On the stock HTC Inspire 4G ROM there's a program in the app list called "Videos" and it compiles a list of all videos on the local device but also shows videos on DLNA servers on a local network. In some custom ROMs they don't have this application but I use it quite a bit.
Anyone have the .apk file for this or know which .apk file I should be looking for? I tried decompressing the system.img and data.img files and looking through there but I don't know which .apk file it would be or if it's even in there.
Any help?
It should be in system<app<video.apk
Ill extract it from the new uupdate one moment.

I looked in a stock ROM and a few variations of stock ROMs - ones with system.img and data.img or userdata.img files that I've had to decompress using unyaffs and some that were viewable from within WinRAR. Can't find Video.apk or Videos.apk. So I guess the question is that which of these files corresponds to the Video app that I'm looking for and are there any other files that it relies upon in order to function correctly.
I've poked through twopumpchump's stock rooted v2 ROM and I've come up with a list of possible apks for the video application - some because the name might have something to do with a video player, others because I just have no idea what they do lol. Can anybody chime in on what they do?
htcpushmedia.apk
mediaprovider.apk
myhtc.apk
pcscii.apk
pvmtpservicestart.apk
pvwmdrmservice.apk
wispr48_adroid22_signed.apk
I also ran a comparison looking at which apps were present in the stock ROM versus which aren't in the one I'm using now, Virtuous Unity and these are the ones that are not in VU but are in the TPC's stock v2.
htcpushmedia.apk
pvmtpservicestart.apk
wispr48_adroid22_signed.apk
I'm leaning towards pushmedia so I'm going to test it and find out.
Edit: Nope, not it.
Okay, so after looking for about two hours trying to figure out which .apk is for this application, I've run dry of ideas. Hopefully someone can help.
I haven't Been on a computer so as soon as I get on one. Ill look for you

Old thread bump I know but a XDA search for Videos apk brought this thread up.
I recently started using UberMusic as my main Music player, so I decided to disable the default Music player by renaming it to Music.bak, I then realized that it also removed the Videos icon from my Launcher as well. As soon as I enabled the Default Music player again by renaming it to Music.apk the Videos app reappeared in my Launcher. I'm assuming the two are linked together somehow or are really just the same app. I am no dev or anything so I hope this helps some of you with your problem.

HTC Sense's People app can't sync individual Google contact groups, for some reason. The stock Android Contacts app can.
Is it possible to replace the former with the latter? This thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795178) suggests no, but I can't find any information online or xda about the Rosie framework or precisely what you can modify in HTC Sense.
What I attempted was to rename HtcContacts.apk to blah.apk.bak and trying to install a stock Contacts.apk I found online, but I got a strange 'sbin/sh: pm not found!' error using 'adb install.' Simply pushing Contacts.apk to /system/app was not enough (the People app obviously wasn't available anymore but neither was the stock Contacts app).
Put stock contacts apk in system/app and rename it to htccontacts.apk

Bumping because I am interested in this as well. I can't find a trustworthy place to get the stock contacts.apk. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks.

Maybe I posted this in the wrong thread.
What I'm trying to do is replace the stock people app to one from another HTC phone. I have the EVO 4G but it does not have the ability to filter the google contacts like most of the other HTC phones.
Can anyone help with this?
Bumping an old thread but I am wondering exactly this, due to various reasons I have to stick with a Sense based ROM, I have root. Can I replace People with a stock Contacts apk? If so, how!
I accidentally deleted the smartshare app when i rooted my phone thinking i didn't, need it. If some one could offer me help on getting and reinstalling it that would be great.
I did the same thing. It doesnt seem to effect anything, although I didnt realize there was a smartshare option in the Wireless & networks menu. I havent tried to enable it in fear of a never ending force close, I'm going to see if there is a way I can re-install it.
Smartshare apk
This is from another post around here that has all of the original apks the phone came with, but I can't seem to find it off hand.
Thanks. To the OP just put the smartshare.apk back into system/app reboot and it will be back
just use twonky much better than smartshare even stream youtube vids
thank you

for me smartshare.apk does not work on CM7. it always FCs
that app cannot be instainstalled on my phone is there a particular way I should go about installing it?

You need to move it into /system/app with a file manager that has root permission like Root Explorer and then change permissions on the app. Should have all 3 Read sections checked and the Write section for Owner and that's it. Reboot phone and should be good. You could also get a update.zip and use an archive manager to move the app into the zip then flash.

