MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST OR YOU ARE A NOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Download rootbrowser lite from the market. Now if you have the cm zip on your phone, navigate to it, open it, go to system, then go to app and find gallery2.apk. Click on it and rootbrowser will give you 2 options, click extract. This will extract just the apk to /storage/sdcard/0/extracted (its a folder now). Great now to add it to whatever rom you are running right now:
If you are trying to install the camera app on any touchwiz based rom it will fail, don't try, it will fail. If you are installing it on another AOSP follow the following directions:
1. With rootbrowser go to /system/app in the root directory of your phone. Then find your gallery2.apk and copy it and paste it somewhere on your sdcard (not in the extracted folder though) where you can find it in case something goes wrong.
2. After storing your old camera apk somewhere safe, go to the extracted folder on your sdcard and copy the gallery2.apk you extracted from cm.
3. Paste the cm gallery2.apk in the system/app root folder on your phone. It should ask if you want to overwrite a file (it will be overwriting your old gallery2.apk) just hit yes.
4. Reboot and hope for the best.
5. If it doesn't work try either clearing dalvic cache, cache or fixing permissions from your recovery
6. If all else still fails it means that the cm camera simply won't work with the rom you are using. This is why you made a backup. Simply find where you put your backup apk and copy it back to system/app folder and overwrite the cm one.
Once again you should have made an nandroid backup from your recovery before doing this so worst comes to worst you can always restore to that if you screw up.
If I have helped, please slap that thanks button

Being a newbie that is learning A LOT, my most recent question is:
If I have flashed a BYOR (midnight rom) then added the apk files that I wanted, is there a way of saving my modified ROM so that if I try something else and need to flash back, I can without reloading all of the apps from the zip files?
Make a backup in CWM before wiping, then restore it later when you want to switch back. That's all you can do as far as I know.

1st download Titanium Backup and save all your files on your and window information email etc etc . u hit menu then BATCH then back up all files and data ......
CWM ... got to restore n backup then select back up and let it work ..........
now after u check out the other Rom u go back into CWM .... RESTORE UR OLD FILE .... then download TITANIUM BACKUP and restore everything or just choose what you want NOTE: YOU CAN DO TITANIUM w the ROm IF U CHOOSE TO KEEP IT
Also, you can take applications from say the midNight v5 upgrade zip(use 7zip to open the zip file) navigate to system/app folder. Copy the apks from the upgrade zip to the same folder in the BYOR zip file; same for files in system/lib.
You can repeat that step for other apps you like from the midNight Extras folder.
If you ever have to flash fresh; then you'll have a rom zip pre-built with your apps and you wont have to flash each zip.
Absolutely utilize the backup in CWM .. that can save you butt ... before any theme, kernel or ROM install. That way if you hit a boot loop or freeze .. simply boot to recovery and restore your phone back to before that flash attempt.
Thanks everyone. When I get a chance I may try something different
I would download and install 7zip. make a backup copy of your midnight 5.0 byor zip incase you mess something up but not likely. right click on one of the rom zips and 7zip open archive. in that archive you opened there should be an sd card folder. open that and extract the midnight extras folder to your desktop (drag it to the desktop). open that archive up again and navigate to system/app. go into your midnight extras folder and copy all the apk's you want on your phone and paste them in the system/app folder. After this any time you flash this zip you will have all the apps you put in the system/apps folder and wont have to flash multiple zips for apps. this can be done for themes, boot animations, shutdown animations, fonts, pretty much anything you can flash as long as you know where to put them. ps always backup before flashing
I thought I read somewhere installing zip file with CWM, it needed the apk and another file (believe it was meta file)
Is this the case, or is the zip files with meta also for something bigger than just apks?
Well the title says it all... I downloaded and updated the non-paginated rosie addon/theme from synergy updater. I want to go back to how it was previously. I'm not sure how I can do that. Any help would be great.
just reflash the rom without wiping anything (ok, a wipe of dalvik and cache never hurts). you'll lose all system mods you have done so far, but it's the only way besides restoring a nandroid or manually replacing the files (which i assume you don't want/know how to do)
I'm sure I can do that, what files do I need to replace. I saw Rosie_scroll in astro.

