Before rooting and installing LeDroid rom on my unlocked htc desire, I backed up some helpful apps that came preinstalled on the device, which are not available on the market or anywhere else...
when i try to install these apps on my desire later on, it says "application can't be installed"...
Any ideas?!
Copy the .apk's to /system/app/

Then what?
I used adb push in recovery to push apk files to /system/app
adb install packagename.apk gives this error
Code:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]
That means the .apk is odexed, Looks like you need the .odex file for the apk

im using damage control 3.2.3 with a custom kernel for damage control 3.7.1, thanks!
Leave them on your sd card and then try installing them using your file explorer.

when pusing them to /system/app with root explorer you have to change the permissions of each app you copy over (hold select the app and choose change permissions) i just check off all of the permissions thingys
when pushing through adb it does that automatically
hope that helps
the default ones are all can read and user can write plus read
Thread moved to Q&A.
yea i checked all the permissions and used adb before and still not showing up, lol really frustrating
any ideas guys, really miss friendstream lol
An easy way to fix permissions is through ROM manager.
Download it in the market and select fix apk permissions.
That might do the trick..
Don't forget to reboot.
yea tried that doesnt work, really weird
Very strange, did you try an adb install? Rather than push..
Last week i rooted my Desire Z and removed some system app's. Like gtalk/talk..
Is it possible to reinstall this program again without removing everthing? I found some talk.apk or gtalk.apk but they didn't work for me.. Maybe its because i have a newer ROM.
Can anyone with a desire Z share the apk of talk/gtalk??
Thanks

try restoring a nandroid backup...and honestly if i knew how to adb pull i would post it, but imjust learning adb commands right now.
never removed talk! its linked to the market and can screw everything up
Okey.. but how do i install it again ?
After a lot of googling I found the solution which was easier as I thought.
- Install Astro (or another file explorer)
- Go to /system/app/ and hit talk.apk
The talk.apk must be in the app folder, because when it's on the SD it will not work. I was lucky the talk.apk was on my device itself, because I downloaded a couple of talk.apk but those where from different devices (HTC Orange, HTC Desire).
Hope It's useful
How did you remove the preinstalled apps? My dz is rooted and I've tried uninstalling using titanium backup but it won't work...

SU File Manager
Root Explorer
Android Mate
Those all should get you root access to delete apps in /system/app

I have Root Manager and when i try to remove Amazon MP3 it just says that the app is removed and that i should restart, though the app is still there.
Any clue what the problem may be?

This is the Gallery.apk from SalvageMod1.1. I'm not sure if it's the exact one you're looking for, but it came from a Gingerbread Rom.
It keeps saying application not installed.. is it because I'm using kings GB??

Don't intstall it, put it in /system/app and then do fix permissions.

As the other guy said, either adb push it to system/app, like this
adb remount
adb push Gallery.apk /system/app
adb reboot
or, as was already instructed, you can use a file explorer, such as root explorer, or es file explorer, to move the Gallery.apk to the /system/app folder. Then fix permissions and reboot

If none of this works either save apps and ref lash or restore a backup...

You know sense 3.0 mms app better than 2.x. Is there any way to install it on stock rom without flashing a custom rom?
You will need to have ADB installed on your computer.
If you don't already, look for a guide. I recommend you install it like this. "C:/Android"
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled.
Place the file I provided into the folder with ADB in it.
Start ADB using the path you used to install it.
Use this code.
Code:
adb remount
adb push Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk
That should work for you.

Since you have a stock rom, yes, you definitely have to !

nope you dont need, with a root enabled file explorer go to /system/app and delete mms.odex, if it doesnt work go to recovery and wipe dalvik, if it also doesnt work, i attached odexed version of mms.apk, extract my attached file into your sd card, copy them to /system/app and set permissions to -rw -r -r, and it should work.
question
is there a way to get the sense 3.0 mms app on CM7 by any chance?

mms
will this replace stock mms? i am missing part of it and having a lot of probs with mms can send but not receive on my rooted but still factory rom wildfire s
If on a deodexed rom then replace sense 2.1 mms app with sense 3.0 mms app. Set permissions r-w-rr or 644. Perform a reboot for changes to take place.
If on an odexed rom delete both Mms.apk and Mms.odex. Add the new Mms.apk and set permissions. Perform a reboot for changes to take place.

That's perfectly fine. I was green too. In certain areas I'm still green. Just delete Mms.odex. Replace Mms.apk with sense 3.0 one. Set permissions and reboot.
OK so I really like the music, SMS, and file explorer apps that come in the JB MIUI ROM. So I pulled them from the zip file but I cannot install them. Every time I go to install them the install process seems to run however it says application not installed. Anyway to properly install them? Do I have to push them through adb or some other method? Thanks in advance.

Maybe have dependencies and then you can not do ... maybe ...
remount /system rw, push the apps there through adb (with the device in recovery).
not installed probably because you already have sms, music installed?
