I deleted my gmail by mistake. Using root explorer. I cant download it from the market. Were can I get the apk to restore.
You could download one of the ROMs in the Dev section. Take the .apk out of there and push it to /system/app.
However, I'm not 100% positive it will work because of the .odex file.
I found one that was 2.3.5.2 and was modded for the go launcher ex notifactions. Works but not the same as the one that was installed. Its a different look basically. Why wouldnt google have this in the market.
Here's the stock image from google. You can pull it from there.
I take it you have the VZW GN : https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8.tgz

You should try pushing it with ADB.
Code:
adb push Gmail.apk /system/app

i suck with adb. what do i need to do?
1) Put the .apk in the same folder as adb.exe (located in Android SDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools on my computer. Yours could be different.)
2) Open the command window directed at that folder. (Hold shift and right click then from the drop down window click "open command window here")
3) Then enter
Code:
adb push Gmail.apk /system/app
4) Then
Code:
adb reboot
I've attached the Gmail.apk
it says im a read only file system and will not push it.
The file you sent me is working now. All I did was install the apk file like any other apk using root explorer. Thanks alot for all the help.
Yeah I forgot you had to be rooted.
Glad it worked for you.
Iam rooted. Thats what is werid. Only way I can use root explorer is if im rooted.

Could someone please give me the best way to install boot animations on my Evo,I've seen nice ones that I would love to install on my phone,and yes.. my phone is already fully Rooted.. Thanks

There are a couple of ways to accomplish this. Some are already set up as a flashable zip you can flash in recovery. You can search through the Themes and Apps sections for others, but I use this way:
Be sure to have the Android SDK installed on your computer.
Download, and place the bootanimation.zip file in the TOOLS folder of the SDK.
Then the following ADB CODE:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource
adb reboot
You're all set!
If there is no corresponding mp3 file, no need for the 3rd command line

wouldn't that location be different depending on if it's a sense or aosp rom?

That I am not sure of, as I have always used sense based ROMS for the 4gees.
I know that Pushboot has a separate batch file for CM6, so I am fairly sure that there is a different dir.
Root Explorer works well for me when ADB is not available.
Just download, rename appropriately, and move to /system/customize/resource (or wherever your ROM stores these things).

That's what I did way back when. I ran a search in astro for bootanimation.zip first (to find the old one that I was replacing), because I didn't know where to move it to back then.

EDIT: Can I use terminal emulator to do this?

I am guessing that you are using this method:

You cannot pull the file using TE.
Have you already modified your keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml file?
If so, then you need to use ADB to pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ on your evo, and open with whatever zip prog you like
and replaced the one in /res/layout/ folder of the framework-res.apk.
When done, close up the apk, and use adb to push back to the /system/framework/ on your evo.
BOOM! DONE!

NP.
Just an FYI - With the new SDK for Android 2.3, ADB is now located in the /platform-tools folder.
It used to be in the /tools folder so whenever you see code that has you navigate to your tools folder to utilize ADB, use /platform-tools instead
Have fun!

Couple questions
1. is there a walk though on how to install ADK for windows 7 64 bit home? The only reason why I ask is in doing some searching I have found that alot of people are having trouble with it.
2. If Im only using android 2.2 then I still use tools/ right?
You will still use the platform-tools location even for 2.2 from now on with the latest sdk. I think just google set up adb win7 and you should be able to find it. Im just on my phone here.

I sure do!
connect you phone with debugging on. open up you cmd, cd to you rsdk tools folder, use command adb
pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk.
once you have done this the com.htc.resources.apk will be in you tools folder. Make 2 copys of this to a place that you can work with it. Leave one of these alone. take your other one and you open this with 7zip DONT UNZIP THIS ONLY OPEN. navagate to res\drawable-hdpi inside you will find many png file find the png that is what you have on your status bar and replace it with the one you are wanting making sure they are named the same. once you have all your files replaced close it up. Take your modded com.htc.resources.apk and place it in your sdk tools folder. With your phone connected open you cmd cd back to your sdk tools folder and use the commands
adb remount
adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
after you have issued the last comand let it set your phone will reboot its self and you should have your handy work

