Many roms come with a file manager app called Files, which I love because you can map network drives. I am trying out Gummyjar (includes a file manager but not as good) now and miss this app. Anyone know where to get the APK?
Is this it? It's from the 2.4.3 zip.
That's it! Thanks so much!

Hey everyone...I wanted to share something I came across (I did not do ANY of the work...I simply found this in another forum and didn't see it here so I wanted to post it to XDA). For any of you who like the cool news and weather widget from N1's 2.1 build...some smart people ported it over to 1.5, and it works (I tested it out on my CDMA hero). They uploaded it as a .RAR file (as opposed to a .zip), but just download winzip's free trial version and extract using that. Here's the link!

Just extract the apk file from RAR, put it on your hard drive and navigate to it with some kind of file explorer (Astro file manager, etc) and click on the apk file. Your phone will ask you if you want to install it. Once installed add it like any other widget (it will be under Android Widgets).
Edit: Some people on the other forum are experiencing force closes upon reboot. I rebooted to check and did not have any problems. I hope all works for you as well.
Sweet, will try it out!
Nice find! It works perfectly. Thanks
Could someone please rehost this elsewhere? I'm having problems with megaupload lately.
are you guys updating through recovery or pushing it through adk
works great
This works great tell them great job and thanks for bringing this to xda
can someone post a screenie of the reader and does it have a widget?
so far this works great for me!
+1 request for a screenshot.
I can extract a RAR file, but are you guys putting it back in a ZIP and flashing it through recovery or ADB push into what directory?
How exactly are you getting the widget onto your phones?

I'd like to know this as well.
I downloaded it, Un-Rar'd it and used HTC sync App Installer and it works beautifully. No need to re-zip it. It is in APK format.
Inside the RAR file is the .apk. Extract it, put it on your SD card and use a File Manager to install it. As far as screenshots, if you've ever used the 2.1 ROM, its the same widget.

sweet thanks for that info thats what I was hoping for. love the reader widget been waiting for it to get ported.
It looks like you just extract the apk from the rar and then install it. I'm making a BART backup first before I try to install it (I needed to backup anyway).
I'll post back with a screenshot unless someone beats me to it.
dang not the one that I was looking for I really would like to see the RSS reader from the 2.1 build ported I really like that one over any of the ones available on the market.
Screen shots:
Weather
News
Thanks for this. Works great on AOSP 1.6
Installed, tried all the configs, uninstalled. Not as cool as I was expecting it to be. The HTC weather widget is better. This one is quite bland. I'd rather install a separate news ticker app.

Seems kind of laggy.
Can we get the FM radio apk from somewhere? or if it is tied into the HTCmusic.apk can someone post a link for either. Thanks
Check the Fresh ROM thread. I think he removed it from the ROM, which means it'll be in the included zip with all the *.apk's he didn't use.
I have been looking all day and cant find the apk anywhere.... a little help on a link to it... Thanks for reall!!!
Alright I found the link and geekfor.me/evo/21/fresh-evo-01d/#more-1491
I downloaded the zip and extracted the apk for the FM Radio... I go to install it... and after i push install and then OK it says "Application not installed"
Are there resistrctions for some reason on why this isnt working?
read that link you posted
it explains how to install it, you cant just install it from the sdcard
fm
In the ES file explorer app that came with the rom there is a folder called "fresh-removed-apks" ... select the HtcFMradio.apk, select install...
FM tuner for no sense roms
So I'm guessing the apk from fresh rom isn't going to work on the roms that arent running sense. I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could find an apk or update.zip for the fm tuner now included in Cyanogenmod 6.1. I have another aosp rom I wanted to try and intergrate it with.
After using CM 6.1.2 RC2 for a day, I find that I miss certain things that come in the shipped MT4G ROM and I'm wondering if there's a way to get them into the custom ROM. In no particular order:
1. Contacts App
I really like the shipped ROM contacts app over this one. I did an adb pull /system/app for both the shipped ROM and CM 6.1.2 RC2. The shipped ROM has htcContacts.apk and htcContacts.odex, but no Contacts.apk. CM 6.1.2 RC2 has Contacts.apk. Could I transfer htcContacts.apk and htcContacts.odex to the sdcard and install them? Will this give me the shipped contacts app? Or are there other things not included in CM 6.1.2 that are necessary for the shipped Contacts app to function?
2. Calendar and calendar widget
Essentially the same question as #1. In this case, both ROMs have a Calendar.apk, and the shipped ROM additionally has htccalendarwidgets.apk and htccalendarwidgets.odex. Can I replace CM's Calendar.apk with the shipped ROM's version and add the calendarwidgets?
3. Icons and sound files
I'd like to grab some of the icons and sound files that come packaged in the shipped ROM. If they're on internal memory, I just need to do an adb pull and place them on the sdcard, and from there I can access them through the launcher. Does anyone know where those files might be?
Thanks in advance
1. Contacts App
Based on HTC Framework. By the time you're done importing necessary libs/framework resources you're going to end up with Sense rom. However, there many replacement apps on the market, some are very similar to Sense, try them out.
2. Calendar and calendar widget
Same thing as #1.
3. Icons and sound files
This is too general to answer exactly but
You can put sounds on your sd card using following folder structure
sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
sdcard/media/audio/alarms
sdcard/media/audio/notifications
They will show up along with included ringtones/alarms/notifications after reboot
As far as icons - not sure what you mean.
This thread screams Q&A section.
The contacts, calendar, and Widgets are closed source HTC apps so you wont find them in CM..try launcher pro plus...it has some very nice Widgets that u might like. And for sounds and icons you can use metaporph to change icons and create a folder called media in your SD card with the sound files u like

