Hi guys,
I just updated to a custom ICS (AOKP 7.2) on my Desire HD, and it left me with no Calendar application.
I found the app inside of the ROM's .zip, but it fails the installation... It just returns "Installation failed" at Package manager...
What can I do?
Check if your ROM file was corrupt.
If it isn't, manually pull the apk and put it into the /system/app directory or where ever it should be, along with the other system applications, set permissions and reboot.

I've searched for this and no luck... I'm using Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS4 and trying to reinstall some of the removed .apks that are in the optional folder, and others that I have moved myself using Root Explorer. Some of them I could just click and they would install via the app installer with no problem. However, I'm getting an "application not installed" message for some.
I've tried installing from the folder (with success for some apk's) and also tried moving the files back to the original location system/app and installing from there. (I've also had this work in one instance). In addition, I've tried rebooting and wipes of dalvik in between attempts.
An example: I moved HTCTwitter to the sd card and the app (Peep) was gone as expected. Next I tried reinstalling to test whether or not it would work and got the dreaded "app not installed" message. After that I tried just moving file back to the original location using root explorer and a restart. The file moved to the correct location, but no sign of the app. I tried installing from within system/app and same "app not installed".
This is not isolated to this ROM for me. Had same issue with AVA Froyo. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Are the one's that you are having trouble with "System Apps"?
It seems like it's mostly the apps that came pre-installed like Peep in the example and I remember the issue with Teeter as well. I recall having an issue with twitter, when I moved it thinking it was the peep app and could not reinstall that app. However, I went to the mkt and the twitter app install with no problem.
So, yes. It seems like systems apps.
Try setting your permissions mask to match an installed app. While you're at it check ownership and chown to match.
Oh yeah I'm sure you're first uninstalling, then installing a new.

Try using adb what you need to do is place your apk in your androidsdk tools folder, open cmd, cd to your androidsdk/tools folders, and push the apk to there location wanted. Example pushing gmail would be as follows.
Code:
Adb remount
Adb push gmail.apk system/app
An reboot

Thanks. Going to give adb a try. I saw that suggestion somewhere else too. It seems like just copying to system/app places the file there, but doesn't have the same effect as adb push.
Also, I did try matching permissions when I was having issues with teeter trying to use root explorer. The strange thing is that I was able to do this a few months ago with the same apk, if I recall correctly, by just installing from Astro file mgr.
Thanks for the help guys.

Iirc the only time I ever got that message was when froyo apps2sd lost its links and I filled my phone memory with apps.
What's your memory?

I like the Motorola Music Player, its very simple and clean. I tried to install the apk, rename the .apk to .zip and install via recovery, and to copy the apk (there's a post from fritolay saying to do that) to /system/app, without success. Any ideas how to install this app?
Put the APK on to the Sd card.
Enable unknown sources in setting / applications
Use a file manager to locate the apk and run it.
it will install to the phone an then it should work.
This apk doesn't install via file manager, i have tried this before. I have seen in another post that needs to be copied to /system/app, but i haven't figured what to do next.
SOLVED! Copied the apk to /system/app and set the permission user read/write group and other read.
I'm on Fresh Evo and the video camera force closes....
So, i tried uninstalling the htccamera and installing the camera.apk from CMs rom, since that camera is much better than htccamera.
Anyway, I've tried putting the apk on the sdcard and when I click on it to install, it says "application not installed."
If I try moving the apk to the system/app folder I get an error "java.io.filenotfound/system/app/Camera.apk(permission denied)
I've tried pushing and pulling from adb, also with errors.
I'm fully rooted, is there something I'm missing? a Checkbox somewhere? I've allowed installing applications from unknown sources, so that's not it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I don't know if it will work for the camera, but when installing a system app, I use root explorer (which isn't free from the market) to mount r/w permissions in the system/app folder so that I can copy and paste the app inside that folder. Then I long press the app and click on permissions, then only check the boxes for Owner/Read, Owner/Write, Group/Read, and Other/Read. The app then installs itself when I reboot the phone.

Downloaded Root Explorer, finally was able to copy the camera.apk into the system/app folder. Success there, but...
Changed all the permissions like you said, then clicked on the apk to install it. A window opened up with an install button, clicked it, and then it came up with the message "application not installed." I rebooted and it looked like the camera installed, it showed up in the app list, but when I click it, it force closes, comes up with an error "we're sorry, camera has closed unexpectedly, com.android.camera, please try again.
Any ideas on how to get passed the force close. It's doing exactly what the htccamera would do when I tried to use the video camera.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys, I just installed VeNuM's new ROM version, but I can't install the removed apk's. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Push them to the /system/apps folder and reboot
I use root explorer to do this

That didn't work. Maybe I'm not reading it right. Could you expand for a newbie?
Which apps are you trying to install?

You need to set the permissions too... after copying the apk to system/apps long click it and go to permissions and then set too: read/owner on, Group on, others on. Then Write/owner on (turning on by clicking the corresponding box). All the other boxes will be empty. Hit OK. This will make sense when you do it... Reboot phone... You should be good to go...
VeNum ROM Question
Again, sorry for being such a Noob here, but I really like this ROM and desparately want to use it.
So, you said to extract the APKs to the "system/app" folder. I didn't see it a "system or a App" folder, or I'm not in the right place. I am viewing the files structure via Root Explorer on my phone.
Thanks for the patience and the help.
All the basic Epic Touch apks. Weather, clock, gmail, etc.
Permissions
Ok, I found the files, placed the apks where you said to, changed the permissions as instructed, but the apk still will not install.
I'm trying to install the Samsung Weather apk. Some will install, but most of the original system apks won't.
Any clue?
I backed up my stock keyboard to install the GS4 one, which I thought looked nicer, well in the process it uninstalled the stock keyboard and failed to install the GS4 one. I managed to get another keyboard app, Swiftkey, but I want to install the stock app. I got a hold of a copy but whenever I go to install it, it says "failed to install" (Same message it gave when trying to install the GS4 Keyboard). I move the app to the system/app folder, fix permissions to rw-r--r-- and then install, but it still fails, what am I doing wrong?
You don't need to install the apk.
Just paste the .apk file in /system with right permissions and reboot.
