standard contact application

[Guest miguelsanchez79]

Im looking for standard android contact application for my desire (not HTC one)

I know it's available in the kitchen but I dont really want to bake new ROM and flash it again as everything works charm.

Is there any chance to push it from zip file into device using recovery mode?

Where can I find it?

Thanks for any help

Hi - How do i use this? Complete noob - have rooted my phone using r5.

Tried adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/ but get failed notice.

Tried adb install and also fails.

Thanks.

Also a complete Noob here.

Eventually managed to root my desire (had to use the R5 method on XDA Dev as the R6 here refused to work.

I have the Contacts.apk from this thread. Could someone explain how to 'push it' to the device? I'd really appreciate it.

I've been reading this guide, but I don't know how to get to the 'recovery screen with green menu' without re-rooting the whole thing, which I don't really want to do.

Cheers

Mike

Tried to install this using ADB and got the error message: Failed to copy 'contacts.apk' to '/system/app/contacts.apk': Read-only file system.

Any idea what the problem might be?

[Guest DarrenMowat]

You can't push files too the phones system partition when its booted normally because its read only. If you reboot into recovery, then run

adb shell mount /system

then you can push the file over with

adb push contacts.apk /system/app/contacts.apk

hope this helps :angry:

[Guest Rexx Calibur]

Thanks. Tried that. It seems happier, but when I boot my phone it doesn't appear to be there. When pushing the file, I get "1459 KB/s (0 bytes in 700451.00s)" But nothing appears to happen. What am I doing wrong?

[Guest DarrenMowat]

0 bytes in 700451.00s

It sounds like the /system partition isn't mounted. Are you using the recovery from ROM Manager?

[Guest Rexx Calibur]

Indeed I am...This post seems to suggest that it isn't possible...

But some people in this thread say they've already done it.

How would I mount the system partition then?

[Guest DarrenMowat]

Yeah, it might not work, it all depends on whats been altered in the rom your using.

Reboot into recovery, go to the partition menu, then click mount /system. Then try and push the file over :angry:

It works with 2.1 but not with 2.2 FroYo.

Hope it help

adb hates me... I allways prefer to flash zip from Rom Manager

Here are standard contacts, that seem to works on my MCR R4

I use this to create zip

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717437

very easy to use...

[Guest tonemgub]

I can push the Contacts.apk to the /system/app folder but it doesn't actually install...

adb install Contacts.apk gives me, /sbin/sh: pm: not found

Also tried installing the zip file through recovery but I have the same problem. It shows up in /system/app but isn't actually installed.

I'm running the stock 2.1 ROM rooted using unrEVOked.

Any ideas?
