Looking for apks...radio question also

Where can I gong some apks? Looking for the market and gmail first. I am also wondering how I check my radio version to see if I have the latest? Thx

Those APKs are all packaged into the Google Apps zip file, mostly referred to as GApps. You can find the latest one (as of this writing) here
You'll need to go back into your recovery menu and manually flash the zip file. I recommend wiping the cache, re-flashing your ROM, and then flashing GApps all in the same recovery session.

Is there a way to just install certain apks from the zip or do I install all and remove the ones I don't want? If I need to remove them what do I use? Thanks again

[Q] Copy a Free app (from market) to PC?

Hi,
I'm in Japan, and the (free) "Softbank Mail!" MMS app is the only one working at the moment. Problem is, they updated the software to 1.6 which was a huge step down from 1.5 . I didn't update, so I'm safe on my OpenDesire Rom.
I want to switch to Oxygen ROM, but I realized I don't have 1.5 version of softbanks Mail App. I am forced to download the new and unimproved 1.6 from the market.
So I want to make a copy of the 1.5 from my OpenDesire build to my PC, flash Oxygen, and install the 1.5 on Oxygen. Do-able? If so, what is the proper procedure for this (if I'm allowed to ask..?)
This app is 100% free, I am not attempting to pirate anything in any way shape or form, break any copywrite agreements, just want to use the (more) reliable version on a different ROM.

Have you tried using Root Explorer or adb and copy the apk from /system/app folder?

Oh, just adb will work? I can try that. I'll have to google root explorer, not sure what that is.
The app name on the market is different than the actual app when its on my phone. So i should just do adb pull mail?

Can you extract it from your opendesire rom zip and put it into the oxygen one before flashing?

have you tried backing it up with titanium back up and then installing the new rom, then installing titanium back up again and restoring your back up, in theory that should just keep the 1.5 version

Hi Mike, to be honest I haven't a clue as to how to do this. I would have to zip my OpenDesire in it's current state, extract, install on oxygen zip, resign, install on phone?

Hi vengeance, I purchased My Backup Pro a while back, ended up not using it because I couldn't figure it out (lack of options). I'll check into that one a bit more though.

Ok, if you haven't got the rom zip as a download you can do this..
Download 'Super Manager' from the market.
Using this you can backup the mms.apk that's currently in your opendesire rom.
Once backed up, copy it to your computer.
Download the Oxygen zip to your computer.
Open (don't extract) the oxygen zip and navigate to /system/app - I use 7zip to do this.
Drag the backed up mms.apk into the open oxygen zip so the opendesire one overwrites the oxygen one.
Close the oxygen zip and transfer it to your sdcard.
Install

Ok, used the backup program. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Gmail.apk

Hello pplz. I installed CM 7 mod over the weekend. All went well except for the gapps. I downloaded the gapps from the provided link and flashed it using recovery. But gmail, market and goggle maps failed to install. And they were also not be shown in the market. I searched the net and found the apks of all. Market and maps were installed successfully and gmail gives the error of application not installed.
Then using root explorer I copy the gmail.apk to the system folder n still smell problem.
Please tell me a way to install Gmail
Apk.
Thanks

Were you using a different ROM before? And if so did you wipe before installing CM7?

yes did both the things

Check the permissions and you need to be s-off if using root explorer.

That is strange then. Personally, I successfully installed CM7 and then (during the same session within recovery) Google apps and had no problems whatsoever.
What kind of error message did you receive when flashing Google apps in recovery? Did you confirm that checksum of the Google appps file was correct?
And are you sure you downloaded this file:

And no some other by a mistake?

Cant find Gapps

I download CM 10 and the jb gapps for that. I flashed CM 10 fine but when i went to flash gapps they arent there. When i load up the rom i can see the gapps from the file manager but they dont show up when i navigate to the folder from recovery. Any ideas?

Make sure your recovery is up to date.
Where did you store them? If you put them in the intsd, check the 0 folder.

Did you check with file explorer if built in to your Rom and see if it is still there?
Or maybe check on the computer with mass storage.
I think it is possible that got corrupted or deleted some how.

Yeah if I use file explorer I see it. I tried downloading it again to see if that's the problem but that didn't work

Try another recovery. And make sure the gapps are zipped. Recoveries wont read it if its not zip properly

[Request] OxygenOS File Manager

Hello, Would someone be kind enough to port the OxygenOS file manager for Lineage? I found the apk on apkmirror, But won't install. Keeps saying a similar app is installed and doesn't progress.

You dont install system apps you have to place it properly in the root>system>app folder and it will show up in app drawer. I am on oos 4.1.0 but am using the email application from lineage the same way

Thank you for your reply. But I would need to be rooted right and have a compatible file explorer to move the files into the app folder? So I would need an explorer to get this explorer.

Are you sure it will work? In my case it is not in priv-app but in a mysterious reserve folder. When I tried to flash the themed version to priv-app it did not work anymore.
