I have an Alcatel OT 918A (gingerbread 2.3.6, kernel version 2.6.35.7) that I just rooted, but unfortunately while trying to remove bloatware I accidentally deleted the live wallpaper launcher & now I can't open the live wallpaper gallery. help anyone?
Also in trying to remove the bloatware from the phone I keep gettin the message "cannot remove system app. failed to locate the apk file." Is there anyway to get around this?
search google for the name of the app you deleted (eg. livewallpaper.apk or whatever it was called)
and use root explorer/root browser lite or any other root file manager, go to system/app, mount as r/w (in top right corner) and long press the app you wish to delete

....dude i love you forever! titanium backup pro wasn't working for me but root explorer worked like a charm! THANK YOU!! :laugh:
I'm searching for the app i deleted now
ok so i found a livewallpaperpicker.apk online but even after copying it to the system/app folder & changing the permissions it still wont work. help?
glad to be of help
maybe the livewallpaper picker varies by different devices, what phone do you have and what rom are you using? i assume stock (one that came with phone) as you just rooted

i know theres other threads out there with readers hub
but none thats fully functional
this was ripped out of the jm6 fw that was just released last week
i pulled it off my own tab
just install all apks and all should work
you might have to put them in your system app folders then restart
see post 2 for zinio apk
Please let me know your results
heres zinio apk
Awesome. Thanks alot. I have a north american tab so these apps were not included. I hav ed actually found aldiko and nook to be great reader apps, especially since you can import epub files. I tried to replace my gallery app with another that was supposed to display as higher resolution images, which it does but also force closes often. Any chance you can upload the stock gallery 3d apk?
VZW Tab
I tried to install the ReadersHub.apk, no dice :-(
put in in your system apps folder and reboot
I installed this and can get zinio working to where the magazine subscriptions are present, but there are no pictures. I installed it about two weeks ago. Do you know how old this Apk is? I'd love to get it to work.

i think you want to use root explorer or adb to put apk in /system/apps/ folder.
Zinio still doesn't show the page pictures unless you pinch to zoom for any magazines after August 2010. Does anyone know why this is or if there is a fix in the works? Cannot get any info from zinio directly.

ok you need to be rooted and have busy box install to be able to write to system
once you have above done open up estrongs/or root explorer find the app your trying to install copy it and paste it into system / apps folder then reboot
I still can't get the Reader's Hub file to install or show up in the apps list after rebooting. I've spent hours trying to get this work and no dice.
Wonder if the problems with Zinio can be remedied by changing our screen density settings? Just a thought, may be way off here.

If they are not system app, you can download 'appinstaller" by FunTrigger and browse to the apk and install. If system app, you can use "root explore" or "ES File Explorer" from the Market and drop the apk in /Sytem/app/
Good luck.
You should just be able to click on them with Root Explorer to install them. If installation fails, just push them to /system/app with Root Explorer.

You have to mount /system/app as read/write. If you're using Root Explorer, tap the "Mount R/W" button at the top of the /system/app directory. If you're using another file explorer, you should be able to find an option to do it, but I don't know any of the other ones personally.
Thanks Guys

Awhile back I kicked the HTCalbum.apk photo viewer and now I cannot attach pix to the stock HTC email client.
Note: This apk must come from the stock AT&T Inspire GB 2.3.3 rom. Others Ive tried will not install due to the wrong size.

For some reason I cannot attach photos via my stock email client. I select attach gallery I get the "Sorry android mail has stopped unexpectedly..." Before I never had an issue. Awhile back I kicked there stock photo viewer out and loaded QuickPic. Now I cannot find the app that I kicked anywhere on the net. If someone has a copy of that app I would appreciate it. Or, maybe its something else.

Just download the rom that has it and unzip it. Then just take it out the app folder in system.

I dont have the rom. Im using the stock AT&T that came with the phone. All I did is root it. If you can send me a link to that rom I would apprexiate it.

