[Q] Can someone post the .apk for the camera app? [SOLVED] - Streak 5 Themes and Apps

My camera app hasnt worked since 1.5.3 and it really bothers me that i keep getting a FC. I even did a factory reset with no luck so if anyone can send me the file that would be terrific!

you can always just extract it from one of DJ Steves .zips , thats what I did when I noticed mine was missing all of a sudden
Heres you go, place in system/app and set permission the same as other apps in /system
dont forget to my thanks button.

I did everything you told me to do using root explorer. I replaced the camera app with the one you provided in the system/app folder. I'm still getting a forceclose..
I pressed the camera.apk in root explorer and hit install and it said application not installed...

You have first remove old one and the install the app you have downloaded. Use titanium backup to remove old.

So in order to uninstall it with T.B. you have to hit backup and restore and scroll down to the camera app and uninstall? i did that and i uploaded the new .apk to my sd card and it wont let me uninstall from there. I tried moving it to system/app but it says "You cannot paste here because the file system is read-only" so i go to change the permissions of the .apk but the permissions wont save...

deleted my camera app a few days ago
in root explorer, go to root folder(back until you cant go back anymore),
press mount r/w, which mounts the system read/write,
then move the apk to system/app and set permissions the same as other apps in system/app
I set mine to read write execute for everyone
should be good to go after install if not reboot to be sure
also test cam and videocam and take a photo and video to test
let us know if this works

Nice call on the mount r/w. I move it to /system/app/ and set the permissions as the other apps. Then when i tried to install inside of root explorer it says installing..Application not installed. So i rebooted it and the camera app showed up AND IT WAS WORKING WITH CAMERA AND VIDEO!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH its been bugging me forever!! You sir just made my day!

quite simple actually. glad I could help.
cheers.

How do I reinstall the Market app? [Solved]

So I accidentally deleted Vending.apk, I downloaded it again from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
and pushed it to /system/app/ and rebooted my phone and I see it in /system/app/ via root explorer but the app isn't in my app drawer.
I'm running Free X10 2.2.
Anybody know what I might have done wrong or how I can fix my market?
Edit: I found a different Vending.apk and pushed it and it appeared in my app drawer but not when I launch it it says it has stopped unexpectedly... help?
Edit 2: Thanks for the help guys, fixed it with some deep searching.

1.: Take Root Explorer and Delete everything IN the folder "Data/Data/com.android.vending" & "com.android.vending.updater"
(not the folders.. but ALL the stuff they contain)
2.: Download the Vending.apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10259539&postcount=5874 and save it on your SD Card,
then Take the Root Explorer, and replace the "System/app/vending.apk" with the new one, you have downloaded. Then long press the Vending.apk > Permissions and set them for write, execute etc...
Then Restart the Phone.
It worked for me.

Help, I uninstalled "clock 1.0" and can't restore it (system app apparently)

Help, I uninstalled "clock 1.0" and can't restore it (system app apparently)
I uninstalled clock 1.0 because i thought it would get rid of the widget of clock pictures I didn't use. I backed up clock 1.0 on titanium backup, but now it won't restore. even after i extract the apk and install it from there manually, it says installation failed.
i don't want to do factory reset because i have already rooted the phone.
help? or point me in a much better clock app than the one that came with the galaxy s2?
Apparenly it was a system app?!? com.sec.android.app.clockpackage
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

Stupid me did exactly the same and has exactly the same problem. Any help appreciated!
Regards, edi
same problem - thanks in advance
Well, found a solution: installed KE7 through Odin, Rootet again, everything was still there except google account binding...
Regards, Edi
THIS IS HOW I SOLVED IT. This is a superior solution to the one above as you do not need to reflash or reroot and you keep all data and settings. Apologies for not replying earlier.
1)keep your clockpackage.apk in system/apps
2)download this .odex file
3)put the file in system/apps, remember to mount r/w in rootexplorer to enable pasting it in there, then mount r/o when finished
4)turn phone off.
5)turn phone on.
(You need Root Explorer, or a similar app that will let you read/write system files) (Pls also refer to this thread)
Here's the odex file.
No success...
Guys, I did all you said here, following the step-by-step, managed to get both files in system/app folder, but still can't see the icon as if it were installed.
I have Root Explorer and Root explorer installed.
I noticed all files were set as "rw-r--r--" so I changed it on both apk and odex... I'm doing this on a Galaxy W running stock 2.3.6...
What am I forgetting???
All and any help will be deeply appreciated...
[Update]
I managed to get the ClockPackage.apk and the ClockPackage.odex from another device (running on 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.6) and now I get the following error while trying to install the apk:
"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package"
Does anybody know what to do?

Mate, it might sounds silly, but where's system/apps? Can't find it, no matter what pro version of any software I use (MyBackup Pro, ES File Explorer). It's like it's missing on my phone. Can you help me more? I've the same problem for the case.

