#1 are you using a 2.3 rom?
#2 if you are you have to use adb or file manager like root explorer to push it to /system/apps/

i suggest you put the sdk folder in C:\ makes it easier you use in adb and put launcher2 file in the sdk after you put it in C:\
open command prompt
type "cd C:\sdk\tools"
then type "adb push C:\sdk\launcher2.apk /system/app/
if it works all you have to do is press your home key then it will let you choose which launcher you want
It's still not working. Ive tried moving it in file explorer but it wont let me. I can't even uninstall adw.
Try adb remount, then push the files

ok lets forget about adb..
download this http://www.mediafire.com/?h14r700b3euwhhc
put the launcher apk & this file on your sdcard & use file manager to install the root explorer..then open it
scroll down to system..in system go to app(this is where your apps are)
if a grey button on the top says r/w click it..this will allow you to move or delete files in the app folder
then try to move launcher into the app folder
thanks so much. sorry for all the headache.

Ok well I modded 2 apps, by using adb push and pull and it works fine, the modded widgets both comes up just like how it should with my design added to it.
But whenever i restart my phone the 2 apps just disappears and i haven't got a clue why, they doesn't come up in my widget menu or in the app launcher and i'm having to download them from the market and install them again
When i go to Root Explorer and go to the folder where I pushed it too it says it's still there. I've pushed the app to where it should be /data/app where all the other downloaded apps are stored.
Can anyone help?
Yeah i can help. Root explorer and any other app that lets you edit system files is useless. The only time we have write access to system on a Desire is from a custom recovery. If you flash one of these using Unrevoked then boot to recovery and push files they will stay.

Oh right, well that's just bloody **** ain't it.
Well how do I make flashable zip files then?
Is there a simple and easy way of doing it?
Thanks for the help by the way.
Hey guys i was wondering if there was an apk for the MIUI launcher b/c i really enjoy that launcher but it is unstable right now so if I can get a launcher that would be awesome.
I don't know but ill tell you how to get it. Download miui and then unzip the rom. Go to /system/app and look for an apk named launcher or something similar.

do I extract the file then copy it to my sd card then install from there?
Thanks so much if this works and if it doesn't thanks for the idea!
I just tried it and all i got was "! application not installed" should i try to zip it and flash it? or is there any other route i can take?
Yeah you can push it to /system/app using adb, or copy and paste with root explorer, or make a flashable zip file.

I am a big time noob, so what is the easiest way to do it. I have never used any of these routes and how do you zip a file so that it is flashable? thanks again so much for your help your are super helpful.
so i tried copying and pasting using root explorer and it did not work, i get a message saying "you cannot paste here becaue the file system is read only"

In the upper right corner there I'd a bottom theft says mount rw(read/write) push that then try to paste there, but a lot of the time that will not work so if it does not you can use adb. you plug your phone in with debugging on, place your apk in your sdk tools folder.
My sdk tooks folder is located at c:/androidsdk/tools and say the apk you are using the launcher.apk so i would open the cmd and use the following commands.
cd c:/androidsdk/tools
adb remount
adb push launcher.apk system/app
adb reboot
After each command wait till its done after last command your phone will reboot.

Thanks a bunch for the advice but i have never used abd so I would need to know what the program is called and where to get it and what folder that is and maybe a few attempts at it. Sorry I'm such a noob, all I know how to do is download a rom or kernel and flash from recovery.

we were all noobs at one point if you post your apk here i will make you a flashable zip
Wow thank you So much man you are awesome and so are the other fellows that helped. I gotta un-noob myself at some point in my life. This is the launcher I got when I went into the zip file and went to system/apps/ of the miui rom whether there are other things that make it the way it is I don't know. (folders and no app drawer)
Thanks again guys

Your a lot of help.but kept force closing thanks for the extra work you did. Wish I could thank you more them once on here
not sure why it would be force closing unless it a bad apk if you find another apk you can open the zip up with 7-zip and replace the old one with the new one and close do not unzip it just open

Here ya go. I pulled it out of SalvageMod 1.1
Most likely will need to be pushed to /system/app
You could just re-flash your ROM...

