A friendly forum member provided me with some files to install for applications included in most roms available... voicedialer and footprints.
I succesfully installed VoiceDialer.apk by following these commands..
1. adb push VoiceDialer.apk /data/local/tmp
2. adb shell pm install /data/local/tmp/VoiceDialer.apk
3. adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/VoiceDialer.apk
Tried it right away, and it indeed worked. I usually just install apps from the downloaded file manager but figured I'd expand my horizons and try it this way. I don't recognize this way of doing it, I thought it was basically adb push /system/apps_s (or something like that), but this is all I could find quickly on how to do it.
None the less, I tried the same thing with Footprints, and was given this error via adb..
"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]"
Google result..
"Installation return code: this is passed to the IPackageInstallObserver by installPackage(android.net.Uri, IPackageInstallObserver, int) if the new package failed while optimizing and validating its dex files, either because there was not enough storage or the validation failed."
All chinese to me
So I tried installing Footprints via linda file manager.. and get the genreal "footprints could not be installed on this phone"
I also have .odex files for both the footprints app, and the footprints widget app.. i don't know if odex files are necessary though, as the system might create them on their own
Can anyone help me with how to install Footprints? I Don't understand why Voice Dialer installed but Footprints is no go..
Thank you.
edit: forgot to mention.. voicedialer does not seem to work quite right. I tell it exactly what to do.. "call joe blow on mobile" and it still pops open an option screen for joe blow, and if i click on one of the options it force closes. But saying "open calendar" seems to work. Just not phone numbers i guess?
Any ideas anyone?
Try
adb remount
adb push Footprints.apk /system/app/Footprints.apk
adb push Footprints.odex /system/app/Footprints.odex
What'st he difference between system/app and system/app_s? Is app_s just a different link to the app directory or is it something different?

isnt footprints a thing from hero? it might be the fact you are using a non hero rom? alot of hero apps seem to be closely tied in with hero overlay making it unusable for a non hero rom. which rom are you using?

This worked, thanks. Pushing to app_s seems to cause error, no errors with doing it this way.
Can you tell me if your phone started crashing when doing this??
If you miss the framework, then yes it will crash.

i accidently deleated com.htcworld clock. I have both the apk and odex files but have no idea how to get them back on my phone. i dont have any of the sdk files from when i rooted either. anyone know how to get that file back on my phone?
Hello,
I have rooted my X10 and I have R2BA020 and I have removed some apps with Titanium, nothing like Mediascape or Timescape. I have removed Moxier, GTalk, Quadrapop and user manuals. Obviusly I have uninstalled something that I shouldnt ( me IDIOT didnt make backup of those apps in Titanium !! ). Now whenever I start my phone I get this message that it has failed to start and I must press Force close. I have found some solution that I delete data from Google Apps and Gmail in Settings -> Applications but it seems to work one time because when I entered my data again in Gmail I got it again when I boot my phone.
Please, can anybody help me ? Maybe give me GTalk and other app that was below it as .apk so I can install it ?
Tnx a lot !
Removing GTalk was a terrible idea.
I see that now I have found X10 dump and installed Talk.apk and gtalkservice.apk and I got GTalk icon but when I press it I get that message again. I dont get it when I go in Gmail or Market, they are working.
Any other help, please ?

You have to push them to /system/app, not just installed regularly
Ok, thanx. How do I do that ? I really have no idea how to do this, I have installed them only like any other .apk.
Thank you very much !
Assuming you put the two apks on your sdcard..
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtd2 /system
dd if=/sdcard/gtalkservice.apk of=/system/app/gtalkservice.apk
dd if=/sdcard/Talk.apk of=/system/app/Talk.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Talk.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/gtalkservice.apk
reboot
I put them on root of SD card right ?
Only one last thing, how and where should I copy&paste those commands ? Can you please tell me step by step, I would really appreciate it because I dont want to flash my phone again. Connect the phone on my PC and then Start -> Run or how ? I can see that you are professional and it is very hard for me to understand how to do this.
Thank you SO MUCH !
Android terminal app, YOU NEED NOT WORRY ABOUT THE COMMANDS BUT CAN MANUALLY COPY THE INSTALLED APP FILE FROM sdcard/gtalkservice.apk TO SYSTEM/APP/ ENABLING R/W OPTION TOP LEFT IN ROOT EXPLORER.
I need terminal app on my phone or on my PC ? Here:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.android.term
Manually copy this Talk.apk and gtalk.apk file to system/app ? How can I do that ? I dont know how to enter system/app folder on my phone ? Also those read-write permissions, where do I change that ? Can I do it with Astro File Manager ?
Please explain me like to an idiot coz Im not far from that
And on the end, should I uninstall Talk.apk and other one first since I have installed them just like regular .apk app ?
Is this Root Explorer that I need:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
Tnx a million !
I go in this Root Explorer and cannot copy Talk.apk from SDCard to system/app, it says that file system is read only. When I long press on Talk.apk in SDCard and go in Permissions there is no tick in User row, only in Group, then I tick Read and Write and OK but when I press ok ticks are gone again and I cannot copy that in system/app folder then.
Please guide me how to do it.

