I rooted with the stripped down ROM. But i need the stock email app in order to sync my Exchange contacts Where can i get just this apk? Thanks !!
Right. Download my ROM for example and extract Email.apk from zip file. Then copy it using RootExplorer or adb into /system/app on your phone. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot.

Excuse my ignorance, but i can't seem to extract from any of the ROM's ive downloaded (can't find the link to yours if i click the ics one in your signature it just takes me to a long thread with no obvious links). I know how to use adb to get the file onto the phone, but cant figure out how to get it out of the .tar.ext4 file ?
download blazer rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746184
then use 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open the zip.
navigate to system/app and find email.apk
extract it from there (drag and drop it out of the 7zip window to your desktop)
then copy that to your phone ... either use adb to push it to system/app or use root explorer on your phone.
hope that helps
Hi, I realize that your rom says that it's just for Sprint, if I were to download it and take the contacts.apk from it, would that not work on my AT&T galaxy SIII?
I accidentally disabled it and am currently trying to find a way to get it back onto my phone. :'( *I already looked at my settings>applications>all and it's not there. [contact storage is there, but I can't find the application that I use to actually read that, after the disabling.//I raged on it for continually popping up on my advanced task manager.]

I rooted (using this method: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sch-i535-root-101633/) and ended up using the non-bloatware version and apparently the regular email app was considered bloatware for some reason because it disappeared.
So I tried following your instructions, but there was no "email.apk" in the download, so I figured you probably meant "exchange.apk." Followed the instructions, moved it to system\app, changed the permissions, and rebooted but it's still not showing. So I went back to try to install it manually, and it just tells me it wasn't installed successfully (and yes, I have "unknown sources" selected).
I am also not sure if this is the stock GSIII email app, based on the icon. Looks like the old yellow email icon to me.

Thanks, I have google these files but can't find them
copy the CM5.0.8 for N1 calendar & provider apk to your phone, and install them via file manager or app-installer and verify that the calendar works, once it does, if you want to move them to /system/app go ahead, just reboot one last time if you do.

Here is Cyanogen'd forum and N1 stable eclair to pull the calendar. I assume these are the same based off the post he reference, no guarantee from me though.

It doesn't say anything about calendar on the post.
the apk's are in the cyanogen rom zip. download the whole zip file from cyanogen (5.08 is the lastest eclair rom) and extract. apk's are in the /system/app folder
Even better, here is a post I just found with the stock TW Calendar app, plus others: found here, thanks to the3dman

You must use adb or root explorer to "install" them. You cant just install them like a regular apk.
ADB:
adb push whatever.apk /system/app/ (do the same with the .odex file)
Root explorer:
Just copy the files from your sd to the system folder and reboot.
Yeah, just drop them in the folder.

This ADB Push thing is really difficult!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
you don't rename it.
on computer you extract it, go into system and you see the apk
it won't let you install on phone by just clicking
put on sd card
go to astro, or root manager
move the memo.apk to system/app
done.
you need to extract the folder with winrar winzip whatever then there is a folder with the apk in it. copy it over to your phone under downloads or where ever you want to put it. then install.
edit: just did all that i said and when i tried to install the apk it says "application not installed"
just did what u said, even rebooted, and still don't see it

read the post above.
you have to move the .apk to system/apps
because memo isn't a regular app.
got the same thing. used astro, place the apk in system/apps. nothing happened. rebooted, still nothing. then even tried using the app manager in astro to install it and it says "there is a problem parsing the package"
Link no longer working... could somebody upload it again please ?

I've tried this with MIUI (1.7.22) on a SGS Captivate with no success. I have flashed many roms and installed/sideloaded many apps over the past 10 months. I know I'm doing it right, as I have 'installed' other system apps by moving the apk to /system/apps and fixing permissions and ownership. Has this worked for anyone on a MIUI ROM?
Another related question would be - is there a way to export the notes from the stock memo.apk?
I have installed a ROM that removed a lot of bloat including the DockMode.apk which I use daily when at my desk.
I have pulled the DockMode.apk from a stock rom, and from a modified rom and I cannot get either to install using Root Explorer, APK Installer or ES File Explorer.
I was unsure if this was as easy as it seemed.
I simply extracted the ROM files, pulled the .apk from system/app and copied it to my phones SD and attempted to install it.
The file transfers to the phone fine, and the DockMode icon is there with the 331 kb file. But I get the message (install failed) when using all three of the install applications.
Any suggestions, I really do need to find a way to make this work.
Put it in system/app

