Guide-Easy Way to Re install Deleted Applications

The easiest way, at least for me, to get an app into /system/app is to use Root Explorer to copy the apk into /system/app.
To do this:
In Root Explorer, copy the apk file you want to put in /system/app
Navigate to the /system/app directory
Tap the Mount R/W button on the top right
Tap Paste
Scroll down to the pasted apk, long press on it and select Permissions (you'll see 9 check boxes when you do this)
Check the Read and Write buttons for User, and only the Read boxes next to Group and Others, then tap OK (once you're done, the read/write permissions under the app name should be the same as all the other apps listed (rw-r--r--))
Reboot.
If anybody want any system app,i have backup of all the stock rom apps...let me know if somebody want...

Get "Google Now" on Your Rooted Ice Cream Sandwich

Open Root Explorer or another root-enabled file explorer and go to /system.
Tap the "Mount R/W" button, then scroll down to build.prop and press and hold on it. Tap "Open in Text Editor".
Find the line that says ro.build.version.sdk=15 and change it to read ro.build.version.sdk=16. Press the menu button and tap "Save and Exit".
Go to /system/app and hold-press GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk. Rename it to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk1. If that file doesn't exist (it didn't for me), just skip this step.
Reboot your phone and install the Google Now APK, once again available here.http://d-h.st/GZ1
Go back and edit build.prop as described in step two, and change the ro.build.version.sdk line back to 15.
Reboot your phone one last time.

So Tumpy, I followed the instructions for my rooted ICS 4.0.4 E4GT phone, and the app installs fine, asks for permissions, but something happens and it won't take voice input or give voice output. I can see that it will be awesome when it works.
You don't need to do half the things in the OP. There is a large thread about it in the Android Apps and Games subforum. Voice does not work- it's a kernel thing, not just an app.

[Q] How to get build.prob?

Hey guys I am using FonePad7 ME373CG I want to root it but I don't know what my Build.Prob is so please help
Well since you don't have root, all system content is only readable. So using a file explorer (Es File Explorer - recommended) go to /system and scroll down. When scrolling down you will see build.prop tap it and open it, you won't be able to save or edit it. So click edit (click top right menu button) in the built in note pad, copy all of the content. Make a .txt file and paste it there. All the info should be there about the device.

[Q] No navigation bar buttons on Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean

Hello . I have a chinese tablet NX007HD8G .
The navigation bar ( back , home , recent) buttons are gone .
I tried a backup from the same device but it did not work .
I also tried copying the same /system/app and /system/data/data folders to my tablet but still did not work . Does somebody know how to fix this ?
You need to have root access on your device.
Install Root Explorer or ES File Explorer or any file manager with which you can access the system partition.
Open your preferred file manager and mount the system partition as read-write in stead of read only.
Grant superuser access when it prompts.
Go to the system folder present in the root of file system. i.e the path- /system
Now open the file *“build.prop” in any Text Editor. For Root Explorer users, long click on “build.prop” file and tap on “Open with Text Editor”. (Before editing this file, for a safety, copy this file to the external memory card and save as a backup.)
Now add the following line to this file at the end:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save and Exit.
Now reboot your device.
Voila! You now have navigation bar on your device!
Press Thanks if I helped!

[Completed] Play store error "no connections".

I've seen many android users facing PLAY STORE ERROR "NO CONNECTIONS".I've 2 solutios that might fix this problem.(Requires Root Permission.
1.Fist step you have to download ES File Explorerer or any root explorer.You can download it anywhere on Internet
Now open it and press the option button at the upper left corner.Then scroll down until you see ROOT EXPLORER and "ON" it.
Now go to the root directory. (/)
Open "etc" folder and scroll down untill you see "host".
Simply delete it.
Your problem solved.
2. In case if this method didn't works,create a new txt file named "host".When you rename it,it should look like this "host.txt".
Open it and a pop-up should appear.Choose Es note editor or own applicaton editor.
Again choose option bar at upper right corner and press edit.
write 127.0.0.1 localhost.
This method should end the problem.Thanks
