[Q] How to install "HTC Hub" w/o custom ROM?

I have tried seems to be everything to install HTC Hub. I have tried several apks and even tried apks from custom ROMs with no success. Can someone tell me if it is possible to install HTC Hub on stock 2.3 rooted ROM or is there a flashable zip that I can use?

Is HTC Hub Sense 2.1/3.0 specific?

Yes. It is for 2.1+

You can just download the zip with all the ringtones, notifications etc from here:

Thank you but this is an old version and wont install.

You should send either KING or Virus or one of the other devs a message with what you'd like. They are pretty swamped but they somehow seem to try to get back to everyone.

Instead of installing it normally, you need to place it in system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--

I would like to pull it from the synergy ROM but I am not sure what apks I need? Can you tell me what apks I need and should there be a odex file to go along with the apks that are needed.

How to get HTCtwitter to work again?

I deleted com.htc.twitterwidget.apk and twitter.apk about a week ago and then I found I needed them back.
I got them from LeeDroid's HD port rom zip (the one I'm using now) put them into /system/app and /data/app but they don't show up in the app drawer with all the other apps, not even a reboot of the device.
What I want to do is add my twitter account to friendstream and am having no luck thus far.
Your suggestions?

For friendstream you would have to copy it to /system/app and set permissions.

no twitter for android r not htc twitter
u can un zip the rom and search for htc twitter and install it again

I tried to install it again but it didn't work.

Did you get an error message? What did you do to install the app?
TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

Maybe heck the permissions of the apk's when you placed them in the system folder then maybe clear dalvik and cache so it can rebuild everything including the new apk's.
Or just reflash the ROM again?

If all else fails I'll do just that, thanks.

Sign apk and try to install it again. If this does not work, move the apk to /system/app. If you are s-off, you can do this in runinng system with e.g. root explorer; if you are still s-on, you hav to do it via adb. Now reboot your phone.
But make nandroid backup before, just in case.

I reflashed the ROM as none of the above worked.

One do you have CWM installed. If so boot to recovery and wipe Dalvik cache and wipe cache partition.
Make sure these are the only permissions set ON; Read-Owner, Read-Group, Read-Others and Write-Owner.
This should reset the application back.

many force closes r occuring google services framework and android.process.acore

Sounds like you did more than delete the com.android.providers.contacts.apk.
You might be better off re-flashing your ROM or do as ahmadns said and just run the RUU to restore your phone.

You can use ES File Explorer from the market, its free. Navigate to the apk(/system/app) and set the permissions.

i havent deleted anything else..hmm ok help me with re-falshing or running the RUU

By chance did you try to change the permissions on the apk after you copied it back? Then you would need to reboot the phone after, my bad I forgot to state that.
But if that did not work, then go to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445 and find your version RUU.

ya i changed da permission...should i put da same RUU or can i put a different one?? i was planning to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260590

Since you have CWM installed then do use Jikantaru ROM, he does excellent work!
Other wise if you ran the RUU it would over right the CWM and root, so you would have to do that all over again, unless you just extracted the rom.zip file and installed that thru CWM.

ok...will this fix my problem?? i have 4 custom roms im a lil confused which to select http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314430..i would prefer this bcoz i need internal memory or this 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317931....then cm7 port and da other one which i hav already told u b4...

In essence yes. This will wipe and install a fresh ROM. If I was you, try all of them to find which one better suites your needs. They are all developed by talented people with each there own style and taste. Just try them at least for two days each to properly understand the differences. You will not go wrong with any in my opion.

after installing custom rom can i change back to original rom??

[Q] How to re-install HTC Sense 2.1 lock screen?

I accidentally deleted the htc sense 2.1 lock screen from my Wildfire S. I do not have a backup either. How do I get back my stock 2.1 lock screen?

Use my patch if you want for sense 3.5 , it is built to replace the original lockscreen , but if you got it removed it will re-add the patched files ...

U could try taking the htclockscreen.apk and rosie.apk from /system/app from the .zip of the rom you are using. Copy that to your current /system/app and change permissions to rw- r- r-

How do I do that? And I don't have any lock screen files in that folder. Also, how do I change permissions?

Use es file explorer. Open it up and go to settings, turn on root explorer, then mount file system. To get to / click on the star on the top left "favorites". To change permissions long press the file, go to properties, then it will show permissions and has a change button to let u modify. Download the ROM.zip u r using and use es to browse .zip and copy the files u need. Don't forget the odex files if your rom has them

How do i install it?

What is it doing? It doesn't have to install just needs the files copied to the correct location and the permissions changed. Then u just need to reboot and clearing cache and dalvik cache would be a good idea.

You don't have to install it. You have to replace it. Or in your case just copy and paste it in the /system/app folder.

ICS People App

I've looked everywhere that I can think of, or but can find what I'm looking for, and so here goes.
I was wondering if there is an apk available for the ICS Peoe app?

Don't install it, use root explorer or similar, move it to /system, change permissions and then move to apps.

OK thanks, what do permissions need to be set to? Will I be able to remove the stock Sony Contacts app as well? Roland

Using root explorer, it's x x, x, x from top down. Use your file manager to check permissions on another app and use the same.

Use jj's rom its all almost aosp looking and feel it has aosp contacts

And then?
What do I do after setting permissions & moving to /system/app? I can't find any way to open it, and it still won't install ("Parsing Error")
Thanks!

You reboot your phone and it should replace the stock app.

I followed the instructions.
1. Copy Contact.apk inside system/app
2. Changed permission to rw-r-r which is same for other apps
3. Rebooted, I see get my xperia stock contacts.
I am sure I missed something, when I try to install from system/app it does not install.

Great, but some how I can't find the default contact.apk to replace
Perhaps my mistake, using Xperia Pureness rom, possibly its moved somewhere else.

Look in the themes and apps section, I've uploaded the apps folder for situations like this.
Sent from my Phone.

Okay I found out that this rom is using PhoneBook.apk for contacts.
I tried removing PhoneBook.apk and keeping just Contacts.apk reboot
Renamed Contacts to PhoneBook reboot
But in vain.
Permissions are same.
Now restored PhoneBook.apk until I find a solution to get Contacts.apk to run.
