[Q] calendar disappeared from app list - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
So as the title says, the thing went like:
- I use checkrom revolution from some time now (currently at v4)
- I tried ICS remix rom from westcrip I think it was v7.3 no-wipe. I did't do a backup, this was my mistake
- As it was not as good for a daily use, I reflashed checkrom
- The shortcut to calendar had changed to something like "app not installed", when I go to add shortcut, calendar doesn't appear in the list
There is a Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk in system/app, if I run it, it launchs an installer but at the end it says "Application not installed"
I know there are lots of calendar apps in market but I liked the default, so I'd like to know if there is a way to get it back :s
Any help will be appreciated

You don't run .apk files in /system/app. If the files are already there, they should be in your app list. If they're NOT in your app list, reboot. If they're still not in your app list, factory reset/data wipe. If they're STILL not in your app list, reflash checkrom.
EDIT: How are you adding the shortcut? Long press on the homescreen, or long press on the icon in your app drawer? Does the calendar show up at all in your app drawer?

Factory reset>flash stock again. BACK UP!!!>flash whichever ROM you like.
Saying "I didn't backup, my mistake" is a pathetic and lame excuse.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

It isn't in my app drawer either, I forgot to mention it in the OP, I was doing long press on homescreen. I've rebooted and reflashed checkrom, I was hoping for an option that didn't involve wipe/reset
And when I said I didn't backup was not meant as an excuse, just more information, in case someone asked if I did it / suggested to recover from backup

Wait - are you trying to flash back from ICS to a GB based ROM withOUT wiping? Yeah, as far as I know, that'll never work. You will HAVE to wipe.
EDIT: To be honest, I'm kind of surprised you're not seeing more problems and issues with your phone, if you DIDN'T wipe going from ICS back to GB.

That's right, I flashed back to GB from ICS with just cache/dalvik wipe and everything works fine, the calendar gone is the only problem I have.
Thanks for the answers, I guess I'd have to go with the wipe.

[Q] Power control widget question?

A simple question, but I just can't seem to find the answer. I put the power control widget on my home screen. Now, how do I get back to its menu so I can add/remove functions? I tried throwing it out and then putting it back, but it just comes back up with the same 5 functions. Is there a way to clear the default? Thanks.
I am curious what the answer to that question is as well.
I don't think you can choose what you want in 2.1. (You can do it in 2.2)They just come in a set.
Correct me if I was wrong.
I went back and checked out my rooted MYT3G, I think you are right. Unless someone has figured out how to put the 2.2 power widget into a 2.1 rom. I think that would be pretty awesome. I miss that functionality on my Vibrant.
I think Power Widget is "Settings.apk" So try installing that. I know that GenieWidget and GoogleVoice work fine....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731625
download from the thread or try getting the apk from CM6 ADDON (thats what i did)
Sweet, going to check that out now.

trying what ? to install settings.apk ?
^ dropping it in system/app caused constant reboots.
I had to boot into stock recovery, then go into clockwork and finally restore a nandroid.
I would be careful using the linked post above. I have already replaced some stock apps from cyanogen, this is the first that gave me any issue.

U always have to be carefull
I havent tried settings.apk, but I would just install it using file manager. Thats how I got clock, geniewidget, and google voice working. Used files from cm.
^ The power widget is a system app, you don't install, you just drop it in system/app. The News/Weather and Google Voice are just apps...
I renamed the original Settings.apk and Settings.odex and then dropped the new Settings.apk from a Cyanogen rom in to /system/app/.
No go, I ended up having to restore the original files back.
Oh well, I tried.
there's a power widget in the market (non-free) that has the same look as the standard power widget, but has more options and lets you customize it. i haven't used it, but it sounds like it would work for ya.
i just looked it up -- it's called 'Power Widget by BK Mobility'.
Thanks, I actually found that app this morning after I made the post here. Am liking it. It works very well.

[Q] Accidentally uninstalled stock clock application

So.
Being a new android user, I messed around with my phone without a full understanding of what would happen if i uninstalled a core application. I assumed incorrectly that Titanium Backup would allow me to reinstall applications, and then uninstalled the stock clock application thinking that it was one of the many clock widgets.
Could someone upload their stock Clock application apk here, or advise me as to how I can restore the stock clock (preferably without having to flash the original ROM)?

Here. I backup all of the apk that I want to remove. Hope this is what you want.
Is this the stock clock application, like the one used for alarms and such?
EDIT: I attempted to install ClockPackage.apk anyway by using Root explorer, and then moving the apk to /system/app and installing it from there, but it says 'Application not installed.' Am I doing something wrong?

