htc keyboard - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

Im going crazy here!! I installed cm6 extender, but it doesn't install. I drop the apk in system/apps/ and rebooot....nada. I even went as far as too drop the libt9 in lib and nothing.
Does aaaaaanybody have a flashable zip for it? Setup in sig

Anybody?
I remember in darchdroid on here there was a way to change how many apps you saw on homelongpress or whatever. Is there a way to do that? I thought darchdeoid was based off of cyanogine.
I have the HTC_ime.apk but it says installl unsucessful. What do I do?

Do this:

Make sure you pick the Froyo version. After you download it, unzip the file to get the apk. Then use Astro to install the apk. Before you can install it, it might make you uninstall your current one, which is easy, it gives you the option to uninstall when you open the apk.

That was amazing. made a custom one right from my phone, happily typing this to you on it now. thankyou so much.
i have another questoon, i hope you dont mind.
in darchdroid on the hero, there was a setting to show more than 6 recent apps on longhomepress. do you know how i could obtain that?

help: how to add removable apk to roms?

I wasn't able to find info about this until now. But I need to know how to make the apks I include in a rom removable. I guess, maybe, I have to copy into a different folder instead or /system/app. is it right?
thanks
you have to install it in data directory not in system directory. so data/app
ok, thanks, but, if it doesn't exist, should I create it?
no u should not create it because then it wouldnt be a proper directory for your rom, the rom may not recognize it, i think.
which rom are you on? most rom has a data directory, that is where third party apps are installed and where apps downloaded from the market is also installed
this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556962&highlight=enomther
ok i see what u mean when there's no data directory. what you should test out first is go to market and download an app. then see where that app is install. see if it created a data directory or not. it should...
I had a look using root explorer, and there is a folder in the root called /data/app , and there inside are every installed apk, even the ones I installed by astro...
and there is another one called /data/data where I find folder of every app too
ANd another one called /data/app-private (there I found one apk that I downloaded from market.
I try to download a new one
Yup put your apks in data/app
on a related note, is there any way to flash unsigned ROMs? like if I want to drop .apk 's into the data folder of a rom before flashing?

Daily Challenge apk?

I have searched high, and low for this apk and I keep coming up empty handed. I know the widget is available via a custom Rom, but I rather not take that route just yet.
Is this apk out there?
I tried to take the notepad/task widget from Fresh RoM and install it on a couple roms with ES FIle and it wouldn't work so not sure if you even can do it that way.
Interested in finding out a way to get some of these widgets myself.
I was told if I can't get the apk in this forum, I can't be done lol. My fingers are crossed...
Still searching...
Just meant a few fellow Evo owner's that are also interested in the apk. I guess Im not alone

If you see it in a custom rom, then download the rom, rename it to a zip file, and just take the apk for the widget right out of there and install it to your phone.

Did you get the apk from the system/app or data/app folder? If it's the system/app folder, you're going to need to adb push it to the system/app/ folder using adb rather than package install it.

... what are you afraid of? You're phone's rooted, no?
If so, it's legit just typing three command strings to move the file, and you're set... literally seconds.

I'm not familiar with unrevoked, and what permissions it gives you, but, are you experienced with adb at all? Do you have SDK tools installed?
unrevoked3 is a partial root. I would have to go with simpleroot to do what you speak of.
I need to take some time and sit down for a full root. Right now I'm riding around, and time is not my friend.

Its a pretty cool widget that gives you one good deed for the day. It could be hug a friend, or hold a door open for someone.
The file name:
htc.rosiewidgets.daychallenge.apk
TJDuckett
I will do a full root soon, and yes on the fun part
anyone have dl link?
Here's the file
Well, I went a step further, and installed Fresh Evo 1.0.1 rooted via unrevoked3, and Rom manager.
The search option does work once in awhile

Is there anyway to get the stock android brower on the evo?

Not rooted
Easy, but takes some bandwidth.

Simply download a froyo asop rom. Any will work except cyanogenmod. Extact the zip, go into system app, and look for browser. Drag and drop onto root of your sd, get some sort of file manager app from the market, and install it. I think this will work, but i have never tried it.
Until you drag the file onto your sd, this is all on the computer.
Can I get the link to download the file
can someone post up the link to download the stock browser please

I will once I get home and test it out to see if it works. Check back in 30 minutes.
..........thanks
im pretty sure it wont work. i put the browser.apk on the sd card and when i went to astro to install it, it asked me to uninstall the current browser. so i think the only way it might work is if you rooted the phone and then pulled the sense browser and pushed the aosp browser
o i see thank anyway
pushing the browser.apk doesnt work either
how about you just rename the browser.apk thats already in the system\app folder and any odex file in the \system\app folder then install it with the installer app from the market or install command via adb......
hhmmm ????

1.6 SemcIME

Can someone give me the older semcime from 026? I already asked for it, but I got some non-installable HtcIME crap
Thanks in advance
taken from generic x10a
Hey, umm I managed to delete this from my phone, but this version won't install. Does it have to be specific to the firmware?

you may need to enable "Unknown Sources" to be able to install apps that are not from the market. Make sure you have a file browser (EStrongs File Manager is good and on the market), copy the apk file to your SD card using a PC. open EStrongs and browse to the location. install.
Oh, it doesn't work :'(
SemcIME is already in the system
I need the old default keyboard back, or a very similiar. Are there any?

[Q] apk installer zip file to bootstrap app re-installs

Hi all.
I play with quite a few different roms, and currently add a little program apkinstaller to the rom before I load it.
I use the apkinstaller to first re-install TB off the SD card, and then I use TB to re-install everything else, then I go setup my accounts for market and syncing (don't need the cloud servers to do the re-installs wasting bandwidth).
It would be even better if I could put this apkinstaller and TB into a zip file which I could install after loading the rom.
If I can get it to load from a zip file, then I wouldn't even need the apk installer; I would just install TB from the zip file, reboot, and reload from there.
Where can I find information about what I need to do in a zip file to install an apk?
Thanks all.
Yeah I have the same question. Any one have any suggestions?
no-one able to assist
Seems there isn't much interest in replying - I assume this rather than no-one actually knowing.
I need my post count up anyway so I might as well reply with what I have seen. There was a thread somewhere else that I saw someone had a fresh_install.zip script to delete a set of files, and add launcher pro. I guess I need to pull that apart and see what I can work out from it. I only want to do the single file add, so it hopefully will be simple.
easier solution already available
Adding to my own thread again in case anyone else is interested.
I have been looking at the file, and have information about what would need to be done, but now find an easier alternative. It seems that many (most?) of the file managers have an apk installer built in. The roms typically come with a file manager, so I can just use that to start off my re-install process- nothing else required.
Will probably still play with the .zip file though just to understand what it needs.
