[Q] Reinstall Stock Calendar

Hi,
I am trying to reinstall the stock calendar on my htc wildfire S. I believe i have all the required files since it was backed up with titaniumbackup. I tried to move the apk into system/app, and changed the permissions, and rebooted but I still do not have a calendar. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Why don't you just reinstall it with Titanium?

What ROM do you have installed? If you have an AOSP ROM installed, such as CM7, you can't use the stock calendar app because it is part of HTC Sense.

I've tried that. I think because it is a preinstalled app, it will not restore it. It says restoring...but it just continues in a loop. Or am I doing something wrong?
I have the stock rom installed, so that's not the issue.

Using Stock ICS Email vs Samsung email app

Hello.
I want to know if somebody can/is run(ing) a stock Android email apk (as the one in the nexus phones or Xoom tablet), instead of the Samung email client.
I really want to use such version, as I cannot get confortable with the samsung version.
Instructions to install it? Sideload? adb push? where to find an apk?

I had a Google version running but I flashed a new rom after the leak and am having issues getting it to work. If I do soon I'll let you know

Use tibu and back up email, exchange, and social hub... Then delete and reboot.... Drop in the two apks below into system/app reboot and profit.

Could you post up some Screens? Hoping to include in this post.

These are the best email apps hands down.. the stock email.app got better but this is 'NEW GMAIL' style and works with your personal email box on pop3 or imap or exchange! its just great!
I Highly recommend them!

Did you try changing the permissions for both apps when you copied them to the /system/apps folder?
the permissions need to match the other files in the folder rw-r--r--
(all the read boxes need to be checked and just the owner write box needs to be checked)
I can confirm these files do work.
Thank you mhk!

Confirmed working with Smooth Ice ROM and Exchange 2003 server. So far so good. Wish I hadn't spent the $10 on EnhancedEmail...

the google email will not give me the option to push my yahoo email accounts any ideas?

I'm trying to get these email apps to work on LR2.6 but the emailgoogle.apk wont launch. It breifly opens before it FC.
I have tried fixing permissions but still no joy.
The reason why I have been lookign to change from the stock email.apk is that I couldn't get exchange to work properly with my work email which I did have working on a previous ROM.
Any ideas what I could do to get it to launch? Should this work on GT-i9100?

Not working on UCLD2??
Seems like this aosp apps wont work on the UCLD2 leaked release.
Anyone has success?

Works for me on NexusMOD UCLD2. It took me a few tries to get it to work though. I had to clear data for the built in email, then rename them, install the new ones and reboot. Let it settle. The first few times it would force close all the time, but after clearing data and then rebooting, it worked.

I finally managed to create some flashable zips that work, so you can move from Samsung email to Google/ICS email app much easier. All you need to do is go into manage apps, Email and clear data and cache (if any), reboot into recovery and flash ICS_EmailGoogle_update.zip. It will rename Email.apk, Exchange.apk and SocialHub.apk and install the new apks. To revert back to stock, again go to manage apps, Email and clear data and cache (if any) and boot into recovery and flash ICS_Stock_Email.zip. If you don't clear data, when you switch back and forth you will get FC's. I only use this with Exchange, so I can't verify if it works with other providers, but it works great for me.
I realize you can do all this with a rooted file explorer, but with the amount of times I seem to have to do it, this is easier...
As always, no guarantees, if your phone blows up, I'm not responsible. If you are curious, open up the zips and check out the scripts, just so you can see that I'm not deleting your system partition...
Enjoy!
Tom

downloading these files, but all I get is a 1 KB file with "404 Page Not Found"

I cannot seem to get the email or weather widget to install. The weather widget will not install like a normal .apk. I tried changing the permissions on both .apk files, pushing them to system/app and booted into recovery and fixed permissions. they refuse to show up with my widgets no matter what I try. Running megatron 1.0.1 (cm9 based).

You don't need to mess with permissions. I have only encountered your problem when trying to install these on a ROM that already has these apps, because of signature mismatch.
Did you install cm9 without full wipe?
What does it say in logs when you try to install weather widget? or do "adb install weather.apk" it should tell you why it's not installing.

Well I managed to get the weather widget from another source, it was signed and installed fine. So that problem is taken care of. As far as the email widget goes, It still does not show up. I moved it via ES File Explorer with root permissions to the system/app folder. Tried with stock permissions, and edited permissions. I installed cm9 megatron 1.0.1 over the stock asus ICS rooted, I did however, perform a full wipe via CWM.
I was also wondering if you would be able to get the stock asus digital clock. all I can seem to find is the CM9 analog one.

I didn't modify the package name for weather widget so it won't install if you have the original Asus weather widget remaining on your system. Same package name but different signatures = no install. This is the only way it won't install. The reason the other one installs is because it has different package name so it doesn't matter if the signature doesn't match the original one.
Somehow your full wipe didn't clear everything. Or you restored stuff ater installing CM9?

There are no lib files for the task manager. It just has to be de-odexed after you take it from the stock ROM.
For it to run on a custom ROM, it needs to have the same signature as the other system apps already present on the ROM, which means it needs to be signed with the same platform key.
The task manager and email widget I uploaded are signed with CM9 platform key. So they work with CM9, but not other ROMs that use different platform keys.

[UPDATED 11/1/2012] [Exclusive] Unreleased Gmail 4.2 APK With Pinch-To-Zoom

here it is guys, the newest Gmail 4.2 Reported to be working for Android 4.0+, rooted devices only. If you are having issues with 'waiting to sync', clear app data under settings and try again
Installation Option 1:
uwdus said:
Uninstalled old apk with Titanium -> Reboot -> Installed new Gmail apk with explorer -> Reboot - Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Option 2:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer (here's an easy way that doesn't require downloading the Android SDK). There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 from one of the mirrors above.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
5. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 4 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
6. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
7. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 7, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

Works fine by doing what Uwdus said, just uninstall the old gmail with titanium backup and then use a root explorer to push the new one to system/app and reboot.

I just renamed the gmail .apk and .odex to .bak and .odex.bak respectively in es explorer, and rebooted. Than I moved the Gmail2.apk to /system/app, fixed permissions, and installed. One more reboot and wala - she was up and running! Thanks for this, very sweet!

Kind of inverted
Just picked up the semi inverted 4.2 made by TeamBaked. Even though I prefer a full inverted app, I must say the white background in the email is actually easier to read. Anyway, check it out (I would post a link but I am not sure I am allowed to).
And installing was a breeze. As others mentioned, uninstall via TiBackup then install...loving the swipe feature.

I personally used root explorer and changed the original gmail apk to Gmail2.bak (yours may either be in system/app or data/app) mine was in data/app because im using AOSP, for stock touchwiz it might be in system/app. For AOSP its probably going to be named com.gmail.apk or something along the lines of that. Anyways after you delete/rename your original one move the 4.2 Gmail2.apk to system/app, set the permissions and reboot. It MUST be in system/app and you have to set the permissions and reboot for it to work