Thanks for the file, but like the other one I found it refuses to install. I get a window that says, "Application not installed." Looks like Im going to have to re-install everything... Unless you have an idea as to why.
Use es file explorer its what I use. Just go to settings on es explorer and at the bottom enable root explorer then enable mount file system then back out es explorer settings go to folder with apk in es explorer tap on apk it will as to install tap yes. Try that way itschow I mount all my apks

Again thanks, but it didnt work. This seems to only happen with sys files. Anymore ideas? Maybe the HTCalbum.odex is needed?
I think I shot something out of my file system. Probably am going to reinstall.
I have no more ideas guess reinstall would be best option now.

Does anyone know how to fix it? Apparently there is no stock gallery apk on this phone, only one for vzw with link to their cloud backup services which are a paid option. Conveniently for vzw the picasa/google+ sync is broken.
I would like to know how to fix this too. Use Google+ as a workaround to get at your web albums.

You can't download from there.what you have to do is dl the linked https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7niZuqLJUYnQWwtQWZWek10M0Uapk, move to /system/app, change permissions to rw-r-r and then reboot.

Success!
Rooted, copied the stock ICS gallery apk to system/app, renamed Motgallery2.apk to Motgallery2.apk.old, renamed stock OCS gallery to Motgallery2.apk, and VOILA. Works like a charm.

Yes, definitely thanks for this. It worked great for me as well. The only additional thing I did (not sure if I had to, but just to be safe) I also changed the file ownership to root:root. After copying the ownership was something like system:sdcard_rw. So since the ownership on the original file was root:root I figured not to take any chances and change the renamed file ownership to the same thing.
What a thing for Verizon to do. I swear, if they had any serious competition they couldn't pull crap like this.

Hi everyone,
I'm sort of like new here, I had a problem entering download mode after flashing xbsall's ics ported rom, that's solved now due to some users posting threads with the same problem. Thank you
I noticed that no one is talking about the 3D Converter not working properly, I tried Angry Birds 1 (Space didnt have 3d functionalities under GB and Star Wars appears to be going the same way, I think Rovio is planning on realeasing another trilogy on the 3DS and that is why they took away 3D functionalities for smartphones).
Anyway, Angry birds 1 3D functionalities were not working properly under the 3D converter so I decided to delete the application through root uninstaller in order to be able to install the GB HRZ.apk version. While I was trying to do that, before being able to touch the uninstall feature, I noticed the root uninstaller did something and it deleted the application but in a wrong way. I was not able to install the HRZ.apk posted inside an xda thread because the system was telling me that it was going to replace a system application, bla bla bla and after going for its installation, it gave me the message that the application was not installed.
Through root explorer I deleted every single com.lge.lge3dconverter / hrz file and folder I could find, I cleaned the dalvic cache feature through the ram booster program and after all that, the system was still telling me the same thing as before when I tried to install the HRZ.apk GB app.
What can I do in order to be able to have a perfectly functional 3D Converter application for my games like I had it when I was using the GB rom? :crying:
Thank you in advance...
U cant install (Most of the time) an system app just by clicking on the . apk like a normal app. you have to use a root explorer an copy your app to the folder /system/app and then set permission to it like the other apps in that folder. then you have to reboot

Thank you, I did what you said, I put the HRZ.apk GB app inside the /system/app and rebooted the phone, nothing happened, I do not *know what launcher are you talking about...sorry for that.
I did something else too, I put the HRZ.apk inside the /system/apps/boot (or bootloader cant remember) folder and managed to see it inside the Application manager app listed as needing an update (maybe its still detecting the ICS 3d converter app badly uninstalled as installed). I tried to update the app and it gave me an error.
Do you or anyone have or has the xbsall's ics 3d converter apk ? If so, can you put that apk version available here as a download, please?
I know it was the one that was giving me problems but if the system is not letting me install the GB 3.0 version, I need the one that came with the rom in order to see if there is another way to fix the problem...
Thank you and thank you guys for your help...
