Extract the apk from the rom zip. Copy it to the system/app directory on your phone. Set permissions to match other apps in system rw-r-r. Reboot.
It may or may not work. If it doesn't, just delete it, no harm done.

Okay, so I'm using bionix 1.3.1 and I was attempting to install the mms.apk file without flashing through clockwork just to see how I would do it.
I've messed up, and now I don't have the stock mms app or the aosp app. I've tried to install the aosp apk file by using root explorer.
I've also tried moving the file to the system/apps folder and installing but I keep getting an error saying file cannot be parsed. Finally, I tried flashing with clockwork and it won't work now.
What I'm trying to figure out is why none of these things work, I would liek to understand how the operating system works better in other words. Also, if possible I'd like to avoid reflashing bionix and wiping.
Move the .apk to system/apps
Reboot

You don't install a system app
It was already in system/apps. Didn't work until I changed the permissions now though.

So I was using Titanium Backup and accidentally deleted the camera app without a backup so I am hoping someone can send me the Note I717 stock camera APK...thank you!
galaxy note I717 camera.apk
I tried sending via PM but evidently the site was having problems with me sending a PM. I would be more than happy to send it to you. What is your email address?
[email protected]
thank you so much
you should have mail (;
i got it thanks, but the app will not install, do i drop the file in a specific folder?
should go in "system/app"
im gonna have to odin reflash the stock software cause it's not working, thank you for all your help tho, i do appreciate it
You're welcome, sorry it didn't work out for you.

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

is there a black themes Google Calendar?
check out rujelus22 themez. He's created dark versions of pretty much every google app, including market, mms and keyboard. He may have a calendar too

Make a nandroid backup and if you don't like it or something goes wrong you can go back

Here's one for ICS, if your on GB ill try and find one for ya.
Go to your "system/app" folder and rename your Calendar.apk to Calendar.apk.bak, then copy the one I attached, from your download location to your "system/app" folder, change the permissions to match the original Calendar.apk. Then reboot into recovery, 'Clear cashe', Clear 'dalvik cashe' and 'Fix Permissions' then reboot.

Whats is happening with the stores updates ?
Very useful and perfectly working on Note3/Cyanogenmod 4.4.3 Nightly. Only the color tab selection isn't implemented... maybe yet ?
Thanks again, Pax.
There is a group called team black out. I used to download there apps. They literally offer so many apps. If I can find a link I'll post it below.

To be honest, I prefer a dark version of the Google Calendar too. It just looks so much cooler on my HTC
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...

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!!

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.