It's most likely failing because it's a system app, and needs to be pushed to the /system/app folder. You can do that with adb, or you can just use root explorer. To use adb, do this:
adb remount system
adb push HtcDockMode.apk /system/app (or whatever the .apk is called)
adb reboot
Or using root explorer, take the .apk and paste it into the /system/app folder. (You must make sure to set it as r/w using root explorer). Then long press on any apk in your /system/app folder, and press permissions. Notice what they are set to, and then make sure the permissions on your dockmode.apk are set the same as all the other apps in your /system/app folder. Then reboot when you're done. That should work. If it doesn't work, then it most likely means that the htc dock mode app is dependent on something else that's been removed.
I tried both the adb push method and the root explorer method, checked the permissions and attempted to install.
Still get the "installation failed" message. So there must be something else that has been changed.
Thank you kindly for the efforts. I will try to find another ROM that is similar and still has this feature.
if you really want to get technical, monitor logcat and it should split out the real reason why it is throwing the installation error.
adb logcat, adb shell logcat or ddms are three ways to access it.
if you want to pastebin your logcat, careful as there is private/sensitive data in there sometimes, we can take a lot and try and figure out the exact error.
as mentioned above, it probably has a dependence. logcat *should* tell us which dependency it is missing when it throws the install error.
figured i would present the option, even if its not the easiest. logcat is the easiest developer route to determine the issue, in my opinion. hope that helps!

Once you put it in /system/app you don't click install. Just reboot.

WOOHOO... that was it! I kept thinking I need to "install it".
I went back in, set all the permissions and rebooted and it works like a charm!
Thank you very much!
I uninstalled the stock clock because I thought that would delete the clock widgets instead. Restoring did not help, so I searched the forum and found this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070083)
According to the thread, I would need ClockPackage.apk and ClockPackage.odex to get the stock clock back. I have found ClockPackage.apk here, so all I need now is ClockPackage.odex. Could anyone please upload the odex file here, please? Thanks in advance.
Help, please. I'd greatly appreciate any help.
are you on a stock rom? how did you uninstall a system app? Guessing you have root so just put the clockpackage.apk in system/app, give it the right permissions, reboot and it'll be fine (hopefully), the phone should generate a new odex for the apk
Extract those original files from your downloaded "Rom" package and copy it to your mobile. Use root explorer to copy the file to system\app and set the right permissions.

Yes, it is rooted. Also, I did put the apk file in system/app and I got the app back on the application menu. However, it crashes whenever I try to run it.

I did not downlaod any rom so I think I am still on stock rom. What permission do I need to set?
Hello
How can i get back "AllShare Play" for my Galaxy S3? I installed another firmware and a rom and don't really know when it was deleted. I tried to find a solution but I couldn't find anything to solve the problem.
Cance
Go find a Stockish Rom that still has the bloatware........and just extract the System/app folder and put the apks that you want back into your current system/app folder.
Yeh useful tools are bloatware
Thanks for the fast answer but I don't know how to extract the folder when I have a ROM with the needed APK. Can I do this on my computer or do I have to do this on my phone?
Download the Rom to your phone or Computer.
Extract the Rom using a File explorer on your phone or a 7zip/winzip program on your PC and go through the folders...Find the
System/App folder it will be filled with every system app you can need......pick out the apks you want to add into your current set up.
save them to a folder and put them back on your phone....or if on your phone just copy them from the extracted location and navigate back to your Local System/App folder, make the Folder R/W so you can add and remove the system files.....and just paste them back in your current system folder overwriting the current ones. and set the premission to match the rest of the folder most of the time i think its rw-r-r
and reboot. sounds long.....but it only takes me 2 min to copy and replace the files and reboot.
its really simple once you do it a couple times.
hope this helps
Thank you very much, didn't know that it is this easy. I never opened the zip file of a rom ^^
What's the name of the apk? I don't see an obviously named app?
