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]
I was bothered by the fact that Google Talk didn't show some of the messages I received. Johan de Koning submitted a patch that wasn't accepted by Google but works well. I applied this patch for personal use, but I thought that you might be interested as well.
Also, I had a look at the IM application and I modified it to allow login instead of having the "phone number cannot be read from your SIM" error. This might or might not work. It works for me, but users in the US have reported that it still fails.
UPDATE 16th Jun 2010:
Added version 1.1.2 from Cliq.
UPDATE 3rd Feb 2010:
New eclair version for IM.apk, completely untested. Might or might not work.
Patched ImProvider is no longer useful for Android versions >= 2.
Also, I removed the cupcake IM.apk because I just noticed it is broken and won't work. No-one should be still running a rooted cupcake anyway.
Notes
This is for donut. I tested it on cm 4.2.2 and 4.3.2.1, but it should work with any donut rom. As far as I know, it doesn't use sms at all. It still needs the tmo plugins to login, but no sms are sent. Other than that, it does exactly the same as when you login on wifi.
Installation
Some of these steps will fail depending on the rom (the dalvik-cache and odex part). These errors can be safely ignored.
First reboot into recovery, then, on your computer :
Code:
adb shell
mount /system
mount /sdcard
cp /system/app/IM.apk /sdcard/IM.apk
cp /system/app/ImProvider.apk /sdcard/ImProvider.apk
exit
adb push ImProvider.zip /system/app/ImProvider.apk
adb push IM.zip /system/app/IM.apk
adb shell
mount /system/sd
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*
rm /system/app/ImProvider.odex
rm /system/app/IM.odex
umount /system/sd
umount /system
umount /sdcard
reboot
Of course, I'm not responsible if anything breaks.
More information about the sources is available in this post.
which roms are these for? cupcake? donut? hero? haha. i pushed them to my hero rom and they do not show up in my app tray or in applicantion manager.
Tested them on cm 4.2.2 and it works. Does this use ip traffic or sms?
ok cool, probably for donut. i tried on Hero cupcake and it fails, just keep getting ForceCloses. owell, i dont use it anyways but just thought it be fun =)

You can try removing TmoImPlugin.apk and see if it still works.

I asked him in another thread earlier and this is his response

I'm going to push it into Cyan's build and remove TmoImPlugin.apk and see if it still works.
Well, it doesn't work without tmoimplugin, and with that, I know it uses sms.
Sorry for the lack of details.. I updated the first post to make it clearer. It doesn't send sms afaik, becaus my plan doesn't have unlimited sms and I wasn't charged for any sms since I patched the IM app.
Also, this is for donut only, because the IM subsystem changed a bit since cupcake.
can you somehow modify im.apk so that it would stay in memory?
seems to work fine *tries out this im comparison to ebuddy, seems much faster ^^*
not sure if it uses sms, but dont think so.. ah well got unlimited anyway ^^
Do you have the source patches for these?
I'd like to have more feedback.. Does it work properly for everyone ? Any bugs or FC ?

The patch from ImProvider is here : http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=597
but I couldn't recompile it from source without breaking everything.. I had to patch the apk directly. Maybe you'll do better.
The patch for the IM application is attached, the edited file is in packages/apps/IM/src/com/android/im/service

I don't know how to do that, sorry. But it seems the app already stays in memory for a while. Are you sure it doesn't stay already, if it's not killed by an application manager ?
Sorry if I'm being a noob, but how exactly does one install this? I did
adb push /path/IM.apk /system/app
adb push /path/ImProvider.apk /system/app
and rebooted, and I still get SIM card cannot be read errors. I feel like I'm probably missing a step like installing.

Yea, same here. I guess it doesn't work for users in the States. However, it does work on wifi but once I turn off wifi, it disconnects.
Try installing it from recovery if you didn't, and clear dalvik cache (rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/* on cm with apps2sd, not sure about others).
i'm tryin using it on CM ROM 4.0.4 but when i try push it, i can't use the IM, is there anyone already can used that IM in CM ROM 4.0.4 ?? thanks before
I hate when my messages are loosed, and run loose around the intarwebs.
Additionally, I don't like to be LOSING messages. =9
Thanks! Works perfect on enomther 2.1.1

It doesn't work on cupcake, donut only (cm >= 4.2).

Are you sure this is related ? I don't really see how the IM application could affect the market..
I was wondering if it would be possible to take the Messaging .apk from a 2.1 ROM, and push it onto a 2.2 ROM, replacing the 2.2 Messaging app. I don't really like the 2.2 one, as it lags for me, and I can't really change the font sizes or anything.
Also, is it possible to take a 2.1 LatinIME.apk and do the same thing? These are the only two things that I don't really like about Froyo ROMs, because they are both slow on my phone.
Thanks!
I'm no dev or anything so I'm not 100% sure but I think it can be done. I just don't know if it would run I read somewhere where people tried to push apps from a different build and it FC's when the app starts. Also, I was looking into getting the froyo messager on a donut rom to see how it would run and i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752604. I opened it up to see what files we're flashed to get this and it's just the mms.apk. So I'm guessing what you said can be done by getting the mms.apk from a Eclair rom and push it into your system/app/ folder, The question is will it run though?

I think I'm just gonna try it. I'll adb pull the original MMS.apk first, and if the pushed one doesn't work, I'll just push the original back in.
EDIT: Nope, doesn't work.

This is the same file that was modified by Mammon88, all I did was make it an update.zip and I can confirm it works on my phone running DK28
EDIT: Updated zip file to include the new APK mammon just provided.
If you already flashed and its working for you I don't see any reason to change to this zip...

