It's because HTC has modified the one for the One X more than likely. And as it is, it probably won't work on the Iconia in stock form.
You can try porting the app to the Iconia.

i would do so if i would know how to extract it from the oneX... im not very firm with modding

There are multiple ways to do this:
1. This would require root on your htc one x.
Go to /data/app and search for the gallery. Copy and paste it on your sd card or internal memory (/data/sdcard) and transfer it to your tablet.
Then try installing the apk and see if it works.
2. This would require root on both your htc one x and your acer iconia tab a700.
Install the app Titanium Backup root. Open up the app and search in Back-up/Restore for the Gallery app. Then tap it and choose for Back-up!. Then go to your internal memory (or sd card if Titanium Backup installed on the sd card) (data/sdcard) and transfer the folder TitaniumBackup to your tablet. Now install Titanium Backup root on your tablet and go to Back-up/Restore. Search for the gallery (probably grayed out with a line through it. If you can't find it, search for the already installed gallery, tap it and press restore.
3. Try making an .apk file from the gallery on your htc one x. I think I've seen an app doing that with root permissions, but can't find/remember. So I found a way which would NOT require root on your htc one x.
Install the app Save Master. I don't know how it works, 'cause I've never been using it before, but you probably can find that out yourself
4. This is not actual porting, but you can search for the internal name of the app (with Link2SD and search for it on Google.
To find the internal app name, launch the app and search for the gallery. You'll see the location of the app, probably something like this:
/system/app/com.htc.gallery.apk. Then take the part after the / and search for it on Google. If you can't find it, try adding htc one x to your search.

Install titanium backup without market

I flash roms a lot and there is something I need to find a fix for.
Once the flash is done I boot up and start initial phone setup menu. I have to sign into my google account at this stage obviously. So once that's done the first thing I want to do is restore my apps with titanium, so I go to the market for it, but the market straight away starts downloading ALL my apps at once when I only want TB to download. Only way to stop it is to go through the entire app list and cancel all the downloads, which takes a while. I cant let the downloads go ahead as it's far too many megabytes.
So I want a way to install TB without using the market. I've tried creating the update.zip in TB options and the zip does get created, but when I flash it from recovery it doesn't install.
Can I get the apk from somewhere and install it that way (I know you can push from cmd prompt although I've never tried it), and if so is there a way to do it on the phone only, as I often flash roms when I'm away from the computer.
When you enter your google credentials, it'll ask you if you want to back up your data. Uncheck it. Once your past that screen go into settings > privacy and assure automatic restore is unchecked.
The apks are in /data/app/ by the way.

I'm very familiar with these options. I always leave the option to backup to google ticked in case I ever need it (unlikely), but I always have auto' restore unticked, so I'm pretty sure that the automatic downloading of my apps is because the market app recognizes that I own them all when I sign in with my google account, and not because of auto' restore - but correct me if I'm wrong.
So how would I install TB using the apk. Does it have to be done with my computer? Is there another way. Root explorer would be great, but I'd have to install that the same way, which renders it useless in this particular case. What do all you experienced people do to get round this. Or do you just get through it the same way I do???
You can extract your TB using root explorer and save it on your sdcard. Sometimes its stored in /system/app or /data/app.
Usually roms come with a file explorer, so once you have a rom installed go to its file explorer and install your backed up TB. That's how I usually do it. Hope that helps.

markfavis,
you the man Your post helped me figure some stuff out. Your thanks meter just went up by a point.
I use ns_collab most of the time and I did not realise it came with root explorer preinstalled until you mentioned roms coming with a file manager. I did a bit of research and discovered root explorer is preinstalled with ns_collab. I never realised it was part of the rom as I already own root explorer so TB always restores my copy.
I've already made a copy of the TB apk files, so I reckon i've got this sorted for next time I flash a rom.
Just one more thing to check. The apk files I have backed up are:
com.keramidas.titaniumbackup-1.apk
and
com.keramidas.titaniumbackuppro-1.apk
Is this all I need to
I think you only need one of those files. One of em is the pro version. I only have one file and I install it like a regular apk file.