Root explorer
Copy the file over to system/apps and make the permissions the same as the rest of the folder.
If it asked to overwrite just hit yes.

It tells me it has a problem parsing the package. Any suggestions?

You need to place the apk on the root of your sdcard, then open root explorer, enable r/w mode, navigate to sdcard, copy the apk, then get into the system/app folder, then paste.

What steps are you doing? I can't test the file because I don't have an evo at the moment.
I put it at the root of my SD card and then I copy and pasted it to /system/app and then I tried to install it. Could you explain to me what parsing is?
I also mounted r/w
Well the parsing error is cuz its having trouble reading the file.
So does that mean the file is corrupt?
Its possible, I would try re-downloading it.

The problem is because you're trying to install it. You don't install system apps. You just copy and paste it to the /system/app folder. THen make sure your permissions are set correctly, by long pressing on the Music.apk, and selecting permissions. Then be sure that user: read/write are both checked. After that, reboot. That's it. You don't click on 'install'. Copy, paste, check permissions, reboot.
or of course
adb remount
adb push Music.apk /system/app
adb reboot
I just tried all of that and it isnt installed after I reboot.

You finally get your phone back? It's about time!
I just downloaded the Music.apk that I attatched, and can't get it to install. I'm on a Sense rom at the moment, and have never tried installing the Gingerbread Music.apk on a Sense rom, and doubt/not sure that it would even work to begin with. Either that, or maybe there are other files that need to go with it? Any other music player I've installed (HTC music player, MIUI player, and Honeycomb player) has no other necessary files, and you just push the .apk to /system/app and all is good. This one seems different, or it just doesn't work on Sense roms. I'm not sure. I tried the Music.apk from Evervolv too, but that wouldn't work either.
OP, what Rom is it that you're on? Are you currently on a Gingerbread rom? If so, just wipe cache, and dalvik cache, then re flash the ROM, as drmac suggested before. That will give you back all of the apps that came with the rom. If you are indeed on a Gingerbread ROM, you'll get the player you're after back. If you're not on a Gingerbread ROM, I'm not sure that the 2.3GB player will work on it to begin with.
I have just installed the Pays-ROM Defy v6.0 Froyo with Ginger feeling in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943258.
I don't want to use the mms.apk(I cann't remember its name accurately) and delete it, but now I donn't have a text messaging app. So could you please tell me how to recovery it?
Thanks a lot!
BTW, I cann't find a file manager in the ROM.
if you deleted it, youll have to get it from someone else, or you could do a nandroid backup, re install pays ROM and copy the app to your memory card using root explorer or similar, then restore your old backup and install the apk from your memory card

I have got the app folder from CG39.smg, but I don't know which app is for the Text Messagings.
I tried copy Conversations.apk and Conversations.odex to "SystemAppBackup" folder (I have SystemApp Remover installed), and then used SystemApp Remover' recovery function but it didn't work.
Try with Messaging.apk and Messaging.odex. (you can copy those files in your /system/app folder also using adb if you have Android SDK installed on your computer)
Currently I am at work and I don't have the usb cable with me, but when I'll get home I'll send you those files (if you don't get them by then)
Im pretty sure the app needed for sending sms' and settings is something like mms.apk, ill have a look in my system folder for ya
EDIT: yeah im pretty sure its mms.apk, id post mine up for you, but im on cyanogen so itd be a different app.

I tried in this way but the yaffs explorer I used cann't access the root under the Pays-ROM Defy v6.0, which works well under other stock rom. And before I found Root Explorer I have flashed another stock rom because I couldn't wait to stay with a rom cann't send and receive text message. Maybe the mms.apk is also OK.
Sorry for my poor English.

You can just copy and paste it to /system/app. Using a file explorer, but you must set the right permissions afterwards, or if you have a pc, you can use adb, just to push the .apk

when you say "push the .apk" do you basically mean move the downloaded .apk-file to /system/app then install it from there or what?

No push is a command used by adb, so you would use the command "adb push xxxx.apk /system/app" and that would move the apk to that location, you dont need to install apps to /system/ just copy them there
