I recently updated my wife's phone and lost the memo app. I thought nothing of it, because I do not use it myself, but she is pretty disappointed about it being gone.
So, first my question - will the stock fascinate Memo app run on EB01?
and second my request - could someone hook me with a link to DL it? I have looked and looked to no avail. I have found the backup of it in Titanium Backup, but Restore is not an option (prompting the question of whether it can run in EB01), and I would really like to get it back for her.
I did find this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930430 but the link is dead... Likewise, I thought to use Rom Manager, however I have read that it is not compatible with the new CWM, and if I open it, it tell me I need to flash CWM, which I don;t think I should do on EB01 SC2.4V... Really at a loss on this.
Any assist is greatly appreciated.
nobody? nothing?
Did u try just extracting the apk and using root explorer and just dropping it into system/app folder and rebooting? I find this will work for most apps that wont install directly or through cwm.
Edit. Here is a link. Hope it helps.

I guess I am confused on that line - I have seen that recommendation for other apps and issues, but I do not know where to find the apk - that is where my issue really lies...
TB does show it listed, just no restore option, and I am unable to locate the apk anywhere - market or web (so far)
I do appreciate the look...

exactly what I have been searching for - thank you so very much.
<ETA> how come you rock so hard? That was exactly the fix I was looking for and we are back to happy land. I sincerely appreciate the assist.
No problem

My wife is the same way..she wanted the stock note app. But I finally convinced her to switch to color note because you can't restore the notes..so even if you get the app back..every time there is an update she will lose her notes.

backup samsung memo database
this might be too little or too late for some of you but maybe not for others ..
I found the samsung fascinate memo stores everything in ...
/dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.memo/memo.db
if you have root access, you can copy this file to sdcard or through other method.
you can then restore it after you reimage (I assume you can) I haven't tried it yet. again I assume you need root to restore it ...
also - it is a SQLite database - so you can use "SQLite Database Browser by tabuleiro" on your PC to see all the notes. it's available on sourceforge.
click on second tab "Browse Data" - then choose table called "memo" and you will see all the memos show up in a table. double click each one and you can export, or just copy/paste.
probably a moderately skilled SQL admin can get all the data extracted with a few queries.
I was thinking of attempting to create an app that would back it up and restore or export. perhaps it could work with any db on the device.

Okay,, I uninstalled something called inputmethod.Latin-20(and a bunch of numbers or what not after) and it totally messed up my swype keyboard (continuously force closes). Can't for the life of me figure out how to restore it, can anyone please help? I know that titanium backup on sd has a zip of it and a properties (?) file of it, but can't find it in the list on the titanium app to restore it... Please help!!!

In your titanium folder, there is a long name apk file. You find the file that include your file name (removed). Rename it same as original and use root explorer copy back to /system/app.

Unfortunately I did download that package but it seems its not helping at all! Thanks though... I guess it may have been worth mentioning that my gmail app does the same thing... Like the keyboard, I can open it and see my mail, but once I try opening an email, force close (?!)... I also remember I removed system apps that were spelled in the com.inputmethod.Latin-20(and a bunch of characters), because they looked like leftovers of system apps I no longer needed, now my dilemma is so huge that I just NEED to restore that functionality to my phone! Any suggestions??

which one you've downloaded?? xRecovery .zip file or System app .zip file?
you should download 2nd one....there you can find all the stock applications...just push the required missing application by ADB cmd or you can use mRush mode tool. which is very easier......
Am I gonna need my pc?? I have ADB, but was hoping I can fix it now. Im ready to reflash if necessary, but in doing this, am I safe if everything is backed up from before the problem with titanium? And if I have to do that, would it not make more sense to go for a 2.2 aosp like freex10 beta4 (or is there something better out yet)? Thanks!
Is there any site or source on the web that provides downloads of old versions of Android Market apps? This would be for apps that are now updated or no longer available on the Market? I am looking for a site similar to "OldVersion.com" which has some old/classic PC software (but this would be something for android apps instead)?
Thanks if anyone knows of a source or sites.
CustomShortcut gone?
The app that I am looking for in the above post was a free one called CustomShortcut APK. I now have it on one of my two phones (the other phone had it but was lost and replaced). I have tried looking for a developer page for this app but no luck as everything seems to point back to android market as the source link for download.
Does anyone know of a way or source for me to get this APK back on my other phone? Is there a way to copy it from one phone to the other? I am assuming that it was removed from the market because it may not be compatible with ICS but I am not running ICS. The application was made by appli.club.
Are you rooted? If so use root explorer to look for the .apk in the /system/app folder and copy or email it to the other phone and install it.