Did you do what the instructions said? They clearly say 'use Root Explorer'. If you open Root Explorer, and scroll down, you will find the 'system' folder. Inside there will be another, 'apps'. That's what the post says....

[TUT]Downgrading market in ICSunday ROM

Hello guys, after much of my research on getting old market back on ICSunday ROM by jusada, I finally figured out how to do so.
So let's start.
1. Download Vending.apk (Attached) onto your phone and save it to your SDCard.
2. Get/Open Root Explorer and navigate to "/sdcard" copy "Vending.apk" from there.
3. Mount R/W in "/system/app/" and paste "Vending.apk" in there.
4. In "/system/app/" folder there would be a file called "8007005.apk" rename it to "8007005.apk.abc" (I don't prefer deleting system files, so I just rename them so as to get a backup in case anything goes wrong).
5. Rename your "Vending.apk" (the one you just copied) to "8007005.apk".
6. Change permissions of your "8007005.apk" to "rw-r--r--" and Change owner to Owner: 0-root and Group: 0-root.
7. Rename "MarketUpdater.apk" in "/system/app" to "MarketUpdater.apk.abc".
8. Navigate to "/data/data/" and delete folders called "com.android.vending" and "com.android.vending.update".
9. Reboot your mobile.
10. Finally if you don't see your market downgraded just head over to Root Explorer and navigate to "/system/app/", tap "8007005.apk", when the popup shows up tap "Install" and let it install like a normal apk file.
Voila you have successfully downgraded your market!

On Cyanogenmod, i uninstalled the Updates from Market under Settings/Apps and deleted MarketUpdater.apk.
There is a better way for those roms fixed on the new market. It's automated: search oldmarket on xda it's a free root app.
how to stop market updating itself? i revert to the old one then it update it self once again.

Use titanium backup or any other app that can freeze apps, to freeze market-updater.apk

ICS ROM already comes with updated 3.3.1, so if I uninstalled updates, the market still remained the same.

Grab yourself a copy of Root Explorer (Root needed), head over to "/system/app/", mount R/W and rename file called "MarketUpdater.apk" to "MarketUpdater.apk.abc", finally uninstall updates of market and it would stop upgrading itself.

if you have root explorer [or any other] then you just can remove all read write permission of marketupdater.apk and uninstall current updates

ICS calendar app isn't showing all appoints...

I'm using my evo and my calendar app is from the kings shooter 3d and it's a great calendar app. When I sync'd the calendar app on my ics photon it only shows some of the things. Pretty much anything I manually put on my calendar isn't coming up. I have the basketball schedule, holidays, and other repeating events showing up, but nothing else. I would like to install the other calendar app so I pulled it off the rom and tried to install, but it wouldn't let it. Does anyone know how I can use the calendar app from my evo rom? Or correct the problem from my current ics calendar app? Thank you
Did you just trying installing the apk? Or did you move it into /system/app folder? If you move to that folder with Root Explorer set permissions and reboot it should work. Dont forget to rename the normal calendar to .apk.bak so if it doesn't work you can just rename it back to .apk and reboot and be back to normal.

I pulled the apk file from the rom and emailed it to myself so it downloaded and I tried to install but it wouldn't let me. Oh ok, I'll try your method. I'll have to read how to set permissions. I have a copy of root explorer and that wouldn't work either, but I have Astro and I was able to edit files with it too, but I would like to get my root explorer working also. Thanks wolf

I tried using a few file explorers even root explorer and none will let me change the name. Root explorer actually says cannot be changed because it is read only. I'm using CM7.2 now. How can I make the files read and writable?

[Q] Why can't I copy/paste apk to system/app? ("permission denied")

I have a rooted Verizon GS4 and am trying to install an apk as a system app using ES File Explorer. I have root enabled in ES but when I copy the apk from my sd card so system/app I get "permission denied". What am I missing?

Did you grant read write privileges?
Edit:
Nevermind they changed up the layout and settings I do see what youre talking about tho. Its gotta be something witb ESFM because I can paste something to system with root explorer no problem..

I believe so. Root Explorer is "on" and Mount R/W permission is set as Path/ =RO, /persdata/absolute=RW, /system=RW, /firmware-mdm=RO.
Does that sound right?
OK, I went ahead and bought "Root Explorer" and was able to copy the Calendar apk into the system/app folder. But I still can't get it to install. system/app is mounted as R/W but when I tap on the apk and run "install" it says "application not installed" every time. Any ideas why? FWIW, the apk is "SecCalendar_NAmerica_SPen.apk" and should be the apk for the stock Calendar app.

The not installing is normal, see what permissions another system app has, apply the same.to the one youre copying. Reboot and it should work.

OK, I'm now stumped. I've changed permissions and "owner" so it's identical to all other .apk's in the system/app folder. But after rebooting it still isn't installed. It looks right in the system/app folder, but the application is not in my app drawer. (No icon, widget, etc.) Any other ideas?
I know this is old but I'm having the same problem. The file is Read Only and I can't figure out how to change the path so that I can copy it to system/app.
Thank you
