integration of downloaded apks into rom. - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

dudes does any one know how to integrate any downloaded apks( those with a backup copy) into cm7 #177 or any other rom from the phone itself( conditioning that the rom is currently installed and running) . i know ther is an option in titanium backup latest version, but it implies only to integration of updates of system applications only. but i need to integrate downloaded/ installed app to the current rom. is there any apps available in market or some where else which can do what i need? i ask becose i know rom cooking is a hard process and that needs an update flashing. so i just want to avoid it. or can i do it with adb with a mounted system partition? can any body help me?
to moderators:- if i posted this thread in wrong section, pls move to appropriate section. as i know it is a question topic, but i put it here due to the reason that it is some thing about rom cooking/ updating.

not exactly adding into zip. but need to add into the currently installed rom, all the way from phone itself( more convenient) or from a computer.

I tried this moving of downloaded apk to system app long time back.
It has both positive and negative effects. By moving an app to system , it loads everytime the system boots making the startup slower. And by moving apps to system u don't need to reinstall those apps on hard reset.
To move a downloaded app to system just move the apk from /data/app to /system/app and change its permissions to rw-r-r. Then clear the application data and cache (also dalvik cache). Then restart the phone to check whether the app is working or not. One thing is recommended. Donot rename the apk. Most of the apk names in /data/app will be like com.xyz.abc. Eventhough most apks I tried worked with any name.
And inspite of doing all these some apps will not work when moved to system partition. Perfect examples are "x-plore" , "swype" , "operamini".

how to uninstall ADW

ok this sounds silly i know because i should be able to just uninstall it via app manager but it is not an option because the phone thinks its a system app.
i can not update either via market, or downloading the apk and using adb to install it.
i have googled and saw a few mothods but each varied and neither worked.
so if the phone considers ADW a system app, how can i get rid of it.
i was just going to delete stuff with root explorer but i get nervous doing that with things i dnt understand or fully know what they are.
anyone have any ideas ?
p.s.
adw rocks i love it i just want to update to 1.1.1 and can not.
once its uninstalled i will download it from the market so its installed properly.
first thing is, are you running another launcher? if not you need one. do you have root? im assuming so, so all you need to do is use estrongs/astro or whatever to navigate to the /system/app folder and delete it bu tonly if youre running another launcher.
that doesnt work my friend. there is more to adw than just /system/app
i did see a quick tutorial to rm /system/app/appname and also data/app/appname
so i need to do both.
the /system/app/appname is the normal method and the first thing i did. i didnt need to research that. but it still is technically install via other files and folders somerwhere else

no sign of it on my cm6 installs after removing from system/app and then a cache and dalvik wipe.
ahhh that might be the ticket there.
i am always nervous about wiping.
cache wipe is ok. i just dont do dalvik for nothing.
i need to go back and read a little about whats in dalvik.
thanks for the tip
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
hey man thanks for the wipe suggestion that was the ticket.
ya know i been using the LG Launcher the last 2 days and i like it. better app drawer grouping then adw but slower page and drawer shifting (no speed option)

90% of apps don't install successfully

All of a sudden my apps don't install... Have a ton of apps that need updating but everyone is an unsuccessful update/install... Don't understand.. Same with most new apps... I want angry birds xmas but won't install... Tried installing a kids game earlier for my daughter but couldn't... Never had any probs before... Any thoughts? Thanks guys

Maybe switching ROMs or re-flashing your current ROM will work. Give it a shot, backup your apps of course.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Are they apps that you have ever had installed? Try installing an app that you have never had installed and see if that works. If it does, then use a file explorer (I use astro), and see if there's anything in the folder titled ".android_secure" (without the quotes of course) on your sdcard. I actually had this problem before, and there was some left over app data that was interfering with the installation I guess
geez was hoping this would work but I just checked my astro application and checked android secure and all directories are empty. also this is a problem with applications that I ready have that need to be updated and brand new applications I am downloading from the market... I just get a triangle with an ! in the middle of itfor each application that did not successfully install... and this is a brand new problem haven't done anything different been running the newes t fresh for months now

What is your memory situation?
Froyo apps2sd ? A2sd ?
GO into recovery and clear cache and Dalvick cache.
Try wiping the market data this happened to me couldn't update or install anything and it worked
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Did you install your previous apps from the market or did download apk's then install them? Try Settings>Applications>Manage Clear market cache and data that might work like the other person said. Check your memory. What rom are you using? Try backing everything up then go do a factory reset and then setup up your google account that's what I did when that happened to me months back and seemed to work. Hope I helped

How do I reinstall stock apps?