No sadly I am not rooted. Is that how this could be done? I have an HTC phone (Sensation) and I like my "sense" gui. Don't want to wipe it out by rooting (that is what would happen, right?) If access to the apk is possible with rooting, then I guess my question would be, does anyone else here have CustomCut on their rooted phone? (Or possibly know of any website that would have those apk's available for download). I would be willing to pay if someone would take the time to send me a replacement copy.
just google for any app you want like this:
"title" "versionnumber" "apk" "download"
for example:
android market 2.9 apk download

Rooting will not wipe out your phone or change it other than giving you super user privileges. That way you will have access to get to the system apps folder.
I notice apktop keeps old versions around. But part of the reason I like Titanium backup is because I have a fail safe if a new update to an app is bad, as I can just restore from the last backup the older version.

Well I am not really too concerned about it wiping out my phone, but I thought I had read many posts here talking about once you root your phone the native skin from the manufacturer is eliminated (for HTC that would be the "Sense" user interface). Can you please confirm? Is this not true? HTC Sense will remain exactly the same after rooting my phone?
The other thing that has made me cautious is that my phone runs perfectly now and I see so many threads on the xda boards here and over at various android forums that start off with "My ____ app is not working right since I rooted...." Just a little daunting for a newbie like myself.

Thanks very much for the site suggestion. I have been trying to search for the CustomShortcut APK over there but no luck ...so far (the site search is not that easy to use). I have even tried to seach the site externally using google but, unfortunately, still no luck.
Wait for someone else to confirm on the htc, but nothing changed on my droidx. I just had superuser privs. All of the "this app quit working" is when people flash custom roms. You don't do that when you just root. But you have to be rooted in order to do things like that. Lol.
Rooting gives you the power to do that if you want to.
When I rooted my droidx, I did it just so I could have the power to do other things if I wanted. I am still on factory rom. But I am able to get to parts of the phone that are off limits if I wasnt rooted. I made it where I could tether, later I got rid of bloatware, etc.

Thanks once again for the reply. Now that you mention it, I remember reading the terminology "flashed" rom and thought they were similar or the same thing as rooting. One other question, once a phone is in a rooted state, if I was to go in and copy the APK for my replacement phone and put it on there could I then "unroot" lol ...sorry if this is not a word... so that my phone was no longer open? I had read somewhere (perhaps I heard it on a TWIT or Android podcast) that when your phone is in root state that anyone (ie: potentially bad software) has easier access to your phone's vunerable areas.

yes you can unroot. As for easy access after you are rooted to vulnerable areas, they can only get access if you let them. If an app wants super user privileges, you will get a pop up from su(the super user apk) telling you that some app is wanting privileges. You can grant or deny access. The only things on my phone that have ever given me a pop up are things that i downloaded and know need su access. Wifi tether, root explorer, adfree, etc.
I have found a site that keeps older version of an android app. It's called Android Drawer.
Hope it helps
Hi all,
While removing bloatware from my Galaxy Tab (after restoring back from CM9), I accidentally removed the pen memo and pen memo floating app using Titanium Backup. As someone recently got me a stylus for my birthday (and having disdained them for a long time), I'm curious to see if these work well after all. Can anyone upload the APKs for these two programs (the main app alone would be fine as well)? Greatly appreciated, thanks!
P.S. : I don't know if I'm missing something really obvious, but the first thing I tried was to pull the APKs out of the .img file I flashed to restore the device to stock, and I'm having no luck whatsoever opening it through Windows, Mac OS X, or Ubuntu. Anyone know the way of doing this so I don't have to bother everyone about the matter? Thanks!