I have typed this in Better Terminal and apps have installed in system/app and they have permissions there but I still cannot get in GTalk on my phone, I get the sam error ? Is there any extra steps to make it work ? I have checked them in Root Explorer to see if they have R/W permissions.
Tnx a lot

They need to be signed with the same signature as the system afaik. You'll need GTalk and the other app from an x10 build.
I have downloaded Talk.apk and gtalkservice.apk from X10 dump. What do I need more ? I think I will have to flash the phone again since obviusly there is no solution for this...
Tnx
Hey,
I had the same pb and the code on the 1st page worked for me.
Put those 2 .apk files on the root folder of your sdcard.
Write the code on 1st page in Better Terminal. Reboot and you're done !
Good luck
Nope, I have tried it but nothing happened with those last 2 chmod commands and I have reflashed my firmware again and not touching GTalk app
Tnx for the info
Hey guys,
I just rooted my phone, and haven't removed ANY of the google apps and I'm getting this same error... Any ideas?
X
wouldn't hurt to try a re-root
I get also same error, even i've not removed Gtalk. Gtalk works properly
i found these apps so that the error is not repeated all the apps should moved to system/app folder using 644 permissions
i have attached the files at the end
Removed Gtalk
ok, so yesterday I was using Gtalk on my samsung captivate to chat with some friends,until i wanted to sign out and go onto another of my google accounts to chat with other people. but when i clicked sign out it simply closed the app then when i reopened it, it was still on my other account. well me being the impatient person that i am decided to use my root power and remove gtalk and try to reinstall it later.....WRONG.... now i keep getting an error... (com.google.process.gapps. has unexpectedly closed. well i though ill just factory reinstall getting rid of the error. so Now i cant download anything on android market to get the explorer back because i cant use 3rd party apps again because my settings.db was reset! so i need lots of help.. running Ubuntu 10.04 so that makes the process even harder for a noob like me -.- any help is appreciated in advance
If I had known I wouldn't be able to sync my Facebook contacts without this I wouldn't have removed it.. Can someone extract/upload the APK so that I can reinstall it without having to flash my DamageControl ROM all over again? I found an APK on another site but it doesn't seem to be working (v1.0, size is 160.73K)
Can someone please help?
*bump*
Am I really going to have to reflash the ROM?
you can easily extract the apk from the rom yourself; if you have the DC rom on your computer, just open it using winrar or some other program and go to system/app and find the app you need; then just push the app to your phone system/app
Thanks so much! I didn't know it would just be sitting in there in the zip ready for me to extract and install it! Your help is greatly appreciated
I don't have it on a computer, could someone post the apk for me?
Pretty please?
here you go
I'm new at all this stuff. Can you explain to me what to do after I download the HtcFacebook.apk. I saved it to my SD card and put the phone in recovery mode and tried to update it that way.
It's not working and I don't know what to do.
Like the previous poster I deleted HTC Facebook not realizing it would cause my contacts to not sync up with FB.
Thank you.

Push the file to /system/app using a root explorer (Root Explorer or ES File Explorer are best ones imo), then fix permissions & reboot

Make sure its permissions match other permissions in system/app. Should be rw-r-r.

i did the same thing with the deleting of the facebook sense and i have done everything on this thread but when i reboot in to recovery i do not see the "fix permissions" is that supposed to be in the root explorer or on the white screen, please help me im a noob
Having the same Problem on the Shadow Hawk Rom. Pushed htcfacebook.apk from saga rom to phone and fixed permissions. Looking good in Root explorer. But i cant add the htc facebook account. No contact pictures and updates in contacts
Maybe need the people.apk too?
update:
uninstalled original facebook app. now it looks fine. contacts + calender sync
I've had issues with Facebook for HTC before also. If you delete/re-add your facebook account in your "Accounts and Sync" it will repopulate your phone with facebook contacts.

