I am finding myself currently trying different roms lately and each time I have to re install all my cabs...I was wondering if there is an app which can install multiple .cab files ? Or is there some kind of technique I am missing ?
If the above is not possible, is there a way to install a group of .cab files with the new rom installation ? (would that be the auto installer thing I have read about ?)....
If there is no such way to do this, maybe we can work together on something of the like...
please advise

i was going to ask the same question can someone help. i know that for the Android phones there a program that intalls the apk that you want.
check out sashimi. it has a auto mode to install multiple cabs, though i haven't had much success with installing to the storage card. it also has many other features.
there is also UC, i believe. I haven't tried it.
i would be very interested in to know about other alternatives, as well.
I tried the 'vip' thing but it seemed like it worked half way...I also think the one I downloaded was just someone elses which they already setup for themself and left a few of their files in because there were files for 'cingular' and another phone in there as well...
I could only find 3 links related to that vip thing I am talking about and one had the download link the others were just discussions...
Well it depends on what rom you are downloading, if you are going with NRG for example he uses XDA_UC. Basically you create a folder on your sdcard called XDA_UC, place your cabs in that folder and when booting after a fresh flash they will auto install for you. Very easy to do
sashimi. search for sashimi demo on youtube.

I was wondering if anyone else was running into the problem I'm having, and if it has been covered before and I missed it in the search box earlier I apologize. I just recently tried to upgrade to JACHero2.6 and my market app (most important) along with several others are missing. The apps are automatically installed on all my other roms, it is only with hero that I end up missing alot of apps. I have a correctly formatted SD card and I did a wipe before I installed this and tried the whole process twice. If I am forgetting to do something special prior to installation or afterwards please let me know!!

you may have gotten a bad download. try redownloading it again. do you have 3 partition (fat32 ext2/3 linux-swap) if not i suggest that for jac's 2.63 also make sure you check file extensions in recovery screen. hopefully this helps
Yes I have my card that exact format and I tried using the filesystem checker in the recovery screen it said filesystem check was complete!! I'll try doing the whole process over again but I'm not sure how that would help, and it is sad too this is the best damn hero rom i've tested to date, its fast as hell!! If it weren't for my apps not being here i wouldn't be planning on a future rom update in the near future or until some big release happens.
make sure you always check md5 sum of all your hero build download
you could of had a damaged downloaded rom and this could affect your rom.
Just tried to download a fresh copy of the rom, checked to make sure my sd card was working properly, wiped and re-flashed yet my market app and the same apps I was missing before is still missing. It should be included that apps on my ext2 were coming back like they should be just not all of them, and not a few apps that I thought should be included with the rom. Is there anything I should check that I may not have yet?
I would use Root Explorer to check if the apk files are still under system/sd/app if they aren't... well, there's no way you're going to see them again unless you re-install them. You can also look under system/sd/app_s if that's there. Other than that, if you can't find it, it's not there. (If you know the exact name of the file or at least part of the apk file name, under terminal type: find "file name" (w/o quotes ofc)
You can add wildcards (*) if you don't know the exact name of the file. If the apk file is still there... well... let's just see if its there first.
I checked using terminal, I typed "vending.apk" and tried to check the dir's you specified for the apks. If they are there I can't find them, although I am a bit limited as terminal is the only app that came loaded with which to check for files. If the apk files are indeed not there then why would the apps install on their own without a problem on any other build but hero??? I must be doing something wrong right? I am open to any suggestions at this point, even using a different rom to check for something, my goal is to have this rom flashed with my apps working soon!
heres the vending.apk from jachero 2.63 you can try and adb push it to /system/sd/app_s and see if it works.
Thanks, I'll try pushing that over but I'm still worried about the rest of the apps I'm missing. Would there be anything else I could try to make it possibly fix all the missing apps? What could be causing this problem in the first place? I did notice that my sd card has an ext2 rather than ext3 part, will that cause all of this to happen? I'm still pretty lost on this. I tried going back to another rom just to make sure my apps would still all pull up correctly, and they did so it has to be something related to this most recent build of jachero, or something
welcome to the club my friend (-;
i have the exact same problem and noone was able to help me yet.
It must have something to do with Jacs apps2sd method. i read some tweets between him and cyanogen that it might be a little 'rough'.
however - it's always the same apps that are missing, in my case it's (badly enough) launcher.apk AND rosie.apk which pretty much means that i can't solve it.
i also tried everything i could with ADB - without luck. I somehow have the feeling that theres something staying on the phone even when wiping and formatting.... I'll check this through ADB this evening.
look @ my recent posts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search_rop.php?searchid=25731882
for previous moaning from myself ( (-; ) and discussion with others in the JACthread. Basically the last 15 - 20 posts are about nothing else (-;
I will also do some logcating today - i've already seen the errors through install (rosie.apk couldn't be parsed etc) but i forgot to save it (and the command promt only saves 100 lines or something)

