[Q] How to replace dialers?

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.

K, I'll try that next. TY
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

Anyone have the EVO camera file that I can flash through clockwork?

I found an old thread with it, but the download doesn't work anymore.

Rom manager, virtuous extra goodies section.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App

Tried that and didn't work. Shows everything went through good, but still incredible camera.

Should be alternate or main camera toggle. It does work.

I've tried it 3 times and can't find it anywhere after I flash it.

I don't see that you responded to my post in your other camera thread, but here's a piece of it that may be relevant:
byrong said:
What version of recovery are you using? Have you tried manually booting to recovery and flashing rather than going through RM?
I ask these questions because it's possible that you are running a new version of recovery 3.x and trying to use the old update script. If you try it manually then you'll be able to see if it is failing to update (going through RM will just reboot and you won't realize it failed).

Here's an old zip from Virtuous:
http://files.virtuousrom.com/inc/extras/virtuous-install_evo_camera.zip
If you can't successfully flash, extract the apk from the zip and use root explorer to copy it to system/apps
Then just make sure to set the permissions properly on the file and reboot - that should do it

Thanks! I'll try that.

I have it. do you want it for an EVO based rom or Incredible framework, on a ROM like SkyRaider which is 100% incredible framework the EVO camera will work.. but it makes it so you can't send MMS msg...

I'm running virtuous so I would need it for that rom.

Can I also get the 100% Incredible framework version? Thanks.

I had that problem with the latest clockwork. Do you know if that camera will work on an incredible with Gingerbread?

HELP! System ui has stopped working s3 i747

Hey guys, i tried flashing a theme which was the circular battery percentage w/15 toggles last night, via cwm and when i rebooted after flashing it took longer than usual and when it finally booted i got a pop up saying " unfortunately system ui has stopped working" how do I fix it? i didnt have any backup (yes I know im a genius), now, i was wondering, does any of you guys have the stock system ui files to flash it via cwm?

here is the h9 one

thanks, man but when i try and install it it tells me that the app was not installed

you dont intall it rename your old systemui.apk to systemui.bak and place the new one in the same spot it should be system/app then reboot your phone and it should work or you can reflash your rom with out wipe and that will fix it too

Use an app called root explorer or ef file explorer push the systemui.apk in system/app, set the permissions and then reboot your phone.

thanks for the answers guys, sorry for being such a noob, but where can i find the systemui.apk file? in order to replace it

in the folder system/app

is there any tweak i must know of in order to replace/rename the file systemui.apk it doesn't let me do anything because it's a read only file
and does it matter if mine is a telus i747m?

what app are you using to do this

root explorer, with superuser permissions

ok when your in the folder where systemui is click mount r/w at the top of the screen then you can rename it

thanks man, you saved my life right there, now, the other question is, where did you get the systemui.apk file? and could I find it for a galaxy note i717d as well?

i pulled it from the zip in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902178
as for the note you should be able to pull it from a stock rom in its section on these forums

Thank you
Thanks so much I was finally able to get 7.1 to work with your UI file!!:laugh::good:

What are the permissions to be set at? I pushed this and the stock file manager to system apps, fixed permissions via recovery, but neither work. When I use Root Explorer to check the apks they show different permissions from all the other system apps. MusicPlayer and SecNoteMyFiles show rwxrwxr-x while the other apks show rw-r-r-- I guess I need to manually change them?
EDIT - Actually what happens is they don't show in the app drawer, so I tried to install them from the system app folder, but I keep getting an error "Application not installed".

No go for me. They just don't want to work. I don't know why. I was on the stock ROM via ODIN. Everything worked. I pulled five apks from the system app folder. Three of them work, but the MusicPlayer and FileManager don't. I tried them both ways. I left the permissions as is, rebooted, and nothing. I did what you said, and still nothing. Got me. I'm running Jedi Mind Trick JB 3.

First I want to thank you, and say sorry for making you help me so much, as I'm now realizing it would have worked if I just used your version from the beginning. I've been trying to get the one I pulled from my stock ROM when I was running it. It seems my APK is not the right one. Yours worked the very first time. It's also bigger than mine by about a MB. Where did you pull it from? I pulled mine directly from the system/app folder.
Also since mine didn't work for this, or my File Manager APK, would it be possible for you to share that too? Or tell me where to get it? Thanks again.

[GUIDE] Get ANY 4.2.2 PrimoC ROM Working on Cricket

I've decided to make a solution for primoc users who are on the Cricket network and want to have working Mms on a custom ROM due to requests.
EXPERIMENT:
Nestoh has included my patch and added his own Virgin Mobile carrier text mod to it in a flashable zip. Try it and report if it works for you please!!! (Recommended to try on RhythmicRom!)
DOWNLOAD
Okay so this is quite simple.
Step 1: Download this and copy to your SD Card.
Step 2: Flash the VMtoCricket.zip in recovery
Step 3: Wipe Cache & Davlik then reboot into your ROM
Okay, now the easy part is done. Now we will change your APN settings to get your phone up and running on Cricket.
Now Follow These Steps:
-Open voice dialer
-Say Open Apn's
-Open Spint APN
-Hit Menu then Delete Sprint APN
-Hit menu then New APN
-Input the APN settings for cricket
APN Settings:
Code:
Carrier=Cricket
Apn=Cricket
Proxy=wap.mycricket.com
Port=8080
[email protected]
Password=cricket
MMSC=http://mms.mycricket.com/mycricket/mms.php
Hopefully this works for you! Fяy has verified for me it has worked.

This works fully now i finally have working mms on my rom

Just installed this, but I haven't tried to send any mms. Just wanted to add this onto it. Since it still says the carrier name is Virgin Mobile, here's a quick fix for that.
1. Download this http://www.mediafire.com/?lul47jcyj52t49c
2. Copy and paste it into your /system/framework
3. Set the permissions to -rw-r--r--
4. Reboot
Note- Make a backup before installing just in case. Because I know some people will forget to set the permissions or will set them wrong. Also, try pushing it through ADB, it's much easier.
Edit: By the way, this is for the Rhytmic Rom

ok... I just installed Rhythmic on my wife's phone... flawless! and flashed the cricket mms fix... working!! I just wanted to drop by an tell you THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No? Its the framework-res.apk its in your /system/framework folder. Do this step by step. Make a backup first tho.
1. The apk you downloaded (which is the framework-res.apk) rename it to 1framework-res.apk
2. Copy and paste it to the folder /system/framework
3. Set the permissions to -rw-r--r--
4. Delete the other framework-res.apk
5. Rename the '1framework-res.apk' to just 'framework-res.apk'
6. Reboot your phone.

Yeah things are going to force close, just close those messages and you'll get a chance to rename it. I honestly can't make my steps any simpler.
