Hi Folks
I hope someone can help me out here...
I recently cleaned out my rooted DHD with Titanium backup, removing all Vodafone branded crap in there, but i accidentally also removed HTC Music, lol
Fortunately i made a nandroid backup with CWM, but I'm unable to browse the content as it seems the .bin archive is not accessible/compatible with the standard compression tools (like winrar)
How do i access the archive, and where (what folder on my DHD) do i copy the HTC music .apk to when extracted?
Or can i just re-install the apk with HTC sync?
If it's not possible then that's OK as I'm using Poweramp at the moment.....
thanks in advance!
get a rooted stock rom with your base (1.32, 1.72...) , extract the htcmusic.apk from it and move it to your system/app with root explorer or adb
Thanks for your swift response!
I got hold of a stock ROM (from the development threads here) but have the same problem as with my nandroid backup.. i cannot open/browse the archive content.
Should i use some specific tool to be able to extract/browse the .img archives?
Here you go, extracted it from [ROM] LeeDrOiD HD v2.2.3 [Kernel] LeeDrOiD v2.2.9 .zip file instead of the stock .img, using 7-Zip program for Windows 7 PC. When using it, right click -> open archive -> System / App -> copy........

Extracting the apps from a custom ROM is the best and simplest way to do this.
If anyone needs to extract his nandroid backup though, unyaffs (http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/) and cygwin (or a native Linux environment) will do the trick.
Thanks all for your advice and guidance.. i got HTC music back with both the methods mentioned here
At least i know now how to get in to the nandroid archive.
Cheers, R
Gents,
I need your help again...
Now I've managed to get HtcMusic.apk back to my system/app folder.
I've tried to push the .apk with ADB but that didn't work as the system/app folder was read only, so i had to copy the apk to the root my sd stick and move it to the proper folder with root explorer after i changed the folder to temporarily read/write.
But now the application doesn't show up anywhere on my phone - Like its invisible - I rebooted the phone but that has no effect as well.
I can only find it with root explorer.
How can i get it to work again?
Did you change the permissions to be the same as the other files in that directory?
yes i did, like all the other files in that directory: rw--r--r--
but to no effect
Did you try using package installer to install from the new directory or sdcard?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
No i did not try that yet.. i just moved the apk. from my sd/root to system/app as advised here..
Sorry for the dumb question, but where can i find package installer?
edit: Ok i found i can install via root explorer, but it doesn't seem to work.. packet not installed, not even when i change the system/ap directory to read/write and change the apk permissions to r/w/x
Should i try to install the apk via HTC synch on my PC? (although i understood that it is not possible to reinstall sense apps this way)
Hi,
Has anyone an idea what i can try next?
perhaps fixing permissions in rom manager, or installing the .apk via recovery?
And I'm also wondering if the system/app directory is the correct folder where HTC Music goes (because there's also an /data/app and data/data folder where HTC apps reside).. Can someone check and confirm please?
thanks
I think it's safe to bump the thread as more that a month has passed.
Does anyone have an idea what to try next? All my attempts have failed so far.
Would also like to know if system/app is the correct folder where htcmusic.apk is installed as there's also /data/app and data/data folder where HTC apps reside
Ok, im a bit closer getting it to work.
I flashed HTC music in a zip file through CWM recovery - A guy from an Dutch Android revolution site made a zip and advised to flash it via CWM recovery - and the app is back.
the only thing is that it force_closes (com.htc.music stopped unexpectedly)
Fixing permissions through rom manager doesn't work either.
What can i do next?
p.s. HTC music version i'm using is 2.0.0000.278886 - So maybe it's an outdated version?

Hello,
i have a question about my desire hd. i can install only apk files and zip files are not install.
with the runny rom i can zip apps, but with revolution 6.2.0 i can only install apk apps.
but why? why i can`t install zip apps?
Hi
Can install from recovery mode
Reboot into recovery and select install zip from sd find the zip in question and flash it
It's not a recovery file - i think. i want to download a app in the market but the app is not in order with the original roms and with the revoltion 6.2.0.
unter system/apps/ there are zip files and these zip files are my app what i need. but i think apps are apk only.
it may be some apps in the market are zip?
Here are the two apps, which are as zip.
i have no idea. this two apps work only with the runny 4.0 rom and with revolution 6.2.0 they do not work with this rom. i think it doesn't work because that are zip files.
does anyone have an idea?

Not too sure here, but look in /data/app-private
I think you might find the apk in there
My banking app does this and I just pulled the apk from there and just install from that afterwards.

Hi,
I'm using custom rom based on CM7. But accidentally i erased camera app from it. I try to use froyo stock HTCCamera.apk, but it won't work. Does anybody have Camera.apk from CM7?

If you still have/can download your custom ROM .zip archive, you can extract the Camera.apk from it (with WinZip, WinRAR etc.) and copy/flash it to your /system/app folder (Root Explorer/ADB).
oh i see... i will try first... thanks a lot.

first of all you cant install a SYSTEM apk.. you can just paste themm
copy the mms.apk to your sd card.. then with a file explorer (ES File explorer) paste it in this directory /system/app/mms.apk (root needed , n you wil have to mount the system as RW (ie read n write) n also on the root explorer.. this can be done from settings of Es file explorer ) or simply use an root explorer
so i wanted to make a rom with all the tweacks that i install via cwm after installing the rom
i unzipped the rom (cm10) and started reading the different threads and putting all the files and making all the changes that are needed to make the tweacks work
i also added some apps
and now what?
if i just zip it gives me an error when i install
do i need to zip it some way or it's meta-inf problem?
