I love this ROM. I wanted to get back the HTC Stocks app on this ROM. Does anyone have the apk? If i just install the apk will it work?
Thanks.
Pratik
I have been able to find these three files from Scotts 1.85 Stock ROM. These apks failed to install. Should I just place them in the /Systems/App folder to install?
EDIT: Looks like that worked. The app didnt show up in the app drawer, but I was able to add a shortcut using ES Explorer's App Manager.

Does anyone have the original clock apk ? I'm running black edition which is bad ass! But I really like the stock clock better because of the smart alarm. I looked for a replacement on the market. And I can't find it here either. Any help would greatly appreciated.

Download the Rom that has the clock you wish to use. Open it up with an archival program (I use WinRAR) and navigate into the system/app folder. This folder will contain clock.apk, as well as other system apps you may recognize.
Just copy that file to your phone SD card, use a file explorer with root access to copy/paste the file to /system/app on your phone, overwrite the clock.apk and then reboot for good measure. And that's it!
This is generally callled 'pushing' a file. Hope that does it for ya!
Edit: if you do not have access to a computer you can most likely use you file explorer to open and extract the archive. My preference is ES File Explorer.

If you are using Titanium Backup you can just restore it from there or pull it from an older nandroid backup.

Try Caynax alarm clock from the market.
It's awesome.

The clock in Raver's latest release is not what was being asked for. This apk has been tested and works in Final-Fixed VB.
ADD: Just realized if you want the smart alarms you will need to copy the sounds into /system/media/audio/ui folder.
Wi-Fi Proteccted network issue
Guys, with ICS 4.0.4 I cannot access my home WiFI (Cissco router). ICS shows (protected network available) and stuck on ObtainingIP... I cannot see any WPS (protected network settings ) in this ROM. The router settings are Manual (not protected WIF), so I cannot change anthing in the router. Any deas?
Note: Pls disregard thispost. it is for SGS2. I cannot find how to delete/move it
What is black edition? Is that a name or a description? Im using Kholer Clock and I like that but I'm always open.
It is a ROM for the SGS4G that the stock smart alarm was removed from.
Can anyone tell me how to remove the bluetooth apk that came with cm7nightly's and replace it with one from a previous build? I presently have bluetooth share vesion 2.3.7 but I here version 1.6.1 is the one that I can replace it with. Can anyone help?
Lg-E739 running cm7nightly's
Use a tool like SD Maid(AppControl->Remove app), Titanium Backup(Backup/Restore list -> Remove App or any file explorer (Browse to /system/app) to remove the old file and just replace it with the new one.
Ok, sounds good but where do i get the bluetooth apk?

It might not be possible. HTC apps require HTC framework. Its only present in HTC roms, so i dont think u can have it in CM.

Well,
are you sure about this? It would be quite a dissapointment for me
Stock ROM for Explorer is Gingerbread. CM9 is Ice Cream Sandwich.
It won't work with CM7 anyway, it needs com.htc.resources to work.
If you hate the Messaging app that much, try picking up an alternate messaging app from Play.
Well its not just the messaging app but many others as well.seems like I have to stick to the stock rom

Tell me which apps you don't like and your CM version. I'll find some alternative apps for you.

Actually I don't hate cyanamod apps as muvh but the thing is that the stock htc apps are suited to me with great display ,features and is suited to me.I want the mail app as well.stock htc apps are really owesome and according to my needs

I have used both messaging apps and both are really buggy.when I send nearly 60-70 messaging in a time interval of 5 minutes the app says 'a lot of messages are sent so do you want to send messages' (a message like this) and I have to press ok for each message being sent and if you don"t message won't be sent.this is a bud .moreover while message is being sent and if you go through your conversation then at the instant at which message is sent the conversation drops to last message and you have to scroll back.These are serious bugs for me and I have used these apps .with stock app no such bug ,I have observed this million times

Thanks man! I was searching for a good messaging app. :good:
Apps from GB may / may not work with ICS.
The apps that you extract from system are not installable ones.
If you want to try xyz.apk, copy and make a backup of one you are going to replace. Remove current xyz.apk from /system/app and replace it with the one you have taken from stock or any rom.
Remember to set the permission as "
x x
x
x "
Restart your phone.. if it has to work it will appear in your app drawer.
Use root explorer.. mount R/W to copy and paste. Many apps require lib files too.. so you need to know which app requires which library file. If you replace an apk.. you will have to replace related lib files too!!
can i make a rom which has almost all the properties of a stock rom... bt a change in apps like messaging app and contacts app??? coz i really liked those from remICS v1.7
Yep. Just delete them and replace them in system/app

Hi,
I'm not an android developement expert but have a question about your advice.
If we delete only the app from /system/app folder (and nothing more. via root explorer), won't it cause trouble?
I would like to give an example for clearing this issue in my mind. In windows, if we just delete the exe file from the Program Files, it doesn't mean we uninstalled the program. It still lefts dll files etc. Is it like this in android?
I asked this because I wanna uninstall the apk's in my custom rom like Google Player or DSP Manager. The developer installed them inside the custom rom, so they look like system apps and as a result I can't uninstall them...
replace them via root explorer and check the permission for new file then restart your device and it will work

adroid system are module style, a apk consist of every thing needed to run the apps. but some app need extra lib file, if you can find the lib file used by a apk to run, than you can delete it form system/lib too.
Exactly what the post above said. Some system apps have .lib files (like windows dll) but i would leave them if i were you because your replacement apps might have dependancies on those lib files. Im not entirely sure.
Also, the libs are stored in system/lib

nono ...i copied the apk files from an ics rom tried to put in gingerbread rom...and whie installing i got this error!!
Apps specially for ICS won't work in gb roms. These 2 version of roms are quite different.
Pls don't simply mess up with the roms version.

Btw, if you back up your original rom's apk files, there is a chance to use them on your custom roms. It has a higher chance if your custom is based on your original rom.
For example, I backed up samsung's music player and photo editor apk on original DDLF2 and installed them on my custom Frankestain rom. Now I'm using them with no problems. I must mention, the original fm radio apk didn't work on custom rom, as it needen some special libraries/frameworks.
For those of you (like me) who absolutely hate the new YouTube app..... I have uploaded the native gingerbread one for your pleasure. Searched for one and couldn't find it so here you go...

All i did was use file explorer go to system/apps in root directory, uninstalled it since my custom rom made it a system app and then installed this one. For those who got it from google play just uninstall that one and install this one. Signing in and everything works. Enjoy .
