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

click the "take quick tour button" and you will see exactly what i am talking about.
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?
Does anybody know where to get the default set of live wallpapers for CM5.0.7? I know you can get ripoffs in the market, but I really think the default ones are the cleanest.
Thanks for any help!
You can probably extract them from CM's Nexus One build over in the Nexus One developer forum.....
I extracted the apk from the N1 rom and it installed fine. FYI the water one doesn't work with our phones (G1), and the galaxy one doesn't seem to load. The polar clock and the grass work though.
Was really hoping to have the water one working, my mom showed it to me on her Droid last week, dope as hell.
Can you post the apk you got? Or at least point me in the direction so I can learn how to extract it myself? Thanks!
Basically all you need to extract something from a ROM is the ROM itself (as a zip file), and then a program that will let you "open" the zip without unzipping it. Personally, I use 7-zip and it has never failed me. All you need to do is right click on the ROM file and choose open under the 7zip menu.
This of course is assuming you have Windows as your OS on your PC. After you open the ROM you can browse to the /system/app folder and you have access to all the N1 apk files there. Presumably, all you need to do is copy the live wallpapers apk from that ROM to your G1 and install it. I haven't verified that this works, but it would be the way to do it.
Good luck

Excellent!
For all that are interested, I have attached the apk. Hope this is allowed.
Oh, and all the LWPs are REALLY slow....
I downloaded the simple Pong LWP from the market and it runs awesome. Its nothing spectacular but it gives me a running LWP that doesn't bog down the system.

I've tried this file on my i5800, but when I try to set one of them as live wallpaper, i've got message of crash, why?? have you another version??
I managed to fix mms sending on cricket. I edited default.xml in /system/customize/MNS and Mms.apk. Now my picture message works perfectly on my phone.
So in order to install files you need to download them and then unzip default.zip.
You need to place both filies inc c:\ drive.
Now
adb push c:\Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk
adb push default.xml /system/customize/MNS/default.xml
adb reboot
Once your phone reboots it should work fine with picture messages.
Did anyone try this let me know how this works for you. I would post my apn settings but I use full android plan. Let me know how this works for you guys.
Now this is something we need to get the mms receive working in miui but for sprint

This for cricket it allows to receive and send picture message. I tested with verizon and t mobile customers and works realy fast.
Could you fix the one for the miui rom it only sends mms but dont receive

hmm interesting lemme try summin
Did you modify MMS.apk and fix what was causing it not to send properly? Is this a modified MMS from a Sprint rom? Or one from a Verizon roms like the rest of us have been using?
Would you mind sharing?
Also, are you capable of MMS while wifi is on by any chance?
NICE!
Thanks for sharing....
I will try and repost my results I also am on the android plan this is my apn settings..
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<apns count="1">
<apn name="CDMA-MMS" numeric="46605" mcc="466" mnc="05" apn="mms" user="your10digit#here@mycricket.com" server="NA" password="cricket" proxy="wap.mycricket.com" port="8080" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/mycricket/mms.php" type="mms" />
</apns>
Thanks to deathsled... for the apn
WHOA, Im ecstatic!
You did it!
I confirm this solution to be working on my favorite ROM solution...
VirusROM BASE SENSE RC3 with Carbon Theme...
I could not use the adb push method as I am on the road and forgot to grab my micro usb cable...
1. I used Root Explorer to first delete mms.apk from /system/app
2. I copied mms.apk to /system/app
3. Using Root Explorer I over wrote default.xml/system/customize/MNS/default.xml
4. Reboot
5.
A. To my surprise I did not have a messaging app in the app drawer upon boot?
B. Using Root Explorer I navigated my SD card to folder I had placed mms.apk and launched mms.apk thus installing.
6. Downloaded and installed APN Backup, removed current apn.
7. I used the above posted APN.xml after modifying the "red" string with my info, thanks deathsled provided and apn.xml
8. Rebooted
9. SUCCESS!
I figure some of the steps may not be necessary how ever I documented the exact process and procedure in which I now have functioning MMS..
tritron777 Major props to you man!!! You just killed it man!!!!
This is from sprint rom mms.apk and default.xml. I did not try to send mms over wifi.
I believe that for someone using proxy they can use apn proxy by changing this mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" to mmsproxy="wap.mycricket.coml" mmsport="8080"
Well I found out that modification to default.xml also changed the market. It restored download section. The problem with sending mms over wifi is that we mms server is protected by cricket or any carrier so it limited by range of ip addresses so we can't connect because we are not on a network. So the only way to make this work is to have stop wireless connection and start data the moment we eant to send mms.
What was the issue with the market download section?
I did not have an issue with it that I noticed?

