ok I know I am not the brightest bulb here but I cant seem to get facebook sync to work anymore... I have removed a good handful of apps from the system but left the facebook ones alone. I have even tried to repush them back with no luck. and yes I have wiped the phone a few times with no change.
does anyone know what files are required for it to actually work?

ya i did both.. friendstream didnt hurt me before since i did the wipe tho
I had sync issues when i removed friendstream.apk but i could still sync facebook it just constantly had the sync icon. You can try pushing the friendstream.apk back in. U should be able to leave out the widget if you want

You have to push this into the system/app folder while in recovery with the system folder mounted.

I'm not sure where you stored the friendstream.apk but i'm going to assume root of your c drive.
You have to boot your phone into recovery mode and then go to partitions and mount /system and then on your computer in the command line prompt type
adb push c:\FriendStream.apk /system/app/
Does anyone have the Sense Facebook apk (and odex, if it's needed)? I removed it and can't seem to find it posted anywhere.

There are two ways to get your Widgets back when they disappear.
1. Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > HTC Sense > Clear data.
This works, but you loose all the modifications you did to your home screens to get them the way you like.
Or
This method will preserve your screens without losing anything.
2. Use an app like Root Explorer (paid app but well worth it). Goto the following directory /system/app ,make the directory r/w, Click on the com.htc.MusicWidget.apk and tell it to install. Then go to the HTCClockWidget.apk and tell it to install.
If any other htc widgets are missing it is safe to come back and install them too if need be.
Now go to your home screen long tap on were the clock goes and install the clock, then go to were ever your music widget is and do the same. Also for any other HTC Widgets that may be missing.
Walla all fixed and your screens are still intact.
Thanks I needed this.

My pleasure. I got sick and tired of having to set things up all the time as I am always jumping from rom to rom.
I don't have HTCWeather.apk or HTCClock.apk in /system/app
I do have HTCWeatherWallpaper.apk and HTCClockWidget.apk though.
So I guess i can't do this unless I push the weather and clock apps in adb push style. Anybody know where I can find those? I imagine my widgets and music player widget disapeared because they didnt come with the rom...

Just install HTCClockWidget.apk and your clock will be back
I updated the first post to clarify a bit better on which files to install. You can install any of the htc widget files without hurting anything
Which apk handles the Wifi/Bluetooth/Airplane/GPS toggle widgets? Those I lost and use all the time.
EDIT: must be HTCsettingwidgets.apk
duh.
EDIT2: Confirmed. that's the one.

I never had to redo that one. It came back on it's own when I did the clock and music. But I guess your mileage may vary from mine a bit.

Is there any way to do this without Root Explorer, or a free alternative? Or maybe some adb shell commands?

Never tried it in adb. I am sure you probably could. just be a matter of making the system/app directory r/w. Then installiing the apps. Since you don't wipe, or clear the data, it is still there so your stuff remains.
Any adventurous souls who really know their way around adb want to take it on. I am sure we would all appreciate it. maybe even write a script to do it for us.
I'm getting "application not installed" when I try to install the widgets, even though I made /system/app and the files themselves r/w (and /system is mounted rw). What am I doing wrong?
Same thing here. Running DamageControl 2.07
not to be a ****, but losing is spelled 'losing', and where is spelled 'where'.
ah, and the clock w/ weather widget is called
HTCClockWidget (obvious I guess, but this is the one I was looking for (and doesn't have a com. prefix))

Create a ReinstallWidget.bat file and add these lines into:
adb remount
adb shell cd /system/app
adb shell install /system/app/Calendar.apk
adb shell install /system/app/DCSWeather.apk
adb shell install /system/app/com.htc.WeatherWdiget.apk
adb shell install /system/app/HtcClockWidget.apk
adb shell install /system/app/htcbookmarkwidget.apk
adb shell install /system/app/htccalendarwidgets.apk
adb shell install /system/app/com.htc.MusicWidget.apk
adb shell install /system/app/HtcContacts.apk
adb shell install /system/app/htccontactwidgets.apk
After creating the file, let me know if it works. No risk here if it's already installed, ADB will just report the app is already installed and do nothing else.
Haven't tried this myself, but it may work.

