Does anyone know a way to change the stock contact app in the epic to the factory android one?
Not quite sure if it will work, but it'll be worth a try...
Try downloading the Nexus 1 version of CM6, extracting it, and pulling the contacts.apk out of the /system/app/ folder.
Copy this into your /system/app/ folder on your phone and delete the built in one.
Be sure to back it up first in case it doesn't work!!!!! You can just copy it back if it doesn't.
Again, I'm not sure if it will work, since CM6 is de-odex'd...

I'm running rooted stocked 2.1...5 with this mod installed. I tried to put it in the system/app folder because there is some room in there, since I removed some apps, but it did not like it. It just kept foreclosing it.
Any idea how to put it in there or even replace the original HTC_IME?
could have something to do with it being made for the nexus one

i've made one from there, and installed it. I didn't push it to /system/app.
try doing that.
also make sure you are using the low res option.

First make sure you downloaded the "lo" version, since Hero is low-res. And unpack the ZIP. It's not flashable, it's just zipped for convenience.
And then you can just install HTC_IME_lo.apk from your file manager by clicking it. There's no need to manually push it into /system/app. (It's registered differently from the default HTC_IME, so it can be installed like any normal application.) If you removed Clicker.apk while you were removing junk from /system/app, you'll need to reinstall that as well.
If you really want to replace the original HTC_IME, just rename HTC_IME_lo.apk to HTC_IME.apk and push it to /system/app. I think that's what you were trying to do before.
Hope this helps!
Oh, sorry I guess I forgot to mention that it is running fine in the user folder after installing it. It's just that I wanted to put in the system/app folder to save some space. I'll try renaming it and replacing with the stocked file. BTW, I'm typing on it now and its way better than the stocked because of how much customization you can do.
I finally tied this and it's a no go. Still get FC messages. However, all seems fine when I install it as an app. I think it's because the HTC_IME.odex file which is tied to the original. Even after rebooting it didn't work.
Anyone know how to get that odex file from the new HTC_IME I'm trying to install in the system/app folder?
I don't know about you but I'm not a huge fan of the touchwiz lock screen and apparently neither are other touchwiz variant owners. So I decided to compile a jar for the stock vanilla launcher as a replacement. I haven't tested it yet, but if anybody can successfully get it to push to /system/framework and report back to me that would be great.
There are two files attached one is the modified jar to push and the other is any update.zip to flash back the original if the modded doesn't work.
You must also be using a deodexed and zip aligned ROM.
I will test this when I make it home thanks!

is it working working?
What is the likelyhood this could make a mess of the phone?
I can push it right now but I'm not sure I feel comfortable doing it not knowing what may happen.
I can't seem to get it to push. Do i need to change the file name at all? It says read-only file system and won't allow a push.

Couldn't make it more than 22min without having to try huh?
i extracted the jar from android policy.zip pushed it to /system/framework and my phone would not boot into the os, i had to restore my phone from a nandroid back i had, and yes i did have a deodexed and zipaligned rom on my phone.
I need to swap a custom framework-res.apk from a CWM backup with a new customized framework. I've tried doing this through ADB but it doesn't work. I want to swap the files so I can restore the backup and have the custom framework in it.
I also need to be able to do this on my phone using a file manager app and/or any other app I would need. I'm new to modifying and customizing ROMs, so if someone could explain how i could do this, that would be awesone. If it is not possible to do from my phone, an explanation of how to do it from my Windows 7 PC would be great too.
I have done some modifications similar to this before, but only had to extract and compile zip and apk files. Fron the looks of it, I would guess that framework-res is hidden in the data.ext3.tar file in my CWM backup. If so, how do I extract the files and switch out the framework-res.apk, then recompile? Is it even that simple? Is there anything I'm overlooking?
Thanks so much for any advice any of you can offer

Why not just grab your framework-res apk that you need and copy it to the sd card, then restore backup then copy new framework to proper place?
If I'm assuming you mean to just overwrite the old framework-res by pasting the new one in, I tried that with ES File Explorer and it wouldn't let me overwrite it. I also tried deleting the old one and quickly pasting the new one in, but I started getting perpetual force closes that prevented me from being able to paste the new one in.
How do you suggest doing it?
I should also point out I need to swap in a new SystemUI.apk as well as framework-res.apk to get this theme working

I use root explorer to do this which does work. Yes at time you have to be fast to get between the FC but it can be done. You could also try and grab a theme update zip and modify it to use your files instead.
Hi!
I used for a couple of week a custom rom, the Galnet Miui.
Now I like to try an other rom, but I'd like to keep the Galnet's dialer and browser.
How can I get that apps? Is it easy?
Can I just copy the .apk in system/app in the zipped rom from a zip file to other?
And again... the browser is easy... browser.apk... but how can I recognize the dialer?
Thank you all!
Yes copy the apk to system/app, backup First cause the apk may not work properly, that's why I say backup, experiment all you want but once something goes wrong you have a backup plan , so just get the apk you want and push to system/app and install
NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"
Thank you.
But what's the name of the dialer's apk?
make a backup of whole system folder, then you can test one by one =) DialerTabActivity may be?
downloaded and installed latest build of illusion ROM.
its fantastic but i am missing the phone app.
its listed in system/app.
im able to make calls from the people app and from messaging.
I used ES explorer to get to System/app to delete phone.apk and replace it with a different one but it would nto allow me to overwrite or delete the apk.
id really like to try this ROM, anybody got any help?
in the meantime the only other idea i have is to reflash AOKP and see if it comes up.
going to use the same Gapps (justinbean inverted) and see if it changes anything.
any help appreciated.
