How do I change phone.apk - Captivate General

I have flashed Darky's 7.7 for the captivate (awsome rom), and I would like the original phone app back. The rom has the phone app with the video call buttons and I would like to have it without.
I realize this is because it is based on a I-9000 rom, but any help would be appreciated.

What u do is download another rom where u like the phone app. Then put that file on ur sd card.
Next get rootexplorer and change the top to r/w.
Finnally find the phone file that u just put on ur sd card and copy/move it to /system/app. It will ask to overwrite, just say yes.

Thanks, do I just use Phone.apk or Phone_Util.apk and PhoneErrService.apk.
Thanks again.

Just use phone.apk

Yup, cant get that to work, just a couple things force close and the same dialer remains. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

The only thing I can think of is try new phone.apk, phone utilities.apk and phone error(something).apk

I think I might have to make a update.zip and install with clockwork recovery.

Pretty sure you're also going to need DialerTabActivity.apk for this to work properly.
Use caution though, I got my phone stuck in a bootloop trying to do this exact same thing and ended up having to re-flash the ROM.

I'll try that tonight when I get home from work.

The keypad is in DialerTabActivity.apk. You'll want to follow the same steps above to copy that over the current DialerTabActivity.apk in /system/app/. The Phone.apk controls the screen that comes up when someone calls in or when you're in a call.

Hope noone minds unburying the thread. Is phone replacement a way to fix the problem with the phone app losing phone call even when I press home button?
I am not sure if this is the rooting of my nomu s10 that did that, but otherwise, the apps are working fine.
Thanks.

[Q] (Q) ICBINB Rom Stock dialer

First of all I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to dsexton702 and team Acid for this wonderful rom. Everything about this rom is amazingly fast. Thank you guys. Anyway my question is "is there any way I can change to a stock phone dialer on this rom?"
Yes, just grab the DialerTabActivity.apk in system apps from another rom and over right it using root explorer or whatever you use... i had no problem with it when i did this (just know to do this at your own risk) i used the dialer from audiophile and put it on gs4g. just in case make sure you back up your rom before you do this.
Thank you so much jdubb1106.
I think there's also a dialer mod somewhere in the bible. I think it was the Xtreme Dialer.
Yep, the extreme dialers work fine with it.

I did that and started getting Force Closes every time I tried to make or answer a call, even after rebooting. Ended up having to restore my backup rom. Not sure why, but next time, I think I'll try to push the apps into the zip file before flashing the ROM.
and when I restored my old KD ROM, it left the bali3.3 kernel and red CWM, which is nice.
This rom does not have installed email.apk as that of the KF2, since I can obtain it?
Some guide?

Try deleting the original file in /system/app first, then moving over the themed one.
nevermind..i extracted the original dialertabactivity.apk from ICBINB into system/app and it fixed my dialer..but does anyone have any idea how to install the blue one from Extreme mods..or have a link to a working one? thx.

Replace it and make sure permissions are set as rw/r/r

I believe it's only for Froyo. GDofWR420 also said the same. I've tried that initially, but that screwed up my whole calling. I couldn't receive calls after that, but I was able to call out.
Then again, I could narrow that down to either (1) my Froyo data restore or (2) replacing the dialer.
Let me know how that works for you.
I did that still could not requested the launched activity..i must be pointing it to the wrong short cut or something..this is really wierd it should work..any other ideas.
ok i did rw/r/r..on the original dialertabactivity.apk for icbinbkh2 and it is still not working...says the same thing..
the main issue is.i dont even see phone in my applications..when i tried to replace that dialertabactivity.apk..that messed it up to where ic ant even get the originial icbinb dialertabactivity.apk to work and atleast get a stock dialer for now..any ideas devs?

You're right, it's Froyo KD1 only. From the post:

Froyo and GB mods aren't compatible. Even mods between different revisions of Froyo and GB aren't compatible. Find the original dialer file somewhere so you can get your dialer back. Extract it from ICBINB KH2 if you have to. Should be under /system/app in the zip file.

Unfortunately, that doesn't even help it. You have to reflash KH2 again. Make sure you don't do an advanced data restore either. That'll restore the messed up phone.apk and dialertabactivity.apk. Use Titanium. FBis251 and I have tested that out and it works perfectly fine for user apps.

It should be fine to do an advance restore if he didn't make a backup after he messed up the dialer. But I would first try to push a gb dialer then fix permissions.

Ah, right, I forgot about him possibly making a previous backup. As long as it's not a Froyo backup, it'll be fine.
However, pushing the GB dialer and fixing permissions won't fix the problem. I've practically tried all of the simple methods to fix it.
Unfortunately I did not make a backup...using titanium backup....is reflashing the only way...I tried the Paul Diddy dial,with replace and fix permissions still did not work and thats for gingerbread...the stock gingrrbread dialer fromkh2 also did not work
I had the same issue yesterday and spent all last night trying the same thing you did. I had to odin back to T959VUVKG4 and started over. Do not install [THEME] [CWM] KG6, KH1, KH2 FEELING BLUE - Overscroll Glow-CRT on-off. UPDATED 8/17 on GB it will mess up the dialer.

