Does anyone know how to get the vzw 3g mobile app onto fission? I tried using wireless tether and it keeps knocking me off after 5-10 mins and is much slower compared to the stock app.
This belongs in general.
Just extract the apk from an official rom and copy it to /system/app using root explorer.
And how do you extract it?

Well you're going to want a stock rom on hand. Use long press in root explorer (or similar app) to unzip the 3g mobile hotspot apk. Then copy it to your phone.

You mean to have the nandroid backup or actually go back to stock and then access the system files?
Humm, so i see, all the apk s are stored in the system folder. So for example you prefer to use the blur phone app, then you delete the one from your rom and change it for the blur one?

Noobish concern, really. And I couldn't make heads or tails from similarly-named threads.
So what I did is I copied some system apps to a folder on my sd. Thereafter I deleted both apk and odex files from the system/app folder hoping that copying them back will be just as easy.
Earlier today I tried copying the MoviePlayer apk and odex back. While it did copy, no amount of rebooting or cache clearing made it return to my apps list. I tried installing it by just running the apk from the sd but it had a permission issue.
Help on this? I might have other system apps to restore later like the music and messaging apps.
Next time you back up an app, use titanium backup. As for restoring it, you may have to download root explorer. Launch it then navigate to /system/app/ then click mount as r/w then paste the .apk & .odex files.

Titanium may back up a system app, but when you remove it, you can't restore it. God knows, I tried. Instead of the smiley it's just a check and there's no option to restore. Unless I'm doing something wrong here.
I already tried copying the. apk/.odex back in r/w mode using root explorer. That's the first thing I did.
Luckily I did the same thing like you before. You may have to download and flash (SAPPS.zip) or (Custom ROM)- this one I did.

Also, forget stock movie & music player, just use Doubletwist. It's a music and video player with an awesome UI.

I'll try SAPPS. Actually, maybe it's time for me to try a custom rom. de/void has been catching my attention recently.
The only reason why I started with the stock movie player is because I know that's expendable... just wanted to know how hard/easy it would be to put stock apps back.
And yes, I'll give doubletwist a try. Thanks!

Go here http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x2-hacks/27237-droid-x2-system-dump.html
Download the system dump zip.
Go into zip using root explorer( if I don't have it I recommend buying it its worth it)
go to system folder
go to app folder
Extract all DLNA apks and odex(s)
Go to extracted folder and select the files u just extracted
Move them to your system/app folder after u mount system as r/w using burton on top of root explorer screen.
Remount as r/o then reboot..it should be available now.
good luck
This should also work for other apks. I have been looking for a gingerbread dump if anyone could post that that would be great although I have had no problems installing any of these apks I've tried. Did the music camera toggle widgets etc and all worked no problems.
I will get you guys some of the stock apps and zip them up so they can be flashed.

Hello, another thread about this glitch.
I am using ordroid 6.1 which has so minor glitches, like for instance the bluetooth will go on whenever i connect the usb cable to my computer! The bluetooth is off all the time but it will go on, does anyone knows about this?
I have been trying for the last 3 hours to install titanium backup to gain my backup apps, but i have no luck so far.
I read in this website that you need to go using apps called root explorer or ES Explorer to find a file titanium.opk and delete it. I have been using booth apps and i cant find tle damm file at all.
The phone is rooted, i checked using root check and the phone is rooted.
I dont know what going on, can someone help me out here?
Thanks a lot!

First you cqn use QtADB on your PC (or just mount your sd) to search for the file.If you cannot find it try installing Titanium Backup as a system app. You can do that by pushing it via adb or just copy/paste in /system/app

Is there a thread where i can see this? I am very new with this kind of stuff.
Thanks either way
The actual file you're looking for is com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.odex in /data/app
Just delete and you should be fine. You can use Solid Explorer or Root Explorer, bot can be obtained from the market.
Could anyone tell me how I can take an app from my old MT4G and put it on my Amaze?
Apparently the app is no longer available on the Market and I don't like any of the other options.
Thanks for any help.
Can you not back up your app using Titanium Backup, move your backup to your Amaze and use titanium to restore that one app? I'm new to Android but seems like an idea..
Or you can use root explorer, browse to your system/data partition and look for the app_name.apk file if you downloaded it or system/apps if the app came with the phone and look for the same file and copy that file to your memory card and install it on your new device normally or by placing it in the same folder you took it it out from on the old phone, though you'll need root privileges to do that on the new device.

I don't see why that wouldn't work. I should have thought of that before.

Depending if you're backing up the app+data or just the app, if it's just the app you won't need root access, but app+data will require root.

