Does anyone have the original (non-themed) version of the facebook.apk from at least Froyo for the Droid X they can pull off for me? I want to go back to my original state, and can't find the right nandroid backup.
I'm working on theming the phone and need the original app to start with.
Thanks in advance.
ok, can someone please just post an unthemed facebook.apk from the Droid X running froyo? I would like to work on the theme I am making, and need all the files for it to work, and I'm missing facebook.
Thanks

If I would want to port something from a Motorola Droid to a Droid Eris, how would I go about doing that? All I need is a brief run-down of how to do it and I'll hopefully get through it.
What I am trying to port is the Droid dialer to the Eris so it can be used on there. I have a Droid Eris and I have the Phone.apk from the Motorola Droid ROM.
Thanks for all your help.

If anyone is interested, I have uploaded the Phone.apk from the Droid.

I dont think that is what he was looking for, but what i think you really need is the contacts.apk from it to get the dialer, only problem is it will give you a parse error if you try to install, or wont show up if you push it. If you get info on how to get it to work let me know!
Phone.apk is not what you think it is. I don't know what the dialer is called on the Droid. On aosp it's Contacts.apk, and on Htc based roms it's HtcDialer.apk. Additionally there is DialerOne.
If you copy Phone.apk from a Droid to your Eris, your Eris will no longer connect to the network.
Hi, I've been using VillainROM 12 for a couple of weeks now, and recently flashed cronos froyo and saw that the lockscreen pattern had the background of my home screen.
Is there any way to port this feature to VillainROM 12 as I have reverted back to it now.
Thanks, Andy

just had a quick look at the htclockscreen.apk from Villain12 but coudn't find any images which think could be for the background of the lock pattern screen. I thought it would be as simple as swapping it out with a transparent image.
however there is an xml called htc_keyguard_screen_lock.xml .
compare the one from cronos to the villain one with notepad++ (my lappy is in for repair, no notepad++ on this one sorry),... or compare the whole apk even.
..... Or beg someone to have a go,.... It cant be that much of a big job.
.... EDIT.... Or nandroid backup, then try just using the htclockscreen.apk from cronos on the villain ROM.
Thanks for the reply. I've had a look for htclockscreen.apk but can't find it,which directory is it is and is it in the system or the flashed zip?
Sent from my HTC Hero using the XDA mobile app
Yeah, so take it from the zip file that you would flash through the recovery.
the apk will be in system/app.
Thanks. I started making some progress, swapping some .apk files between the two ROMs but the went to cronos and did not find 'htclockscreen.apk' it is a vanillaROM so there probably isn't an htc app in it. Do you know what the .apk would be on a vanillaROM?
Thanks, Andy
Oh sh#t,.... How did I miss you were talking about CronosFroyo?... I'm sorry.
Ok, so its not as easy as swapping out the apks. Hmmmm,.... I'll try to have a look when I get home for you.
It might be a no go though.
Get onto the Villain site and ask them in the chat thing.....
Mate, had a look at Cronos Froyo and yeah you're right, nothing in system/apps looks anything like a lockscreen. I think its time you asked the experts........ PULSER.... Help this guy out!!!!
....mods if this is in the wrong section I do apologize, it seems I can't figure out where to correctly post my questions as they seem to be moved every time I think I have it figured out lol...
anywho....
Does anyone know if the awesome themes created for Fission will work on my Squidly ROM? I currently have 2.3.2 Squidly running now and am very happy with it, just don't know if I can use the cool themes for Fission.
Thanks!
I just flashed the black theme that comes with fission to squidly 2.3.20 and it seems to work just fine. It replaces the blur lockscreen with vanilla as well.

You can always try it and see if it works .. just make sure you do a nandroid backup first so you can revert if something messes up.
if you are lucky then it won't cause any problems,
but since themes normally replace framework-res & apps, it can cause problems if the files don't match
but in worst case you simple re-flash the original rom or sbf
I need them for a theme I'm working on for another device. They aren't in the Droid system dump found online, can't find them anywhere online, and I don't feel like reverting my Droid to stock just to get the files.
If someone could drop 'em online for a download, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Gingerbread or Honeycomb?
Froyo, since that's the latest official Android version on the Moto Droid.
XOOM'd from the XDA app.

