[Q] NEED HELP installing apks onto rooted slide???

Hey I'm currently running the CyanogenMod-6.0.0-Slide-RC1 on my mytouch slide and was making attempts trying to install some stock apk files. From another thread (which I shall not mention just so the thread stays open) I was able to download the stock apk/odex files for the faves and friends widgets and the mt3gs swype (in my opinion the best working/looking version of swype out there that I've tried at least...).
The apk/odex files are saved onto my sdcard, in my downloads folder. I'm not sure if I'd actually need to rewrite some code or something to get the stock stuff to run on CM6. Any light anyone could shed on the subject for me would be GREATLY appreciated!

First, most of the HTC widgets will only run on a rom with sense, which CM6 is not. Second, I don't believe CM6 is an odexed rom (I haven't used it, so someone correct me if i'm wrong), so you can not use the apk/odex files from the stock build. Third, this post would be for Q&A not development.

Okay, well as you can tell, I'm obviously a noob when it comes to programming as well as this forum..so thanks for the heads up.
And thanks for the info about HTC widgets only running on sense, that really helped out a bunch.

If you want to add or remove system apps try this:
1 Get 7zip
2 open CM6 with 7zip
3 Navigate to /system/app folder with 7zip
4 Add or remove apk's you want,thats it you are done
Odex files are not required for 90% of apps in CM6
Hope this helps,i have made a barebones(minimal) rom-its posted on here,all you need to do is add your own apk's to it.Or just make your own rom,but adding google apps to a rom requires adding few more files to /lib and /xlib folders,if you new to android try my barebones rom it will save you few headaches adding google apps.

Hey

BLEH.
I had trouble running the command line .zip version of 7-zip. I've extracted the files from the zip and try to run the program but it open and closes right back up. I've tried reinstalling and what not but it still doesn't work...I'm running Vista 32 bit if that helps at all.
Thanks again!
Oh, and here's the link to the stock stuff for the MT3GS, enjoy! (I do not take credit for any of the work put into the linked thread, I'm just passing along some great stuff!!!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729529&highlight=stock+apk
EDIT: I'm dumb and figured out how to use the 7-zip program. Super stoked...I hope my mods work.
Bleh, I tried putting the stock myfaves, friends, and skype .apk and .odex files into the apps folder and made my own custom rom...installed everything fine and then I looked through my apps and widgets to see if I could use it aaaaaand. They're nowhere to be found. Great. =/
So again i'm stuck without the slightest idea what to do next. Thanks in advance for the help!

CM6 ADW launcher, can someone post a flash?

Can someone post a flashable file for the new CM6 ADW launcher? I am currently running RC2 and dont have the new ADW launcher that just got released. I dont want to update to a nightly so Id love to find a download so I can flash it or install it whatever way possible.
Thanks

Can't you just download it from the market? Wrong forum also...

Chances are that cyan would put it in his RC3 release.. but i guess you would have to find someone who ripped the update from they phone and post it here..

Couldn't you just take the .apk out of the nightly .zip and replace your /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk with it?
I mean, I guess everything might not work, since he does put additional stuff in the Cyan Tweaks area, but in general I would think it should be fine.

You can download the apk that works with CM6 from here:

I have been to that site but I wasnt aware one of those links where the correct download. Which is the correct download for CM6.
Also sorry if this was the wrong forum and Ill download a nightly and see if I can rip it.
Thanks, for the help everyone.

I unziped a nightly and tried that.. lol WOW! I almost really screwed things up. So I tried installing it overtop its current and that wouldnt work. So I uninstalled ADW using titanium and bamn nothing was working.. kinda. Menue stoped working back kept taking me to odd things like the phone home didnt work search worked but i couldnt get to settings to search for an app to get back to titanium to work. Holding down home worked to get recent places and it just so happened all my recent places where the toolz I needed to get back to where i needed to be. Lol that was a close one.
Currently 1.1.2 is installed now and the only issue is that its not integrated into CM6 RC2. I mean instead of hitting one settings tab and then clicking ADW settings its now hitting menu and you got your settings or your ADW settings. No biggy. The wallpaper force closes sometimes when I tried to change it but its not persistant and can be worked around.

