So I am trying to copy past browser from frozen rom to urban metamorpisis how ever my computer won't let me does anone have any ideas on how to do this
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
If you have root you could copy it to your SD card with Root Explorer from the Market. Titanium Backup would let you back it up and restore the backup on another ROM.
Needs to be pushed to system\app with root explorer. Then reboot.

Did you hit the mount r/w button in the upper left hand corner of root explorer?

Yes I did I get to the app folder in system/app and then I clicked paste then I look to the folder and it didn't get placed

Try deleting or renaming the old file first then copy and paste the new one. Are you using Root Explorer?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

All of a sudden I kept getting force closes when trying to open up MMS app. I uninstalled the app using Titanium Backup. I am now trying to install the app again using Astro File Manager and also tried using Appinstaller. I copied the MMS.apk from the original Bonsai 4.0 zip file on my computer to my SD card.
When trying to install .apk with Astro I keep getting application not installed error.
Can someone give me a good MMS.apk I can install and also let me know if I need to install the .apk a different way.
I am running Bonsai 4.0

Do I have to use "root explorer" I used astro explorer and placed the .apk into the system/app and nothing changed. I rebooted the phone and still nothing.
Any other suggestions would greatly help.. I need my text back.
Remember to use the original name of the app
For example if the name if the app is a.apk and you rename it to b.apk it won't work

I did the same thing. Try restoring a backup of only ur mms.apk from titanium. It worked form me to stop the fc's and get my stock mms back. But I still couldn't get a the modded mms to install :-\

Have you tried just flashing one of the mms apks from the transparent collection on this forum? Not sure if you WANT transparent, but I had a similar problem to yours, and I just went with the transparent ones and it worked for me. And I got some pretty colors to boot.

What are you trying to do?
Using root explorer you can copy the apk to the system folder if necessary.

With a system level file manager like Root Explorer or ES Explorer with root explore enabled, copy the camera's apk to the system/app folder and then enable the permissions and reboot or hot restart your device. That *should* work for you, however, if you are trying to install it on an AOSP rom, i highly doubt it will work for you.

Any got a guide or know how to port keyboards? Please be as detailed as possible. Or if you know how maybe you can do it for me if you'd be so kind I'm trying to port the Motorola Photon keyboard.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Normally you can just use es file manager/root explorer, go into the system/apps, find the keyboard apk, then try to install it. Perhaps get a rom from that device and then extract the apk as well.
I've tried many times it says application not installed

Please post that apk here. And I wi make it work for you. I assume it is LatinIME.apk, right?

if you get it to work can you please tell me how you did it
Thanks
here try this
What I did was sign it. Should be able to install correctly now
Whether it works or not after its installed is another story...I did not test.
Is the photon leyboard much different than the gb keyboard? I'm curious.
Btw. after you download file, don't mess with it in anyway. That will break the signture.
Thanks ill try it and post results in a bit

On adb it says something like user shared not compatible
And tried your signed apk and nope

If you have existing copy of LatinIME.apk in system/app, you need to delete it first. The signatures are different with the unsigned and signed version i posted. Please remove the apk in system/app, then try installing via adb again.

Long pressing in a text area didn't allow you to select it? Also go into settings > language and keyboards. and look for it there, as you might have to 'enable' it.

Dont install the epst.apk just put it in system app cand set permissions to rw-r-r and then reboot and it should install it in data/app by its self. also their are many epst.apk out their so if this one doesnt work try another one.

EDIT: I apologize for not including this earlier, but I have attached dexopt-wrapper.bin to the bottom of the post. Unzip and push it to system/bin. Then give it the correct permissions which are

I haven't seen any tutorials on how to odex an apk sooooo i thought i'd throw one up on here.
Before we begin, of course, a great big thank you to strongsteve, mpcdata and Capp5050.
Well first things first make a nandroid backup in recovery. Once thats done follow these steps.
Apps needed if doing it on the phone:
1. Rom Toolbox (I have the paid version)
(You can also just download a terminal emulator)
2.Get both Root Explorer and Astro File Manager.
3.Use Root Explorer and go to either system/app or data/app (system/app is for system files{most if not ALL of these files are already odexed} data/app is where you can find the apps you've installed from the market{!!!-I'm pretty sure the launchers are in system/app-!!!})
4.Copy the app that you want to odex into a new folder on your internal sdcard named "app"(in case you mess up you don't get problems ;D)
5.I suggest you write down the name of the app so you don't have to go back and forth if you have horrible memory like me =D.
6.Open up your terminal emulator and type
dexopt-wrapper /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.apk /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.odex
7.Press enter and check that new folder you made named "app", you should see both the .apk and the .odex file.
8.Next long press the .apk file in Root Explorer and hit Open With and then select Astro File Manager. Astro should pop up with three choices, you're going to click Browse File.
9.In that file you should see "classes.dex". DELETE that file.
(NOTE: you MUST do this from within Astro because if you unzip it will break the signature and file will be usless{unless you can resign it})
10.Once done you exit Astro and head back into Root Explorer, copy the .apk and .odex files and put them back into the folder you got the original .apk from (system/app or data/app)
11.Once you put both of them in there you need to fix the permissions, simply long press on the files (one at a time ;D) and scroll down the pop-up menu to Permissions.
12.You will have three columns Read, Write and Execute along with three rows Owner, Group and Others.
Your Permissions should be (this is for both .apk and .odex)
Read Write Execute
--X----X-----------
--X----------------
--X----------------
(I've attached a picture below of what your permissions should look like)
13.Once your permissions match the above diagram hit OK and restart your phone and your app is officially ODEXED.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I'll be glad to help with as much as i can. =D
NOTE:To Everyone: If i forgot something PLEASE let me know.
: To Mods: If this shouldn't be here please move it (if unnecessary, delete it)
Alred hit yo button but just wanted to say thank you in writing.
....um one major thing...your gonna need dexopt-wrapper script in system/bin to be able to odex within the rom
Was actually just wondering about that cause my script was in the rom already. Ill look into that in a few cause I'm going back to bed XD and you're welcome Cole I hope it has clear instructions XD

You can also try odexing it from within its originl folder
Ex. dexopt-wrapper /data/app/galleries.apk /data/app/galleries.odex and then copy the apk somewhere outside the data folder and delete the classes.dex file then put it back in the data folder and set permissions.