I have used AndExplorer and put the APK's in the sys/sd/apps and it all worked fine. Very easy to do if you don't know how to push, just reboot after.

You don't need to have the myfaves app for you myfave minutes to work. You are still calling them for free regardless if you have the icon or myfave compatible phone or whatever. If you want to manage the people just log on to mytmobile.com and make the changes there.

open up your copy of the build and check in system/app_s to see if the .apks are even in the build. if pushing the vending.apk works i dont mind posting the other ones you are missing if you want to pm me or something
Just tried opening the update.zip file and verified that all the apks are there. Which makes me wonder what exactly is up. Im thinking it could be an apps2sd issue, like what was said above. I didnt have this problem with older hero roms that i can remember. TBH I could try pushing apps with adb but that wouldn't bring back my other 3rd party apps floating in ext2 limbo. So I'm out of ideas ;(

try going to the recovery console and entering upgrade_fs and that will change your ext2 to ext3 and see if wiping and flashing change anything. also if you have root explorer you can check your /system/sd folder to see if all of your third party apps are there
Just tried upgrade_fs and it gave me a "unable to allocate block" I noticed there is little if any room left on the ext2 partition. Would that cause all of this? If not would it be worth a shot to resize the partition and give it more space from my fat32 then try to upgrade wipe reload again?
If you're out of ideas, then I would attempt to resize first (but backup your fat32 first) and then see if that solves it, if not, then I would format, wipe, and update...
but are you sure those 3rd party apps are not there? Try using Root Explorer to determine if the 3rd Party Apps are there, if they are, just pull them to your sdcard and try installing them again with ASTRO or something like that.
Hello all,
I am trying to make an application that will detect what actual hardware a user is using and then go out to google and download the official update for the device extract the google apps and install on the device. Right now I was wondering if someone could point me to an ota link for the MT3G and G1 for T-Mobile just for a starting purpose. I already found away to get hardware id and match so I am good there. Any help would be really appreciated.
I don't have them handy but I recommend you contact @wesgarner on here or Twitter and if I recall @Haykuro has them too. If @wesgarner doesn't hook you up right away let me know and I will look them up.

Hi TheArtiszan,
I can tell you that the "OTA" update links change and are (of course) specific to the carrier in question. So for G1 and MT3G, we're talking T-Mobile, in which case I can inform you that the links and locations of the OTA updates rotate and change. By any specific pattern ? That eludes me completely and I would suggest it could/would be hard to track.
Also (and possibly even more challenging to what you are trying to accomplish), the OTA updates typically provide "patch sets" instead of the full blown system image you seek to extract "pure" files.
I'm sure not the answer you wanted, but I hope it helps.
~enom~
yeh I am starting with just T-Mobile ones first since they are my carrier and go from there. even a basic one would be good. I already have an app that will extract files from a file downloaded from my site (minus progress bar still working on that part lol) and extracts files so i have a good start I think. Just stinks that is not in C# would be done already.
Didnt get a response yet from them for thefiles. got app semi working from a rom on a private server any one know about google hosted packages

