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.

Does anyone have an idea as to how I can add the apks to the roms I flash without using a computer. As source I used void forever without flashing the addons at first. I extracted the zip with root explorer, deleted what I didn't want. In this case, stock contacts/phone/dialer than repackaged the extracted file and attempted to flash the modified zip but I got a FC. maybe perhaps when I deleted I should of added go contacts.apk. here is what I deleted.
1.contacts.apk
2.contacts storage
What I wanted to replace:
1. Go contacts
A very insiteful person, daxelectro or ciaox told me I would need a computer and resign the modified zip but I'm **** storm up a creek without adb installed and a computer.
I've also attempted at freezing contacts and contacts storage but it misfired on me.
In a perfect world. I'd love to have void forever with poweramp,go contacts,go SMS pro,dolphin browser and go keyboard as stock. Someone think they can point me in the right direction

You should not edit the signed zips.
well if you want only go stuff on your cell phone.
Just re-install the rom (The one provided by the dev himself) ,install titanium backup and give it root rights and now you can uninstall whatever you want.
Go contacts will work fine without stock contacts.[Tested]
But the keyboard wont work without stock you have to keep the stock android keyboard with you and choose go keyboard as default.[Tested]
You must also know This Procedure Is Irreversible
You cannot install the apps you deleted again.
Lets be on the safe side so
MAKE A NAND FIRST THEN PROCEED
Good luck bud.!!!
Hello,
I would like to try one of the FishmanMod ROM but would like to add my own apps into the FishmanMod ROM. Can I just copy them into /system/app and they will get installed when I flash the ROM?

Get 7zip if you don't have it. Use 7zip to "open" the rom, not extract it.
Copy the .apk's to /system/app or data/app whatever's appropriate, then close the zip. Be aware some apps have dependent files or are dependent on the framework so they might not work.
Thanks, will give it a spin!
So technically, I can use all the .apks from my titanium backup save, and put them into system/app and have it all flash pretty quick >10 minutes and be good?
Just curious seems like a better idea than
Flashing ROM
Waiting for first boot
setup wifi
going to market to find and install titanium backup
waiting for everything to finish restoring after 20 minutes
etc.
Not sure about that bc of some variables with the services.jar and framework-res files but for generic apps like Angry Birds or something like that it seems like it should work. Batch restore suck with TB and usually cause more problems than worth it, so this could be a better option for that.
I am piece some theme parts for a Froyo build and was thinking of trying this out.
Tip for you buddy. Make a flashable zip of Titanium and you can flash it right after your ROM as either a /system or /data app. Then when your ROM boots up, launch it, search for your back up folder, restore your pro key and away you go without ever logging into the market. I do this all the time.
Love your new signature btw.
I've been doing this for a while now, but I do it with root explorer. I extract the ROM onto my SD, replace the mms.apk, and add a few others in system/app, then rezip, and flash. Haven't tried putting anything like TB in data/app, but probably will now.

hello, I am totally useless noobs.
sorry for bad english.
here's my question :
1. is it possible to remove an original apps (some developer apps / something that cannot be removed even I reset it to factory setting) without rooting my phone??
because I've read somehing in this forum about "ROM kitchen", so I can modify the stock ROM. because so many apps that I want to uninstall it.
2. how to get my current ROM in my phone??
I've search it for 4 days and no one have it. Sometimes I want to go back with the same firmware like I used now.
in order to remove system apps, you have to be rooted, you can uninstall it using titanium backup,

The stock rom, or the rom, or the firmware, is just the /system folder in your device.
In that folder you have to delete (or rename) in the folder /system/app/yourname.app and the corresponding .odex file to delete it from rom.
You can also use CWM.zip + Aroma Manager and load them sequentially from Recovery, choose in Aroma Manager to mount all partitions and do the above.

There's also the possibility to modify yourself the rom, but, is much more difficult. If you are using Vodafone o other operator custom rom probably there is the unlocked one and is official (stock) as well.
Hi there,
I can't be the only one who thinks the TouchWiz apps suck (particularly the SMS app). Is there a way to replace them with the stock ICS ones?
I'd rather keep TouchWiz for now until other ROMs become more stable, so flashing another ROM with the stock apps wouldn't be ideal. Could I simply root and replace the TouchWiz .apk from the system app folder and replace with the ICS .apk and re-boot?
Could I also use this method to remove all the included bloat (chatON etc)?
Finally, if I root my S3 is there a way to un-root it in order to get it repaired under warranty?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, I hate the stock messaging app, which is why after I rooted, I installed GO SMS Pro and then froze the stock messaging with Titanium Backup (don't uninstall it, just freeze it).
I'm sure there's a way to replace them with stock ICS ones, it's just a case of finding out how :3.
If you install Omega v5.0 the Aroma Installer Script actually asks you what bloatware you want on your phone and again if you have Titanium Backup you can also remove any junk left over (like Game Hub).
And yes, you can un-root or leave root and try your luck with Triangle-Away from CF.
EDIT: If you want to manually remove junkware, be sure to have a nandroid backup just incase you remove something you shouldn't.

Thanks for that. So once I root all I have to do to un-root is run Triangle-Away?
I love the stock ICS apps, SMS, dialer (and contacts).. basically CM9 which is 95% stock ICS. I would love to enable all these features on my S3.. any idea how? I'm reluctant to flash a custom ROM, as everything is working
Just those few things I would like to revert to stock ICS.. must be a way??!
There is an app in the market called ics messaging that looks like stock. It has ads tho

I'd be more comfortable placing a stock phone.apk, contacts.apk etc etc over top of my current ones than installing random apps
Wonder if the CM9 ones can be copied in place?

If you install the Omega play store app, there's a simple and fairly automated option to replace the samsung sms app with the stock one.
I've installed the Omega app, how do I this if I have a stock rom? Rooted

Pretty much the whole point of XDA is about custom ROM's what makes you think that just because everything is working now on stock that it won't be on a custom ROM, custom ROM's are undoubtedly far better than stock for the most part but it's your phone so entirely up to you just some friendly advice
Hi to everyone
Yesterday i have installed a custom rom for the first time(pacman rom)But before installing i forgot to backup applications.
Now files belong the applications still exist and occupy space.Since I will install most of those applications already, is there any easy way to reinstall them automatically?Or which files should i delete to get rid of those unnecessery files?
First thing you need is efs Bk up. Have you done this? Titanium Bk up for backing up apps is best app out there. What files are you taking about. Screen shot would help. If its app files when you re add apps it shouldn't make double copys of the files so makes me think there not app files. Screen shot pls :thumbup:

Use SD maid app to delete unnecessary files (corpses)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If the OS version for your custom rom is different to the stock firmware you were on (gb, ics, jb) you need to get rid of those (data) files anyway. If you use them with apps in a different os version it *could* cause instability and app force closures......

First I will try SD maid, if it doesn't work I will delete them one by one
Just delete and reinstall the apps you want. Sorry about time of reply :thumbdown:
Just flash a rom wipe/nuke script via recovery.
Did you Bk up your efs folder? Pacman doesn't auto Bk it up. Use hc ktool to do this. Worry about this folder alot. Lose this and you will have lots of problems. Like no calls texs or data.
