[Q] Re-installation System application - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I uninstalled (inadvertently) the system application DMClient on my ASUS Transformer.
I would like to re-install. How to.
I have a backup of this System Application (com.asus.dm.apk) but it doesn't want to install.
What is the solution ?
Thank you for your responses
(Sorry for my english but i'm french)

adb push it to system/app

Thank's for the reply, but i'm newbie. Can you be a little more... explicit, please.

This thread will show hoe to set up ADB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071584
Once done put the file (com.asus.dm.apk) in the platform-tools folder
and run command
Code:
adb push <application_name>.apk /system/app
you could also try manually moving the file with Root explorer or any file management with root access to system/app to see if that work

The file com.asus.dm.apk is already on system/app but the application DMClient doesn't appear ine the Application list

Try this, not sure if it will work or not.
Navigate to where you have the app (system/app in this case)
long press on it to bring up the menu
choose "permission" and set to rw,r,r if not already set to that
now tap on it again to install the app
also when you say it's not showing up in Application list.
Are you refering to the app drawer? Cause it will not show up there.
You can find it in Settings>Applications>Manage application>All (if it's installed correctly)

I'm rooted. I have uninstalled it with UltimateBackup.
DMClient is (was) a ROM application.
I have tried to restaure it with Titanium Backup, then with Ultimate Backup without success (the restore process begin but never end).
I'm very dispointed because without this application, i can't access to OTA Firmware updates.
if anybody have an idea !!!
Thank

Well if you have CWM you could flash the latest OTA update from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409584

Flashing with a new firmware seems to be an heavy solution for only one file missing.
In system/app, i have DMClient.ODEX and com.asus.dm.apk instead of having DMClient.ODEX and DMClient.apk

Hi, I have a spice stellar mi 500. i tried rooting the phone which worked fine and then I tried removing some of the system apps like Rail yatra,, facebook, dhingana. i was able to remove them and then i finally booted my device. Since then I am getting the error "unfortunately system UI has stopped working" I am not able to open apps or receive calls. the system hangs. not even able to unroot the phone now as any apps will hang. even the control bar does not slide from the top.

You have most probably messed the systemUI.apk which is located in /system/app or files associated with it. Did you remove any other apk's in which you weren't sure what it does?
In this case, Factory reset won't work because it just wipes user data and /system partition remains in tact. The nearest possible thing to do is to flash a stock ROM if exists or copy the deleted apk's borrowing from some one else's phone and place those apk's in /system/app partition setting the correct permission.
I remember exactly what I deleted. I I uninstalled Dhingana.com, Facebook and Rail yatra. I cannot start third party apps though I can install them. So I am not sure how to place the systemUI.apk in the directory /system/app. Can it be done through inbuilt file manager?

Nope, I guess not possible through default file manager. You have to use ES File Explorer File Manager or Root Explorer to place it in /system/app and change its permissions to rw-r-r.

I tried replacing systemUI.apk to \system\app folder using esexplorer but i got error. error: copy failed.
is there a possibility I can get hold of a stock rom and flash it using update from SD card. the default android update manager?

Make sure you've mounted the /system partition as R/W before attempting to Copy or setting permissions.

[Q] Sticking w/ 4.1.2- How do you turn of software upgrade notification

I have decided to stick with 4.1.2 and am currently rooted with an unlocked bootloader.
Is there a way to keep the phone from constantly checking software status and giving me the notification to upgrade (install now or install later screen)?
I went ahead and downloaded and had it "install now", knowing it was going to fail, in hopes it would stop checking after failing initially. No go as it keeps going to the install selection screen after a certain period.
I am assuming there is probably something I could "freeze" in TiBu to stop the phone from constantly checking software status, but am not sure which one and if freezing it will violate the law of "unintended consequences" (ie if that app is critical in other phone operations).
Just want to get rid of the "reset" I have to do every time I get the notification.
Thanks!

STOP OTA UPDATE NOTIFICATION
If the OTA already downloaded, delete it here /cache/fota
To disable the OTA:
Rename or freeze the apps with Titanium backup:
otacerts.zip located in /etc/security - rename to otacerts.zip.bak
Rename fwupdate.odex, fwupdate.apk located in /system/app
and freeze SDM1.0 located in /system/app
Trouble locating the directories/files to rename.
Thanks buhohitr for your quick response.
freeze SDM1.0 located in /system/app

I was able to locate this and freeze it in Titanium, however, I was unable to locate the other files on Titanium or directory locations you specified when browsing through the phone's file manager or through my computer (connected to the phone.)
I also could not locate the /cache/fota directory to delete the software download. In the phone's file directory, I did make sure all options were selected (to show hidden directories). What am I missing?
Rename fwupdate.odex, fwupdate.apk located in /system/app

Just to be clear, once I locate this file, I just change the extention from "odex" to "apk"?
Thanks
just realized I need a root explorer app.

Disregard my previous post on the fwupdate.odex/.apk files. Realized I needed to add .bak to all the files you specified.
All steps completed and thank you for your assistance! Just needed to get the rootexplorer to locate the directories. (one note, I am pretty sure the update package did get downloaded, however I did not see a file in the "fota" directory.) Not too concerned as all other steps completed.

TB only can see SDM1.0, if the OTA did not download to your phone you won't see anything under /cache/fota so this is normal. The rest you need to use some root browser app like root explorer or ES file explore to find them and just rename by adding a .bak at the end, example: otacerts.zip, fwupgrade.odex,fwupgrade.apk rename them to otacerts.zip.bak, fwupgrade.odex.bak,fwupgrade.apk.bak.

I know it did download, but wondering if it automatically got "trashed" once the install failed. Although, when the "install now" notification came up, it went to recovery for the install instead of initiating a download. No big deal since I got all other steps taken care of.
thanks again for your assistance.

Chinese Phone running Android 4.2 - Malware built in, cant delete despite root

It took me a while to figure out that the bast**ds had built in the malware in the firmware, with the launcher. Phone is rooted, and I have changed the launcher. But I can't delete the malware apks inside system/app.
They are named as com.google.hardware.ext0.apk, and another similarly named (android air, and measure too)..
Problem is, I can't delete them, I tried using ES File Explorer (yes, root is enabled. I can delete, change other files in system/app but for this) I am denied permission!!
Then I tried the terminal emulator.. after getting SU.. tried deleting them using RM and then 'busybox rm..' both failed. What to do? How to delete the f****ng malware files??
(If I switch on the WiFi, malware automatically downloads more crap, then I can't even switch off Wifi and Data! Hence I formatted the phone and have not entered any sim or wifi settings... but I can't delete the damn files!! Any suggestions please?? Going crazy here)
regards
If you could install a custom recovery to flash a zip that delete this app...
Try a Root System App Deleter or, boot in recovery mode and remove it via ADB

Accidentally uninstalled a pre-installed app? Here's how you get it back.

Some apps (such as Huawei Health) are installed on your device during the initial boot. They can, however, be uninstalled, and there's no obvious way to get them back.
Here's how you do it!
The APKs live in the /cust directory on your device. You can either pull them (using ADB, e.g. 'adb pull /cust/preinstalled/public/app/') or use a file explorer app to browse to the same directory and click the APK you want to install.