Are there certain png files I am looking for once I get the file open or will that just stick out at me?
Easiest way I found is look for the ones you see on you're phone
No ADB knowledge needed. Just follow instructions.
1. Download mini-adb Here
2. Extract that and put it on your desktop.
3. Download original image file Here
4. Extract the image file using winrar, and put the extracted file onto your desktop.
5. Go into the extracted image file you extracted in step 4, and navigate to
Desktop\ota_odex_V1.1\system\app and find swype.apk.
6. Take the swype.apk, copy it, and paste it into your mini-adb folder you extracted in step 2. Put it here: Desktop\EZ-MiniADB\MiniADB. The folder should also have RunMe.bat and adb.exe, and also the newly pasted swype.apk
7. Go back into the extracted image file you extracted in step 4, and navigate to Desktop\ota_odex_V1.1\system\lib and find libSwypeCore.so
8. Copy and paste that libSwypeCore.so into the same folder you pasted the Swype.apk
9. Go download HTC sync and install it.
10. Plug your phone into the laptop and make sure debugging mode is on.
9. Now go to your mini-adb folder on your desktop and double click RunMe.bat
10. When the black command prompt window pops up, type the following:
adb remount [PRESS ENTER]
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib/ [PRESS ENTER]
adb push swype.apk /system/app/ [PRESS ENTER]
11. Unplug your phone, and you are done! You can set the option of using swype in your settings!
+1 Thanks if you got Swype Working
ADB KNOWLEDGE
Now that you used ADB to push the files, you can also use ADB to push other things to other places. Just make sure whatever you want to push is in the same folder as your RunMe.Bat....
or you could use the root explorer app and extract the files, move the files and install the apk from there... much easier and you dont have to use ADB

Quite frankly I never came across with a guide with your method. If you think your way is better, go make a guide for it. All the guides I came across didn't work for me except for this one, so that is why I made a guide.
I also found this .apk called Swype Restore in the Cyanogen forums.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...over-your-swype-after-installing-cyanogenmod/
Does the tutorial mentioned in OP require me to have this Cyanogen mod installed ? .. I just got a Desire Z about a week or two ago and I'm just running the default stuff and would like to just install Swype into that directly if possible ..
Or just sign up for the beta and install it...

If you take the effort to do it this way, you can always reinstall swype in like 3 seconds, beceause the apk and the lib file is already in ur mini adb folder.
Was just wondering if there is a way to replace the framework with just using root without a custom recovery for the stock Rom?
On my s3 I couldn't do it with just root don't know if that would work on this or if I might have missed something.

All you need is to be rooted, it does not matter if you have custom recovery or not.
You can install any apk's since you do not need to go into recovery to install apks.
When I tried with root only before on a different phone I used root explorer to replace.
But when I went to paste it in the folder the phone locked up and rebooted.
Was that not the right way to do it?
Maybe using adb terminal would be better and not cause it to lock and reboot when I paste over the existing framework-res.apk.
Being in the system directory causes some issue with being that is also a constant used file.

The framework-res.apk should be installed like any other app
unless the OP of wherever you got it from gives instructions
to "copy" it to the /system/app folder.
Why not do it the default normal way? just double click on it
when you are in root explorer and it should install like any
other app. If it gives an error, then you can copy it.
If you "copy" it you have to fix permissions and you have to
change the attributes of the /system/app folder so it's "read and write".
NOTE: if there is an existing framework-res-apk in /system/app
delete it with root explorer before doing any of the above.
Framework-Res.apk must reside in system directory. /system/framework to be exact.
Easiest way to do it without locking up is with adb.
You were right OP that it locks up because it's consistently being used. When I make my mods and such to the framework, this is how I quickly get it to the device.
adb remount (if the kernel supports it in other words, anything but stock)
Turn phone screen on
Adb shell stop (your phone should now have a black screen. This command stops all running threads except the one for adb)
Adb push framework-Res.apk /system/framework
Adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-Res.apk
Adb shell start
You should now see the boot animation then the prompt "android is upgrading"
If you do not have adb remount option (it returns with permission denied)
Copy new framework Res apk to root of internal sd card.
Adb shell stop
Adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
Adb shell cp /sdcard/framework-Res.apk /system/framework/framework-Res.apk
Adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-Res.apk
Adb shell start
Just a pointer, disregard my capitalization. Only capitalize when needed.
This method should get everything copied successfully. Any issues just post back!

Oh thank you very much.

Not sure if this is really relevant but...
When I had the samsung vibrant, I used root explorer to make a copy of my framework-res.apk. I extracted the entire thing, found my battery icon files, replaced them with different images given the same name, then repacked the file. Then I copied it back to the original folder to replace the original apk and my phone immediately shut off and rebooted. When it came back I had my new battery icon working just as I had hoped. I was rooted running stock.
Wait... Are you saying that I can simply copy the framework-res.apk from SlimKat and use it on a Google Play Edition ROM?
I'm going to try it!
