I need the files for the default kindle fire launcher so I can help port it for other devices and if you don't have it how do I obtain it
Do your research. There is already a thread regarding the KF Laucher port in the dev section. There is no need to open yet another thread.

Ok this is the Apk from the stock kindle firmware
If you get the files you need, how long would it take a certified hacker such as yourself to complete such a port?
probably going to need a lot more then just the apk. could probably just download one of the stock Roms on the forums and extract the zip to get all the files you may need. It would be nice to port over a few more stock apps into other Android versions. I personally have spent more than a few hours trying to get the stock email and contacts app working on CM7 and is not as easy as I thought it would be. I also suck so I'm sure that has something to do with it.
The APKs are encrypted. You cannot just go into it, pull out code, and easily port it over unless you decompile them first.
It's just garbled junk when you extract it.
The OP has no idea how to do this, and it's already something someone else is currently trying to do and even they're having a few issues since it's pretty much just images and fancy shader plugins that make up the entire thing. Not even the bookshelves themselves are images either.

question?
How am I able to extract Roms and then push files from the extracted Rom to my device? Just curious as I do this all the time. Nothing major, did this with things like the bootanimation.zip from cm9 and a few apks from zips of Roms for my phone. Most would not install if I just put on sd partition and hit install but for example I am writing this on the stock keyboard I took from the prerooted stock 6.2.2 Roms zip. Extracted the zip to my desktop, used that qadb thing floating around to overwrite the file with the same name in CM7 on my Kindle and was able to use the keyboard after rebooting. Like I said just curious, do understand it's not always as easy as putting an apk in a directory and rebooting but I use files from extracted Roms all the time.

This is an educated guess, but I think it has to do a lot with whether or not an app is tied to the framework, or to the specific device ID.
Its not that hard i downloaded the email client from the kindle fire on my xperia play all what i did was go into root explorer and make a copy of the apks on my sd card

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

Thanks lviv, i'll try that and i'll let you know if it works, thanks!

BLEH.
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!
My girlfriend has downloaded an image from internet by long pressing the image and then selecting "save image" on her Wildfire S with stock Android 2.3.3.
The problem is that the phone keeps downloading this image over and over again even when it is already downloaded. It tries to download the image about every sync action for over a week already.
Before i just delete the whole history i thought maybe someone here knows the answer to this problem, so she can avoid it in the future.
Many thanks for your help!
Hi, I have similar problem, but with applications. Sometimes phone starts downloading already installed app. Even if I set all apps to manual update only.
This behavior is really killing my data plan limit!
My friend with the same phone has this problem too.
Anyone have similar problem or solution to fix it?
The same with me. Does anybody know how to fix it?
Same here. Must be something specific to the wildfire S
I've got the same issue. I guess it'll go away once I can flash a CyanogenMod or MIUI ROM
Works for me alright

It's worth completely removing the offending application and then reinstalling it. I had the download issue with 'LED Light'. Removed it and reinstalled it and problem resolved.
I now have the same issue with another appl - will try the same solutoin
It seems to happen when you do an update which is interrupted partway
We ported this rom on the Aria and had the same issue. I replaced the DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk with the ones in CM7 and it now works fine.
Can you offer this for us?

Here are the apps. You need to delete them from your current rom and replace them for these.
How do I delete them without root access? My Wildfire S is not and can not be rooted at the moment

I assumed the Wildfire S was "rootable". That's a very goo question. You can try something but I have absolutely no guaranties it is going to work because I personally never tried it. Either way, it's your call.
**Make sure you back-up your phone to the Google Server because this will wipe all the data in your phone.**
1- Run the RUU for your phone. This will extract the rom to the temp folder of your computer. For me it's under C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\. An easy way to find it is to clear that folder prior to running the RUU. This way, it should be the only thing in there.
2- Enter the folder and look for a zip file called rom.zip
3- Open the zip file using 7-zip or Winzip. DO NO EXTRACT THE FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER TO REPACKAGE AFTER. THIS WILL SCREW UP THE ROM. You really want to make any addition or subtraction from the archiving utility.
4- Extract the system.img file. Now the challenge is to find a way to edit the content of that file. I personally have no idea how to but I'm sure there must be some tools to do that.
5- Once you've managed to open the .img file, under system/app, there should be DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk. Delete those and replace them with the ones I sent in my previous post.
6- Close the .img file.
7- From 7-zip, delete the system.img file and replace it with the one you edited.
8- Close 7-zip and follow the rest of the instructions from the RUU.
Again, no idea if any of this will work because I've never been in the situation to make changes on an unrooted phone. Your biggest challenge is step 4. If you cannot get in that .img file, then I guess you'll have to wait to get root access to your phone. My guess is that it shouldn't be too long since HTC agreed to unlock the HBoot.
Good Luck!
And is it possible to change this files in a "running" ROM Image (rooted, without flashing)?