Is there a SystemUI.apk in froyo?
Hmm. Good question. I just checked my Droid and don't see one.
Perhaps it's all in framework-res.apk. In that case, this would be all I need. However, it's also absent from the system dump.
I found it in the 2.2 update.zip that was on my computer.
Systemui.apk is in GB not froyo. So you can pull it from CM, LGB etc.

Looks like the new ICE Gmail app will run on the A500.
Runs fine on mine with Lightspeed ROM .
To install you'll need to use a file manager such as Root Explorer.
Go to /system/app and rename gmail.apk to something else like gmail.apk1
Then copy the attached gmail.apk to that folder.

That's it ! Any gmail widgets will vanish so you'll need to add new ones.
For more info on the new gmail app see this article :

been using this for a while, but thanks for sharing.
Only bug I notice is the email address being cut off at the top, but not a big deal
Oh, and the widget works for me. Fully resizable too.
working!
big thanks here.

I followed the directions restarted and now all I get is a force close. It shows the new widget in screen editor but wont let me place on the homescreen or open the app itself, anyone have any advice?

Nevermind I had to actually install the APK working great now, liking the new look any news on the new calendar apk?

Does not work here on Thor's rom! I had to revert to the "old" Gmail and I lost my widget that shows the 4-5 last mails received.
Any1 can help?
it works on Thor's ROM, as that is what I'm using it with.When putting the apk in /system/app make sure to set the permissions rw-r--r-- (you can do this with ES File Explorer or Root Explorer) and also reboot afterwards or you may get FC's.
Thanks Bloodfame, it works now...any idea as how to to get a widget similar to the one we had before?

Glad it worked out for you. As far as the widget goes, honestly I have no idea what the old widget looked like (never use it) so I have nothing to go by. There is a nice widget included though. It's fully resizable and you can choose which label to display.
@NoUseToRush - I don't know if it will work but I attach the 3.1 gmail image which I extracted from the old APK.
@Bloodflame
thanks for the response. The only widget included, at least on my system, is the one that launches the email client included in Thors' rom...not the "modified" gmail we are now using.
Anyhow, I can live without it
@ metpolds
I have the icon. I was looking for the widget. Thanks
Nice! This app work only on a500? Or is compatible with many other device gingerbread?

Not sure why you don't have the widget, I received the new ICS widget along with the new Gmail app

did you restart your a500? that or do a force close on your launcher in the 'manage applications' under settings.
this happens a lot with some widgets. they wont show unless a reboot or launcher reboot

Are any of you guys/gals running this ICS Gmail on 3.1 or are you all on some variation of 3.2? I'm still running rooted vanilla 3.1 and when I try to install the APK it comes up with error "failed to parse application". (I did change the permissions!)
Sorry ppl further question - When you replaced Gmail.apk did you also replace the "odex" file or did you leave the original one there? Thks for your patience

1) I'm using 3.2 and it's working for me.
2) You don't install the APK - it's manually replaced in /system/app
3) My ROM (and most other custom ROM's) are deodexed, therefore there is no odex file. You may need a deodexed ROM for this to work, as I believe there might be an issue trying to use the old odex file. Unless you can track down the odex for this version.
@Bloodflame - Many thanks for your answers. Never having installed a custom rom I did not realise the point about "deodexed". However I've decided today to try my luck at installing "Kekinash's near stock" rom so when that's done I'll probably try the ICS Gmail again. Your comment about deodexed comes at an appropriate time because last night I opened up the rom and found for every apk there was an accompanying odex and now I understand the difference between an odexed and deodexed rom

You're welcome. Glad I could help
It might be worthwhile to educate yourself on the Android terminology if you intend to do a lot of modding, flashing custom ROM's, and the sorts. odex/deodex, zipalign, compcache, kernels, etc. Learning what each of these do and how they can affect the performance of your ROM's might help with a happier Android experience overall. Never be afraid to ask questions and don't attempt any kind of modding without a full undestanding of what you're doing. Just my food for thought

I did have it replaced in /system/app + permissions changed, but it doesn't work for me either.
