Can anyone explain to me, the reason why an apk won't install in this example:
* I extract Facebookchat.apk from lets say coredroid rom. I try to install it on my phone which is running Black Ice rom. But it just keeps saying "application didn't install" I thought an apk would install universally as long as it's compatible, which it should be right? I just wanted the Facebook chat on this rom. It's happened with other apk files too, but then it will let others from the coredroid install on here?

Copy the apk to system
Set permissions to r/w, r, r
Then move it to app folder in system
Reboot
HTC apps won't install on phone that doesn't have HTC framework.
If you'll force them on it, they won't work anyway.
APKs aren't universal. There are framework-dependent APKs.
Yes, I just tried and it didn't work. I can live w/o fb chat, but I really like to have it. So there is no way Jack_R1?

They have fb chat in market i believe.
You can wait a bit and stay with Gingerbread Sense, and when Desire HD and Desire S get their ICS Sense - it'll shortly come here, and you'll be able to enjoy it together with FB chat. Currently all the ICS builds are crappy/buggy anyway.

2 of them, specifically, Facebook Messenger and Friendcaster has a "chat" option. plus there are things like IM+ that are a all in one service.

Actually I have used Friendcaster Pro for over a year, and just discovered the chat application, and it's basically just like FB chat..thanks.Also I have been thinking lately, Im not sure why I flash different Roms, as I am addicted to Go Launcher and the Go Keyboard. But the Black Ice with Go launcher combo is awesome together.
As for the ICS Roms, I too find them kinda too buggy for my liking at this point, and I truly am not complaining because I know devs work very hard on them. But I did try the creamed glacier and it looks cool as sh!t.

OK I have been using it for two weeks now and I like it better than ADW, Launcher Pro, etc. They are all Launcher2 variants. This is a great home launcher and combined with Nemo it does me well. It has not slowed down for me at all, I'm not sure why it did for you? Could you please post your themed version? I would love to have it on my phone. I wish someone could get the notification bar working! I use SMS and Email Notifications so the bar is not essential for me but would like to see it work because it has advanced features. Please post your themed version, thanks again!
I'd love to try this out. Please post it for the rest of us.

Here is the link to the original post. Give it a shot! I think you will like it. It is definitely not your Launcher2 clone! Remember to use Nemoplayer so that the launchers Music Section will allow you to select your music. It won't select the stock music player!

I don't have time to make a new thread with screenshots,could someone take screenshots of this themed LiquidLauncher and NemoPlayer and make a new thread?
Here is the link for themed Acer Launcher and themed Nemo Player.If ya like it i also have themed TwizLauncher,LauncherPro,SemiTransparent-Blue drawer android theme and many themed apps that i can post.
Link: http://www.4shared.com/file/0_GVgBgR/AcerLauncherNemoPlayer-Themed.html
NOTE:To make AcerLauncher's settings work download WallSwitch from the market and after opening "AcerLiquid's launcher settings" once(it will force close first time) use WallSwitch to change wallpaper,after you do this Acer settings will not fc anymore.I recommend installing both NemoPlayer and Launcher because they are made to work together.Launcher needs to be put in /SYSTEM/APP folder to work.

You can also just go to your gallery and pick an image and set it as your wallpaper then it won't fc from then on. Also if you put the entire Acer wallpapers folder in your \system\media folder then you can select the Acer preset wallpapers in the Acer settings!

Also if you drag your finger on the bottom of the app drawer you can change the work window. The Acer also has a wicked lockscreen that you peel back to unlock your phone but this has not been ported over

Acer and Sony X10 got the best ui's on android and everybody talks about sense and blur.I wish they would get off that htc and motorala sht and get these 2 ui's ported.

Forgot to say that launcher needs to go in /system/app folder and you should put NemoPlayer in there too for better performance.

If you use the launcher in the zip file you will have to push it like he said to \system\app. If you use the launcher from the link I provided then you can install it like a regular app.

You need to extract two apk files from a zip and put them in /system/app folder.The reason for that is:after theming alot of apps will only work in /system/app folder and will not install regularly anymore for some reason,if anyone knows why that is I would love to know (and no its not the signature).
Oh and for people that hate all this complicated ADB typing and pushing(i know I do) just download Estrongs File Manager(its free) from the market then go to options menu and turn on "root access" then just copy apk files to /system/app folder,it only takes a minute and you don't even need a pc!

Also HTC keeps them locked down a.k.a there there not open source thats why u cant use them with ADW or any other home replacement. I hope that helps you understand it a little more
I have a HTC Desire and I recently installed a Gingerbread ROM with Oxygen, and I really miss the HTC flavour. Is there any way I could have HTC Sense or at least the stock apps back on this rom?
P.S.: I hope that I didn't post in the wrong place...
The gingerbread Rom is an ASOP Rom, sense programs will not runn as they need the associated HTC files also, if you run a sense Rom with another launcher over it you will see the programs will run but the widgets won't load, again they will only work with the sense launcher. You can get apps that replicate the look. Get Beautiful/fancy widgets for the clock, but the best is to get launcher pro and pay for the extra, the widgets are very similar

I found those apps in a rom, and as you said, it ain't work... It doesn't even install, only the camera app which crashes.. I wanted HTC Music back, but, fortunately, I found the Honeycomb leaked Music app, so it's cool.
Does the contacts app work in Oxy Ginger. I like the facebook pictures sync. Now all of my contacts are without pics

The Sense contact app won't work. Try SyncMyPix from the Android Market insread. Perhaps it can help.

Hello.
I am rooted, using the stock rom.
Is there an app to invert colors on SMS, and say, Internet application?
Example: White letters, black background.
Don't know about stock but cyanogen roms has this feature built in.
Handcent SMS will let ya do that for your text
Thanks guys, I checked out both, tried CM7 a few weeks back, but was too glitchy on my phone, and things weren't working. I wil try it again in a few weeks after they have some more dev time.
Many messaging apps from the market let you customize the appearance or apply themes. I personally like GO SMS.
if you tried CM7 a few weeks ago and it was too glitchy for you, the latest CM7RC2 was dropped this week also TeamRoyal just dropped the latest version of RoyalGinger and they are both super stable and very quick TR:RG is definitely faster and so far more stable for me.
Wooooo! Thanks for the heads up on GO SMS, and also, thanks for the updates on the ROM's Raven, I am checking both out now!
Question... This is only a customization locally, right? I realize that fonts and other formatting would not appear in the recipient of sms, but with inverted text, I imagine there may be ways (and certainly using apps which are mutually installed) that the recip could get the sms inverted too....without the recipient needing to install anything.

There's Javascript for that
That problem appeared a long ago, and one guy made a javascript for doing this, inverting colors in a browser; no root needed, just add his page as a bookmark, and use it, whn you want
tonymuka.com/js (i am kinda new here; not allowed to post links, and stuff)
Also, I heard Boat browser have this function..

I just can't make it work on my hero. Facebook contacts wont show in phonebook, still get posts in friendstream and I get com.HTC.bgp force close ALL the time :'(
This is with stock, elelinux, and villan.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
[EDIT] sorted with a lot of googleing, if you remove your Facebook for sense account and clear app data. Then go to your account settings on the touch site and remove HTC sense from the list off allowed apps, next time you sign into sense on your device things should sync nicely. And I haven't seen the HTC.bgp close since
