ughh this is what happens when i get tooo adventurous
okay, exactly what happened,
i tried to edit the icons of some after market applications and put them onto a theme update for myself,
i got the apps off of my phone using appmanager,
one of which was hello im!
well that hello im app install unsuccessfully, only shows up in atrackdog and the applications list under settings, and refuses to be uninstalled, i even tried to download the real hello im! again over it but because it refuses to uninstall i get an error!
what have i done?
cd /data/app (or /system/sd/app if you've got apps on sdcard)
rm com.corruptapp.apk (probably com.helloim.apk)
no such file or directory
according to astro it reads com.multiplefacets.aol but that didnt work either
does anyonee know?
i really really dont want to start over and reset my phone because of this
backup your apps, and wipe your phone, then just install the one's that work, sincce you tried the easy solutions that seems to be the most likely to work now
or you can just use fschk in linux os....
sadly im runnin vista
okay i tried this
cd /system/app
rm HelloIM!.apk
and it actually found it, because that is where it is
but refused to delete it saying it is a read-only file system
YESSS I WINNNN!
MWAHAHAHAHA
i used the same technique that is used to manually delete the stock sounds and by doing so i was able to remount the system as read/write and delete that sucker!

Awesome. Glad you got it without wiping.
I had teeter working fine on the stock rom. Now im running fresh 1.1 and teeter is gone. I was able to extract the teeter.apk from an old nandroid backup image. I cannot get this apk to install on my phone. I have tried using adb and tried using the installer via ES file explorer.
Is teeter just not supported on this rom or am I missing something?
try using flipz pre-kitchen to install teeter
Brilliant. Thanks for pointing that out. You solved the next couple of problems I was going to run into.
Hey, not sure if this really belongs here, or in General, but since its semi-hacking the system, I'll post here first.
It seems, so far, that Touchwiz isn't nearly as deeply integrated as Sense is, and that at least some of Samsung's Modified Apps can just be backed-up, deleted, and replaced with the stock apps from Android 2.1 (using apps ripped from CM5.0.8 for Nexus 1 for my attempts.)
So, I thought I'd start a list of stock Android 2.1 apps that people have made work on the vibrant. I know a lot of people are waiting for CM or other custom roms and alternate recovery images, but in the mean time, lets start customizing!
I have confirmed the following to work, but only after the original touchwiz apps are deleted from /system/app, then the stock apps are installed via the standard installer to /data/app and cp over to /system/app then reboot
Music.apk
DeskClock.apk
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
GenieWidget.apk
Mms.apk (NEW! added 7/21/2010)
Another pleasant surprise, is that I now have the default Calendar, music, and news & weather widgets on my vibrant!
Again, adb push didn't work for anything since I can't remount with r/w access yet, but a su adb shell allowed me to busybox cp them to /sytem/app once they were installed.
I've tried the same method with the CM5.0.8 LiveWallpapers with no success, so maybe someone else has some suggestions?
My next step is to test out bringing the original phone.apk and contacts.apk/contactsprovider.apk over
7/21/2010
Got the default messaging app from CM 5.0.8 brought over, still having tons of trouble with the default dialer and contacts/contacts provider, samsung has buried their signature for these deep in android somewhere, even outside of /data/system/packages.xml so any attempt to install the CM versions even after removing the Touchwiz apps fail.
cheers everyone!
This was copied from the vibrant section just thought you guys should know. Also the member that wrote it was s0niqu3
Thanks. I've missed my music and News & Weather widgets for the last day or so. Really hoping CM6 gets ported over to the Captivate soon. I'd imagine it probably won't until they have a final 6.0
can you post GenieWidget.apk?
nvm, found it
What method should be used to copy from /data/app to /system/app?
Thanks.
Yup, I love geniewidget weather and news from my Nexus One. So simple, best small weather and news widget out there. grab it over at 4shared .....
Has anyone been able to get the stock 2.1 Calendar and Calendar Service Provider to work?
I uninstalled the TouchWiz versions of both (using Titanium Backup), uninstalled both from "Settings-Manage Applications", rebooted, installed stock Calendar and Calendar Service Provider apk's to the /data/app internal storage (I've already done the side-loading apps mod).
This seems to work fine except for syncing with Google. The calendar sync fails every time which I assume has to do with a Calendar Service Provider install problem. The Calendar still works locally but isn't nearly as useful without properly working Google sync.
Does anyone have any hints for getting this to work or have had success themselves with the Captivate (I know people have got it working with the Vibrant, but their suggestions haven't worked out as of yet).
Oh, and to make matter worse, the TouchWiz Calendar and TouchWiz Calender Service provider both fail when I try to reinstall them.
Is there a list of the names of the TouchWiz apps that need to be removed? Most are obvious but I'm not 100% sure what to remove.
EDIT: I have gotten music, mms, calendar, calendar provider, geniewidget and deskclock all installed correctly on my Captivate.
Just trying to figure out the correct procedure... to install (for example) the Android calendar, should the following steps be performed:
- Extract calendar.apk and calendarprovider.apk from one of Cyanogen's ROMs
- Copy both apk files to sd card and install via the built-in installer
- use busybox to cp each app from /data/app to /system/app
- reboot and enjoy?
Thanks,
Does anyone have a way of uploading the stock browser.apk from the JH2 build? I uninstalled it by mistake, trying to install the stock browser from CM 5.0.8, thinking there was a difference.
When I still had my Dream a few weeks ago, I had CM6, and I couldn't stand the ADWLauncher they put on it, so I replaced it with the stock Launcher2.apk. First thing I did when I got my Captivate and rooted it was I replaced the TWLauncher apk with the stock eclair Launcher2.apk. It was totally baller
Can you post links for these stock 2.1 apps? I would like to try them, but have no way of getting them.

