Think I might have confused you ... no need to extract the apk, just insert it into the rom you're using. You can do that with root explorer, or even use ES File Explorer's "root option". You could also use adb to push it.
What I was referring to was, d/ling a rom and extracting it, for the files included. For that, I use 7-zip ...

From your original question, I thought you wanted the browser that comes stock with the Evo, so it's the HTC browser. Here's the aosp browser, which I prefer, by the way ...

I was trying to install this in my Evo. Moved the stock HTC browser from system>apps to my SD incase I wanted it back. Then moved the AOSP into system>apps and tried installing...will not let me install, and now I cant get either browser working. What do I need to do?
Thanks

I'm in the same predicament. I flashed the AOSP Browser.apk via a .zip that somebody created since, for seom reason, I couldn't just push it to /system/app. Then today I updated to the latest fresh (public release of that tomorrow) and my browser stopped working. I pushed the htc Browser.apk and it wont work.
Can't find that zip, also not a fan of the AOSP Browser.apk so I'm stuck.
help

Try this. Move the AOSP out of system>apps onto your SD or delete it if you dont want it anymore. Then move the HTC back into system>apps. Then reboot the phone. Then go back into system>apps and tap the HTC browser to install. Mine just all the sudden allowed me to install it, Im assuming it was because of a reboot after moving the files around.

hey man, it doesn't work.
I mean when I copy the app to my phone (HTC Desire) which is on modded ROM (which doesn't have Sense UI).
doesn't the app work because of the lack of Sense UI ?
I mean I've tried everything.
even if the app installs, then it just force-closes.
and I've tried extracting Browser app from oryginal Desire rom from Vodafone, I did extract it, but when I "installed it" on a phone through the recovery mode, the phone just didn't see the app.
even though the recovery mode said the app was installed.

Here's the stock browser from the ROM I use. Give it a go.

[APP] Working MIUI Music (apk attached)

So, there's an MIUI music apk in another recent thread.
For whatever reason I try to install and get parsing errors.
Long story short if you want an MIUI music apk that works, DL this. Install with root explorer or whatever explorer you like...

So you get parsing errors when you try to install this, why would none of us not experience the same thing?
What exactly did you change in it? You would get a parsing error if you 1: tried to install the MIUI music .apk onto a non MIUI ROM (like CM) or a version based on an older version like 2.2 or 2.1 or 2: if you tried to change some things and didn't get something right - did you port this?
Sorry, just trying to understand it all since we have a ported MIUI music apk, just wondering what's different here.

That was the entire point of the .apk. If you were running the MIUI ROM, why would you install the .apk?

The one that's a few threads down gives errors. This one doesnt. Found it elsewhere thought id share here since its a cool music player with extra options. I like using on non-miui rom.

Worked like a charm, and playing with it now.
Thanks!

Thanks. I was also getting parse errors on the other apk. This one works for me.

I downloaded, used RootExplorer to move to system/app and didn't change anything. Rebooted, works fine for me.

@ the parsing errors, make sure you are selecting the correct .apk, there is a 4kb temp file created on the sd card that is probably the reason u get parsing errors

I'm really liking this app. One question though: how does the lyric downloader work? I can't seem to make it work.

works well thanks

Google play

I lost Google play on my one v and upon checking the system apps i no longer see the odex phonesky.odex file. Can I just download any rom and grab the odex file from that rom to make it work? what permission do i set it?
any other way to fix this?
thanks
btw can anyone upload the odex file i cant seem to find any downloadable one

Are you rooted?
What rom are you running?

Just install the apk as normal app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933277
restoring an odex will not help as the play store most probably updated itself to newer version when you use it.

Thanks. I was struggling with all the apk that I downloaded and wont work with the normal package installer. What I did was copy and paste using root explorer, set proper permission then integrate it to rom using titanium backup and rebooted and i worked.

