Hey I'm currently running the CyanogenMod-6.0.0-Slide-RC1 on my mytouch slide and was making attempts trying to install some stock apk files. From another thread (which I shall not mention just so the thread stays open) I was able to download the stock apk/odex files for the faves and friends widgets and the mt3gs swype (in my opinion the best working/looking version of swype out there that I've tried at least...).
The apk/odex files are saved onto my sdcard, in my downloads folder. I'm not sure if I'd actually need to rewrite some code or something to get the stock stuff to run on CM6. Any light anyone could shed on the subject for me would be GREATLY appreciated!
First, most of the HTC widgets will only run on a rom with sense, which CM6 is not. Second, I don't believe CM6 is an odexed rom (I haven't used it, so someone correct me if i'm wrong), so you can not use the apk/odex files from the stock build. Third, this post would be for Q&A not development.

Okay, well as you can tell, I'm obviously a noob when it comes to programming as well as this forum..so thanks for the heads up.
And thanks for the info about HTC widgets only running on sense, that really helped out a bunch.
If you want to add or remove system apps try this:
1 Get 7zip
2 open CM6 with 7zip
3 Navigate to /system/app folder with 7zip
4 Add or remove apk's you want,thats it you are done
Odex files are not required for 90% of apps in CM6
Hope this helps,i have made a barebones(minimal) rom-its posted on here,all you need to do is add your own apk's to it.Or just make your own rom,but adding google apps to a rom requires adding few more files to /lib and /xlib folders,if you new to android try my barebones rom it will save you few headaches adding google apps.
Hey

Could you point me in the right direction for the stock swype apk?
Thanks lviv, i'll try that and i'll let you know if it works, thanks!
And panda, I found the yhread somewhere in this development area..i'll look for it again and post a link?
On second thought, maybe i'll just pm it to you.

BLEH.
I had trouble running the command line .zip version of 7-zip. I've extracted the files from the zip and try to run the program but it open and closes right back up. I've tried reinstalling and what not but it still doesn't work...I'm running Vista 32 bit if that helps at all.
Thanks again!
Oh, and here's the link to the stock stuff for the MT3GS, enjoy! (I do not take credit for any of the work put into the linked thread, I'm just passing along some great stuff!!!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729529&highlight=stock+apk
EDIT: I'm dumb and figured out how to use the 7-zip program. Super stoked...I hope my mods work.
Bleh, I tried putting the stock myfaves, friends, and skype .apk and .odex files into the apps folder and made my own custom rom...installed everything fine and then I looked through my apps and widgets to see if I could use it aaaaaand. They're nowhere to be found. Great. =/
So again i'm stuck without the slightest idea what to do next. Thanks in advance for the help!
Hi,
I have the Htc Desire android 2.1 with launcher pro. I loved it until recently it is showing that Launcher Pro has expired & it won't allow me to do anything. I restarted the phone, took out the battery but nothing seems to work. I am basically locked out because I trusted this product. Please help me out here, I would appreciate it. Again, htc Desire 2.1,launcher pro free version saying expired & opening up the browser only. I can't do anything else & I can't reboot as I would lose my contacts & data.
I tried looking at the solutions provided over the internet but nothing suits my situation. A lot of those solutions work for android 2.2 but I have 2.1 which I cannot update right now. Please help me people.
Thanks in advance. My phone is bricked until one of you guys can tell me a solution.
First of all that is not a brick. Second can you get in to settings? If yes, got to application management go to launcherpro and clear the defaults hit the home button and select the Sense launcher or download 'ClearDefaultHome' and clear the defaults. If that does not work you can do a factory reset but you will lose all your data.
And last where did you get that version of launcher pro? From the market?
Same problem here - but for the HTC Wildfire...
I'm having exactly the same problem - My version of Launcher pro was downloaded from the Android Market and has worked fine until this morning when it expired.
My phone will not let me access my home screen or any of my applications. When I press 'Home' it just takes me to my browser which contains an error message stating 'You do not have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionall, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request'.
As I cannot access my home screen, I am unable to access my settings in order to manage my applications and uninstall Launcher Pro... Starting to panic now!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Thanks x
Not bricked.
Erm, your phone is not bricked.
Well the way i see it,
1) you could email the maker of launcher pro and explain your situation, though I think its more of a user error
2) Do what TheGhost1233 said, try to go into your settings, and select clear default on launcher pro app. Use htc sense again.
3) factory reset everything and set up everything once again
4) root and flash a new rom (Its more fun )
edit* For people who can't access their settings, try downloading another app that allows you to change settings.
If a factory reset is a to big of a step you could also try to remover launcherpro (in recovery) via ADB.
Thanks for your replies! As ghost1233 and friedkimchi suggest, I am unable to go into my settings or do absolute anything with the phone. I have the exact same problem as described by the other person in this thread of not being able to anything but just go to the browser which I cannot use because wifi is not enabled and cannot be because I can't access anything.
I bought the launcher pro from the android market and it was a free version which I have been using for months now. I seriously want to avoid the factory reset thing until I can because I do not want to lose the data. If I have to then I will but just trying to see if I can avoid it somehow. Nothing seems to be working now.
Yes The Ghost1233, factory reset is a big step because I would lose all my data and contacts. But then, what is ADB and I thought recovery meant factory reset.

