I recently switched roms and lost the Avatar launcher and the Sims 3.apk.
I know you can open Avatar through the gallery but that's not as good for showing off.
Can anyone send me a link to download them, or maybe rip them off your device?.
I really miss them.
There are many ways to solve this.
First, is search the forum.
Second, know something about his, download a stock rom and pull it for yourself.

I am having a similar problem trying to install Avatar. I am running Bionix Final - Sims 3 installs fine, Avatar is a no go. I tried to copy it into /system/app using Root Manager - rebooted and it still does not appear... any ideas?
I don't really know, I'm still a noobie to this android stuff. I just pushed it into system/app/ using ADB, and it worked for me. I'm using fusion 1.1.

Is that Bionix a Froyo build?
I've posted a modified Avatar.apk that looks for the movie in the proper location on Froyo ROMs. It's tested on Onyx ROM, but should work on any Froyo ROM. It's here if anyone still looking for a workaround about this and the apks posted above don't work for you.
On avatar it says application not installed...? Also when I download it where does it download the file?

I get a file not found when launching the avatar apk. I'm running macnut12. Hmmm, maybe I deleted the movie in the internal sd by mistake. Reverting back from a stock froyo (e.g. Eugene's unofficial froyo) through Odin should fix this issue. Am I correct?

Is that directed at me? Do you mean on your phone? Downloads from the web should end up in a folder called Downloads on the internal sdcard. From there copy with root explorer or adb to the proper location (/system/app)
Sims 3
When I had this issue I had lost the entire Sims 3 game and not just the launcher. The second post only includes the launcher apk, so I will attach both. I am only reattaching the launcher just in case the one posted somehow does not work with the launcher posted prior.
FYI - I pulled these from my stock dump I made before I loaded my first custom ROM, and from what I have heard they will work ONLY on the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959 and nothing else.
It may not matter, but I think it is best to install them in order. Also since the max upload on apk (for me at least) is 8Mb and the game is 74Mb I am putting them into an archive first and doing an external link, so you will need 7zip or something similar.

Sims 3 parsing error on samsung vibrant
Can someone help me. I keep getting a parsing error everytime i open my sims 3 on my samsung vibrant.
how do i install this on my phone... do i save to my memory card are something.

These are standard APK files. Basically they are Android installer packages. What to do with them or how to install them are basic aspects of using Android. If you plan on using an Android device as anything beyond a basic consumer device you should take the time to understand these basics because putting them here is beyond the scope of this thread.
This should help.
ok so i got it. but now when i use app installer to install the application it says parse error

So do you have a T-mobile Vibrant SGH-T959? It absolutely will not work if you don't.
Did you install both APK files in the correct order for Sims 3?
Are you using a custom ROM? It may not work in all ROMs. If you are using a AOSPish ROM like Macnut I don't know if it will work, because AOSP is built from the (Android Open Source Project) and not from Samsung/T-mobile firmware.
I have only tested this to work on Bionix and Auxra ROMs myself.
I have a samsung vibrant... I am using android 2.2 i have no custom rom installed.. do i need to rename it are something. what is the order of the sims 3 apk. can u list a step by step instruction list on how to do this..

Something is wrong with your statement. Maybe I should have been more explicit in my questions. This only works for US T-mobile Vibrants. It is an exclusive item that was (non-exclusive version now available in the market for $4.99 http://www.appbrain.com/app/the-sims™-3/com.eamobile.sims3_na_qwf) only available on US T-mobile Vibrants. This package only restores Avatar and Sims 3 for those who lost it, it does not provide it to those that should not have it.
Here are the problems with your statement:
You can not be using a stock firmware and also be using 2.2. Sorry you have to pick one as T-mobile has not pushed a OTA 2.2 out yet. This is not for Bell customers or other non United States phones.
There is no reason for you to have lost these packages if you are not running a custom ROM as they are not uninstallable.
So as you can see, there is something very fishy with your story. If you are just confused and not lying about your situation then you are running a custom ROM or you would not have lost these. In this case try re-downloading the files, use the link in my first post (Post #13) and you would have to be really confused to not figure out the order to install because they are numbered. If it can not parse these then either your download is corrupt, you are missing one of the two installs, or phone is not a United States SGS-T959.
Can someone post the Voice Recorder from the stock ROM on our Vibrant? Also, I plan to use it on a 2.2 ROM (Onyx). Any compatibility issues with using the Voice Recorder on 2.2?
Thanks in advance.

Don't know. Hang on a minute, I'll check.
Don't know why but de-odexer failed to de-odex it. I'm running a de-odexed rom so I can't test it now.
Thanks narco, but it didn't install. I took the apk out of the rar file you posted and tried to install that. No joy.
I really thought this was the right forum. I saw someone get yelled at in the Dev forum for posting app requests.
Don't know anything about de-odex so can't say why your file didn't work. I really like the ROM I'm using except for a few little ommissions like this. I wouldn't mind the file manager from the stock rom either if you have it. I hate these ad-supported ones in the market. I know I should support the developers and buy something, but these are things we got for free with our phones. I just want some of that free goodness.
Thanks again.

