wifes desire (telstra rom) came with jbed installed, so i copied the three files needed for it, jbed.apk, odex and libjbedvm.so and pushed them via adb to my nand stock desire rom on the hd2. I can't get it to work, I can't even find the icon in the apps list. any other version found on the net like esmertec_jbed.apk , installed via adb crashes. Any one else had any luck getting it to work?
before you ask, yes i did install them to the correct directories (/system/app and /system/lib )

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

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?
Hi
I had the Amon Ra 1.6 rom on my device.
I recently switched to an 2.1 rom. Unfortunately it did not have the Stk (Sim Toolkit) in it. So i tried copying it from the old rom to the new one.
I tried copying the apk and odex file to the SD card and install and also tried pushing the files directly to the /system/app dir.
Nothing works.
adb install gives me: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]
Is there any way of bringing in the Stk?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem, any solution yet ?
I have a Hero device, so this might not apply to you, but I have just tried Stk.apk from another 2.1. ROM and it worked. It was exactly this ROM: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1448
solution is: you need an stk.apk for every rom.
extract the files. put to SD card and open with app manager.
or use adb install

My preferred Android build choice is the desire_hd2 build. I have tried out various other builds and one recently, a MIUI build had the new Gingerbread keyboard running on it. After trying it out and liking it I have searched the net to try and find an apk or another way to port the Gingerbread keyboard onto a Desire HD handset, or more specific, onto my HD2. The only way which I have found to do this is through recovery mode on a Desire HD. As far as I know you cant run recovery mode on any Android build on a HD2.
I have downloaded a few zip files which had the system files. I copied them to the Android folder (In my case it was the desire_hd2 folder), created a root folder and moved the system files into the root folder and restarted. Once booted back up I tried to send a sms using the Gingerbread keyboard and a force close message comes up
This has led me to ask the XDA community for help on getting this new keyboard onto our Desire HD builds. I know it can be done for CM6 or MIUI builds but not for Desire HD builds. Any help would be appreciated.
+1 for this
+2 for this
using MCCM hd2 build and cant seem to get GGB keyboard working
+1 to this too, but the Gingerbread keyboard still doesn't work right for Froyo in general, let alone a specific build.
Don't need to put it in the root folder, use root explorer, extract apk from zip and push it into system/app
reboot and it should work! it is clearly mentioned in the thread with the apk of GBKeyboard

Keyboard itself works pretty well, though spell check is only in English...

I have already tried this method but it still comes up with the force close issue. I have tried moving the LatinIME.apk folder into system/app and libjni_latinime.so into system/lib and no joy, I even tried with and without the META-INF folder as well but alas, I still get the force close issue.
i was surfing the threads for an easy way to install this famous gingerbread keyboard and i found it and it installs like if it was an app and im using HD2 with Nexus One build http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875202

I have tried this link and installed the Gingerbread keyboard successfully. After going through settings to activate the keyboard and then selecting the Gingerbread keyboard from the input selection while in sms, the same force close issue is still present.
It seems the only Android build this force close is affecting is the Desire HD build, or more specifically, the new Sense interface.
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.
I cannot figure out how this works nor can i find anything online to help my situation... -___-
I have Cyanogen 7 on my Evo Shift. I pulled out the APKs from the stock ROM that i want to install on my current cyanogen setup for example the camera apk because the one on the new ROM sucks a lot.
I am able to successfully push the apks into the system/app folder.
I can see the apks in the system/app folder using astro
I cannot figure out how to get the apks to run or how to install them, the apps dont appear in the app drawer. what do i need to do to be able to run these Stock apks?
Instead of using ADB Push to place them on the phone, try using ADB Install. That way you won't have to copy the APK and try to run it from your phone. It's done in one step.
Oh yeah. When I tried doing that, I got an error. I can't remember what it was called at the moment. I'm not at my PC
I think the problem is with the apks that you want to install.
AFAIK htc apps like camera need the htc framework to run. So they cannot installed, so you cannot find them, or cannot run because need the htc framework
