Ah ok, and whats the command for it? Sorry, for all these questions but tbh I was never deep in the software scene or else.

Do you still have root? You can just use root explorer to copy it over to system/app/blabla.apk
But for adb you have to mount the system, then push the files. This is enough info for google keywords
However, from my experience the x10 doesn't like reinstalling system apps. Best chance is to back up everything with titanium backup and reflash.
Sorry I didn't give you exact commands but this was

Ok, at least I already copied them back to the right folder but nothing changes. So I have to reflash, ok. Thank you for you help.

Reflashing is not necessary... Do you have windows or mac? I'll make you a script so that it will load it on it's own.

Droid X bootscreen with sound Now flashable

I finally figured out how to add sound to a bootscreen. I've attached the file if anyone would like to use it. Thanks go to sdotcarlisle for the original port of the bootscreen. Thanks to zachg432 for making the flashable zip. Attached below (droidboot.zip). You still need to remove your old bootscreen.

There is a post over on the eris development page that has what your looking for, a guide.its on the first it second page. Maybe third. Good luck

Try unzipping it first then put it in the folder I think that might have been how I did. Also did you try deleting your old bootscreen?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

should i delete the things in the bootscreen folder and then copy the contents of the zip

Either that or just delete the entire folder and add the folder from the zip.

i went in and deleted bootanimation.zip and pushed this one to my phone but when it boots now all i get is the initial white HTC screen then it goes black until it boots up...

this should work for all roms or for fresh only....

how would i push adb this ????

lol... lol.... lol... i did it and all i got was the name android in blue.... lol

If you are having trouble with pushing the file, you can try this flashable one: http://www.mediafire.com/?710puu7332q43la
I would nandroid first though. I haven't tested it.

Google Now for ICS with VOICE working

Edited 8/20/2012: Please go to THIS THREAD for further updates as continued development is taking place here and newer info is now available.
I made a flashable zip for Google Now based on This Thread
Theres a lot of different methods and files out there but some of the other methods dont seem to work for everyone. This one has worked for me and some others on ViperS rom specifically, and made it flashable for a very easy installation. Should work on all ics roms.
Note: Sorry for any issues earlier, hope all is fixed now.
1. MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE ANYTHING JUST TO BE SAFE.
2. Flash Away.
Flashable Zip - V2 (FIXED)

One more for good measure

I merely used different resources to make this as easy as possible so I give credit and thanks to all involved, especially Mikeyxda as I edited his updater script to fix my flash file and Lenny_kano for his work on this.
Enjoy :good:

I thought I fixed this. I updated the mirrors so you may have the original corrupted file. The new file should be labeled SIGNED at the end. Make sure to delete google quicksearchbox from your system also beforehand. I reverted to a backup, and followed the above steps without issues.
Hope it works now!
Let me know

Worked for me.
Thanks!

Whats the name of the file? The original file was corrupted but the ones up now should be fine. The new file should say signed.zip at the end. I flashed it without issues. I'll try downloading and checking again in case the file was corrupted during file transfer.

Nothing at all. Leave it as is. You can try flashing the zip through 4ext or extract the system folder in root explorer and paste it to the root of your phone and merge contents. Reboot.

Thanks for posting this. I got GNow working on my Sensation (Running ARHD) yesterday by following the instructions found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856
I downloaded "mikeyxda APK version 2" Offline/online. It's easier to get working and doesn't require any deleting. Just a simple flash via recovery, confirmation of settings through a file manager and you're good to go.
Hope this helps anyone else. Screenshot attached for good measure.

Simple method to install .APK that PlayStore Won't Let you install.

To install an app the PlayStore wont let you install do the following (You will need at least one device compaible with the phone)
Install ESFile explorer on the Device with the working App.
Tap On App Manager then Select and HOLD the Application you want.
From the List Select Back-Up
Then Back out back to the first page, and find the Backup folder, and go into it, then into the Apps folder.
Your see the APK backed up.
Then Press and HOLD, and select SHARE.
Share the file to your DropBox
You can then grab the file on your PC and install anyway you see fit.
If you have Unknown sources ticked, you can also then open Dropbox on the Nexus 7, navigate to the folder you shared it to, and install it from there. (Simples)
You could also share the file Via Bluetooth, I have not tested to see if it will let you install the file, but I cant see why not) (Thanks for the idea Gogeta)
I installed and am now using BT Smart talk this way.
Hope this helped someone.
If you find a simpler way please post it.
If I managed to help, please say Thanks.

As Per Title, This is for files that PlayStore WON'T let you install. So no way to install it. The .APK may not be available elsewhere, like BT Smart Talk.

If you go to /system/data/apps all installed apps go in there, as far as i know. Is this what your trying to get? That way you can skip the backup and save any space that it takes up.

Or, you could use Quixer to send it straight over to the other device, no matter the distance. I like the Bluetooth idea as well though, that would be the easiest for single, close range sharing.

You should be rooted in order to access internal memory from your phone. Or use adb to pull the apk.
There's also lucky patcher but shouldn't share it in xda.

Download and install "Root Explorer" from the market. It defaults to the root directory. Just open up the app, find /data in the root directory, click on it, and then click /app. All your user downloaded and installed apps are there.

Had same problem with LG G3 and solved. Thanks.

picking up an old thread because i have the same problem.
only - the remedy here didn't work for me.
there WAS some remnants of an old install at /data/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup. i killed it, but no jive.
still - "application not installed."
any other pointers?

i am also have the same problem
all files and folders wich name have words "titanium" or "keramidas" deleted from data\app, data\app-lib, data\data
i leave just a folder with backups on sd
but it don't have effect, still can't install

well, i don't remember what exactly i did to get it to work, but i succeeded. one of these:
- version 7.2.0 worked for me
- update busybox
- delete all the tibu data folders (as you've done).
fyi - i'm on cm12.1.
