Guest tilal6991 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 If you want orange stuff back you need to flash back to stock - sticky at the top of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mub6 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks for the replies. I don't want the orange image or stock room. I like mine the way it its. Just want the two apps mentioned above. Is there no way to download the ipk from anywhere or extract them from the ROM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadashi Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 download the stock mentioned above and take the apps you want from that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) the gestures are part of the orange launcher launcher (i think) >> OHS_480x800_SKATE_A1.00.01_apk mail >>> orangemail_755_23.43.3439.3_s_t_.apk hotmail>>> OWL_TS_L_GENERIC_SKATE_A1.2a.2f.apk gmail should work though, & can be downloaded from the market Edited October 25, 2011 by tillaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mub6 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 so i flash back to stock, extract the apps and flash back the rom of my choice? how do i go about extracting the apps from the stock rom? is there any kind soul on here who is willing to do it for me and upload them? :) tbh i might even consider reverting back to the stock, or even the overclockalble stock kernel as listed in one of the threads here. gmail and k9 mail doesnt work with the current rom i'm running - bluemonte latest. can someone please explain to me what difference there is between the actual roms? thanks in advance, Mubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest B.A.Nana Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Just out of interest (I've not dared any mods to my OMC yet, only owned it a few days), when I take the plunge, how will I go about keeping those Orange apps and other apps that I don't want to lose (like mub6). Do you just backup the whole lot to the SD and then do the thinning of apps later?.

You just download it, unzip it and all the apk files are in the system/app folder. Pick the ones you want and copy them to your sdcard then navigate to them with a file manager on your phone and install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mub6 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Cheers for that guys, sync and everything is turned on but i keep getting the message "the application gmail (process com.google.android.gm) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again" same thing happens with the K9 email client, i dont mean the xt9 keyboard, thats fine.... I also dont like the messages and contacts format. i dont have a drafts folder, and in contacts, under the dialer tabs, on the custom rom, i used to be able to push the numbers and it would bring up a list of contacts who's name corresponds with the letters under that number if you know what i mean? there is no mark all function for contacts that would allow me to delete them all either :S Any ideas? im thinking of trying out some other roms, does titanium backup make a backup of all of my apps and settings so that i can revert the same settings to any new roms that i flash? Thanks again, Mubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest achromic Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 One thing that hasn't been mentioned, you could try cooking a rom for your skate (courtesy of Paul) but I think that you need to have paid for subsciption Sent from my ZTE-BLADE using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mub6 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 cheers for the replys. that sms go app is the dogs bollocks. great suggestion, cheers pal. i even went and got the GO dialer app, and that is just as good as its sms counterpart... which are the stock dialer apps? are they called Contacts, Contact Storage, Dialer and Dialer Storage? might as well get rid of them too... are they safe to remove? Also, how do i stop background apps from starting? My task manager is being absolutely raped by useless apps like Maps and Voice search. I've got Taskkiller free but that doesnt kill these apps I noticed that the two GO apps above also like to leach off my memory. even though i deselected the "always on" option under GO sms, how do i remedy all of this? so many problems - lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
