So I have Stock 2.1 rom htc Hero rooted with 1 click root. (Vista x64 and cant sync but the app inventor works fine)
I needed the space (thought I did, in the end I didnt)
And via titanium backup I uninstalled the stocks and stocks widget(without a backup). Now I got them from a very nice guy in apk form but I need also ODEX files to it.
I have a friend with the exact rom as me. BUT he doesnt have root and I am not sure I will be able to get root from him.
So any way to get the apk + odex without root? . And if no. How is the root way?
But cant push them back to the system.
He suggested I do it with the adb thingy but the first step:
adb remount -a
does this
when set change only = device not found
+ USB debugging = operation not permitted
Then I read here somewhere to try to install and move them to the system/app
But "application not installed" when trying to install
Bought yesterday the root explorer and was thinking to just move them to the system/app. Would it do some damage? Or just dont work? Or maybe work?
As you can see I dont have any idea what linux and android is about so I dont know what that move would do or anyone has any other idea how I could do this? (Without flashing )
And why I need it. There is a new update coming 405.2 with the G-sensor calibration tool (htc wrote me to get it) . But here somewhere I read that it wont install since in the package are updates for ALL apps even stocks.
I cant do much more to this hero, since its still in warranty (and kinda not mine ) And I know more of this is posted here, and I tried to get some answers in some other threads, but no luck.
If I know the 405.2 will go on without the stocks and stocks widget installed , I wont even need this. But I cant be sure or did actually someone try this?
And thanks for any answer and sorry for doubleposting.
I have created an UPDATE.zip without stocks, because I hate It and had removed from ny ROM too.
If You need It I can send You a link.

Perdita, I wouldnt know what to do with the update.zip . If it involves adb.exe on the stock rom as described it didnt work. Also if I might to know.
Will I loose the future OTA update capability?
Will I loose warranty in some way?
Will I loose root?
And is your version compatible with mine? Meaning the locale files, languages etc?
Btw what would the original OTA do to my stock rom if it wont find the app? Will it boot into the recovery as did for the one guy in the thread before? Or it would just skip the files?
If it really just dont patch what it wont find I would wait
Perdita you seen the update what else is fixed as just the G-sensor, since that I fixed now manually and if thats the only change, no need for me to update kinda?
Latest PATCH updates about 100 files, so I don't think it shows changes G-calibration. I think that if you remove stocks with root, you will have errors with every patch that updates those files, so OTA updates that touches those files will fail too.
You will loose root for a while because you must re-root again (in my case I have update superuser application too).
About warranty, I don't know if you have root, and removed some applications from Stock ROM, you will have problems with warranty now?¿?¿?
Perdita2000,
Well with the one click root and unroot I wont loose the warranty .
So perdita . you sau I wll get errors. But that means I will brick my phone? Wont boot or just wont update? Or just errors and will upadte and skip files.
And thanks for the answer
You can't not update using standard OTA because it will try to patch files missing on your phone. That's all, you can't use HTC patches if you removed software to be patched...
I have tried and... files are not skiped, UPDATE just doesn't install...
Perdita2000,
Ah thanks soo much for the info When I get out of work I will bug you more
Perdita thanks for your asisstance .
But I was luckily able to get the apps back.
here is how (all at own risk!):
1. Find them . I found a suitable original non patched rom and extracted the apps I needed, in my case , STOCKS and WIDGET both APK and ODEX
2. Copy them with ROOT explorer to SYSTEM/APP (mount in RW)
3. Change permissions so they are the same as the other apps in that directory
4. Reboot (once or twice)
Maybe even the sense cache to erase and you have them back
This is what worked for me since I had no luck with the adb.exe :/
Now I am running the new update ....405.2 with ROOT and Stock rom (still with warranty )
Thanks PAGOT, but I'm running my own custom ROM without a lot of unusefull apps for me and a added apps and custom kernel to, so I want to update just files I have on my rom that's why a told you to use a custom UPDATE.zip.

edit: Posted new apk from cm6.1 for the G2. Works flawlessly now.
Works on iced glacier deodexed rom. Not sure about stock rom, but I dont see why it wouldn't. Just delete the odex file as well when deleting Mms.apk
Found working apk at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733567
reboot into recovery. Mount /system.
adb shell
rm /system/app/Mms.apk
exit
unmount /system from recovery
reboot.
adb install attached mms.apk (or move to sdcard and install with method of choice.)
is this the same apk found in the link? i think that apk is for Android 2.1... i'm trying to find the cyanogen mms.apk with all of the additional modifications.

