Is there anyway to use the stock (or even the cyanogen modded) stock apps on the DroidX2. I've already tried copying them over to system/app and correcting permissions and even with a reboot, they don't show up.
Does anyone have any suggestions? In particular the stock sms/mms app and the stock calendar application.
Thanks so much

the motoblur framework is what ****s it all up
Can't wait to get rid of that crap framework with a custom rom.
I really want custom roms... Like yesterday. Lol

We all want custom roms, it be nice, but we need an unlocked bootloader and i have yet to hear of anyone actively working on one for the DX2, so for now we are stuck ..
god i miss my Nexus S
I'm sure once we see an OTA update, we'll have a better chance at unlocking the bastage. At least we have a leaked SBF file to help with those who have bricked. There's more incentive to hacking.
I just downloaded the extended version of the mms app from
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/15/download-new-mms-apk-with-custom-settings/
So far, it seems to work other then force closing when trying to change the font size... Hopefully It'll keep on working. It isn't the latest version that comes with cyano 7 but it'll do.
Next is trying to get the extended setting version of the dialer. I think thats going to be much harder to do
Note - The messaging app does work, but it force closes everytime you send a message out, although it does send the message out. DAMN BLUR!
I use a sms/MMS app that I took from a custom ROM about a year ago. I can't stand the MOTOBLUR sms/mms app, and this one looms more like the OG Droid app.

Hi, can you explain how you did that? I tried the one off of the current cyanogenmod 7 and it didn't work, and I tried a much earlier version I found on here, but it would force close after each message it sent.
The good news is that it looks like someone has gotten a custom recovery put on their x2 so developer progress is moving forward.

Link!? Wanting to follow and provide help if possible.
Which stock apps were you referring to ? You should be able to install to /system as long as you change the package name.

I had initially installed the program from my SD card, and that worked fine for the most part. It wasn't until about a week or so ago that it started giving me problems. I finally figured out to actually copy my MMS.apk to the system/app folder and then set the permissions to rw-r-r and then rebooted. This has worked for my X² and my husband's X and now both phones are working beautifully. I used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze the stock Text Messaging so that I don't get duplicate messages.

I got the android default dock app, and the extended messaging app working by taking it from cyanogenmod 6.something
The name of the blur text messaging app is called conversations.apk (took me forever to figure that out... ****ing motorola)
I"m debating about replacing the car dock application.... there are some nice things in the blur version.
What about the default Android Market app??? Has anybody tried that?? I don't want to have to see the verizon crap in my market.... I will try and pull it from a CM rom I have from back in the day, I think its 6 also... and give it a try but any help to point me in the right direction to make this work would be nice...

Would anyone be willing to pull this for me? Or even better, does someone have this sitting around? I prefer the original look to Swype and am currently using Vibrant5.

just pull the File & push it into the Phone..
This kills me, everyone is Quick to Post, but not willing to do the work
Honestly though, if you can't use adb, you have no need for a Rooted Phone.. Just my thoughts here....

If I pull Swype from the Vibrant, would I be able to use it on the Nexus as well or would the size not work?
Reason I ask is because my Swype Beta account stopped letting me download since I keep flashing on my old N1 and since it ran out, I'm not able to put Swype on my GF's N1.
Lol like I said, I would have done it already but I don't have access to a computer right now. I'll do it this afternoon and post the .apk for you

I've been switching ROMs a lot, and I ran out of installs. Anything you can do?
Send an email to [email protected] explaining the situation and include the email address you used to register for the beta. We'll be able to reset your download count. In the future, if you're going to be making any more ROM changes, please use Titanium backup (or similar) for the Swype files. This will ensure that the license files remain intact.
I just got a replacement Android device and now I can't install Swype. Help!
Send us an email at [email protected] and we'll assist if we can. Please make sure to include the email address you used to register for the beta, your new phone's IMEI number (look inside the battery compartment) and, if you have it, your old phone's IMEI number.

I edited the Evolution_Font install zip so that it doesn't remove the odex files. I just installed this using Clockwork and it's working fine for me. I recommend making a nandroid before doing this though just in case and as always if you brick your phone don't blame me.
The original font pack came from the Evolution theme, I don't take any credit for this and if whoever did create it wants it taken down I have no problem doing so.

edit: Added the Default font if you want to switch back.
I flashed it but now for some reason I cant load my downloads in the market, prob unrelated but other than that fonts work just fine.
Ok after a reboot it works just fine now, wonder what that was?
The font is a lot smaller than the stock, but I like it. Like it gives it a cleaner look or something.
after running quadrant with that loaded, I am convinced it did something else, the screen just looks more crisp.

itd entirely possible there is some sort of server maintenance or something... when i installed app brain a month ago there just happened to be server issues that night.. i assumed it was the new software.. logical right?
im running some backup/restore tests now... takes a while...
I couldn't get anything to authorize or download from market... used nandroid backup and worked fine after...

