Use a file explorer (e.g. Root Explorer or ES). For some incomprehensible reason danalo considers Google Talk bloatware and doesn't keep it installed in his rom. It should be somewhere in the system/apps folder as a .bak file. Just rename it back to the .apk and you should be good to go.
Yep just goto /system/app with Root Explorer (or similar) and rename 'Talk.apk.bak' to 'Talk.apk'. Reboot and it should appear.
I've pulled it out of system and installed it as a user app so I don't have to reinstall every release.

root explorer will not allow me to rename it.
did you give ESFile Ex root permission in the settings menu?

Make sure u click that "mount R/W" button in the folder you're in. If you can't you're not rooted.

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.

EStrong's File Explorer has a root option too, but the last time I tried using ES, it would only ever work once. If I rebooted or exited the app, I'd have to FC it and Wipe Data or else it'd hang up trying to open back up.

Copy both files to system/app and give them the same permissions as the other files in that folder.
Do the same with the attached files (LG Home selector).
Reboot the phone and it will ask you what home app to use.
Afterwards, you can delete the apk of your current Home app.

I've actually pushed the files over via ADB, but it doesn't install for some reason.... and I can't just copy it into System/app normally because it fails...which is why I wanted to see if any one can create a flashable zip. :/
OMGGGGG Who knew this can be so hard for ONE app. lol.

Hello,
I'm failing to install Asus Day Scene 2.2.2 on my Galaxy Note 10.1. Please help. it simple says "Application not installed"
Where did you find that app?. Installing it, supposed it is an .apk file:use a file explorer like Solid Explorer, go to system/app. Solid Explorer will give permissions for you. Just copy and paste. Reboot and try if it works

I got an update from them and I'm on Clean ROM with an unlocked bootloader. It downloaded automatically and when it shut my phone off to install, my ClockWork MOD said it was unsigned so I didn't install it.
If I install that will it re-lock my bootloader, and bring me back to stock and override my kernal and Clean ROM? I would like to know this before installing this if it's needed. Thanks.

Try deleting file download in etc/fota and rename or freeze otacerts.apk and fwupdate.apk.
I'm stock, because. I don't know how to root, and the 4.3 is a massive disappoint to me - the battery drain is extraordinarily high. 3 hours of light use drained 50% juice.
On the VZ forums, people are livid.

I really dont think the OS has anything much to do with battery life. Maybe it changed some location settings which would drain battery.

Use root explorer or ES file explorer navigate to this directory etc/fota and delete any file in this directory if any. Then navigate to /system/app and look for these otacerts.apk and fwupdate.apk. Rename them to otacerts.apk.bak and fwupdate.apk.bak.

You just disable the software download service so OTA can't download anymore. If the file already downloaded, it should be in the etc/fota location and you don't see any in there right? if you don't see any then you should be fine now.
