Hey, as I uninstalled some bloatware on my phone with systemappremover I accidentally uninstalled phone.apk from system apps.
Now whenever I try to open the dialer it force close.
Also I receive No Service!
Help is appreciated
Which ROM/Android do you have?
You can exract the file Phone.apk somewhere, according to your ROM and/or Android version, then install it via ADB from your PC with this command:
Code:
adb install Phone.apk
Search the forum for details.

How about backing up your apps with titanium backup and flashing a new ROM?
PS Titanium Backup allows you to "freeze" apps. If you uninstall the app it is gone forever. (as you discovered) When you freeze an app it is gone as far as Android is concerned. However, if you realize that your phone need the app to function properly, you just unfreeze/defrost it.
Just ask for phone.apk in this thread. And by root explorer, copy and paste to system/app and change permissions like this:
I will try to upload phone.apk from cm 7. You can try it.
Can't upload it via phone. Sorry. If your problem is still there, wait for someone to upload it.

Alright guys thanks for the help, now I understand what to do but I need a phone.apk file please.
I used openoptimusbuild rom and Franco v14 kernel
If anyone have LG optimus one repository it would be great
I would just back up my apps and reflash the ROM

Hi I was thinking of buying titanium backup pro but I was thinking.. don't you lose it once you flash a new rom?

No you just download it again from the market after you log into gmail

Thanks but how exactly? Because I flashed yesterday, logged back into my gmail. And no apparently were in downloads

Search for Titanium, and redownload. You can always redownload purchased apps after flashing or even uninstalling them, as long as you're signed in with the same Google account. You can also make an update.zip file within Titanium that will let you flash it back in to make restores quicker when you flash a new ROM.
Or you can do what i do which is anything that I purchase, make sure you save the .apk file not only on your phone but back it up to your desktop. That way you can reinstall Titanium immediately after flashing your new rom.
Okay thanks guys, but im kinda a noon soon how might I make the update.zip or save the apk to.my desktop if titanium the app itself is saved to the phone not the sd card?

If you have a rom saved to your desktop that already has Titanium then all you have to do is unzip and find the apk in there. I think its usually under /system/apps and /data/apps. Or...
You can use ADB. If you know the name of your app, this is the command:
adb pull system/app/titanium.apk c:\dir
Or to get a list of apps installed to phone:
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app
ls
list the apps installed to the sd card:
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd data/app
ls
Titanium is different than any other paid app (at least this is how it used to work when I bought it.)
When I bought it, the author provided a text file that you placed in the root of you SD card that unlocked the pro version. That way, I just have to make sure that file's in my root dir and I can just download the free one from the Market (or install the APK) whenever I change ROMs. I don't have to worry about the potential that the Pro version doesn't show in the Market.
Does it not work like that anymore?
That version still exists, but you can also now buy it in the market.

That's good. I'd encourage anyone to use that method of purchase, if still possible.
That way, you're automatically upgraded to the Pro version, even if a dev provides the free one in a ROM, by installing from a backup APK, or just downloading the free one from the Market.
Noobish concern, really. And I couldn't make heads or tails from similarly-named threads.
So what I did is I copied some system apps to a folder on my sd. Thereafter I deleted both apk and odex files from the system/app folder hoping that copying them back will be just as easy.
Earlier today I tried copying the MoviePlayer apk and odex back. While it did copy, no amount of rebooting or cache clearing made it return to my apps list. I tried installing it by just running the apk from the sd but it had a permission issue.
Help on this? I might have other system apps to restore later like the music and messaging apps.
Next time you back up an app, use titanium backup. As for restoring it, you may have to download root explorer. Launch it then navigate to /system/app/ then click mount as r/w then paste the .apk & .odex files.

Titanium may back up a system app, but when you remove it, you can't restore it. God knows, I tried. Instead of the smiley it's just a check and there's no option to restore. Unless I'm doing something wrong here.
I already tried copying the. apk/.odex back in r/w mode using root explorer. That's the first thing I did.
Luckily I did the same thing like you before. You may have to download and flash (SAPPS.zip) or (Custom ROM)- this one I did.

