I accidentally removed the email app on a rooted version of gingerbread. I backed it up, but apparently, it didn't back up successfully. Can someone provide the APK and installation instructions? I need it for my work email.
Thanks
In case no one provides it briefly and you need it urgently, you can download any GB Rom and extract the email.apk from its /system/app directory.
Then copy it to your phones /system/app using a root browser, and set it's permissions to rw-r-r (644)
Reboot & you should be good
Thanks so much for the response. I'll give that a try. What's the .odex file in the app directory?
Email.apk? That's all you should need

Hi,
I am based in the Middle East and do not have market in my galaxy tab. I hard reset my device and installed astro file explorer to check if vending.apk is available. It does show vending.apk, but the file size is zero and more over in system/app ,all the applications have .apk & .ODEX file but vending has only .apk ,which is 0 bytes. How can i replace the vending.apk and also add vending.odex to system/app. I tried root explorer but couldnt successfully paste vending.apk file. Any help will be really appreciated.
I can help,
Just type *#272*IMEI*
A screen will show, select SGX, (just back up everything before doing this)
your device will reboot, and you will find the market icon.
Download all market apps you want.

I have tried EVERYTHING I can read. For one thing, when I try
adb install TouchWizCalendar.apk
-> I get an error that says INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT
--> I have 64mb of phone memory, and my phone is rooted...
adb push TouchWizCalendar.apk /system/app
-> Permission Denied
I finally copied the TouchWizCalendar.apk back over along with the odex file to the system/app folder using Root Explorer, but the program isn't in my app drawer, and I can't even access it from my calendar widget on launcher pro.
Any help is appreciated... Thank you
EDIT:: I really don't care if it's the TouchWiz calendar that I install or the default stock calendar, I would just like A calendar... Any help is appreciated.. I'm still trying to get it worked....
EDIT::: I just checked logcat and I'm getting an error "Package does not include classes.dex" when trying to install. Anyone know why?
Okay, I figured it out... Sort of.
If anyone else gets this problem you should go to
forum.cyanogenmod.~com/topic/395-cyanogenmod-5-for-nexus-one-kang-central-station-v508-06192010/
Without the ~ before com. I can't post links.
Download Cyanogen's mod, and extract the file, navigate to system/apps and retrieve Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk. Put those on your phone's SD card and install like any regular apk file.
This worked for me. It's not the TouchWizCalendar, but it's A Calendar, that is working atleast...
Have you tried moving the apk to the phone and installing from there and capture the log, it might give some useful information
I've read about this here a bit but it's not really well documented or tutorialized.
So, how can someone change stock launcher to whatever launcher he/she wants ?
I know this is done via adb console, this is not the issue. But dunno what needs to be taken out and replaced; if something needs to be renamed or not. Where can the apk files be found for newly installed software ? and also what needs to be removed from the stock launcher ? odex & apk ? I know where to find the apk, but not the odex. and are any more files "bound" to the stock launcher except the apk and the odex file ? If say i use a filemanager to locate my desired launcher (having said launcher installed), will pushing it into the /system/app folder do the trick or do I have to rename it ? That means that basically the system/app folder is like a folder for apps that are launched automatically when phone starts.
Can someone help me & shed some light on this ? Thanks !
as few ways to do this. isntall launcherpro (or what launcher you want).
use root explorer to move com.fede.launcher.apk from /data/app to /system/app
change the name to launcherpro.apk
change the permissions to read for user, group and others. write for user only.
reboot
once you select launcherpro, use root explorer, go to /system/app, and delete launcher.apk or home.apk or whatever your rom uses as stock home/launcher.
or, use adb
Code:
abd push launcherpro.apk /system/app
Thanks man, though I have some questions:
Q1: how do I do
change the permissions to read for user, group and others. write for user only.

Don't I have to rename launcherpro.apk to home.apk in order for it to work @ startup time ?
Instead of deleting home.apk, perhaps moving them to the sdcard might be better (just in case).

you can use root explorer to change permissions. just long press the apk and a submenu will pop up with permissions being an option.
whether or not you need to change the name of launcherpro will depend on your rom/device. you can leave launcherpro as is and leave home.apk in there, reboot. when it boots, it should have a popup asking which you'd like to use as the launcher.
or, install launcherpro like normal, select it to be the default launcher and it should always launch at boot.
thanks a lot ! will try this out !

HELP ME...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, running Gingerbread XWKDD, Android 2.3.3, Samsung's Touchwiz 4.0.
Rooted my SGS2 and got Titanium Backup, I uninstalled the clock app because I thought it was a widget and I didn't want to see alot of widget. Anyway, turns out the clock 1.0 is actually a system app by the name of com.sec.android.app.clockpackage
and titanium backup can't reinstall it, when i extract the .apk from the backup file and try manually installing, it doesn't install either, just says application not installed.
I also can't find this on Android market.
ok, so after some digging i found that com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.apk still existed in system/apps but just wasn't running. I also noticed for almost every .apk, there was a .odex. But for my clockpackage, there was no .odex, maybe that's why it's not working?
on that thought, maybe anyone here can copy their .odex files for the 2 clock .apks and send them to me? Just use Root Explorer to see the system/app folder, mount R/W if you need to, then copy the 2 .odex files and then upload them somewhere? Pls?!?
if you want root explorer, holla at me via pm
Hi,
I have the same problem with Contacts.apk (no .odex, Titanium or. RootExplorer can't install), so i can't open the number-pad to make a call.
I have tried to copy the backuped Contacts.apk manualy to /system/app, the rebooted, but it don't hlep.
Solved: I have Installed the VillainROM 1.0 and the app is back.
U tried reflashing your current rom??
Its the most clean solution... Because if you copy and paste from another device i'm sure about the system file its not going to work correctly(cache data from another device...mmm i think it will not work...)

Hey so I was hoping you could help me out. I had a bunch of stuff saved in my mini diary when I flashed 2.2 for Continuum. The new ROM didnt include this app and I lost it. I have the data saved with Titanium backup but it didnt save an apk.
If anyone has the apk that would be awesome.
download the EC07 Clean zip, unzip it and grab it out of there, along with any other stock app you need
Alright so I went out and got the apk from the EC07 clean however when I try installing it I get Application not installed.
I then tried putting it in system/apps which makes it show up however when I run the app it always force closes.
Help me out?
weird, ummmm, flash EC07-Clean? idk I've never used mini diary, just always deleted it first thing
You need to manually put it in /system/app of course, you need root for that

If its fc'ing on a manual push to system/apparel, id flash the clean Ron, back up the app with titanium backup, reflash Nickinson ember and restore. Just remember to wipe dalvik after each flash

Alright got it figured out. I noticed some of the permissions got changed when I copied it into system/app so I changed those and it now works! Thanks for the help everyone!
i'm having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 for T-mobile. I tried both ways to restore it, via Titanium Backup and manually moving the APK file to system/app. i got the same "App not installed" message.
What exactly did you change on the permission? Did you change it in Super Manager? Can you post it step by step. How do you even change the permissions? Sorry, i'm a noob here.
Thanks for any help.
I used root explorer to push it into the system/app folder. Upon pushing the apk the permissions were rwxrwxrwx
Once the apk was in the folder I change the permissions to rwxr-xr-x or
Owner: read write execute
Group: read execute
Others: read execute
To change the permissions in Root Explorer you just push/hold the apk in the system/app folder and then select permissions.
hmmm...... i did exactly as you did. changed permission the same as you had it. still no luck. i even turned off phone and rebooted. Can anyone help?
