Hi everybody,
I accidently deleted both the apk and odex from/system/app while trying to get rid of that annoying shutter noise. For the first time in my life i haven't backed up the file (or have a cwm backup) anybody be able to lend me a hand in getting the app back and running? Is it even possible with the TW framework thingy?
Cheers in advance
edit: oh and I'm on stock rom (and rooted)
Get a custom Samsung base ROM and get the file

thanks for the quick reply, I tried putting the files back into the app folder and anytime i run the camera app from homescreen/app drawer, the screen appears to rotate( as when the app normally loads) and then crashes. any help anyone?
Flash the same stock ROM back without wiping.
thanked everybody it's sorted. tried flashing stock yesterday but kept getting FCs in camera, so didnt think it'd work this time (i used the same rom and everything) oh well it works thats the main thing.
cheers again

As the previous poster said, you can just download another browser app from the market. Your phone does not depend on the browser app for a data connection. If for some reason you can't do that:
Check the I9k forums and find a CWM flashable, stock ROM. Download it, use 7zip or winrar (or any other windows archive program- google search 7zip, its free to download) and open the ROM file. Go to: system/app. Find browser.apk and extract it to your desktop. Use adb to install it: adb push /system/app/browser.apk and you should be all set.
thanks for that did kinda help...is there anyway i can just remove everything on the phone and re install everything....kinda like re-booting with all the preloaded samsung apps...regardless if i deleted some or not?

No, not really. You would need to reflash the stock system image. Factory resets just wipe user settings, app data, and other stuff like that. It won't restore anything. If you want to do a reinstall, look into using Odin to flash back to stock. Just BE CAREFUL. Odin can brick you if you don't know what you're doing. Better off following the steps I outlined, or installing CWM and flashing a stock ROM. Again, the safest way to do what you want is what I previously posted.
if i updated through kies not a month or 2 ago and im using an australian SGS GT I9K 16BG with optus what would i be running (eg...gingerbread, Eclair, Kernal, Froyo)?
just get an market apk file n install

Glad to hear that.
This same thing happend too me today, I was trying to install a mod for the samsungcamera.apk and i copied a back up of the camera.apk and went to install the modded one but it wont let me..so i said screw it ill go back to the stock one..and when i click on it too install it says application not installed.
Soo..in other words im SOL but ill have a look around and see where i can find a resolution. The problem isnt that i dont have the stock camera.apk cuz i do have a back up its just it refuses too install now... ughhh Lol
***UPDATE***
I could not install the samsungcamera.apk stock & the modded one.
I tried everything possible..flashing it through cwm as a .zip file & had signature verification turned off
even tried copying and pasting manually..
What I just resorted to just installing camera360 from the playstore..
this solved my issue of not having a camera at all.
Remember i tried re-installing the original camera.apk that i backed up and for some
reason it wouldnt let me install it. Dunno if it had to do with permissions or just because its a system app.
But im glad i have camera360 i have alot of new features and filters Go filters!! haha
still if anyone has a resolution to installing the apk let us now im desperate!!!
U can't install system apps. U have to use something like root explorer, put it in system/apps folder, fix the apk permissions and reboot

ICS camera apk
I am trying to install the ICS camera with the Silly faces "big eyes" and "Big Mouth" my kids love it
I am running the latest Padawan 4.2jb on my Galaxy Note1.
Does anyone know if i can run ICS camera with these background live video effects on my ROM? thanks.
Hi,
I've been stupid and in order to clean up both the in-built and external memory (I've taken efs backups and the like) formatted both the and then flashed the appropriate rom and kernel. However, I've now missing GTalk and I can't seem to find it in the Play Store or an obvious/easy way to get it back. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Resolved, opened up a Sammy based rom and was able to find the Talk apk there.
u need the gtalk were its og placed in sgs2 right ,flash the stock rom ,or the other way is revert one step back of stock rom and update via kies....hope u got it..
I deleted my the Phone.apk file on my rooted Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1CWY/XAA) running the stock rom awhile back to save on battery life.
I have done the same thing on my Nook Color, and figured that it wouldn't cause any problems, as the Player isnt a phone.
Recently tried to record some video, and found I was unable to do so. After doing some research I found out that deleting phone.apk causes the stock camera app, but not 3rd party camera apps, to stop functioning.
While I was sure to backup the file when I originally deleted the file, the backup has been lost in the intervening months.
Do I just need to find a specific phone.apk file for my device and return it to the correct directory?
I assume a factory reset will solve the problem, but I would rather not try that unless I have to.
Thanks!
a factory reset will not solve the problem, since it was a system .apk it will reset everything except for that particular apk.

In which case do I need to track down a copy of that specific apk or will I need to download odin and perform a full recovery?
put back the phone.apk file back on your device. Go to a ROM(best if its that ROM you are using) Find the phone.apk, and take it out. Then transfer it into your device, and use Root Explorer or something and put back phone.apk.
i dont think that will work because i uninstalled the screencapture.apk from my 5.0 and i backed it up so i tried to reinstal and it would not let me... but try aznflawless' way first if not you may want to flash a stock based rom...

This seemed to work for me!
I tried looking in various roms before, but they were all formatted for flashing with odin.
I should have just went straight for the cwm package. *slaps forehead*
Thanks so much!
i shall try that sir thanks
As others said... find the phone.apk... preferably from the same rom you are using... use RootExplorer and copy the phone.apk to the system/apps folder. Change the permissions to match the other apps in that folder... reboot and you are good to go.
For your future reference, it is not a good idea to delete system apps without knowing what they actually do... I think you made a real good guess since phone.apk should not be on a device that is actually not a phone by function. For example, the Android Market app is actually called phonesky.apk or vendor.apk... nothing like what you would normally guess it to be, such as market.apk or something to that matter. So if I were you and I wanted to keep using my device and not brick it, I would becareful what I delete out of /system and it's sub folders...
Good luck...
Try to reinstall your custom rom!!

this is a thread from august of 2012. please dont go digging through old threads and posting on them
I use quickpic so I deleted the Gallery and didnt back it up. :crying:
I backed up lots of stuff but I "knew" I wouldn't need this, well little did I know it's a package deal
Anywhere to get this, rather not wipe/flash the ROM on again as I just did Alpha 7 from FJ ROM yesterday from Alpha 5.
Thanks very much

Just extract it from your ROMs zip file and put it in /system/app then change permissions to rw-r--r-- (644 I think) and reboot.
I cold send you mine, but I'm on ParanoidAndroid and I'm not sure if the app is the same. It will be Gallery.apk or Gallery2.apk depending on your ROM.
Just reflash your rom zip file. It won't do anything but replace the deleted stuff.
For future experiments, use Titanium Backup and freeze any app to see what else that app affects.
