Pushing apks - Motorola Droid X2

Why doesn't pushing apks to system/app or data/app work? It is kinda selective on which ones work or don't work. No matter which apks I push if it is an app it should show up on the dock. But hardly any do. I have changed permissions and owner to match the others and rebooted. Still no luck. Is there a trick I am missing because the x2 isn't fully unlocked? Thanks

Build.prop LCD Density request

Ok guys, so I've edited the build.prop files on both the stock and WarmSense ROMs to change the LCD setting to 160, which works, but @ the expense of having many HTC apps FC (mail, calculator, people, bookmarks). Phone, messaging and internet work fine, but I'd like to edit the file without losing any of the others.
Any thoughts? The only change being made is to the LCD setting.

Try going into spare parts and disabling compatibility mode. That works in aosp roms, though not sure on sense core apps, etc.

Was a no go. I'd really just like to push the stock android contacts.apk but can't get it to install. 3rd party apps are fine for calc, mail and clock so those aren't a priority. But contacts are...lol

[Q] How to change the carrier name.

Very easy to change on the DX, but it doesnt seem to be located in eri.xml on the TBolt.
Any ideas?
My guess is its buried in htc.resources or needs to be edited in services.jar
Better cut?

If I was to change the icon of an app manually, would the app icon change back upon update of said app or do only the files that are newer get changed in the app? Hence technically the app icon, once changed will remain that way permanently?
Also, is there an easier way than using an apk editing tool to edit the app icons?

So basically you ressurected a dead thread because you don't pay attention to all these flashable mod zips or ask the devs behind the mods. Ppl edit the apks, repack the apks, and flash it to their device via cwm, and see the change that they made.
Download from source and edit prior to packing the apk?

How to push apk file?

I downloaded a live wallpaper and it was said to "push it". How do you do this?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Easiest way is to use your file explorer and put it in /system/app, set your permissions and reboot.
In the way you are talking about, "push" is a general term. There is another way that uses ADB and pushes the apk to system or another partition. But for this, just do the above.

OK I moved it to system/app, I am using root explorer, I am not understand how to set permissions. It lists 3 choices.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Longpress the apk and a menu will pop up. Hit Permissions (make sure you are r/w in top right corner of Root Explorer).
Permissions are
First column - all checked.
Second column- only the top is checked
Third column - None are checked
Should look like an upside down L

Thank you so Much for your help. After I do all of this and reboot, it should appear in my live wallpaper menu?

I have done everything and after reboot I do not see the file in live wallpaper. I didn't see an upside down L?

Should look like this. Pay no attention to the Clockopedia at the top.

If you have root then put it in system/app
Then it will never show any problems

Copy the Weather and Circle Widget into System/Apps and set permissions. Install the Launcher like an usual app and profit.

I did put it there but I dont know how to set permissions? -_-
Sent from my MOTOROLA RAZR using xda app-developers app
Use an root explorer. All of them got an option to set permissions. Just longpress on the App and set them like on the screen. You maybe have to reboot after that to see the Widget in Drawer.
BTW: Make an backup of the OG weather.apk

I did What you said but I keep getting an error - problem loading widget.
Edit: works now, I had to overinstall homescreen with permissions. Thanks.

You need unpack homescreen.apk and take libs folder files then copy this files to lib folder in your system then weather widget work forever, otherwise you need reinstall homescreen after each reboot.
By the way, there is full pack with weather and quickview http://d-h.st/u29
thanks

It's like that on all JB roms, there's an image mismatch since the launcher is from ICS. You'll have to wait for someone to get the JB launcher ported.
It works very well.
But when I restart my phone, launcher works fine but there is " a problem loading widget". How to solve this?
The proper procedure to all having problems is this :
Follow this to install on new JB leak:
RAZR M Laucher:
- Copy launcher to system/app
- Set permission to RW-R-R
- Tap on the the file just copied and do a double installation to overwrite system app
- Make a copy of homescreen.apk
- Change the .apk extension to .zip
- Extract using winrar or winzip
- Locate the files 'libnative_renderer.so' & 'libtexture_mem.so' inside the folder 'armeabi' under lib folder
- Copy both files to system\lib folder and overwrite any existing files and set permissions rw r r
- REBOOT
- Install 3d circles and weather in any order
Circle Widget 3D:
- Install as normal app
Weather:
- Install as normal app
Follow these directions and everything will work just fine!
