Here is the HTC Stocks apk and the widget that came with it.
This came from an Evo rom so I hope it works for you.

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.

[Q] Need help reinstalling stock Twitter app

Okay, I rooted my N1 with Universal Androot and removed the stock Froyo Twitter app without backing it up. (Shame on me.) Now, I can't update to 2.2.1 because of it (a status 7 error complaining about not finding /system/app/Twitter.apk)
I have, at the advice of some other forum posts I've read, installed Twitter from Android Market and backed it up to the sd. Renamed it Twitter.apk and used the Terminal Emulator to copy it to /system/app. That worked and the file is there, but the update still will not apply. Do I also need a .odex file? Is there any way to update at this point?
Any help would be super appreciated. THANKS!

if this is the new twitter app would you be kindly enough to share it..lol

grab it from an older update like from frf91 update.. then do adb push /system/app
if you cant do that...
put the twitter app in sdcard then go to terminal and do
cp /sdcard/twitter /system/app
reboot then apply it.. i had trouble with amazon and i did it that way and it worked well

That's exactly what I did. It didn't work.
I'd love to pull the app from a FRF91 build but I have no idea how that's done.

It looks as though I can't flash the GAPPS without unlocking the bootloader and installing a new recovery, correct? I'm really not that motivated if that's the case. I appreciate the information.

OK, just download the GAPPS, then use something like estrongs file manager to unzip to a folder of choice (with estrongs, longpress and select extract).
The Twitter apk will be in the extract folder/system/app. Just click the apk to install...

BTW, if you have root, you may as well install a custom recovery (without touching the bootloader).
Easy way with ROM Manager (has Clockworkmod and Amon-Ra), or use adb if you wanna learn something...

Thanks for the tips. I'll check it out tomorrow when I can make a data transfer. I am doubtful that installing from the zip will solve much since I already loaded the app and its already in the system folder.
could someone verify whether or not the Twitter app has a corresponding odex file that I might need?

I ran into the same problem when I removed Amazon Mp3, but I was impatient so I ended up reflashing the stock rom and then updating.

There is a thread that has all n1 updates look for it and download froyo fr91 update then unzip it go to system app and look for twitter apk then put in sdcard and do commands again .. I tried to do with market twitter and it failed so I did it the way I'm explained andnworkd

You sir, have saved my life. I swear I used that same exact Twitter.apk but I must not have. I used 3 different apks all with the same result but the one in the zip I found somewhere in this forum worked perfectly. I appreciate all the help and feel like such a 'tard for not trying something so seemingly simple earlier.

Flashlight Preinstalled in Vodafone Froyo release

Hi,
Can anybody extract the APK for the LED Torch app preinstalled in Froyo?
I saw that the one include with Froyo on the Desire works with a Desire with Eclair. (But doesn't work with my Legend) So I would like to check if the one included in Froyo for the Legend will also work with the Legend on Eclair.
The package name is com.htc.flashlight
Thanks!

U don't have to wait....
Try this APP: Lamppu
But first u have to (Soft)root your Legend with (Universal Androot)
After that, install superuser APP. Now start Lamppu and allow superuser rights...
Now u can use your LED as torch.
Tried it self on my legend v.2.1

Sure about the name?
The only thing I found in the Modaco ROM was Flashlight.apk
Then again...I have no clue what I am doing

above file is not working

Yeah it doesn't install

Ok gentlemen, one more try.
Extracted, re-zipped and signed the apk using apk-manager.
Removed the system app from my phone using TitaniumBackup and installed the signed apk through Root Explorer.
Works for me. No guarantee that it does for any other ROM or Android version though.
Sorry for the video but I just found out how to do screencasts and love it
Its German but you should be able to understand it.
Notice that it is now uninstallable and listed as downloaded app.

Installed and ran for me in stock 2.1 but it didn't do anything with the flash when playing with it

Thanks for trying!
This one is installing correctly, and also loading correctly, but it doesn't light up the LED.
So it isn't working

Are you phones rooted?

First of all, you have to have deodexed apk and second, you need to set right permissions in sysfs.

