I rather stupidly deleted my LG mail.apk from the sys directory last night so now I've lost my exchange mail client. Can someone hook me up with the apk please?
edit, found it, and a THANKS to Protochip
edit again, that didn't work out so well. The icon is there but won't load. Is there a permissions thing?
edit, again, fixed permissions with CWM, that didn't help.
Did you try giving right permissions + ownership with root explorer instead?

in the end I found a way to migrate everything to gmail which saves me running 2 mail apps in the first place so I've just deleted it again. Thanks for the response though.

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.

I have the TnT and Android keyboard.
Tried to install a couple. They show up in the Settings. Tapping the checkbox gave the Attention warning. Clicking on OK. But the checkbox remains unchecked.
In one of the case, when I click on "Enable", it says
"Sorry your device can't perform this action. Please send report to developer".
Am I missing something?
Lots of threads out there on this. Fix involves copying the apk from the data/apps folder to the system/apps folder I believe.

I posted a how to video on my blog for this issue. http://www.androidappgeek.com/2011/04/gtablet-tutorial-enabling-third-party.html
Checked my device. The apk's are already in /system/app, not /data/app. I did not move things around.
What else is missing?
Thanks!
The keyboard I installed is Multiling Gingerbread Keyboard. I saw the file in /system/app.
Now I've uninstalled it but could not find a link to download the apk file. So I installed it again.
This time, the same problem. However, I can't find the Multiling file in either /data/app or /system/app.
Where is the file now?
Thanks!
Hmmm...I'm not sure how it would already have been in system/app. I found it it in the market like normal and moved from data/app to the system like i showed in the video. Worked perfectly on my end. Do you not have access to the market?
Sent from my GTablet-TnT-Lite using Tapatalk
Yes I do. Most apps from Market installs and runs just fine.
Hoping someone can give me a hand here... I feel like I am missing something obvious.
I wanted to learn how to make changes to system APKs, more educational than anything else... figured I'd do something simple like edit mms_config.xml for a slightly larger width/height in Mms.apk
I downloaded APK Manager and followed the steps (I thought). I decomplied the APK, made the adjustment, and recompiled the APK... choosing 'y' when it asked if it was a system file. The new APK was created (called unsignedMms.apk, which I figured was correct since it said never to sign system apps).
I renamed the file to Mms.apk and used root explorer to copy it over to /system/app. However, upon reboot the app doesn't install, as if the file is not there (but it is there and has the proper permissions).
Anyway... feel like I am missing something obvious, but I'd appreciate some enlightenment.
Thanks in advance.
Well, the info seemed confusing so I tried signing it anyway... and then after pushing the signed APK and rebooting the app was installed. I thought finally it was fixed.... but no, lol.
The app FC'd instantly upon opening, even if data was wiped and permissions fixed. I restored the original so I'm fine... but I wish I knew what I was being stupid about, lol.
Never re sign a system app, don't push it either. Flash it in cwm, and if it boots and force closes run adb logcat to see what your exact error is.

Hrm... no dice. I took the unsigned APK I created and flashed it instead of pushing it and it acts as if it's not installed (the apk is in the right place with the right name and permissions).
I must be missing some fundamental step in the creation process.
Edit: This is the APK if that is useful in identifying my ignorance, lol.
How do you re-create a system .odex file? I deleted it when I was debloating my phone not knowing that its required if you want to use the app again. Im looking to get blur email engine and conversations back so I can use stock sms and calendar again. I have the apk's still.

EDIT: I found some odex files from an update that are labeled .odex.p
I copied these over, renamed them, and set the permissions. This didn't seem to do anything. There must be something more that needs to be done.
I was messing with my newly rooted A2 while driving (I know, it's a big no no ><) and I accidentally deleted swype. I tried factory resetting the phone and now all that shows up is the Multi touch keyboard in settings. Can anyone post it so I can re-install it?
Here ya go. And remember no playing with your phone while driving...You could really mess up your phone.
Thank you! I installed it but it's not working?? I did it like a regular app, am I supposed to install it in a different way??
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
You have to use root explorer and put it into /system/apps/ folder then restart the phone.
I did and still nothing >< do I need to set permissions??
Edit: or maybe I need the .odex file that comes with it?? I'm just giving ideas :/
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
Ok so I messed around with the permissions a bit and I can get Swype to appear in the settings and input method BUT it keeps FC whenever I try to access swype settings or switch to it as my keyboard. Any suggestions?? DO I need the .odex file??
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
you need to fix permissions and need the odex file, as well as the libSwypeCore.so file from /system/lib
I overwrote the latinIME.apk and latinIME.odex on my atrix 2 and forgot to backup can someone get me the stock apk and odex files? and will using root explorer work or will i have to use adb? thanks in advance, i'm kinda new at this.
nevermind, i found the post with all of the system apps, it's right here if anyone needs it.

Do NOT use root explorer EVER, to put system files in place. ALWAYS use adb to push the files, then chmod them to 550 once they are moved into place.
