[Q] Trying to take messaging apk and htc keyboard from virtuous fusion rom

I tried to take the messaging apk and the htc.ime apks from the virtuous fusion rom because i want to use them on Insertcoin_vision rom running 2.1 sense+ 3.0.Is there anyway that i can do this ??

Put the rom.zip on you computer and unzip it. Then look in system/app for the apk's.
Now there is a good chance that these apk's won't actually work on the insertcoin rom. For a lot of sense apps to work they are dependent an the sense framework and this varys from version to version.
Easiest way to then install is adb if you know who to use adb, cool. If not I'm not going to explain here and you will need to follow the instructions bellow
you won't be able to install like a normal app you would have to place then in the /system/app folder and make sure the permissions were set correctly. The best way to do this is using root explorer or something similar. Place the apk on your sd card and copy them to the folder. If your using root explorer once you have copied them th the correct folder press and hold on the app to bring up them menu and select permissions. The permissions need to be the same as the other apps in the /system/app folder. You will need to move the original apk before copy the new ones in make sure you put these on your sdcard.
Then reboot, but be prepared for the apps not to work.

Did you ever extract the keyboard from Virtuous Fusion? I am interested in it as well.

I have never used Virtuous ROMs but I am curious, what is special about the keyboard? Is it not just the stock HTC keyboard?

[Solved] stock Jellybean calendar widget on custom ROM not showing vibrant color

Hello. I'm currently running a cm10 kang ROM but every gaaps package I've flashed has the old ICS calendar widget with the washed out colors. I was wondering if anyone knew of a gaaps package that had the vibrant JB widget or just a .apk I can install.
EDIT Ok, I got it working. I took the .apk from a stock Jellybean ROM and copied into system.
So,
1. download the .apk here. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4b...DZEUmgydHRPUTQ
2. Use root explorer or something that's able to access /system and navigate to system/app and go to CalendarGoogle.apk and move it to your desktop or your SD card. (personally I deleted it since if something went wrong I could just reflash the gaaps package to fix it.)
3. Using root explorer copy the .apk I posted to /system/app and make sure you change permissions. (I personally have them all set to read, write, and execute)
3.5 If you try to click on the app no that it's copied it will not install, just wanted to let you know that this seems normal.
4. Reboot
5. Once your phone has booted back up try adding the widget and it SHOULD be the more vivid colored widget!

It works fine!
However, I got duplicated calendar apps and entries in sync settings. Deleting original Calendar.apk and GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk solved the problem.

Take whatever ROM.zip that has the apk you want and extract it. Then navigate to system/app and find the apk you want. Then you can drop it on the the sdcard of you device and with root explorer put the apk into system/app and then set the permissions to rw-r-r. Hope this helps you out dude.

If they are from similar versions of android or sense, then you can just pull the apk from the ROM zip file, place it in the system location in the root directory (using root explorer or other file manager) and replace the old one. Then reboot.

How To: Restore 4.1 Camera on 4.2 ROM

I'm sure there is a very small group of you who are like I am, I want to be up to date, but the 4.2 camera is killing me with it's lag, something that not even the 4.0 camera had. So I figured I'd go ahead and try the reverse of the mod of getting the 4.2 camera on 4.1.
1. Use a file explorer with root access (I use ES File Manager) and navigate to the System/Apps folder.
2. Rename GalleryGoogle.apk so the system does not see it. (I renamed it to GalleryGoogle.apk2)
3. Copy the GalleryGoogle.apk on here and paste it into the System/Apps folder.
4. Once copied, set permissions on the app.
5. Reboot
Once the phone comes back up, you should have a full functional 4.1 camera running, the lock screen still works, it just boots to the new (or old?) camera instead. I hope this helps in case it was bugging others like it was me, I plan on keeping the old camera until they work those bugs out.
