Making an APK - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been searching for way to make an apk file. I am currently using titanium back up to retrieve my apps. But I want the ability to send an actually apk to another individual. I tried changing the the extension through my file explorer but that didn't work. Any suggestions or answers? I hope this isn't a noob question. Thanks.

You can use https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwyLDEsImNvbS5idW1wdGVjaC5idW1wZ2EiXQ..bump
However, the recipient has to have bump installed too to receive apps.

Bump will just send the market link. I think what u want is to send paid apps to friends which I'm not sure is possible

Well not necessarily paid apps. For example. My friend has the Motorola Droid razor (not rooted) but wishes he still had his car home app. I currently have this app installed (ICS by neobuddy) and I want to package the app into an apk so I can send it to him.

Just upload it to a Dropbox account and he can get on via his phone or PC and download it. Or pull a copy of your APK out of either /system/app or /data/app and put it on your SD card. Plug your card into his computer or phone and pull it off, install and Bam!! there it is.
I have tried sending APKs through gmail and it won't do it b/c gmail won't allow executables to be sent (whole virus protection thing and all-so i guess it is a good thing).
Worst case scenario, you upload it here, he logs on and pulls it off but beware of uploading paid apps as you will be banned. Your call.

I send apk files through gmail quite often. I use astro to make a backup, then send it through astro using the gmail app.

Thank you for the help. Really appreciate it.

Contact data force close

Does anyone else get a force close when trying to open contacts and editing them? I have tried to take the contact data and sync from 2.0.2 since I didn't have the problem on that build. That didn't fix the problem any suggestions I would appreciate it.

On Version 2.02 and 2.03 I am able to edit contacts with no problems. I assign ringtones for my wife. There was a issue with a older version I had with FC's on contact but not on 2.02 or on 2.03
dont delete yahoo mail authenticator. for some reason blur contacts will fc if u delete that. sadly i was not able to restore it using titanium. u may want to push the apk back, or reload ur rom and not delete it.

[REQ] Google APKs

Hi, can someone please upload me the APKs for Google Talk, Google Voice Search(not Google Voice), and Gmail(tablet, two columns version if available) that works for the latest Jetstream. Must have deleted them unintentionally and I don't have my ROM files anymore. I already tried downloading again the ROMs that haven't been deleted yet but always timed out because my internet is so bad and no resume, still trying right now but maybe someone can be so kind and just get me those files only.
If you want to send me via email: h4rr33[at]gmail[dot]com
Thanks! :victory:

What about using Search?
Or Just use Google and search for "Google Apps xyz"

Here you go.
Apk files attached. Don't know if they would install as it is or you would need to flash them in the form of an update.zip with the files in folder /system/app

...I did. Why don't you enlighten me with some links that has working apks! I've tried transformers apks and while gmail works(one column), GTalk FC and I can't for the life of me find Voice Search. Honeycomb APKs aren't that many in circulation, especially the ones that work for 3.1.

Restore SMS/Call history WITHOUT erasing existing one?

Hej, i'd like to save & then restore sms/call history from a nandroid, however the apps/method i tested erase current one while restoring...
For SMS there's GoSMS Cloud that works, however limit is to 1000 and i've reached it. For call logs, no idea...
I need to send back the phone in few hour so hope someone can help me to find a solution quickly... Thanks!
Not sure if it has a limit, but have you tried Titanium Backup ?
It does erase current one. Please people, help, only got an hour left to save with the right app....

Does it have to be from a Nandroid ? If not then you can try My Backup Root.
I have one contact2.db file anf another xml from titanium, i want to merge them for restore.

Please!!!!!!!

Hey there!
It probably is possible to merge it, but I think this is an easier solution:
I use SMSBackup+, it's awesome! (PlayStore link.
Just backup your sms with it, they will get stored into a separate gmail label.
Now restore your old sms (overwrite the current ones) and restore the other ones from SMSBackup+.
Did work like a charm for me in the past.
Thanks, gonna try!

[Request] Modified AOSP contact app

I have been searching for the past week or so, to no avail, for the AOSP contact app, and possibly phone app also, that is modified to read phone only contacts instead of your Google contacts.
Is there one out there already for 4.2 or is there a way to enable this on my current contact app? I'm going to look with SQLite Editor in a bit to see if there is a modification I can make that will allow it, but if you know how to enable it, know how to edit it in somehow (I don't mind doing it myself), or anything that would be of help please please please post it.
I know I can use a third party so to do this but I would rather not if I can avoid it.
P.S. I'm running VRB 6-12 in case that info helps.

So I'm pretty much an idiot, I tried finding out how to make the contacts app just sync my VCF card...... Anyway my issue was that even though I told Google not to sync ANYTHING it was still syncing contacts, I wiped the, all out and turned everything to do with sync off and imported ,y contacts and everything works!
Sorry for being a schmuck, I'm having a off week.