I've got the pro version - so I think this must be right. If you are on the free version and only use one file then I'm cookin

Hi,
Perhaps,you should consider ROM CLEANER
It makes a copy of all your apps,and re-installs them into your next ROM.
Copy /data/apps to sdcard and after flashing back to /data/apps and reboot

[Q] Help w/ apps after new ROM

Hey guys not sure if this is the right spot but had a question.
I recently flashed cynogenMod 7.2 on my inspire (att) everything was succesfull and i really love the ROM. However, I have no apps now. I did do a search (including the ones that pop up upon creation of this thread.)
I also dont have the market place/google play. I saw a site that claimed you just download the .apk file and move it to the support/apps folder (at least this is what i found worked for some) If i try to install the apps (by going to the site, weather.com for example) it tells me the app is already installed.
I dont believe i backed them up using titanium or anything like that. I just flashed the new rom. (actually flashed a few to see what i liked) If i can just get the market place and install apps from there ill be square.
Again sorry if this is such a noob question. thanks for such an awesome forum!

You can just unzip a rom on computer and take apk out of it in system-app folder. If you have es file explorer use it to install or root explorer to place in right place.
Also if T's not called market if its updated its called play store so you might have it but looking in wrong place blood under p in app drawer.

so basically i can take the cynogen zip file, open it on my pc, put the .apk for the google play store, put it in the ROMS syste/apps folder, then replace this zip file for the one thats on my sd card? or will i need to reflash from the new zip file with the google play in it?
I guess you are looking for the Google Apps. They are called gapps. Look in the CM post where you downloaded the ROM. There is a link for gapps.
All CM threads have a link for google apps or Gapps usually in the first thread. Look there. Do a search on google for "Google Play Store 3.5.16 download". Not sure if it is the most recent but it should be close. Just install it like a normal app.
Dang-it, kimtyson beat me by 2.83 seconds. lol
found the correct gapp file but how do i install it?
note: i installed one from an apk file but it crashed everytime i ran it.

you have to flash the zip file (GAPPS) in CWM recovery...install zip file....don't unzip it...
alright guys, figured out how to install from the recovery page but its still not working, it all installs fine, but when i run it says 'server error.'
one is an older gapp build the other is the newest one, both did the same thing.

Use the file manager or other root explorer, find the file and keep press...when options prompt then press properties. You will get a large number (alphanumerical) just compare it with the one provided...
If not, use the adb commands...open a cmd session and go to where the file is (usually in the root of the sdcard) then type MD5sum "name of the file"

basically all i did was find a few roms to try out, flashed one, if i didnt like it i would flash the other. one hung up and wouldnt boot so i flashed cynogen back from a backed up installation.
from there ive tried just installing gapps of 2 different types from the option "install zip from sd card."

Also make sure that the GAPPS you are flashing is for the CM version you have flashed....don´t flash CM7.2 and GAPPS for ICS cause it won´t work...
got it figured out, somehow i found a link that listed a ton of builds for the gapps, but then i found 2 seperate links that were to individual builds, those were what i needed. thanks for your help guys!

[Q] Stock browser apk

Hi friends
I tried replacing my HTC One S's stock browser but failed, now I can't for the life of me get the original back to work. Anything I install that would fill the gap of the original browser force closes.
Anyone knows how I can get the original HTC One S stock browser back?
I'm rooted and with Titanium Backup.
To be honest, it doesn't even have to be the original HTC One browser, it could be any ICS stock browser that has Flash capabilities, tabs etc.

Try Dolphin from the Market.
Thanks, but it has to be a com.android.browser.apk browser, not just any browser from Google Play (as long as it works on a stock HTC One S of course).
personally, i use google chrome because it's as good if not better than the stock browser. plus, since you already sign in with your google account to access the play store, it will automatically sync your favorites and what not if you use chrome on your regular computer. but it does support flash and has tabs, etc
Did you actually delete the stock browser? Or did you change a setting that is causing the problem?