I was trying to put dlna app from a ginger rom (ms2ginger) on cm7, but i keep getting FC error anytime i'd tried to open.
here is a brief about what have i done:
1. copied Dlna.apk and DlnaSystemService.apk to /system/app
2. copied libdlnahttpjni.so, libdlnajni.so, libdlnaprofileparser.so and libdlnasysjni.so to /system/lib
3. copied dlnaserv to /system/bin
3. copied com.motorola.android.dlna_library.xml to /system/etc/permissions
4. copied com.motorola.android.dlna.jar to /system/framework
Check all permissions, it seems to be ok
I think a lot of people who uses cm7 will like to have this one on their rom, so if anyone have a workaround for this, please, give some ideas...
P.D: I'm claiming for some help from devs kings
Here is a logcat of the FC:
dlna is a blur dependant????
Been trying to do this as well, found two apps on Market that work the same and/or better. BubbleUPnP for streaming, MX Video Player for local renderer.
Cheers!
Try imediashare. Quite good.

Exactly!!! That's why I tried to get a functionally workaround for dlna on cm7, but without help of cm7 for defy devs (Eg @quarx, @epsylon3, @maniac103), I don't think it's possible...
they are so busy trying to make ics work on defy that this is just a not worthy problem for them...

So as many of you have already heard, Instagram dropped for we Android users about a week ago. Google Play won't let me find the app, so I downloaded the latest apk and installed it using a file manager. The app does everything fine except let me upload photos. It'll allow me to take/choose a photo from my gallery, crop it, but crashes at the filter screen. Has anyone looked into this at all, or am I just gonna have to avoid this app until I choose to upgrade my phone?
Oh, and I'm running CM7 if it matters at all.
100 Views and no responses? Looks like we're all screwed huh? XD
Might be. Didn't know about this program until today.
avoid app until you upgrade your phone i ran into similiar problems with my hero
I managed to get working by downloading and installing the apk itself

Hi all,
Just a quick question. For some reason I can't get any music players other than the built in one with ES File Explorer to find the music (.mp3s) that I've transferred over from my pc. I tried downloading some using a browser and those ones are picked up by the players just fine.
What I've tried so far:
Copying files to different folders.
Tried stock Htc player, Google music player and Shuttle player.
Wiped Caches.
Reboot phone.
Media Scanner app from play store.
I checked and there is no .nomedia file anywhere.
The only thing that I haven't tried is reflashing the Rom, but that will be a last resort.
As I already mentioned I can play them using the ES File Explorer also the File explorer that comes with ViperXL.
Currently running ViperXL 3.2.8 with stock kernel. I've had the phone for about 6 months and about 2 months being rooted and running Viper. This is the first time that I've ever tried to use this phone to play music (other than streaming).
So, anyone have any ideas.
Thanks.
Open music player by touching widget. Touch the arrow by now playing and open up my music. Select songs from the dropdown and start playing them. It will start connecting to that folder.

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately that only works on music that I downloaded from the internet to the phone, it still doesn't show anything for the stuff that I transferred from my PC.
That is strange. I transfer music from my external drive all the time. Always works for me. Have you tried restarting your phone after putting songs in the music folders?

Yeah, several times. Question: is there any options during the rom install that I might have opted out on that are media related?
I only remove the social media and a few others like drop box, printer etc. I'm sure certain things would effect the way music player functions.

Look for any .nomedia on sd card and erase, next go to app mgr and delete data /erase cache for music /gallery and anything related manually. Reboot in recovery wipe dav and cache , good to go now

There's a media scanner app on the market that will fix it up.

I just figured since the OP said as a last resort they would reflash the ROM I would TRY and provide an option which doesn't require them to do this.
I experienced the same issue and a dirty flash didn't fix it and I didn't have the time to wipe and reflash at the time and this was able to get my music up and running in a couple of minutes.

in his first post he says that app didnt work for him-_-
Thanks everybody for your input. I pretty much figured out what the problem is (sort of). It seems that music files transferred over the network using ES File Explorer aren't seen by the music apps. I transferred the same files via usb and even Airdroid and those all seem to work fine. At least I can play my music on my phone now, but it's unfortunate that I can't use ES File explorer, because I really liked how convenient it was.
