Hi everybody,
This is a total n00b question, but I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I want to install some of the AOSP apps onto my rooted Evo. So I downloaded eclair from google and built it it. Then I copied the Gallery.apk onto my SDK card and tried to install it. It goes through the motions, even as far as telling me which permissions that the app needs to run (Storage, etc).
Then it says, "Application not installed." with a done button.
I probably simply can't do what I'm trying to do, but if you can point in the right direction, I'd love to have a hand. I can't find log files or anything that would be useful.

I'm not sure about AOSP apps, but here's what you do to add HTC apps back into roms:
1. Get something like Root Explorer so you can easily write to /system/
2. Copy your apk to /system/app/
3. Change it's permissions to match those of other apk's in the folder
4. Reboot phone
(And this should have gone in Q&A, but it's all good )
K I'm also confused about this but the HTC app part. If I wanted the stock clock widget can I make them work with launcher pro?
Also kind of confused about what exactly asop is in laments terms
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I posted something along these lines in Q&A. Of course the problem with Q&A is there aren't nearly as many people around, but I did eventually get somewhat of an answer.
I was trying to take the apks from bugless beast and install the AOSP dialer, calendar, calculator, browser, and messaging apps into another ROM. I love bugless beast, but ironically it has some pretty bad bugs, hopefully we will see some updates.
At any rate, I eventually got some assistance on installing from adb, you may want to just look at the thread, but the short explination is to run
Code:
adb remount
and then you can do an adb shell command to get onto the phone (or use "adb shell <on-phone command>") to run
Code:
install <apk name> /system/app
This will be a very easy way to bugger things up, as I have found out from trying to get the contacts/dialer app running. I would love to hear what all I need to do to get the contacts/dialer/phone portion running as it is in bugless beast.

Thanks for this. It didn't error or anything, but it didn't work either. The app isn't available.

So you did the remount, and then either ran adb shell install <apk> /system/app or ran "adb shell" which entered the phone, and then tried "install <apk> /system/app ???
There were no error messages, and then did you reboot?
If you did all of that, what apk were you trying to install?
I really want the calendar app. I tried doing something like this to install the calendar on the emulator. It didn't work there either. It acted like it worked, but all I got was a calendar app that would launch then fail immediately.

You probably need the calendar provider apk. I'm using the apks from bugless beast, other ones may have problems I'm not having.

Yep, I did all of that. Trying to install Gallery.apk
From what I recall about install, it just copies the file with the proper permissions, it's not doing anything super fancy. I can manually verify that the apk is in the /system/app folder, so technically, 'install' worked. It's just not showing up as an app that I can use.

I have them both and put that into the same folder. Didn't seem to be good enough to make the emulator happy.
Here is a quick tutorial for installing the stock android calendar. This method works for me hope it works for you . It backups your touchwiz calendar also, i'm not sure if you can reverse this process.. Do not use the calendar clock
Better version from mcb00f
Here we go, this works:
1.) Must have root. Use root explorer or ADB to move TouchWizCalendar.apk & .odex, TouchWizCalendarProvider.apk & .odex, and InfoAlarm.apk & .odex to somewhere on your SD Card as backups. Reboot.
2.) Go into manage applications. Filter to all. Uninstall com.android.calendar.apk and com.android.provider.calendar.apk. Reboot again
3.) Copy Calendar.apk and calendarprovider.apk from this thread across to your SD card. Install both.
4.) If you want, use root explorer to move them from /data/app to /system/app but really not necessary. Reboot again, should sync by default but re-enable if you need to.