This is for clock, alarm, stopwatch etc. Put the apk on the root of your sd card and install from there. Don have to move it to system/app.

LOL YOU DID THE SAME THING AS ME. (except no one bothered to reply to my cries for help and I had to figure out everything myself)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070083
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.
Mmmm, same here but I lost the weather widget due to samsung app update. Any one!

Did you add the odex file as explained above?
Yes i followed the guide as described. I have the odex and apk in system/apps folder. Funny, another clock widget im using is showing my next alarm.. but no alarmclock..
Followed the guide above, apk and odex showing in app system/app but still not available anywhere on the phone.
Anyone recommend a third party clockpackage from the market?
Used sgstools to kill my clock so used it to reinstall it to.
added a extra script,
echo "this will reverse the klok hack"
busybox cp -f /sdcard/sgstools/ClockPackage.apk /system/app/
(you might have to remove it fist if you have been messing around to get it working again)
I did the what the above guide said and could not find the app in the application menu. Help!
will reloading the stock firmware fix this issue?

I did the same thing, but when i restart my phone, the clock in not in the app drawer, when i go to TB, it is there, but with a line through it and it won't restore, all attempts to install the apk is failing too... what can i do?
The link for the odex file is down. Also, I'm trying to get this app working on CM7. Is that doable? I love CM, but a couple of the samsung apps are miles beyond what comes with Cyanogenmod - namely the clock, and the camera. I understand I can't swap the camera app, having looked into it, and I'm ok with that. The clock, however... I gotta have my samsung clock back!
Parse Error
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?
Contacts app backup please help
hi, I recently updated my sgs2 i9100p (NFS) to ics via kies. Its orange but I unlocked now 4.0.3 with baseband ver i9100PBVLP6. an orange bloatware called 'contact backup' irritated me so I decided to uninstall it with Titanium backup. but in a hurry I uninstalled stock contact app. now there is no contact and in every 5-10 second phone freezes and error msg comes-' unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped'. Please help.
AnalogClock.apk + ClockPackage.apk seem to work together.
I used SystemApp Remover to disable ClockPackage.apk, (thought it was a bunch of unnecessary Clock widgets), but stock Clocks package stopped working. I tried enabling it, copying ClockPackage.apk, and still could not. SuperSU logs indicated that all operations succeded normally, but it simply would not work.
I thought, maybe it messed up with program data, permissions, etc., so I removed/deleted both, restarted, then simply copied .apk file for both back. Only then it worked.

There are applications that access data, and there are applications that provide that data. For example, for contacts, you could have many applications that use it (Email, Messenger, Call Logs, etc), and one application that provides it. In case if you accidentally delete data provider (in your case contacts), and if that data provider is essential to running your phone, you will ruin your phone. You might be able to restore it, but I would recommend using Odin to flash correct official firmware. Search in forum "i9100 Android Development".

U are right. I think I uninstalled contact provider, the main contact app. I tried to find solution for all day but coudn't. Tried to flash original stock rom which I have downloaded (i9001PBVLP6) but odin didn't detect my phone in downloading mode. I had to make my phone work anyhow so I flashed Wanamlite 11 with cwm which is ok but not fully functioned on my nfc version sgs2 (now I know the importance of back-up). Now I want my original stock rom back. tried with cwm but didnt work, Odin doesnt detect my phone. any help regarding flashing this stock rom, please?

Mark, there is a way to wipe and start over.
Go to settings/repair and formatting...you can reset android which will just kind of reset everything back to new but won't delete anything. Or you can do a "full re initialization" (thats what they call it) and that will wipe everything. It will be like it just came out of the box.

can't install widgets after upgrading to KG3

I upgraded the device from KG2 which was rooted to KG3 non wipe version from Intratech and I noticed I am unable to install widgets or edit them. Rather I would say I do not get the option when I tap on the screen.
What could be the issue ?
Any HELP on this will be much appreciated.

[Q] Resurrection 1.0 issue

Hi there,
I can post a question on the thread for this particular ROM so hopefully someone cleverer than me is watching this forum.
I have installed the resurrection ICS Remix 1.0 ROM on my S2 and it all worked perfectly....restored all my apps etc....and then realised that internet wont work and messaging wont work either. These are the only two apps I have found that wont currently work.
When I open up messaging after a few seconds the screen goes black and then 20 seconds or so later it says "unfortunately messaging has stopped" its a similar story with the browser.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it. This ROM looks awesome but I cant live without messaging and internet obviously.
Thanks in advance
Wipe/factory reset. If not, do a clean install of rom (do not restore apps/data; particularly system apps).
its the restore thing
I think your probably right............I did restore my messages and I think I pressed app + data.......I dont think I did anything to the browser though.
