i've been having this problem for a month now. eBay images says not available. Can see thumbnail, but not gallery images when i clicked on the auction. Called ebay, but they said it's on my end. Only thing i think i did was update Adfree when it first occurred, which i did uninstall, but I don't think that was the problem. Tried clearing out cache and data app. Also using different browsers like chrome, puffin, uc, boat, and android. Tried tethering and images doesn't show on pc browser also, but I can see on pc browser when i connect to home wifi.

I'm not familiar with Adfree but I use AdAway. If they at all work similarly, which is by rewriting the hosts file to reroute requests to ad servers, simply uninstalling Adfree would not disable the ad blocking as the hosts file remains the same. Hopefully, if you reinstall it, there will still be an option to restore the original hosts file. If not, there may still be a backup of your hosts file in your phone. Just dig around with a file explorer. If all else fails, try to find a copy of the stock hosts file for your phone online and put that in there. I guess you could make a nandroid backup, factory reset, pull the hosts file onto your SD card, restore the nandroid backup, and copy that hosts file in too.

i really don' t think it's Adfree. As I have used it in the past and updated and never had any problems with it. I used Adaway also with no problems. There was a revert back host, which i tried, but still nothing.

i just ended up doing a restore thru recovery from a backup i had when i first installed a rom (Luckily I backup from ther). Figured it was easier since I didn't know what caused it, but it fixed the problem. Now just have to spend time reinstalling all my apps and settings. Probably just use adaway this time. thanks for the reply

Use titanium backup so you don't have to do all that manually next time

I have found a couple people that have frozen or removed apps and are starting to get issues with their contacts. Not being able to remove, add, update, or anything with them. So I am posting a zip file off all of the apps for people that have removed them without backing them up. You simply need to restore the app that you removed which is most likely a yahoo contacts or email that is tied into the contacts. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2VU48HSU
Great resource this. I was going to post mine up soon, but you beat me to it. Only had my X2 for a day.
Do you restore these with titanium backup? Because I backed up the bloat ware and later tried to restore it to no luck. However the apps were frozen when backed up so perhaps that caused an issue?
I don't think titanium backup is good at restoring. I've tried it a couple times with no luck. if you place a copy of the zip file extracted on your sd card and open it with files select the application you want to install you can install it from there. I personally only like titanium backup for freezing the application I don't use and cannot remove.

I have tried to install the apps in your list but some would not be installed. Is there another way I can force them to be installed? By putting them in a location?
The list is:
Backup Assistant
Backup Assistant Client
DLNA
DLNA System Service
Emergency Alerts
All Authenticators

Just use root explorer and place them in system/data or push through adb.
Reboot after you place them there.

Sorry, I'm rather new to this whole root thing. I uninstalled backupassistant with Titanium backup and my contacts got screwed. I downloaded the zip and tried to install Backupassistant.apk but it says "application was not installed". Is there a specific way that I need to reinstall? Root explorer does not allow me to change permissions from read only for "system" so I can't move the apk files in there.

Check and see if you are rooted first. You cannot install system files as a normal app. They must be pushed to system/app or placed there using root explorer. Check and see if you are rooted or that you superuser has blocked root explorer.

Edit Below
I think I know what your talking about, follow Nitros instructions but when you are at the starting folder in Root Explorer press the Mount R/W button, I believe as long as you stay in the program (or don't press back too many times, because if you are at the base folder and press back it will go back to R/O) any folder you go into will say "R/W" at the top. So just press the button when its available and THEN go into the folder you need to go to and the setting will stick.
Edit: actually I just was messing with my phone and the reason I saw that behavior is because I was in the SD card where its always R/W. If its not showing up then yeah I'd listen to Nitro on this one, though I have no idea how you got rid of Backup assistant without root.
So I just copied the app list you posted onto my phone and now its in a boot loop. I thought that when I copied all of them over it would let me choose to not replace files already there. Now the phone is in a boot loop.
This may sound stupid, but I am kinda hoping its reinstalling the apks, one with each boot? But I kinda have a sneaking suspicious that I just ruined my phone since there is no SBF
Also, the boot times before restarting are not consistent, does this mean anything?

