I was using Titanium Backup to get rid of the bloatware on my Infuse and in my haste I inadvertently deleted the "Messaging 2.2.1" app which evidentally is the SMS app.
I can still send messages since I use ChompSMS but I can not receive them.
Anyone know how I can get my messaging back without installing a custom rom?
Thanks!
Copy the following apk into your /system/app directory (use root explorer, adb, etc): http://db.tt/m5HoIot

If I had known I wouldn't be able to sync my Facebook contacts without this I wouldn't have removed it.. Can someone extract/upload the APK so that I can reinstall it without having to flash my DamageControl ROM all over again? I found an APK on another site but it doesn't seem to be working (v1.0, size is 160.73K)
Can someone please help?
*bump*
Am I really going to have to reflash the ROM?
you can easily extract the apk from the rom yourself; if you have the DC rom on your computer, just open it using winrar or some other program and go to system/app and find the app you need; then just push the app to your phone system/app
Thanks so much! I didn't know it would just be sitting in there in the zip ready for me to extract and install it! Your help is greatly appreciated
I don't have it on a computer, could someone post the apk for me?
Pretty please?
here you go
I'm new at all this stuff. Can you explain to me what to do after I download the HtcFacebook.apk. I saved it to my SD card and put the phone in recovery mode and tried to update it that way.
It's not working and I don't know what to do.
Like the previous poster I deleted HTC Facebook not realizing it would cause my contacts to not sync up with FB.
Thank you.

Push the file to /system/app using a root explorer (Root Explorer or ES File Explorer are best ones imo), then fix permissions & reboot

Make sure its permissions match other permissions in system/app. Should be rw-r-r.

i did the same thing with the deleting of the facebook sense and i have done everything on this thread but when i reboot in to recovery i do not see the "fix permissions" is that supposed to be in the root explorer or on the white screen, please help me im a noob
Having the same Problem on the Shadow Hawk Rom. Pushed htcfacebook.apk from saga rom to phone and fixed permissions. Looking good in Root explorer. But i cant add the htc facebook account. No contact pictures and updates in contacts
Maybe need the people.apk too?
update:
uninstalled original facebook app. now it looks fine. contacts + calender sync
I've had issues with Facebook for HTC before also. If you delete/re-add your facebook account in your "Accounts and Sync" it will repopulate your phone with facebook contacts.

Do you mean, copy & paste? Because a "push", in computer admin/network language is to write a script, so that when users login to their account, they have no choice than to accept a file or upgrade, (or what have you) that is being "pushed" upon them, by the network... Sorry to be splitting hairs, but it seems we're making things sound unnecessarily complicated (and inaccurate).
Same issues
Good morning all,
I too was an idiot and deleted Facebook for htc sense, and so far none of the solutions have worked for me. I have a rooted evo (I used unrevoked), and using root explorer. I have downloaded the social app file, tried installing zip from sd card (recovery mode), moved the files to system/app and changed permissions, and then booted into recovery and fixed permissions there. When I go to accounts and sync it says com.htc.bg has stopped unexpectedly. It is my assumption that somewhere in that jumble was a step missed, therefore I dig up this thread for assistance. As always any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

Howdy all.
I was looking today to transfer an apk to my friend but unfortunately I don't know where they are stored. I tried to send him Linda file manager through the Share this app via the Market but you actually need data for that option. So I was considering to locate the corresponding .apk and transfer it via Bluetooth but no luck.
Can we do it this way?
TIA

I installed App backup & reinstall and it saves apps as apk files. There is probably another way, but this worked for me

If you have a file manager app such as root explorer just go to your data/app folder (its in the root directory of your phone) and all the Apps you've installed should be in there

Awhile back I kicked the HTCalbum.apk photo viewer and now I cannot attach pix to the stock HTC email client.
Note: This apk must come from the stock AT&T Inspire GB 2.3.3 rom. Others Ive tried will not install due to the wrong size.

For some reason I cannot attach photos via my stock email client. I select attach gallery I get the "Sorry android mail has stopped unexpectedly..." Before I never had an issue. Awhile back I kicked there stock photo viewer out and loaded QuickPic. Now I cannot find the app that I kicked anywhere on the net. If someone has a copy of that app I would appreciate it. Or, maybe its something else.

Just download the rom that has it and unzip it. Then just take it out the app folder in system.

I dont have the rom. Im using the stock AT&T that came with the phone. All I did is root it. If you can send me a link to that rom I would apprexiate it.

just unzip it
Thanks for the file, but like the other one I found it refuses to install. I get a window that says, "Application not installed." Looks like Im going to have to re-install everything... Unless you have an idea as to why.
Use es file explorer its what I use. Just go to settings on es explorer and at the bottom enable root explorer then enable mount file system then back out es explorer settings go to folder with apk in es explorer tap on apk it will as to install tap yes. Try that way itschow I mount all my apks

Again thanks, but it didnt work. This seems to only happen with sys files. Anymore ideas? Maybe the HTCalbum.odex is needed?
I think I shot something out of my file system. Probably am going to reinstall.
I have no more ideas guess reinstall would be best option now.

I have an Alcatel OT 918A (gingerbread 2.3.6, kernel version 2.6.35.7) that I just rooted, but unfortunately while trying to remove bloatware I accidentally deleted the live wallpaper launcher & now I can't open the live wallpaper gallery. help anyone?
Also in trying to remove the bloatware from the phone I keep gettin the message "cannot remove system app. failed to locate the apk file." Is there anyway to get around this?
search google for the name of the app you deleted (eg. livewallpaper.apk or whatever it was called)
and use root explorer/root browser lite or any other root file manager, go to system/app, mount as r/w (in top right corner) and long press the app you wish to delete

Have you tried just extracting the text messaging app from any stock Rom? I was on aviator Rom(Moto) and just switched to eclipse (aosp). I just extracted the apk and ran it. Then I used titanium backup to freeze the stock aosp messaging app (or u can back up and uninstall).
The stock app might reinstall on reboot since its a system app. To remove you can use root explorer and navigate to /system/app and mount r/w then delete the messaging.apk. you can also copy the Moto text messaging apk in that same directory and change the permission to rw-r-r. You can accomplish all this with root explorer or any file manager with r/w to system functionality.
I saw a post somewhere that had the zip files for a dark and light version, but can't remember where, but with any system apk, you could pretty much follow the steps I outlined. Just be sure to back up anything you delete just in case.

Does anyone have the stock Motorola app? Trying to get group mms working on CM10.1 and the way I want to do it is through the stock app.
I tried backing up the app with Titanium backup. but it won't show up in the app draw. I've check the permissions and everything.

The app shows up in the app draw but FC every time. I guess it needs something else when running on an AOSP ROM.
