It appears we can't install apk's by dropping them into system/app. I can side load easily running rooting stock but can't get them to install when dropping them into that folder. Just for kicks I tried dropping them into data/app as well with no luck. Any ideas?
Just tried pushing it with adb, the still sits there in system/app but doesn't install.

It can depend on what it is and what ROM you are on. I just took the Camera.apk from MIUI and put it in CM7, and it worked.
HTCCamera.apk will not, however.
Did you reboot after putting it in /System/App? Also, did you set the permissions correctly?

That actually works with my theory, I think sense is the culprit. MUI and CM7 are both free of sense so you should be able to drop into system/app. HTCCamera requires sense to function properly.
So now i've accidentally removed HTC stock clock app (WorldClock.apk) from my Revolution HD 3.0 there's no way to reinstall it??
I made it to place the backuped apk from pc to /system/app but it doesn't install
and if i try to do adb install this is the result:
C:\Android\platform-tools>adb install WorldClock.apk
1700 KB/s (517095 bytes in 0.296s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/WorldClock.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]
I was just about to fix permissions, hoping that could do ther trick...

so... i recently rooted my xperia play 4g, and i deleted the original browser apk. i thought i had backed it up, but no such luck. i got a copy off of another rooted phone that i hadnt deleted it off of, but it refuses to install no matter how i do it or what permissions i give it. chmod 644 and the permission editor in root explorer dont affect the installation. could someone help? i need it for the voice search to work properly..........

I don't think you need to install. Just try pushing it and it should appear automatically in your app drawer. Let me know if that works.

This. If you use adb to try to install something, AFAIK it's the same as just clicking "install" on your phone. But that doesn't work for system apps (often), so what you'll want to do is
Code:
adb remount
adb push Worldclock.apk /system/app/
and see if it shows up then, since that's normally how this is done.

and in this case, the remount isnt permitted, although i do have root access. and the su app doesnt say anything, so i dont know if its the app. in the log, the last entry is "shell allowed." ive tried the remount afterwards, and no go.

You might want to ask for this to be moved to the xperia forums or post there entirely. As i can see this is already causing confusing because you are in the wrong location for this problem. IE. 95% of the people posting here probably have inspire or desireHD phones. Might make more sense to post where more people use the xperia.
Problems and fixes most times will not work cross platforms.
Oh... I was hoping that android would kinda run the same basic way on all of the phones.... Like how you know where a windows program installs whether it's on a dell comp or hp. Lol. Sorry.

a better analogy would be like going to best buy tech department to ask about a problem for your fridge. while they probably could figure it out after troubleshooting, it would have been faster to just go to the appliance department support. Just saying the OP would be best to get support from users that may have encountered this exact problem on the same phone so it would be a quick fix instead of working through the process. Dunno bout you but the less time i am stuck with a problem, the better

I know there are 3(or more) existing swype threads. I KNOW THIS. I just threw my swype kb file folder from black glass into the full version swype for those that wanted a BlackGlass swype that didnt know how to do it themselves. Get it HERE. If any one wants a new color lemme know and ill put it up when i get a chance, so we have more colors to choose from.
If you cant get it make sure you hav3 done the following:
for those who are getting expired messages try removing all traces of Swype:
1. In terminal,
Code:
rm /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk
2. In terminal,
Code:
rm -r /data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod
3. Clear your dalvik-cache
I've not gotten an expiration yet, but hopefully this works for you
__________________
I love Swype, but have no idea what you're talking about lol. Can I get a screen shot?

its always worked for me. Im currently using this exact apk in my rom. Not sure what the problem could be. You can always take the libs from it and throw them in your roms lib folder (using root explorer on an already installed system), thats how i make it work out of the box in my mods. It should just install, i normally use andro or root exp to install apps that werent included in the rom. Root commander works great too. I dont use adb for apk installation.
I tried pushing it first then used Astro to install

right on. if not pm n ill get it going for you. i have a few diff. copies,but this is the one im currently using. I had to mess with it some to get it to work with a new rom install(its a choice from get go) so i learned a little about installing it
Not working for me either... used Linda and Estrongs file explorers... neither worked.
Do you need a previous version of Swype installed for it to work?
Won't install for me either

The way it worked for me, I had to adb remove swype first, then download to SD and then use astro to install
Yeah im going to guess if you had swype previously installed this one probably wont install for you.
the **** doesnt install anyway i tried, i did have it previously, what folder do i adb pull from?
I used Advanced task manager to uninstall my previous version, then Estrongs File Explorer to install this one, works fine for me. Thanks!