lol rosie_scroll is the cache for the rosie on the sdcard that won't help. to replace files, open the zip you flashed, and find out what files it changed (ignore the META-INF folder btw, that's where the signatures and update scripts are). then just open the rom zip, and find the same files. now adb push, push using root explorer, or build a flashable zip of those files.
Hi,
I need to install HTC's Locations app on any custom ROM (ie: MyOneV or CM9/CM10)
So any1 can help me with this ?
(i tried it though, by moving these files (from MyOneV5.0FX Removed apks) htclocation.apk,locationpicker.apk,locatiooninstaller.apk in System/app folder bt it didn't worked)
When you move those files to system app manually, you need to put right permission rw-r--r-- then reboot.
Or the simplest way is, open the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip with 7-zip (not extract), delete all apks that you don't need and leave those location files in zip.
Then flash the zip in recovery.
And these files will not work on a CM rom.

:good:
Thankz
I tried that too, by removing all apks from zip keeping the said three files & flash it in recovery, still it doesn't appeared in apps!
Though i'll try again may b missed something or some file..
I just tried it, it works.
Your filename looks different, attached here the files from the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip, I named it to location.zip. Flash in recovery.
It Worked: Thanx
Hi! I found a way to make Gallery to work flawlessly with Picasa sync in Smoothrom (should work in other roms)....:laugh:
I did research but this solution posted in [APP][MOD][addon.d] Stock Gallery w/ Picasa Sync by mkilc when you try to share or edit the images the app crash or it tells you that it cant use the image.
The steps:
1) Download Stock rom, I downloaded Grouper-JDQ39_4.2.2-Deodex_Rooted-02-14-13-teshxx.zip from goo.im
2) OF COURSE Download SmoothRom (5.1 in my case)
3) Extract content of stock rom to a folder
4) Open Smoothrom using 7-zip or whatever you like
5) Go to system/app and delete Gallery2.apk
6) Find in the extracted stock files system/app/GalleryGoogle.apk and rename it to Gallery2.apk
7) Copy the renamed file into the open folder in 7-zip of Smoothrom (system/app)
8) Now you can install the ROM as you would normally do: BACKUP WIPE INSTAL ZIP......
9) DONE!! Now you can edit and share Picasa images without any problems.
I know there must be a way doing this without having to wipe and install but i did this because I needed to reinstall the rom after messing up without backup.
It should be something like this: Force Aplication shutdown, delete Gallery2.apk from system/app / copy the renamed file from the stock rom / reboot in recovery / wipe dalvik cache and reboot.... CORRECT ME IF IAM WRONG, Im not an expert....
I hope you found this usefull
I just dumbly deleted those two files:
SecDownloadProvider.apk
SecDownloadProviderUI.apk
I am running LIGHTSPEED V3 ROM.
Can someone post me a how to with a link to the need files to back up the download applications? I think I have to change the permissions in that process, but I am pretty clueless...
Thanks!
You should be able to take the ROM zip file and unzip it. The files should either be in systemmapp or system/priv-app. Copy these to your phone and move them to whichever folder they were in inside the rom.zip file. Make sure the permissions are the same as the other apk files inside the folder that you moved the files into.

I just did that and found both apps thanks!
I pasted them and changed the permission to rw-r-r like the other apps in that folder.
But when I tap on the .apk files to install them, the installation fails. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Hit dunt have to tap then to install. Once they are in the correct folder and you have changed the permissions, you just reboot and they will be there.

I just rebooted and everything is fine.
Thanks!
Next time, just dirty flash the Rom again...no wipes. Fixed.
Yeah I thought about doing a dirty flash, but rather asked cause I did not want to do anything more stupid than I already did...
About dirty flashes, my understanding is that there is no worry about dirty flashing a ROM update. Is that right? For example, flashing LIGHTSPEED V4 on top of V3 without wiping anything.
Thanks guys!!!
Sometimes. Usually a dev will let us know if a clean flash is important,like after big changes. But usually if you run into issues, the first thing you'll be told is try a clean flash. But usually it's fine.