I think you are taking the hard way to accomplish your goal. Farmatito has already developed a backup script that backs up the necessary files from your phone <HERE>. And redmdc already has a script that will take a backup file and insert the files into an update.zip file <HERE>. There is no need to go out to the providers to get these files. We all already have them.
i have installed latest version on c0kie home tab with CHT .
every thing is working perfect , but i dont know how to change the appearance of that i mean themes can someone help please that how to change the look of mobile thanks alot ................
Well your in the right place.......
Look through this section for the theme you want to install and follow the instructions in the thread........
If its a particular theme your having a problem with then whoever made it will usually be more than happy to help you sort the problem.
Most themes will be provided as cab files which you should place on your device and installed (by clicking on them) from there.
Always install themes and mods to your device memory and not your sd card.

I don't know what you are looking for, but there are lot of skins here present (in cab files)
Just download the cab's, place the cab file to your sd, navigate with your device to your map on your SD where you have store your cab files, press on the cab to install, and select internal memory as installation path. follow by a soft reset, and all will works fine.
Perhaps if you could let us know what you have tried to install and how you did it then we can figure out why its not working.
ohh yeah just to close

hi i have Omega Rom nd then i have installed Co0kie HomeTab latest with CHT latest
nd then now im trying to install .cab themes but the problem is just clock and some options changes but main affect is same like lock screen isnt change and background is not changed whats the prob thanks in advance
nd one more thing when i install .cab file its not asking me that where to save it in sd card or where its installing automatically as u said install it in phone memory but its not possible becuase its installing auto i dont know where
ok first of all the wallpaper you l will need to change by yourself,
go to the cht menu and select set wallpaper.
make sure you have the cht lockscreen enabled by installing cht editor and enabling it using that.
if the cab is automatically installing then thats because the creator has set it to install to device so don't worry.
some themes come in separate cabs for clocks and other things so maybe you could post the cabs here and ill have a look at what they are meant to be changing.
try asking in the theme thread for help because if its an issue with the theme then someone else has probably had the problem before.
!!!ATTENTION!!!
Hi Ninjablade,
BE CAREFUL...
Before you enable CHT lockscreen... BE SURE you DO NOT have a PIN CODE enabled to unlock your phone....becuase you could be forced to do a Hard Reset.
I recomend you that you read very carefuly the CoOkie Home Tab thread to have clear how it works.
Then, as our friends said, you must ask for help in the thread of the theme you would like to install for specific instructions.
Good luck
Hello all,
I have a7272 Chinese phone and I accidentally deleted Google Contacts. Since I cannot reinstall it, I have to flash a new ROM.
Although the members here are brilliant, and I could find a lot of information here, I've been sitting a day and a half trying to solve my problem.
I managed to install CWMR by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1825722.html- worked perfect.
I tried to flash this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25575846&postcount=88 (I also need Hebrew in my phone), but I get error 16008 in SP Flash Tool, something about the partitions size.
Where can I find a suitable ROM for my phone?
I'm really frustrated :crying:.
Can someone help me please?
Wait isn't it just and android phone? How come you just don't find the APK file for Google Contacts?
Anyways with some research it seems that the partition tables are different in your phone or the recovery image isn't the right size. In the comments of the post Leonid says to do this "pressing the ::: (Format) * Auto Format Nand Flash -> Format whole flash except Bootloader and NVRAM Bin Region => OK
information is from here
http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/mt65x3-flashing-tutorial.html
and if that doesn't work go here http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html
Hope it helps, but try to find the APK File first.

It's not just contacts.apk, but maybe ContactsSynch and so. I still haven't found a proper way to reinstall this app, nor to flash my phone.
I saw that remark of Leonid, but I'm afraid that forcing this flash will do more harm than it is now. I didn't find any approval of this method anywhere.
MTK_Rom_Studio, for some odd reason, generating the scatter file with MT6516 in it's name, while my phone is 6573. This is strange.

