is it possible for me to replace my camera wit the htc camera app that is on the hero rom, and if so where can i get it??
not sure if possible, but it's easy to find out.
all you have to do is download the hero rom and extract the files. go into the system folder and look inside of the app folders and look for HTCCamera.apk OR Camera.apk.
take it and push it to your phone and reboot, it should work or not work you can test. it wont harm your phone. make sure you backup your current camera app first so you can revert if the hero camera dont work. Make a note of what file name your current camera is, and rename the hero camera to be the same thing. then push it.

this is the exact steps you need to take.. first you need adb installed
adb remount
adb pull /system/app/Camera.apk
adb install directoryoffile/HTCCamera.apk
adb install directoryoffile/HTCAlbum.apk
adb shell remount
if it doesnt work or you get a FAILURE when pushing either one of these .apk files just push back your old Camera.apk

ay yi yi... look here... it will tell you exactly how to get ADB up and running... once you do, you will wonder how you ever lived without it...
ADB, Fastboot, Nandroid for n00bs
also, this write up is for the 1.5r2 SDK, the setup for 1.5r3, which is the newest one is exactly the same
IF YOU HAVE THE SDK INSTALLED, THEN YOU ALRREADY HAVE ADB. needed that in caps so you dont go installing stuff u might not need.
if you are on windows, hit start > run. then type CMD, then the dos box will pop up. here you can enter in the commands that palosjr gave earlier.
i was following the directions on the thread posted but when i tried to put the sdk folder in my c/ drive it told me i didnt have enuff space...would it be possible for someone to put the htccamera app into a theme for me?
I tried it but it resulted in following error:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION]
For either one (HTCCamera and HTCAlbum)
ya nm good luck im going to see how it turns out i would love to have HTC camera and Album seems nice.

probably needing some other framework from hero to make this work... i will do some searching for you and see if i cant get it to work. if you guys want the HTC camera, why dont yall just flash jacheroski1.8 or 2.0? both are solid, and in case you didnt hear, all the SMS issues are fixed.
I have ran those roms and ya they are solid but i like to stick with cyanogen roms. Im only really after the ablum app with multi touch. Now that BFS has hit the scene I'm tempted to give a hero rom a look see but i want to see what cyanogen will do next lol.
I looked around in two hero roms and found in the lib folder two *.so files for the camera and one for album. Those are the only files that are named after the apps. On a side note, do the camera and ablum app rely on one another? The reason i ask is the thread was started about the camera app and then it is recommended to push both by adb. Getting album to work is what caught my eye to begin with all though htc camera app would be nice.
Any progress on this front? I tried a couple Hero roms and really liked the camera and gallery. I can't stay on Hero because it doesn't work right with Google Voice dial-thru. Is there a way to get them ported into Cyanogen 4.1.11.1?
Install_failed_already_exists
Interesting... trying to adb install HTCCamera.apk (taken from the Sprint Hero dump) into Cyanogen 4.1.11.1 fails with the message [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]
Doing the same for HTCAlbum.apk gives the message [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]