This is getting rediculous. I have done FULL wipes of every option, reflashed, cleared sense, tried to reinstall using root explorer, and still can't get the damn things back...

its funny how its working for everyone all of a sudden. some sort of a conspiracy I tell you.
I somehow managed to remove the browser apk from the system folder to use Opera mobile, I didn't like the at&t logo, thinking I can restore the stock browser on a android factory reset, but the browser never came back. Does anyone have the browser apk that I can push to system?
If this is not the correct method, would you direct?
thanks in advance

youll have to push it with adb. root explorer wont work.
Yep, I I accidentally the whole thing. I clicked the wrong button in TIBU.
Anyways, I got the phone yesterday, updated it to 2.3.6, and rooted it, but otherwise left it alone. I just rooted so I could restore my apps from my previous phone with TIBU. I did not restore data. Today, I was trying to fix an issue I was having with accounts and sync, and I meant to freeze it, but I hit uninstall and wasn't paying attention to the prompts, so it uninstalled it. It was backed up, but I can't re-install it. I even found the app's .apk in system/app folder, and tried to re-install it but it will not, it just tries for like a second and then says "Not installed". The option is now missing from my settings menu.
I would really like a way to fix it without having to wipe and re-install the OS, but if I have to I can.
nb4 "did you search?" yes, I did. I couldn't find anything that helped.
Thanks in advance, everyone.
Download a rom for your phone thats2.3.6 and unzip it. Go into system/app and take the apk that u need. Push it to your system/app folder with root explore. Change permissions to the ones on the pic and reboot and u should be good.

I did that, but the Applications and Sync option is not there.
If I did a recovery update to 2.3.6 again, would that fix it perhaps? or will it not let me update it that way since it's already on 2.3.6?

Actually, I did just that, and it fixed it! sigh. I wish I had thought of that right away. Now I'm back to my original problem that I was trying to fix, though. When i try to add my facebook account in accounts and sync, I click on add account, select the facebook icon, and it just goes back to the previous page without doing anything.
Oh well. At least I got the big problem fixed, thank you for helping.

reflash whatever rom you currently have, but don't wipe the data/factory reset. Since the file you need is in the system folder it'll rewrite.

I just ran the 2.3.6 update again. It fixed it, but it turns out that the problem I was trying to fix in the first place which led me to uninstall the app was not a problem at all, it was google locking out facebook sync on nexus S meh, whatever. I only did it for the pictures anyways. Thanks though!
Hi Guys,
Every ROM I flash I try to Freeze/Uninstall and remove from Boot Many, the YouTube App.
I don;t use it ever, but even if it says freezed successfully it still comes back after reboot.
What's so special about it and will it creat a problem if I delete it and main question is how?
Thank you

In my other android device experience, Nook Color / Simple Touch, YouTube is instrumental in the Google Apps authentication process. For instance to get market working on nooted versions of those devices you had to sign into YouTube first.
Why are you trying to get rid of it?

Fair enough. Why don't you give it a try? Make a nandroid backup and then delete the file via ADB in recovery mode (or move it to /data/local/tmp for easy restore). Clear Cache / Dalvik reboot and see if anything isn't working properly.
I would say you can delete via ADB in ICS but many people, myself included, are having issues mounting /system in ICS. It could be possible that this failure for /system to consistently mount could be why TiBu isn't freezing it properly.
Use root uninstaller, its how I have removed all system apps since my gb 2.3.1 days on my x10. A very effective method
Thank you for responces.
The proper way I found would be to transfer it to a User App and uninstall.

I use 7zip. open the archive and delete it, or add whatever .apk you desire. I always do this before I even flash a rom. Winrar should work fine, though.
My calendar app wasn't working at all, nor Google calendar. I deleted the "calendar storage" and "calendar" using titanium backup and then I lost the backups.
Can someone help a comrade with the original "calendar storage" and "calendar" apks so I can reinstall them on my EMUI 5 rooted nougat?
Thanks!
Here is calendar storage. I don't have the stock calendar anymore because I don't use it either.
Use Google calendar or blackberry calendar, both great.

By any chance do you know how to install this app?
If you're rooted, just drop it on the system/priv-app folder using a file manager. Make sure to change the permissions on it to allow all r/w and restart.
Of that doesn't do it, let me know and I'll try to hunt the specific folder it's located.