Do you mean, copy & paste? Because a "push", in computer admin/network language is to write a script, so that when users login to their account, they have no choice than to accept a file or upgrade, (or what have you) that is being "pushed" upon them, by the network... Sorry to be splitting hairs, but it seems we're making things sound unnecessarily complicated (and inaccurate).
Same issues
Good morning all,
I too was an idiot and deleted Facebook for htc sense, and so far none of the solutions have worked for me. I have a rooted evo (I used unrevoked), and using root explorer. I have downloaded the social app file, tried installing zip from sd card (recovery mode), moved the files to system/app and changed permissions, and then booted into recovery and fixed permissions there. When I go to accounts and sync it says com.htc.bg has stopped unexpectedly. It is my assumption that somewhere in that jumble was a step missed, therefore I dig up this thread for assistance. As always any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

I have tried EVERYTHING I can read. For one thing, when I try
adb install TouchWizCalendar.apk
-> I get an error that says INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT
--> I have 64mb of phone memory, and my phone is rooted...
adb push TouchWizCalendar.apk /system/app
-> Permission Denied
I finally copied the TouchWizCalendar.apk back over along with the odex file to the system/app folder using Root Explorer, but the program isn't in my app drawer, and I can't even access it from my calendar widget on launcher pro.
Any help is appreciated... Thank you
EDIT:: I really don't care if it's the TouchWiz calendar that I install or the default stock calendar, I would just like A calendar... Any help is appreciated.. I'm still trying to get it worked....
EDIT::: I just checked logcat and I'm getting an error "Package does not include classes.dex" when trying to install. Anyone know why?
Okay, I figured it out... Sort of.
If anyone else gets this problem you should go to
forum.cyanogenmod.~com/topic/395-cyanogenmod-5-for-nexus-one-kang-central-station-v508-06192010/
Without the ~ before com. I can't post links.
Download Cyanogen's mod, and extract the file, navigate to system/apps and retrieve Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk. Put those on your phone's SD card and install like any regular apk file.
This worked for me. It's not the TouchWizCalendar, but it's A Calendar, that is working atleast...
Have you tried moving the apk to the phone and installing from there and capture the log, it might give some useful information
I was able to install Google Currents by manually adding the framework from the gapps zip normally used by CM7 and other roms.
I've included a View attachment maps-framework-kfire.zip modified zip (maps-framework-kfire) file with only the files you need. The files are in the folders necessary inside the zip. As we can't flash zips from recovery like other devices yet (that I know of) you'll have to put the files in manually. As this uses google services you probably need to have View attachment GoogleServicesFramework.apk installed already in your /system/apps directory (to do this if you haven't either install the market which will include this step or transfer the GoogleServicesFramework.apk there and chmod to 644 like the others below [do this before you reboot as it will be required])
1. Extract the zip file on your computer
2. Copy the extracted files to your device
3. Copy com.google.android.maps.jar into /system/framework via ADB or Root Explorer
4. Chmod (long hold select file in Root Explorer and select permissions) to 644 (owner read/write, group read, others read)
5. Copy com.google.android.maps.xml to /system/etc/permissions the same way
6. Chmod that file to the same permissions
7. Restart your Fire to allow it to recognize the new framework
8. Install this APK View attachment Google_Currents_1.0.apk
9. Open the app and select your Google account to continue
This should also allow any other apps to install that require this framework.
Works like a charm, thx a lot.
Good write up. Thanks.
works very well. Good instructions.
thanks
Worked perfectly, you rock rooobbbbb, thanks a million!!
Excellent find and easy to follow instructions. Thank you!

did not work for me :-(
Followed the instructions the files are in the correct locations and the permissions are 644
When I try and install it just says not installed. Rebooted a couple times. The instructions did not seem to mention anything about the features.xml so I also tried adding that to /system/etc/ as well with 644 still no go :-( anyone else not get this to work or run into this then figure out the solution?

I accidentally included that file, I didn't need to use it myself. You could try connecting your Fire to your computer and run logcat to live view the console of the device. That's how I saw that this was needed in the first place.
Sorry, got it working, when I read the path /system/etc/permissions it wrapped in my browser and I only put the xml in system/etc so I had placed the file a level lower. So it was my bad. thanks for the info. So far I really like the app, had been using news360 but this seems a bit nicer even though its still early.