I wanted to replace it with the stock browser from a different device through Titanium Backup, so yeah, it's gone.
Because I'm always moving through tabs and putting tabs away, the fact that the HTC Sense browser needed an additional click to access tabs each and every time angered me beyond reason. My ICS browser on the Xperia neo was much more practical, so I figured I'd replace it and my problem would be gone. Now I have neither...
I do use Chrome now, which is good except that it doesn't do Flash, but if I can get the regular browser back I expect to be able to get the official OTA updates, which so far are impossible because the updater checks for the original browser.
Edit: from your signature, you have the same device I have, mine is a T-Mobile One S too.

Somehow my Titanium Backup doesn't recognize that file as a backup, though it does appear in the list of apps available within TB (see attached). Perhaps because a properties file is missing?
Anyway I'm told it's impossible to restore a deodexed browser into an odexed device, so I think this can't work... but thanks for trying.

No, this definitely doesn't work with system apps in HTC One S. I did have this option in other devices though, after rooting (Motorola Milestone, Xperia neo).
If at all possible to get the HTC Sense browser it'll be better because then I can install their official update.
JB 4.2 Browser.apk installable without root
So Chrome.apk has been pissing me off lately. It annoys me how Google keeps releasing updates with major usability regressions, (like the fuzzy text), and how the scrolling performance is still terrible compared to stock WebViews.
Was going to sideload AOSP Browser.apk, but as you guys know this requires a rooted device, and I wasn't willing to root my Nexus 4.
Anyways, I finally decided to do something about it a few weeks ago and hacked a few things in AOSP Browser.apk from JellyBean 4.2.2 so that it can run without root. Basically, I accomplished this by changing the name and making private Browser.apk's bookmarks provider so as to avoid conflict with the system. As a side effect, Browser.apk has a different bookmark database than Chrome.apk.
I've been running this for a few weeks and everything seems to work pretty well. Let me know if this works.
For your pleasure the source is available here on GitHub (h**ps://github.com/profiterole/browser.apk sorry too new to post links). For your convenience, a .APK is also available for download from GitHub (linked from readme)
Please note: this APK requires Android Jelly Bean MR1 (4.2), and has only been tested on a Nexus 4. I would also encourage you NOT to sign with your google account as this hasn't been tested and may overwrite any bookmarks you have synced.

I definitely wouldn't mind grabbing the basic browser.apk, moreso if possible to install without rooting. I don't know the ins and outs of github though. Am I supposed to download the BrowserActivity.apk file at the end of the page you linked?

No home

So, I wanted to do a factory reset on My old Sensation so I could give it to my dad. I did it, but I forgot that I removed default home application from it. And since I removed my account from it, there is no GoLauncher Ex on it theat I used either, so I can't see any screen, menus, nothing. All I can do is I am able to use notification bar and view settings. I have no backup anywhere. Why did I ever even root you ask if I am not computer or phoney savy, well, because I wanted to remove some apps, so here I am now. Any ideas?

Could I simply install GoLauncher on it somehow?
IF you have a another android phone or a computer you could enable bluetooth and send the apk file wich is go launcher. You can search Google "go launcher apk download".

You can install it by using sdk using a computer but my guess is that you dont know how to do that so just download the official ruu if you are bootloader lock or there are many stock rooted roms if u have s-off and have a custom recovery...
I mean no disrespect by assuming u cant flash an apk through sdk on a pc...
Forgot to mention there is a third and easier way which is to find a launcher zip that can be flashed on recovery like touchwiz from the galaxy s3 then you can flash then you can install any other app out of the play store and remove or keep the flashed launcher just in case you reset the phone again...

Best thing to do is. Download golauncher apk file to your computer then either you send it via Bluetooth,or you can create or have account in any file sharing site eg. Box or dropbox. Uploaded to that then make file as for sharing to friends, you will get specific wab address to access that file then download from ur phone. You will see download in dropdown notification menu install file from there.

Thanks guys, you are right, I don't know how to flash, no offence taken, I just wanted to share an easy solution, perhaps someone messes up like I did some day, in settings I went to TTS and pretended to want to download English files. That lauched Market for me and I just downloaded Go Launcher from there. I was just veeeeery lucky.
