Well thanks for the file. However when I placed it at system/app directory I still can't run the dialer and receive no service. Do you have phone.adex on the system/app or do you know any way to solve this problem?
Have you changed permissions and rebooted?

Thank you for trying to help me and yes I changed permissions and rebooted
. I accidentally uninstalled the original phone.APK with systemappremover.
here's my phone.odex unpack first, i dont know m8, i never been in this kind of problem. If this doesnt work, you have to re flash your rom or restore your latest back-up. Im sure this will solve your problem.

Royskeyz is right. If it doesn't help, you can backup your imp apps or data via titanium backup and reflash a rom. Or if you have a Nand backup, you can restore it.
One more thing. You have already done the pasting thing. You now you can try to install the phone.apk as a normal app. But don't delete the already pasted one.
If this all doesn't help, reflash the same rom again but don't wipe anything. And reboot. You will not lose anything.

Phone.odex should be in the same folder I.e. system /app.

One more thing, if you already have the rom, you could have had all the system apps in the rom zip on SD. You can extract any app via root explorer. You can try to paste the same phone.apk.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
lol there's no such file as "phone.asexual". lekhwani is right, its the same directory where phone.apk is. you cant find your's maybe you just uninstalled it.
how did you solve your problem? you can share it here so other user's (nob) that may encounter this prob have an idea to solve.
How can I get the stock Rom's task manager and install it onto CM7? I really liked it, and it worked fine for what I was doing. I tried extracting the stock image, but I couldn't. Anyone have a link?
if you have root, you can adb shell or the adb pull command in to the rom and pull it out of /system/app

Does that mean I'll have to flash back the stock rom, and pull the .apk from there? Do you know if a nandroid backup has the .apk? Cause I have an android backup of my rooted stock rom.
Look in the cognition thread. DG posted all the apks he pulled

Sweet, I found it. http://ponack.net/designgears/CognitionX2/removed/SamsungWidget_ProgramMonitor.apk
But I tried to install using Astro, but it said Application Not Installed... Any reason for this?

its not an installable application. it needs to go into /system/apps/ and permissions set.
it probably wont even work though, as it likely relies on touchwiz framework....but i could be wrong.
Guys i need help.my little brother was playing with my phone and he somehow deleted the contact and phone apk. I checked on settings>applications>all to see if they were still there but they're not. I would really appreciate if someone can upload the stock ics dxlp7 phone and contact apk. I can't make a call or check contacts since it's gone.or if you could tell me how i can restore them
Have you tried downloading the rom and flashing it over?
Why don't you extract them from the system/app from the "yourromsname".zip and use root explorer and place them in system/app fix the permissions to match the others and reboot

It's not the only option. It's just AN option. You should be able to re-flash a non-wipe package of DXLP7, and you shouldn't lose anything other than root. But you're not rooted anyways.
EDIT to add: question though. If you're not rooted, how did he delete system files?
EDIT 2: I should also note that any other solution for you will probably require root.

Guess I'll have to download the ROM and.reflash it...
I think factory reset will only wipe user apps but won't recover system apps.
Here it goes, stock phone and contact apks from LP7
root needed
Even if he has the apks ... he's not rooted so how are you going to push to system?

I have no idea how he deleted them. He can't even remember what he did. Can't really blame him since he's just a kid

Also, as stated how was these files deleted if your not rooted??
Just backup needed data and flash a rom.

None rooted phone with no way of exploring the system folders . Not possible to delete the APK only to delete the shortcut .
Factory reset will recover system apps as they are in the flashed saved firmware cache but it will delete data but that can be backed up .
jje
I have esfile explore even though I'm not rooted. Maybe he somehow deleted stuff while messing around with esfile?
Maybe he is smarter than you?
He Rooted,deleted,unrooted
As for solution reflash rom as stated before

His little bro is genius! He found a security vulnerability.
So basically I can't install apk files on my phone. It's a recent issue since I switched over to the newest fj stock mod rom. I download an .apk, I put it on my phone but when I click on it to install it, the option to install it won't respond. I can click cancel. but I can't click install... I can't seem to figure out why it won't do it, and I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm not getting...
This exact thing happened to me.. The ONlY way to fix it is to flash new roms sorry
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
That is not the only way to fix it. You can put the apk in the data/app folder and reboot and it should install. You do have unknown sources checked right?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Yeah, I have that option checked. I'll try moving them there and see if that works.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Tried doing that and it didn't work... I guess you could try and see if you have any luck.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
It didn't work when I put them in that folder and rebooted. What did work was turning off JuiceDefender and then trying to install them. Not sure why but turning it off made things install. Whatever... lol

assuming you flash roms as a solution, would you have a few backups?

