Is there a way to extract the Phone Dialer and/or Contact apk from one ROM and replace it another ROM?
I am running MotoDroid1 with Ultimate Droid 2.0, but hate hate hate the phone dialer. I like the dialer from Liquid FroYo.
Can this be done with NinjaMorph? Or do I just move from update.zip to another? Any suggestions?
Forgive me if this has been asked, I couldn't find it in the search.
Thanks.
You could use root explorer, go to system/apps to extract the app.apk files. However, I have no idea if they'll be able to be installed on another rom.

Hi,
I have an HTC desire and a samsung galaxy. I found that there are many applications in the desire that are not available on the Galaxy i9000 like the calendar , the clock widget, the people widgit and there are no arabic characters in stalled for the browser. Can someone please tell me how to install those manually without having to flash an entire custom ROM? I already rooted the device and I have android SDK
Thank you,
same question?
how can we get the apk files (if any) from one rom to another
Use adb pull command to extract .apk files from a Rom ur using, or from an ruu .exe file you need to Google how to extract update.zip from it, then look in system/app or data/app in update.zip.
If you find apks with corresponding .odex or .dex (cant remember which it is), you will also have to research odexing/deodexing.

One more thing... I think the HTC stuff might also need specific other stuff (libraries... whatever the hell they are)... worth a try though, have a play.

I'm having trouble finding out how to install a theme to my newly rooted and 2.3 ROM'd phone, I don't understand what 7zip is, and/or where to place the .apk file in order to install it.
Help me out??
The easiest way to install themes will be by using some launchers like adw launcher.. Both the launcher and the themes are available in the market..

Cool, how about live wallpapers?

the same question .....
ya.. its the same.. u can get live wallpaper from the android market..
No, that's not what I mean, sorry my bad. I didn't properly explain. If I download a (.apk) that is NOT on market, but here on XDA, how do I put it on my phone as a live wallpaper?
Sent from my A853 using XDA App
I figured it out, I just needed to put the .apk file on my SD card and open it with ES File Explorer or any other file management app would have done, I'm sure... then make sure I was able to install apps from unknown sources and it worked. Now Running 2.3 iceandfire with droid2 theme, rooted and overclocked!! It's stupid how much faster it got.
wow.. cool
Hi, i am new here to XDA Dev, and i have a request:
The stock messaging app on the GS4G, is it possible to replace it with a different stock messaging app? I dont like how the layout looks like. I previously had a Motorola Cliq, and absolutely loved the messaging UI on it. Perhaps its possible to make a port over? or something at least similar, in some graphical way?
Remove mms.apk. replace with the mms app if you're choice. I use go SMS Pro. Drunk, so its that don't make sense ... W/e.
Download the app, go to cache folder in root explorer and copy rhe apk. Hell yeah

Any chance I can have a link to this?
Ya, here. Just replace it via super manager or root explorer. but make sure you are deodexed. If not, then delete mms.apk. mms.odex, push the file, then delete dalvik cache.

Thank you kind sir
Edit: I love the style and settings for this app! But I hate the white background/ color choices. I truly appreciate your reply, but are you aware of anyway to change this?
Lol, go to settings, then go down and select black background. Hit the back button twice to kill the app, turn it on again

If this does not install for you (it probably will not) go to "system/app" and delete the music apk. (you need to be rooted) Then reboot and it should install fine.
I was able to install the app (by placing it in the system folder) with no trouble at all but I was wondering if it was recommended to rename/delete the stock music player app or will these two applications not conflict?
Can you just add a .bak extension on the stock apk instead of deleting it?

Yes thrice. Finally Today I succeeded to get the Stock app but still widget is missing
What I did?
1) Changed the lock screen style to "Stock"
2) When phone was unlocked its asked me to update the stock. So I did that
3) And surprisingly now Stock app is reflecting in app drawer but still widget is missing from the list
Also checked in the ROM App file on my PC. But I have not found any apk file related to the Stock widget . Can some one help me for Stock widget?
I can't see any stock widget either. Sorry I can't help you further, as I don't use the stock app. Maybe it's only available as a lockscreen on Sense 4.1
