I've looked everywhere that I can think of, or but can find what I'm looking for, and so here goes.
I was wondering if there is an apk available for the ICS Peoe app?

Thanks. I've tried installing it & it won't install, so it looks like I'm stuck with the SE Contacts app.

Don't install it, use root explorer or similar, move it to /system, change permissions and then move to apps.

OK thanks, what do permissions need to be set to? Will I be able to remove the stock Sony Contacts app as well? Roland

Using root explorer, it's x x, x, x from top down. Use your file manager to check permissions on another app and use the same.

Use jj's rom its all almost aosp looking and feel it has aosp contacts

And then?
What do I do after setting permissions & moving to /system/app? I can't find any way to open it, and it still won't install ("Parsing Error")
Thanks!
You reboot your phone and it should replace the stock app.
I followed the instructions.
1. Copy Contact.apk inside system/app
2. Changed permission to rw-r-r which is same for other apps
3. Rebooted, I see get my xperia stock contacts.
I am sure I missed something, when I try to install from system/app it does not install.

Great, but some how I can't find the default contact.apk to replace
Perhaps my mistake, using Xperia Pureness rom, possibly its moved somewhere else.
Look in the themes and apps section, I've uploaded the apps folder for situations like this.
Sent from my Phone.
Okay I found out that this rom is using PhoneBook.apk for contacts.
I tried removing PhoneBook.apk and keeping just Contacts.apk reboot
Renamed Contacts to PhoneBook reboot
But in vain.
Permissions are same.
Now restored PhoneBook.apk until I find a solution to get Contacts.apk to run.

I have tried seems to be everything to install HTC Hub. I have tried several apks and even tried apks from custom ROMs with no success. Can someone tell me if it is possible to install HTC Hub on stock 2.3 rooted ROM or is there a flashable zip that I can use?
Is HTC Hub Sense 2.1/3.0 specific?
Yes. It is for 2.1+
You can just download the zip with all the ringtones, notifications etc from here:

Thank you but this is an old version and wont install.
You should send either KING or Virus or one of the other devs a message with what you'd like. They are pretty swamped but they somehow seem to try to get back to everyone.
Instead of installing it normally, you need to place it in system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--

I would like to pull it from the synergy ROM but I am not sure what apks I need? Can you tell me what apks I need and should there be a odex file to go along with the apks that are needed.

I changed permissions and still fc.
Sorry i have a lot of questions.
Can i make ordinary apps to system app?
If possible where can i get them and move it to system/app.
And if i move a app to system app.. will they still update normally?
Yes, just move them from data/app to system/app, reboot, done.

Sounds like a problem with permissions. I just had a similar problem myself. New to rooted Android, so there may be a better fix.
I installed SuperSU so that I could get away from Superuser, and when I started it up, it recommended updating the binaries. However, updating failed even after I granted root with Superuser. I checked out permissions, and had rwx-r-rwx. After trying with several apps, each with root access, I finally managed to change permissions to rwxrwxrwx. Reupdated SuperSU, and it worked. Then reset my permissions, and done. The app that managed to change permissions was ROM Toolbox Pro, for what it's worth.
I think you'll find it much easier using inteks' SystemCleanup app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359611
If you want to odex the app, it will move and odex at the same time, you can move to /system/app or /vendor/app and back. One very nice feature is that it will even prompt you when an app you have in /system has been updated through Google Play, and you can update + odex the system apk.
Highly recommended!

I was saying there's an app, called SystemCleanup, that you can use to move whatever apps you like to system. It handles a lot of things for you (permissions, etc.)

Your phone has to be rooted and you need to have any root explorer installed.
1. I'd suggest to back up SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex from the folder /system/app and to think about a recovery plan if something goes wrong.
2. Copy my SystemUI.apk into the folder /system and change its permissions to rw-r--r-- (644).
3. Delete SystemUI.odex from /system/app and move SystemUI.apk file from the folder /system to the folder /system/app with a replacement of the existing file.
4. After a successful replacement you will probably get some errors, all you need is to restart the device.
PS if you don't know or understand anything from the above firstly read about it then act or otherwise you can damage your smartphone.
I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong.
That all makes sense, only thing I don't know how to do is change permissions for the apk. How do I do that?
EDIT: using both es explorer or androzip i'm unable to move the file to the system folder. I have no idea how to get it there. Should I try a different file explorer?

If you are deodexed rty mod from here
Flash it with TWRP
Not deodexed, no idea how to.
I'm fully rooted, bootloader unlocked, cwm recovery and also safestrapped.
I managed to get it into the system folder but not into the app folder. Lucky I backed up in cwm, phone kinda needs a working system ui doesn't it!

To change the permissions you need to go to the file properties. After that just cut-paste it into the app folder. Es file explorer always works for me . However it had a strange behaviour when I tried to use 'copy to' or 'move to', so just cut-paste.
Finally got this going thanks to your patience! I had to leave the permissions to rwe and only copy/paste would work for some reason. Had to reset my wallpaper and turn data back on after reboot.
Otherwise all good, thanks!

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.

Anyway...thanks for taking the time !
or use a filemanager and find the file in the rom zip you flashed, it's in system/app/ , i think Messages.apk is the right filename. extract it and copy to /system/app and make sure you've got 644 (rw-r-r) permissions on it, which should be available in the properties for Messages.apk once you extract it. then reboot. between flashing the package again or doing this, you're covered.
I´m looking inside the rom zip file...trying to figure out wich one of them is the smsapp.
The idea is to extract it and the insert it in the rom with root explorer !
EDIT: HEHE...rynfrnk...same thought !

exactly what you want to do! it's Message.apk and you'll want to make sure you didn't delete HtcMessageProvider.apk as well.. extract those out and copy to your phone's storage under /system/app and 644 the files so their perms are set and then reboot, you should be golden.
