Galaxy Tab..
So i got these three application pre installed in the tab related to muslim religion, the Holy Quron, Qiblah and some direction app.. they were factory installed.
As much as secular as i am.. i dont like having apps in my phone that i didnt put there..
So i went about finding out a way to uninstall them.. Long story short using busybox,superuser and titanium backup i got rid of the three..
Aha i felt like i became a jedi..
till i reset
and found the menu has replaced the icons of those three apps with nothing.. It's Empty..
I tried moving the other apps onto those empty spaces but dont work..
Any ideas people?
* May the force be with you..
This is only a test to see if i get a mail when someone replies..
You can reflash firmware - that will be the best way.. After you delete those apps and you see that all work - just do nandroid backup, and if you need to do reset - just restore backup..
If you do flash stock firmware, as suggested by DemonGloom, or a factory reset (same thing) then you'll get it back to how it was. If you then use Titanium Backup to simply freeze the apps then they'll no longer show in your app drawer (app menu). That's the most effective way of hiding them.
Alternatively, you can use Launcher Pro instead of the stock launcher and you can hide apps from the menu with that as well.
Either way, just get back to stock and take it from there.
Good luck
Okay, so I was on GB for a while and went back to froyo. Now there is a part of the contacts shortcut I miss. So, I am trying to pull the contacts.apk, which I have already done, from a backup and replace my current system's blurcontacts.apk with it. How do I do this? Nothing I have tried seems to be working. I get it into system/app and change the permissions and still no contacts app. How do I swap out the blur apk for the stock android counterpart?
Hey all,
I've been using galaxy R for couple of months now and i've started to face this problem from a week.I have observed that after i add new images (jpg) to usb storage they dont appear in the gallery after the media scan.I've tried restart and clear data for gallery app but nothing seems to work.
I can very well see the images in myfiles or astro file manager, also tried quickpic and it displays the newly added images correctly.Also if try to open images from filemanager using gallery app,takes long time to open any image which is again not the case with quick pic.
I really need the default gallery app very badly.
Thanks.
Check if there aren't any other files in your image folder. Sometimes noimage.dat or other file appears out out nowhere and it causes the gallery problem. Delete that file if it is the case + try to not keep other file-types in your pics folder.
Well I've checked it and there are no such files neither hidden one. Also i've completely deleted the previous folder and copied to a new folder.But looks like gallery is freezed except for the camera folder and images downloaded through internet only gets updated.I've deleted entire contents of cache folder in data/cooliris but does not work.In fact previous images turned black.I dont seem to understand whats going on with the gallery.
maybe try a factory reset
Hi!!
Suddenly the Gallery app was missing. Not only the icon, the app.
I was checking, and it´s probably that Some Clean Program has erased it.
Now is only the Album App on it.
I couldn´t find the apk to reinstall. Found some, but all with spam... so there were modificated...
Is there anyway to reinstall without the factory reset?
Thanks!!

Factory reset won't help. On what ROM/firmware are you?
Android: 4.2.2
Compilación: 15.3.A.1.14
Not rooted. Not flashed. Only stock.
Thanks.
Then you can't have removed a system app. You could only have turned it off. Go to Settings > Apps > All > scroll down to the bottom of that list and then you see all the apps that are disabled (if any) and then you can restore them.
But I don't think there's a gallery app in stock sony firmware, because the Album app replaces it.

I did that... and now again. Only disabled some G+, wich is showing as disabled correctly.
But Gallery is not there.
And Gallery came with stock... maybe in it was installed for any reason. When I bought the cell, came with Android 4.1. Then update by it self.
Could be in a new firmware / update, the Gallery was deleted?
As far as I know, there's no app named GALLERY in Xperia L. The default app is named Album. So look for Album and not Gallery in the application list.
Also you're not rooted so its not possible that the app was deleted. You should search for app called Album and clear its cache and data. Hope this works
Also, in this case I believe factory reset will work.

Google Plus has a gallery-like app bundled within. Try enabling that app and then update it to the latest version. You can also disable it again later
Well, I have checked again as you recommend, and still can´t find the gallery app.
Also I enabled G+, but the icon Gallery is still missing...
But! always there is a But... I checked the G+ Photo Gallery, and looks pretty similar... is not the same, but very similar.
And in that moment, I remembered with gallery, there was some config to upload / syncronize with G+
So probably the G+ has changed, Or when I disabled G+ something stop and never came back again.
Some things are a mistery too. Maybe this is one of them.
After the recent Pie update I noticed that there is no more Google Photos link in Camera app. When I open the fresh photo from within the Camera app, it opens in separate editor.
So the question is:
Can I bring back good old Photos to my camera?
P.S. It's not just that link is missing. If I delete the photo from within this weird new editor, it stays in Photos app.

I had the same problem when I removed the oneplus galley app with the 'system app safe remover' app (Root required) from the playstore. Even with a different camera app. Installing OnePlus Gallery again from the playstore didn't solve he problem.
Tried to remove the DCIM folder by renaming it, I restored the uninstallation with 'system app safe remover' but that didn't solve the problem either. Removing all updates for the oneplus gallery app by "uninstalling' the Oneplus Gallery app from the playstore. It removed all updates but didn't solve it either. What it did fix was flashing the same rom without wiping the userdata. after that it worked again.
Hope it will solve your problem too.
Maybe offtopic: Anyone knows how to uninstall the default oneplus gallery app without breaking the link to the DCIM photo's?
