oh crap, how do i get gmail back?!? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

So I tried to install a modified Gmail app using root explorer putting it into system/app and installing. Said it could not be installed but when I opened Gmail it had effected some of the text. I thought I could just delete the system app and reinstall from the market but now it says update not compatible or something to that effect.
I've tried using the deodex tool to add apps but that didn't work. Then tried to use the Gmail apk from a friends one x but that didn't do it
Someone please help!!

i pulled the gmail apk and gmail odex from my phone. try placing that in your system/app folder and see if that works. if it doesnt, only thing i could think of doing is to use an RUU to get back to stock

You could also go into Settings -> Apps -> GMail and click "Uninstall Updates."
This should revert GMail back to the stock state. If not, maybe you can uninstall it completely and reinstall it from the Play Store.

Gmail doesn't show in my apps ( and putting that apk in my system apps doesn't do it either.

I guess I kinda had the same problem I deleted gmail app and it disappeared and I tired redownloading it and nothing happened so I uninstalled update n rebooted the phone and then gmail reappeared but I think the gmail app was still in the apps list just at the very bottom something like that

Try searching for it in the app drawer. My Gmail app never shows up, but when I search for it I find it.

bah, i was screwed, just did the update to 1.82 to get wifi fix

ADW Launcher - Keeps Crashing

I keep getting:
The application ADW.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
It keeps looping this over and over when I force close.... please help
First go to settings, then applications then manage applications find adw clear cache or data, then if that doesn't work uninstall then reinstall, and if that doesn't work I'd say do a clean install of rom, by the way which rom are u running?

I can't even get into settings at all....this happens when it unlocks and keeps looping so I can't even get to my homepage.
I tried to get into the market via voice search for android market, but when I try and launch the market, the market app crashes too!.
The phone is currently stock 100%, just carrier code unlocked..
Yup, mine started doing this when I change themes. How does one get in touch with developers?

You could have deleted adw via adb while in cwm or even while booted into the os.

If you were 100% stock then that means you had installed adw launcher from the market. Correct? If that's the case then you could also have just done a factory reset from within cwm and it should've cleared up any issues as it would've deleted any user-installed apps, including adw launcher.
Either way glad you found a solution.

Problem already solved but just for others visiting this thread, there is a way to get rid of the issue (which worked for me). when there was crash in ADW Launcher, statusbar still works. This is to key to get back to original theme (as you can't access settings directly to set default theme)
Opened status bar, start internet.
From another device (or desktop machine), send a mail to yourself with google play link for the new theme you just installed
Your status bar will now have new mail notification (assume its activated)
Now access your mail app and open the link from the mail
Now you have browser app opened with google play page
You will have uninsatll option for that theme. Just do it.
Now as new theme is uninstalled, your default theme will come in picture and everything will be normal.
I hope this will help others fall in similar situation after installing new theme.

Contact photos question

Hi all! Asking for a little help from the xda crew. Yesterday I went through the process of rooting my sgs4g, doing a Titanium Backup, flashing from Froyo to the GB starter pack, and finally installing Valhalla Black edition. Everything went *super* smooth and I love it! The only issue I have is that my contacts will not populate with facebook photos, which I believe is because Valhalla does not use the "accountsandsync.apk"
I believe this to be true based on this thread in another forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102157
Now, that being said, I thought I could just reinstall from my TB file, but I think this is where I made a small mistake yesterday. I backed up "all apps+system data" and when I try to restore the accounts and sync file TB hangs up at the popup window. After doing some research it appears that this may be due to the fact that I saved it with the Froyo system data? *If* all I've said so far is true, could someone please share the "accountsandsync.apk" and anything else I might need to restore this feature in GB on Valhalla Black?
Some simple instructions on where to put the file and how to install would be welcomed with a smile as well!
If I'm incorrect in my assumptions, hopefully someone will get me pointed in another direction so that my phone will populate my contact list with facebook photos again.
To be complete in my attempts at a fix I have tried multiple scenarios between syncing with google, and in the facebook app sync menu with no results.
Thank you in advance for your help!
-Devlin.
My contact pictures always worked fine, even with Valhalla Black. After using TB to restore apps, make sure you log out of Facebook app then log back in and select sync all. After that my contact pictures always populate afterwards. Even the newest Rom by Raver works fine.

