[Q] HELP ME! I deleted a system app with Titanium Backup

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...)

[Q] Re-installation System application

Hello,
I uninstalled (inadvertently) the system application DMClient on my ASUS Transformer.
I would like to re-install. How to.
I have a backup of this System Application (com.asus.dm.apk) but it doesn't want to install.
What is the solution ?
Thank you for your responses
(Sorry for my english but i'm french)

adb push it to system/app

Thank's for the reply, but i'm newbie. Can you be a little more... explicit, please.

This thread will show hoe to set up ADB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071584
Once done put the file (com.asus.dm.apk) in the platform-tools folder
and run command
Code:
adb push <application_name>.apk /system/app
you could also try manually moving the file with Root explorer or any file management with root access to system/app to see if that work

The file com.asus.dm.apk is already on system/app but the application DMClient doesn't appear ine the Application list

Try this, not sure if it will work or not.
Navigate to where you have the app (system/app in this case)
long press on it to bring up the menu
choose "permission" and set to rw,r,r if not already set to that
now tap on it again to install the app
also when you say it's not showing up in Application list.
Are you refering to the app drawer? Cause it will not show up there.
You can find it in Settings>Applications>Manage application>All (if it's installed correctly)

I'm rooted. I have uninstalled it with UltimateBackup.
DMClient is (was) a ROM application.
I have tried to restaure it with Titanium Backup, then with Ultimate Backup without success (the restore process begin but never end).
I'm very dispointed because without this application, i can't access to OTA Firmware updates.
if anybody have an idea !!!
Thank

Well if you have CWM you could flash the latest OTA update from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409584

Flashing with a new firmware seems to be an heavy solution for only one file missing.
In system/app, i have DMClient.ODEX and com.asus.dm.apk instead of having DMClient.ODEX and DMClient.apk

How to delete system files while i'm rooted?

How to install an APK as system app

Hi,
I recently used "System App Remover" and deleted a system app "amigo_dynamicweather.apk". That app did not create a backup before deleting it. Anyways, I got that apk somehow but when I try to install it manually, I get "App not installed". So I tried to install it by moving it to system/app folder and set permissions to RW-R-R using root explorer, rebooted and nothing. App was in the system/app directly but I cannot see it installed. The permissions still are RW-R-R. How can I install it? Please help.

Error in removing system app folder in Lenovo K8 Note (Nougat 7.1.1)

I'm a newbie and this is my first thread.
I'm using Lenovo K8 Note, rooted & flashed TWRP.
By using Terminal Emulator command:
Su
Busybox mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
I can uninstall system app like Duo, Google Play Movies, etc, which I never used with ES File Explorer. But whenever I restart the device, it automatically install it back.
So, I check the system file and found out that the application folder in system/app and system/vendor/operator/app can't be deleted. Seems like that the cause of automatic restore of the app.
Any one knows how to delete such folder? Please..