Thanks, this seems helpful and points us in the direction where everyone is suggesting us to go to i.e. install ADB and uninstall Launcher pro in recovery mode. There is this video provided in this link which tells how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
Is this what you guys think is the last resort we have here for this problem and if I install ADB, would that be make my phone rooted?
Thanks for all your help and replies!
No it won't root your phone but you will run in to the problem that your phone probably does not have USB debugging enabled.
But i suggest you follow the linked thread (the launcherpro forums) for further help.
I do not obviously want to run into any kind of problems. What do you suggest then. This is not something that I am choosing, I did not find any other options. Please suggest what would be my options given my situation. I am not a nerd so I do not know if I will be able to do all this installation thing properly or not. This was kind of a relief that this would not root my phone. I don't know why I am afraid of it but I really like the handset and I don't want it to be screwed because of anything.
Thanks
a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)

Thanks, I wish I could use the browser to use the internet but the wifi is disabled and I cannot reach into my settings to enable it.
You used free version of launcherpro, right?

Yes, that's right. It was a free version that I have downloaded from the android market.
idk if some of you are still having the same problem but if you are, i got this from another forum and it seemed to work for them:
Hold down the 'home' key in order to start your native task manager.
You should see the Settings icon, probably in the bottom right, of your tasks.
If you don't see Settings, double-tap your Home key in order to open Voice Dialing. When it opens, say 'Open Settings.'
Once you're in Settings, go to Applications, and remove LauncherPro.
Hope this helps.

if that doesn't work you, and could open the browser type this in:
(it should download adw launcher)
bubiloop.com/download/org.adw.launcher
ps. my cousin had this problem and search for a solution and found it, just thought i would share since. xda always helps me out
Hey, I tried doing all this except for the download thing but it does not work. I cannot download anything because wifi is disabled and there is no way I can enable it. If I could have had a back up of my data I would have probably tried the hard reset.
I really appreciate all you folks to try and help me out. I am still trying.

the download worked for my cousin.
when she held the home button it opens the most recent apps. and she had the browser there. she opened up the broswer and typed that in. and it worked now she has adw launcher.
I've disabled lots of apps I won't use - great feature, but I want to re-enable the stock browser to use it's download video feature.
Out of the whole list it's the only one that hasn't got a highlighted, 'pressable' enable button??
I tried uninstalling the Firefox Beta thinking it might ask what browser I wanted to use but no go.
Anybody got any idea please?

i had this too. but i had to do factory reset anyway, so that solved the problem. but otherwise i couldn't find a solution of how to re-enable stock browser
I couldn't even disable the stock browser so can't help there, but I could in 1.28
Ah... it's Eddy Elevate Didn't get an answer over there on the new help section so thought I'd risk it on here!
I think I'll just stick with Firefox, I really don't want to do a factory reset just after I've got everything just as I want it. I couldn't be bothered with another restore
Unless anyone else has an answer....
There must be a way of doing it, perhaps some sort of adb command?
Dear All,
I recently discovered the atrocious 'security feature' Google is forcing upon it's Nexus users that disallows any downloading of certain compressed file types if they are sent to you via Email.
For those that don't know... send yourself a ZIP file (for instance) as an email attachment and your Nexus device will NOT let you download it once you receive the email within either the 'Email' or 'Gmail' app (other third party apps work fine).
I have searched high and low for a solution to this issue but it seems a fix hasn't been implemented even by the CyanogenMod community.
The closest I came to a fix is the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/help/opeing-zip-files-email-t1377475/page3
I have tried the solution suggested in the above thread which involves decompiling Email.apk, modifying some code, recompiling and implementing the new apk but I am now struggling.
I have decompliled the systems email.apk using apk tool... found the correct lines of code for my version of android ( http://grepcode.com/file/repository...Utilities.0UNACCEPTABLE_ATTACHMENT_EXTENSIONS ) and modified the file in question accordingly.
It is here where it all goes wrong... I cannot for the life of me figure what I am doing wrong when trying to implement the new Email.apk.
I copy it into system/apps using root explorer and reboot (after removing the old apk)... nothing. Email app has in fact disappeared.
Could anyone shed some light on this please?
I know there are work arounds such as using webmail but that's no good to me... I am extremely surprised that even at this stage of Android development we still have this kind of restriction so would appreciate all thoughts on how to get this going.
Maybe someone out there has some more information about the issue that I haven't been able to find?
PLEASE HELP!
UPDATE:
Managed to get my modified email.apk loaded but the amendments have not been successful.
Does anyone know any other parts of the source code I should be looking at?

Can't help you with the source code just wanted to say that I am able to download zip files with the newest version of the Gmail app (v 4.9) just fine. Sent a zip to my yahoo account and tried to use the Email app and keep getting "Couldn't download. Touch to retry." I thought they had fixed both but apparently not.
My Samung SII Galaxy Epic 4G uses Gallery version 1.0.19 for photo viewing but seems to have been partially corrupted and will not show Albums. If I try to use any functions from the Gallery main screen, it goes to a black screen and locks up the phone. However, holding the power button does bring up the power options and I can restart. All other phone functions and apps work fine.
I think if an APK file is available, and I reinstall the app, it should overwrite or reinstall the corrupted file/s.
I did search the net and find an APK on Aptoide but am not sure how safe it is to use that open source OR LEGAL?
Any help on this?

check your PM
Ok, so to answer some things for you from the PM. You should be able to just install the apk and go about your business. You should not have any problems unless the orignal apk is corrupted. The 2 files you downloaded from @erikalin should be sufficent enough to get your gallery back. Keep her files handy as they are every file that comes with the phone. Another option is to install Google+. It will install a photo app for you, then you don't need to be rooted. My suggestion is to root. So many things you can do, even on TW which is what your on. Custom ROM's are the best thing to happen since sliced bread. @qbking77 has a website with everything also. You don't have to do anything except what the video tells you to do and you will be rooted with no loss of files from the internal storage. @rwilco12 has a website with stock stuff as well as the same files to completely root your phone on any modem for Sprint/Versizon/AT&T. I hope this help you and anyone else who is in need of stock apks.