Thanks for the responses. It appears I need to do some more research with regard to the contacts and calendar apps.
Let me try to rephrase #3: The shipped ROM had icons and sound files already loaded onto the device when it came out of the box, probably part of HTC Sense. For instance, the icon for the Messages app is not the green android speech bubble, it looks more like a rolodex card. The icon for the contacts app is different as well. The notification sound I used was pre-loaded on the shipped ROM but is not included in CM. And so on.
I have a backup of the shipped ROM. If I know were these files are located, I can flash back to shipped, adb pull the files I want to my PC, reflash back to CM, and go from there.
Hope that makes sense (not Sense ). I'm happy to do the legwork so long as I know what I'm doing.
Please do not post discussions in Development section.
A lot easier would be to download a stock rom then extracting nandroids (unthemed iced glacier would be a perfect rom to do that)
All ringtones are loacated in /system/media/audio - you can just copy the whole media folder to the root of your sd card or get individual rings.
All apps are located in /system/app/ To get your icons - you need to open up each individual apk and look in "res" folder. Somewhere in either "drawable" or 'drawable-hdpi" subfolders you will find icons. Or you can download espresso icon pack for the market and extract all icons from there (if there's s such a thing.)
Good luck.

Thanks borodin1, I did manage to get those audio files via ADB. About the icons, what do I use to open up an apk?

7zip is good and will open .apk out of the box but any zip utilities will open up apk files, just have to know how to work them... I think that if you use WinZip you have to rename file to .zip and it will work just fine. No sure about others.... I use 7zip because it's free and works great.
Good luck.
The perfect way to achieve what you want is install Launcher Pro Plus on your CM rom. You get the sense like widgets such as the calendar app and you can change the icons of the messaging app and replace it with the "rolodex card" look that you wish. And You can unzip an iced glacier rom and extract the audio files from there and put it on your Sd card under media then notifications, that's what I did to keep my text and call sounds that came with the phone.
Anyways, hope that helped!

Possible to download (from somewhere?) the CM7 music app and use it on Froyo 2.2 custom ROMs?

I haven't tried with Froyo, but I have used the CM7 music app with Gingerbread/JVH. (I actually did this last night w/ Continuum 5.4)
Download the big ~200MB "initial flash" file from the CM7 thread and extract it on your computer.
You should be able to find Music.apk in either ./system/app or ./app. Drop that into the /system/app folder on your phone and set the permissions & file owner to match all the other files in that folder. I used Root Explorer, but there are certainly other ways to do this, too.
Can someone get this apk file from themarket for me? https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.canon.bsd.android.aepp.activity
I don't know why ever since I updated to my new Valhalla ROM 1.3.1 I the app identify itself as incompatible and won't show up when i search it in the phone's market. If anyone can get the apk file for me I will be very grateful.
I have the apk but it does not work val 1.3.2
darn! but thanks for clearing that out for me.
