Replace Sys Apps - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I searched on google with no answers so I want to make sure I am right.
I have backed up several htc apps from sense 3.0 like camera, keyboard, etc. I want to replace the RoyalGinger keyboard, camera, etc.
I tried root explorer mount and permissions set right. But once I try instsll it says Application Not Installed
How do I do so, with Root Explorer? ADB?

by "backed up" do you mean you saved the .apk somewhere? if not, do that first.
Then, with root explorer, navigate to /system/app, mount as r/w and just place those
.apks that you backed up, into /system/app. then reboot

Ok so wifi hotspot showed upin the list but force closes. Inside wireless settings hotspot showsup and works though is that stock to royalginger?
How do I replace apps now? I can add but they wont work, incompatible?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

Is it just that app that force closes? have you tried any others?
I believe wifi hotspot is a feature included in royalginger, but i havent used that rom in a long time. You shouldnt need a separate app for it if its inside of Wireless Settings though.

I don't think you can use sense system apps with royal ginger. Specially sense 3.0 system apps

Yeah well I have all dependencies frm 3.0 backed up as apk. The entire sense ui. Id like to use sense lockscreen
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

lol i guarantee you do not know each and every dependency required by each Sense app. and they are not in the form of an apk. look through the hundreds of files in the /system/bin and /system/lib folders, then try to tell me you know which files are needed.

You can't just move a sense app onto a non-sensr app..
They're not compatible

[Q] ClockworkMod + Titanium Force Remove App doesn't work

I have my Desire Z with S-OFF using ClockworkMod and I tried to use the Titanium at to remove the Bell bloatware. Uninstalling doesn't work because it's part of the system image. So I tried the force remove app with removes it from the system and says will restart the phone twice.
It goes and restarts but it stops at the ClockworkMod bootloader screen. Is there a way around this or a different way to remove the apps? Anyone else run into this problem? I don't really want to go through the whole unbranding thing...
Click menu and go into batch mode and scroll to bottom where u fibd user and system apps...thats how i removed mine

I just retried doing the regular uninstall instead of the force remove again and it seems to have worked. I haven't restarted my phone yet (with fastboot off) but the apps are gone from the app drawer and they didn't do that last time I tried it.
I have the same issue, it appears that the ClockworkMod interferes with the rebooting of Titanium Backup to delete the items. I would bet that if you do a restart the apps will be back on the phone.

[Q] stock camera app

Ok so I accidentally deleted the stock camera and I was wondering if anyone had the apk. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Just take it out of the any of the roms that are floating out there (choose whatever you're using, sense or cm) and push it to /system/app.

You may be able to get away with Root explorer, not sure, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Otherwise, what is the problem with adb? Setting it up or actual commands?
This is flashable!!!!!

stock messaging in cm7

does anyone know how i can remove the stock messaging in cm7 and replace it with the one in wildpuzzle or can i remove it and replace with go sms
You can't install sense apps, and yeah you can install go SMS, I don't see the problem..., if you wanna completely remove the stock app, use adb to remove it or titanium backup.

[Q] News / Weather App for MIUI

I was using MIUI by TDJ and the Weather / News app was extremely useful. I have switched to InsomMIUI and was wondering if anybody has ported this app to other MIUI builds. Is there a way to get it on InsomMIUI? I am a noob so cannot post in the InsomMIUI development forum.
I've never used his build, what app is this? I'll look if you reply and see what it is.
this has been a message from the dead pool.
It may be a GAPP
My noobishness makes me think this may be a GAPP. Not sure what it is, here are some screenshots
That's the genie app/widget. Its an aosp app. You can search for it, or maybe someone can upload it. You should be able to just install it like any other app.
I haven't seen or heard anything from the miui weather app in a while.

Thank you for helping me find it! I download the app it is force closing. I tried fixing permissions and that didn't work. Any suggestions?

Try to put GenieWidget apk in system/app direction or put in same folder in .ziped rom and install him when you next time update you miui.
I tried both suggestions and unfortunately neither worked. It still keeps force closing
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Ok, loot this topic or this. If not help delete Genie and try to install this file from recovery.
Finally worked after trying several different versions. I did have to move to the system/app file then fixed permissions. Thanks for all the help folks and for the awesome continued support for MIUI on MT4g LL.

How do you change keyboards from rom

I currently have the android revolution Rom and want to get rid of the arrow keys on the bottom of the keyboard.
So I'm guessing I would have to replace the keyboard completly

As far as I know that is true unless the keyboard has configuration options, or plugins of some sort.
Nope there is no settings and yeah I don't use the arrows at all just takes up space for me

I understand that the easy way out but I like the stock keyboard was looking for someone to tell me how to swap out the keyboard or flash another or something

I thought RC tweaks had an option for turning the arrows off?
I looked all over rc Tweaks and didnt see anything about it

If u wanna swap out a keyboard from a different rom just take out the apk and replace it.

Ok thanks and its just a simple cut and paste? Do I have to reflash it with the Rom? Also where would that be located?

Do not proceed if you have no idea what you're doing! i'm not responsible for whatever happens to your device by following this guide.​
Method 1. use a file explorer that has access to the system like root explorer.
make sure you have rw access first
copy the file to /system/app
set permissions to rw r r
reboot
Method 2. use androidSDK/adb
move the file to location of adb i.e C:/androidsdk/platform-tools
connect phone to computer
open command window
type in the following:
Code:
adb devices
adb push location-of-your-file /system/app
adb reboot
you made need to set permissions for it to work
to do that:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /system/app/name-of-file
reboot
both these methods require su and root!
Can you also add a keyboard as a 2nd one..like instead of replacing one, just add an apk and have the option to choose between the 2?

Yeah. When you add a keyboard (like swift key keyboard) just go to settings, language & keyboard, then select your keyboard you just installed. Voila!
One more question.. I looked in system/app with root explorer, and I looked 2 and 3.times, and I see no keyboard apk? Where else could it be or what other name?

Ok, I took the HTC_IME.apk from the LeeDroid Rom which my wife uses, & I put it in the /system/app folder in the Endymion Rom which I am using and I fixed permissions, rebooted, & it works ok til I try to close it after I'm done typing, then it force closes. It just says HTC_ime has stopped suddenly and must close bla bla bla! My 1st thought was that I think LeeDroid is sense 3.0 & this Endymion is sense 3.5? Or is there another way to fix it? Only difference is the arrows across the bottom, which I like. Thanks..

That's what it sounds like. Try taking it from Virtuous Fusion or Unity, then it will probably work.
