Accidentally deleted too many system apps - Asus Padfone X and S

Hello, Thanks for all your help so far in rooting my Padfone X Mini. It's been incredibly useful in removing extra bloat and speeding up my device. Unfortunately I went just too far and deleted an app that I needed. I'm wondering if anyone can supply me with a copy of the APK for the ASUS Splendid app. It looks like the version I was using was 1.1.0.140618. I've tried some of the other downloads I've found of newer versions and they just crash every time I try to do anything. I rather liked the reading mode, but just wasn't paying attention when I got uninstall trigger happy.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks!
Tried installing it. Even copied it to /system/apps and installed from there. No matter what I do, it always crashes when I try to enable reading mode via the drop down quick settings.

You may just be best off using one of the ROM backups and starting over. I've learned to freeze an app first with titanium and then delete if no problems arise.

Well, I ended up just wiping it, installing a fresh factory ROM (since the stripped version had it missing as well) and re-removing the system app bloatware. I did it a little more carefully this time, using TB to freeze them first to check for problems. This time I'm good to go. Several apps already installed and more than a GB left. Finally this phone is usable.

Market 2.2.11 force close

I can't for the life of me get the Android Market to launch using VEGAn-Tab. The setup of the ROM goes fine, but when I try to launch the app it force closes immediately - no chance to even put in my Google info.
I've tried making a backup from my phone, I've tried downloading both the APK for 2.2.11 and the zip to flash from the internet, I've tried the file included in this thread which apparently helped someone else. I also tried changing permissions on the Vending.apk file to 777 (yes, extreme), even tried another version - 2.2.6 I believe. I've tried the clear cache and uninstall update "fixes" but considering I've never been able to launch this app those aren't available options.
What can I do? It works on other ROMs but CM isn't really tablet ready and I'm not a fan at all of TnTLite.
Bump.
Spent the last couple days trying to recover from bricking my tablet so I've been ignoring this thread, but I've got it running again. I would REALLY like to run VEGAn-Tab, but without this fix I'm going to have to throw in the towel and use another ROM.

Problems with root (some apps work, some not)

Hey guys, hate starting new threads, but this time I just had to. Here's the deal:
First I had a Galaxy Ace. I rooted it, and used root normally for a couple of months. Then something went bazzerk (don't know how to spell bazzerk xD), just as it is on my new Xperia neo. My root explorer works flawlessly and I'm able to mount my system r\o / r\w when ever I want and explore all sys files. BUT, my ROM toolbox, GO backup, etc. all apps that actualy "touch" system files (I mean change or retrieve the above), freeze when a command is given. I.e. I want to move an unmovable app to the sd card. The file IS moved, but the app freezes on "loading". GO backup: I restore a file, it's completely restored, but the app frezzes on 99% even though the job's done. Why is this happening, and is there a way to fix it?
Thank you all, and cheers
P.S. This problem sometimes just vanshies, but it's back a few days later.
P.P.S. I tried restarting, taking the battery out, restarting SU, and restarting the freezing apps, nothing erases the problem.
Have to you tried to factory reset in your phones settings?
If you´re rooted check the superuser app and loock at the log
what does superuser state?

No, I think that would fix it but then I'd have to set back everything on my phone, which I don't want

Superuser says everything's fine. I already mentioned I can see all my root files with no problem. But when another app tries the same, it freezes.

Installed, checked. Says it's rooted. I'm using Superuser and it's reporting no problems. Still freezes when an app changes something.
The thing is root works, I mean I can backup\restore app data, freeze apps, etc. but after the phone does this, the app freezes, even though it's done. A very strange problem. Is there anything I could have accidently made to brake it (exept disallowing an app from Superuser rights, I checked that three times; allways allowed) ?
I remember that i faced such problems a few weeks ago...
some root file explorers denied me the acces to the root files while i tried to change a bootanimation
root acces was granted but it didnt worked
afterwards i tried another root file explorer and it worked fine
why ?
i dont know but something went wrong with the first file browser
Try SuperSU v0.95
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Thank you all, it so happened that this version of Superuser didn't quite well support these versions of apps. Just changed the ROM Toolbox to a newer version, and it works perfectly.
:good:
apparently not working after root
noob here, I did my first root today, and have only been an android user for 2 weeks after defecting from apple since the first iphone. I was a jailbreak veteran of idevices, but I got bored with the stale bread, so I spent my taxmas on a Samsung galaxy s4. Specifically wanting the i9500 version so it would be unlocked to use on net10. I followed the steps from website, and video on Odin. And it looked like it worked perfectly. It wasn't until I tried to my photo gallery app to look at some pictures, and it crashed and wouldn't load. I had the same issue with a business calendar issue app that wouldn't open. I tried clearing system cache on gallery app but no luck. I'm afraid I'm in over my own head now, and might want to restore and start from scratch. The first thing I did after rooting was a full Titanium backup. only things that I installed after root was xposed installer and an app within the installer called swipeback.
I would like to know if there is a fix for this, without having to break away from root? Or if I must,how do I know which stock file I need. I know it's i9500ubueMk1 but there's many different regions.. I bought from a best buy in Charlotte . If there isn't a simple fix to fix why my apps aren't working,then the root does more harm than good, and I wanna go back to normal.
Someone please walk me through this!!
thanks

