Seems that I've lost this functionality some time ago, I don't have the option of selecting "Live Wallpaper" from the appropriate menu.

Remove something like live wallpaper pick up
You mean a certain .apk that used to deal with the live wallpapers? If so then which one is it?

That might be what you are missing. Look with a file manager that has root access in /system/app and see if you have the LiveWallpaperPicker.apk . If not, try that one linked above. You have to place it into /system/app and set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot. If that doesn't work, then look in the original zip of your rom and see if it's there.
Thanks! That is indeed the file that I removed. (and now I'm feeling silly for it)
I tried to place the file that you provided under /system/app, and setting the right permissions, but still, nothing shows up in the menu, just the option to select a static wallpaper.
The same happens with the both the .apk and .odex file from the ROM's zip archive...
You can just reflash the rom without wiping. Well, wipe the cache and dalvik, and then reinstall the rom and Gapps. This will put everything back in place while not wiping your data.

Hi guys,
I have recently make a wrong decision with my Gs2. I tried to use Titanium backup to change All Sharing and Social Hub as a User Application. And that result in these apps disappear from my phone. I tired to put the dlna.apk and social-hub.apk back to the "system/app" while nth new come back after a reboot. I think that's because i miss the odex file related to the apps. As I am using Offical Hong Kong Rom KG2, would somebody like to help me by uploading those files [dlna, social hub apk&odex]
Thanks

Thx for your help.
I have tried this list and put those apk in to system/app, yet the program have not come back even after a reboot.....
I use Root Explorer for installing .apk files.
Can you not download Social Hub and DNLA via Samsung Apps?

I got those APKs from the list you have posted.
And install them by using root explorer
My way to install is to move from sdcard to "/system/app"
I even changed the permission of the apks but still they don come back
thanks!

Try applications>manage applications>clear cache and maybe clear data for those apps if they are there.

I don't think you can install system files with root explorer, you need to flash it through recovery. I was having the same problem and flashing worked for me.

You just push them to the /system/app/ folder and reboot - that's all a recovery zip would do.
Thx Guys!!!!
My finally method was reflash the official rom..... that nearlly kill me as i have to reorder the application icon which take me an hour to finish that....
I don know how to use the recovery method but hope this post would help others who face the same problems.
Btw is there any apps to backup the order of icon in Application page? Rearranging them again is damn horrible if u got tons of apps......

Hope i'm not "noobing" here but..
I use SGSII with Litening Rom 6.1
I found a Contacts.apk which fits all SGSII roms that adds Hebrew letters to the letters bar for fast searching a contact
Used Root explorer to replace the old Contacts.apk (did backup the old one to another folder of course) and perfomed a reboot
When the device started, I had no "Phone" and "Contacts" shortcuts at the bottom and everything related to Contacts app did FC
I guessed it was a faulty apk so I restored the old one and rebooted but got the same result: no "Phone" and "Contacts"
of course that before all that I did a full backup with the recovery console so everything's back to normal.. did the same procedure again and got the same result...
am I missing here something? Should I do anything else other then simply replace the apk and reboot? (most of the threads are not stating other steps )
Please help
Thank you
No, you did not miss anything the usual step is to install the apk and reboot.
It might be the apk was not designed for the S2 because it corrupted your phone. Some apks on the market are not designed for all android phones but specific to a model because it contains code that is not on other phones.

I assume that i haven't did nothing wrong but why would restoring the original one did not fix it? that's my actual question
As the download apk that may have been designed for different may have changed some values that were not only associated with the contacts and phone.
because not all the modifications the apk installed on your phone where erased when you tried to restore the old apk.
The only way pnly way to guarantee every thing is deteled is to to do a factory reset or in your case flash your back up which will wipe your phone and reset to stock for that firmware.
This could be a good hint, although i DID notice "fits all S2 custom roms" and i use LR 6.1
So i would like to to a little experiment:
1. Backup Contacts.apk
2. Delete Contacts.apk
3. Reboot (Device will load without Contacts and Phone i guess)
4. Pasting Contacts.apk from backup again
5. Reboot
To your opinion, this will restore the Contacts and Phone right?
If it will, it will proof that the procedure i did was OK and the cooked Contacts.apk was invalid..
am I right?
yes, it should work as long as you make no other changes.
As custom roms as always evolving due to upgrades and changes.
Cooked versions of apks unless they are also upgraded also may have invalid links that are no longer recognized and that why it failed.
i will test it and post a result soon

It appears that you and me both were wrong..
just tried the test.. no good, after removing the file, contacts is missing, even after putting it back
still waiting for someone to answer the 1st post and save me :\
EDIT: Iv'e noticed you mentioned: INSTALLING, what do you mean by that? actually running the apk? (have tried, it asks to replace, i say yes but in the end i get "application not installed"
apparently the contact apk is not initializing properly.
I have one other suggestion.
from the recovery back up pull out the contact.apk that you know is working and try your experiment again and see if that solves the problem. do not use the back up you just made.
There maybe an issue with the backed up contacts in that the file maybe damaged.
have you set the correct permissions for the contact.apk?

