Hi,
I would really appreciate if anyone can please provide me these stock apps for Gingerbread 2.3:
1. Keyboard not coming up (I think the LatinIME.apk / odex)
2. Cannot open pictures (Gallery app)
3. "About Phone" will not display.
At least these are what I have discovered missing till now. I went on a rampage with my Root Explorer, blindly deleted unknown APKs.
Thanks.
Which phone
sent from my x phone
It's a Spice MI-280 (India)
for the gallery, try cool 3d gallery, is the stock one published by someone else. you could move it to system later...

Thanks Andres but there's an issue. I cannot use the keyboard, so I cannot log in to Google, so I cannot install an app from Google.
I need an attachment or download link for the APKs.

Hi Alsadah, thanks for the APKs. But there seems to be some other problem. I tried installing the APKs but it says "Could not install."
I also tried pasting the APK and ODEX inside the root/data/app folder, still no luck. Any idea? or do I need to reinstall the original ROM?

Okay Alsadah, gallery is up and running :good:
But no luck with keyboard. Still saying "not installed." Actually there is a strange problem I am facing now. Before getting your apk, I had installed gbkb.apk a gingerbread keyboard I had found from google. Now after every few seconds i am getting the message "gingerbread keyboard stopped unexpectedly. Force Close" It seems the application is unable to shut down and hence is unable to be uninstalled. This might be the reason why your keyboard apk is not installing. Dunno.
Somehow cannot find a way to kill the damn gbkb.

You should go on the market and download a keyboard. any keyboard.
or you can even install directly from a PC. login to play market, search for a keyboard that works on android, and then install it on you device. once you are connected to internet from your phone (wifi or mobile data), the app will be installed. once you have a keyboard, there are many ways to play around...

I cannot understand, how your new gallery apk worked but not keyboard. I hope you did not give me the older one again, because in your new zip, gallery folder contained only apk not odex, but keyboard folder contained both apk and odex, so i am wondering if by mistake you gave the older version again.

Hey,
So, I use an Android 2.3.2 AOSP custom ROM. It's an in-dev ROM and lacked voice input.
I wanted Voice Search. When I installed VoiceSearch apk found on a forum in system/app but it didn't work. So, I assumed it lacked a core component.
Now, when I installed it from the market, it worked. However, when I moved the same apk from data/app to system/app, it stopped working.
Why is this happening? I found similar behavior with SwiftKey X beta. They both work as user app but when moved to system/app, they break.
Did you reboot after moving the apps?

Have you tried going to the app in app manager and clearing data and cache. If that doesn't do anything you could use a file explorer program to delete it from /system/app folder and then download it from play store.

Programs like root explorer will let you delete it. You have to select the r/w option though because /system is r/o by default.

Are you able to download other stuff from store or do you get the same error with other apps. I know nova isn't supported on our devices so maybe play store is just blocking it. Do you have the apk of the new version. You could try just copy and paste into you system app folder.

well it downloads angry birds. and i thought if an app wasnt supported on a certain device it didnt show up. bc i was running it before and the only problem i came across was that it wouldnt update.
ill try to paste the APK into the system/app folder....
[edit]
i rebooted my phone, this time after the loading screen, it said "Android is upgrading/updating" i dont remember which.... but Nova launcher keeps crashing.... trying to run the beta.... it wont start.
You could try and do the fix permissions option in recovery to maybe give it the right permissions. It might need a certain access level. Also it might have to be in /data/app for market to recognize it. Seems weird though that it's giving you so much trouble. I looked it up on my phone and it shows me the app but has the black bar that says "your device is not supported" in place of the download option. It would be nice if all apps just worked the way you wanted them to.

My wifes phone had that same issue. Everytime she took a video or picture she would have to unmount and remount the sd card for gallery to show it, and that only worked sometimes. She has never rooted and was just using the provided 8gb sd card. I bought her a new 16 gb class 10 from best buy for 20 bucks and she hasn't had the problem since.

I saw that there's a new camera update available, and I tried to install it from the play store, but it gives me an error saying there's something wrong with the signature and refuses to install. I found an apk elsewhere and tried to install from that, but again, it would be give the an error message saying "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".
I went to settings->apps->camera and cleared data, force stop, disable, etc, but nothing worked. I was using Jishnu's camera mod, but about a month ago, my camera app stopped working. I did flash it back to stock 4.4.2 found in Jishnu's thread, but still no luck. I even tried to uninstall camera using Titanium, but it couldn't find the apk.
Any ideas?
EDIT
Solved!

Delete the old camera app using a file explorer. It'll be in /system/app/, /data/app/ or maybe even /system/priv-app/

How I fixed it:
Delete GoogleCamera.apk in /system/apps
Flash the 4.4.2 camera restore found in Jishnu's thread
Camera should work now
Update camera
???
Profit!

I'm having this exact same problem. I'm running Omnirom, so I thought it was related to that.

