Hi there, i'm developing some platform signed apps, though i want to install them on my Hero without flashing the image (running stock image).
My problem is that the stock image will have been signed with a different cert then the one i have to sign my app. Does anyone no of a way i can extract the cert from the rom on my device so i can sign my app with the same cert?
Any info on installing system apps without flashing a new rom will be appreciated.
Thanks, Ne0
You can probably use the Root explorer go in and move the cert file to your SD card or extract one of these update.zip roms and get it that way.
Anyone got a copy of qtv.dll I can download? I want to see what I can do with it...
Unfortunately, I can't copy it off my phone and have failed in finding it elsewhere. If there are related files to qtv.dll I could use those, too.
Thanks!
I believe I did it myself... dump the rom and then extract files out...
Hopefully it's an exact copy...
can you upload the file here too please? have you figured out what is need register the dll in the system?
Anyone tried to extract the files inside? May I know whether the files inside the patch folder(which are the files end with *.p extension) are important or not? I am trying to export some apk out but I don't even know how to include them or should I include them. Any help?
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........
View attachment HtcMusic.apk
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?

hi,
i was wondering how to remove the HTC Hub on my phone
i have the HiApk sensefun GSv1.1 installed on my phone
its rooted and have the alpharev boot recovery installed,
and if it will have any long-term effect on my phone, since sense.com/htc hub isnt available for my desire nor do i think HTC would ever care to make it available
Regards
Jimmy S.
you can uninstall it via titanium backup.
for other methods i'm not sure. if you have root explorer installed you can see all .apk's in "system/sd/app_s" folder. but i don't know if you can uninstall it by just deleting it's .apk file, or is there more to it....
i'll try with titanium, there is no ext partition for my ROM, and i have checked the app folder on the phone, and it isnt there... uninstalled alot of other HTC crap that way...
Edit:
titanium backup worked, thx alot.
oh, right...maybe you should be s-off to see system folders...glad it worked...
but now i'm curious. can apps be uninstalled just by deleting .apk's from system/sd/app_s folder? i figured, better to ask if somebody knows this, before i try and sc**w up my rom and have to flash it all over again...
thx in advance...
p.s. sorry for hijacking your thread...
yes it can be done, i found an application that can sign the package
so all i had to do was open zip archive, delete which apps i didnt want (i deleted mostly the theme's they take up around 8-9MB)and then just use an application called auto-sign to resign the zip archive
copy it to my phone, and just installing in recovery....
very easy...
