[Q] 3D Gallery

So, I'm doing some tweaks with the gallery apk but, after changing the package name and some pictures, when I try to install it, it says "application not installed"
I have no clue whats going on.
Two days ago i had the same problem with the camera apk. I achieved the files i deleted and restore them but it didnt work. The only solution left was, at least i thought that, to restore my last nandroid backup. Some apps were there but i easily restore them with Titanium and the best of all, camera apk problem was solve! xD
So if you cant find any other solution, try to do that.

How do you restore your Settings/Apps after flashing? [UPDATE]

So,
now that the first usable ROMs for X8 pop up i am wondering: what is the easiest way to import all your settings to a new ROM?
i am thinking of Apps, App-Settings, Sync-Settings (gmail, Roadsync..), SMS, Mails etc etc...
Restoring/Setting this up manually after every installation of a new ROM takes some time.
What is your trick for the lazy people?
How much can be backed up with Titanium Backup? I'm still not sure about this.
What other Apps can you recommend?
update: found a solution at lifehacker today.
Non of them will work when going from ROM to ROM. When you go to a new ROM, you should backup the previous one so you can go back to the default when there is a problems with the Custom ROM.
Basically, you can't transfer apps or anything from one ROM to another. You will have to manually install them yourself, take a list of them and download/install again. I wish it could work but it cant ):
Too bad.
Ok, I cant backup apps this way.
Is there a way or script to automatically install apps (apks) from a folder on sdcard?
Maybe I could use AppBrain to sync apps.
But how about System Settings, Accounts...
Hm, actually come to think of it .. If your phone is rooted (obviously is lol) you can go to Root Explorer or any root application manager, go to System>App and if you can transfer them to your SD card, I use Root Explorer, just select all and zip them, then transfer to SD card .. All the .apk's will be in the zip file. I suppose just install one by one
As for system settings, accounts etc. those can't be backed up .. You'll just have to be updated manually :L Don't be lazy haha

Use this, for me it's the best way.
Titanium backup can store all your current apps and data settings for theseapps, too.
After flashing your new ROM, install Titanium backup and restore your backuped apps. Works fine.

[Q] Uninstall managers?

Hi guys,
Just a quick question, is it worth using uninstall managers on an android 2.3 build or doe the function within the OS work well enough?
I have apps2sd+ on my phone too, does anyone know if uninstall managers work correctly with this?
Thanks for any help
only thing i ever use is Titanium backup.
If you not sure about a program, archive it, then remove it.
restart phone.
if it works fine, good.
if not, go back to titanium and restore the removed program,
restart. done.
Titanium is great for removing junkware (amazon, and other crap)
while being able to restore them if problems arise.
i also use titanium and root tool box to delete the stuff i do not want on my phone works ok

Boost HTC EVo Design 4g and handicapped apps

ok this might be a really stupid question/ theory but...
i just got this phone thanks to my lovely wife who gave it to me for Christmas i am noticing that the htc scene has seriously handicapped the ICS experience in comparison to any other ICS phone out there so the question is after i have rotted it can we just replace the default apps with the standard ICS apps ,dialer,Messages,people, and what ever other apps have been tweaked i would love to get the app drawer back
this phone has the kingdom recovery loaded and it has root access i guess the next logical course would be for me to find a decent rom for it
if anyone has any place for me to read point away or advice i would greatly appericate it
You could get a Cyanogenmod rom, make a back up of all the stock apps to your sdcard (apps like the dialer, contacts, etc.) and then find yourself a good ROM and reinstall those after deleting the ones built into the rom
You can also use Titanium Backup to integrate apps into the rom itself (and back up the apps in the part above) so that they are part of the system and not "user" apps
I think this is what you're trying to do

Get Ultimate Backup from the Play Store (the free version) and then open it and backup all the stock apps you want
Then restore your regular backup (or flash the ROM you want if you haven't yet) and get a file manager (like ASTRO)
In the file manager, go to your sdcard and look for a folder that says "App_Manager", thats where Ultimate Backup puts all the .apk's it makes
Then just go through and install all the stock apps (click on them and hit "install"), but before you do this make sure you UNINSTALL the equivalent apps in the ROM you're using (you can do this through Titanium Backup, just select each app you want to delete and hit the "batch uninstall" option)
apps
Okay just to make sure I have the straight

I uninstalled the Gallery app gallery 5.1.1-T331XXUIBOG4 via Titanium backups. Help!

I uninstalled the Gallery app gallery 5.1.1-T331XXUIBOG4 via Titanium backups only later knowing its links to setting and Touchwiz in general. I would like to put it back. I had the backup but titanium never finishes the restoration. Must have got to do with being system app?
I think the you can get the apk in system/priv apk/.... It would be a great help if someone would upload it and point me in the right direction as to how to can fully install it. Other versions simply don't install or crash after opened. U can email me at [email protected]
