Please help. I accidently deleted google talk after I rooted my phone and now apps in the market won't get past starting download. I found a gtalk apk. on this forum and tried it out, but after I downloaded using Astro Manager, Google Talk won't work. When I go to open the app, it just flashes and goes back to my home screen. Any ideas on what I could do? I desperately need y'alls help, because my phone is pretty much useless without the market.
Here's what I did. I deleted all data of Google Talk on my phone using Titanium Backup Pro so that I could have a clean start. I downloaded the gtalk apk. zip onto my computer. I then copied it from my computer to a folder in Astro Manager on my phone using the usb cable. There I installed the three apk.s in the order of TalkProvider, gtalkservice, and then Talk. I turned my phone off and then back on and it didn't work. I've tried several times. I also used apk.s off of 4shared.com and xda.com. Where did I go wrong?
Please help guys!

I deleted the default browser from my lg optimus m for metropcs after root. thought i had a back up for the root, but didn't, and restored to factory settings, now i don't have any web browser at all, and android market does not work. it starts downloading an app, and goes to 100%, afterwards the application crashes and there is nothing on the phone and nothing in downloading list anymore..it just vanishes.. also, i have gmail on the phone but it does not show any new mail. although it does go the inbox...Navigation does not work either.is this because i do not have a web browser? youtube does work.
I tried downloading web browser on the sd card from another phone and putting it on my phone, but i cannot see it at all.
What can i do to to put a web browser without using the market? and once i do get a browser will this fix all the other stuff?
I didn't really delete anything after root other than bloatware.

You Can Always Make A Nandroid Backup & Flash Another Rom, Either That, Or Try To Flash The Newest "Gapps-20101218" Also You Could Try The Skyfire Browser!!
Hope This Helps You!!

I did the same thing....easiest thing to do is remove all you root info, super user and any other things that were not on the phone. take it back to metro and have them replace it. say that you were just on the phone with someone the phone turned off and now you are missing apps. they replaced mine with no issues. or you can find the LGNPST 1.2 store model and both the LGNPST components 5.0.12.0 and generics 5.0.10.0 restore your phone. you will also need the files to reload the stock software.....
You could pull the browser.apk from another rom and push it to the phone in adb or make a flashable zip or just reflash the rom.

I rooted my phone and besides that got totally lost. I deleted my camera while using titanium backup, please help me get it back, I swear I'll never attempt to be smart again.
If you backed it up properly it'll be at the bottom of the list and greyed / crossed out. You'll be able to restore it from there.
If not, search for something like yourphonehere camera apk 2.2, then download it to your phone and install it from Downloads or a file manager.
The app is corrupt and I cant open or uninstall it.
I tried to use adb to uninstall it, but it just said "failure"
I used the perma-temp-root and Root Uninstaller, but it still wouldn't let me uninstall the app.
Using ES File Manager, I manually found all *vvm* in the /system/app and /data/app and /data/data folders and either deleted or renamed the files and folder.
Finally after that I was able to install TMO VVM from the market and get it working again.
What a PITA!
Please note:
The reason for that is the MT4GS has the Visual Voice mail built in.
To access it go to:
Phone > Voicemail
When you download the app from the store, it will work temporally after which it will automatically get corrupted /deleted.
I installed the one from the market by accident a as well. You need to temp root and use titanium backup to uninstall it. Then use the one built into the phone

hey guys, i accidentally deleted both of the T-mobile one, and the one built in the phone, can some1 post it up, so that i can reinstall it? thanks a bunch, as a temp, i have the tmo. one installed for now.
My Nexus S 4G's power button stopped working. For better or for worse, I decided to install a new ROM without dealing with this problem. The install was fine, however I used ROM Manager to do it and for some reason it didn't install the gapps; I don't have the Google Play/Android Market app, and don't know how to get it. Keep in mind that my power button doesn't work, so I can't just install gapps from a .zip (which I do have but are unavailable).
Is there a way I can download the gapps with the default browser, or even just putting a file onto the SD? Even if it's just the market, I should be able to restore everything fine with that. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
1) download this file. http://db.tt/bJd0WZOq
3)install root explorer
2) copy the downloaded file to /system/app. Via root explorer
4) restart your phone!!
Hope this helped you!!

