I have tried for hours...
I have tried everything that I can find on the web.
I am 2.1 /system folder is rw and I still cant put this apk in the system/apps folder...or open it with a ton of different file programs
I continually get parse error and cant open the rockband unlocked.apk nor can I cut/paste or copy/paste or move into the system/apps folder
Also I cannot open the magic smoke.apk live wallpaper from the Thunderbolt dump.
Any tips would be appreciated or help or ideas if you got it to work.
Thank you in advance.

I was hoping someone could either upload Android Contacts apk, or point me in the direction of where i might find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
You can easily get one from Cyn's latest build, just extract the update.zip and look under app folder for contacts.apk.
I am not sure though if you need any additional files/apk.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have the Darkys version of contacts.apk but when I try to install it, it simply says says "Application not installed".
I have tried copying the file to /system/app but there is already a contacts.apk (0bytes large) and it still wont install. I have also tried delting the current contacts.apk in /system/app but when the folder is refreshed, it appears again as the same 0bytes file.
Any idea how to get contacts.apk installed?
If this is in the wrong spot please move it still new to the forum and i never know where to post. I need to know how to remove apk files from \system\app i want to remove flash from the froyo leak so i can install from the market to fix the lag. I tried using astro but it wont let me still trying to learn all this its so much different from my incredible that i was used to
Try Root explorer.
i just tried with root explorer says it cant the file is read only any other suggestions im lost here. If i can figure this out then i can fix my other problem changing my browser to the debinged one as well it wont let me rename it either saying i dont have the proper permissions to rename it to add the other browser.
Click the button in the top right of root explorer that says mount r/w
your a life saver man it worked i owe you
I have followed the instructions from pcworld.com(unable to post link due to noob status) which happen to appear on several other sites.
I'm having issues copying the vending.apk file to /system/app with File Expert. I think it's a write-permissions issue but I don't know enough to get around that. File Expert says that it's mounting this directory successfully but it's just acting like the file is being copied when it's actually not. Please help...
Use the method posted here then if you are still having problems come back and ask questions.

Thank you for your reply. The method I used is very similar to that one. I have been trying to paste the vending.apk into the /system/app folder as this tutorial instructed and it has also failed. I tried mounting with File Exper and with ES file explorer. Is there another app I should try to use to accomplish this? Doesn't seem like there's anything better in the amazon app store. Maybe I have to manually install an .apk of sorts?

Other users have reported lack of root privelages with file explorers from the Amazon App Store. At one point Root Explorer and File Explorer were removed, and File Explorer was the only one that's returned (now with limited funciontality). I'm guessing Root Explorer no longer shows up for this reason.
Either sideload the Android Market version of a file explorer from your phone, or download the .apk I posted here. I pulled it from my phone and it should have full root privelages. It worked when I was setting up my KF. This version was pulled prior to the most recent update, so it's a little outdated.
So basically what I've followed thus far was a combination of both instructions. I'm going to assume that since SuperOneClick said everything was rooted - that it is. So in terms of installing the android market, here's a tl;dr of what i've done and where i'm at:
- adb push googleframeworkservices.apk
- adb push vending.apk to the appropriate directory and assign its permissions.
- Used File Expert to install MarketOpener.apk(places an icon in carousel so you don't have to use alternate launchers)
- rebooted KF
The market opens up fine now but whenever I go to download something it either says "authorizing purchase" or "downloading" and never progresses beyond that. Please, PLEASE let me know if i'm omitting any piece of information that may help you guys assist me. Thanks for all your good work fellas, I appreciate it.
maybe you have a bad vending.apk - there are some bad versions around.
post you mine and try again with the adb method i suggested.
posted framework just to be shure.
did you install the vending.apk ? look at point 7 of the guide i linked in carefully !
good luck !

Hi guys so I installed CM 11 on G2 yesterday and since then have been unable to move files around. Meaning when I cut a certain file and try to move it to a different folder it does nothing and just remains there. I tried to update Superuser binary and got the error of r/w access being unavailable and I also can't seem to use titanium backup to uninstall apps located in /system/. If someone could please help me fix this it would be greatly appreciated as it is driving me crazy.
