Hello, new to the forum.
I had an attack of stupidity while using Titanium and deleted the Tether Manager from my Infuse. Does anybody know how to restore it? And, NO, I did not have the smarts to back it up first.
Thanks

I'm not sure why you would want it, but here ya go:
If it doesn't run after you DL it, you need to use a root file manager, and copy and paste it into /system/app.
You may also need to apply permission to it: 0644 (all 3 boxes in the first column and the top on the second column
Sorry for the delay in response.
I just wanted to put it back because the phone came with it. The real problem is that I rooted the phone then installed "wifi tether" (loaded with errors in the log) but it wont work correctly, the laptop will tether but will not surf the internet. So I deinstalled it and was going to try the native application until THIS problem. So the real problem I guess is how to get a functioning tether for my Infuse.
PS. I love your signature, there is some good stuff in there.

I hope this how to guide is helpful. Yes it is not all about the AT&T crap, it also removes the horrible touchwiz launcher.
NOTE THERE IS A MUCH MORE DETAILED GUIDE HERE
1. Install a launcher substitute.
Personally, I prefer launcher pro, so that is the one I will be talking about in this step. You can pick this app up for free from the android market.
This launcher completely replaces your home screens and your application drawer with something more stock android like. It has several improvements over the actual stock android launcher also, so I would recommend it for any phone, not just TouchWiz phones.
CAUTION FROM THIS POINT ON YOU THINGS COULD (although unlikely) GO WRONG. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED IN ANY PART OF THIS TUTORIAL.
2. Root your phone
Note that this does void your warrenty and prevent returning of your phone. All that aside it is relatively easy.
2a. Download the following root update at: mediafire.com/download.php?eilzbhfl73rij1v
2b. DO NOT UNZIP THIS FILE. Instead, rename it update.zip
2c. Mount your phones internal storage to you computer. If you are on a mac, that may require enable debugging mode in the application settings menu. If you are on a PC it requires the Samsung Captivate drivers forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
2d. Copy the drivers to your phones internal storage and unmount and unplug your phone.
2e. Turn your phone off.
2f. Turn your phone on by pressing volume up and down while pressing the power button.
2g. Use volume up and down to select reinstall packages and then press the power button. Allow it to update.
2h. Once you reboot, your phone should be rooted.
3. Uninstall the bloatware.
3a.Download Titanium Backup from the Market
3b. Make sure your sd card is mounted to your phone (not your PC)
3c. Once it is installed install the busybox version they prompt you to.
3d. Press the Backup/Restore tab (if not already pressed).
3e. Find any of the following applications that you want to delete. If you don't know what it is, I recommend not deleting it. There are other bloatware apps, but I recommend keeping them.:
At&t Navigator
At&t Radio
At&t Maps
At&t Music
At&t Mobile Hotspots
Mobile Banking
Mobile Video
Where
YPmobile
At&t FamilyMap
Mini Diary
MobiTV
Write and Go
Media Hub
Daily Breifing
3f. Click on the app and press the red un-install button. NOTE UNINSTALL WILL REMAIN THROUGH FACTORY RESET ONLY UNINSTALL IF YOU ARE SURE YOU WANT TO.
4. Sideloading Apps
4a. If you are on a PC download this androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine
4b. If you are on a Mac (me) or Linux download this androidcentral.com/android-central-sideload-wonder-machine-linux-and-mac-talented-forum-member (note the mac and linux link is down atm but it should be back up soon.
4c. if neither of those options suit you and you want a more perminate (note it did not work for me) solution, then try this forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728121
5. The service
You're screwed. (It works pretty nice where I live, but always manages to be dead when I need it the most.)
6. The Voicemail
While this is not carrier specific (all carrier voice-mails suck) , I thought I would include the fact that you can get visual voicemail from Google via its Google Voice voicemail service using your current number. For more information go to this link google.com/voice
note sorry my links are so weird, I am a new member and they do not let me post links.
If you have anything you would like to add, please add it in a reply
this is great thank you !
Thank you for taking your time I'm pretty sure it'll be really helpful to us users.
WE just need A FREAKEN MOD to sticky this. Well, first we need a mod.

I'm pretty sure you can unroot, and from there do the factory restore, but any apps you uninstalled will still be gone forever.

The only sure way I know of to unroot is to flash the original ROM. As samsung does not provide this we need to wait for someone to pull it off the device.
the guide says it is recommended to DELETE or NOT to delete the listed AT&T apps? I'm confused at that part
Another guide: How To: Remove AT&T From Captivate
Includes: root, sideloading, remove market censorship, delete bloatware.
Thanks for this nbs!!
Do you know if the sideloading process listed above works on a mac?
I have I 9000 but same... rooting only puts a version of Su in system/xbin and busybox. It also installs supeuser.apk. any of this can be undone.

I ran into the same problem the first time. The file I downloaded from the Google site was around 40 KB and kept giving me that error message. So I did a Google search and downloaded the file from ithinkdiff.com which was around 80 KB. Also how are you installing the apk?

Yes, I have a rooted captivate with side loaded apps (Asphalt 5, PDAnet, etc.) that I just threw on my SD and installed that way.
I have only used my mac for my Captivate.
So i just updated to the new version of Titanium Backup on my captivate...it keeps crashing on startup...yes my phone is rooted, i have the latest ver of busybox installed. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, it asked to get the latest ver of busybox which i already had and then it keeps crashing...any ideas or has anyone had this prob so far?
Im also having this issue.Its nothing you did wrong. If you check the comments for the app, many users are reporting this problem, fir different phones.