right now im using Cyanogen v3.6.2 rom and the camera saves the pictures to "100MEDIA" instead of "Camera Pictures" and "VIDEO" instead of "Camera Videos"
any way to change it?
yeah those camera/camcorder apps are the HTC versions, IMO theyre better but if you want the old back you want the google versions, i bet you can get them outta JF 1.5 (not sure) or the dudes1.2b or earlier might have it, i dunno where else you could get it, lemme see if ive got a spare copy layin around...ill check back with ya if ive got 'em...meantime check JF1.5, i think Dudes current release (1.3RC2) has the HTC ones as well, but if you can find a link in his thread for earlier builds, anything earlier than 1.2b should have it...
-BMFC
oh okay I have JF 1.5 saved somewhere
so I have to push the camera / camcorder apk to my phone from JF 1.5 then?
fyi
Just realize that switching camera's your gonna lose zoom function and I think some functionality with wallpapers. Imho it worth getting used to the folders than sacrificing functionality.
You'll have to remove the camera.apk and htcalbum.apk, and replace and remove some library files. But it sounds like you just wanna change the save location. Which there is no option for. Maybe ill crack it open and see if it can be changed.
if you think you have the right ones, yeah...MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU START, JUST IN CASE. ...just go into a terminal on your device and do
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2, /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
to remount /system as read/write, then:
Code:
rm /system/app/camera.apk
rm /system/app/HTCAlbum.apk
exit
this removes the camera AND camcorder (same .apk) and the HTC gallery. The google gallery comes with the camera.apk i think, you shouldnt hafta find a gallery app to replace it once you put the google camera.apk back.
push it with adb and reboot just in case...MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU START. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP. if you're not sure if youve got the right camera.apk, open up the archive for your JF1.5 update and go to /system/app directory and look for a HTCAlbum.apk...if it is not there then you probably have the correct one...THIS MAY NOT BE THE CASE IF YOU HAVE ALTERED OR MANIPULATED THE UPDATE...I CANNOT BE SURE OF THIS SO BE SURE WHAT YOU ARE PUSHING TO YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU DO. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS...IF YOU'RE STILL NOT SURE:
copy the camera.apk to your desktop and rename it, olny adding ".zip" to the end...DO NOT DELETE THE NAME...just add .zip to the end. then open it up and go to the /res/drawable folder and check to see if the icon is different from the one you have now. if its the same dont bother pushing it...hope this helps...be careful.
-BMFC
alright thanks soulife and bmfc187
i'll try it out and see how it goes, if it gives me problems i'll just get used to the folder names
well like i said (and soulife too) the HTC ones are better and def. worth getting used to the folder...but if you really want the old one back then have it at it and let us know how it goes...ive done this before, it shouldnt brick your phone...but backup ur stuff anyways...
-BMFC
Remove the album and the 3 camera library files and replace it with the camera librarys from the jf build too(I think its only 2 files, in lib folder, every *.so file with the word camera in it). The google album is built into the camera app.
So we've found the app/widget now we just need help installing the widget... Any help
-Just take off the .zip and enjoy
Code:
adb remount
adb push HtcFootprints.apk /system/app/HtcFootprints.apk
adb push HtcFootprints.odex /system/app/HtcFootprints.odex
adb shell reboot
Anyone happen to have the apk and odex? I can't find them in any my old Hero builds and would like to use program and widget... Thanks!!!
Ah bummer, I finally find the Footprints.apk and it force closes as soon as it starts on CM 3.6.5

Beats me I don't have a Hero Rom.

thank you!!! ya still was looking for it... Will try it and let you know. You installed box the odex and apk n still it wouldn't work on Hero?
I tried installing just HTC footprints apk and odex via adb just got errors. Might try again later.
I am using a hero Rom on a magic.
i was able to get the odex to the app_s but when i install the widget it gives me error
"Failure [Install_Failed_Dexopt]"
If anyone knows what that means can you please help? Thank You
Yeah that's what I get when trying to install just the normal app from that zip. Can't figure it out as of yet.
When I install the. Apk from this thread it at least installs but crashes on opening. I think we are missing something

Thats weird bc i've used this footprints i've uploaded the whole time and still use it without it crashing. what error do you get when it crashes?
Try this.
adb remount
adb push HtcFootprints.apk /system/app/HtcFootprints.apk
adb push HtcFootprints.odex /system/app/HtcFootprints.odex
adb shell reboot
I was pushing to /system/app_s/ originally and that's what kept giving me the error. I don't know the difference between app and app_s, maybe app_s is just a system link or something.
Anyways, pushed the odex and apk for footprints and the widget, and it works, no crashing so far. widget works too.
it gives me a error: Read-only file system.
and even when i try in rootmanager it wont let me change it to r/w it stays on r/o
Can someone help me? For the longest time I've been running Android Keyboard because HTC's keyboard just doesn't work for me any more. Now I want to get it fixed because Android's keyboard is just miserable.
Every time I click on the HTC Keyboard to type it force closes immediately. Anyone know what that's attributed to?

i just uninstall it through AppManager ... theres an adb command that cyanogen posted a long time ago and i always forget it but ill look for it now .. its something like adb uninstall com.android.htc_ime
EDIT:
here it is:
Code:
adb uninstall com.htc.android.htcime
and then grab HTC_IME from CM Rom and do
Code:
adb install HTC_IME.apk

