus out of me

what firmware r u
Sent from my SEX10 using XDA App
ya know what, i'm not even sure right now since i've done so much ish to this dang phone in the past day lol i did figure out that i had to change the settings in windows to not hide the extensions of known file types so that i could change the .zip to .apk. Since I had already installed xRecovery I don't know if that would have solved the problem but I'm assuming it would have. Thanks for your help everyone!
I deleted the browser and need to get the apk so I can reload it. Can someone please post it for me?
Thanks.
Can anyone please help?

Thanks. I'm running 2.2.2. Where can I find the stock ROM so I can pull it from? I tried from a customer ROM but it wouldn't install. I'm assuming it is because it has been deodexed/zipaligned.
Thanks again.
I tried but no luck, any clue how and I can try again.

So I downloaded the Blur_Version 4.1.83 from Motorola's website and noticed there are two Browser files:
Browser.apk.p
Browser.odex.p
I renamed them (removing the p) and pushed them to systems/app. When I tried to install the apk is said it is a system app and do I want to overwrite it (something like that). I clicked yes but the install failed. Now when I try to install I get the following Parse error: There is a problem parsing the package. I've tried a factory reset (both ways) and still can't get it to load.
Help!!
can you specify files and locations?
note that my atrix is 2.2.2.
you can also use different browser such as firefox or dolphine hd.
I installed the Market apk with the fix last fall, but today I downloaded the new version of Market that brings movie and books to 2.2 or higher and the install failed. Is there a trick to getting this new market on the Archos.

Make sure Install from Unknown Sources is checked in the Applications menu, though I think the message would say this if that was the problem. Then try deleting the market apk from /data/test/froyo/system/app (I think that's the location, look around in there for it), then reinstalling with the downloaded apk. If it still won't install, try copying the downloaded apk to the location you deleted the original market apk from, and see if market shows up again.

I searched using Astro and the only file with market in the name is
/system/app/0MarketUpdater.apk I tried uninstall, no joy. I try long hold using astro to delete, no joy. I went to settings/applications uninstalled gAppinstaller rebooted tried to install the apk no joy. I have no option to uninstall market (system/applications say version 1.82 when I go to details)
so I am open to suggestions on how to update the market app.

You can't mess with anything on /system without root. That's just a shortcut anyways. The file has to be in /data/test somewhere. It could also be called vending.apk.
Can you post the file here please.
Thanks

Here:
http://www.multiupload.com/2TRUW4L630
1) Install zipsigner 2
2) Download New Market apk
3) Go to zipsigner 2 app and click Choose In/Out and look for com.android.vending1.apk, click it.
4) Select "Platform" under Key/mode
5) Sign the file
6) You will see the new name for this app appeared as "com.android.vending-1-signed.apk"
7) Through back button go to menu and open your es File Explorer or Astro and look for "com.android.vending-1-signed.apk" (make sure you are looking for the App which has word "signed" in it.)
8) Install the App and launch it
why so complicated?
In Orginal Archos Android:
1. Rename to Vending.apk.
2. use RootExplorer or Terminal to copy it to /data/test/froyo/system/app/Vending.apk
3. Reboot
In Uruk or CM7:
1. Rename to Vending.apk.
2. use RootExplorer or Terminal to copy it to /system/app/Vending.apk
3. Reboot
does anyone know how to get all the apps working in the market using cm7?
ive tried updating the fingerprint in build.prop and im still getting limited apps.
maybe im missing something??
let me know...
thanks
