So I have searched and google this to death for a couple weeks now. I have rooted my CDMA Desire (US Cellular), and deleted some of the bloatware. I jumped into it before reading all the how to's and such (stupid I know), and didn't back up my stock rom. I'm wanting to reinstall Friendstream, as I have the constant sync icon, as well as accounts and sync Force Closing when I try to open it.
I have heard that removing Friendstream causes this, so I would like to reinstall. I pushed the apk's for Friendstream, and the widget with no luck, so I'm guessing I need the odex files for my build. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Just find an odexed rom, unzip it, extract the .apk and the associated .odex file and push them to your device

I don't get any such errors and I've removed everything "social networking" related.
There's people who state Market doesn't work without GTalk... well, I've been running it fine since +5 months as such.

Still haven't had any luck getting this to work, would be easier if someone could just send me stock FriendStream.odex and widget .odex files for a bravoc 2.1 desire... I know nothing about finding an odexed ROM or anything like that. USCC still has yet to give a release date for 2.2 and my phone functionality is going to crap, as well as battery life due to it constantly trying to sync...

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!
Hey everyone,
I just got my evo (2.2) rooted last night (pretty happy about that since that was my first time rooting, and I got it on the first try, thanks to that amazing guide in the dev section). So far I've been able to remove all the Sprint crapware, without any problem. My next goal is a little more ambitious though and I want to make sure I don't mess this up...
I hate the new default mail app. This IMAP sync functionality for POP3 accounts really sucks.
So what I was wondering is... Would it be possible to manually swap out /system/app/mail.app for the mail.app from 2.1? What are the risks/dependencies? Has anyone tried this yet? And last, but not least, if this is possible, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the mail.app from 2.1?
Thanks,
Rifraf

You can just download the stock rooted 2.1 zip from the wiki, then open the zip, all the apk's will be in system then apps, .. I think thats where they are anyway. If thats no it just search around in the zip. The Mail.apk will be there somewhere.
So now I've got the Mail.apk and Mail.odex files from the 1.47.651.6 ROM.
I tried replacing the stock 2.2 Mail.apk and Mail.odex files in /system/app, and set the permissions on these files to 644 (same as the originals). Now the app isn't showing up at all on the phone in the UI.
Looks like, in the meantime, I'll be putting back the original 2.2 Mail apk/odex.
From what I read at code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions (sorry, n00bs can't include links in posts here), it appears that the only way to replace the new Mail.apk with the older version is to regenerate the odex file? Is this correct? This is, of course, assuming that the apk itself will work on the later OS (I'm hoping it will).
And if so, is there a walkthrough / guide how to do this?
Thanks,
rifraf
The tread says it all, So I rooted my phone and uninstalled amazon mp3 and city id via titanium backup. What will happen when I go to update in the future. Is there a way to add these applications back without doing any flashing?
What are my options to be able to update via OTA without having any issues?
I have tried moving the cityid.apk to the system/app folder and installed it from there, but it just installed as a normal application that can be removed.. I figured that I need to install it as a system application. I now know that I should have just renamed them.
Thanks

Amazon MP3 is in the Market. You should have rooted, used ROM Manager to back up your system, and then removed bloat. Most ROM's have these items removed, some still use CityID or another version that does the same thing.
My suggestion is if you are rooted, you can backup your apps and such, just run another ROM.
I couldn't find CityID in the Market, but various ROM postings may have the apk for download if you wanted to re-add it. I would check those postings to see if it is listed there, and make a directory to move the files to if you think you may need them again! Prevents headaches, especially if they are needed due to corruption or something weird.
Correct me if I am wrong, the only reason I wanted to restore these applications was so I could update when honeycomb or whatever the new Update is going to be.
With that being said, could I just downgrade my phone using the PB31IMG.zip , that would wipe everything out.. removing root, and it would bring back original files that were on phone ( city id etc.) then the phone would automatically update itself over the air? problem solved?
You could just run ruu on it if I'm not wrong

Well now I am really confused, the cityid.apk file just randomly showed back up in the browser... so i went and looked and it says it's a system app and wont let me uninstall it now... haha... this is so weird, so now I just need to find the original amazon mp3 then i will put it back in there and see if that works.
Is anyone able to get the Amazon Mp3.apk and upload it and send to me. I would like to get the one that originally came with my phone. Version 1.7.67 it is the one that came with stock froyo
Anyone have the stock rooted HTC Desire rom with Sense UI for USCC. When I flashed cyan I apparently didn't do a Nandroid Backup and was needing this. thanks...

