I would like to pull the "HTC likes" app from TN Shooter ROM but I am not sure what apk and lib files I need to pull so I can install on MikG 2.56. Can someone please tell me what files I need to pull?

I don't know if that'll work right on a Sense 2.1 ROM. It's actually linked to HTC Hub from Sense 3.0+. But if you want to try it, you should only need HtcRecommends.apk. There's a widget too, but since it's a Sense 3.0 Widget, that definitely won't work on MikG.
Let us know if it works (I'm curious).
Tried but did not work. Tried changing permissions to rw-r--r-- but did not work. Is adb pushing different than copy and paste with root file browser? I did a copy and paste of the apk and odex file.

Oh, if the one you're trying to use is odexed, it won't work. You need deodexed to know if it'll work or not. adb push & copy/paste accomplish the same thing.
Mikg 2.56 is an odexed rom, do I still need deodex?
Also, if I still need deodex, do you know where I can get it from?

You can use a deodexed APK in an odexed ROM.
I can post you a deodexed HtcRecommends.apk if you'd like to try it. You should just be able to install it (shouldn't have to adb push or copy/paste anything).
I got a deodex apk from TN shooter 2.2 and still a no go. You must be right. It probably needs to be installed on 3.0. I tried everything and it wont install. Got it to show in app draw but keeps fc. Thanks for help. +1 for taking the time to help me.

I want to use the dialer from the PlurStar theme with REVOlution. How would I do that?
I pulled the dialer .apk from the theme and tried to install it but it wouldn't work. I figure I need to use adb and just pull out the old dialer and replace it with the new one. Am I correct? How would I do that? What would I need to type in adb?
Thanks.
I'm thinking that you need to include that apk into a zip file that can be flashed via recovery...
What does that involve? I'm assuming I can't just put it in a plain old zip file.
I remove and replace files in the rom zip using winrar, then flash the zip to the phone. Sometimes it works sometimes it wont, who knows maybe one day well see a Phatman rom lol.

Well kind of... If you look for the SU apk (the new one) you'll see that it was an APK but it could not be directly installed so it was converted into a zip file. I know that there is more than just compressing the file,some additional files must be put in the zip as well so the recovery manager can extract it on the phone. I'd download the zip and check what it is inside besides the apk itself. You can also ask one of the dev to make it a zip for you.
Well I just used Regaw's zipmaker to do it, and it flashed but my dialer is still the same.
WhOops wrong thread.
Like phatman said, just take the Rom, extract it, look for system/app, drop the dialer in there and zip it back up. That's what I just got done doing this weekend with calks Rom, so I could have a dialer with vibration reenabled.

Yeah I just finished putting together my zip, but I didn't do it with a ROM, I did it with the REVOlution theme. I just extracted it, dropped the dialer .apk in to it and recompressed it. Going to try flashing it in a little bit.
Didn't work. Got an error that says "can't find update script". I think it has something to do with needing to resign the zip, which I don't know how to do.

Use winrar and dont unzip the ROM, the program will add/remove files without actually unzipping, like I said, its a hit or miss, or worst case you get a boot loop.
Just use the ROM and swap the dialers. U won't have to wipe or anything to reflash. I used 7z, extracted to a folder, swapped dialers then rezipped without any problems flashing.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
i'm also interested in changing my dialer...can't we just adb push the dialer apk to /system/app/ from Recovery and have it work?

Lol same here, I only got it to work during my g1 days. After that it was a no go, not sure if its user error or my computer. Find a solution to your dialer yet?
It's on the back burner right now. I'm currently beta testing RegawMOD so I'm not going to mess with the dialer until I'm done with it. I will try swapping the apks in winrar though as soon as I am done with the beta test. Kinda getting burned out on constantly flashing all day long. I need to get some sun lol
I am trying to help a friend out here with this one. I am trying to put swype back on my buddies slide and I am running into major problems. First off, I want to say I was able to do this on my G2 without any problems.
Ok, I have the libSwypeCore.so file and the Swype.apk file. When I try to push the libswype core file I get an out of memory error. I get another error when I try to install the apk, but I just can't remember it now.... too tired.
Has anyone who has been successful with this point me in the right direction?

Are you pushing the .so file and the .apk file while the phone is in recovery? That's the only way we can do push and install stuff using adb on the slide without special overlays and whatnot, because we are still s-on. You can't modify /system while the phone is out of recovery. If you are doing this while in recovery and you're still getting an error, I don't know what to tell you. I doubt that it's actually out of memory, so maybe a more experienced person on the matter can further troubleshoot. Sorry that's all I could offer

Wow, I did not know that. Thanks for the info. When I get his phone back I will try to push while in recovery. Makes sense now.
Push the so and install the apk just like I would do with the G2 right?

