Your post is a tad confusing. Are you attempting to push an HTC clock onto an AOSP or Sense Gingerbread rom? If it is the former, it's not going to work. If it is the latter, wouldn't it be easier to simply go into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then reflash the rom?

I have been driving myself crazy trying to get this to work, and after almost 6 hours of no luck, I ve finally just had to ask.
Im basically trying to remove a "feature" of a ROM and add it to another ROM, but without using metamorph. On Clays Reremix of CSDI, he has this little android guy that is in the background on the dialer. Im wanting to move that file over to the original CSDI ROM, but I just cant figure out exactly which files will need to be moved. Is that file stored in the "Phone" apk? Is it just a matter of swapping that apk with the original "phone" apk found in CSDI?
And, Im trying to add the launcher from a theme called Android Plus and move it over to CSDI. I was successful one time in moving the little android dude to the dialer screen, but I havent been successful in changing the launcher ( it always ends in a fc loop after getting past the Google setup). It seems that everytime I sign the zip and flash when Im done, that even with swapped apks, the ROM stays the same.
Is it even possible to accomplish what Im trying to do, or am I simply too much of a n00b to be able to do it?
The easiest thing to do is to push both files using adb. Take both files from Clay's rom and put them where you can find them, plug in your phone to the usb, and use the command:
adb push C://*location*/Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk
and
adb push C://*location*/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk
That will erase the original launcher and dialer and replace it with the new ones. If you don't know how to use adb, find the thread in the development section and follow that. It's not hard to do.
Or, you can use an app called system app backupper. Backup the apps you want from clays rom, and restore them on csdi.
Awesome! Thanks alot for your help! Btw, Im from Tampa myself. I ve been in Germany for 8 years now. Nice to know we still got the helpful people! j/k
???
If the dialer your talking about is before the call is connected, it's in the Contacts.apk.
thanks for your help!
Thanks RichieDaze, glad I scrolled down...
Hey I'm currently running the CyanogenMod-6.0.0-Slide-RC1 on my mytouch slide and was making attempts trying to install some stock apk files. From another thread (which I shall not mention just so the thread stays open) I was able to download the stock apk/odex files for the faves and friends widgets and the mt3gs swype (in my opinion the best working/looking version of swype out there that I've tried at least...).
The apk/odex files are saved onto my sdcard, in my downloads folder. I'm not sure if I'd actually need to rewrite some code or something to get the stock stuff to run on CM6. Any light anyone could shed on the subject for me would be GREATLY appreciated!
First, most of the HTC widgets will only run on a rom with sense, which CM6 is not. Second, I don't believe CM6 is an odexed rom (I haven't used it, so someone correct me if i'm wrong), so you can not use the apk/odex files from the stock build. Third, this post would be for Q&A not development.

Okay, well as you can tell, I'm obviously a noob when it comes to programming as well as this forum..so thanks for the heads up.
And thanks for the info about HTC widgets only running on sense, that really helped out a bunch.
If you want to add or remove system apps try this:
1 Get 7zip
2 open CM6 with 7zip
3 Navigate to /system/app folder with 7zip
4 Add or remove apk's you want,thats it you are done
Odex files are not required for 90% of apps in CM6
Hope this helps,i have made a barebones(minimal) rom-its posted on here,all you need to do is add your own apk's to it.Or just make your own rom,but adding google apps to a rom requires adding few more files to /lib and /xlib folders,if you new to android try my barebones rom it will save you few headaches adding google apps.
Hey

Could you point me in the right direction for the stock swype apk?
Thanks lviv, i'll try that and i'll let you know if it works, thanks!
And panda, I found the yhread somewhere in this development area..i'll look for it again and post a link?
On second thought, maybe i'll just pm it to you.

I had trouble running the command line .zip version of 7-zip. I've extracted the files from the zip and try to run the program but it open and closes right back up. I've tried reinstalling and what not but it still doesn't work...I'm running Vista 32 bit if that helps at all.
Thanks again!
Oh, and here's the link to the stock stuff for the MT3GS, enjoy! (I do not take credit for any of the work put into the linked thread, I'm just passing along some great stuff!!!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729529&highlight=stock+apk
EDIT: I'm dumb and figured out how to use the 7-zip program. Super stoked...I hope my mods work.
Bleh, I tried putting the stock myfaves, friends, and skype .apk and .odex files into the apps folder and made my own custom rom...installed everything fine and then I looked through my apps and widgets to see if I could use it aaaaaand. They're nowhere to be found. Great. =/
So again i'm stuck without the slightest idea what to do next. Thanks in advance for the help!
Having issues finding a email apk that works in cw3 tried the galaxy on and keeps saying unable to connect a little help please.
you might wanna be more specific. are you saying you deleted the stock email.apk n u need it back or are you looking for one of the modified email.apks? if ur looking for one of the modified apks why not post in there thread asking for cwm3 support
I have tried three diff roms with cw3 but all of them the email apk does not work i just want one that works all of the force close or will not connect
In your themes does your email apk work in cw3
After I switched roms this was happening to me (instant force close), all I did was go into Manage Applications, find the email app, and clear cache/data.
Had to set up the accounts again, but no probs since.
You don't need cwm to install an apk. I think you're trying to do this the hard way.
Hello guys....
I've accidentally backuped and removed my stock ClockPackage.apk from my i8150...
I've tried to restore by the same app, but did not working.
I've also tried to copy back the original Apk (i've it in backup folder of Rom Toolbox), tried to install...but still nothing.
The odex file it is also still there...
So, for now i've just installed an alternative clock/alarm from market, and it is working (but have Ads!), but...there is a method to have back Clock app in app drawer?
PS:
And, pls... do not say "have you a nandroid backup"?
Yes, i Have, but i just want to know if there is a method to restore the app in few steps
[SOLVED]
Ok... solved, also if i do not know exactly how
For future references...
I had already bring the apk back to system/app, where is located also the odex file.
Nothing was happened, also after restart...
Then, i tried to install the clockpackage.apk from the AOSP gingerbread, and it gave me the same error (App not installed).
But, like in a miracle, after this, app is back to the app drawer
Happy ending!
have you change the permission when you push the apk in system/app ?
just want to ask

Great thread spino1970, mostly because I made the same mistake you did, lol...
Now I really need your help... Could you kindly attach the ClockPackage.apk and the odex file in this thread so that I can use it too??? Thanks a lot man!!! I was trying to get rid of those useless widgets and made a mistake...
[Update]
I managed to get the ClockPackage.apk and the ClockPackage.odex from another device (running on 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.6) and now I get the following error while trying to install the apk:
"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package"
Does anybody know what to do?

Ok Ill quote myself and if someone may assist me in finding the answer I do believe more people than me may have had the same issue...
1.- I just went to apps settings and erased all cache on this, extra data for sense home, reboot, stated the same.
2.- I dont know if i download HTC Sense Home by APK i might be able to install it once again with an additional APK installer since the android defult is not allowing me to reinstall it (I downloaded htc sense from a post on xda).
3.-Maybe I will need to try a modified zip rom to flash htc sense from recovery...need to find that file somewhere on xda
4.-Erease perhaps Dalvik/Cahce from recovery????
Help mates please!

Why don't you just dirty flash the viper rom over your messed system? If you don't wipe anything you will not lose any of your data.