Yeah, really weird!
I couldn't get it to work with any combination of methods. Update from store, update with apk, uninstall and reinstall from store or with apk, nothing!
And today, as i was going to demonstrate to a friend how the update fails, all of a sudden the installation went through! I had downloaded the apk from AndroidPolice and merely went to install it (which had failed about ten times before!) and it worked!
I have no idea what changed, but I'm happy now. Loving the new UI. Simpler, and the new features rock. Just waiting for all the old ones to be brought back.
Battery drain sucks, tho...
how did you fixed it plz tell me

I pulled the Camera (Camera2), Gallery (HMS_Gallery_GP) and Photo Editor (HMS_PhotoEnhancer_GP) apps from LlabTooFeR's A9 dump (link). I wanted to see if they'd work on my GPE-converted HTC One M8 running Android Marshmallow 6.0 (MRA58K).
Update: I've uploaded a new version that I hope works without needing to flash the APK afterwards. Additionally, at least for me, the Photo Editor is now working, including some of the Duo effects that haven't worked on my GPE for a long time. UFocus and Foregrounder don't appear to be working correctly, but at least they don't FC.
Flashable zip. I use TWRP2. Root is required.
Please note: It's been pointed out to me that the standard GPE image leaves very little space in the system partition. Not enough for the HTC apps, which are sort of large. If you're seeing that the zip isn't flashing correctly, please clear some space on your system partition (removing unwanted System G/Apps), before flashing.
Thanks to Arkaydez for some debugging.
Thanks to danial.aw for pointing out issues with GPE system partition size.
Post back with your experience. I'd like to know if it's working for everyone.

Thanks for giving it a try and feeding back. Feeling like helping me debug it?
Here's my experience when I flash it:
- When the phone restarts, there is a permission request waiting for the Gallery app.
- When you start the camera app, it requests three permissions.
- The applications and their associated libraries are installed to:
/system/priv-app/Camera2/
/system/priv-app/HMS_Gallery_GP/
/system/priv-app/HMS_PhotoEnhancer_GP/
Does your experience reflect that?
Thanks!
2 days ago I just downloaded this A9 camera from Google Play. It installed normally, for first run it asked for permission and work great. But every next open cause FC. Anyway, I think that original camera app from M8 is better, it is also to download from GP and doesn't FC.
I flashed the zip and Apps isnt shown in the menu. So I opened the zip and installed the apk's manually. Camera and Photo Editor gave FC. Gallery is opened but didnt show any pic.
Didnt work for me.

You can't install the apks manually, unfortunately. They need to go into priv-app, since they require system permissions. That's what's causing the FCs. If you've installed them, and they're sitting in /system/app, you can move them (root explorer, etc.) to /system/priv-app. Then at least the camera and gallery should work.

Interesting. Unfortunately, for me, when I go to Google Play, it tells me that both versions of the HTC camera (Camera and Camera2) are incompatible with my phone and won't let me install. I assumed that's because it was a GPE. If you download and install from APK Mirror, or install it from the market somehow, I think that it puts the APKs and libraries into /system/app, which will cause it to FC. The camera assumes it's pre-installed into /system/priv-app, and is therefore entitled to system permissions. When it's installed to /system/app, it makes system storage calls, which aren't allowed, and FCs.
That's why I thought the flashable zip would be the way to go.
I was able to avoid all the FC's by 1st flashing your zip and then installing the a9 cam apk from apk mirror. b

Thanks for that. I had previously installed the APK from APK mirror, so maybe there's some secret sauce missing from the zip. Does the Photo Editor work for you now, or does it still FC?

hi...what i did was to push the latest camera downloaded from htc apk site, if i m not mistaken link was provided above, into /system/priv-app, and chmod folder to 755 n file to 644 n reboot. after rebootin, i open the camera but it FC. i reinstalled the same apk, n it works ok
I just installed the apk and it works for me
i installed the zip file .and then the file from apkmirror .The camera isn't FC-ing. but it doesn't save any picture when i take one. can it be due to converting my SD into internal ?
also, when i click "reset to default". it starts FC-ing

I'm not sure. Have you tried the new (v2) zip? Did it prompt you for permissions for storage? The camera should have prompted you for 4 permissions, and the gallery for 1.

Hy guys,
as already written in the topic I have accidentally uninstalled the calender app wich comes with emui.
now when I install e.g. the google calender app and open the app it says the calender storage is deaktivated. It gives me also the posibilety to activate in the settings but when I type it it comes back again.
So is there any possibilety to bring the original calender app back so I can activate the calender storage?
So I figured out that I have to reinstall the calendar storage APK . Can maybe somebody upload this APK for emui 5 or share a link where I can download the file.
I believe you can find a generic one online, nonetheless, here it is. Hopefully it works.
thanks a lot.
It's not working. I get the message "package appears to be corrupt".

Might be a bit late, but if any others stumble upon this:
place the apk provided above in system/priv-app. Make sure it has all r/w permissions and then restart phone! Should work then.