I was using titanium backup to uninstall some system apps. and I accidentally uninstalled teeter. is there anyone who can help me reinstall this protected system app? I need to return the phone to my friend in a few days time.
I was coming from the point of view that I have a backup and can restore in the event of stupidity.
Today's lesson is - Don't mess with your friend's stuff
This should fix it...
-Find a Sense ROM from the Development section.
-Read the 1st post to make sure Teeter hasn't been removed.
-Download ROM to your PC.
-Open it with WinZip, WinRAR, 7zip etc
-Browse to \system\app\
-Locate Teeter.apk
-Copy to your PC and then move to phone SD card.
-Got to Market on phone and download ES File Explorer (or any app installer)
-Re-install Teeter.apk
Report back how you get on
Install failed. It says something about the app being a
system file.

Are you rooted, either perm or temp?
If you used temp root to get Titanium working then run Visionary to get temp root again and then try to install Teeter.
Yup i permrooted wth visionary. Reinstalling doesnt work.
I read in another post about directly copying the apk to /system/app/ then restarting. I am doing this now. Hope this works.

If you aren't S-OFF you can't write data to the /system partition, titanium uses an exploit to force the DHD to overwrite the app from recovery, and in that case my friend you are scr***d
Somehow i was able to write to /system/apps/ so i copied the apk and rebooted the phone. After restart i used titanium backup to restore. And teeter is back. Thanks for all the help.

hi
even i did something foolish like this lol
but i deleted the htcclockwidget.apk (i was trying to delete the htc lock apk)
i had a previous backup of it so i wrote it to system/apps and changed the permissions to rw-r--r--. however when i go to personalize/widgets i cant find the clock widget there.
ive tried reflashing another sense rom (leedroid 1.4.1) but tht hasnt helped either...
i tried flashing a theme wich had the htclockscreen.apk but tht also didnt work
i tried fixing permissions in cwn but still tht doesnt work
wat can i do to get the clock widget back??
i dont have a recent nandroid backup either
EDIT: got it working again.... .i went to manage applications, then htc sense and clear data.... all my shortcuts and mods on the homescreens went but i got the widgets working again
I need some stock apps anybody ever made a backup of their stock apps? (and is willing to share?)

[Q] Wildfire CM7 Fingerprint needed

Hi All,
Have made a bit of a rookie mistake - have changed my wildfire CM7 fingerprint for market patching, but I think this is screwing with my skyFire optimisation routine as it thinks I have a Nexus 1 now.
Needless to say I forgot to back it up first and now do not have the original values from before.
Can someone supply the contents of thier wildfire system/default.prop file so I can restore it at all?
CyanogenMod-7.0.3-buzz
Thanks
Just open The zip file with the Rom

Thanks Jonas, simple when you think really Much appreciated though.
Turns out it wasnt that screwing with skyfire anyway - I'm just not destined to be able to get iPlayer on wildfire at all. Period.
Ok. For unpatching the market I think you need system/build.prop and system/apps/vending.apk. And there is also another file which I don't remember correctly. here attaching some files of nightly 115. I think the market unpatching values should be same with stable 7.0.3
Just edit the values . but this time make a backup of your files. if anything goes wrong , mount the system via recovery and push your backed up files from adb. remember the permissions should be. rw-r-r.
And clear data and cache for market and Google services framework before and after doing this.
As as already suggested, you can have those files from your rom zip file which will be perfect if you had it.

Iconimages dissapearing and widget gone

Ive recently installed the rom InsertCoin (1.0.8 i believe it was).
I enabled Market Access that came with it and set it to force market apps to be installed on the SD-card.
I continued installing a few apps and placed them on the desktop window. But now the images of those apps disappeared from the desktop.
Could market access be the problem?
Also 1 widget disappeared from the widgetlist.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Widget apps must be on internal storage to work. Move those apps back to internal and they should work again. I'm not sure about the icons though sorry.
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
Your solution fixed the widget and the images are also back after a reboot.
What would you suggest me to do? Always install on the sd-card first and then move the app or install on the internal memory first?
However my market access app is locked now. I cant change it anymore :S
What ROM are you using? I am on CyanogenMod 7.1 so I use the simple2ext app to force apps to SD ext. If you're on stock ROM I suggest saving to SD and then just move the ones you need to internal.
PS. if I helped you please press the thanks button

Ive pressed thanks enjoy.
Anyway I got InsertCoin using HBOOT cm7r2.
I cant force apps to do that i think (only with market access)?
I'm not sure how InsertCoin works but there's a lot of a2sd+ zips out there I'm sure there's one that should work with it.
What is market access?