The apk is deodexed. As for the permissions. No clue how to set them right
Had to read up an hour last night just to learn enough to extract it. Big newbie here hehe. Guess I'll check some threads about sysfs permissions and try it again later.

Sysfs is everything under /sys directory. File /sys/class/leds/flashlight/brightnes should have read-write permission set for everyone.

Ahhh thanks! I guess I understand now.
Ok I just flashed whitetigerdk's rev03 ROM which is a rooted 2.03 ROM.
Than I did the following in adb shell:
Code:
chmod 777 /sys/class/leds/flashlight/brightness
checked permissions with:
Code:
cd /sys/class/leds/flashlight
ls -l
and it has rw permission for everyone now.
Code:
-rwxrwxrwx root root 4096 2010-12-01 16:29 brightness
Problem is, that booting the phone resets the permissions.
EDIT:
I just repeated the procedure while the phone was booted in normal mode.
Permissions successfully changed AND flashlight is working correctly, including all three different light settings!
Still, a reboot resets the permissions.
Guess I have to find a way to make this change permanent now and all is done
Hah so cool. Never used chmod or any other linux command until today. Had to google everything while I was testing. Nice how much one can learn here.
Another EDIT:
Found something else that is interesting.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#FLASHLIGHT
Would adding this to the AndroidManifest.xml help aswell? I'd do it myself but I have to work soon. Just tried it decoding the xml with AXMLPrinter and adding it. Unfortunatly I don't know how to save the xml in the right format again and just saving it corrupts the apk. If noone else wants to give it a try I'll check back after work.

denisman said:

Yeah... this is done via init.rc which is inside initrd image. So you have two options... tweak init.rc (you would need to unpack boot.img image and extract initrd image, edit init.rc, make new initrd image and construct back boot.img... this can all be done in one swoop with dsixda's kitchen) or make a script that is run every boot (we are doing it via run-parts which also requires editing of init.rc... once again dsixda's kitchen can add this functionality in a single swoop)...
As for "android.permission.FLASHLIGHT" I'm not sure about it as I can see that HTC is doing it avoiding it (setting permissions to 666 by default in FroYo)...
If you want decoding/encoding xmls use ApkManager. It's a nice CLI tool that can decompile and compile apks back...
You are quite a fast learner, congrats.

Back home Got pretty late.
I don't actually need this since I am running a rooted Froyo ROM anyways but thought it would be an interesting task to get this working for others to easily use it and for me to learn more about Android. The first option sounds like it would require a bit too much end-user activity and would be limited to a certain set of ROMs if I understand it correctly.
Leaving the second and third option as the most user-friendly ones I guess.
I will read up more on init.rc and ways to script for it tomorrow. Sounds like a very powerful "tool" to know.
For now I will concentrate on the XML. Might be the most comfortable and ROM-independent way if I get it to work.

Used Apk Manager to extract, zip and sign the apk in the first place. Really nice tool. Just didn't find an option to convert the xml from binary to readable, that's why I used AXMLPrinter2.jar which can do the conversion one-way but not back to binary.
I'll find a way
Thanks again for the input! Helped me a lot!

Liberty rom not working with mp3 files

Not sure if this is a known issue but I can't play mp3 files with the liberty rom. I was using grummy before this one and had the same problem. It says file type not supported if I try to play it. This is probably related but I can't play any songs off of Pandora or grooveshark. Any tips as to what's happening. I tried unmounting my SD card aand mounting it and tried using winamp still no luck.

did you come from 2.3.15 or 2.3.32/34?
If you came from 2.3.15, I think that is the reason. You need to update your kernel.
If you came from 2.3.32 or higher, I don't know.

I'm currently using 2.6.32 not sure what I came from. Is there a way to check without restoring my backup?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

In "About Phone" what is your kernel version?

i had the same problem, u will have to flash back to stock, update your version then flash back over to liberty, thats what i had to do, and now it works fine

Ok I found a zip that says it will update my kernal can I just flash that instead of going back to stock?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I think you can just flash that, but I haven't tried it. You might want to ask @P3Droid on twitter if you are using his (TBH) .zip.

