I had a questions about restoring the deleted Stocks app. I rooted with the new unrevoked last night and then installed Titanium to remove apps. I prematurely removed the Stocks app and I have been trying to get it back since.
I've tried multiple routes, from this Wildefire thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738147 I tried the apk via adb and Root Explorer. Neither worked.
Then I downloaded the stock odexed EVO rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251, grabbd the stock.apk and moved it to my \system\apps folder with Root Explorer. I've restarted, tried clearing the Dalvik Cache, pushing it via adb, none have worked.
Right now it's still sitting in the \system\app folder.
I wanted to see if there was anything else I can try to get it back? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
I take it you are running stock Rom. I think the best way is to make a nandroid of the stock Rom that you are running, with ClockworkMod. Once done download Myn's Rom or sprint lovers. Both of this Rom's have the stock Sprint apps. When flashing the Roms, please, make sure to use Rom Manager and flash ClockworkMod, than flash Amo-ra; is located at the buttom as an alternate recovery. Than once you flash the Rom, let it load, than flash clockworkMod again, than go into recovery, than restore,advance restore, select the newest nandroid, and just restore data. This will give you all the stock apps. OR just try this.

Here are some more apk's.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901393
grab the apk out of the stock rom you have, then in adb do this
adb remount
adb push Stock.apk /system/app
if you need to push the odex do this also
adb push Stock.odex /system/app
the important thing is the remount to make the system/app read write
you can go to the rom file open the file then open system then open app and add the apk you want and reload the rom into the phone that sit more simple

I did the above while booted in recovery mode with the system mounted. It successfully went in the system/app folder. I see it in Root Explorer, although it still doesn't show up in the apps menu. Oh well.

Yeah it doesn't work right if you are in recovery because it messes with permissions I heard. Just do it with phone plugged in to computer and on. If that doesn't work you can try deleting the apk and then using
Adb remount
Adb install stock.apk
Don't know if these will work but worth a try. Last resort is find a flashable zip that writes something to system/app and drop the apk in there.

When I run that command with the phone on charge mode with debugging on plugged into the computer I get a "remount failed: Operation not permitted".
I installed the Sync drivers and tried it with that but it didn't work either.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your help by the way.

Yes to both, I have been trying to do research on it. It may be the stock rom...
I tried some workarounds but they didn't work. Thanks for your help.

Just an update, I tried the .zip route you suggested. I created a Titanium back up and threw the Stock.apk in the zip. I ran the update.zip in recovery. It placed Stock.apk in the system/app folder but the app still does not appear in the apps menu. Thanks again.
Nice ROM so far.
Issues I've noticed.
RM can't boot into recovery.
AOSP messaging app still needs some polish.
Also not so much an issue as a wtf? No Radio and no video app. I like both and I believe there is an AOSP Video apk And I liked and used the FM radio, I do relize its an HTC app but It's not bloat IMO.
How can I get it back?
Is there no help to be had? I tried Googling the .apk and found an install zip package to install thru clockwork but that didn't work. It didn't do anything as far as I can tell but it was from an incredible thread so I'm guessing that was why it didn't work. I also tried to copy the .apk from the stock system/app folder to my sdcard using root explorer before I installed the ROM. When I tried to install it after the flash it failed.
What did the fail say?

Unable to install or sonethig generic like that. I may reflash my recovery image rerip out the apk and give it another go. Should I have grabbed the odex (or whatever file it was) as well?
Dear community,
I own a S4 an I'm on Jelly Bean (3.16.401.8). I successfully rooted it via the newest superuser apk. But when I try to remove ANY file under /system (including apps), after a reboot it is mystically restored!!! Where the hell do the files come from? I've searched the entire phone memory but couldn't find anything. Have I missed something? Removing files under ICS was no problem at all.
Thanks for your help

There is a zip file to flash in recovery called Easy_InitD_1.1.zip and then you'll get full root! I attached it for you.

Atleast tell which ROM were you using?
If u are using custom rom or have cwm backup in .tar format then extract the above file from rom or backup and place the file in system/app
Via aroma file manager
Default ROM

Copied the download provider ui in system/priv-app
Dirty flash whatever rom you're on.
Just pull it out of a ROM.
