I was being stupid messing around in the /system/app folder and I deleted the default clock/weather widget that comes preinstalled! Anyone know how I can get it back without me having to reflash my rom? I have the .apk and .odex files on my storage but I can't reinstall it with any apps from the market? I SHOULD HAVE MADE A BACKUP BEFOREHAND!

Buy Root Explorer from the market, copy the files back into /system/app. Change permissions back to match other files in that directory (should be rw-r-r) and restart your phone. If you are Unlocked w/ HTC, rooted, and have a custom recovery you could always flash THE EXACT SAME ROM directly over the top without wiping Data. I would still wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache to be safe, and this will revert any other changes you've made to the ROM but it should be pretty simple to do.

If you are going to mess around in the Read Only parts of the phone this is the only smart thing to do.

Hi, I'm a new root user, and I was trying to get LiveWallpapers to work on my rooted Droid Eris. I flashed the .zip file and the package apparently came with the Nexus Lockscreen also. I later discovered that LiveWallpapers just won't work on a Sense ROM, but I'd like to revert back to the Sense Lockscreen if possible. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

did you do a nandroid backup before flashing the .zip file? this is a must must must lol if you didnt the easiest way is to boot to recovery wipe data and dalvik and reflash and and make sure to do a backup. and what sense ROM are you using that doesnt support lwp

You can also pull HtcLockScreen.apk out of your rom's zip file and push it to /system/app/
Will this just revert back to original factory settings?
Oh, I guess i used the Stock Android 2.1 w/ Root Access.
Perhaps I should just load different ROM.
I found the HtcLockScreen.apk in the zip file, and threw it on my SD card, but i'm not sure what to do now. I tried using eoeAppInstaller but it said Install not successful. Not sure I quite understand what you mean by pushing the file to /system/app/

no need to put it on your sd card its useless there if im correct and if anyone more professional than me can verify you need to use command promt to run the adb app in your android sdk file and if thats the case search the threads for adb to answer your question
try here there are several that are based on sense and will let u set livewallpaper and have the slide lock that you seek just read up on them
Anyone mind posting this file? I accidentally deleted it and cannot run HDMI mirroring without it.
Prefer stock.

Not 100% sure if this is what you're looking for...
But anyway, here is the stock MirrorService.apk and MirrorService.odex file from /system/app folder on OS 2.3.4.
Download link --> http://db.tt/IcCMNCly
Its NOT a flash able zip!! Make sure to extract it and then move both files to /system/app folder and change permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644) then at least reboot! Wipe cache and dalvik cache if possible too!

I had better be stock, because I changed mine (on purpose to a droid4's mirror.apk -- don't ask) and it went into bootloop that even the Sprint store could not fix.
And because it was a locked bootloader 2.3.5 - they couldn't fix it at all, Sprint gave me a new phone. YMMV.
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 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
[ROM][Modems] Custom Canadian Jelly Bean - Rooted & Deodexed. A similar thread exists for ATT. Then I restore additional apps via titanium backup or my apps in play store.

here is stock clock.apk and odex file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8psbgzybq5y3ze0/ClockPackage.apk ___ https://www.dropbox.com/s/0c0u7eoyyph22c3/ClockPackage.odex. download and move to system/app and make sure permisions are set properly then reboot. if you are running a stock deodexed rom you will need to remove clock package from that rom instead.
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 im accidentally delete bluid.prop file from system folder
Im on stock jelly beam lg AT&T rom oficial and rooted.
Thats all i have done
This is how it happend
Well I was trying to edit something there with root explorer and then I have two files with that name but one says .bak and I delete the one that doesn't says .bak and only have one know.
After I do it I try to open the one I left and it doesn't open. Them I realize I did a really stupid thing. I search and nobody is talking about it on this forum. The ones who talk about it was an old phones.
My phone is working cuz I didn't shut it down but I know that when I reboot it I will be **** up.
Pliz anybody knows what to do?
The only idea that I have is to do a factory reset may be it reinstall it or something. But I prefer to ask first here to see if one of you (the prooos) know something not like me an idiot who make a big mistake.
I'm sorry
Thanks in advance

I still have the file build.prop.bak
It wasn't opening but I select the option open with and select text viewer and it open and it was like the build.prop file
So I rename the file build.prop.bak to build.prop and I think now its ok I guess but I'm still worried
Did I solve my problem or not?
I'm scared to reboot it

You should be fine. Worst case scenario just reflash the ROM without wiping data and it will restore the whole system partition including the build.prop. just make sure you always have a copy of the ROM you are currently running on your SD card.

But I don't have a copy of my Rom cuz I'm stock I'm only rooted nothing more (I'm not unlocked bootloader and anything just root)
What should I do? Factory reset going to setting--> general--> backup and restore --> factory reset.
Or what I did of rename the file solve the problem?

Renaming the backup file to build.prop should be fine. Check the permissions it should be rw-r--r. If all is good you should be fine to reboot/shutdown. LGNPST can always recover your phone as long as it can at least be turned on. Like I said you should be fine but there is always options.

Ok thank you
The permissions are like this= rw-r--r--. How I change it to the way you said.
Rw-r--r-- is the same as rw-r--r?

The remaining 1 is build.prop.bak? If yes then just remove the .bak, and you can open it now with texteditor, check permission make sure it is RW-R--R--, owner is root, then you should be good.
