my bad i have to replace the default rosie but the rosie.apk can't install as a normal app so i thought maybe there is another way. searched a little and saw that a lot of people do it with adb push but i can't have it coz my pc can't install drivers..the only way is to unpack a rom and replace it or can i do it afterwards?
Are you rooted / s-off ?
yes all of that!!usually i use android flasher to push hoot recovery stuff like this..but an .apk i don't know...
Then simply replace rosie.apk in system
/app with root explorer and rw mount

Ok well I modded 2 apps, by using adb push and pull and it works fine, the modded widgets both comes up just like how it should with my design added to it.
But whenever i restart my phone the 2 apps just disappears and i haven't got a clue why, they doesn't come up in my widget menu or in the app launcher and i'm having to download them from the market and install them again
When i go to Root Explorer and go to the folder where I pushed it too it says it's still there. I've pushed the app to where it should be /data/app where all the other downloaded apps are stored.
Can anyone help?
Yeah i can help. Root explorer and any other app that lets you edit system files is useless. The only time we have write access to system on a Desire is from a custom recovery. If you flash one of these using Unrevoked then boot to recovery and push files they will stay.

Oh right, well that's just bloody **** ain't it.
Well how do I make flashable zip files then?
Is there a simple and easy way of doing it?
Thanks for the help by the way.
Hi All,
I was wondering if I could put out a request for some APKs. I would like to have live wallpapers on Bonsai and have tried putting livewallpaper.apk and the picker into my Epic but I don't have Root Explorer and I can't seem to change the permissions on those files. Right now all of the APKs I found have Read Yes Write Yes and the other one No. All of the APKs in my app directory have Read Yes Write No and other one No. Could someone post those APKs with permissions set like that? I don't know if that is my exact problem or if it is worth it to buy RE for only that purpose.
TIA,
DD
I believe its been mentioned before that ES File Explorer brings most of the Root Explorer functionality for free. I could be wrong though since ive never tried it myself. Worth a shot though if its just a permissions issue.

U can also use sdx stock app removal app, just put the apk in the adx folder on the SD card and go Into the app then to manage backups and got restore

Thanks. I have tried everything. I could not change the permissions using sdx or ES File manager. All I could do with those programs was access the system directories. Unless I am doing something wrong, I will either need to get Root Explorer and change the permissions or get altered livewallpaper apks.
I think the frankenstine rom thread has a flashable zip for live wallpapers

OK. I think I may be confusing some people.
I would like to have Live Wallpapers in Bonsai since it's been removed. I did some research and found that you need to install the livewallpaper apks into the system/app directory. I did that using ES File Manager and rebooted. It didn't work. I did some more research and a few people had the same issue. The solution was to make sure the permissions in the livewallpaper apks was exactly the same as the permissions as the other apks in the apps directory. The apks in the directory all have Read Yes, Write No and Hidden No. All of the livewallpaper apks I found had permissions set up as Read Yes, Write Yes and Hidden No. I figure if I change the Write from Yes to No, it might work. I'm not 100% positive which is why I don't know if it's worth it to buy Root Explorer just to experiment. I'm hoping someone can provide me with the livewallpaper and livewallpaperspicker apks with altered permissions that have those settings.
Estewa_619, I will try that ROM. Thanks!
Tried the Frankenstein ROM livewallpaper apks and it still didn't work. The permissions are still set up as Read Yes, Write Yes and Hidden No.

This is very easy to solve. Go to midnight rom and download it to computer. Open up the midnight extras folder and you will find lots of zip files in there that are all flashable in CWM. Just extract the folder, then copy the live wallpaper zips you want onto your sd card, then flash in CWM.
Alternatively, what I normally do is download the rom you want to flash (Bonsai). Open it up on your pc. Navigate to system/apps. Paste the livewallper apks into that directory. Then flash normally. This will include any files you want in the system/app folder.

7zip (windows) is what u want to use 2 open the zip but DO NOT EXTRACT it!!! Well in 7zip paste the apks u want into system/apps. Then close 7zip. Move the rom 2 ur sdcard and flash as u would normaly. U can also replace the boot/shutdown animation and a few other parts of the rom that you can add or subtract stuff from. I hope this help as not to sound offensive but u seem a bit newbish and 7zip isa great tool for viewing zip files w/o extracting them took me a good deal of time 2 find this handy tool, hope this helps ya out...

If any of u have the Android sdk installed, this is a 10 second push using adb - fwiw

I tried all of the cut and pasting techniques. None of them worked. I came across this online:
Code:
adb push LiveWallpapersPicker.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
Code:
su
remount rw
cat /sdcard/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk > /system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
exit
exit
I went into the dos shell and sure enough it worked!
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Here are the .zips from the midNIGHT ROM extras folder... Flash one of these, should work.
But the adb method works just as well... Maybe even faster.
Moved to Q&A.
Cant find sim toolkit in new Oxygen after wipe and update to 2.1.2
was this removed?
how can i get this back if this is the case? can i unzip older zip file of the rom and find the .apk there and push it with adb?
Is this app so important for you? Maybe you could after alternatives in market.
i can live without it.
I dont use any of the programs featured in the simcard, but i need the toolkit to be able to use my simcard as security tool to log onto my internet bank (so i dont need the code chip issude by the bank)
its really easy and fast.
but i found the stk.apk in earlier versions of Oxygen so i will try to push this in my system folder
edit: and it worked! found the apk in Oxygen 2.0.1.

If you are s-off, you can use an explorer with root-option, mount r/w, go to /system/apps and copy the apk there.
But make nandroid-backup before, just in case.

Use rootexplorer or a similar file manager to place the .apk in the correct folder - probably system/app. Make sure the permissions are set to rw-r--r--. Reboot.
I think I should use Yaffs Explorer as its free.
Root Explorer is not free right?
Can anyone tell me what is the "i-pocket detection"?
in pocket detection is a proximity sensor that will detect that the phone is in pocket and then turn off the display and lock the phone. It works if the phone is put on the vertical position inside the phone. Hence it uses the gravity sensor and the proximity sensors to do that job.
But I am unable to install it in CM 7.1.0.
Does any one know how to install it ?
I tried to change chmod 644 for that in the apps folder still no luck
tries the appinstaller to install, but still no luck. It says application not installed.
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.

Since you have a stock rom, yes, you definitely have to !

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.

That's perfectly fine. I was green too. In certain areas I'm still green. Just delete Mms.odex. Replace Mms.apk with sense 3.0 one. Set permissions and reboot.