Can you test if its the same issue with stock calendar regarding setting default calendar?
In touchwiz calendar, when youre making a new appointment/task its defaulting on the builtin phone calendar memory but im using google calendar so i have to switch to google calendar setting everytime i make a new calendar task.
Thanks in advance!

it doesnt have a local calendar so everything will be uploaded to your google calendar.
You can also select another google calendar when making an appointment if you have multiple calendars
and off course there is a widget which samsung doesnt have (except daily briefing)

Think you have to reboot first. forgot 1 reboot in the tutorial i think
Still doesn't work.
I'm using firmware I9000XWJM2.
Has anyone other got it to work?
I double-checked that the deleted files are gone.
Getting this Error on Step 2:
adb install -l CalendarProvider.apk
299 KB/s (129676 bytes in 0.422s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/CalendarProvider.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
Same here with M2.
Same again with JM2, won't install the calendarprovider.apk
Here we go, this works:
1.) Must have root. Use root explorer or ADB to move TouchWizCalendar.apk & .odex, TouchWizCalendarProvider.apk & .odex, and InfoAlarm.apk & .odex to somewhere on your SD Card as backups. Reboot.
2.) Go into manage applications. Filter to all. Uninstall com.android.calendar.apk and com.android.provider.calendar.apk. Reboot again

Works like a charm!

Step 1: OK
Step 2: Cant find any com.android.calendar.apk or com.android.provider.calendar.apk in the Manage Applications list. (Filtered by all)
Rooted Samsung Galaxy-S with JM2 firmware.
Any ideas?
Maybe i can just intall the apk`s from this thread without uninstalling, and see what happens?

if you can't find them it should work with only installing the apks.

Why do manufacturers bother making ****ty variations of decent apps? Blows my mind.
Also, where do you get the vanilla versions of the apps from?

I try to port the Galaxy Tab email.apk to my i9000 international version with an exchange 2003 account, after use it for a day, it work perfectly.
PS.: I'm using Tayutama Edition v1.0.0 [I9000XXJPM] Rom + OCLF 2.2
Attached the email.apk (Change the name to email.apk)
Just put it into system/app, reboot and re-setup the email account. and it's done.
Remember backup the old email.apk before you try. And try it on your own risk.
Update : Bug : the bottom of the email list is NOT visible
Just tried it, although it doesn't install
Is there any reason it does not install?
Looked at some youtube movies to see this email app in action and I think it's a GREAT replacement for our original mail app!
No need to install. I only pit it into system/app. And it's done after reboot.

well you have very small hands
BTW what's difference with the untouched tab email app. It did run also very nicely on the Galaxy S (see Captivate forum). Did you fix the issues? Like no exchange support, problems with unsecured pop servers (port 110), problem to see the last lines of a email.
Tell me you fixed all those issues and you're absolutely my man!
I run JP6XEN on my i9000 international edition and installed this apk by renaming the original files to Email.apk.original and Email.odex.original (not renaming de odex creates a fc on software start) and moving the new apk in place.
The TAB email client looks really beautifull I hope you continue to port it a little bit further though ...
Since I use my phone for work it is really important to have a functional unified inbox/calendar for the 6 email accounts I have to manage.
Allas this version does only sync with our exchange 2003 server messages older then 2 weeks nor does it sync any subfolders not even the sent folder.
I hope I am doing something wrong or it just takes a really long time to sync
1) Is there a way to force resyncing in the software other then through the settings/accounts menu of froyo?
2) Is there a way to enable syncing more data then just a single month (is that even possible in the default mail client)?
I currently use Samsung Social Hub (the other nice unified inbox) and it keeps losing its e-mail every once in a while forcing me the retrieve the last 3 months again. Do more people have this problem?
But again I appreciate your efforts in porting this really nice mail client.
btw, how to copy to system/app
I realllyy cannot find the folder.
Sry for being a newbie at this. Tried searching the forum and google, though no succes.
Doesn't work for JP6 (with OCLF).
After change and reboot the eMail-App won't open - just the "bad vibrations".
I tried it with adb-shell.
cp /system/app/Email.apk /sdcard/backup/
and then copying the new email.apk
cp /sdcard/APK-bunch/email.apk /system/app/
Edit: Ok after deleting the odex File it works, totally skipped sargasso's post in the first time.
@Ingmar89: If your phone is rooted you can use adb to mount the system partition read-write, and move to the /system/app directory where the files exist. Place the file on the internal sd and ...
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system
cd /system/app
mv Email.apk Email.apk.original
mv Email.odex Email.odex.original
mv '/sdcard/Email (1).apk /system/app/Email.apk
sync
reboot

BTW on my phone the bottom of the email list is NOT visible so this software is not functional (for me).