Sorry to hear that man. Your best bet is just to reflash and restore backups with Titanium instead. Start with a KC1 clean slate, just to be safe. Then flash ICBINB KH2 again from there.

[Q] Sending attachments FAIL - help!

Ok, I have tried using the stock Infuse email app, the Gmail app, and Maildroid. Each one has the same issue:
When I try and send an attachment any bigger than about 800k it will not send. It just sits in the OUTBOX.
Now, if I am somewhere where I can enable WIFI and connect then it will send. If I am using cellular data connection (H+/4G) it will not send.
I am not exactly sure what the size cutoff is - I'm sure that I have tried to send a PDF that showed as 800k on the device and it would not send. So I am sure anything over 800k is going to get stuck in the old OUTBOX.
The phone has not been rooted and is using the stock ROM. It has had the latest ATT update.
I have searched everywhere I can think of but cannot find any answers.
I'm beginning to think I am the only person with this issue because I am guessing others would have mentioned it by now.
Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance for any help!
I noticed that also when I first bought my phone one of the reasons it was rooted and rommed in just a few hours I think its an att restriction I just sent a 15mb video with 3g to make sure it would work

I send 5+ mb attachments routinely over k9 mail and gmail with no issues. Sometimes gmail delays them, but sends them through.
Ok,
I rooted and flashed the Infuse with the MIUI rom and it works. Sending attachments over 800k now works without a hitch.
Does anyone know how to get the original stock ATT Infuse email app working on the MIUI 12/31 rom?
The am not fond of the email app that is already installed with MIUI.
Thanks for any help!

I think this is it...pulled it from stock.
if it doesnt run, you have to copy and paste into system/app or use abd to push it.

Can't install it
qkster,
I moved it to system/app and tried to install (device is rooted, ES File Explorer with system write enabled) but it wouldn't install.
Maybe I am doing something incorrectly, but I am not sure what that could be.
Thanks for the help though. Any ideas?

You can try pushing it into the system pak with abd.
Or you can also change the permission of the pak once you have copied it using root explorer, our a similar root tool.

[Q] This may be the wrong spot. But please help with MMS!!

OK, Here is what I have: I have a Samusung admire, Metro Pcs. New just rooted today.
I was removing all the metro crap (using titanium) when I deleted the MMS being I wasent using it, I use the go sms pro.
Well to come to find out you kinda need the mms that was installed on the phone, so now im trying to get it back on there...
Here is my issue I am having:
I go to system, apps and I see the MMS there, when when I try and install it, it says not installed. so I extrated files and tryed it again, same thing, of course Im not sure if Im doing this right. By the way I do open the superpermission on it.
What am I doing wrong, can anyone please give me advice on how to install this?
If you didn't make a Titanium backup of your stuff before you started removing things, you're out of luck my friend and it's factory reset time for you
If you ever have doubts about removing things using a program like Titanium, pick the 'freeze' option instead of the 'delete' option. This will halt the process and stop it running in the background and consuming memory, but you can 'unfreeze' and restore it to normal should freezing cause issues.
No such luck with deletion, of course
Let me know how you get on. Good luck!
Try asking someonee to upload the mms apk

That's weird. I've deleted the stock MMS.apk tons of times without a single problem
Do adb push
adb push MMS.apk system/app
After this set permissions to chmod 644 reboot and your good to go :thumbup:

I have used swype for a long time and have replaced it many times.
You have to make sure that you have removed ALL "references" of swype from your phone or it will not install. Including any backups you may have in Titanium Backup.
What I always do is delete my Titanium Backup backups. Then in Titanium Backup settings> more > Clean up the Dalvik Cache, I clean the Dalvik Cache. After that I reboot my phone. Then I install swype (I send myself a new email invite from the swype beta website) without any issues. It works EVERY TIME.
I think stock Swype needs a library in /system/lib, something like libSwypeCore.3.25.91.32328.so (maybe wrong with the version). See if you have it or what the version is.
I only pushed the swype.apk into the system apps, nothing else. How do I get the library?

Stock rom has that lib I believe for stock swype u also need swype tips apk or something like that

Erik and Antonx are both right. From stock KJ6 debloated by raver, you need to pull from /system/lib libSwypeCore.3.25.91.32328.so and push it to the same directory on yur phone. Then pull swype.apk and SwypeTip-release.apk in /system/app and push them tothe same directory. Do not try to install them by selecting them or whatnot as it will fail.