Ok so false alarm on the success. I managed to download the .apk of Titanium Backup and restore my apps and data, however my phone is not synched with a Google account (there was strangely no option for it when I booted the ROM) and I don't have any gapps nor do I have access to the market (Google Play Store closes immediately when I attempt to open it). Any suggestions for a solution?
I also installed the Gmail .apk and it also closes immediately.
Its simple .. you are not logged in!
Go to settings and then account and select Gmail or login to your Gmail
And synchronize it!!
It should fix the problem.

Well as I said, when booting the ROM there was no option for logging in. Strangely, there is also no option for Gmail under Accounts, only "Email", "Corporate", and "Dropbox". Could it be a problem with the ROM? I'm using Android Open Kang Project (AOKP) Milestone 4
Can you backup and flash a different ROM?
Well I suppose I could. I was hoping it wasn't a ROM issue, since I liked this ROM, but I if that's the heart of the issue than I have to.
The other day I did one really dumb taboo thing everyone knows not to do. I was messing with my phone at 1:30 am doing stupid unproductive things. and then bam, I deleted LG Home. without this I can't go to the homescreen. I backed the apk up but I don't know where to access this. using root unistaller.
Somehow by going to the factory reset screen I managed to make it possible for me to boot the phone back up, only still there is no home screen. I can use google voice to make calls and send texts and emails. But I have no app folder or settings and I am quite a noob.
could Someone either tell me how to reinstall LG Home or get a rom that works back onto my phone. Any solution would be great.

You can try to flash this through cwm.
h t t p://w w w.android-files.de/P920/launcherLG.zip
It´s LGHome.apk and LGHome.odex from 21D
well I have the P925g, my brother has the same model. I was thinking I could simply copy the files from his phone into the appropriate folder. Would anyone be able to tell me where I could copy these files from/to? If i could do this I'm sure it would work.

System/app
If you're rooted
Sent from my CM7 Thrill
Well I'm not to sure If it is rooted anymore. I erased all my user data, but I did not factory reset. I'll be checking later if i can access those files. But I'll have to access them via USB connection to my computer. My brothers phone where I'll copy the files from is not rooted so I'm not sure if I can copy them from him or not. I'm going to see what more I can do for my phone tommorow. I hate when this happens. The last time I bricked my phone I couldn't even get to the factory reset screen.
Now that I can get to the factory reset screen I don't even see much use in it because the factory reset option doesn't work like I would have expected. If you can even factory reset through that screen is a mystery to me because I could not get it to work. Every time I tried to initiate factory reset it just went back in the menu and no other button seamed to initiate factory reset. I feel like I'm over looking a lot of options here that I just wouldn't think of trying because of my lack of knowledge here.
I'm very dissapointed in myself and in LG right now.
So I,ve found that I already have the lghome.apk backed up on my phone. but as I cannot go to the homescreen or view files and folders on my phone I'm wondering how I will even launch the apk.
I can still use google voice commands to to other tasks like read emails. is there a way I can access my file system or the market through this?
NVM I checked I don't think it's possible. I cannot use the apk to reinstall the apk because I do not have a home screen or any apps that could open this. even my settings aren't working. and clockwork mod only bricked my phone. so i cannot install rom manager and did not.

If you can get into settings, enable USB Debugging Mode.
Then upload LGHome.apk to the forums.
If you could access your emails then you have data connectivity. Why not open market.android.com on your pc log into your google account and install some launcher through it...
Where is the problem to flash this file through cmd ?
h t t p://w w w.android-files.de/P920/launcherLG.zip
or build another update.zip with adwlauncher.apk in it.