Okay, app also confirmed working for me.
A little more laggy than the original app, though it's still a great replacement. It looks way better and also loads my email a lot better (they now look like they look on my pc.)
Works well on the SGS, althought it's taking a bit of time loading my hotmail emails.
Would love to see more development on this, we could implement it to further ROM releases instead of that shoddy one provided with the SGS.

"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.
His could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Any ideas?
I am rooted and have BusyBox installed​
Everything is working great for me except Talk, which won't install.
As far as the market, I have no problem installing it, but it doesn't create an icon. If I choose to open the market immediately after installing, however, it opens, and works flawlessly.
For those with the market issue, you may want to chmod the vending.apk to 6775 to correct permissions. Maybe that'll help? You'll have to do it locally with a terminal emulator though, I've had no luck getting ADB to give me root access.
The reason I mention chmod is, I had originally pushed the files out to the system/app folder manually, and set permissions, but I had no way to open the apps that way, since the fire is very picky on what it gives icon space to, unlike vanilla android.

This worked PERFECT. market works now - installed the apk by opening it from file manage on the kindle, then navigated to /data/app and fixed permissions - as to your google talk issue, I just copied talk.apk directly into /system/app, fixed permissions, and rebooted, and it showed up in ADW Launcher as installed and worked perfectly - doesnt show up in the kindle launcher tho.

Ah, makes sense. I haven't considered installing any other launchers yet.
I wonder what it is about the stock launcher that suppresses installed apps from showing up. It makes no sense to me that gmail and maps would show up as they should, but not the marketplace and talk.

I've extracted system APKs from other EL29 GB2.3.6 ROMs as well as copied APKs from my own current ROM's /system/apps folder (examples would include the calculator and camera APKs.)
I try to follow the guide @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414355Epic
Using Root Explorer I place these APK files in the /system/app folder, mounting the folder as R/W, adjusting the file permissions to (rw-r--r--), I click the file and choose install, and finally I get a progress bar followed by a message that says "Application not installed."
When I try to use ADB I get the following message:
c:\ADB>adb install camera.apk
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
2672 KB/s (1319121 bytes in 0.482s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/camera.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Can you please help me or at least teach me why some APKs install just fine and others wont.

Hmmm. I have always just put APK's on the SD card, selected them in rootexplorer and installed. When one won't install, it is usually either a conflict between the apk and the OS version OR a conflict between what I am trying to install and something already installed.
From the error message it sounds like a problem reading the internal manifest of the app .... But this is just a guess.

That would be because you are trying to "install" a system app to data. This will not work. Try this..
Code:
adb push yourapp.apk /system/app
Code:
adb reboot
enjoy.

Thanks for the response. Is there an easy way to view/edit the manifest file on the phone. I would like to skip installing the entire Android SDK/Eclipse on my PC.

I tried this as well, and I recieved the same problem when attempting to install the app via launching on phone.
Heres where it gets even stranger:
I copied /system/app/protips.apk and protips.odex to /system/
Then I used ROM toolkit to uninstall the protips program.
I rebooted the phone, mounted /system as RW and copied the apk and odex back to /system/app via Root Explorer. I tried to install this via running the apk in Root Explorer from /systme/app and get the same message about the app not being installed.
So here I am with an APK from the very ROM I'm running and I still cant resintall.

The point is for system applications, you just need to copy the .apk file to /system/app, fix permissions, and that's it. After the .apk file is placed in that folder, you do NOT need to select the .apk file and try to install it. It already is installed. Just reboot.
Got error as mentioned above