You're right. I got it working now. OP updated.
would this method work with the vanilla contacts.apk as well? I absolutely hate the sense version of contacts/dialer and I cannot wait for CM6 to be ported to the MT4G. If i could have the vanilla mms and contacts/dialer the wait would be much more bearable.

I'll try it and let you know.
Phone.apk wont install and im getting lots of FC's. Any other apps you want to try?
does mms work? sms seems to work just fine but none of my test pictures are coming through
What would happen if I were to flash the gapps that Kmobs posted for CM6 over a rooted, s-off, stock ROM? I have a feeling best case nothing would work, worst case I'd get a bunch of force closes if the device were to boot at all. I've got a nandroid backup but I'm still hesitant. Anyone tried it to know what would happen?

if you've got a nandroid backup, there's nothing to worry about. Just do it.

You will get the Google apps. And the only way you can get the android marketplace iz if you flash the gapps because it is not on the stock cm6. I flashed it and nothing went wrong and was very happy it installed android market automatically after you set up your Google account

I'll try this out (because i freaking hate the slideshow stuff) and post if I get any FC's
Gotten 3 force closes so far while typing texts to people (within the past 1.5 hour ... :/) and some buttons in settings cause force closes. doh.
Anyone know how to get back the sense mms or whatever? I forgot to make a back up (though I have one from a few weeks ago, I've just done other stuff since then). Doh!
edit: It seems that it force closes for me whenever I send a message, but the message goes through to the other person, so not too big of a deal I suppose.
Hey guys, can anyone post their Mms.apk that is stock from the sense ui? This vanilla Mms.apk is seriously screwed up. I keep getting texts from people saying that I am sending the same text like 10 times when I only sent it once. It force closes whenever I send a text and claims that it never went through. It also force closes when trying to go to settings. I forgot to make a nandroid right before doing this
Can anyone please help me out and post their stock Mms.apk? Or if I just backup my phone with Titanium and then wipe/restore it, would that fix it? I'm not quite sure what the command "rm" did from the instructions. Ah.. this is what I get for playing with fire, doh!
Am I the only one with these issues? Stock rom btw :/
EDIT: Ok I guess you can ignore the above. I uninstalled and reinstalled with the Mms.apk found in this thread (I guess I did the other thread for some reason) and it seems to work OK now. Thanks all for putting up with me!

Just pulled this off of my phone.
Hi everyone!
I have installed Gallery 3D in the past and i seem to have completely erased the stock Gallery app using Root Explorer.
The problem is, i have just purchased the official home dock and i think i need to revert to the original Dell gallery.
Can someone please help me on this one?
Could you provide the required .apk or is it more complicated than that?
If everything fails, should i reflash the stock ROM?
If so, all i have to do is download the .pkg, rename it to update.pkg and update from SD Card?
Thank you very much in advance!
Strange, since they should be the same app as it's made by the same person. From what I know google bundled gallery3d as their official app for froyo.
Whichever it is here's a copy of 318's gallery3d, if you reflash by using the pkg remember it erases all your data so remember to back it up first!
(On stock 318 it's odexed, so remove the apk on the end of the odex file and copy both to system/app, it wont work if either is missing, forum wont let me upload it with that extension)
Thank you
Thank you sir for the prompt reply!
Think is, i am looking for the original stock 318 froyo gallery, not the 3D one, since the 3D one is not working with the HDMI dock. I think, that is.
Maybe i will try to install what you gave me first.
Is there an apk out there for verizon backup assistant? My rom didn't come with it, and i would surely like to get all my contacts back
I'd first recommend grabbing it from the ruu if you have it and then flash it as a system app. Look it up its easy.
Then go to Google.com/contacts and back up your contacts with the account you use for your phone. So then it will be much less of a hassle to switch carriers and phones because your always gonna use that account for your phone unless you get an iphone(why?)