not completely related, but i figured since the OP knows of the themes the fonts originate from, would i be able to just install the Launcher pro that is themes in the bugless evolution rom? i basically want the widgets...
edit: so i decided to just make a nandroid and then see what happens.
worked just fine! the widgets and the font go nicely together!
Thanks now if we could get a flipfont apk port that would be great.
Love the font, but I too am getting a market error. Trying to install other apps and it FC's and then the apps are stuck "installing" can't cancel them out.
Flipped to wifi, same issue. Gonna shut it down, pop the battery and see if that does the trick.
EDIT: Yup, market still continues to crash even after a couple reboots and a battery pull. Why would this cause the install/market to crash?
which market apk are you using? the original one or the 2.2 version?
mine is working fine (i use the 2.2 market)
Using the updated version. As far as I recall.

no, i'm running it on the stock rom with root and voodoo
My setup Voodoo/oc'd kernel/aosp boot animations/deodexed Market 2.2 and have NO issues with this font whatsoever.
You did flash it through CWM correct?
I uninstalled the market update, went back in and downloaded the apps that were hung on install (as they were still showing "installing..." on the market page, even after a CWM restore) and it worked.
I can live without the new market until 2.2
untill it starts to be in all the roms, any way to flash this?
i have the apk, tried to do it through App Installer
gonna try adb next
a few people are having problems with getting it to work on cyanogen based roms
I assume, though I could be totally wrong, that there will be no need to flash this or install it. Your market will just show up looking like that someday. In engadget's post about it, they mention "Google's pushing the update to every Android 1.6-and-above device over the next couple of weeks".
im not sure when ill add it ,, looks like some people are haven issues with apps ,, also not sure if i like the fact that if u pay for a app u only have 15 minutes to ask for a refund ,, what if the app works fine , then later on it doesnt work right? i guess u bought a bad app lol i dunno not sure if i like that
As far as I can tell, it's all just a new interface, plus, they changed things like only having 15mins now to get a refund instead of the 24hrs... which is kind of retarded.
The new market is working fine, all apps dloaded with it stick after reboot. If you're using this on a 2.1 rom, delete the Vendor.odex file in system/app if your rom isn't deodex'd already.
if you're on a CM rom, just rename the .apk to Vendor.apk (if it's named something else) and put it in system/app using adb or a file manager.
I attached it already renamed if anyone wants it...
So this is not a pushed update as engadget stated? How are all the other non-rooted android users gonna get it?

I'm not sure exactly, my guess would be through your google account, since it isn't a carrier specific update...
anyone know the answer to this?
I can make a flashable zip for those interested... even though all of you should be able to use adb or a file manager and place it in system/app by now
A flashable zip would be great. How did the market get the new "similar" and "related" tabs? I assumed this update would be pushed the same way. Btw, where are you getting the file to even make a flashable zip? Is it in the Android SDK or something?

This zip works great for me so far. Though I dont like the new market. The tabs made it easier to flip between things and the rotating apps at the top is slow on a slow phone. It looks like they tried to make it look nicer (and failed in my opinion) but ended up making it less functional.
Google apps always look simple and sophisticated. This Market overhaul looks overdone and tacky with too much "pizzaz".

hmmm it might just be preinstalled on new android devices, since i dont think any carrier would do a OTA update, so maybe only rooted users will have the new market for a while?

Yeah, that shocked me. 15 minutes isn't much time to make sure an app works fine for your purposes. For apps that have free/trial versions, then you can check those out first, but what if it's the paid options that don't sufficiently work. I think one or two hours is reasonable, but 15 minutes is ridiculous.
I think ROMs should keep the current version of the market and people can use flashable zips to go to the new version if they want.
time for some maintenance... be back shortly
Jumped on the chance to try this out...but it did not work..got android system force close and a bunch of others, not sure why. Might be incompatible with the Nitros rom..didnt think of that at first.
hey sorry looking into it, I've been running this but havent flashed for awhile i must have made a bad zip.

Cool I'll check those out and I might have jumped the gun with your framework. I just seen the resources.arsc was compressed in the apk and that usually leads to trouble; but I didnt seem to have any problems with it. Also I had a problem with stock, I believe was unrelated to those that were running nitro's, that I cant replicate(for now I'll dismiss it). I'll be looking into to all this soon enough, its probably about time I ran something besides stock.
Resources.arsc? I thought I dealt with that, crap. Ill re do the framework when I get home.

does it make a difference what rom i'm on before i flash or can i just flash right over pre-rooted stock 2.3.3?
Awesome theme, the wifi looks silly though when it changes back to stock icon. Don't know if its possible but can you make the screen lock pattern light up green when unlocking phone? That would be sick.
Edit:a note on wifi indicator, I noticed if I have 4 bars its the gb icon, 3 bars is your indicator, 2 is gb indicator, 1 is yours. So it switches back each time it calls for it. Hope this helps nail down what's causing it.
