The topic cm6 tips and tricks has a link for the Sprint visual voicemail. When I downloaded it, it came in a. Zip so I figured I should flash it on. But then it said to extract it and install via and or root access.
How do I do that? I'm running cm6nightly.
Pull the .apk file out of the ZIP file. If you open it up and there's no APK, then try renaming it to a .apk then open up a command prompt and use ADB to install.
I just flashed it and it worked fine.
Hi.
I have some apps i want to install.
I have uninstalled the weather app along with the weatherSyncProvider and WeatherProvider.
So all the posts say "copy to system/app, clear dalvik-cahce, and reboot" to install a system app.
But thats not working. So after rebooting, i went into Root Explorer and installed the Weather app. It installed successfully.
On the other hand, the WeatherSyncProvider and WeatherProvider app didnt install giving the "Application not installed" message.
I tried using adb to install it, and it gave me an error (forgot what the error said exactly) but it gave the meaning that the error was got to do with the sharedID
which is com.htc.uid.rosie. I've tired way too much, but cant get it to install.
Do i have to change anything in the AndroidManifest.xml file?
---- OH and same thing happens to HtcMusic.apk, but this gives the DEXOPT error, and the .apk had no .dex file but has a .odex file and im running a stock 2.3.3 rooted odex ROM
Root is not enough to make persistant changes to the system directory, you need S-OFF.
Oh and you should use a deodexed ROM, it will save you the hassle of deleting the odex files.
yea, i have radio and eng s-off.
i've been to many posts, read MANY solutions, but none work.
I like the odex ROMs, mostly because its more stock'ish' and i like the challenge! , but as you can see i've hit a little bump with the error that adb is giving me (DEXOPT and SHARED ID).
And if you could please...
When i get an app that is DEXed, will using the 'dexopt-wrapper' command always work to make a .odex file? -- because i used it with the sense 3.0 lockscreen and it worked but with
com.htc.framework.jar (in /system/framework/)
it didnt. -- it wouldnt even load the bootanimation, just hanged on the HTC splash screen.
Could you tell me the importance of the com.htc.framework.jar file?
Sorry if its too much questions! ... any help would be greatly appreciated!
A similar issue happened to me just a few days back. While trying to apply a Rosie patch, i just used Root Explorer to copy the new apk to /data/app_s, but for some reason that did not work.
So i then tried pushing the apk via adb, and it worked. I'm not really sure what difference this makes, but it seemed to work for me.
So maybe you could give this a try. Instead of copy-pasting, try to do a push.
i've tried both ... still not working
I installed Ice Cream Senseless on my HTC Droid Incredible, after that, I tried to install the Email.apk application using the File Manager. I have enabled "Unknown Sources", but still, when I try to install it, I get the error message: "Application not installed".
Any help? I'm not sure why I can't install it.
Are you clicking on it an selecting install? You need to just drop the mail apk in the /system/app folder, make sure it has the correct permissions, owner, and group, and then reboot the phone. Once booted it should be in the app drawer.
I had a Galaxy S2 and upgraded too Galaxy S3 two wks ago. I liked the sytem clock on the S2 that was on the home screen. I have found available to download in the .apk format but when i try to install it, it says "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed" so google how to change signatures and started getting over my head. Has anyone found an S2 digitalclock.apk that will work on the S3 and just download and install over the clock.apk on the S3

i am having the same issue. all that i have learned from research is that you have to delete the origional digital clock apk, and you have to check in system settings "allow installation of unknown apps" option, but i have done so and it still says "x Application not installed".
i dont know what else to try. i could also use the help.

Some apk file will not install at all unless they are placed into the /system/app folder & then you need to use a good explorer or adb shell to chmod & chown the file with correct permissions & group/owner data.
Other apks will not install period, especially if they require resources or framework that is not in the existing rom, or if they rely on a different bootclasspath. That is where XDAutoTool & build working comes in to play. It extracts the necessary lib or resource files & integrates part of the required framework into the rebuilt apk.
I can't seem to find one anywhere. All the links I am encountering are dead. Does anyone have this file laying around or know where I can get it? My evo is dead right now and from everything I've read this is what I need to get it up and running again. Thanks in advance.
Sorry but, RUU zip? Lol thats like saying you need a JPG word doc.
Anyway, I don't think you searched hard enough, look up "supersonic RUU's" on google, first hit. Download from there, they're hosted on team nocturnals website.
Lol right, been seeing a lot of these lately. And it seems only people who put in the op that they are "noobs" are the only ones who can't find this stuff. But, Phandroid is way worse about this. Which is funny because the sticky at the top of the forum has all the links and instructions to root and unroot every h-boot and hardware version. So what I'm saying is please people just LOOK, it's all you have to do, please.

you may find the ruu your looking for here.... http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
but the ruu will be a zip
if you want the zip, IE - PC36IMG.zip you will have to extract it.
i just did this exact thing today. i needed the shipped and pre-release ruu for some goodies contained within. followed this guide...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26541170&postcount=1
just rename ROM.zip to PC36IMG.zip instead of PG58IMG.zip
here's the gist of that thread you need to perform.
4.1 Getting PG58IMG.zip from RUU
Run the RUU executable as you normally would, but don't proceed to the second step i.e. when a second window appears, do nothing. Do not proceed, just ignore it for now, but don't close the window.
Right-click the Windows Start button and select "Open Window Explorer" option.
If you use Windows XP
Copy-paste this in the navigation bar:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp\
If you use Windows Vista/7
Press & hold Windows key on the keyboard and then press R (Win key + R). Once the box pops up, copy paste this:
Code:
%temp%
Right click anywhere inside explorer window (not on any folder) and select Sort by then select Date.
Locate the latest one created (first in the list & it will most likely have random numbers in the name) & open it.
You will find a second folder with a set of random numbers. Open it, inside you will find a number of files and the rom.zip
Copy the rom.zip file to another location.
Now, close the RUU executable folder & rename the rom.zip file as PG58IMG.zip
