Hi!
Seems I'm not the only on that got carried away a little by deleting some (for me) unusefull apps on my droid.
since I'm using a third party calendar I thought (I proved myself wrong) that the stock calendar wouldn't be of much use. Apperantly.... It is.
Whe syncing my exchange mail / contacts / calendars it give me an error on the calendar part.
Typically example of OOPS!
Who has the stock calendar as APK?
I'm not sure whether it is the google calendar that support the agenda sync on mail for exchange...
From whatever ROM you are using, get the calendar apk from the zip.
Should be in system/app.
And push it to system/app on your phone.

How did you delete the .apk file originally. When I try to delete files with ES File Explorer it tells me I cannot delete the file
There are a few I would like to get rid of that I don't use, just to free up some space. namely Stocks, twitter and such.
rooted my phone.
btw. restored my image with clockwork to overcome the issue (luckily I made a clockwork backup 2 days ago)
however there seems to be a way to remove stock apps.

Daily, my Gmail will no longer sync with the web version and even though the mobile inbox shows no literally unread messages, the counter will have a number above 0. I am able to clear this by working in the web inbox but should not have to.
I have read everywhere that the solution seems to be clearing the data and cache from the application Gmail Storage but I do not have this application listed under Settings - Applications - All.
I have a HTC Hero CDMA currently running CM6.0 with the latest version of Gapps flashed (gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip). I restored my nandroid of my stock rom and was able to see Gmail Storage. Using Titanium Backup, I backed up just the Gmail Storage portion but was unable to install it due to it being a .tar. I did find out that Gmail Storage corresponds to the file GmailProvider.apk. The latest Gapps zips listed do not contain the GmailProvider.apk.
I have tried manually installing the GmailProvider.apk and also using Terminal Emulator to copy the file from my SD card into /system/app. I was able to get the apk visible in /system/app but after reboot, I was still unable to see Gmail Storage in my applications list.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I am missing? Do the new versions of Gapps no longer use the GmailProvider.apk for installing/running Gmail Storage?
Thank you for any help anyone can offer.
I am bumping this because I am having the same issue.
I receive Gmail messages fine. I can read them and everything.
However, when I archive them, they disappear from the inbox view but the counter still includes them. And if I log in to Gmail.com on the web, I can see the "archived" messages still sitting in my inbox marked Unread.
Also, sending messages from the application doesn't work. They just sit in my outbox.
The application is behaving as if it can only read my Gmail account, and cannot create or modify. It's really weird and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am rooted running CM 6.1.1 and flashed gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip from goo-inside.me
Guys, at some point, not sure when, my check boxes to select sync options on Google accounts is missing. If I go to Menu>>Settings>>Accounts and select my Google account, the options for checking/unchecking Calendar, Contacts, etc. is missing. Any idea why they went missing? Phone is rooted using Z4Root and I do have gmail.apk renamed to gmail.bak. Not sure why this is happening. There could be a few other files renamed to remove bloatware.
Any ideas? I want to add another Google account and turn off sync for everything except Reader.
Android Version: 2.2
System Version: Version.2.4.330.A956.Verizon.en.US
Thanks.
Being that you renamed one of the main programs it would sync to, it prob thinks that it has nothing to sync. I would suggest reinstalling the Gmail app, as it is not in any way bloatware.

Do you know if the Gmail.apk package is used to sync contacts and calendar as well? Thanks for your advice. I will try it soon and report back.
negative, renamed Gmail.bak back to Gmail.apk with no success.
Any ideas?
Naming it back does not actually reinstall it. I found that out the hard way when I very first rooted my phone. You'll actually have to go thru the market and redownload and install.
As for it actually syncing, it there are other packages there that handle the syncing, how directly or indirectly I am not sure though. However, it is very likely that they still interact with each other, which means you just suddenly stripping it of something it expects to be there is quite likely to cause an array of possible problems.
Hi all. On a rooted Chacha and using Root Explorer, what files or apks can be safely removed in order to gain precious internal storage space and so we could load more preferred aps?
None. Don't delete files using root explorer. Use som other app to remove not needed system apps and thats all. If you remove some system files, you can brick your system or even phone.
Use titanium if you have root.
I've removed:
All Facebook apps
HTC hub
Mail
Mail widget
Live wallpaper
Streetview
HTC likes and likes widget
News
News and weather
Htc sync
Peep
Green immersion
Stocks
Several more but as I remember I'll edit this post.
I removed then put back due problems:
Music related apps, they affected ringtones and alerts.

Thanks so much for the tips. Instead of deleting those files it might also be good to move them to a folder on the external disk so in case we'd want to bring them back to system in the future. Though that may be a tedious chore to do as I cant see a multiple file select on Root Explorer while R/W is active
With titanium you can "freeze" them to test if they matter before uninstalling, also backup in case you need to re install.

Here's what I still have in my system/app

I just got my new sensation
I want to transfer my SMS messages from my USB bricked desire (yes I've tried to fix it but no joy) but when I try the transfer via bluetooth it only offers my contacts.
Any way of doing this (bare in mind I can't connect via USB) ?
Thanks.
Did you have everything on your Desire synchronized with your Google account?

Use a SMS backup app from the Market

worked for me when i switched my IS to Sensation
Do they backup to the cloud ?
I need to be able to backup to the cloud, as I said the desire is bricked and so I don't have access to my SD card.
Is there an app that backups to the cloud or another method ?

That's actually a damn good question. There is an app called just "SMS Backup" that apparently backs up all of your texts to neatly-organized Labels in your Gmail account, which seems kind of nice. It doesn't appear to have any way of restoring those backed-up messages to a new phone, however. Also note that is another, similarly-named app called "SMS Backup & Restore" which only backs up an XML file to your SD Card-- that's definitely not what you want.
A somewhat wackier solution might be found thanks to this thread: http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f4/data-file-storage-location-for-sms-messages-23299/
If you can navigate with, like, Root Explorer (or some similar file-manager app with elevated access privileges), you can try to locate /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db and export that file to Gmail or Dropbox or something like that. I know ASTRO lets you share files by long-pressing it, so I'm assuming that root-privileged file-managers will do the same.
Once mmssms.db is exported, I'm not totally sure what you'd do from there. Although I hope it's just a matter of replacing the .DB file on the new phone with the .DB uploaded from the old phone, I get the feeling it might not be just that easy.
Oops! It looks like the app I was thinking about is not "SMS Backup", but "SMS Backup+" which is advertised as being able to backup to Gmail Labels as well as to restore SMS (but not MMS) to new phones. Give that a whirl.
Mate, don't give up on a fix. PM ziggy1001 for adb.commands, there are two, but in most threads only one is mentioned. Good luck.

I'm finding using the tablet extremely pratical, that I'm accessing since a while my mails accounts hrough the stock mail application (imap setup).
Unfortunately deleted mails remain in trash folder, and I found no way to erase them permanently other then selecting them one by one and deleting them.
Not much practical procedure when having >1000 mails to delete
Any way to empty the trash folder with one click?
Thanks
work around found
I accessed the trash folder through imap with a different client, and was able to delete all items with one click.
Stock mail client then re-synchronized trash to empty
Sadly, this feature is not avail in stock mail app
