Hello all! I rooted my EVO last month, and am running the Fresh EVO 3.5 ROM. The developer removed many of the OEM "apps" including the FM radio. (I use quotes, because things like the FM radio aren't just apps... it's part of the functionality of the phone, and without it, you're removing a capability of the phone.)
In order to get it back, I tried installing from the SD card where he stored all the removed apps, which the developer himself says wouldn't work. No surprise, it didn't work. "Application not installed"
I moved it to system/app and tried to install, whence I'm again told "Application not installed."
Downloaded the .apk (found by searching some forums), moved it into system/app and tried installing it with the same result ("Application not installed").
Tried using "AppInstaller" on the .apk, same result.
I'm frustrated that this ROM, while great in every other respect, has killed some of the functionality of my phone. If someone could help me get the FM radio back, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
Try flashing this file from your recovery the same way you installed the Fresh ROM. It will install the HTC FM Radio app in your system/app. Without a zip file like this you would normally need to use an application like Root Explorer.

P.S. Even though this is the app section its more for developing and modifying apps. In the future you should post basic questions like this in the Q&A section.
Thanks for the help and advice.
Your .zip did install the FM radio and widget files to the system/app folder, but they still will not install. I get the same message as I did before.
Also, I have Root Explorer - that's how I moved the .apk to the system/app folder in my original attempt.
I posted a tweaked apk in flipz's thread a few month's back that should install for you, by flashing from recovery. You can give it a shot as well.

here you go, just flash
I guess I am not sure what issue you are having. I am running Fresh with out FM radio installed. I was able to use root explorer to move the file to system/app, then set the permissions, and reboot and once I was back into the launcher I was able to use the HTC radio app which was not there before. After doing that I restored my backup to before having the radio app installed and tried again using the zip file I supplied, rebooted, and I was able to use the app.
^ And for some reason, I was not able to do the same. The file was in system/app, but it would not install.
Toxin715 - Worked beautifully! Thank you!
Out of curiosity, do you have anything similar for the radio widget? I get the "Application not installed" error with that, as well... it's not as big of a deal, though.

If you have moved the apk to /system/app on your phone you do not need to install it, just reboot.

If that had been the case, I would've never bothered trying to install it, because "FM Radio" would've shown up in my apps and I'd have been happy to post that the issue was resolved. After rebooting when I had moved it to system/app with Root Explorer, it was not in my apps list, so I tried to install it (to no avail). Even after flashing the .zip you posted (after which I had to reboot to get out of recovery), it was in system/app, but not in my apps list; when I clicked on it in Root Explorer, I was given the "Application not installed" error. Even after flashing the .zip that Toxin715 and JsChiSurf posted, it was in system/app, but not in my apps list - the difference here was that when I went into Root Explorer and clicked on it, it let me install it, so now that issue is resolved.
Similarly, the widget is in system/app, but I assure you that I am not able to use the widget (I was going to post screen shots, but since I'm a n00b, the forum won't let me).
Toxin715 - Yes, if you could provide insight (or a .zip) for the widget, I'd be extremely grateful.
JsChiSurf - Thank you! I now see that it's your .zip, I just happened to try it directly from what Toxin715 had posted, so I didn't realize it at the time. Out of curiosity, what made your .zip any different from the others that I've tried and had no success with?
And open question to all who are reading - why would the app not show in my apps list if it is installed in system/app? Could something have gone wrong during the install of my ROM that perhaps a re-flash might correct?
Here's what I did to get it to work (using Root Explorer):
1) Copied HTCFMRadio.apk from fresh-removed-apks folder on my SD card
2) Navigated to system/app folder and clicked on "Mount R/W" button to make folder writable.
3) Pasted HTCFMRadio.app file in the system/app folder
4) Modified the permissions to match the other apps (rw-r--r--)
5) Rebooted the phone
That worked perfectly for me. I didn't modify the permissions at first and wasn't able to view the app in my app drawer. After I modified the permissions and rebooted, the app showed up as installed and worked perfectly.
So I've been trying to get the stock Sprint FM Radio app to reinstall on my phone. I have Fresh EVO ROM, (froyo...hate that the voice doesn't workon G.B.) I've been trying to get the FM radio apk to install using ES File Explorer, and I've tried to use Android SideLoad Wonder Machine. From file explorer it simply comes back with a "application not installed" message...ASWM gives some wonky error that I googled and ultimately led me to the unsigned file direction.
I haven't tried using an .APK installer app or anything, but it appears that it might be an issue with the apk not being signed. Anyone have the stock FM radio app working or a diff/new .apk? I tried searching but any reference to "radio" in my search just brings up a ton of core radio references of which I'm NOT looking for. Anyone?
Download a stock sprint rom, then you can manually extract the apk, place on the root of your sd card, and install. I that doesn't work, you'll have to move it to /system/app, then set the permissions for it.
Well, I've got multiple versions of the .apk and they're all relatively identical. They all pose the same issue when I try to install.
When I move it to the system/app folder and give it full permissions, it still fails install. Any other ideas?

Try this:
- delete any of the fm radio apks in system app
- place the new apk in /system/app , even if it doesn't install
- from applications, if the fm radio is still showing, clear its cache and data
- boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik
- boot back up and try to install
if it doesn't install, then its the file because the rom might be odexed/de-odexed, and the file is the opposite of what your rom is. So you'll have to track down an apk of each, then try it.
I can try that, I will say I have a de-odexed version of this ROM so I'd presume any basic sense based .apk would work fine. Of course I may be oversimplifying it a bit.
I'll give your ideas a try see what I come up with, thanks!
Well now, I completely did NOT anticipate this result. So as it turns out the .apk for the stock HTCFMRadio.apk is not an installer. I went ahead and dumped the .apk into the /system/app folder then went to the app drawer and there it was. So I opened it and that was all there was to it. No install necessary...I've never experienced that type of functionality but hey, it works now. Thanks for the insight, all is now well with the world!
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.

Well if you'd read the dedicated thread for the Note 2 camera and gallery, you'd know that you can download the file from that thread and delete the camera file inside the zip before flashing, which will give you just the Note 2 gallery.

Just to add to this - you might also need to amend the permissions of the pushed files. Group and Other both need Read permissions, User needs Read and Write.

It works this way without wiping the data of the app. I wipe the cache and dalvik cache.

I tried the steps as stated but pictures still can't show up, only video shows.
i did as follow:
1. Unzip the downloaded zip file, copy the SecGallery2.apk out.
2. Using RootExplorer to Remove original SecGallery2.apk from \system\app (I couldn't find the .odex file for gallery as ROM is de-odexed)
3. copy the Note2 SecGallery2.apk to \system\app
4. set permission rw-r--r--
5. reboot to recovery, clear cache/dalvik
6. reboot and clear application data and cache
Do i missing any thing to make it work?
I am on Omega ROM v28
Thanks

My s3 is on stock Rom ICS 4.0.4 rooted in and could I still install this mod?

I think you guys don't clear the "media storage data".
Its the most important step.
Without it it's only show black/grey squares.

You'll either need to use adb or a root enabled file manager.
For file managers, I like ES File Explorer.
If you use that, you will need to tap the top left tab, to open the menu.
Then scroll down and enable Root, then tap that same root tab and enable R/W access to the file system.
Then you can access /system/
Or from a terminal, with device connected and in Recovery
Or in OS, with the system mounted, ES works here too, for mounting as R/W.
Then:
Code:
adb push Camera.apk /system/app/Camera.apk

You posted this in the m7 forum...
You'd probably get some answers and certainly more relevant responses in the HTC 10 Q&A section.