I think so. Like I said, I never tried it so it's all speculation here. How about you try to install the apk on top of the ones you currently have, i.e. without deleting them? You do have the ablility to install from Unknown Sources correct?

Yes i have. But I'm new to Android, so I want to be careful.
I replaced both in system\app folder (without installing) and after that my market doesn't work anymore.
So I had to flash my ROM cause the Backup files didn't work too.
Was a lot of work, making all new (but at least Titanium Backup works ).
Maybe somebody other knows more?

I am a bit confused here. What do you mean by you replaced in system/app without installing? Also,you said you used Titanium Backup. I thought this app only worked on rooted phone
Unfortunately, I cannot be of much help because I really have an Aria with a ported rom from Wildfire S. I personally fixed the download issue by deleting and reinstalling these apps, but in reality, I have no idea if that would work on the actual Wildfire S. Sorry that I cannot be of any help.
My phone is rooted.
I mean I changed the apk files in folder system/app with those from you (using Root Explorer). Before I deleted them I made a backup of the original ones.

Ok, so try this then. Delete the apk and don't replace them. Flash the Rom and boot the phone. Then install the apk from ur original Rom, i.e. not the ones I provided, but the ones u originally deleted.

I already flashed my Phone with original ROM and it works again, but the bug is again there.
The point is, I dont want to flash my ROM every week so I hoped there is a solution to change without flashing again.
Otherwise I will wait, my there will be a fix from HTC.
But I wanna say thank you, for your help and your patience with me!

I'm with you on the flashing. I'm not sure HTC will release a fix for this though. However, what u can do is return ur phone and get another one. It seems not everybody has this issue. I'm personally glad I could resolve it on my phone.
Good luck!
I am looking to maximize my Epic Touch...I am rooted..and would like a rom that would allow 5 icons in the dock while sticking with TW launcher...also would like to speed up if possible...not sure what I am looking for. Would just love to get the most out of root access..any help would be great!
Look in theme section for tw 4.5 that is only tw that allows 5 in dock

k...def will check that out...what I am really looking for is the TW 4.5 with CRT animations, No-Ciq..which I may already have..not sure! and anything else thats cool!
just run the touchwiz launcher over any of the roms in the development section.
i personally like starburst but viper's is very good also.
that way you get all the goodies without having to add each individual component manually. just read the orig posts for each rom check out thier features and follow the instructions very easy.
then you can even throw a theme on top to change the look to your liking just make sure it's compatible with your rom.

Thank You!! I have rooted my phones before...but I still feel very insecure when it comes to some of this stuff. Not sure exactly what to do when it comes to adding themes and where I would get the tw launcher to put back on or if it would still be on!!
Thats exactly what I want tho..is all the goodies!!
both the roms and themes are easily installable
mostly it's a matter of booting into recovery (volume up + power)
and clicking install zip from sd card.
if you use your phone to download the file you don't even need a computer for the process.
as for touchwiz backing it up can be done a couple ways
any of these would work
1> before you delete it just make a backup in recovery
2> copy the file somewhere safe using a file explorer (i use es file explorer from market is free and allows root access)
3>just re-install the rom you downloaded it'll come with the launcher.
4>the orig touchwiz is posted on the forums and could be installed the same way.
most everything you could hope for comes with a decent set of instructions just follow them and you'll have no problems

Thank you!! Appreciate it very much!!
no problem. some of this could be a little confusing at first glance but it's actually quite simple once you get used to it.
Recently a friend and I flashed Black Ice (both loving it btw!) but he noticed there was no Movie Studio (wasnt on mine either). Taking a look at the zip file for the ROM I can see the .apk file but it didnt seem to install. I was lucky enough to have a nandroid of when my phone was stock and extracted it from there but my friend didnt.
I also found that the Gummy ROM had the apk as well so I sent him the apks and he was able to install it no problem. In my searching I didnt find an easy place to find this app so I was wondering if I should post it up in the apps section here?
Not sure where to host it or if there is someone who has hosting and wants to I could send them the APK?
I run AOKP and it has it, but it seems its not in the 4/29 Gapps ZIP. Is that odd? Seems like its not a core ASOP app.
Any way you can use a free host via http://www.multiupload.nl/
Also report to the ROM dev about the app not flashing.