No worries. Coincidentally, I happened to de-odex that file since my last post. So here is the de-odexed version that I have running perfectly on Froyo. And since you need it I'll attach a de-odexed copy of the file manager as well.

narco, what am I doing wrong? I downloaded the rar files you posted and extracted the apk file. I moved the apk files to my internal SD card, then used a version of "Root Explorer" to launch the installer on these files. I get a message that says they weren't installed. No other helpful information as to why.
Is there some other method of getting these files to install?

Yes there is.
First you need to install the SDK.
Then plug your phone into your computer, enable USB debugging, open a command prompt on your computer, navigate to the folder where your apk resides and enter the following commands:
Code:
C:\Phone Hacking\Vibrant>adb root
restarting adbd as root
C:\Phone Hacking\Vibrant>adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/st19 /system
C:\Phone Hacking\Vibrant>adb push VoiceRecorder.apk /system/app/
C:\Phone Hacking\Vibrant>adb reboot
Okay, I think I got it. I installed the sdk and tried the whole adb thing, but it said I couldn't go into adb root on production builds, then it occurred to me that all you were trying to do was move the apk file into the /system/app folder which can only be accessed by root.
I already had Root Explorer, which I used to move the apk file and it worked. Thanks for posting the files and your help. I've been wondering what I could do with ADB. I messed around with the usb drivers for a while but ended up getting adb to work via the wirelessadb app that was included in the Onyx rom.
Learning something new everyday.
Thanks again.

The reason you got an error about adb not switching to root mode is that you are running a production kernel. You might consider changing to a custom kernel. You can run a rooted kernel along with your current rom.
I would suggest one of Eugene's custom kernels. I currently run A4 but there is a new A5 out that I will switch to later tonight.
If you can't figure out how to install it send me another message. I'll be glad to help.
Edit: Just updated to A5. Runs Great! Super fast awesomeness!

Try this,from Bionix final.Copy to root and use root explorer to copy to system/app.
This is my first week with rooting/flashing. My primary reason for going this route has been to get some froyo goodness and extend my battery life. I have been reading that the stock kernel is the best way to get the most battery life. What do the custom kernels get you? I've stayed away from the lag fixes as well for the same reason.
Thanks for being so helpful.

Hi guys,
How to I go about creating an update-script? Over the past few days I'be been cooking my own ROM (it's a port from the Incredible S dumps) and creating the update script is the last step before I test the ROM out and if it works, uploading to the Android Development forum.
I'm using a Nexus One btw.
So, could any assist me?
Thanks,

I tried to make my own the other day, and I found a helpful thread on the commands you can use for it. Ill try and find the link then update here.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641223
This one is for update-scripts but I imagine there's not that much difference, correct me if I'm wrong. There does seem to be other commands for the same things in updater-script.
Another suggestion is to look at existing updater-scripts and see what makes them tick. They are quite self explanitory, nice and easy to read.

You can take an update script from another custom rom, i think.
Don't forget to sign and do nandroid.

You could also do this, but depending on what the custom rom changes you may need to change things in there, maybe not.

Hi
Finally - first post after just reading the forum, and for good start it's kind of how to questions.
So, as mentioned in the topic I need to restore standard TW Launcher on my device, at the moment it is broken thanks to my noobish operations. I tried to replace TW with the modded TW4.5.
TW4.5 doesn't work on my gs2 and to install it I just deleted the stock one. I made a copy of standard apk, but nothing happend when I copy it back into system/app directory. It also won't to be installed.
Now I use GO Launcher and I'm happy with it but the thought that standard one doesn't work make feel strange.
Please help
I had the same issue last night but got TW4.5 working fine in the end. However i did end up going back to the original anyway (some widget bugs that i probably could have sorted but couldnt be bothered -.-').
The way i got my original TW back was as follows:
1) Put the original touchwiz30.apk file and the .odex file back into /system/app.
2) Delete the Touchwiz4.apk
3) Try install the old launcher only to be told "Application not installed".
4) Reboot the phone and it should let you use the normal launcher again, use Home Switcher if youve set the other as default.
Hope this helps

Hi, i'm new to the ROM building/editing stuff. I've read a lot about building ROM's from scratch, but thats not what i'm interested in. I would like to know if, and if i can how, i can edit an existing rom for the Samsung Infuse 4g such as the stock rom and replace stock apps. I want to just edit some of the system/apps like the stock launcher, stock messaging app, etc and replace them with different ones that i already have downloaded. I don't want to edit any of the really deep/internal stuff just the stock applications that are loaded on the phone. Pretty much i want to theme it i guess you could say. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advanced. I'm looking forward to working with custom ROM's.

Assuming your file is a .zip file, you could just replace the applications you want (found in the "system/app" folder) on the zip, and sign it afterwards with a tool like AndroidSigner. It works for me
dsixda's kitchen
I haven't used this, but I have seen other ROM modders talk about this application called Kitchen (by dsixda). The link to the post is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
From the looks of it, it fits your bill.
you have Output the /system and do some work like change themes and other stuff and their is guys in Android Development and Hacking>Android Software Development
First off, thanks for all your replies, I appreciate getting some assistance. To answer most questions, yes I have the rom as a .zip file and flash it with cwm. I will try to replace the apps I want and then look into signing it ( which I don't know a whole lot about, but ill Google it.)
