Inadvertently uninstalled Google and am having trouble reinstalling. Restoring the app from my backup appears to hang (I've gotten impatient after waiting 10-15 minutes for the store to complete). After a reboot, the Talk app is not installed.
After referring to a number of threads, I've used ADB to attempt installing Talk.apk, gtalkservice.apk, and TalkProvider.apk, and moving libtalk_jni.so into \system\lib without success.
When attempting to install the apk's with ADB the result is "Failure [Install_failed_Missing_Shared_Library]". libtalk_jni.so appears to have not been removed in the uninstall and is still in the \system\lib directory.
Installing the apk's using Astro returns "Application not installed".
This is a p6200L which is rooted. Uninstall of Talk was done with Titanium Backup.
Anyone have some advice? I figure I must be missing another library, but not sure which one.

I want to reinstall a stock app called Audio Postcard on my Galaxy S 4G, because I want to be able to update when a system update comes out, and I don't want to wait until then to frantically figure this out.
This is what I have tried:
I downloaded the files named: audiopostcard.apk and audiopostcard.odex and pushed them to system/app. They didn't have the right permissions or user and group, so I fixed that in Root Explorer and abd. The two files now have the right permission and user group assignments (root.root). I rebooted, but the app still won't show up. I have heard that as long as the files have the right permissions and user and group assignment then you don't have to install it. However, since it didn't show up I tried installing it, but it fails with the "not installed" message.
I tried to install it using adb, but I got the following error message:
./adb install /Android/AudioPostcard.apk
2125 KB/s (11202488 bytes in 5.147s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/AudioPostcard.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]
I tried installing it by zipping the two files (audiopostcard.apk and audiopostcard.odex) together, putting it in the root directory of the SD card, rebooting into recovery and installing it, but I get the message:
E: signature verification failed
My phone is rooted, but I don't have clockworkmod installed. Do I need to do this to get the files to install?
Can someone help me with this?
TIA
My first question is, are you running a stock rom? did you flash either KB5 or KC1 rom from the development forum? Or, did you uninstall it yourself via Titanium or something?
someone else just created a thread with this as the Title.

Yes, I'm running the stock rom. I haven't flashed either of those roms from the development forum.
Yes, I did uninstall via Titanium, but it happened in a weird way. I was doing a search in Titanium and clicked on Audio Postcard to uninstall, when it got to the uninstall screen, I told it to cancel, but when I went back to Titanium, it was gone. Weird. Thanks for your reply.
**Update**
I finally got it to install using birgertime's Bloater app. I had to jump through a few hoops to get it to work, and I go into that in that thread, but it is now installed. Thanks to birgertime and others who read this.
there is an application called bloater. its used for rooted phones to install/uninstall apps that come with the phone. its on the market for a dollar but its no longer on applanet. if you want i can get the apk from my phone later and upload it
let me know
hit thanks if it helped
Hi, this is kind of a difficult question for me to explain, but I will try.
I have Titanium Backup installed and it was working fine for a while.
One day the icon went corrupt and the app would not open.
Naturally I went to uninstall and reinstall the apk.
When I uninstalled, the app icon and links disappeared and the app ceased to function, but the app did not uninstall.
When I try to reinstall, it asks to replace the old with the new one.
The install finishes with "Application Not Installed"
I can not access Titanium Backup at all.
I have tried using ADB to uninstall and I have uninstalled from the manage applications. I also tried deleting the .apk from /data/app/.
Titanium backup will no longer show up in my Manage Application menu.
I made a flashable .zip from another phone and installed it that way, TiBu still did not show up in the app list, but all the files are in the phones filesystem.
Hopefully someone can help me fix this without reinstalling the ROM.
The problem phone: HTC Hero CDMA CM7 Nightlies.
Thank you!
I hate to bump my own post, but my thread seems to have gotten lost among newer ones and I do not know where else to ask for help fixing it.
The app is corrupt and I cant open or uninstall it.
I tried to use adb to uninstall it, but it just said "failure"
I used the perma-temp-root and Root Uninstaller, but it still wouldn't let me uninstall the app.
Using ES File Manager, I manually found all *vvm* in the /system/app and /data/app and /data/data folders and either deleted or renamed the files and folder.
Finally after that I was able to install TMO VVM from the market and get it working again.
What a PITA!
Please note:
The reason for that is the MT4GS has the Visual Voice mail built in.
To access it go to:
Phone > Voicemail
When you download the app from the store, it will work temporally after which it will automatically get corrupted /deleted.
I installed the one from the market by accident a as well. You need to temp root and use titanium backup to uninstall it. Then use the one built into the phone

hey guys, i accidentally deleted both of the T-mobile one, and the one built in the phone, can some1 post it up, so that i can reinstall it? thanks a bunch, as a temp, i have the tmo. one installed for now.
Hi guys
I froze the com.android.smspush and Fused Location apps using Titanium Backup, and now my phone has entered a bootloop. I can only get onto ADB via recovery. I saw some posts around here explaining how to defrost apps manually by editing the packages.xml file, but they all say to remove the 'enabled="false"' flag from the frozen app. The problem is that I don't have any "enabled" tags for those two apps, and I can't figure how what exactly TB does to freeze them.
Any help would be much appreciated. If anyone running CM10.1 can please send through the lines in their /data/system/packages.xml file relating to FusedLocation, WAPPushManager, and SMSPush that would be great. Or if anyone knows how to manually defrost apps on 4.2.2 (CM10.1) would be even better.
I've tried reflashing the ROM without any luck. It boots up to the lock screen then immediately soft reboots.
Update:
After trying countless methods, I finally solved it by actually deleting the APKs for the two apps I froze, rebooting so they got removed from any package list/freeze list, then reflashing the ROM and rebooting.
I had tried restoring instagram from titanium backup, but it wouldn't complete because at the time I had the mount namespace issue.
I fixed that, restored everything, and everything worked.
I recently tried to use instagram on my phone, only to realize it wasn't there. I tried restoring it back again from titanium backup, and it kept hanging forever.
Now I try to install it from google play, and it says "can't install app." The error code is -506.
So I try to manually install the apk through package manager, and it says:
"out of space."
Which is not accurate.
What am I missing here? There's no com.instagram.android in /data/apk. I am wondering if the "bundle id" is registered somewhere and I need to remove it, or something?

There was another thread about this, in which a solution helped 3 or 4 people who couldn't download different apps due to 506 error:
"If you use a root explorer, goto data/data, there are dead files in there under google music, or talk, delete them , then try to reinstall from play store, worked perfectly for me and killed the 506 error, these are from past error installs and Android thinks the app is still installed. I personally use root explorer and within all the actual blue file folders under data/data, the corrupt ones showed as white unknown files, if I helped hit thanks.... These are actually like leftover residual file fragments from a prior intall, that for some reason Android 5.0+ doesn't clean out, tombstones"

Man, there was a com.instagram.android 0k file there.
I deleted it and it worked. I don't know how I missed that in the search. I was already digging around that directory.
Thanks!