I must know where to acquire this Launcher2.apk you speak of.
Edit: If any of you would like the default Nexus One Launcher2.apk, with the 3D app drawer, confirmed working 100% on my Captivate, here it is.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/01/22/install-launcher-apk-from-android-2-1-onto-2-0-1-2/
Sideload it onto your phone first, and try it, I'm not replacing TWLauncher with it just yet, but it seems like it'll happen eventually.

I'm curious about this as well. I've followed the instructions but when I try to install the Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk via Astro or App Installer I get "Application not installed".
I've removed all remnants of TWCalendar and TWCalendarProvider. I've rebooted after every step. I've pushed the APK's to the sdcard. But still cannot install the stock 2.1 Calendar.
Any suggestions?

You also need to uninstall calendar related stuff from Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications (ie... com.android.calendar and com.android.calendar.provider). Reboot and install the stock calendar apps.

Does anyone know if the stock calendar will work with Exchange? I assume the sync componenent still works and the data is in the internal db - so the stock calendar should display it and phone number and url links should work.
Hopefully someone has tried this.

I just installed the stock Calendar app and don't see an option to sync with Exchange Calendar. Without that I maybe restoring from backup.

I used the apk's from cyanogenmod . com
CyanogenMod Forum> Downloads> Stable Mod> Nexus One
Nexus One update-cm-5.0.8-N1-signed.zip
Also, the trick to getting the stock installed.
I used Titanium backup to uninstall Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk, reboot, then go to application management and delete com.android.calendar and com.android.calendar.provider... reboot, and then I copied the apks from sd to system/app with terminal Emulator.
Is there a noob guide for this? Step by step?

Removed apps are placed on your sdcard in the AW10/removed directory.
To Reinstall
connect your phone to your computer
choose charge only when prompted on your phone
open a command prompt, cd into the android-sdk/tools directory and run
Code:
adb remount
adb push /sdcard/AW10/removed/nameofapp.apk /system/app
INSTALL:
DOWNLOAD
Alternate DOWNLOAD mirror
place .zip file on sd card
reboot into recovery mode
nandroid backup
wipe
wipe dalvik cache
install AW10.zip file
live wallpapers are optional, to install them flash lwp.zip via recovery separately from the rom.
known issues:
issue: if you flash the lwp.zip and the rom together at the same time, it can cause boot loops.
fix: install the rom let it boot once, reboot then install the lwp.zip.
issue: updating of google maps in market fails
fix: uninstall old version first by going into Settings/Applications/Manage applications uninstall maps then re-download from market.
NOTE: Live wallpapers only work when using an alternate launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro from the market.

I updated some things and added some screen shots.
Wow, and I thought I was the only person with Appalachian Wireless to Root, you know I had a terrible time rooting. Just about every guide I could find was for Sprint only. I wish I had found you about 2 months ago. I had to upgrade to the Stock 2.1, before I was able to root. Did you have as hard of a time getting your Hero rooted as I did on Appalachian Wireless? Just curious.

no i waited until 2.1 was released and rooted, i didn't want to take the chance of messing up my carrier settings with the sprint RUU, and not being able to restore them, i was tempted though very tempted.
Could you please host this somewhere else??? I cant get it to download from mediafire..
can't download it ,can u give another link ty

please be patient with me I'm working on this, should be fixed in a little while.
OK because all my files on mediafire got wiped
and i was going to release this newer version in a couple days anyway, i decided to go ahead and post it tonight.
the only thing missing that i wanted to include in this version is some custom mods i made for it.
i decided to just add them to the original post as metamorph addons instead of including them with the rom, that way you can pick and choose which ones you want instead of me I'll try to have them up soon.
Very nice codejunkie. You've got a little more accomplished with this rom than what I got done with it. My rom was pretty much bare stock. Nothing removed. I was able to get it de-odexed, but when I started looking into changing the rosie, that was when things started becoming unstable.

Awesome man kudos to you...Thank you so much been hitting all the others since someone talked me through a root back in early summer and forgot how nice sense was. How do we add themes for it?
I installed Virtuous ROM... and they took out Teeter (not sure why...)
Anyone know how to get it back?
Much appreciated.

Try just installing it regularly, if that doesn't work, then put in /system/app, and set the correct permissions.
