I rooted my Archos 70 with Archangel, then deleted Email.apk in system/app with root explorer.
But when I open this folder again I see "deleted" Email.apk.
So I could not change stock email.apk for another becouse it even doesn't allow me to delete it.
Could you help?
PS I used different aplication to substitute\delete Email.apk but with no success
And you won't be able to do that if you root it with arcangel.
The Archos System folder is in a compressed and signed cramfs, there is no delete possible.
If you want to do something like that, use UrukDroid.
You can use Chulri's simpler root too.
I then replace the stock email.apk with Samsung Galaxy two-pane email. It works great and survives reboot.

I am looking for the stock samsung memo app. I believe I found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10157669&postcount=1492
The problem is it won't install I unzipped it and and tried to install just the memo apk.
I also searched and came across this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811097 Again the apk will not install but this one had a odex I am not sure what that is.
How can I get this to work?
Your gonna have to manualy put it in system/app with root explorer. If your on stock rom you will have to have an odex file with it. The odex files are in the system/. But if your running a custom rom its probly been deodex so just push the apk.
Fear the beard...
I do have a custom rom Nero 5. I was trying to run the apk from my downloads folder. I just tried to move/copy it to system/apk and it will not move with astro file manager. Am I doing something wrong?
You know i dont use astro so i dont know. You may want to try to fix permisions in clockwork. But if if I were you I would just pay the $1.99 for root explorer, its the best app for root users. I use it all the time to install memo on nero roms. You know my girlfriend has a mt4g temp rooted and I cant install anything in there with linda file manager.
Fear the beard...
For some reason, my email.apk bombed after i installed the CF CWM KG2 kernel and I dont have a email client on my SG2 anymore. Nitrality is unable to install any app on my SG2 as well even though it has root access. Not sure what is going on with my SG2 but wondering if anyone has a copy of the email.apk and email.odex files from their /system/app folder that they can share.
How do i install apk as system apk?
I tried to paste the apk's with root explorer to /system/apps and grant permissions of "rw-r--r--" and reboot
but its still don't work..
Is there another way?
You just need to paste the .apk in the External SD card/Internal storage and Install from there. Simple. No need for Root Explorer for that.
Regards.
Alternatively, I usually just email the apk and then open it on the phone. It gives a direct install button option in the email itself, downloads and installs like any other app from the market.
I just installed Cognition S2 1.42 and it removed some of the system app like Social Hub and AccuWeather widget, so i would like to install them again.
In Cognition thread said for installing the removed apps you need to transfer them to "/system/apps".
I tried that but it didn't work, after web searching I found that I need to change the permissions to "rw-r--r--", I tried that ether and it didn't work.
So is there other way to do it?
Thanks for replying
Hej,
So I try to push the musicplayer.apk in the system/app folder with terminal, that works as I reboot but it's not installed. but it's in the folder system/app and rw-r-r... do I have to instal it from the system/app folder? or should it automaticly instal it when it reboots?
what am I doing wrong?
grts,
lio
Try installing it normally by transferring apk file to sdcard and installing it using some file explorer, then move the apk from /data/app to /system/app using root explorer and set the permissions to match with those of the other apps

If I try to install it, it says "app not installed". I'll look for a better apk. you know where to find default apps for sgs2? I just like the MusicPlayer.apk from the stockrom. it can sort by folder and it's easy to use!!
and a little question, can I get notifications in my email if someone replies or sends me a message on xda or something. cause I have to check it post by post...
oke found a good musicplayer!!! Mortplayer! it's free and maybe even better...
thanks!!!
I rooted with the stripped down ROM. But i need the stock email app in order to sync my Exchange contacts Where can i get just this apk? Thanks !!
Right. Download my ROM for example and extract Email.apk from zip file. Then copy it using RootExplorer or adb into /system/app on your phone. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot.

Excuse my ignorance, but i can't seem to extract from any of the ROM's ive downloaded (can't find the link to yours if i click the ics one in your signature it just takes me to a long thread with no obvious links). I know how to use adb to get the file onto the phone, but cant figure out how to get it out of the .tar.ext4 file ?
download blazer rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746184
then use 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open the zip.
navigate to system/app and find email.apk
extract it from there (drag and drop it out of the 7zip window to your desktop)
then copy that to your phone ... either use adb to push it to system/app or use root explorer on your phone.
hope that helps
Hi, I realize that your rom says that it's just for Sprint, if I were to download it and take the contacts.apk from it, would that not work on my AT&T galaxy SIII?
I accidentally disabled it and am currently trying to find a way to get it back onto my phone. :'( *I already looked at my settings>applications>all and it's not there. [contact storage is there, but I can't find the application that I use to actually read that, after the disabling.//I raged on it for continually popping up on my advanced task manager.]

I rooted (using this method: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sch-i535-root-101633/) and ended up using the non-bloatware version and apparently the regular email app was considered bloatware for some reason because it disappeared.
So I tried following your instructions, but there was no "email.apk" in the download, so I figured you probably meant "exchange.apk." Followed the instructions, moved it to system\app, changed the permissions, and rebooted but it's still not showing. So I went back to try to install it manually, and it just tells me it wasn't installed successfully (and yes, I have "unknown sources" selected).
I am also not sure if this is the stock GSIII email app, based on the icon. Looks like the old yellow email icon to me.