Install system apps as regular downloaded apps

I'm working on a themed aosp 4.2 keyboard. It would make my life a whole lot easier if i could just install the keyboard as a regular app, but when i try is won't work. What would you need to edit in a system app so that it will install normally without having to move it to system/app and rebooting

Well if you could explain the error....
this is SPARTAAA

For example, if you were to uninstall say the android keyboard that comes bundled with a rom, then you were to extract the apk, and try and just install it, it won't work. The only way i know of getting it to install is to put it into system/app and reboot. So i'm asking if there is a way to edit system apk's so that you can install them regularly.

Never mind I figure it out. I just had to merge the resources file from the new app into the original then resign the original

[Q] Selected launchers won't start on fresh install

Hi all,
It's been a while since I've come across a problem that Google couldn't help me with, and my search skills have not turned up any results...so I'm turning to the community again.
I recently decided to try out some Jelly Bean roms on my Desire after being a long time MildWild user. The rom that I found best suited was CyanoMod007 (JB 4.2.2 | Int2Ext+ | A2Ext+) [STOCK | CM7] [v21 | 19/05/13]. However this uses the trebuchet launcher which is a bit too slow for my liking.
I experimented with Apex launcher, essentially removing Trebuchet from the zip file and inserting Apex in its place and that worked fine.
However, I also wanted to try Nova Launcher and Smart Launcher. Following the same procedure as with Apex, I went through and reflashed my device, but in both these instances, Nova Lanucher and Smart Launcher failed to start.
I'm not sure why this is the case, as far as I could tell they should be working properly, but all I seemed to get was the popup telling me "Unfortunately, xxx Launcher, has stopped."
Could anyone shed some light on the situation?

Did you set the right permissions?

Why reflash the rom just to install a launcher?
Install the launcher of your choice normally with the apk, or if you want it to be a system app you can use a root file explorer to place it into system/app. Also change the permissions to rw-r-r.

To be honest with you I didn't realise you had to set permissions before adding a new apk. Whenever I've made my own modifications to roms I've always just swapped the apks out of the zip before sending it over to the phone to install.
I'll try to dig up a thread with some instructions.

Well, I went from an old Gingerbread rom to Jelly Bean, so I had to flash the rom. Once I got setup with jelly bean and saw it worked I thought it would be the best time to experiment with rom changes before I download all my apps and contact info etc so I've been making changes to the rom zips and installing them to see what works and what doesn't.
---Quick Edit---
After looking into the issue some more, I've managed to hack together a solution, though I'm not sure if this will cause issues down the line. It seems to be working fine at the minute.
Basically, I installed the rom with Apex, downloaded Smart Launcher and Titanium Backup, set Smart Launcher as the default launcher and removed Apex with Titanium.
While this does seem to work, I'm still trying to find some information regarding apk permissions when adding them to a zip file and why the apk wouldn't work from a fresh install, so by all means any comments on that front would be welcomed.

Any time you move an apk to /data or /system manually, you have to set rw-r-r permissions. You should just install the ROM and then use cmd or filemanager to replace Trebuchet with Apex or whatever launcher you want. Simply refrain from adding apks to pre-install zip files.
Why uninstall with Titanium when you can simply delete from /system/app? I think Titanium causes problems on some JB roms...

I initially tried to go to /system/app using Estrong File Manager before opting for Titanium as I wasn't sure if it would cause problems. However, when searching with the file manager I didn't find any apk's. Could this have been because I did it while the system was mounted i.e. phone turned on?
Apologies for what may seem like basic questions / understanding, but as you can see from my join date I've only had an android device from September of last year and the truth is after following the Noob proof everything guide for the HTC Desire and installing my MildWild gingerbread rom I never experimented with anything until now.

That means that whatever File manager you're using doesn't have root capabilities. Try root browser https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree&hl=en and you'll be able to access anything in / .
For some managers there is an option to mount system r/w. Try that too.

Yup, you were right, the issue was I wasn't running the file manage with root mounted. Once I enabled the mount system r/w setting I had access to the apks.
So with that sorted I'm guessing that for future tests the best way of making edits to roms would be to install the rom, then using the file manager (un)install apks as I choose?

Well yeah. It takes more time than editing zips, but you won't usually get problems unless you delete an important apk.
