ok went to flipz 2.1 and now of course protected market apps arent showing, i tried doing the pull method and editing a file but its not working atm with adb, not sure why.
But I do remember a little bit back i just flashed a certain rom and then my market worked fine, not sure if it was something in the rom?
but anyone have that file or an easier way?
I'm trying to get the plain/vanilla dialer onto my DC ROM to replace the HTC dialer. Does anybody know how to do this?
I've found several Contacts.apk files, and have tried installing them. Some install, and some don't. The ones that do, though, force close at some point or another.
I have also tried clearing "Dialer" data, but that didn't help.
I'd love to have the vanilla dialer on this great ROM.
Any ideas?
This theme has it enabled as a choice. Check it out.

Thanks for the tip.
Any idea how to get only the dialer without changing the whole theme?
There is a dialer.apk
Try just pushing that to your phone.
Which Dialer.apk are you referring to?
And do I push it to the location of the original APK, overwriting it? Or do I need to do an adb install of Dialer.apk?
Thanks!
Hey, not sure if this really belongs here, or in General, but since its semi-hacking the system, I'll post here first.
It seems, so far, that Touchwiz isn't nearly as deeply integrated as Sense is, and that at least some of Samsung's Modified Apps can just be backed-up, deleted, and replaced with the stock apps from Android 2.1 (using apps ripped from CM5.0.8 for Nexus 1 for my attempts.)
So, I thought I'd start a list of stock Android 2.1 apps that people have made work on the vibrant. I know a lot of people are waiting for CM or other custom roms and alternate recovery images, but in the mean time, lets start customizing!
I have confirmed the following to work, but only after the original touchwiz apps are deleted from /system/app, then the stock apps are installed via the standard installer to /data/app and cp over to /system/app then reboot
Music.apk
DeskClock.apk
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
GenieWidget.apk
Mms.apk (NEW! added 7/21/2010)
Another pleasant surprise, is that I now have the default Calendar, music, and news & weather widgets on my vibrant!
Again, adb push didn't work for anything since I can't remount with r/w access yet, but a su adb shell allowed me to busybox cp them to /sytem/app once they were installed.
I've tried the same method with the CM5.0.8 LiveWallpapers with no success, so maybe someone else has some suggestions?
My next step is to test out bringing the original phone.apk and contacts.apk/contactsprovider.apk over
7/21/2010
Got the default messaging app from CM 5.0.8 brought over, still having tons of trouble with the default dialer and contacts/contacts provider, samsung has buried their signature for these deep in android somewhere, even outside of /data/system/packages.xml so any attempt to install the CM versions even after removing the Touchwiz apps fail.
cheers everyone!
This was copied from the vibrant section just thought you guys should know. Also the member that wrote it was s0niqu3
Thanks. I've missed my music and News & Weather widgets for the last day or so. Really hoping CM6 gets ported over to the Captivate soon. I'd imagine it probably won't until they have a final 6.0
can you post GenieWidget.apk?
nvm, found it
What method should be used to copy from /data/app to /system/app?
Thanks.
Yup, I love geniewidget weather and news from my Nexus One. So simple, best small weather and news widget out there. grab it over at 4shared .....
Has anyone been able to get the stock 2.1 Calendar and Calendar Service Provider to work?
I uninstalled the TouchWiz versions of both (using Titanium Backup), uninstalled both from "Settings-Manage Applications", rebooted, installed stock Calendar and Calendar Service Provider apk's to the /data/app internal storage (I've already done the side-loading apps mod).
This seems to work fine except for syncing with Google. The calendar sync fails every time which I assume has to do with a Calendar Service Provider install problem. The Calendar still works locally but isn't nearly as useful without properly working Google sync.
Does anyone have any hints for getting this to work or have had success themselves with the Captivate (I know people have got it working with the Vibrant, but their suggestions haven't worked out as of yet).
Oh, and to make matter worse, the TouchWiz Calendar and TouchWiz Calender Service provider both fail when I try to reinstall them.
Is there a list of the names of the TouchWiz apps that need to be removed? Most are obvious but I'm not 100% sure what to remove.
EDIT: I have gotten music, mms, calendar, calendar provider, geniewidget and deskclock all installed correctly on my Captivate.
Just trying to figure out the correct procedure... to install (for example) the Android calendar, should the following steps be performed:
- Extract calendar.apk and calendarprovider.apk from one of Cyanogen's ROMs
- Copy both apk files to sd card and install via the built-in installer
- use busybox to cp each app from /data/app to /system/app
- reboot and enjoy?
Thanks,
Does anyone have a way of uploading the stock browser.apk from the JH2 build? I uninstalled it by mistake, trying to install the stock browser from CM 5.0.8, thinking there was a difference.
When I still had my Dream a few weeks ago, I had CM6, and I couldn't stand the ADWLauncher they put on it, so I replaced it with the stock Launcher2.apk. First thing I did when I got my Captivate and rooted it was I replaced the TWLauncher apk with the stock eclair Launcher2.apk. It was totally baller
Can you post links for these stock 2.1 apps? I would like to try them, but have no way of getting them.

I must know where to acquire this Launcher2.apk you speak of.
Edit: If any of you would like the default Nexus One Launcher2.apk, with the 3D app drawer, confirmed working 100% on my Captivate, here it is.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/01/22/install-launcher-apk-from-android-2-1-onto-2-0-1-2/
Sideload it onto your phone first, and try it, I'm not replacing TWLauncher with it just yet, but it seems like it'll happen eventually.

I'm curious about this as well. I've followed the instructions but when I try to install the Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk via Astro or App Installer I get "Application not installed".
I've removed all remnants of TWCalendar and TWCalendarProvider. I've rebooted after every step. I've pushed the APK's to the sdcard. But still cannot install the stock 2.1 Calendar.
Any suggestions?

You also need to uninstall calendar related stuff from Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications (ie... com.android.calendar and com.android.calendar.provider). Reboot and install the stock calendar apps.

Does anyone know if the stock calendar will work with Exchange? I assume the sync componenent still works and the data is in the internal db - so the stock calendar should display it and phone number and url links should work.
Hopefully someone has tried this.

I just installed the stock Calendar app and don't see an option to sync with Exchange Calendar. Without that I maybe restoring from backup.

I used the apk's from cyanogenmod . com
CyanogenMod Forum> Downloads> Stable Mod> Nexus One
Nexus One update-cm-5.0.8-N1-signed.zip
Also, the trick to getting the stock installed.
I used Titanium backup to uninstall Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk, reboot, then go to application management and delete com.android.calendar and com.android.calendar.provider... reboot, and then I copied the apks from sd to system/app with terminal Emulator.
Is there a noob guide for this? Step by step?
Hey everyone I need some help
I just upgraded my Milestone to 2.2 using dexter's awesome method and it's running amazingly, the problem is I don't seem to have access to all the apps in the market anymore and I just got a car alarm installed that I can control from my phone and I can't seem to download it anymore from the market...
Now I tried using Market Enabler and it still wasn't there so I started to dig deeper and found that I had a Nandroid backup of it on my SD card, but instead of being a normal .APK it's a .ZIP file.
So I need everyone's help in figuring out how can we change this .ZIP into a workable .APK? I tried just changing the extension and it essentially looks like it will install the app but then says Installation Failed... What am I missing guys? There's got to be some way to get the app back!
Its the Viper SmartStart alarm app so if anyone can help me out please!!
