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?
here you go
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.

Push the file to /system/app using a root explorer (Root Explorer or ES File Explorer are best ones imo), then fix permissions & reboot

Make sure its permissions match other permissions in system/app. Should be rw-r-r.

i did the same thing with the deleting of the facebook sense and i have done everything on this thread but when i reboot in to recovery i do not see the "fix permissions" is that supposed to be in the root explorer or on the white screen, please help me im a noob
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 want to use Location Spoofer to spoof my GPS location. In it's description it says:
"Spoof your device location, make it appear to be in another place.
A simple utility to set a fake wireless networks location.
You have to allow mock locations under Settings -> Applications -> Development
(rooted phones can spoof location with mock locations disabled, move the app to /system/app to get that)"
I want to be able to spoof my location WITHOUT checking the "allow mock locations" option checked.
My Droid X is rooted with Z4. I can't see the apps in the data folder. I thought I would be able to once I was rooted? What a I missing?
I used Atsro to view folders and files, but the data folder was empty.
you have to use root explorer or super manager and move the .apk to /system/app

Great! Now where is the APK installed by default? I thought I knew but I guess not.
Let me do some exploring real quick
edit: they save to /data/app

Ok, now I don't see a /data folder. I see it when I use Astro File Manager, but it is empty. Using Super Manager, I don't even see the folder at all...any idea why?
I believe you have to enable root in super manager. Let me check (I use root explorer)
Edit: enter "File Explorer" and then hit your menu button and select "Setup" then "Enable ROOT Function" then hit "Back up level folder" a couple times and you should see the /data folder

Easy
Root your device
Install Root Explorer.apk (google search)
Open Root Explorer. Then copy your app .apk file to root/system/app (check if you choose RO instead of RW).
Reboot and enjoy!

I figured it out, thanks for the help This post was really helpful :victory:
What if I use root explore but it just restarts the phone instead of actually transferring to system?
The phone is rooted and it's an HTC One m8 I've tried multiple apps to move it to the system but none of them work.
When I tried to transfer the apk to the /system/app, Error is displayed - "The item base.apk could not be written". This is after giving the permission to modify the /system/app folder. Any help is appreciated!
I rooted my phone and have the fake gps thing, but when I go to system mover app and try to make it a system app, it says done, reboots, and it has Uninstalled my app, wth

Open file explorer. Go to system/app folder. Search for moved app and install again. If it not moved then other app mover apps.
Its actually system/priv-app.. Either way, better use link2sd or any other such app to move the fake GPS pro to system app. Then reboot.

I put the DeskClok.apk on the sd card then I tryed to install, but it give me an error ..
how do I install this or any other APK into the system/app folder ?
is this okey to install on Galaxy Gio 2.2.1 FROYO ???
What is the error? because that helps give you an answer.
Do you have your settings to allow installs from outside the market?
Go to settings, applications, Unkown sources and tick the box.
What error are u getting?
I'm getting this error .. "error analysis ... there is a problem with the analysis package"
(don't know if its well translated .. I'm portuguese, so I get the error in portuguese)
I put it on the SD card .. clik in it and it give me this error ..
It probably said problem parsing the package. It maybe that that file is corrupted so look for a different one and try it.
well .. that was the only one I find here .. for galaxy gio
I accidentally deleted my DeskClock.apk ... I tried to search for it but none are the original clock for gio ...
I hoped this was the one .. don't you know how can I get the original DeskClock.apk for GIO 2.2.1 Froyo ??
Ok let me see what I can do.
thanks a lot
i'll be waiting for a reply !!
Ok considering deskclock a standard app here's a link download one of these apk's to see if it works try the newest ones first.
http://search.4shared.com/search.html?searchmode=2&searchName=deskclock+apk
You can even download from your phones browser to make it easier. Just make sure you have unknown apps checked.
thanks a lot ..
i'll try it now ..
Just hit the thanks button if I helped its a non-dev like me got.
System apps are not signed, so they cannot be installed through the normal way. You'll need Root Explorer or another root level file explorer. EStrongs File Explorer is free - you may need to enable root access in settings. I highly recommend getting Root Explorer if you can. It's on sale for $.99 in the Amazon App Store and possibly in the market. I purchased it from the market so I can't see the price right now.
Anyway, I'll give you the directions with Root Explorer, but they may be a little different with another app. Navigate to where you have the apk on your SD card. Long-press on the apk and select copy, then use the up level button (at the top of the folders, marked as "... " ) until you can't go any further. You'll be at the root directory of your phone. Open the system folder and select "mount r/w" near the top left, then app (you'll be in /system/app) and select the paste button. Long-press on the deskclock.apk and select "permissions" from the menu. Mark it so it looks like this:
Read Write
Read
Read
Then reboot your phone & it should be there.
Alternatively, you could reflash your rom without wiping data to get the app back. Reflashing will override any changes you've made to the system, and any apps you've deleted will need to be deleted again. Good luck!