Yeah, tried this one and it doesn't have htc sense...any other thoughts?
Why don't you think it has sense? It is the basically the factory image.
Sent from my HTC Desire via Tapatalk
It is basically a vanilla Cyan. It doesn't have the sense theme and/or any of the sense widgets. Basically I can deal without the widgets but I desperately need to be able to sync with my microsoft outlook. I used outlook religiously for all work info and need that info to be on my phone as well. The Sense operating system allowed this whenplugged through usb, you could download HTC Sync and it would sync up my outlook with my phone....Info in outlook needed: contacts, calendar, tasks....I've downloaded a calendar app which used gmail to sync and that's okay, (not great) but the main thing is my tasks and contacts now....
The one I pointed to brought my phone back to the way it was when I got the phone aside from being rooted still. It has all the original widgets that came with it.
I also sync my outlook calendar, contacts and email with it.
The only difference was that this image was still rooted and not set back to a true unrooted factory state. I'm really not sure why you are not seeing you phone back to the way it was when you walked out of the USCellular store the day you got it after restoring to this image.
Have you tried connecting con247 yet and see what he says about this?
I don't know either.....I will try and contact him and let you know...thanks for the help...
edit: I tried downloading it again and the same result. Boots up Cyan again. Does it matter if you use the free download link rather than purchasing the premium. Another thought: If I get a hold of another desire and root it and then do a back up of the Sense UI, could I just simply copy/paste the backup into my SD Card backup file and then restore that?
It sounds like you need to undo the cyan install somehow before you can run this.
I have not gone any further than a basic root to remove some apps so I am not too familiar with what all doing a cyan mod changes on the system.

I just need The Stock so the *22890 will program my phone, Im having a hard time finding it for some reason.
And why can you revert back the root? As I can see, you have stock rom, but only rooted. If it's working properly, it's no reason to unroot. Id you do it because of original HTC service, they can realize that you were rooted even if now you aren't.
Edit: But if you want to find Stock rom with no changes, try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667.
Hey Guys
Im trying to get rid of these annoying ads from pingchat or angry birds and even though the adfree is installed downloaded the hosts files etc and rebooted it still shows the ads, did Google blocked adfree in Froyo roms?
thanks
Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall adfree ? I had this issue before and that fixed the problem.
Must admit I'm having trouble with it at the moment too, been the last week or so maybe?
When I first rooted my phone (about 3 weeks ago) it was fine, but more recently it refuses to work. App itself is happy, just that it doesn't block ads.
Yeh well just reinstalled adfree and still nothing :/ hmm any ideas appreciated

Try Redux RC6 ROM, it seems to have adblocking built in (and is also a generally fantastic ROM) - its working well for me right now.
Also try Gingervillain 0.9 - once you're running it, you can install an adblocking zip from the villain setup app which is built in to the ROM. GV 1.0 is now available, but general feedback seems to suggest that it is buggy compared to 0.9, so go for 0.9 - I used to use this and it was fine, plus adblocking worked!!
I've always found setup to successfully run it to be different with every other ROM I tried - even across versions of the same ROM (which is a PITA). Mainly because of the variance in ROM structures. Right now for instance, I'm debugging the same issue on RCMixHD v3.0 D2W and I still can't manage to get it working.

I've managed to get it working again by finding my "hosts" file and deleting it and letting adfree to regenerate it again. Somewhere in "etc" folder.
Hope this helps.

what directory?
and btw I am not willing to change my rom until gingerbread for nexus is released and ported
Its straight in system/etc.
I also just had this link suggested. Flash via recovery for hosts update, host listing updated weekly so just reflash if you start getting ads.
Just removed adfree and flashed this and can confirm it works.
