Has anyone backed up the stock applications? I accidentally deleted audiotuning.apk and want to put it back, even though I haven't determined what it's for. If anyone has backed these up to their desktop, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could send it to me so I don't have to reinstall.
Coming from a lifetime use of Blackberry, it seems we can't fix our mistakes as easily on Android

I use the Sdx Stock App to backup and delete system apps. If you're rooted it's invaluable.

Thank you!!!!
It seems I can't copy this over to system\apps. Looks like the .odex was deleted also. Could you please attach this for me too? Hoping that will do it. I'm rooted so I don't know why it's not showing up (using root explorer)
Or do I have to do this using adb ?
I am going to zip all these up and post them on here for other morons like me after

Rename it to .odex it's not really a zip file. I had to name it that to get around the forum limitations.
I'm pretty sure you have to do it using ADB and mount the system/app directory as writable. If you install the Sdx tool you can backup a few apps, then navigate to the sdx directory on the sdcard that gets created and manually add the audioTuining files in there and then restore them using the Sdx app.
That's a long way around ADB but it should work.
Thanks again!!!
Jeeze what a hell of a job it is to push a few files to /system folder
Anyway, got them over there...Unavailable to actually install it (no idea why) but at least it's sitting back in there
That takes care of my OCD until I notice what it affected
where can i find that sdx tool? are there any other free apps out there that I can back up my phone with?
I'd be most grateful if someone could attach VoiceSearch.apk, and VoiceSearch.odex.
Accidentally deleted.

Edit:

What are you restoring from, Rom, filesystem, firmware could be the culprit. Notice any errors while making the Nandroid?
Did your rename the backups? Remove all spaces from the names if you did. That fixed it right up for me.

has anyone else seen a system folder with 2 or 3 question marks after doing a nandroid restore with TWRP.

it's the first folder in system of root
Based on mine, I am guessing that ought to be the "addon.d" folder.
OR not... Hard to say really since I am running an AOSP rom and I am guessing you are running a TW rom.
yeah, running a tw rom. when I try to get into that folder I get an error
Hey guys,
I think I accidentally deleted the people system APK?! I can no longer save contacts. Wondering what the best way to fix this issue would be without flashing back to stock rom. I am currently rooted and running stock 4.4.2 KK, but I have made a lot of MODS and am running the Galaxy Gear Manager for my watch which is a huge process to get running that I don't want to have to repeat.
Any help is mucho appreciated!!!
If you can find the apk somewhere install that. Otherwise flash the system.img from the factory image.

Will flashing the system.img reset everything?

No, it'll reinstall all the system files. If you modified any of them you'll lose that but I doubt you modified any. This will only work if your bootloader is unlocked. If it isn't then you'll lose everything unlocking it.

Have super su on your internal sd card so you can flash it in your recovery. You'll lose root.

Do you still need help with this? It's not that difficult to just pull the app and move it into the right system folder. Once you do that, change permissions to match the other apps, and reboot, you should be back to normal. I'll post the apk if you need it.

The APK would be amazing! I haven't been able to find it, I got the System.img that I was going to flash after work, but the APK would be a lot easier! Thanks!!
Hi,
It's Contact.apk you would need?

No problem. I'll have it uploaded in a bit. It's just the People / Contacts apk, right? And you're odexed or deodexed?

You can pretty much just download any ROM available, extract the Contacts.apk file (I think its in system/priv-app/) and put it on your device.

Yes, the People/contacts apk, and I am still stock, just rooted and have an unlocked bootloader, so odexed, I believe.

I tried that with one of the apk's I found, but I couldn't get it to work. I may have gotten a corrupt file though.
Here's a flashable zip in attachment (wipe Dalvik cache just in case) for Contacts.apk (with the .odex file)...
You still have ContactsProvider.apk?

He might not be in a situation where he can download a large file like a complete rom. He did mention being at work. Anyway, these should work:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9903887/Apps/Contacts.apk
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9903887/Apps/Contacts.odex
If you are deodexed, let me know, and don't use just the apk ^ there or it will force close constantly.
Just use a file manager that has root access (ES File Manager is a good, free choice, if you don't have another) and move the app and odex file to:
/system/priv-app
Make sure to change the permissions. The 3 Read options should be checked and the first Write option. If you aren't sure, just read the permissions of another app in that folder and match it. Then just reboot and should be back to normal.

Awesome!, thanks. The only thing I see in my app/system directory that pertains to contacts is the "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk" I will be attempting to get this fixed when I get home in a couple hours.

You need to change the permissions. If you didnt do that, then it wont work. es0tericcha0s explained it in his last post

Dropped those 2 files into the correct /system/priv-app, changed permissions, still nothing? What am I missing?

Hey guys,
I'm asking for a couple more apks, for some reason, in between trying to update to 5.0 and all kinds of fixes to get root, and then coming back to 4.1, something got borked and my phone app doesn't work.
I was hoping someone could extract the dialer.apk and incallui.apk for me.
If you're rooted, on 4.1, and you're not sure how to extract apks, it's super easy.
Literally install an app called apk extractor, and just choose those two from the list, and it will do the job.
Alternatively, if you have a root file browser, you can navigate to system/priv-app and find the folders that contain both the dialer, and incallui, and just copy both folders to the SD card or some other memory.
If someone could share those with me, I'd be super grateful. Thanks.

You are my personal Lord and Saviour! Thank you very much!
I absolutely needed incallui.apk, I still had Teleservice, but thanks anyway. The other apk was the dialer, but that's alright, I'm using a replacement. Everything is working. Thank you very much!
The NEXT time I have to completely wipe and restore my phone, I'm gonna take some time to backup all of the stock apps, just in case. I've been trying to extract them from a system.img, but it seems to be next to impossible.

Yes, but it's alright. I'm using the google phone app instead. The problem is that it doesn't replace the incallui, so basically I had a phone app, but no way to make or receive calls.
It's all working now, not an issue. Thank you very much.
When I have a chance I'll spend a whole day and make some backups so this won't happen again.

It's not one of those. It might not be under dialer, it might just be under phone.
If you're interested, I can send you the file I replaced it with. It's the stock dialer for Google.

BTW, here is the google dialer.
Same idea, just copy it to priv-app and edit permissions
You can pick it from apps/default apps.
Give it a try.