It's just the app, which if anyone is wondering is "Craigslist Notification".
One of the best free CL apps out there.
And I would know because I downloaded 6 different ones on the Amaze and didn't like ANY of them.
The ones with pictures had no prices, the one with prices had no pictures.
The ones that had both, had no "save" feature...so on and so forth.
So I still have the app on my old MT4G and just wanted to pull it off there and install it on the Amaze.
For some reason the app is no longer on the Market.
Thanks for all the help guys. I'm about to attempt to move the app now.
Will report back.
or if you have adb setup you can use:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/[I][COLOR="Red"]nameofapp[/COLOR][/I].apk
\
then you will find it in your computers user directory

It's not part of a ROM or system files guys, it's actually an app that was once available on the market, I used to use it at one point in time, so can you post the apk file when you pull it please OP.

So I'm back from the beach and burnt to a crisp BUT I got the app on my Amaze now!!! WOOT!!!!
Used Root Browser Lite on the MT4G to copy the apk from /data/app to /sdcard.
Then moved that apk on to my desktop.
Plugged in the Amaze and dropped it on the phone then used Astro File Manager to browse to the apk and install it.
Everything is working fine now and I have a copy of the apk on my computer if anything should ever happen.
Thanks a lot for all the help guys. I really really appreciate.
I can't live without this app. I LOVE getting deals on Craigslist.
And Dark, am I allowed to post the apk up?
I have the free version, so it's not a paid app.
Once it's a free app, there's nothing preventing you from posting it bro.

Lol no doubt, thanks dude.
I have a weird question. I now have a Verizon S4, ME7 baseband, rooted. I used to have a S3. I use s-voice via Bluetooth dialing for voice dialing and texting all the time. It worked flawlessly on my S3 but sucks on the S4. It won't find some contacts, despite reading the names back to me perfectly while telling me it didn't find them.
I remember trying the S4 apk on the S3 when the S4 apk was released and finding it didn't work well for me. I reverted back to the stock S3 s voice.
My question now is, can I do the reverse? Can I put the S3 S-voice on the S4? Does anyone have the latest S3 s-voice apk? I don't have the S3 anymore (nor would I know how to get the apk off if I did).
Thanks

I use apps from the s3 and note 2 all the time, most work and for those that don't I use apktool to mod them to work. In the case of s voice I imagine the app will natively work and it sounds like samsung tts doesn't have much to do with your issue. Im not at home to test or post it but you could always download a stock gs3 rom and extract s voice from it to try.

Good point, that reminds me, in order to install s voice you will have to push the app to system and change the permissions. Hey OP if you don't know how to do this let me know, id make you a zip but I believe you're on me7 correct?

Omph, thanks for detailing the need to change the permissions. I always read about people doing that, but have never done it. A zip would be awesome, but yes, I'm on me7 - does that mean you can't make one? If nobody else makes the zip, I'll read up on changing permissions.

Unfortunately since your on me7 I cant make you a zip also you won't be able to make a nandroid back up either. This is because me7 doesn't allow you to have a custom recovery. Changing the permissions is pretty straight forward though, just make it match the other apps in the system/app folder, you'll also have to mount the system folder r/w.

Thanks for all your help. I extracted the file - called "Voicetalk" as far as I can tell. I pasted it into the system app folder using Root Explorer, changed the permissions, and nothing happened. I then realized that maybe I need to actually run the installer - tapping the file (which did indeed have the S3 S-Voice icon) gave me the option to install. I ran the installer, it showed the permissions, and then it failed to install with the only message showing: "Application not installed".
I deleted the app from the system folder.
I then tried again by first freezing the native S-Voice app. I tried installing the apk directly from the SD card and had the same result - not installed.
So, unless I am doing it incorrectly, I think the S3 S-voice will not install directly onto the S4. Any ideas as to a way to make it work?
Thanks

What you originally did was fine, just rename the original s-voice .apk to .bak then do what you originally did (move the s3 s-voice .apk to /system/app then change permissions) then reboot your phone. Also you can check to make sure the owner is root for both owner and group. I think it might have worked had you just rebooted. Alternativley you can just copy and paste the apk to your internal sd then use rom toolbox and go to app manager, tap the upper left corner (where it shows a little rubix cube android person) then go down to + APK Installer and select the s-voice apk that you copied to your internal sd card. Afterward check in app manager and make sure s-voice is a system app, if not convert it to a system app. Remeber to reboot your phone after it installs. If all else fails send me the .apk and ill figure it out and/or mod it to work.
You ROCK!!
Thank you very much for your help. The key was this line you wrote: "just rename the original s-voice .apk to .bak " I had not done that and the S3 version would not install. Once I renamed the original s-voice, I was able to install the S3 version. Rebooted, and voila. Now it recognizes, without a hitch, the names that the S4 version was unable to find. So now I'm in business!