If audio isnt working, then i am 100% surr e you are/were still kn 2.3.15 update. I was in the same boat. If you really want to stay on your current version, let me know. I have the files that will fix your issue.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

NOTE: These files are only useful if you are on the 2.3.15 OTA from Verizon and are running Liberty or GummyJar 2.5
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR PHONE BEFORE DOING THIS! I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PHONE IF YOU MESS IT UP
Take this zip file that is attached, there should be two .so files under the /system/lib folder.
you will need root explorer to do this most easily. If you don't have root explorer, you can use adb to push the files to your phone.
Open a command prompt to the directory where you saved these files and enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
**KEEP THIS FIRST WINDOW OPEN
Open a second command prompt window and issue the following commands:
adb push libbridge.so /system/lib/libbridge.so
adb push libLCML.so /system/lib/libLCML.so
Go back to the first command prompt and issue the follow commands:
cd /system/lib
chmod 644 libbridge.so
chmod 644 libLCML.so
Go back to the 2nd command prompt and enter the following:
adb remount
adb reboot
Your phone will now reboot, and once it has booted back up, you should be good to go!
Good luck and enjoy!

I have this same issue but it doesnt appear to be related to firmware. My handset is on 340 and MP3's play when on the stock rom but fail to do so when on Liberty 1.5.

My guess would be just a bad install unfortunately. I would use the Liberty Toolbox to backup your apps/data and then backup any other info you made need (contacts if not synced to gmail, etc.) and then do a re-install of Liberty 1.5
See if this helps out the problem, as I have seen this work before. I have had a few issues when coming from different ROM's and then going to Liberty 1.5, a fresh install over the top helped me.

Does it play any sound at all or just mp3s? That seems like an odd bug. Did you try using winamp or doubleTwist to see if that fixes it? Maybe go liberty apps setting and install the music add on. Maybe that will help. Good luck.

[Q] Question

Hey guys, I'm new to the rooting and xda community. I just rooted my mt4g a few days ago and am trying to figure out how to remove the tmobile "my account" application. I have seen a thread on xda where someone claimed to have removed it. I'm currently on ice glacier (latest version) i have titanium and super manager and busy box and all that jazz but im still not able to get it removed. Even after trying to force remove with titanium. if anyone could point me to the proper thread that has detailed instructions on how to remove that dastardly app or a video walkthrough that would be great. thanks for your help guys.

easiest way in your case would be to open Super Manager > give it SU access via the settings menu > file explorer > then go do /system/app and look for it and delete it.

Go to Settings -> Apps -> Manage Apps, scroll to the app, select, and hit uninstall. If the uninstall button is greyed out, download a root file manager (such as Root Explorer, for example), and manually delete the APK from /data.

ive tried over and over through titanium and super manager, it just will not remove. i have also tried to find and remove the selfhelp.apk which seems to be what its listed under but all with no luck. still keeps popping up using my data and being annoying. thanks for your input guys.

The only other thing I can think of is file permissions. You need a file manager that allows you to change the permissions to the appropriate type to allow you to remove a file. You can do that in Root Manager (change it form R/O to R/W).

are you making sure to change the settings to SU access, and changing the ~/system folders to R/W.

to do this you want to go into the adb to terminal and type
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblk3/block /system
be care full this will make the entire phone r/w, deleting the wrong thing will FUBAR the phone.
then you'll want to type
Code:
ls /system/app
and see if it's in there, if not
Code:
ls /data/app
when you find it you'll want to type, depending on data or system you'll need to change it accordingly.
Code:
rm /______/app/<app name>
when you are done deleting what you want change everything back to -ro
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtdblock3 /system
More information can be found here.

Haha yes, you can easily FUBAR the phone. FYI, Root Explorer can change file permissions with the click of a button, without having to do it manually through terminal.
I feel like I'm promoting RE a little too much, but it's what I've used for a long time with great success, so naturally it's what I suggest. neidlinger's method will accomplish the same thing, with the advantage of learning what's going on "behind the scenes."