Update posted overnight appears to fix it.
Titanium backup is telling me to go to setting and then into applications, and then to check a box dealing with unknown sources.....but i don't any such box, anyone else see this?

You don't have that option on the captivate. Ignore it. Make sure you got the latest version of TB. Launch the application. Click on problems. Let it install busybox (yea yea you have it)... and it should be ok.
thanks for that...along the same lines, i am trying to re-install my media hub apk, using appsinstaller, say the phone is blocked from non market apps....i am using SRE 1.2.1a
I'm not sure about that.. but..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=388191&d=1282780888
there's a link to the apk again. Try to sideload it.. or first try to make sure you actually have market access .. here's an app to test it: Furdiburb
look for it in the marketplace and if you are able to download/install it then something's up @[email protected] and I'm not quite sure as I've never used appinstaller.
For the captivate you have to edit settings.db to enable non-market apk files to install. There is a guide on these forums and on wiki sites. It's not that difficult.
Reply back if you want more information.
Titainum backup will not restore properly unless that settings.db is edited.

Hi all, I installed Skype successfully from market several days ago, and I uninstalled it. Now I want to install Skype again from market, but always failed. Then I went to Skype site to download Skype Android apk, but the process said "I don't have enough space" and won't let me install.
I am pretty sure I have enough space for my Tab. Can someone suggest a way to solve or explore this issue? Thanks.
Same problem.I have more than 10gb in internal and external card
Is there any idea what is going on?
Same problem here. Uninstalled skype on a friends phones then attempted to reinstall and have been getting the same error. I tried to manually install skype using Astro. I also removed 100mb in apps. Can't find any solutions on the web but it seems that many people have been having this problem.
However, the problem is on the Droid Pro.
it did the same to me also. i kept deleting apps left and right til i got down to only a couple 3rd party apps left. i finally did a factory reset, and it installed just fine. dont know why, but thats what i had to do to get it reinstalled.
If you can get the apk from the newest firmware, then youll be able to install it. I did the same when I first got my Tab as Swype didnt fit the screen properly, but after JK5 it fits perfectly.

I reset to the factory settings than it worked again. As a hint don't make update, uninstall previous one.

Anyone know where to get the APK for the swipe that fits the screen of the galaxy tab?
Can't reinstall
Any word on the reinstall "memory" error - Can't reinstall
You must manualy delete skype directory from system. Your phone must be rooted. data/data/com.skype.raider just delete this directory from your system
No desire to root (not that techy), there must be another way
Edit:
OK running z4mod for the P1010 unit, Temp root, all aps off the SD card and USB Debug on - Now waiting as it says "Running exploit in order to obtain root access.."
Hope I don't screw this up!
Edit 2:
Says Temp rooted but can't find the specified Skype file????????????????

All I can say is a repeat from other boards on this issue:
When you uninstall Skype it leaves this file on your unit
data/data/com.skype.raider
It is said that if your root the unit then delete this file can reinstall Skype
However, I have rooted (temporarily with z4root) and searched for the file with Root Explorer but can't find it and still can't re-install Skype. So, not sure there is a solution, at least for me and my P1010 GT
Use root explorer by speed software. Make sure you select w/r at the top the search for Skype.
You have to be rooted. I never tried the temp root on Z4.
This is how I fixed my tap so I know of works.

Thanks much
doesnt work for me
I tried the method with "Root Explorer" but it doesnt work for me because my phone is not rooted. Anyone ideas how to solve the problem and install skype again?
thanks
A factory reset should in thoery wipe your data clean. Do it and try reinstalling skype.

You backed them up, you need to restore them. I assume it'll be a similar process.
I have a Motorola Photon, and I had tried to get the old Market backet back with a process I found in the forum. It didn't work, and somewhere along the line I lost the Market all together. I tried wiping the phone back to factory and the Market app did not come back. I tried to just install a version from 4Shared, but still doesn't work with any version I install. It says that "com.android.vending has quit unexpectedly" and then it FC's. It only seems to do this when I go to download an app. I can browse and search fine with no problems, just no downloading!! I admit I'm a noob, and probably messed with something I shouldn't, but I figured this would be a nondestructive thing to learn on. Man was I wrong!! This sucks...please help me!!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Yes...I was rooted but no custom rom. I don't know how to do that yet. This is going to sound stupid, but what exactly is a custom rom? After I wiped to factory condition I tried to install a vending.apk from 4shared and that still gives me same error. I will uninstall again and try a market.apk now. Is that the same as vending.apk?
A factory reset will only delete user data, it won't put back something that has been removed. You need to get the vending apk for the version you want and instead of installing it normally put it in /system/app. You can do so using Root Explorer or another root level file explorer. If you don't have one installed, I can post the apk of a free one for you. Mount system as r/w and copy/paste the apk into /system/app, then set permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot. You should have your market back up & running.

That's what I originally tried to do and didn't work, but I will try it again...If you could post an apk of the market you know is good that would be great. Can u post an apk of a root explorer also? I havent checked 4shared yet. Is there another free download service other than 4shared? Thanks for your help!!
Just download Market and install it. If it FC then check the permissions.

(It's the new market btw. I know you don't want it, but you don't really have a choice at the moment)
Ok so this is weird!! I left the Market that wasn't working installed by mistake. I installed the OTA update that Motorola did, and then re-rooted my phone again. Now the Market is working for the most part!!! Only thing is...it FC's every time iot installs an app. It downloads and installs, but right after it installs it FC's!! It doesn't always close all the way...sometimes just goes to Market home screen. All the functionality seems to be working though, so I can deal with that.
Does anybody know why after the OTA update I can only get EDGE instead of 3G on a Rogers SIM card?
Did you clear Google Services Framework data and Market data?
