you installed the HTC news widget right on the phone? the one i tried wouldn't install.

i got the NewsReader.apk installed and opened...now trying to figure out how to get the widget...

anywho, i successfully modified and then pushed the modified News and Weather (GenieWidget) onto the phone. i themed it to match my FeedR widget.
tried to post a screen cap but it's not letting me. something about being a new member.

i have the widget.apk, but not the NewsReader.apk. maybe that's why it's not working. we need to share files. lol

here is the link for the newsreader.apk
http://www.mediafire.com/?xuzn5r0yzze

the app itself does nothing but force close for me. are you getting the same result?
do we maybe also need the odex file?

i was just going to say that....i am going to check...but the rom that i have is deodexed...do you have odex files?

i do not have the odex files. i'm giving up for now. lol hopefully somebody can figure it out. i'm good with my skinned geniewidget for now.

You say your rom is deodexed... you're running a fully deodexed rom on DI? Did you build this yourself, or...?
I have some ideas for the news widget, but I'd like to see newsreader working first.
Thanks!

I posted progress..
I posted progress on the same thread in the apps section. I rooted and pulled de-odexed files from an evo build and pushed them to the system/app/ directory, i then cleared the data in HTC Sense app and the widget and icon showed up. The problem is that they force close. You need 3 files
RSS.apk
NewsReader.apk
com.htc.NewsReaderWidget.apk
I don't think it will make any difference to use odex'd files. Usually it is better to have de-odex'd files to install. The files must be on /system/app/ directory in order to even show up and launch. I hope that a dev is able to take a better look at the androidmanifest.xml in the app or use logcat to see what the hell is going on.
If you want to write to the /system/app/ directory,
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /sdcard/RSS.apk /system/app/RSS.apk
(etc...)
then applications-->manage-->HTC Sense -->clear data...
But again, FC's will occur until someone is able to look at the manifest and alter it. I looked at the MinSDK for this app and it is the same as the DInc, otherwise I would've changed that part with a Hex editor myself.
Hope someone is able to do this, we would all be one step closer to a smaller Evo, lol. (I really don't like holding a "kindle" to my ear anyways, lol!)
Red.

what errors do you get that cause the force closures? (logcat from adb)
Updating the manifest files isn't hard, but requires resigning... did you need to resign the evo files after deodexing?

I didn't need to resign because the .apk files I pulled were from a build that was de-odex'd in the "Evo Android Development" Section. Root Explorer recognizes the files right away, but because they need to be system files, they can't be installed like other apps. I don't have a logcat because I really don't dev too much, but would be thrilled if others tried this.

Help! Music.apk

Hi, i have deleted the music.apk from my newly rooted X10 while trying some things out.
Any chance some one could pull it from there handset and upload it for me?
I have tried the music.apk from a AOSP build but it says its in compatible.
Thanks in Advance

+1
I want it too and I have tried several APKs and didn't worked
EDIT 1: Nevermind, I tried to put the Music.apk file on the /system/app folder, restarted, and got on a loop =(
I'm restoring right now.

This is why you don't go trigger happy with the delete functions of root file managers. At least make a back-up of what you're going to delete. If what the 2nd poster said, another music.apk probably won't work on your phone.
Best bet is just do a factory reset or download SEUS and reinstall the firmware.
(please backup whatever you need.. sms, whatever. if you lose these, not even SEUS can save you; use the backup and restore app that SE gave you. provided you didn't delete that as well.... )

I did it hahaha.
I'll copy the Music.apk and the odex file if anyone needs it.

[Q] Swype for MyTouch 4G

I love the swype feature on the android phones so far. While I was trying to upgrade to a newer version, it says "Application cannot be installed". I even deleted the old version with Titanium Backup Pro and tried to install the new one and no go Is there a reason why I can't install it?

Try to reboot your phone after you uninstall it..

ive been having the same problem with trying to uninstall swype and install new version....sadly i cant...any tips....or work around

I was in a thread about this weeks ago and we hadn't figured it out... we wanted the mic button.. tried the G2 swype and it wouldn't work.. I gave up for now. thanks to nandroid when I lost my original! There is yet another thread around here somewhere with the original swype to go back to stock... or just flash iced glacier.. its dope fast and the genius button loads way faster

This can be done, you need a few things first,
need to be rooted
need root explorer
need a new copy of swype
You need to kill the existing swype process, go into Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All, find Swype, Force Stop, Clear Data.
Use 7zip to extract the new Swype(i found one via google that is red and black with the mic button) Once extracted you will need to find "libSwypeCore.so" its under \lib\armeabi
copy both Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so to your SD card, make sure the CASE matches the above.
Open Root Explorer Mounr R/W, and copy Swype.apk to \system\app overwrite the existing file
then copy libSwypeCore.so from your SD card and copy to \system\lib overwrite the existing file
if you dont get an overwrite mesage your file case is incorrect, doublecheck it.
reboot your phone and navigate back to system\app and install Swype.apk, you shouldnt have any trouble now.
goto settings\language & keyboard and open swype settings, then go back and check the swype check box.
your swype should be fully functional now.

does anybody know where i can find these files to add it to my phone?

These files can be found on in any rom that has Swype installed with the rom. What Rom are you trying to put it on?

Finally got Swype to work...
... after rooting, I wanted to install Swype. Downloaded via the Swype webpage, but kept getting "Trial Period Has Ended."
They suggested uninstalling the older version, and reinstalling via the Installer. Problem was, uninstalling was not an option. The work around is: Using a root file explorer (I used AntTek Explorer), you'll need to rename/delete the existing Swype files in order to reinstall the newer working version. To do this, start your root-explorer and navigate to /system/app/Swype.apk, and rename it (I added .bak to the file name). Then do the same for /system/lib/libSwypecore.so
Now reboot your phone, then rerun the Swype Installer! Wallla!