Also, forget stock movie & music player, just use Doubletwist. It's a music and video player with an awesome UI.

I'll try SAPPS. Actually, maybe it's time for me to try a custom rom. de/void has been catching my attention recently.
The only reason why I started with the stock movie player is because I know that's expendable... just wanted to know how hard/easy it would be to put stock apps back.
And yes, I'll give doubletwist a try. Thanks!

My phone's unlocked/rooted.
Stupidly, to free up some space in Dropbox, I deleted some Titanium Backups and at some point, while moving files around, I deleted BlurCamera.apk while in Titanium Backup - basically unistalled it instead of freezing it... and guess what, no backup to restore from.
I'm stock and use other apps for video recording / picture taking but would like to revert back. I've tried a few different scenarios and after rebooting each time - no luck.
In layman's terms, what else can I do try. I've already downloaded the stock .apk and .odex files but so far, nada.
Any help, greatly appreciated.
First of all, please do not double post. I noticed you had started another thread in the "General" sub-forum.
Anyways, if you have Root Explorer (or any other root file manager) you can just move the apk and odex files to /system/app, set the permissions (rw-r--r--), and reboot. See if that works.

Sorry about that. That method failed. Seems that by uninstalling the app through TB and not freezing it, something else is going on.

What recovery are you using? Have you tried "Fixing permissions" and "Wipe Cache/Dalvik" after moving the files into the appropriate place?

I did a factory reset on my phone yesterday and decided to really clear out a bunch of stuff with titanium that I never use, including widgets. I deleted the stock clock app thinking it was a widget. Does anyone know where I can find that? I'm open to a different app but I'm quite happy with the stock JB clock app.
Thanks!
Did you try doing a reset again?
tell your version and Rom so someone can upload it for you
i717, 4.1.2, stock and rooted
I haven't tried that because some of the bloat I deleted previously (Yahoo, some other stuff) was gone this reset.
also there are 2 other ways to get it back
flash stock Rom and you will lose root
flash custom Rom
also next time i suggest doing a backup via CWM

Factory reset won't replace any deleted files. All it does is delete user data and downloaded apps, and makes all settings to default.
Flashing the same rom on top of your rom will replace missing files and put back all the apps you deleted.
I suggest you use Titanium to freeze any unwanted things, then run a few days like that, then eventually delete the frozen apps.
I am on Telus and when I want to revert back to stock with all the bloat (well not quite all the bloat) I simply flash the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268617

Thanks guys!
The dropbox clock downloads but doesn't install. Permissions are correct.
did you try installing like normal apk or did you place in system/app? should place in system/app. both clock.apk and odex.apk
Like normal? I'm afraid I don't know how to do the second one.
using a file manager that has root access(i use root exploerer but there are lots) move the apks that you downloaded into system/app folder. then long press the file until you get menu to come up and select set permissions. should be rw-r--r--. change if not. then reboot.
Hi to everyone
Yesterday i have installed a custom rom for the first time(pacman rom)But before installing i forgot to backup applications.
Now files belong the applications still exist and occupy space.Since I will install most of those applications already, is there any easy way to reinstall them automatically?Or which files should i delete to get rid of those unnecessery files?
First thing you need is efs Bk up. Have you done this? Titanium Bk up for backing up apps is best app out there. What files are you taking about. Screen shot would help. If its app files when you re add apps it shouldn't make double copys of the files so makes me think there not app files. Screen shot pls :thumbup:

Use SD maid app to delete unnecessary files (corpses)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If the OS version for your custom rom is different to the stock firmware you were on (gb, ics, jb) you need to get rid of those (data) files anyway. If you use them with apps in a different os version it *could* cause instability and app force closures......

Just delete and reinstall the apps you want. Sorry about time of reply :thumbdown:
Just flash a rom wipe/nuke script via recovery.
Did you Bk up your efs folder? Pacman doesn't auto Bk it up. Use hc ktool to do this. Worry about this folder alot. Lose this and you will have lots of problems. Like no calls texs or data.

i just installed a rom and forgot to back up the stock rom completly and i want to go back. how would i do this? My phone is the samsung galaxy s3 thru straight talk (sprint towers)
