I have just flashed an andriod rom with htc sense(developed based on the stock rom of desire HD), the developer deleted Facebook for HTC sense, friend stream and some widgets...
Is there any way that i can restore these things with flashing a new rom?
Can i simply copy the *apk from the stock rom and put them into the system/app folder?
Thanks a lot.

yep, it should work.

I copy the apk from a Desire HD stock rom and put them into the system/app folder but nothing happened. I cant run the apk.
Did i miss any step?

when you put something in system/app you don`t "run" them.
just reboot the phone. the apk will be installed automatically.
cheers

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?
Does anyone know how to get the stock version of swype that came on the preinstalled 2.2.1 rom onto CM7? The only reason i dont use the beta is because the theme it has is so ugly.
If you want that one. Extract the swype apk and lib file from a rom with it in it

Sorry but how do you do that

U can download a rom like iced glacier, and you'll need root explorer. extract the the zip. The apk is in system system/ apps. The lib is in the lib folder, although i don't know the name of it. What i do is use search when in the system folder, search swype. The two will show. Then you'll have to put those on the same folders on your system
check filecrop you want wvga version

I was able to put everything in the right folders but when I tried to use swype it had the look of the old swype but no functionality. How so you flash it in recovery like the other guy did?

Check the post below. It's for the G2, but works for MT4G as well (just verified).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9503569&postcount=6
As the post suggests, put your Swype files in the same folder as ADB and you should be fine. Note that you will have to go to Settings > Language & keyboard, and manually enable Swype since it's disabled by default.
is there any free "root manager" app out there i can get for this?
Thanks in advance!

I do believe you can use AndroidMate from the market.
ok, so apparently I don't know what I'm doing lol.
Sorry if this appears totally n00bish but thats what I am.
If I extract the .apk and the libswypecore.so from another Rom and place them into their respective folders on the Rom I'd like to use, (ex. placing swype.apk into the "app" folder on cm7) and then flash the Rom and start from scratch, shouldn't that work?
I actually tried it and it didn't. Am i missing something? I was hoping the answer was that obvious but it failed. Swype shows up but i get "swype package you installed is configured for another device" message and it continues to only function as a regular keyboard.
I'd prefer to avoid going through the CMD prompt on my computer again because without super detailed instructions, I really don't know how to go about doing it. So if anyone, anywhere can help me out it would be super appreciated. I checked the forums and I keep getting lost in the words.
(perhaps shouldn't have rooted my phone if I can't make it that far huh? but we all have to start somewhere I suppose)
Forgive me for making this so long winded but the more details i give up front the less back and forth messages that wing clog up forums.

HEY GUYS
im using mdj's desire hd 4.6 rom and having issues view most online videos. I really wanna watch my futy on it but the sound works and screen stays blank. Help please

i have a similar problem
I can't view any online flash videos either. But when I try the browser just completely shuts down. No force close message just shutdown. Core cell Rom
@ kev
You need to download an older version of flash and install it or download the newest version off the marketplace and install it, search and you'll find em.
@n33dy
Never encountered your problem before. As in the screen is blank as if it was in standby? Or does it keep on one particular frame of the video and not move, but sound keeps playing, and the device doesn't respond?
If it's the latter, it is that you've run out of RAM and need to free it up by either closing some apps, or you can soft reset your device.
Or you could just try a different rom and maybe you won't have the problem anymore.
yes make sure you have adobe flash player installed from the android market!
Iv got the latest version of flash on already...

how did you get it working
I copied the system files into my root system folder... makesure superuser is granted to root explorer.
Step by step,
Open root explorer
Find your downloaded files and copy the files from the 'lib' folder.
goto your root folders and open the lib folder which is inside the system folder.
Paste the files there, this will replace the existing files.
Now go back to your downloaded files and copy the one form the etc folder.
Go back to root, system open etc and then paste that 1 file.
Reboot and it should be running now.

Hey,
I'm using various NAND Roms with sense. In some of them i.e. the Location App, The News App (HTC Greader) or the Internet-fav-widget are missing.
My question is, whether it's possible to get these missing apks (I already extracted them from antother sense build) back in this build?
Can I create my own update.zip? Or any other ideas?
greetz
tom
Just do an nandroid backuo via CWM and try out
when you already extracted the apk files you can just put them in the .zip file of the rom you want to flahs before flashing...
for example I replaced the launcherpro.apk in some (non sense) bulids with the adwlauncher.apk before flashing and then adw was automatically used as default launcher...
Thanks... do i have um flash another recovery layout? Cause of the bigger size of the mod ROM?

So I am running synergy godmode on my EVO 4g. I flashed One of the sense 3.5 ROMs to try it out though. I like several aspects of the sense 3.5, but I also really like the speed that the synergy gives me.
So how would I go about porting some stuff from sense 3.5 to synergy? Specificly I would like to take the music app and move it to synergy. How do I do this?
Thanks for any help!!
Sam
I know how to replace a system app, it is just a matter of figuring out how to get the APk for the music player from the 3.5 ROM. Is it possible to go to root exporer and system/app them copy the music player and paste it into the sd card, flash back to my other rom, then put that APk into the system apps, change the permissions, and then reboot? Would that do it?

download Titanium backup and backup all your apps and then load up whichever new rom you want and go back into Titanium backup and restore that app and see if it works...
I tried that. For some reason the apps just don't want to install. Odd. I guess I'll just wait until a more stable rom with sense 3.5 to come out and I'll just use that
