Just got the 4g today, and after removing all the bloatware, I tried to replace the stock swype with a black version using root explorer. In the process the orginal swype.apk & swype.odex that came on the 4g was deleted, and now the version I have won't install. Also, reinstalling factory package won't work as it gets stuck at verifying.
I suspect the inability to install is a signing issue, but I'm on windows 7, so from what I understand it's a lot harder to sign apps.
Is it feasible that I can install a signed swype app or am I sol until the tar becomes available?

you would need to adb push Swype.apk to /system/app/
you cant install it from the sdcard
I try to avoid adb, sigh.

try this one.. taken from a zip in the first post on the following thread:

version 2.2.1 gmail.apk
You may need to push through ADB as it was taken from a flashable package.
Edit: I can confirm this works. Just installed it on my phone. Rebooted and got the "whats new" screen when first opening gmail. Also reply button is at the top along with all other changes.
To install, copy over to /system/app with root explorer or push through ADB with "adb push Gmail.apk /system/app"
Verified also working on other phones. Also, if you are on an odex'd rom, make sure you delete original .apk and .odex files.
works good on Fresh 3.1.0.1, thanks!
I am running BS 1.4 and I can't get it to work. I was an idiot and overwrote the original gmail.apk. Do yall have the original froyo gmail.apk.
Thanks ahead.
Never mind I got it to work and I love it.
Thanks superevilllama!!!
I can install the APK onto my phone but I wouldn't mind waiting for the official release of the app.
Does anyone know how it will become available? Is it through an OTA or will it be in the Market?
What else has changed besides the snapping to top reply button bar?

If I would have posted that, I probably would have searched the marketplace first to find out that no you cannot, at least not yet.
I think google may be moving everything towards being able to update individual gapps through the marketplace, but not quite yet. Plus I am not sure whether this has been officially released.
Can anyone explain how to install this via terminal emulator?
I've tried "cp" and I've tried "install" - always get the "File exists" error.
Am I using the wrong command? Can't use adb since I'm not at my computer for a while.

Try just cut and paste with root explorer and reboot. A whole lot easier.
Either way you have to mount /system/app as RW before it will let you modifiy it.

Hey thanks for this. Never tried Root explorer - worked like a charm. Dunno why I've always been messing with terminal and adb when it's been this easy
I have a Motorola Photon, and I had tried to get the old Market backet back with a process I found in the forum. It didn't work, and somewhere along the line I lost the Market all together. I tried wiping the phone back to factory and the Market app did not come back. I tried to just install a version from 4Shared, but still doesn't work with any version I install. It says that "com.android.vending has quit unexpectedly" and then it FC's. It only seems to do this when I go to download an app. I can browse and search fine with no problems, just no downloading!! I admit I'm a noob, and probably messed with something I shouldn't, but I figured this would be a nondestructive thing to learn on. Man was I wrong!! This sucks...please help me!!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Yes...I was rooted but no custom rom. I don't know how to do that yet. This is going to sound stupid, but what exactly is a custom rom? After I wiped to factory condition I tried to install a vending.apk from 4shared and that still gives me same error. I will uninstall again and try a market.apk now. Is that the same as vending.apk?
A factory reset will only delete user data, it won't put back something that has been removed. You need to get the vending apk for the version you want and instead of installing it normally put it in /system/app. You can do so using Root Explorer or another root level file explorer. If you don't have one installed, I can post the apk of a free one for you. Mount system as r/w and copy/paste the apk into /system/app, then set permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot. You should have your market back up & running.

That's what I originally tried to do and didn't work, but I will try it again...If you could post an apk of the market you know is good that would be great. Can u post an apk of a root explorer also? I havent checked 4shared yet. Is there another free download service other than 4shared? Thanks for your help!!
Just download Market and install it. If it FC then check the permissions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231290
(It's the new market btw. I know you don't want it, but you don't really have a choice at the moment)
Ok so this is weird!! I left the Market that wasn't working installed by mistake. I installed the OTA update that Motorola did, and then re-rooted my phone again. Now the Market is working for the most part!!! Only thing is...it FC's every time iot installs an app. It downloads and installs, but right after it installs it FC's!! It doesn't always close all the way...sometimes just goes to Market home screen. All the functionality seems to be working though, so I can deal with that.
Does anybody know why after the OTA update I can only get EDGE instead of 3G on a Rogers SIM card?
Did you clear Google Services Framework data and Market data?
Hey folks,
TF101 running 8.6.5.13 (pure rooted), trying to update to .18 using daoist's post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334673
CWM keeps telling me it's having a problem with gmail.apk - I had installed the ICS version and (like a moron) failed to keep a copy of the 3.x apk.
Amongst others, I've tried using the .apk posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091566 and failed - it seems a tad old.
I am copying the .apk to the /system/app folder and setting permissions to read on owner/group/all and write on owner, and then installing it - "Application Not Installed" every time, and I've tried a few versions.
Can anyone (a) tell me where I'm going wrong (b) point me at the version of gmail.apk that I need or (c) give me an alternative route to get to 8.6.5.19 (yes, I know I said .18 at the top, ultimately trying to get to .19 but have to go to .18 first apparently)?
Any help greatly appreciated! (Even a pointer to where the install log files live to figure out why it's not installing might help!)
Cheers

when you push it to system/app that is installing it you dont have to hit install from there jsut replace the new one with the old one reboot and clear gmail data and cache

Thanks - but did I mention that I had also "uninstalled" the ICS version by going to Applications -> Manage? Just by-the-by, you know! So I have no way (that I know of) to actually fire up the app - no shortcut, it's not in my app drawer, got no widget running.
I'm REALLY making this difficult for myself
Try this version, it's the backup I made before I pushed ICS Gmail app

Thanks, but same result when I apply the .18 zip - "assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Gmail.apk", "<hex string>", "<different hex string>") E:Error (Status 7)". Those hex strings are what? MD5 checksums?
Strangely I have Gmail back now, so I'm better off that I was before - still getting that assert failed error when trying to apply the zip via CWM though...
I know you shouldn't have to do anything after pushing it to system/app but try clinking on it to install (worth a try).
Permission is rw,rw,r

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
-sent from my POS i897
no camera, no power button but at least I got miui lol
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.

Download the stock kg4 from my guide that is linked in my signature and extract the mms.apk from /system/app and install it. As for the market, try clearing the market data and cache (go to settings, applications, find the market and then click it and hit the clear data button

You don't need to download a whole ROM for one apk. The third link in my signature has all the stock GB apks. You likely need to reflash anyways or add back the apk's you deleted until you get market working. You probably deleted an apk the market needs in order to run. I've done that a few times. You can flash back to stock using the guide in the second link of my signature.
Next time instead of deleting the apk's rename them putting a '.bak' on the end of the file name then test how the phone does. That way you can remove the '.bak' if something goes wrong and determine what caused it.

Some root manager program, I forgot to mention that i reset it to factory. Damn. Its not reading the apk files that i am putting on the sd any ideas?
Start over. It will take too long to walk you through the non reflashing way. Follow the guide in the second link of my signature. It will put you back on Stock unrooted GB. Go from there. Reread my suggestion above before you start deleting things. Good luck.