Thanks.. I hate zippin file. Some reason I always get it wrong.. Here is the modded apk file pulled from dk28(Not sure if sprint changed anything but just in case). And thanks again!!
No problem... I enjoy being the guinea pig sometimes
Updated original posts update.zip w/ DK28 APK
So do we flash the zip off the OP or do we extract it and install the apk located inside of it?
Thanks guys!
Doesnt work for me; I still get the sms messages in the call log. I flashed the zip via Clockwork, any suggestions?
Worked great for me. Thank you sooo much. I was really tired of seeing my call logs filled with text messages.

Its easier and quicker to move it to system/app via adb. Just copy LogsProvider.apk from the downloaded zip into your tools directory of your SDK folder. Then type in hitting Enter after each line:
adb push LogsProvider.apk sdcard/
adb shell
su
remount rw
cat sdcard/LogsProvider.apk > system/app/LogsProvider.apk

Didn't work for me either. What is EE 2.0.03?
If that's your CWM version mine is 2.5.1
The apk and odex files are in the sys\apps folder so the install worked. I'm just still seeing sms msgs in the log.
worked perfect for me. Thank you very much! That log was driving me nuts.

Just a FYI people, I think that this stops future messages from showing in the call log, but it doesn't remove previous messages that are in there. I just flashed this and i see messages in log but i just text'd myself and it didnt show up in there.
Bopchie is correct. If the sms still show in the call log you need to delete them and no future sms will show.

Wish that were true. Unfortunately, new received texts still show up in the log. Even worse is when you select all the texts individually, it also checks the all logs box and when you click on delete, everything is gone.
odd, working fine here.. no new texts are showing up, just ones from before flashing it.

What's really odd is that now all my logs are back to where they were before I deleted all those texts in an effort to get them to stop showing up. Lets see what happens after I just deleted them all again.
so... im still lost. i get that i have to use the .apk or the zip... do i just copy the apk to that folder? or do have to run and install it? or can i just flash the zip as an update in clockwork?? totally lost.. but i definitely need this fix.
Please help me, i have a Galaxy S gt-i9000 with froyo (rooted) and i downloaded some custom dialer/ contacts and sms packs (it looked nice so i thought .. why not give it a try) but one of the apps said that its recommended to remove the default app so that it wont cause any conflicts. i wanted to uninstall the default dialer app but i ended up uninstalling the "Phone" app .. and now i cant use the contacts widget.. touching a contact wont pop up the menu with options (call, video call, send sms ..)
i wanted to check if i can try anything in Kies (restore or something) but my phone doesn't seem to be recognized anymore in Kies :|
Is there anything to be done?
any advice is deeply appreciated.
i have attached phone apk for you to install. you just need to unzip it and place it under /system /app and then reboot. make sure system is mounted RW
if that fails, reflash the ROM.
thank you for the prompt answer.
i downloaded the zip but i cant get to the root folder .. i mean .. i can only connect the phone in storage mode ...
should i try using a card?

You need either Root Explorer (paid) or Astro File Manager (free) from the market. Storage mode is fine, just copy the unzipped apk from your pc to the internal storage, then use one of the apps above to move it to /system /app.
Make sure you mount /system /app as rw or it wont paste.
ok so i copied it in /app ... asked me if i want to replace .. canceled and tried to run the phone apk that i already had ... it said App not installed.. so i copied and replaced the one from you .. and tried to run .. still no result :|
the phone apk is there ... but i think the dialer app is the one actually missing .. could you please add the dialer app as well?

Yep, it's the one with the green square, no Dialer.apk on my phone, just DialerTabActivity (apk&odex)Ok I've added a few into this rar, most you probably have, but I found 2 contact ones you didn't mention, so maybe they will help, these are all I have on my laptop that are related to the phone I think, see if they help.
you got a DialerTabActivity apk?
i copied all and overwrite them but still cant install the apps back. i would of wanted to keep my apps and stuff ... is there any other way to reinstall the default apps that i stupidly uninstalled? (Contacts, Dialer, Phone) dont know if it helps .. but i used the "Uninstaller for Root" app

Ok, I could be wrong here, but I'm fairly sure I read somewhere on here that you need to MOVE system apps, not COPY them, so go to system/app/ again and delete the ones you copied, then Move them from root of your sd to system/apps again. Then maybe try a reboot. I'm not sure this will solve it, but it's probably worth a try...
well ... no wireless here ... no wap on my sim ... cant get astro at the moment seems that everything i thought i was doing was bogus .. the file manager was saying that it was pasting/ copying/ deleting but it wasn't ...

Sorry, I assumed you were using Astro, or Root Explorer.
Astro is free on the market so it should be ok for me to post it here (if not, someone tell me ok?).
Gimme a few minutes to upload it...
ok .. i'll wait as much as it takes .. just to get this bastard working
Hey, happy to help, if I'm actually helping lol. That's what the sites for
Ok I've attached Astro, but I'd recommend buying Root Explorer, it's what I use. Also I've included a pic of the permissions needed by each of the files I put in the rar. I don't know about Astro, but in Root Explorer you just long press the app to get to permissions menu. You may not even need them, I'm not sure. Will check back tommorrow to see if you're making any progress.
ok thanks once again .. and good night
well astro cant edit permissions .. or at least not the free version .. or maybe they changed it in newer versions (in case there are any)

Damn, that's a pity, that was the latest version from the market, think you should buy Root Explorer if you can.
Permissions aside, did you successfully move the files with Astro?
If you did, dont try to install them, try a reboot first, I think that's what I did when I put the email.apk from SGSII into my SGS.
Sorry I didn't solve your problem tonight, will try again tommorrow if you want
i couldnt even move them cause the app dir is read only ... same for the files ... so unless i can get an app that can edit permissions i cant try moving/rebooting .