Hi, thanks for your reply. For s&g I tried to log out and log back into the FB app but this didn't update my list. This is certainly not a ROM issue. It has to do with not being able to restore my 'accounts and sync' apk. I imagine my contact photos would work if I could restore the accounts and sync apk from TB, but as I stated TB hangs when I try this. I believe this is because of the way I backed it up while still on Froyo. I believe that I need the actual apk from someone currently on GB in order to make this work again...so, original request still stands. Thanks again.
Yes.. rather than use TB to restore I would push the .apk. Anytime you can do fresh installs in better than using TB because it can sometimes cause issues. For future reference you can get most .apks from other ROMs like the stock GB rom.
I use 'Super Manager' from the app market. Open 'Super Manager' then go into file manager. Check your settings in Super Manager by going into setup/root and make sure 'enable ROOT function' is checked. Find your AccountAndSync.apk on your SD Card and copy. Press 'Back up level folder' twice. Go into 'system/app' and make sure 'system is set to (r/w). Paste the AccountsAndSync.apk in the folder.

Thanks a bunch. The app shows up in my app drawer, but force closes when I click on it. I tried to navigate to the file in the system/app folder and set permissions but Super Manager has a blank screen for permissions. Tried install and that process failed as well. Now I'm at a loss for ideas. Might you have any yourself? :/ Also did a reboot, tried to resync with FB app, no success.

I flashed Raver's latest ROM. It had Accounts and Sync in it.
If you have not done it yet try fixing permissions. Uninstall facebook reinstall. Clear cache, fix permissions, uninstall, reinstall fresh... these are all the things I would try.
If all else fails flash the most current release and see what happens. I don't use facebook.
EDIT: Look at the attached files in my previous post. I added one. You may be needing that apk as well.

BOOM! That at least got the app working! THANK YOU! I think I will either have to wait for it to update the list after reboot or play around a bit...I feel like I'm getting closer to the prize!

I have rc3.1. However, there is not an app icon for accounts and syn like stock. You access it through through settings.
Glad you are getting closer.

Dude, thank you THANK YOU again! All my contacts are syncing now and photos are slowly populating the list!
I saw the "accounts" menu item in settings in my release but it force closed when I tried to use it. Next weekend I should have some more time to do a fresh install and update to the new release. I am on the Beta Rc2 release and I LOVE IT!! As soon as I get my tax return Raver's gonna get a donation!!
Glad you have it working!

Problem when updating apps

Ok, i will try to explain (english is not my first language)
I have strange problem when updating apps via play store.
When i go to play store and manualy start app update, and when update is finished, the app which i am currently using, like msgs, youtube, facebook if freezes and i have to close it with task manager and run it again.
The bigger problem is when i start update and go to my home screen, immediately after the app is updated, the launcher freezes and i have to restart the phone.
During this i can open notification bar, open settings and stuff but nothing else works.
I don't have many apps, maybe 15 installed, and i am running cleanrom v5.
Is there some log which can help me to identify the problem?
Thanks
UPDATE:
Maybe this can help to someone but the problem was because of restored apps with titanium backup.
I reinstalled rom and then dowloaded all my apps from play store and everything is ok now, no problems.
I am not sure but maybe i created backup of my apps when i was running cm10, so restoring it in sense rom could cause instability.

Help with system app uninstall

I'm on NeoRom v3 where Titanium backup is pushed as a system app, wanted to uninstall it, tried through several applications since several methods i tried didn't work and i think i partially deleted the app, but it's still coming back lol
It is still in apps list in the default settings menu but it's not among the other apps in apps drawer. When i try to install my version of titanium bckup, it doesn't except it.
What to do? Is there any tutorial for uninstalling system apps?

System apps could be uninstalled simply by deleting apk file and .odex file(if exists) from /system/app/.
Try deleting those files and reboot phone if you didnt already tried.
Not to mention, take backup since you are playing with system apps..
Now it's seems uninstalled but I can't install titanim bakcup again, it goes FC before even opening, like i deleted something in system that i shoudn't. blerg, nevermind, tnx for help

Play Store acting strange, need help!

Ok so this is a little weird, i have an LG Optimus G on sprint and the other day i restored my stock backup just like iv'e done before but when i went to open the play store to do all the updates it kept closing on me. The strange thing is that the app works fine as long as i don't try to open up the menu to access settings or my apps, i can search for apps just fine but whenever i press on the menu lines it closes and brings up the "unfortunately, google play store has stopped". I tried clearing cache and data, uninstalled updates and uninstalled the app and re installed, made sure downloads and download manager apps are enabled, removed my google account then added it back again but i haven't found anything that has fixed it yet. I tried to go into titanium and restore from there but for some reason it says i have no backups of the play store. Any ideas would be helpful at this point!