If you are in a bootloop but all of your apps are still in place there is a slight chance that you could do a factory reset through recovery and the phone will boot.

Yeah I am rooted with gingerbreak 1.2. As of now Im not really concerned with the contacts anymore because I can still add and save new contacts. My concern now is that when the OTA Gingerbread update is out for the X2, will I be able to install it without the original Bloat.

Yeah my office tech support guy took a look at it and tried it, we got an error indicator icon when we tried. I don't think it finished copying, I think everything dying killed the copy process and left something important unfinished.
Now I am a little wiser for my new phone.

So I'm guessing the only way to get these programs reinstalled is if the SBF is available for the X2, which it is not?
The reason why this happens is because you most likely went and removed one of the system apps on your phone.
NOTE: DON'T STUFF ABOUT WITH YOUR SYSTEM APPS, THERE IS A REASON WHY THEY ARE SYSTEM APPS, SO THAT YOU CANNOT TOUCH THEM, LEAVE THEM ALONE...!!!
You now sit with a phone with an un-installed app that you are trying to put back, but every time you try to install it, you get the error Application Installation Unsuccessful.
There are solutions mentioned like deleting the .Android_Secure director on your SD-card or clearing your Market Cache or taking your SD Card out. These options will NOT work because the removed application has most likely no entries in the .Android_Secure directory and the problem has nothing to do with the market place. It looks more like a permissions problem, maybe one of the DEVS can shed more ;light on this.
Here is what I did to get the app back on to my phone.
I used an App Manager from the Market place that gives you the ability to REMOVE SYSTEM APPS, it also has the ability to back up apps before you un-install them, although I have not figured out yet how to do that.
Normal backup programs usually create a folder on your SD Card as a destination. From previous experience with Application backups, they usually put the original APK file in the folder and when you want to restore it, it just re-installs the APK from that folder.
The App Manager in question also created a folder on the SD Card but obviously as I haven't done any backups yet, it was empty. With the above mentioned idea in mind, I put the original APK file that I got from the original ROM that I previously flashed to my phone, into the folder. I then ran the Application Manager and tried a restore. It picked up the APK file in the directory and it successfully restore/re-installed the app back onto the phone.
One thing that I did notice is that this specific Application Manager has an option to switch on Busy-Box, I do not know if this is a requirement but I had it switched on, you may have to install Busy-Box if your phone does not have it on already.
Hope this helped all you noobs in your conquest to re-install your apps and learn from your mistake.
Enjoy…!!!
I installed the Hacker's Keyboard as shown in a post on this site and it worked fine, but I got greedy and tried to upgrade it in the same way that I did the initial install. The problem was that when I tried to download the apk file from Android Market, it did not simply download and was installed. Now I can't get any keyboard at all.
I am still trying to fix this but I suspect it will be necessary to reinstall Android on my tablet.
Don't get greedy like me
Just wipe data and dalvik cache, backup your apps with titanium backup

So, at this point you cannot get a keyboard to come up? Can you get into a file explorer? If so, check and see if the original apk is still in /system/app (I'm assuming that is where you moved it). If so, a reboot should fix it, but if not, try checking permissions and reinstalling it (tap on the apk in your file explorer).
If it is not there, is it somewhere (perhaps on your SD card) where you can access it to move it back to /system/app?

I cleared the cache as recommended in the first reply to this thread and now I have the original keyboard. Both keyboards now work.

Veronica to the rescue again. My hero! You need a proper avatar pix, something with a cape. My husband thanks you for fixing my NT.
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.
Copy clock.apk there manually.

Need help still.I downloaded an app installer and downloaded two different apps one package one just clock..neither install using the installer. not sure if my issue is with using the installer since its a sys file or wrong apps.... Never done this before so don't know how compatibility works and everything

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 copied all my nandroid backups to my laptop. Then I did a full scan on Kaspersky Internet Security & this is what I got...! Why does this happen?
Problem solved... It was happening because of the "Hosts" file in the backup.

Yes that usually happens since the hosts file contain the blocks to site you wish to, and especially if you have used lucky patcher or freedom since that blocks access to Google
