Is there anyway I can update my X5 Settings app? I am using CM7 pre official Gingerbread, but I gave MIUI a try and X5 Settings had more options... Is there any way to update?
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
Open miui rom zip and go to system/app. Take the x5settings.apk from there and install it on device.
I did that, but it asks me if I want to replace a system file. I say yes but install fails anyway

Can anybody upload their MIUI x5settings.apk please?

This means that you have already x5settings.apk on your /system/app directory.
You must delete it first and then try to install. Or just replace it with this from miui.
Thanks, that did the trick. Only downside is I don't have a "Device Settings" menu on the Settings like I used to with the old app, no biggie, even though it would be nice to have again.

---- EDIT ----
The 20120107 CM7 doesn't include X5 Settings. If I place this apk in system/app folder, it works?
I just installed the apk and it worked fine. Some of the settings don't work 100% though.

Copied the apk to system/app, set all permissions on and rebooted the phone. And now X5Settings is in App Drawer. I enter the program and choose some options, press "ok" to save and exit the program. I enter again and those settings were not saved :|

I installed the Market apk with the fix last fall, but today I downloaded the new version of Market that brings movie and books to 2.2 or higher and the install failed. Is there a trick to getting this new market on the Archos.

Make sure Install from Unknown Sources is checked in the Applications menu, though I think the message would say this if that was the problem. Then try deleting the market apk from /data/test/froyo/system/app (I think that's the location, look around in there for it), then reinstalling with the downloaded apk. If it still won't install, try copying the downloaded apk to the location you deleted the original market apk from, and see if market shows up again.

I searched using Astro and the only file with market in the name is
/system/app/0MarketUpdater.apk I tried uninstall, no joy. I try long hold using astro to delete, no joy. I went to settings/applications uninstalled gAppinstaller rebooted tried to install the apk no joy. I have no option to uninstall market (system/applications say version 1.82 when I go to details)
so I am open to suggestions on how to update the market app.

You can't mess with anything on /system without root. That's just a shortcut anyways. The file has to be in /data/test somewhere. It could also be called vending.apk.
Can you post the file here please.
Thanks

Here:
http://www.multiupload.com/2TRUW4L630
1) Install zipsigner 2
2) Download New Market apk
3) Go to zipsigner 2 app and click Choose In/Out and look for com.android.vending1.apk, click it.
4) Select "Platform" under Key/mode
5) Sign the file
6) You will see the new name for this app appeared as "com.android.vending-1-signed.apk"
7) Through back button go to menu and open your es File Explorer or Astro and look for "com.android.vending-1-signed.apk" (make sure you are looking for the App which has word "signed" in it.)
8) Install the App and launch it
why so complicated?
In Orginal Archos Android:
1. Rename to Vending.apk.
2. use RootExplorer or Terminal to copy it to /data/test/froyo/system/app/Vending.apk
3. Reboot
In Uruk or CM7:
1. Rename to Vending.apk.
2. use RootExplorer or Terminal to copy it to /system/app/Vending.apk
3. Reboot
does anyone know how to get all the apps working in the market using cm7?
ive tried updating the fingerprint in build.prop and im still getting limited apps.
maybe im missing something??
let me know...
thanks

If you put .apk's in /system/app you need to change the permissions to rw-r--r-- then reboot

i already put them there by changing the r/o to r/w and rebooted afterwards
still no theme chooser app
and also realised that theme chooser was never installing instead it was giving an error ( actually not an error,just saying its not installed and aborting the process )
Yes but you still need to change the permissions for each file. After moving them, long click on the file and select permissions, change it to rw-r--r-- then reboot and it should work.

That's pretty much it, just remember to remove it from system/apps after that last install and reboot. It's not intuitive, and not in the first page of the guide on this forum, but if you don't, you'll have to reinstall with each reboot.
Download the 2.36 Apk and install, no copying of files needed to any directory, I'm using it now and its working perfect on Cm7

Here's what I did:
1) Download the installer from your beta email or transfer it from one of your other devices
2) Log in
3) Select your Beta version
4) Install the Swype keyboard
5) Use Root Explorer and navigated to /data/apps and find the Swype apk
6) Move the Swype apk (not the installer) to /system/apps
7) Make sure permissions are rw- r-- r--
8) Reboot your device
9) Long press on a text field, select input method, then Swype
10)When you use Swype it will constantly Force Close
11)Go back into system/app and press install on the swype apk file that you placed there
12)Then delete the same apk from system/app and reboot.

That is most likely because you are using ICS rom.
With the modaco custom ROM is very easy follow the instructions previously given and there will be no problem

there is apparently no app in the system/app folder for bluetooth, which i'm guessing is the problem

The system/app contains the bluetooth app, take a look
And if you are running 4.4.2 I can upload the apps for you

Download "ES File Explorer" then click on option button
Then scroll down and turn on Root Explorer
Then click on root explorer and choose Mount Option and change the /system to rw
Then download the apps & extract them
You can extract them on pc, then copy the apps to SD Card

really thankful for your help
i did get those exact files into my sys/app folder
restarted the device and bluetooth still wont work...really frustrating. hard to believe the only way to fix this might be to get a completely different custom ROM and resetup my entire device, which will take hours and i'm sure it's just a matter of time before I have some other problem.
Any suggestions welcome
Sorry I forgot the most important thing
Keep pressing on any app in the /System/app
And click properties
And look to the permission of the app
then keep pressing on the Bluetooth app and click properties and click change the permission of the bluetooth app to Permissions like the previous app
Reboot