Well, I haven't touched the permissions
Lets try to solve it one step at a time
When everything is working properly and the original apk is I'm system/app.. I cut the apk and paste it elsewhere.. Contacts is removed..
Cutting it and pasting it back wont restore it.. why?

Well it depends where you are cutting and pasting it to. Your phone works on the ext4 filesystem, where files have built-in permissions setting, they'll keep these permissions as long as they stay on a linux filesystem.. however if you copy contacts.apk to the sdcard or to external_sd (which is fat/fat32), then these permissions are lost.. therefore you'll have issues when moving to sdcard and back
if you wanna test this then try renaming the original apk to contacts.bak (it'll get uninstalled and disappear from app drawer) without moving it out of system/app, then try renaming it back to contacts.apk, reboot phone and it'll be back and working

no problem, app permissions should be rw-r--r--
just have a look at the permissions for any other app in system/app if you're unclear on how to set them
appears that this wasn't the problem either
This try i just renamed contacts.apk to contacts.bak, the permissions remained the same
contacts was removed, renamed back, nothing happend
no one?
maybe you need to wipe Dalvik Cache or even a full wipe to factory
Just to give an outside perspective, have you tried searching the app drawer for the phone and contact apps? The bar at the bottom on the homescreen is just a shortcut bar. If the phone and contact apps are in the app drawer, you need to add their shortcut back to the bar.
It's definitely not just the shortcuts... trying to access contacts through other apps like WhatsApp causing a FC or something..
I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't involve switching rom or wiping anything
What else can I do?
fixed
Found a solution!
Changed the kernel (speedmod t42) and wiped dalvik and cache (kernel is probably not related, but still, that's what I did)

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.

To be honest, I prefer a dark version of the Google Calendar too. It just looks so much cooler on my HTC
Just rooted, installed superuser, ran a full titanium backup. Then started clearing out some apps and accidentally removed 2 instances of clock 1.0 (why are there 2?). I thought it was just the widgets, but apparently it was the whole app/alarm clock etc. I go into titanium backup, find the app, click restore data+app, and it just gets stuck on the restoring screen. I've tried a few times, rebooted the phone, and it'll stay there for 10+ minutes. What's going on? Should I try a different method?
If it makes a difference, the backup file is currently just on my phone. I have no sd card yet so I just backed it up on my phone and was going to transfer to computer/sd card when I get it.
Really? Anyone?
If it helps I now have an sd card and transferred the titanium backup onto my cpu as well.

Use Root Explorer. Go to the file you backed up, copy it (you may have to unzip it first), click the back button until you see only a "/" in the upper left, the click on system, then app, hit the Mount R/W button on the upper left and paste it. Reboot and you should be good to go...
If not, you may have to set permissions, but I find that they are usually good by default.

Ok I'm using ES File Explorer (since its free). I found three clock related entries in titanium backup. They all begin with com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.****
one is .apk, one is .properties, one is .tar. Since I'm unsure of what I uninstalled (2 instances of clock 1.0 shows up as being removed in titanium) I tried copying all 3. Using ES I selected all three, copy to, system, app, paste. No other apps showed up under system>app. Not sure if this is standard when copying to or if that means theres an issue. Anyway after trying to move the files, each came up as failed to copy.
In the app also if I just click on one item, such as the .apk, it will load a screen with a clock icon asking if I want to install. That fails as well.

i killed the live wallpaper files a long time ago.
now i like to test the weather pro live wp.
can someone tell me, which files i need?
(i can´t simpy install the live wallpaper picker. the system always shows: "app not installed")
Use root file browser to push to system/app and set permissions
i gave all permissions to the apk in the system.
"app not installed" after the installation-prozedure
Have you got the right app for your Rom?
i took the original
secLiveWallpapersPicker.apk
4.1.2 on s3
which i saved before i killed them

You do not install it from there, or from anywhere else. You just put it there, check permissions and reboot. Done.
thats the way i tried it
there is a *.odex datei.
do i have to copy it back too?
what about the "special" permissions?
Is your ROM odexed or de-odexed?

It's odexed then, so yes you will also need the .odex from your donor rom
Sometimes it is just easier to flash a pre-rooted ROM version via recovery.
i still can´t use live wallpapers.

then there is just

if i flash again: will my confugurations be gone with the wind?
in my recovery is no option to wipe dalvuk.
titanium says there is nothing to clear,
so how can i wipe dalvik?
Dalvik wipe is in the advanced menu of CWM based recoveries.
However, your ROM is odexed so /system/apps don't have dalvik-cache anyway, so it wont help.
Flashing a de-odexed, pre-rooted ROM, if its a same version (4.1.2 etc) should not have any negative effect on your config