3.14.605.7
its the one that was for unrooted users as i wasnt rooted until today
edit version number
Its very unlikely that this will work because its cleanrom pro and Scott states that all apps that were removed cant be restored but ill give it a shot:
first download these three apks:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4si0ghet66qc6rl/ba-syncservice-app-signed.apk this is the service for auto sync
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pke2vs49kbkuc5v/VerizonSSOEngine.apk you need this for any vzw apps so theoretically if this whole thing works you can also install my verizon if you would like
https://www.dropbox.com/s/amhrniz4n97plhv/VzWBAClient.apk actual backup app
Im going to assume you have adb and fastboot drivers already set up if you dont look it up:
1.after downloading these throw them on your desktop and open a cmd window. Windows+r and type "cmd"
first type 'adb devices' and make sure yours shows up.
Then type:
Code:
cd desktop(or wherever you put them)
then for each file type this. for example angry birds:
Code:
adb push angrybirds.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/angrybirds.apk
do this with all three apks and start with the sso engine
then type
Code:
adb reboot
and you should be good
probably won't work since scott pulls lib files, etc as well for those verizon apks. Better off using titanium or whatever to back up your current apps, then flashing cleanROM (not pro) that has those working to get your contacts.

thats exactly what i was thinking. if what i said before doesnt work. flash the ruu again and then backup your apps to google then flash cleanrom
mybackup pro is a nice app that will back up your contacts, call log, texts, calendar, etc as well if you have something against google doing it.
If you haven't already, you should update your bootloader and modem using this thread.
UPDATE 04-04-15
EDIT2: no longer available
EDIT: Clock package was not removed. Please use Play Store replacements for essential functions (Chrome, QuickPic, Google Camera, etc). There are other changes as well, such as just reducing the size of the file by removing unused system libraries. If you would like the QuickConnect and S-Finder buttons gone, I believe there are xposed mods for it.
Recovery-Flashable Zip (*NOTE: YOU MUST FLASH SUPERSU AFTER FLASHING ONE OF THESE)
Please check http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/testing-debloated-dob1-rom-t3077507
Both of the Flashable Zips are Odexed, and the Slim Rooted one comes with the Calculator, and Calendar Sync for Google. There are still apps to be removed, and this is in progress. GPS and Maps is working.
Two backups are provided, one of them is about 2.2GB (after extraction), and it contains the full stock rom, with nothing removed, including Knox. The second is about 1.1GB (after extraction), and it contains heavily de-bloated and rooted rom, with everything from this thread removed (but not NFC), and also Knox. A few other things are also removed, but nothing essential.
EDIT: Backups no longer available.

Yes. That's what I did.
Any more feedback on this? This is exactly what I've been looking for. For the most part I debloated the rooted version of the stock install myself as I prefer the smoothness of odexed roms. But I'd love to try this rom out, thank you for putting this together!
I'm curious about gps performance and if Screencast works. I love sharing my screen with my roku, but since flashing ktoons kernel I seem to have lost that ability, even flashed back to stock kernel and still had same prob. Anyone out there who can conform it works on this rom?

The debloated version works perfectly with my Roku.
Nice! I don't have the targets to test whether or not Screencast works or not. GPS performance will be comparable to the Stock ROM. I believe that it includes A-GPS, but I'll have to recheck Samsung's specification to be sure.
Great StockROM!

Thanks for testing it, I'm currently in the process of testing a Recovery Flashable Zip, and this time, I'll add in the calendar syncing app. I had removed it in the previous releases (called "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter"), so not syncing was intended. Is the Maps you're talking about something you downloaded from the Play Store or was it included (it shouldn't be, just making sure)? I'm not really sure what would be causing the FC with a Play Store release, but I'll look into it soon.
Hello,
I thought Google maps was restored from titanium but I even downloaded from play store and still FC.
Also, I know this is a very lite ROM but if possible please add calculator lol... I feel weird downloading a calculator from store

Google calendar won't sync on the lite version, missing some files, something like calendarupdater. It works fine on the full version.
