I installed the honeycomb music player on my evo but I like the stock 2.3 player better. Does anyone have a link to download the stock 2.3 player? Thanks.

Here ya go. I pulled it out of SalvageMod 1.1
Most likely will need to be pushed to /system/app
You could just re-flash your ROM...

Root explorer
Copy the file over to system/apps and make the permissions the same as the rest of the folder.
If it asked to overwrite just hit yes.

It tells me it has a problem parsing the package. Any suggestions?

You need to place the apk on the root of your sdcard, then open root explorer, enable r/w mode, navigate to sdcard, copy the apk, then get into the system/app folder, then paste.

What steps are you doing? I can't test the file because I don't have an evo at the moment.
I put it at the root of my SD card and then I copy and pasted it to /system/app and then I tried to install it. Could you explain to me what parsing is?
I also mounted r/w
Well the parsing error is cuz its having trouble reading the file.
So does that mean the file is corrupt?
Its possible, I would try re-downloading it.

The problem is because you're trying to install it. You don't install system apps. You just copy and paste it to the /system/app folder. THen make sure your permissions are set correctly, by long pressing on the Music.apk, and selecting permissions. Then be sure that user: read/write are both checked. After that, reboot. That's it. You don't click on 'install'. Copy, paste, check permissions, reboot.
or of course
adb remount
adb push Music.apk /system/app
adb reboot
I just tried all of that and it isnt installed after I reboot.

You finally get your phone back? It's about time!
I just downloaded the Music.apk that I attatched, and can't get it to install. I'm on a Sense rom at the moment, and have never tried installing the Gingerbread Music.apk on a Sense rom, and doubt/not sure that it would even work to begin with. Either that, or maybe there are other files that need to go with it? Any other music player I've installed (HTC music player, MIUI player, and Honeycomb player) has no other necessary files, and you just push the .apk to /system/app and all is good. This one seems different, or it just doesn't work on Sense roms. I'm not sure. I tried the Music.apk from Evervolv too, but that wouldn't work either.
OP, what Rom is it that you're on? Are you currently on a Gingerbread rom? If so, just wipe cache, and dalvik cache, then re flash the ROM, as drmac suggested before. That will give you back all of the apps that came with the rom. If you are indeed on a Gingerbread ROM, you'll get the player you're after back. If you're not on a Gingerbread ROM, I'm not sure that the 2.3GB player will work on it to begin with.

i suggest you put the sdk folder in C:\ makes it easier you use in adb and put launcher2 file in the sdk after you put it in C:\
open command prompt
type "cd C:\sdk\tools"
then type "adb push C:\sdk\launcher2.apk /system/app/
if it works all you have to do is press your home key then it will let you choose which launcher you want
It's still not working. Ive tried moving it in file explorer but it wont let me. I can't even uninstall adw.
Try adb remount, then push the files

download this http://www.mediafire.com/?h14r700b3euwhhc
put the launcher apk & this file on your sdcard & use file manager to install the root explorer..then open it
scroll down to system..in system go to app(this is where your apps are)
if a grey button on the top says r/w click it..this will allow you to move or delete files in the app folder
then try to move launcher into the app folder
thanks so much. sorry for all the headache.

Hello all! I rooted my EVO last month, and am running the Fresh EVO 3.5 ROM. The developer removed many of the OEM "apps" including the FM radio. (I use quotes, because things like the FM radio aren't just apps... it's part of the functionality of the phone, and without it, you're removing a capability of the phone.)
In order to get it back, I tried installing from the SD card where he stored all the removed apps, which the developer himself says wouldn't work. No surprise, it didn't work. "Application not installed"
I moved it to system/app and tried to install, whence I'm again told "Application not installed."
Downloaded the .apk (found by searching some forums), moved it into system/app and tried installing it with the same result ("Application not installed").
Tried using "AppInstaller" on the .apk, same result.
I'm frustrated that this ROM, while great in every other respect, has killed some of the functionality of my phone. If someone could help me get the FM radio back, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
Try flashing this file from your recovery the same way you installed the Fresh ROM. It will install the HTC FM Radio app in your system/app. Without a zip file like this you would normally need to use an application like Root Explorer.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3000044/FM_Radio-FreshEvo-3.5.0.1-02142011.zip
P.S. Even though this is the app section its more for developing and modifying apps. In the future you should post basic questions like this in the Q&A section.
Thanks for the help and advice.
Your .zip did install the FM radio and widget files to the system/app folder, but they still will not install. I get the same message as I did before.
Also, I have Root Explorer - that's how I moved the .apk to the system/app folder in my original attempt.
I posted a tweaked apk in flipz's thread a few month's back that should install for you, by flashing from recovery. You can give it a shot as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9989719&postcount=7252
here you go, just flash
I guess I am not sure what issue you are having. I am running Fresh with out FM radio installed. I was able to use root explorer to move the file to system/app, then set the permissions, and reboot and once I was back into the launcher I was able to use the HTC radio app which was not there before. After doing that I restored my backup to before having the radio app installed and tried again using the zip file I supplied, rebooted, and I was able to use the app.
^ And for some reason, I was not able to do the same. The file was in system/app, but it would not install.
Toxin715 - Worked beautifully! Thank you!
Out of curiosity, do you have anything similar for the radio widget? I get the "Application not installed" error with that, as well... it's not as big of a deal, though.