I ran swype for a few hours, and found I didn't like it.

Need help uninstalling swype

Recently flashed Malice v5. Now get message that I have to update swype which requires uninstalling except that under app management there is no option under swype to uninstall. I unistalled the installer and deleted the apk. What else can I do?

Got to system/lib/
Delete libSwypeCore.so
Rerun Swype installer.

you can use titanium backup to uninstall it.
then when you install it through the installer, it will show up in manage apps in settings.

Thanks jneal9 but I can not delete the file. I have Astro and File Expert. Neither worked.
Thanks funeralthirst. Was able to uninstall but I still need to delete the .so file
after much searching I found an alternative to root explorer- super manager. was able to delete the .so file
Thanks for the help. I learn something new everyday.

Try root explorer, astro can't access the file.

I was trying to install the lastest swype beta apk following almost all the steps above (I didn't erased the files, only renamed them) but wasn't successful, is there any other way? I'm using ES Explorer (with Root Explorer option checked)

The above mentioned steps worked for me:
-uninstall with Titanium
-delete the libswypecore.so file
I used Super Manager for the root explorer. Search marketplace for this. It's free and Root Explorer is not. In either of them you need to change the permissions of the file from r/o to r/w (read only to read write).

The thing with Titanium is that once before i've tried to install a new email app, so I used this Titanium to uninstall it first and when i've run the installer it showed "Application Not Installed" no matter how many times I excuted it, and this totally messed my phone up, I had to odin back to stock!
So, in this case is safe to unistall Swype and the installer apk won't give that error?

I make no guarantees but what is mentioned in this thread works. And, as I've learned the hard way, you should make a backup of your phone before flashing anything.
Follow the above steps. Not only remove the AOL but also the file"kinetoscope.so". Use root explorer or super manager to do this.
It seems like it's alot of work but once you have everything you need it goes fast. Searching for the answer is the hardest part.
Sent from my SGS-t959 using XDA App

ok 2 things
1. ES File Manager (Root explorer for free on market
2. when you uninstall Swype using Titanium Reboot phone before reinstalling Swype. Same with most applications. Rebooting clears out the temp files that can corrupt a reinstallation.

Hi,
I've only had an android phone for a month or two (Samsung Galaxy S2, 2.3.3 Gingerbread, not rooted)
I have the same problem removing swype with no 'uninstall' option (trying to update to new version). All of these solutions seem to require a rooted droid, is that the case or have I misunderstood?
Can anyone offer a solution that does not involve rooting?
Thanks!

If Swype came preinstalled you won't be able to remove it without root.

Thanks for your reply jneal9. Swype did not come pre-installed on my phone, I had to download the beta to be able to use it.
However, after I updated the Swype Installer (so that I could then update Swype itself) it gives the message "Sorry, the Swype Beta is currently unavailable for devices that have Swype preinstalled" (which it definitely did not).
Is this something that anyone has come across before? I'm a bit surprised that it seems like this application (although I do realize that it is a Beta) cannot be uninstalled without rooting the phone!
Thanks!

This also happened to me when i was on malice v5. i tried everything to get swype back but to no avail. i switched from that to miui because malice will soft boot while ur on the phone when u have 30% or less battery.

I had the same problems and hopefully this will help others: first I had tried to restore Swype from Titanium and got Force Closes. Then, I downloaded a new version of Swype and after deleting the old installed: "Application Did Not Install" then I went to /system/lib and saw that libswypecore.so was NOT there. So after many combinations of the above recommendations, I finally did this: deleted all traces of Swype, rebooted phone, used Root Explorer to change /system/apps to R/W, copied the latest Swype in, ran the install (success), then EXTRACTED the libswypecore.so from the Swype.apk and manually copied to /system/lib and changed the permissions to the recommended settings above. Worked! No Swype alerts me to a new version, I download within Swype, it asks to replace, I say yes, and the installation fails! At least the version I loaded still works.

[Q] Accidentally removed DownloadProvider.apk

Hi All,
I have a rooted european TPT and I did something really dumb today: I nuked DownloadProvider.apk, thus killing any download functionality.
I downloaded the OTA update roms and had a look in there but they only have patches for the APK and not the file itself. I have been unable to find a full ROM image to use either, one linked from here was on Megaupload so that's gone.
May I beg someone to send me this APK please or point me to where I can find an image of the original ROM? Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi
I have the same problem. Deleted the downloadprovider and I guess also the downloadprovider.UI.
I'm on 2.3.4 root. Build nr: 4.0.2.A.0.42.
What to do with the other file in the zip apart from the .apk and how to set the permissions when moving the .apk to the system/app folder?

The other file is the odex just copy it in /system/app like the apk. The files need the permission 644. You can set them i.e. with Terminal Emualtor or with adb:
Code:
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 644 /system/app/DownloadProvider.*

Unfortunately I did the same mistake like baz8080 .
Can you please help me with DownloadProvider for A310_02_0039_0089_WE?
I still have the apk and restored it to /system/app but the odex is missing and I'm still not able to download anything
Thanks in advance

Anybody?
I found DownloadProvider.apk + odex from 0076_WE
Is there any way to apply the patches from the update (0086_WE and 0089_WE) manually just on these two files?
Edit:
Solved it!

Hello all,

Things To Do
You must have root access to your phone
1. copy and paste "Download Provider ui" folder to /system/apps of your root folder.
2. copy and paste "Download Provider" folder to /system/priv-app of your root folder.
3. give permission like other apps in the folder and install both apk inside each folder with your root explorer with root installer package i used "fx file explorer pro".
4. Done restart your mobile.
5. you need to have google play store updated and google play services updated to latest version