Amm.. can you make yourself clear? You are on Stock HC3.2 and dont have stock apps? u should have when u say u re flashed to stock.
If u havent got stock ROMs get it from here if u have GT-P7510 or here if u have GT-P7500. you have to flash using your PC with Odin3-v1.85 and putting your tab in download mode.
Hey,
I did have the stock apps to begin with, but if you look at my post you'll see I was removing unnecessary applications via Titanium Backup. Usually I don't use the pen memo applications, so I removed it without thinking too much about it (and didn't realize it until later, after I'd set up the device). It's not a critical loss, but I would appreciate it if anyone had the APK handy.
I would also like to have this apk. I'm on AOSP JB ALPHA and this apk it really great. Also if someone has Accuweather apk from stock rom....
I have always kept the Google Search widget on my homescreen. I have a son who is curious about everything, so I'm often searching things, and I used to touch the mic button to play a song from Google music or dictate a text.
I've had a lot of trouble with my Vibrant lately and have finally gotten FishmanMod Blue 2.2 Frankenstein Slim to work for me. However, I have lost the search widget. When I try to add it from my widget list, all I get is an empty box that says and does absolutely nothing.
I went to Google Play and it said that Search isn't compatible with my device. (The photos looked like Google Now...)
I have tried searching the forums, and came across an .apk that I tried. I moved it from my downloads folder using Root Explorer into the /system/apps folder and rebooted.
Still the same result.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks for reading!
when you found the widget and moved it in ROOT did you change the permissions then reboot or just moved the file and reboot ?

I changed the permissions. Basically what I did was looked up the thread where Woodrube said how to install GTalk as a system app. I copied those instructions in order to move this .apk. The permissions I set are:
Owner: Read, Write, Execute
Group: Read
Others: Read
None of the special permissions are ticked.
you dont need execute bro just check read on owner/group/others and check write for owner reboot and check again also you made sure you deleted the other one that was kinda there but not working ??

Reset the permissions as you suggested. I looked for anything else with "google" and "search" in it and found nothing besides what I knew I had moved there. Rebooted, same results. I only see "search" in my widget list and it is still an empty box.
Okay, looks like I'm just completely missing the Google Search apk. I installed a 3rd party widget from the Play Store, and touching the mic activates the voice search (because I have it installed) but tapping anywhere else on the search box does absolutely nothing.
I need to look for the Google Search app itself. Any ideas on how to get it? I can't find it at all on Play store. I need it for 2.2.
im so sorry mama excuse my stupidity and do you have any other 2.2 roms ? you can open up the rom on your phone or computer and open the system folder and look for the google search apk are you familiar n doing that again my apologies

No problem. Please don't apologize. I fully realize and accept that I'm totally in the minority here. No big deal at all. Just struck me as funny.
That's a really good idea. I'll try that. I've got the voice search shortcut on my homescreen, and I can use that. I just dislike change.
Hopefully all this will cease to be an issue when I get my new phone. The Hubs (DigitalMonk) thinks I should wait for the new Nexus to come out on Tmo. I'm not at all sure I don't just want to stick with what I know and go with the SGSIII.
I feel you honestly I love the nexus but I always feel like those phone are never giving enough power etc for they to be top dollar phones and the last 2 had problems with the bootloader and recovery being wiped and volume /power buttons becoming disabled ill stick with what you know samsung phone might be plasticy but there solid IMO but if you was to get the new.phone its like trying to keep up with buying jordan lol stick to something you like not because its new but because its easier for you

