So I'm running cm6.1 and have sprint vvm installed and working just fine but I want the green vanilla icon instead of the sprint icon. Does anyone know of an existing apk with that icon already on it? I have already tried to modify the current vvm apk I have and replace the vanilla icon with no avail. For whatever reason when I change the icons in better zip, it does not save the changes. I have tried everything so now I'm hoping I can just find an apk that someone has already modified. Any help would be great!! Thanks!
Oh and I can't use 7zip because I'm on a Mac.
The reason the icon won't stick is probably because you've updated vvm apk. If you apply the icon to the apk in /system/app it won't work because the updated apk is in /data/app. Look for the vvm apk in /data/app and try that.
I just looked in the data folder but it is empty... hmm. And the current vvm app I have is stored on my SD card. I initially downloaded the original apk and then installed through astro. Also there is no voicemail apk in system/app either. I never imagined I would have this hard of a time! Lol any other suggestions? And thanks for the help thus far!
You don't have Sprint_VVM.apk in your /system/app folder? And there is nothing like com.voicemailblahblah-1.apk in your /data/app folder? I don't know if astro can read teh /data folder, if you see nothing in /data/app you need another file explorer or use ADB.
I am using the file explorer that came with cm6.1. When I access the data folder from the root it is empty. Would the fact that the voicemail app doesn't come with cyanogen have to do with it? I initially just took the vvm apk from fresh 3.4 and installed it through astro. And it worked just fine. So now I figured out how to add the. PNG files to the apk and save it successfully, however after I uninstalled the original vvm apk and install the new apk it says application did not install.. does that make sense? Lol
After about 30 failed attempts I finally got it figured out! I didn't realize I needed to delete the meta-inf folder before really signing it. Again thanks for helping!
Yeah, all your market apps are in /data/app along with any updated system apps. You can't see those apps with astro or the cm explorer but they are there.

I have just installed the Pays-ROM Defy v6.0 Froyo with Ginger feeling in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943258.
I don't want to use the mms.apk(I cann't remember its name accurately) and delete it, but now I donn't have a text messaging app. So could you please tell me how to recovery it?
Thanks a lot!
BTW, I cann't find a file manager in the ROM.
if you deleted it, youll have to get it from someone else, or you could do a nandroid backup, re install pays ROM and copy the app to your memory card using root explorer or similar, then restore your old backup and install the apk from your memory card

I have got the app folder from CG39.smg, but I don't know which app is for the Text Messagings.
I tried copy Conversations.apk and Conversations.odex to "SystemAppBackup" folder (I have SystemApp Remover installed), and then used SystemApp Remover' recovery function but it didn't work.
Try with Messaging.apk and Messaging.odex. (you can copy those files in your /system/app folder also using adb if you have Android SDK installed on your computer)
Currently I am at work and I don't have the usb cable with me, but when I'll get home I'll send you those files (if you don't get them by then)
Im pretty sure the app needed for sending sms' and settings is something like mms.apk, ill have a look in my system folder for ya
EDIT: yeah im pretty sure its mms.apk, id post mine up for you, but im on cyanogen so itd be a different app.

Thank you! I want to recovery the original text app and the mms.apk on cyanogen may be different.

I tried in this way but the yaffs explorer I used cann't access the root under the Pays-ROM Defy v6.0, which works well under other stock rom. And before I found Root Explorer I have flashed another stock rom because I couldn't wait to stay with a rom cann't send and receive text message. Maybe the mms.apk is also OK.
Sorry for my poor English.
Hi,
in the 2.3.4 with the SGS2 the memo app has the function to sync with Google docs, nice
thats what iam waiting since my "old" SGS1 !
But i also want that on my old SGS1 and on my SGT is it possible to install there also?
Can someone extract the new memo apk, and would that work?
No one has a sulution?
Did you find anything, because I also would need it.
I know this is an old thread, but you can install the SGS2 software on your SGS1, but you will need to install the touchwiz framework and TW framework jar file to the system/framework folder of your SGS1.... then you will need to add this app and any other SGS2 app that you want but via adding it to system as a system app. You may not be able to install it directly or you may get a message like "application not installed" push via adb maybe or use rootbrowser (its free here on XDA)
so i have tried everything just can't get this to work file explorer root titanium backup also through pc i am trying to get the stock browser i am using the one from frozen rom.... to transport to metamorphisis cant seem to get it to paste into the system/app section i was wondering if there is anyone willing to do this for me and attach a download link or a email attachment of some sort would be greatly appreciated... or is there a way to just pull the apk flash the rom and install the apk... thanks guys..
I had gtalk running on my milestone 3 months back and I changed my phone to Desire HD and Today I tried to install gtalk.apk but it kept saying application not installed. I checked with 3-4 apk's , all gave the same error.
Can anyone guide me as what to do ?
BUMP . Anyone please?
Gtalk.apk is a system application, it is better you try and install this from market?
IF you have custom rom you can directly mount /system/app and copy the gtalk.apk to /system/app