This is odd. On the slide you don't need the .so file. Just the swype.apk and it works. Did they change things? I'm using the 195 nightly so I'm using froyo.
With the newer swype betas it isn't required.

I am having the same problem.
I just upgraded my old slide to cm6.1 so I can give it to my dad.
I tried what we do on the g2 (putting the swype libSwypeCore.so in /system/lib/ and then installing the apk but I get errors)
How or what do I need to do to go about restoring swype on my slide?
As mentioned, are you pushing the files when in Recovery,? If not, you have to be in Recovery to push files to anything in /system.

Yes I pushed them in recovery and i verified the lib is in /system/lib
When I try and do the adb install swype.apk I get a dex error (probably cause the swype.apk is from a odexed rom and cm6 isn't)
nevermind, I fixed it. Swype works now.

How did you end up fixing it? I'm sure others would love to know, and also, I was about to say, if it is an odexed APK it can't run without it'd .odex file, so you would have to use the ROM kitchen to de-odex the apk to use it with a deodexed rom. How did you end up fixing it anyway, if it wasn't by deodexing it?
I got the Swype_1.60.36.8214_HVGA.apk (which is the one that works on the slide in cm6.1).
I had to manually make room on /system for the libSwypeCore.so file though since /system was full (I moved Youtube.apk and a couple other non essential .apks to /data/app) then I opened the apk in 7zip, extracted the .so file, manually put it in /system/lib and THEN installed the .apk and swype worked just fine.
Anyway, it works now and my 70 year old father is happy with his first android experience (a white mytouch slide running cm6.1 @844mhz)
Well if you every have issues with it installing when you flash the rom or if you do it with adb I made a zip to do it. It's handy if you don't have computer around with adb installed (like me - damn work computer). I'll remove the actual Swype.apk so I don't get any lashings from the mods.
This might help next time you some one tries to install swype since it gets picky sometimes. Also, Swype 1.6* is HUGE (12MB), you may want to open the apk and take out a lot of the files since it's multi language and I'm sure most of us only use one, maybe two languages.

Do you think it would work with the Swype.HVGA.2.15.56.14870-English_only.apk?
Or is it just something I should try for myself?

Yeah it will work as long as the phone will accept the apk, some swype versions are not well liked by our phone. You'll need to drag and drop your swype apk into the system-app folder then install.
Just use an archive explorer like winrar or 7zip to open (without extracting) the zip. Find your swype file, then drag and drop it into the app folder (inside the system folder). You can use adb to install it but I just flash it in clockwork.

I'm thinking the reason you couldn't push the file via adb was because you never mounted the system while in clockwork recovery.

All right, now I've got a problem.
I tried flashing the zip that KCRic and I must have downloaded a bum Swype, or one that just doesn't work... But now when I start my phone, it force closes right off the bat, and from there I can't remove it by going into Manage Applications. Everything there is greyed out.(Except Move to SD card, which doesn't work anyways)
Is there some other way I can get rid of it? Maybe thru ADB... Or an easier way? Haha.

Yeah the phone is s-on, meaning /system is read only. You have to reboot into clockwork recovery, go to partitions, mount /system, then in command prompt, type adb shell, then rm /system/app/apkname.apk, whatever the name of swype is obviously replacing apkname.
I have tried seems to be everything to install HTC Hub. I have tried several apks and even tried apks from custom ROMs with no success. Can someone tell me if it is possible to install HTC Hub on stock 2.3 rooted ROM or is there a flashable zip that I can use?
Is HTC Hub Sense 2.1/3.0 specific?
Yes. It is for 2.1+

Thank you but this is an old version and wont install.
You should send either KING or Virus or one of the other devs a message with what you'd like. They are pretty swamped but they somehow seem to try to get back to everyone.
Instead of installing it normally, you need to place it in system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--

You could also use 7Zip to pull it out of the LH9 zip. It should be in system/apps/. Then just copy into system/apps/ on your phone, fix permissions (rw-, r--,r--), then reboot. Don't try to actually use the apk installer by tapping on it and choosing install.

For example, if you were to uninstall say the android keyboard that comes bundled with a rom, then you were to extract the apk, and try and just install it, it won't work. The only way i know of getting it to install is to put it into system/app and reboot. So i'm asking if there is a way to edit system apk's so that you can install them regularly.