Proxy information is not needed on cricket regardless of the plan. (im on a proxy plan and don't have any in there and its fine)
Question for you, was all that you modified was the:
Mms.apk>smali>com>android>mms>transport>HttpUtils.smali
X-SPRINT-MDN to X-Cricket-MDN?
Or were there other internal changes to the Mms.apk file needed? reason im asking is i would like to do the same for hero users as well since this seems to plague all sprint roms and i have been digging to find the root cause for awhile
That the change I made to mms.apk wasto change X-MDN to X-Cricket-MDN I guess metropc would need X-metropc-MDN. Now default.xml I changed all sprint references to
the way ZIO shows it self. Now that gets market back to the way it was before sprint section was added

Awesome thanks for the info. Going to try to correct this for hero's now as well
and now we know!
Next up, fix MMS under AOSP/non sense roms for Cricket. Or does that work and I'm retarded? I couldn't find anywhere to set the MMS size and I think that might be the only problem.
Just in case I have a backup of the Mms.apk from a brand new Samsung epic. Just email or PM me. no I do not charge for this. And if anyone can host the file i will be more than glad to share.
the Mms.apk does remove the Mms from the phone. when i try to reinstall it from the phone using root explorer it says "Parse Error there is a problem parsing the package." does anyone know what i can do to fix this error?
Not related but... anyone get Metro MMS working yet? I have a working APN from my bros Eris and I cant get it working at all... How would one edit the Mms.apk?

There are a couple ways to do it. If you haven't flashed the new ROM yet, you can open up the Stock ROM with WinRar or 7zip and extract the apk files for the Sprint apps to your computer somewhere. Then open up the zip file of the ROM you wish to flash(with WinRar or 7-zip again), and insert them into the system/app folder. Then flash the ROM to your phone and your good to go. I do this every time I flash a new ROM because I play Asphalt 5 and it's not included in any of the ROMs.
If you're already running the ROM of your choice, then you will have to use adb to push the files to the system/app folder or use something like Root Explorer to copy and paste them there.
i am running a rom already... but i have no problem reverting back to stock... i cant find all the apks. so basically , unzip the rom ... put the apks in the system folder then creat another zip
Easiest way would be to find a ROM Dev who has removed Sprint apps and provides them in a folder.
EDIT: I removed the link i posted. In the Devs post he had a folder labled as "Sprint Apps", but it actually takes you to a donwload for his ROM. If you can find the apks in a folder, back up your current set up, flash Epic Experience or one of those ROMS that places the removed apps in a folder on your SD, then restore back to your previous rom and set up. The removed apps folder will still be on your SD Card. You can then follow the below:
Download an app like ES File Explorer or Astro File Manager, open app, find and open, find the folder where the apps are stored, and push the apps. Done.
Text Football to 7777 and sprint will send you a link to the newest football app. For the other apps just get them from the thread here with all the stock apps hosted.
If you have a custom rom the football app may not update automatically and thus not work so you need to get the newest one. Its easy and sprint wont spam you after you send that text.
Hi there, I'm planning on changing my icons here and there and since the apkreplacer in the zip crap doesn't seem to function for me I thought I'd just modify the apk files but I remember reading before that before sent again, they need to be signed.
What is everyone's best recommendation for doing this? What's the best and safest way to push them back to phone? I want to replace 1 icon each on those 3 files.
No one really knows whether these files should be signed or not?
Use apk manager .its useful for all your needs including signing.search for it in xda.

Thanks but what about sending the files back? Do I need to set any permissions for them or I just send them normally like I do with framework-res.apk and all those.