Okay first I need to know what Android version you are running. If you are running 2.x, you can only use the old Google SearchBar Widget version 1.x. Do not try installing Google Now to Android 2.x because it is incompatible. You can extract the Google SearchBar Widget from gingerbread "gapps.zip" files: http://goo.im/gapps
If you are running ICS roms and want to use Google Now, there are modded version to make it working.
If you are using Jelly Bean roms, then you should be able to install Google Now from the Market.
If you are installing Google Now to Jelly Bean by manually moving the apk file to /system/app, the app needs a lib file called "libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so". However, the name of this file can change depends on the version you are using. This file is located in the \lib\armeabi-v7a\ folder within the apk file itself, it needs to be extracted and moved to the \system\lib\ folder. If you install the apk using conventional method, it will automatically extract this lib file to the necessary location, so you wouldn't have to worry about all this.
It's not recommended do this manually, but by either flashing the patch, or installing it from the Play Store.
Here is the patch for ICS roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835199
The patch for Jelly Bean roms is located at SlimRoms website in the addons section.
I remember having this issue since ICS and on multiple devices running different ROMs.
What gives? I know the solution is to clear out the Download history and it still works. Just annoying that I have to do that... Does Google know about this issue??
You can also try using a browser like Opera, that helps me. But yeah it really is annoying it also happens to me both on GB and ICS

To be able to download certain files, you must first have an application that can run the file. If you don't have the ablity to run the file it will refuse to download, giving the download unsuccessful message.
What you say may be true. But the files I download are definitely openable. Yet they still don't download successfully until after multiple attempts or clearing the cache.

Hello everyone -- First post
I don't know if this will help, but i tell you what i experienced yesterday. I have both a HP Touchpad 32GB Wifi only and a Samsung Fascinate. I have the problem with both of them for months now. I can install anything i want from Google Play, but can not down load any other files, both from emails and websites. I can write to it with Window XP Pro machine.
Two days ago i was messing around with my Touchpad dual boot WebOS/CM7 and wreck it. Wouldn't reboot, couldn't run WebOS doctor on it or any thing. I thought it was bricked. Then i ran across a forum how to delete the volume manually and recreate them. Then install back to factory original.
Last night i got it back to 3.0.5 and installed CM9 tenderloin nightly 20121028 dual boot. First think i did was go to a website to down load a PDF file to see if this fix my download problem. File downloaded, i tried opening it, said no file associate. Jump into Google Market , installed reader, open the file, no problem. I started checking with ROM Manager for any nightly updates. There was one and i started downloading it, and moved on to installing Titanium Backup plus Root. Few minutes after dubbing around, checking CM9.I noticed that it had a download error. SO i jumped on to another website to download another file. Immediately <Untitled> Download Unsuccessful. Here we go again. Switch over to Google Market, Titanium Backup plus Root finished installing.
I remove it and root. Check to see if it fixed the problem. NOPE! still no downloading. This morning at work during break, I wiped CM9 out with ACMEUnistaller, and started over. Same install as before. No problem downloading any files so far, but i have not reinstalled Titanium Backup plus Root. I will install it tonight just to be sure and redo my Samsung Fascinate to see if i can reproduces the same results there with CM10.
Can someone else that is having the same problem confirm with their system and see if they get same result?
Not so
Sorry guys, I just reinstalled Titanium Backup plus and can not repeat it. I'll keep checking with everything that I install and any settings I change

Its not just my touchpad that is having the same issue. My Samsung fascinate have the issue and it has CM10 nightly. I've search many forum site for this problem. There are many other that are having the issue with all different devices and ROM's. I
I'm currently trying to repeat on touchpad because if i mess this unit up it won't be a big deal for me. I have got it down 25 minutes or ever less removing the CM and reload it. Not so fast for me on the Samsung. So far unsuccessful repeating it. Going to try repairing Fascinate and on it.
You think this should be moved to another thread? If so please let me know.
Thanks in advance
FYI, if you change the name of the original Download folder to, say Download_old, then try the download again, it will create a new folder and download to that one. weirdly, the folder permissions are exactly the same for both folders after (rwxrwxr-x)
