So I just recently started creating skins for smart keyboard pro.
I wanted to know how to make an apk that I can upload to the market. That would take the skin and simply install it on the root of an as card in a /skins folder?
Thanks

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

Hello,
I have the new Honeycomb dialer apk and I was under the impression if you just placed the new dialer apk in the systems/app folder of the rooted android device it would change to the new apk on reboot.
Well, I have placed the apk in systems/app, deleted the old apk and rebooted and no change. What is interesting is I have opened the new Honeycomb dialer apk in Super Manager and tried to install and I keep getting the error "Application not installed".
What am I doing wrong?
Just as a note, I have installed the new Honeycomb music player with no problems. My phone is an EU HD2 and I am on a custom Gingerbread ROM.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Are you talking about a literal Honeycomb (Android 3.0) dialer application, or just a themed dialer from a different version? If you have an actual Honeycomb apk please post it or link to it; I was unaware one existed at this point, seeing as the OS is only for tablets so far.
In reference to your question, apps generally need to get installed as opposed to just copied/pasted into system folders. Either try installing it via something that calls the app installer process (browse to the apk in ASTRO File Manager for example) or try manually installing it via adb. If adb fails then it's probable that it simply can't be installed on your device or ROM.
Hope that helps.
Hi i have a question.
I tried different roms , and i noticed that the galaxy's one has a superb application for reading PDF (is the best i've ever tried...very fast). Now i'm on Virtuos Asus base rom and i would like to use Ebook readr form Galaxy one.
I have extracted ebook.apk from zip rom file and then installed on new rom.

Thanks for suggest.
Unfortuynately at now i haven't possibility to do that.Is there any other solution??
If not i will installa rom again and then back it up with Titanium.

Hey thats it. But you can also create an folder @ SD card with your preferred apps. Youse apk extractor or anything else which let's you extract an apk file... Fx can do it also. Nice tools get from fdroid repo..
You must extract apk from running system or unzipped....
Hello,
I'm looking to obtain a certain .apk from the marketplace, I understand that I need to have something like Astro or Titanium Backup installed to do this and to have those my phone needs to be rooted. I've looked into rooting my phone but it looks to be a bit beyond me.
I was wondering if someone with a rooted phone could use one of the backup apps and get the .apk file for me? The app I need the apk for is the Rift Mobile Authenticator.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Here you go.
If you're looking to get the apks of any apps that you've already downloaded from the Market, then you don't need a rooted phone. You can use MyBackup Pro to backup your apps. Root not required. If you just want to get the apks of certain apps, download the app in the link below. You can export the apks of your apps using that.

Right.
So, when I open up .ext3 files in 7zip I notice they have "users" and "modes".
Things I'm curious of:
1. How can I remove apps in my ROM via .ext3 editing?
2. How can I install apps in my ROM (via .ext3 editing)?
3. Just simply removing the .apk for, let's say, the Phone app (BlurPhone.apk) and putting a different apk named Phone.apk, but with the same function and simply being a port from a different phone, will it be a issue?
4. GO Launcher EX/Go Locker - can it be installed in a ROM?...
Also, I got some issues regarding the MD5 Sum ("mismatched " but it actually is a duplicate ). Was it because I had a vanilla copy of my backup in the backup folder?..
Bump?...
Firtst if all, learn to make an cwm zip , its much easier to make changes that way.
To remove an app, just remove the apk file. Do the opposite when adding apps.
Any launcher can be added to rom.

thanks, but sadly I'm not going to develop 4.0/4.1 stuff, only 2.3 skins for the moment. Thanks for the help tho
Another (kinda random, but hey): how's the lockscreen app named?...Or is it a sub-part of a motoblur app?