I may need to try this, since my AppManager seems to not be working properly. After I run the uninstall script, do I just put the extracted HTC_IME.apk in the root folder of my SD card to run the install script?
EDIT: Okay, figured this out! I just put the HTC_IME.apk from the CM-4.1.11.1 ROM zip in my C:\ folder, opened cmd, nav to C:\ and ran those commands. Now HTC_IME Touch Input works!
This was going to be a deal breaker, and I gave up and went back to 4.0.4 until I saw this thread. Thx for the help.
How the noob made it work
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DGFGMI3I
Link above contains Clicker.apk, HTC_IME.apk, and libt9.so from cyanogen's 4.1.11.1 ROM
Code:
Adb remount
adb push \wateverlocation\libt9.so /system/lib
Then copy the clicker to /system/app... then use a FileManager on your phone to install.. I use ASTRO, its FREE...
you could also adb that, but don't recommend it.
Code:
adb push \wateverlocation\Clicker.apk /system/app
adb push \wateverlocation\HTC_IME.apk /system/app
I have tried what you have written, i have pushed it, but when i find it with the Astro manager i only get the option to UNinstall or details.
And when i try adb install from whateverlocation on pc i get:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION]
I have Abyzou ROM.
Forget it, it is installed. But now it force closes before it even opens! What the?!
See post HERE for the properly working HTC_IME.
Also has the text to speech option.
Install as instructed and you should be golden
Nice, thanks! But you know what?? It is TOTALLY oversized! I have a tattoo!
Is this ever gonna end for me!
Just found this on Android Central
Grab the new market apk while its hot
Either get it from the source link on the post or I've attached it below.
Put it on your SD card and then use file explorer to find it and install.
I just installed it on mine and seems to work pretty good. Nicer look than the old market.
How did I know that the Eris would be one of the first places for new apks.
Thanks!!!
wow thanks will try it out.
imma bout to try it
EDIT: It doesnt install with MP3[SPEED] rom that sux
Just flashed this and all i can say is AWESOME! No bugs as of yet.

Try this:
This should pull the market apk currently on your phone and save it on your computer as a backup:
adb pull /system/app/com.android.vending.apk com.android.vending-backup.apk
Then push the new apk. This should rename the file as the previous apk and push it to your system/app folder:
adb push com.android.vending-1.apk /system/app/com.android.vending.apk
Then reboot:
adb reboot
Then try launching the market.
I am going to load it on a GB and XTRSense5 tonight and see how it works. any one else have any input on this ?
Input about how it runs? I am running GSB 3.7 Odexed and it is very stable. It takes a little time to load initially, but after that, I find the user experience much better than the previous market design.

will do. I'll report back later
I'm pretty new to rooting seen, so I appoligize if this question is dumb. But, on my Eris, all I have is a vending.apk file. So, is this the file that I need to replace with the new market apk?
It should run with either name, but I would make sure that you don't have more than one in there. That should be the one that you replace, though.

It's listed as Vending.apk in your screenshot. Same thing happened on my phone (GSB 3.7), and it worked fine after I replaced and rebooted.
Noob, first time posting...
Came to this site on my phone (via xda app). Downloaded file. Hit "open" and it went through the install process but finished with "Not Installed". Any thoughts.
Rooted Eris, Froyo 2.2.1, CM7, KaosFroyo V39
Edit: Never mind. Did the adb pull/push after flashing GSB CM7. Everything works great.
Has anyone seen this......
I can search the Market for games, books, and movies and find results. When I search for apps, I get no matches for my search. I've tried this with multiple versions of the market and multiple ROMs.
I've got content filtering set to show all.
Any suggestions.
Same here. Works perfect.

Hi all,
Was not really sure where to put this apologies if its the wrong place.
I recently created my own analog clock, I'm using CM7 RC0, I simply replaced the clock background .png in the original desktopclock.apk, renamed it, signed it and then installed it through filemanager.
Now, it works fine! I was very happy, until I rebooted my phone today, got back onto the desktop and it had reset to the original anolog clock! Tried it again and sure enough everytime I reboot I have to reinstall the .apk!
Anybody have any idea why on earth this would happen?
Many thanks,
Sean
This was originally brought to my attention with the HTC_IME mod by Jonasl. I installed a themed version over the top of the one already installed by default in /system/app and on reboot the original (quite frankly ugly) keyboard was back...
for some reason I do not know, you have to manually un-install the previous version. Don't know why...
use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644909
to un-install the original apk for the clock, then push your app into /system/app using adb. reboot and it should all be sorted... I hope.
Great stuff, thank you for your help. Now I wonder how to do this using linux, I will look into it, at least I know what the problem is

I'm on linux right now, and I did this to remove my stock messaging app not 3 hours ago...
Just open up your terminal and use adb, assuming you have the androidsdk on your computer...
If you don't it's going to be a little harder, you're going to have to find a root exploring file manager and delete the analog clock app from /system/app and then you're going to have to put the new one there AFTER rebooting.
If you want adb just ask and I'll tell you how to get it.
1. download the android sdk from http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r12-linux_x86.tgz
2. open up the .tgz and extract it to /home/-your_user_name/androidsdk
3. open up terminal and type
su
PATH=$PATH:/home/-your_user_name/androidsdk/tools
adb
adb devices <-------(make sure your device is connected and in debug mode. If that fails just boot into recovery)