system/app...you will probably need to list the files to see exactly what its named to remove.
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app
ls
rm whateveritsnamed.apk
This is a developer site right? Well this is just an app install. I put it up to help ppl out not piss them off. Ive listed the best way to do it and it works FLAWLESSLY. Please do the following or listen to my previous instructions before threadbombing...This is not hard, so please calm down and try not to get upset. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
INSTRUCTIONS
1)REMOVE ANY EXISTING SWYPE YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE
2)MAKE SURE ITS ACTUALLY GONE(it can be pesky to remove)
3)DOWNLOAD THE APK TO SD
4)USE ANDROZIP FILE EXPLORER TO INSTALL THE FILE(i think astro works too)
5)ENABLE YOUR SWYPE OPTION FROM settings/language keyboards
6)LONG PRESS ON A TEXT ENTRY FIELD
7)TAP INPUT METHOD
8)CHOOSE SWYPE TO USE IT
And lastly if this does not work for you and you still really want swype i have a rom i just put up yesturday that has swype,android kb, and htc kb included and you just select whichever you want to use(no installing anything). Good luck AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU(im not a star wars freak, just seemed like the right thing to say)
Thanks, was missing my black kb, any chance we could get the micro black version? Mine quit on me yesterday morning
What were the first 3 things you did to your phone? Did you install applications that require root and if so what were they? Did you get ClockworkMod Recovery installed and backed up your phone? Just curious to see what everyone did right after rooting your phones.
For me I did the following:
1) Installed ClockworkMod Recovery & backed up my phone
2) Installed Titanium Backup Pro (why does it only show 5 things and not all apps?)
3) Installed ShootMe

1. Installed ROM manager.
2. Back everything up
3. Installed root explorer to delete bloatware
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
the only thing i have done is used it to disable the apps that came on it .. not show in the app list and keeps it from running but gets the updates still if they get one .. figured it was better than removing them since there really wasnt a recovery or restore or other rom to flash again if something goes wrong from an uninstalled app or something .. it has enough memory anyhow.
Setting up adb was a pain in the ass due to the given drivers dont install ... there is some code that you have to copy/paste into the inf file(that wasnt in the guide) for the mytouch 4g.
other than that .. havent done anything .. im waiting till the something solid comes out ... not a big fan of rom manager .. havent tried titanium .. i really did like armon ra recovery .. hope he makes one for this thing.
This is what I did.

Hmmm I'm not all to familiar with ADB yet but I have had to use it to turn S back on after getting it OFF with the rooting process and the driver installed that was on the sd card without problem (I'm assuming seeing as I needed the driver in order to complete the process... again I'm new to it all).
Quick question how can I check it again to make sure I have adb set up right?
*edit* just to make sure I have it right, and correct me if I am wrong, I connected my phone to the computer started a command prompt, typed in "adb devices" and it showed "List of devices attached, HT0********* device" - so is it fair to say I have adb installed correctly?
I also went to my device manager and seen *Android USB Devices and then under it MY HTC - so I'm guessing that is the name the HTC driver took when I installed it.
Again, I am sharing this as a peace of mine to myself and maybe someone else that is new to the process like myself (but learning thanks to every one of you all here) that is just wanting to make sure its done right.

hmmm you cant open the command prompt and hit adb devices and there it is from what i know .. you have to cd into it first .. which would be the default of cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools (if you put the SDK folder into the root of your C: on your comp) .. then you can type adb devices and you should see yours there and then adb shell and I usually do a "su" as well ..
if ya really want to test it out type in reboot and the phone will restart ... but if you see the list of devices that should be confirmation enough really

glad it worked for ya ..
another thing to try if you have not done so yet is to try something like this in the terminal or thru adb.
pm disable com.tmobile.apppack <hit enter>
you should get a message saying something like new status disabled .. and not just killed
then go into menu/settings/applications/manage applications/all/ and find the one that says "com.android.providers.applications" hit that and then force close .. this will restart the launcher to show the change and that damn app pack that comes preloaded that you cant uninstall will be gone from the applications.
However .. this DOES NOT uninstall them it just keeps the icon from showing up in your apps and prevents it from running but will still get the automatic updates if there is one for it .. how damn cool is that
if you are in adb hit pm list package and it will show you all of the com.names of all the apps on the phone and you can type whatever you want using the pm disable thing like about to remove it from the app list but without unstalling them.
if you want to enable them then its just pm enable whatever app name here.

How and what bloatware did you remove? I know that there is a crap on this phone that I will never use. ie guitar hero and those other craps. I just want to know the steps to do the same thing. Thanks
Hi. Ive owned an Android for 2 days now and decided that the best thing to do to get rid of all the annoying background programs that run on the Inspire is to root my device and delete them. i accidentally deleted my htccontacts though with Titanium Backup and unfortunately its not letting me recover the file. I still have all my contacts and I can see them and text/call them if I get to them through my dialpad/phone tab, but the actual "people" widget wont pop up with anything anymore and if I try to view the actual contact list I get the error "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly"
I searched and found that someone else had a similiar problem with a different phone and the answer wasn't clear at all as to what should be done. I'm hoping someone could please get back to me ASAP as to what I should do to get that thing back! It shouldnt be too complicated?
Here is the apks for the htc contact and widget:

I just got my HTC One S via T-Mobile and I was curious to see if Carrier IQ was installed. If so, are there any measures I can take to disable/remove it while I await the development of some Custom ROMs? Ever since I read the article on Carrier IQ, I feel really uncomfortable using a stock ROM so though I've had my phone for a few days, I've yet to do anything except root it.
Yes carrier IQ is there as an option. You can either choose to allow T-Mobile to have the info or not. You should see the agreement accepting or denying the service as you set up your device.

that option isn't good enough for me... i want it GONE...
are there apps, like what truecrypt does for pc to encrypt the whole file system and there is a password at boot? i can't find anything like that, that does just that
Might want to throw this out to one of the devs in the Q&A section. Not sure if this has been addressed yet with the One S.
Sent back in time to find Marty.
well surely, if im right, that carrier IQ will be an apk installed on the phone, to collect info ??
if thats the case, install titanium backup or a root exploerer (needs root) and hunt that bad boy down and remove it..
might as well remove all the bloatware too. get your self a nice clean stock ROM without having to flash anything........except recovery and root zip lol

Thanks for reminding me about this. After looking into it the damn thing is installed on the phone =(. It's installed as a rootkit though so you can't see it in titanium backup to remove it.
It exists in /data/data/com.carrieriq.tmobile and also /system/lib something something. It's late here so forgive my lack of effort.
my attempts failed at removing it. It keeps rebuilding itself in data/data even after I delete it but not in /system/lib.
Although a pretty awesome thing is that after deleting **** it no longer has that red text warning about my boot loader being unlocked when my phone boots up.

Ok, looks like it's removed completely. Again it's late so I'll give a better answer tomorrow. There was some entry for it in TB the icon for it is pink and looks like a cog.

ICS has this option built in, at least in the EU ROMs of the HOS it is available. You can encrypt the system/data area or everything (sys/data and the sd storage partition).
However, just like TC this will not help you with any malware that is already on the system at the point of encryption. And unlike TC you can't just "decrypt" and retain the data. Removing the encryption means going back to total factory reset and a full wipe of data.

So you no longer have the ''this is for development purposes bla bla bla'' on boot ??
can you remember the exact location / name of this file that removed it ?? would also like it gone
IQ-tmobile-release-signed.apk
IQToggle.signed.apk
I found these in "/system/app" using Root Explorer. Going to look into the other locations mentioned in the earlier post. Will report back.

What u deleted to get rid of the this is for development blabla stuff??
figured that out first day glad some one else posted how to it saves me from having to write a tutorial
Actually i couldn't really think of a possible explanation why the red warning text on the first splash is generated by any file within the android system as it is loaded before any android component. the first splash has its own dedicated area on the and from what i know from the HD2 it can only be altered by a flasher that is capable to write to that adress range. That again is only possible if security is disabled (S-OFF).
If this theory is wrong please correct me but i am fairly sure the red warning cannot be undone by removing carrier IQ related files.
So what exactly does this record/report?
Well google pointed me at A LOT of info about this, I had no idea about it till now. Was surprised to see how many people have open suites going on with the company. I used the voodoo scanner and it's on my phone but it says it's not running. I am going to rip it out anyway, can't trust companies these days.
Well followed the steps and it's down to 170 now.
Lol

For those who dont know, there is a new updated S-voice out that is currently working on most devices. I'm sure it'll be patched soon as well, and the need to change the build.prop will arise again. In the meantime, this one DOES work
http://www.mediafire.com/?fp04n29phdzeram
Move to system/app, install, enjoy.
When was it updated? I got the download from the original thread yesterday afternoon.
How is it different to skyvi?

This was updated earlier today. Many users were having trouble with the previous build after Samsung blocked access to the application from other devices.

I'm sorry, I can't speak on behalf of that since I've never used it. Perhaps someone else in the thread can help you on that. My apologies.

Did you push THEN install?
I should also note that this app is only compatible with ICS 4.0+ roms.

I'm getting Force Close every time I tell it to do something that app oriented, I'm assuming it's looking for Samsung applications? I fixed permissions with in root explorer , is there something else I'm missing. Still think its kinda pointless lol. NVM some things work some dont, I sent myself a text but cannot set an alarm lol. this helped things though.

I have permissions set to -rwxrwxr-x
I have permissions set to -rwxrwxr-x
I haven't a clue then lol, tried that as well, with no luck.
I copied that .so file from the .apk into the lib folder and it works now. It appears the only time that the app FC itself is when it tries to launch another app. I'm guessing probably because it is trying to look for the Samsung app.
Example - When I ask "Locate the nearest Mexican restaurant" or "What is the weather like today?"
U should link the the original thread so people can give credit where it is due and thank whoever ported it

hi, may sounds silly, but i'm new in the android game.
where do I find the "systems/app" folder that you mentioned? I'm on a Mac and using the USB Mass Storage, but I don't see the systems folder.
any help will be appreciated.
You're going to need to use ADB with cmd line to push it as far as I know or have root enabled file explorer like ROM Toolbox and you will see system when you're in it, this app never worked when I pushed it to system for me just installed it like a normal app and rebooted phone