I gave up on the flashing idea. I said to myself I'll try to replace the missing apk's. Jhpianist, I saw that solution somewhere else already, and it somehow got to me that I can find the missing system apk's in one of the cooked ROMs I downloaded here.
Anyway, now I can sync my contacts and I'm able to dial or getting into my contacts, only through a third party app I had to install. Once I click on the original Contacts or Dial, I get the error "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly". No matter what I did, clearing the app cash, restore to default... nothing helped.
The guy who posted the solution, for reinstalling Contats.apk, said that one need to install the app once it's in system/app folder, in addition to changing its attributes. But I got a massage that the application wasn't installed once I tried.
How can I get rid of the stupid error? I feel I'm really close...
Thanks everyone :good:
I just bought a Samsung tab 3v then I successfully rooted it using this: ( www 4shared com/get/4sFqkNODba/ ) but after I did that I could no longer use the camera (error then force close) so I'm asking if anyone could help me with that please? I did few research they said it's something about the kernel so anyone could provide me with one for my phone?
Someone please help me with this? At least provide me with an already rooted rom.

one small tip for future reference.
you should figure out how to fix your phone and have the tools and files on hand before making any modifications.
personally, i never do anything to my phone before thoroughly learning how to fix it, and if i cant find a way, then i dont mod it.
i see all the time on here, people frantic because they broke their phone and dont have a clue how to fix it.
in some cases there is no way to fix it because the files are not available, its really important to know that before you break it.

Didn't you actually 'think' that I already searched for that on Google? Please try to 'think' that if you don't do mistakes you will never learn so yeah not breaking your phone doesn't mean you're smart OR intelligent.

i never implied that you or anyone else wasnt "smart or intelligent"
i have broken my phones many times. the difference between me and a lot of users i see posting here is, i think about what would happen if i do something and it breaks the phone, before i actually do it. then i go and find out how to restore stock, and gather the files and tools first. then i actually restore stock, just so im sure i know how to do it first.
i see and help countless users here on xda, and frequently see people run to flash things they think they have to have right away. frequently that is followed by post pleading for help, because they failed to understand the journey, and chose to jump right to the finish line.
so yes, i agree, not breaking your phone doesnt make you smart or intelligent. knowing how to fix it, and helping others to fix theirs for many years, at minimum should gain those of us who help others a little respect, because we dont get paid to, nor have any obligation to, help anyone.

How come? Posting a Google link is actually helping? Then next time someone asks who's that guy, you tell him Google it. I did come here for a reason, which is finding a developer who can make a prerooted rom for me since it doesn't exist anywhere in the Web.
Anyway I found a solution I will post it here in case someone needed it:
1- Flash the tablet with stock rom (the one of your SM-T116bu) skip to 2 if you already have the stock rom and you only want to root the tablet.
2- Get a file explorer (ES explorer or root explorer).
3- Browse to system/lib and copy the whole lib folder and put it somewhere you can access it later.
4- Flash your tablet using the prerooted SM-T116nu rom (link is above).
5- Using the root explorer replace all files in the system/lib which has a 'camera' word in their name with the same files name from the lib folder of the stock rom, do the same with the files in system/lib/hw6- Reboot your device and the camera should work again.

1- Flash the tablet with stock rom (the one of your SM-T116bu) skip to 2 if you already have the stock rom and you only want to root the tablet.
2- Get a file explorer (ES explorer or root explorer).
3- Browse to system/lib and copy the whole lib folder and put it somewhere you can access it later.
4- Flash your tablet using the prerooted SM-T116nu rom (link is above).
5- Using the root explorer replace all files in the system/lib which has a 'camera' word in their name with the same files name from the lib folder of the stock rom, do the same with the files in system/lib/hw6- Reboot your device and the camera should work again.

Thanks, but your method soft bricks (black screen, can't operate the phone at all after booting) the phone until I flash the rooted or the official ROM again. There's no hw6 folder either, just hw and even changing only the lib files with camera in their names will also soft brick the phone.
I found a solution!!!
Restored my phone to the latest official ROM, then flashed the tiny file from the topic below using ODIN.

Worked like a charm!

The solution was so nice that I even made a short video explaining what I did with my Samsung Galaxy Tab E SM-T116BU from Brazil!!