[PORT]Desire HD Stock Keyboard?

Does anyone know what would need to be done to port this keyboard or make a flashable zip?
I pulled the HTC_IME.apk and Clicker.apk from the Desire HD port that is being worked on right now for the EVO. However, it wont simply install on my phone. I tried removing the Stock HTC_IME and Clicker via Root Explorer. Did a reboot and tried installing the Desire HD apks but it would just say 'Application not installed'.
I pulled the apks from v2 in this thread

Have you tried adb push? I'm not any kind of expert but that usually works when I am trying to install apps that won't install.

I'll give that a shot tonight. Thanks for the input.

[EDIT] Adb push didnt work either. Touch Input doesnt even show up in Language & Keyboard. I'm guessing something needs to be changed within the apks.

Well wish I could help then. Not good at doctoring apks.

Did you change the permissions to match that of the original keyboard. I recently got the 5MP camera working on my Android HD2 by simply changing the permissions using Root Explorer. Just long press the files and tick the appropriate permissions. Hope it works!

[Q] Desire hd browser port

Does anyone know how I might be able to port the desire hd browser? I love the pinch to bring up windows feature. I'm currently running Skyraider 3.3. I tried extracting it from the sense hd rom and moving it to system/app but that wouldn't install. I'm sure I'm approaching it from a way too simplistic angle. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not sure if you could do this...
The Desire is running the new sense, so this could be a problem?
Maybe if IncDoes chimes in he would know, or if you want to get ahold of him
Let us know how this goes!

how did you move it to your skyraider rom? if you used root explorer then you need to change permissions and then do a reboot.

Yeah I used Root Explorer. I changed permissions to read/write, moved out the old browser, moved in the new browser, changed permissions back, and finally did a reboot. No browser was recognized so I actually went in and hit install but it said install unsuccessful.

any luck with this?

Try this one. It is from the latest leak and does have pinch.
It is for only a deodexed ROM not stock and will work if pushed to /system/app/ with adb.

Worth a try. I guess it is dependent on something else in the leaked version.

Well it took me a while to figure out how to push with adb. I didn't know you just do it in the tools folder, I thought you ran adb shell first.
I appreciate your help, but it didn't work just immediately force closes.
Thanks anyways.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be much help, but maybe I can offer a little explanation as to why it wont work..
From what I can tell, most if not all the HTC stuff (widgets, apps, whatever) rely on some values from /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk. Basically it is all intertwined into a giant mess. As far as I can guess, the only way to get it to work would be to figure out what values the HD browser is looking for but can't find in the stock Inc framework. Then the stock framework would have to be edited, presumably using values from the HD framework. And as you probably guessed, just trying to run the HD framework on an otherwise stock Inc rom will send you into a never-ending boot loop.
I could be way off base, but that's my understanding of it at least.

You are on the money. On top of resources, I believe there may be a few framework classes required to get the new functionality working properly. This will be a cat and mouse game for a while. Certainly not just an apk push. You will need to make a change, log the failure, find out what its looking for, add said resource/class, rinse, and repeat.

I tinkered with it last night on my 2.2 ROM and there are dependencies all over the place. I think I will just move forward with the leaked ROM and tinker in my spare time.

Original mail app.apk?

So I rooted my phone and forgot to back up my original mail app that came with the phone. Not Gmail but the other one labled mail.
I deleted it with Titanium B.U because i only had my gmail to look at. I now have another email and I wish to sync with my phone.
Does anybody have an apk for it or does one even exist? I have an nandro flash but I don't want to flash back just to save it and then flash back again. But if I have to, then I have to.

Did u check market for email app? I didnt find it tho
You can download a rom, open it, go to system, app and find email. Apk and move it to your phone and install it
Id be glad to post it but im not on my computer im just giviing you a place to get it on your own if someone else does not chime in for you

I've looked at ones in the market but they don't seem to tickle my fancy. Thanks for your help, though. I just may flashback. I don't want to, I've been pooped out of flashing this past month.

GingerVillian 1.5. This is the most stable rom I have used. Everything works perfect. Market worked off the bat unlike all of the CMs I have tried.
Thanks for the attachment.

My phone had problems parsing the file.
