The easiest thing to do is to just reflash the ROM.
You could also copy the apk from the ROM zip file to system/priv-app, change the file permissions to 644, then reboot.

Anyone can post a copy of Olleh MMS.apk file? I screwed with mine and don't have the original.
Thank you
--Never mind, I deleted the mms.odex file with root explorer and my MMS is working again. Better make sure I have my Nandroid backups up to date!--

make a nandroid backup and then reflash the olleh rom and a then get the MMS.apk by using root uninstaller (you can free download it in the market)
then restore the nandrod backup and then install the MMS.apk
I'm using an S2 and what I really hate to lose when I change into a custom ROM is its calendar widget. So is it possible if I revert back to stock rom and extract that widget to be used in a custom ROM?

Yes, you can. Just flash a Stock ROM, root the phone and install Root Explorer and Link2SD. Open Link2SD, look for the Calendar app and see the directory.Take note of it. Then, open Root Explorer and go to the directory you found on Link2SD, always is /system/app, but it can be different. Copy to your SD Card, flash the new ROM, Root the phone again and install Root Explorer. Now go to the same folder and paste the Calendar apk and do a restore.
OK?

I was thinking of using a single backup app. Something like backing up that particular app through app manager(using a backup app) and install it once I flash to custom rom. But im not sure whether it is compatible or not.
I'll try your method and will post up whether it works or not. Thanks^^

You can install Titanium Backup and catch the backup from Calendar App. Just do it!
I suggest you install the stock rom then titanium backup you can found it in the market then open it you need root acces then search for calendrier and make a backup once finished swich to the custom rom and reinstall titanium buckup and find the calendier and restore it

Yeah, that's a pretty good solution too!
guess ill go with the titanium backup since it seems more of an efficient solution.
Again, I searched but cannot seem to find this...
Well, I was trying to remove stock apps after I rooted my phone, I used to use Absolute System to do so(with my old samsung fit), but now I cannot seem remove stock apps, at all... most problem is with ASTRO FILE MANAGER, i cannot seem to remove it, AT ALL...
any suggestions on what app should I use? or how I should do it?
TIA!

Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox, System Cleanup ( you can find it here on XDA or Play Store) or using a Root Explorer - delete the apk files

So i should just directly delete the apk from the /system/app folder?
You should backup the folder on sdcard first

Titanium backup is probably the easiest way to do it.
I am trying to extract my contacts from a nandroid backup. But I am getting stuck on one small step. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am unable to install this nandroid to my phone. All I need out of it is the contacts.
-Download Nandroid Manager
-Look in \data\com.android.providers.Contacts\databases in the extracted folders
-Copy all files out of this folder
-Give the following permission all files.
Premission Needed in Lollipop 5.1:
rw-rw- --
u0_a3
u0_a3
The only issue I am having is my contacts isn't updating correctly. It doesn't seem to take this change. Is this the wrong location or is it the wrong permission?
Current driver: Ascend Mate 2 Version: Lollipop 5.1 Software: ES File Browser
Other is there another method altogether? Please advise me. Thanks!

Are you trying to restore the backed-up contacts from Nandroid or are you trying to replace the present database in L with the old one ?

Right now, I am trying to replace the database in Lollipop from Jelly Bean's nandroid backup. I have lost some of my contacts and I want to get them back. If this won't work, is there another option?
I have my contacts synced with Google Mail\Contacts. I never lose my Contacts since they return when I log into my Google account.

I think, my problem is some of my contacts didn't sync to google and those are the ones I am missing. Do you have a suggestion on how to correct my problem?

You can import and export with HiSuite if you backed them up that way. HTH

Do you know if it uses the internal SD card or do I need an account for it? [I assume I would need one.]
You could go back to 4.3, then restore using your 4.3 backup. Open up your contacts app and in it's settings will be an option to export your contacts whether gmail account or phone storage. It will be made into a .vcf file. Go back to lollipop and open the contacts app. In the settings will be an option to import that .vcf file. Voila.

You technically can modify the .vcf file while on Lollipop and manually include all information, but would that tedious process be worth it lol?
Hi, everyone,
I uninstalled some system apps by Titanium Backup and cannot restore them.
com.android.bluetooth 4.4.2
org.codeaurora.bluetooth 4.4.2
I didn't know system apps cannot be restored after uninstallation by Titanium Backup. Googling on the web and this forum didn't solve the issue. I need these apps to use a bluetooth keyboard.
How would you solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

You're going to have to find a stock rom and rip them from it.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Can I use a stock ROM from a different model / android version?
For best results, use one for the same exact build version of the software for your phone. You will also need a root enabled file manager to place those apps in the correct folder and change the permissions to 0644. Once done, and you reboot, all should be working again.

Ok, I'm gonna suggest something else. You can always flash a new rom, rip from stock. But you can also do another thing. TiBU have some issue with restoring system app. Just go to the folder of Titanium backup & find the zip for the uninstalled app. Unzip it & install as user app. Use lucky patcher to move it to system.

This would only work if they had made a backup of it. Most people do not backup the system apps.

If that's true, really unfortunate scenario. But from his post, I assumed he have had made a copy as he said something about trying to restore.
> es0tericcha0s
I googled for the stock ROM or bluetooth system apps and unfortunately couldn't find anything. Bummer.
> Dexter_S
I searched TiBU folder in my phone and... the files below were found.
com.android.bluetooth-cce29368f45328b59af3e7203f22e149.apk.gz
org.codeaurora.bluetooth-cd34ccf08cce473926d3ffe3c8972ae8.apk.gz
Wow, why didn't I looked for them in the first place? I decompressed those files and got apk files then tried to install them by
Code:
adb install -r org.codeaurora.bluetooth-cd34ccf08cce473926d3ffe3c8972ae8.apk
But it failed with error message.
Code:
2476 KB/s (287076 bytes in 0.113s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/org.codeaurora.bluetooth-cd34ccf08cce473926d3ffe3c8972ae8.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Googling the error message didn't help. Any idea?
Issue solved
The issue was solved by updating the firmware to 5.0 Lollipop.
I updated the firmware to D5503_14.6.A.0.368_1279-6214_R3D.ftf (Xperia Z1 compact) by Flashtool and it worked!
Thanks for everyone who helped me.
FYI - Your previous issue with the installation of those files was because you did not follow my recommendation to install via root explorer and setting the permissions. You can not install system apps with that command, only normal apps that would be located in /data. Glad you got your issue straightened out though.
