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.

This is the link from the moto site with instructions on how to view online albums.. It is set that way intentionally which is quite annoying.

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.

If I had known I wouldn't be able to sync my Facebook contacts without this I wouldn't have removed it.. Can someone extract/upload the APK so that I can reinstall it without having to flash my DamageControl ROM all over again? I found an APK on another site but it doesn't seem to be working (v1.0, size is 160.73K)
Can someone please help?
*bump*
Am I really going to have to reflash the ROM?
you can easily extract the apk from the rom yourself; if you have the DC rom on your computer, just open it using winrar or some other program and go to system/app and find the app you need; then just push the app to your phone system/app
Thanks so much! I didn't know it would just be sitting in there in the zip ready for me to extract and install it! Your help is greatly appreciated
I don't have it on a computer, could someone post the apk for me?
Pretty please?

I'm new at all this stuff. Can you explain to me what to do after I download the HtcFacebook.apk. I saved it to my SD card and put the phone in recovery mode and tried to update it that way.
It's not working and I don't know what to do.
Like the previous poster I deleted HTC Facebook not realizing it would cause my contacts to not sync up with FB.
Thank you.

Having the same Problem on the Shadow Hawk Rom. Pushed htcfacebook.apk from saga rom to phone and fixed permissions. Looking good in Root explorer. But i cant add the htc facebook account. No contact pictures and updates in contacts
Maybe need the people.apk too?
update:
uninstalled original facebook app. now it looks fine. contacts + calender sync
I've had issues with Facebook for HTC before also. If you delete/re-add your facebook account in your "Accounts and Sync" it will repopulate your phone with facebook contacts.

Do you mean, copy & paste? Because a "push", in computer admin/network language is to write a script, so that when users login to their account, they have no choice than to accept a file or upgrade, (or what have you) that is being "pushed" upon them, by the network... Sorry to be splitting hairs, but it seems we're making things sound unnecessarily complicated (and inaccurate).
Same issues
Good morning all,
I too was an idiot and deleted Facebook for htc sense, and so far none of the solutions have worked for me. I have a rooted evo (I used unrevoked), and using root explorer. I have downloaded the social app file, tried installing zip from sd card (recovery mode), moved the files to system/app and changed permissions, and then booted into recovery and fixed permissions there. When I go to accounts and sync it says com.htc.bg has stopped unexpectedly. It is my assumption that somewhere in that jumble was a step missed, therefore I dig up this thread for assistance. As always any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

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?

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.

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

And you correctly changed the permissions in the /system/app folder?
Yes
Check your permissions. I did it and it worked for me. Remember that the folders have different permissions than the files.
Did u move it to the priv app folder or the app folder?
Confirmed that when ALL permissions are set properly it works great! The app and the folders have different permissions like the other guy said

Just the /System/App folder. Use Root Explorer to do the permission settings. Just match what other random folders/apps permissions look like in the /System/App folder.
Thanks I got it working!!!
**edit**
Got it!
I've created a tutorial here.
I copied to /system/app, changed the permissions of the SBrowser folder, the apk, the lib folder, and each of the files inside the lib folder, but then I get this when I try to install the apk. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: I must have missed the previous post. Got it working now. Thanks!

For anyone wanting to change their emoji and not sure if you want to use that switcher app, its very simple. Install ES file explorer (i can't imagine most of you don't already have it) and go to system/fonts and locate "NoToColorEmojii.ttf" and rename it to your liking (i just renamed it with NoToColorEmojii_OLD.ttf). Then download a replacement TTF emoji file, i used this one :

I am certain about root priviliges. SuperSU prompts me when root is required, and I am using a custom rom.
I used a script in the app RomManager to mount system RW to no avail.
I am using ES File Manager. I dont understand this, so any help is appreciated. Thanks

I'm not a noob by any stretch but I'm feeling like one again with this LG stuff so just to clarify this is basically just a guess, but if you're positive you have root access then it sounds like the problem could be with the file explorer you're using. I don't use es file explorer myself so if it is the problem I couldn't tell you why, but I use solid explorer and I haven't had any issues with modifying system files. Anyway just thought I'd throw it out there in case you haven't already tried with a different file explorer. Hope it helps

That's good advice. My first thought exactly. I think the real problem was i had assumed the rom came with Busybox already installed. I installed Busybox when scripts for read/write access wouldnt run in apps that required it. Now things work perfectly.

It's funny because I had a similar problem when I first installed Adaway because it would download the updated host but it kept failing to install, and then it finally dawned on me when I was doing something else that required busybox that it wasn't already installed because for some reason I also had just assumed it was. Anyway I'm glad to hear you got it figured out ?