If you have moved the apk to /system/app on your phone you do not need to install it, just reboot.

If that had been the case, I would've never bothered trying to install it, because "FM Radio" would've shown up in my apps and I'd have been happy to post that the issue was resolved. After rebooting when I had moved it to system/app with Root Explorer, it was not in my apps list, so I tried to install it (to no avail). Even after flashing the .zip you posted (after which I had to reboot to get out of recovery), it was in system/app, but not in my apps list; when I clicked on it in Root Explorer, I was given the "Application not installed" error. Even after flashing the .zip that Toxin715 and JsChiSurf posted, it was in system/app, but not in my apps list - the difference here was that when I went into Root Explorer and clicked on it, it let me install it, so now that issue is resolved.
Similarly, the widget is in system/app, but I assure you that I am not able to use the widget (I was going to post screen shots, but since I'm a n00b, the forum won't let me).
Toxin715 - Yes, if you could provide insight (or a .zip) for the widget, I'd be extremely grateful.
JsChiSurf - Thank you! I now see that it's your .zip, I just happened to try it directly from what Toxin715 had posted, so I didn't realize it at the time. Out of curiosity, what made your .zip any different from the others that I've tried and had no success with?
And open question to all who are reading - why would the app not show in my apps list if it is installed in system/app? Could something have gone wrong during the install of my ROM that perhaps a re-flash might correct?
Here's what I did to get it to work (using Root Explorer):
1) Copied HTCFMRadio.apk from fresh-removed-apks folder on my SD card
2) Navigated to system/app folder and clicked on "Mount R/W" button to make folder writable.
3) Pasted HTCFMRadio.app file in the system/app folder
4) Modified the permissions to match the other apps (rw-r--r--)
5) Rebooted the phone
That worked perfectly for me. I didn't modify the permissions at first and wasn't able to view the app in my app drawer. After I modified the permissions and rebooted, the app showed up as installed and worked perfectly.

You can just copy and paste it to /system/app. Using a file explorer, but you must set the right permissions afterwards, or if you have a pc, you can use adb, just to push the .apk

when you say "push the .apk" do you basically mean move the downloaded .apk-file to /system/app then install it from there or what?

No push is a command used by adb, so you would use the command "adb push xxxx.apk /system/app" and that would move the apk to that location, you dont need to install apps to /system/ just copy them there

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.

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?

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.

Hi all,
Something happened to my phone and I ended up having to wipe and re-flash everything. Long story short, I did have the Samsung email 5.0.0.00400 install with the new ROM but I accidentally deleted it via TI Backup. I tried re-installing a backed up version of 5.0.0.00200 but it will not install for some reason.
I've searched around and the most recent apk I could find is 3.3.something, which I have installed now, but I'd really like to get back to the newer version. I know I can re-flash the ROM, but I've done quite a bit of setup, restoring apps and widgets, etc. at this point and I'd hate to lose all that. Figured I'd ask here before going down that road.
Could someone please be kind and link me to a stock Samsung mail app apk for version 5.0 and above?
Thank you in advance!

Still a noob when it comes to some most of this stuff. In this case odex vs deodex. I see the 2 apk files as well as all the files in the lib folder. I'm assuming the apk files install as normal? What do I do with the lib files?

No problem.
If your rooted, you could try just copying the folders over to /system/app. The folder gets 0755 permission and the files get 0644 permission. And then they would be system files. This should work fine, as long as the permissions are set.
Or you could just try installing them regularly.
And Then if you want maybe use Ti Backup to make them system files.
Hope that helps

Yes I am rooted. So just to talk this out before I do anything... I've looked up how to set permissions for files and folders. I have ES File Explorer and understand I can change permissions with root explorer on. I've never done this before so just to make sure I have it correct...
I would copy both secEmail_K and SecExchange folders to the /system/app folder on the phone.
Using Root explorer I would set permissions as:
Folders: rwxr-xr-x
Files: rw-r--r--
Thanks again for your help and quick responses. One more question if you don't mind, just to help me understand permissions. If the files have no executable permissions for any of the 3 classes it would seem as though they wouldn't be able to run. I'm sure I'm misunderstanding however.

This is right from my phone now. So all should be good. You might not even have to change it, they might be good before.