As rquiett mentioned.....put the app into the data/app folder via any good root explorer app, then reboot.
The apk can also be placed into the system/app folder for the same outcome. the major difference here, is the device now sees the apk as a system app, and will not be removable via traditional methods like a user app. It would need removal by the root explorer app that placed it there.
Flashing "the same" build to get an app, is generally not needed, however, I have used this method many times over the years after I removed a system app I needed back.
You can simply flash the "same" rom over the top of the existing rom, and the pre-loaded rom apps are back.
Note: you must wipe the caches after using this method, or data corruption could occur. "cache and dalvik cache"
Long story short:
Root explorer app to place into data/app......or system/app
and if you are feeling adventurous....then flash the "same" base build over the top of your current build, then wipe caches and reboot.
Standard disclaimers apply....g
I have a weird question. I now have a Verizon S4, ME7 baseband, rooted. I used to have a S3. I use s-voice via Bluetooth dialing for voice dialing and texting all the time. It worked flawlessly on my S3 but sucks on the S4. It won't find some contacts, despite reading the names back to me perfectly while telling me it didn't find them.
I remember trying the S4 apk on the S3 when the S4 apk was released and finding it didn't work well for me. I reverted back to the stock S3 s voice.
My question now is, can I do the reverse? Can I put the S3 S-voice on the S4? Does anyone have the latest S3 s-voice apk? I don't have the S3 anymore (nor would I know how to get the apk off if I did).
Thanks

I use apps from the s3 and note 2 all the time, most work and for those that don't I use apktool to mod them to work. In the case of s voice I imagine the app will natively work and it sounds like samsung tts doesn't have much to do with your issue. Im not at home to test or post it but you could always download a stock gs3 rom and extract s voice from it to try.

Thank you. Excuse me for my ignorance: how do I extract an apk from a ROM? Is there a reference for me to follow or is it simple enough for you to post instructions? I've installed ROM's in the past but never actually worked on them.

Extract the zip, then system apps are located in system/app then copy svoice from there. Hope this helps.

Good point, that reminds me, in order to install s voice you will have to push the app to system and change the permissions. Hey OP if you don't know how to do this let me know, id make you a zip but I believe you're on me7 correct?

Omph, thanks for detailing the need to change the permissions. I always read about people doing that, but have never done it. A zip would be awesome, but yes, I'm on me7 - does that mean you can't make one? If nobody else makes the zip, I'll read up on changing permissions.

Unfortunately since your on me7 I cant make you a zip also you won't be able to make a nandroid back up either. This is because me7 doesn't allow you to have a custom recovery. Changing the permissions is pretty straight forward though, just make it match the other apps in the system/app folder, you'll also have to mount the system folder r/w.

Thanks for all your help. I extracted the file - called "Voicetalk" as far as I can tell. I pasted it into the system app folder using Root Explorer, changed the permissions, and nothing happened. I then realized that maybe I need to actually run the installer - tapping the file (which did indeed have the S3 S-Voice icon) gave me the option to install. I ran the installer, it showed the permissions, and then it failed to install with the only message showing: "Application not installed".
I deleted the app from the system folder.
I then tried again by first freezing the native S-Voice app. I tried installing the apk directly from the SD card and had the same result - not installed.
So, unless I am doing it incorrectly, I think the S3 S-voice will not install directly onto the S4. Any ideas as to a way to make it work?
Thanks

What you originally did was fine, just rename the original s-voice .apk to .bak then do what you originally did (move the s3 s-voice .apk to /system/app then change permissions) then reboot your phone. Also you can check to make sure the owner is root for both owner and group. I think it might have worked had you just rebooted. Alternativley you can just copy and paste the apk to your internal sd then use rom toolbox and go to app manager, tap the upper left corner (where it shows a little rubix cube android person) then go down to + APK Installer and select the s-voice apk that you copied to your internal sd card. Afterward check in app manager and make sure s-voice is a system app, if not convert it to a system app. Remeber to reboot your phone after it installs. If all else fails send me the .apk and ill figure it out and/or mod it to work.
You ROCK!!
Thank you very much for your help. The key was this line you wrote: "just rename the original s-voice .apk to .bak " I had not done that and the S3 version would not install. Once I renamed the original s-voice, I was able to install the S3 version. Rebooted, and voila. Now it recognizes, without a hitch, the names that the S4 version was unable to find. So now I'm in business!