Thanks a lot .. your tutorial about root explorer is really explicit .. I dindn't know it would be that easy .. i'll purchase and try it now
About Reflashing ...
what is it ?
how can i do it ?
He probably talk about to reflash your stock rom as i linked u in your other thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16810804&postcount=8 in second post of that thread is explain how to flash your samsung.
Hi
I have installed an app and i have delete it, but when i install again the app remember it was previously installed.
I think there is a file somewhere on my phone with the name or something of the app. Anyone know how to find and erase this file ?
Even with a factory reset or when i delete app in my google account, the app remember it was previously installed.
Thanks for your help
what is the name of the that app? it seems that's a System app
Google keeps track of your installs and just factory resetting and uninstalling will not clear the apps folder on the internal storage. This has been changed in 5.0
Zelendel do you know where are the tracks, is it a folder or a file ?
Thx

Depending on the app sometimes it will make a folder in either data/app/data or storagecard/data.
In 5.0 this is supposed to be fixed to where apps will remove all their files and folders and not just the app.
I accidentally deleted bluetooth. I flashed(?) the stock recovery found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/general/twrp-recovery-root-blu-pure-xl-allview-t3269447 and had no luck. I also tried factory resetting it. Any ideas on how to get it to work again? Whenever I try to enable bluetooth I get the "Bluetooth share has stopped working" error.

Do you mean you uninstalled one of the Bluetooth apps in System > Advanced Settings > Apps > All?
If so, please use some sort of root explorer app (you have to be rooted first) to navigate to either /system/app/Bluetooth or /system/priv-app/Amigo_Bluetooth and install whichever .apk that appears to be not installed. I believe this should fix your issue.

Interesting.
I've uploaded my /system/app/Bluetooth folder here. Could you please download that, extract the folder inside to somewhere, and either:
Push the folder via adb using the command adb push Bluetooth /system/app/ while your command prompt/terminal is in the same directory where you extracted the "Bluetooth" folder (cd DRIVE:\your\directory\path\Bluetooth (Windows) or ~/your/directory/path/Bluetooth (Linux) ).
or
Transfer the extracted "Bluetooth" folder to either your microSD or a USB Drive, plug it into your phone and move the folder to /system/apps using your root file explorer app.
Finally, install the Bluetooth.apk inside (which I'm assuming is the one you uninstalled since it is missing).
Let me know how it goes, thanks!

Can you check again? Make sure you go to your system folder from your phone's root directory. It should contain almost all of the default apps installed on your phone when it came out of the box (with the rest of it being in priv-apps).
I have the exact same problem as the OP - I tried downloading the said file but my phone says the file is corrupt - can someone please send an updated version?
Same problem, file corrupt.
Bluetooth got erased because the system detected that the app was sending sms by itself (or so it said) and thus deleted it. I have the same problem as the one above, the file seems to be corrupt and can't install the .apk
Please, if there is another way to solve this say so.
Same problem...
I have the same problem as above, my phone detected the SMS permission and said it might cost you money and recommend an uninstall. I never realised I would be able to uninstall Bluetooth without being rooted but it did it anyway - maybe it's an android bug?
Anyway, I tried downloading your Bluetooth.apk and reinstalling but it said file corrupt.
Any help would be much appreciated! Sounds like this is a bug that's been going around...

following this thread will allow you to reload the factory rom to default settings, including all factory apps and files. this is a "OEM reset"

Thanks for the info.
I dont know yet if a simple apk via adb could fix the problem here instead of flashing the complete device
Fixed
Hey, I had a look elsewhere and found a forum on the Lenovo website (can't post link here), hopefully this will work for you too.
Basically you want to go to Settings>Apps>Reset app settings and that'll do the trick.
Good luck!
