I really like the google news and weather app that is on my phone. Is there any way to get it working on the Fire? I tried placing the apk in my /system/app folder and changing permission but upon reboot it was not showing up in my app drawer. There must be more involved.
Anyone know?
Thanks
Beautiful Widgets has some nice weather apps but they are not from Google.

I know what you mean. I pulled the APK from my HTC Inspire 4G and sideloaded it on KF. It even works with-out rooting. You have to give it a zip code to make it work, but thats no big deal.
If you don't want to type a zip code in and want to use geolocation you could install a modaco custom rom. The rom has built in network location and play store. You should only do this if you have already rooted and installed twrp. What you have now is probably fine.

So it sounds like you got it working then. Would you mind uploading the apk you used? Are you using a stock ROM by chance or something else on the Fire?
If you have play store you could download it and get the version for the kindle fire

Thanks, I will grab it and try it out when I flash back to a stock type rom. I am trying out CM7 right now and it has the app installed. Hopefully this one will work with a stock rom.
Thanks
Well I got it installed on the stock rooted rom I am running but it will not show up in the app drawer I can open it through titanium backup though. Seems weird it will not show in the app drawer. Unfortunately I have no way that I know of to get it to my favorites and not have to go through titanium backup to open it. Wiping dalvik and cache didn't work, nor did clearing the launcher data.

Easy experiment to get MediaHub updated working with our leaked froyo
Easiest way to get this working on your device if you use Titanium is to
1. Extract zip
2. Place all 3 files in the root folder of TitaniumBackup on sdcard
3. Search for 'hub' in the filter and restore

IM sure you can push these adb to their respective locations. You can use root explorer to run a search and sniff out where they are hiding. I know most of us swear by titanium as use it regularly so I sought this method

May I turn this into a flashable zip, as well as include it as an option for my ROM?
Either way on the .zip, you can simply flash this via clockwork.

hey guys just something i thought i would share it with everybody!!
my market app automatically updated to 2.3.6 couple days ago, im not sure if everyone else has this, however im attaching the market apk, instructions (for starters) and screenshots!! POST FEEDBACK FOR OTHER USERS!!!
Instructions.
1.download apk manager from market.
2.download attached apk.
3.open apk manager.
4.select downloaded apk.
5.it should overwrite old market.
OR
2nd instructionds
1.Downolad root explorer (google it)
2.download attached apk.
3.open root explorer (must be rooted)
4.hold downloaded apk then select move
5.move it to system/app and thats it!
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!!!!
Cheers for the download. The market I'm running looks identical as far as I can tell.. do you know if there's anyway to check the version of what market you have?
Yes indeed you can download atrackdog from the market and it should say version number you have and wether there is an update or not
Sent from Inc via premuim app
Menu/apps/all or running/market.... it will say what version you have at the top... I don't think all of the roms are setup to work with any market

I am running Cyanogen 6.1.0. It has the old market. I downloaded the apk you provided, then used APK Manager to install it. It reported the application was not installed and sure enough I still have the old Market.
Any ideas how I can upgrade?
Umm weird, it should overwrite the old market
Try deleting old market using root explorer the ln reinstall new market

I did try delete the old Market using Titanium Backup, and it did delete it. Then I installed the new Market using several installers, but the installers all say "Application not installed".
Did you try to move the apk to system/app ? Then reboot?

I did and it just would not show up in my apps. Eventually I came across a file someone put up which I flashed and it did install the new market. So, I am OK now.

I thought I would post this to make it easier to find as it was buried in the gummy charge thread.
Basically, after you get up and running with gummy charge 1.5 or other roms, you may notice the market will be missing apps and you will have a problem downloading a few too. To check to see if your market is working correctly do a search for MLB at bat... if you can't see those apps then you need this fix. The fix is listed below. The fix edits a few lines of code in your build.prop file which gives you all apps in the market no matter what rom you are using. Its completely harmless and will fix issues you are having
1. Download fix.apk from the URL below
2. Install the fix.apk
3. Go into your app drawer and find the app called 'market fixer' and open it. Then select fix.
4. Approve root request
5. Reboot within the market fix app
You should now have all apps in the market and your market downloads should work

If "MLB at Bat" is supposed to indicate that my Market is fixed, I'm not "fixed" yet.

It sounds like you may not have followed my instructions in the original post.
You must install the fix. Apk
You must then immediately find the app in your app drawer called market fixer and open it
You must choose the fix button then accept root request
Then you must reboot within the market fix app

reading that thread looks like the patch isn't "sticking" though.... they're doing it without the GSF patch and maybe that's the problem?

Thanks for taking a look at this issue. I have reviewed these changes and it makes sense why the "DPI Hacked" versions that I posted are not "sticking". The only problem I can see is that the version of GSF in this thread is not matching either the official "20110828" or the official "20120317" ICS version of Google Apps. When I compare GSF versions, I get a lot more changes than just seeing a one line difference in /GoogleServicesFramework/smali/com/google/android/gsf/checkin/CheckinRequestBuilder.smali. Can you tell me what version of GSF was used? It says 2.3.7, but its not the same as my version.
Also, all the changes made in your DPI modified version of Vending.apk seem ok, except, I'm not sure why there are changes to res/menu-v11/actions.xml and some of the other resource files. The "cleanest" way to package this is to copy the modified classes.dex into an unaltered version of Vending.apk. This way, apktool will not do anything funny to the resource files and doing a file comparison will not show a bunch of unwanted changes.
I would also like to mention that these files will not work for ICS or any DPI other than 240.
Attached are my logs of the file comparisons to the original versions. Thanks.
Is this one working with ics?
Got the .15 version working with 182DPI and it doesnt revert using density modder.

Seems you also have to install the GSF for it to work.

I can confirm this as well on Nexus S (240dpi) with AOKP M5. I never use Talk on my phone though so for me it's an acceptable bug.
jastonas said:

The GSF apk has "signature" protection enabled in it's AndroidManifest.xml. You could either change "signature" to "normal" so the protection is disabled, or you could resign the other apk's (such as talk.apk) so the signature matches. For example, if I modify GSF.apk and sign it with my "test key", then the signature protection within the apk will only trust apps that are signed with the "test key".
This doesn't seem to be working for me. I cleared Market data, copied both APKs and rebooted, and now I have the latest Play Store version but still I can't install a lot of apps -- mostly they don't even show up when I search on the phone.
After rooting my S3, I got a little over zealous uninstalling all the bloatware. As such, I mistakenly deleted the alarm clock (ya know, the one that works with S Voice). Does anyone have the apk for the stock touchwiz alarm clock? The only downloads I can find are modded versions ported for other phones.
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to download a stock rom and search the zip. Normally they are located in the \system\app directory. Make sure you match permissions with other system apps.

Hi there, this is how i fixed my alarm problem
firstly download the clock apk relavent to your phone, i think that there are 3 different ones provided in this thread.
Secondly you need to download something from the play store called "Rom toolbox pro" its £3 but if you ask in the forums here someone can probably point you to a free one that does the same thing.
make sure your phone is rooted, install and run Rom toolbox pro. click on Root Browser, navigate to where you put the APK on your phone, copy and move it to root/system/app. Once you have moved the apk find it in the app folder, click and hold it for a couple of seconds. A menu should popup with options, click on "permissions" set them so they are like this. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2pphiyo&s=6 If you are using a different app you will need to set your permissions accordingly, yet again im sure there is someone on here clever enough to help with that.
Now just restart your phone, the APK will run on boot.
These are the exact steps i followed and they worked for me. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2h353dl&s=6
I hope you have the same luck
