Nice ROM so far.
Issues I've noticed.
RM can't boot into recovery.
AOSP messaging app still needs some polish.
Also not so much an issue as a wtf? No Radio and no video app. I like both and I believe there is an AOSP Video apk And I liked and used the FM radio, I do relize its an HTC app but It's not bloat IMO.
How can I get it back?
Is there no help to be had? I tried Googling the .apk and found an install zip package to install thru clockwork but that didn't work. It didn't do anything as far as I can tell but it was from an incredible thread so I'm guessing that was why it didn't work. I also tried to copy the .apk from the stock system/app folder to my sdcard using root explorer before I installed the ROM. When I tried to install it after the flash it failed.
What did the fail say?

Unable to install or sonethig generic like that. I may reflash my recovery image rerip out the apk and give it another go. Should I have grabbed the odex (or whatever file it was) as well?

For anyone that needs this, here is a link to all of the stock apps from /system/apps

noob question: do I need both the apk and odex file? Do I install it through something like astro, or just place it in the system folder?

I think the odex files are useless, they must be created on the DI for its use upon installation. They must be copied to the /system/app folder in recovery, I'm not sure if they'll work from Astro . . . I doubt it since /system is locked unless in recovery, ATM.
I think odexing the files is supposed to increase performance with the dalvik cache or something.
Thank you so much.
noob question, too.... is there a walkthru guide for installing the stock apps? I accidentally erased with Titanium, without backing them up first. jejeje EVO 4G, with unrEVOked, i believ it has stock kernel. any help greatly appreciated.
Download a file manager like root explorer and just put them into system/apps and reboot... That's how I've done it

Does not work in HTC Desire Z. Do any of you have Desire Z sense mail apk?
Noob question. I'm looking for a friend to add some of the Sense apps to his CM7 install. Is it possible to just add the stock apk to the system?
The link doesn't work anymore and I am searching for HtcFacebook.odex. Can someone please upload it again?
Not rooted
Easy, but takes some bandwidth.

Simply download a froyo asop rom. Any will work except cyanogenmod. Extact the zip, go into system app, and look for browser. Drag and drop onto root of your sd, get some sort of file manager app from the market, and install it. I think this will work, but i have never tried it.
Until you drag the file onto your sd, this is all on the computer.
Can I get the link to download the file
can someone post up the link to download the stock browser please

I will once I get home and test it out to see if it works. Check back in 30 minutes.
..........thanks
im pretty sure it wont work. i put the browser.apk on the sd card and when i went to astro to install it, it asked me to uninstall the current browser. so i think the only way it might work is if you rooted the phone and then pulled the sense browser and pushed the aosp browser
o i see thank anyway
pushing the browser.apk doesnt work either
how about you just rename the browser.apk thats already in the system\app folder and any odex file in the \system\app folder then install it with the installer app from the market or install command via adb......
hhmmm ????
Im coming from a Samsung Vibrant which was my first android phone and I loved it. Now this Nexus S has found my heart but for some reason whenever I try to push an app such as the touchwiz launcher to system/app it moves the app to that folder but for some reason it doesnt install even after reboot. I tried to even reset defaults in the launcher but that was a no go. What am I doing wrong? I am running NSCollab.
try
adb install <path_to_apk>
if its on the same folder as your adb then just type the .apk
that will only install it to SD card, not SYSTEM partition
to install to SYSTEM you will need to include the APK to the ROM to be flashed

Cant you just manually place it there with some like root explorer and manually install it?
I'm just getting to add an apk to an existing rom, I'll try adb install a lil later. But to me its odd since on the vibrant all I had to do was push to system partition and restart

yes...place it in the "system/app" folder
you will see all the other apk native to your ROM in that same folder
you may have to fix permissions (r,w/r/r)

I have fixed permissions and everything but still its a no go. I dont get it, when I try to install in that directory it doesnt install. I figure this is a nexus S thing? Can anyone confirm this working?
I am running CM7 btw and after flashing my vibrant with it I am no longer able to push to system/app in order to install apk. Is this a problem or feature of CM7?
Reboot after changing permission. Btw, what app are you pushing?

I tried pushing a modded version of the touchwiz launcher from the vibrant, theres a thread here somewhere in which someone was able to push without problems.
Edit: I tried rebooting but still not working. I also tried pushing a video player which others have successfully pushed and was unable to get that working either.
I came from the 3.5 ROM's and am now running the stock + ROMs to get the phone speed and stability back. I would like to know how to use the mail.apk from 3.5 on this rom.
I saved the apk to my sd but when i open it using Astro, it gives me an error.
I tried to delete or rename the current mail.apk in the /system/app folder but i cannot do so there either.
What do i need to do to install the newer version of this application?
Thanks for your help!!
i tried to copy it into system\apps but it just says application not installed.

Ok not sure if this is the right place or what but im a go ahead anyway, i was looking at some custom roms and i notice that some roms had the DownloadproviderUI.apk i tried pulling it and putting it on my phone but nothing i keep getting error messages that the file cant be something.(sorry)
the apk was running on the Triumph and i have a Triumph but its on a custom rom im running a Stock and it cam from a CM7 so is it possible to port the apk file to Stock and how if anything?
The stock rom should have a apk handler with it also, are you trying to download apps from browser and install them? If so just go to settings. Then application . Click unknown resources hit ok, best to have a file explorer to find downloads and install

No really like that, I know how to do that im talking about if i wanted to take a app from the CM7 roms apk file then add it to my SD card and download it to my phone (i know ill still have to do what you said also) but when i do it says "problem parsing the package" but it comes from a triumph rom so how doo i get this to work on the stock roms?
Hmm, just needing the DownloadproviderUI.apk from cm7? Extract from zip then try pushing it to system/apps and fix permissions, then reboot . Should work

That Would work but how do i get it to stick to a rom? like if i added it to the System/app folder then flashed the rom? I got the ICS Keyboard to work by adding the LIB files within the app its self to the Rom then flashed and that works but this app isn't the same.
What from are you going to flash? If its a cm7, it'll be there won't have to do that. If you want to add your apps before you flash decompile add recompile zip then flash

There are a few things that are different with the APK's
if its just a plain old third party app APK, then putting it on the sd card and locating and installing with a file explorer of some sort should work fine
If its a system related app that must be in the system with permissions then theres 2 ways, sometimes one way doesnt work
a. simply open the rom's zip and add it to the system/app folder(sometimes after doing this you'll still need to navigate to the folder and hit install usually itll install itself)
b. the trickier one if a. doesnt work, have the apk on the sd, using a file explorer that will allow you to change permissions, change the system folder from read only to read/write move or copy the apk from the sd card to the system/apps folder, Install it, then switch the folder back to read only and reboot
also keep in mind that if your trying to bring an app from CM7 to Stock some probly just wont work, CM7 is gingerbread based while stock is froyo, gingerbread changed how things like texts, data, camera, and hdmi are read by the phone and how they function or where the files are so it may just not work

How do you get a .apk to execute(or even see it on a sd card in stock device? without market/file browser?

you cant, if it was a System apk then Sometimes, you can put it into the correct folder inside a custom roms Zip and itll install itself
otherwise you need to download some type of file manager so you can navigate thru the folders, then just clicking the apk should pop-up and install menu
