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

sorry, couldn'd find a big enough screen shot, but click this link:

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?

adb install <filename and path>
2) Copy to SD Card, open in a file manager (make sure "install from unknown sources" is checked in menu) (untested)
New version:

No it includes Sense's gallery "Photos".

It just gives you 2.1 style gallery that's on the nexus one which looks better than the default for HTC, just install using astro file manager and off you go just place a short cut on one of the screens.
If anyone can figure out how to get launcher 2 style all programs and keep sense ui that be top

Thanks, brummiesteven
Sorry, what is Gallery3D and why do I want it?

It works but not well, for example pressing the camera icon, will crash the application and prompt a force close, there also seems to be some issue with the screen going black for a few seconds.

Eclipse is an IDE, you can develop/run/deploy jar files from it to the phone (also apk I assume). NetBeans works too with JAR files, not sure with APK though.
BTW, you cannot transfer the APK file directly to your phone and install it from there?

Does the 3D gallery replace the Sense one? Or is it just an alternate app?

I *think* he's trying to test his own code via the phone which I'm not sure is possible or not, pretty sure you have to use the emulator.

You'd get 2 apps, "photos" which is the sense UI version and "Gallery" which is Gallery3D

Your spot on. i want to test apps on my phone and yes you can do it on a nexus one, G1 and the hero.

Are you saying that you can't test your own apps on the Desire through the standard developer tools? That's more than strange. brummiestevens said he could install apps via adb, so testing your own apps should work.

Vanilla lockscreen?

I'm hoping someone can help. I would love a flashable zip of the vanilla lockscreen that works with the supervillain Rom, as its a quality Rom but I just really like the lockscreen. Anyone iniquities of one?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

You could use Widget Locker. It can look like the vanilla lock screen and much more.

DesirableHTC over on the supervillain rom thread pointed me to the program root manager. With that you can just delete the htclockscreen.apk and reboot. And there you have the lovely vanilla lockscreen. Thanks for your advice too, widgetlocker is a great app.

System App Remover

Actually, there's a solution for that.
Simply push the attached DeskClock.apk via adb to /system/app/ . With this you can set the alarms and switch them off. Don't forget to disable the alarms in the Clock App of Sense.

thank you for this. widget locker rules!!!

[Q] Swype on CM7

Does anyone know how to get the stock version of swype that came on the preinstalled 2.2.1 rom onto CM7? The only reason i dont use the beta is because the theme it has is so ugly.

If you want that one. Extract the swype apk and lib file from a rom with it in it

Sorry but how do you do that
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

U can download a rom like iced glacier, and you'll need root explorer. extract the the zip. The apk is in system system/ apps. The lib is in the lib folder, although i don't know the name of it. What i do is use search when in the system folder, search swype. The two will show. Then you'll have to put those on the same folders on your system

check filecrop you want wvga version

I was able to put everything in the right folders but when I tried to use swype it had the look of the old swype but no functionality. How so you flash it in recovery like the other guy did?

Check the post below. It's for the G2, but works for MT4G as well (just verified).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9503569&postcount=6
As the post suggests, put your Swype files in the same folder as ADB and you should be fine. Note that you will have to go to Settings > Language & keyboard, and manually enable Swype since it's disabled by default.

is there any free "root manager" app out there i can get for this?
Thanks in advance!

I do believe you can use AndroidMate from the market.

ok, so apparently I don't know what I'm doing lol.
Sorry if this appears totally n00bish but thats what I am.
If I extract the .apk and the libswypecore.so from another Rom and place them into their respective folders on the Rom I'd like to use, (ex. placing swype.apk into the "app" folder on cm7) and then flash the Rom and start from scratch, shouldn't that work?
I actually tried it and it didn't. Am i missing something? I was hoping the answer was that obvious but it failed. Swype shows up but i get "swype package you installed is configured for another device" message and it continues to only function as a regular keyboard.
I'd prefer to avoid going through the CMD prompt on my computer again because without super detailed instructions, I really don't know how to go about doing it. So if anyone, anywhere can help me out it would be super appreciated. I checked the forums and I keep getting lost in the words.
(perhaps shouldn't have rooted my phone if I can't make it that far huh? but we all have to start somewhere I suppose)
Forgive me for making this so long winded but the more details i give up front the less back and forth messages that wing clog up forums.

[Q] HTC Thunderbolt stock mail app on KF?

I'd like to check out the stock email app from my HTC Thunderbolt on my KF. I tried installing the mail.apk from /system/apps on the HTC on the KF but I get Application Not Installed.
I tried to copy the .apk to /system/apps on my KF but it doesn't show up in app tray after a reboot. If I run the .apk from that folder, I get the same Application Not Installed message.
Has anyone done this or have any suggestions?
Thanks!
EDIT: It looks like it's looking for some HTC specific libraries based on a quick search through the manifest.xml.

Sense would need to be ported in order to use the stock email app from the thunderbolt, can't use any of htc's apps without sense.