I had the same problem. Theres nothing wrong with your phone, its the app. Instead of root explorer, download root browser. It works better

[Q] "Download Unsuccessful"

I remember having this issue since ICS and on multiple devices running different ROMs.
What gives? I know the solution is to clear out the Download history and it still works. Just annoying that I have to do that... Does Google know about this issue??
You can also try using a browser like Opera, that helps me. But yeah it really is annoying it also happens to me both on GB and ICS

To be able to download certain files, you must first have an application that can run the file. If you don't have the ablity to run the file it will refuse to download, giving the download unsuccessful message.
What you say may be true. But the files I download are definitely openable. Yet they still don't download successfully until after multiple attempts or clearing the cache.

Hello everyone -- First post
I don't know if this will help, but i tell you what i experienced yesterday. I have both a HP Touchpad 32GB Wifi only and a Samsung Fascinate. I have the problem with both of them for months now. I can install anything i want from Google Play, but can not down load any other files, both from emails and websites. I can write to it with Window XP Pro machine.
Two days ago i was messing around with my Touchpad dual boot WebOS/CM7 and wreck it. Wouldn't reboot, couldn't run WebOS doctor on it or any thing. I thought it was bricked. Then i ran across a forum how to delete the volume manually and recreate them. Then install back to factory original.
Last night i got it back to 3.0.5 and installed CM9 tenderloin nightly 20121028 dual boot. First think i did was go to a website to down load a PDF file to see if this fix my download problem. File downloaded, i tried opening it, said no file associate. Jump into Google Market , installed reader, open the file, no problem. I started checking with ROM Manager for any nightly updates. There was one and i started downloading it, and moved on to installing Titanium Backup plus Root. Few minutes after dubbing around, checking CM9.I noticed that it had a download error. SO i jumped on to another website to download another file. Immediately <Untitled> Download Unsuccessful. Here we go again. Switch over to Google Market, Titanium Backup plus Root finished installing.
I remove it and root. Check to see if it fixed the problem. NOPE! still no downloading. This morning at work during break, I wiped CM9 out with ACMEUnistaller, and started over. Same install as before. No problem downloading any files so far, but i have not reinstalled Titanium Backup plus Root. I will install it tonight just to be sure and redo my Samsung Fascinate to see if i can reproduces the same results there with CM10.
Can someone else that is having the same problem confirm with their system and see if they get same result?
Not so
Sorry guys, I just reinstalled Titanium Backup plus and can not repeat it. I'll keep checking with everything that I install and any settings I change
You may have better luck with the Touchpad forum.

Its not just my touchpad that is having the same issue. My Samsung fascinate have the issue and it has CM10 nightly. I've search many forum site for this problem. There are many other that are having the issue with all different devices and ROM's. I
I'm currently trying to repeat on touchpad because if i mess this unit up it won't be a big deal for me. I have got it down 25 minutes or ever less removing the CM and reload it. Not so fast for me on the Samsung. So far unsuccessful repeating it. Going to try repairing Fascinate and on it.
You think this should be moved to another thread? If so please let me know.
Thanks in advance
FYI, if you change the name of the original Download folder to, say Download_old, then try the download again, it will create a new folder and download to that one. weirdly, the folder permissions are exactly the same for both folders after (rwxrwxr-x)

[Q] Wind S III won't download anything!

Well guys, introducing myself, I'm SunSpree, and I dun goof'd
So this afternoon, I felt it'd be a great idea to goof around and root my S III because hey! What's the fun in vanilla if you can get more?
So I used Chain Fire's root + Odin and succesfully rooted my phone. No problem here (yet). I quickly installed Adblock plus (this isn't the problem), and Titanium Back Up and used them. So far, I haven't deleted anything, so that can be ruled out. So now my phone can't download anything. Yes, I can go ahead and download APKs' online and put them unto it, but aside from that I can't do any downloading (including updates) from any source. If I try to download with the playstore, it'll display the blue downloading bar for some 3 minutes without displaying what percentage of downloading is left, and right after it'd show an error that it couldn't be downloaded.
If I go on the playstore, it'll say that the app has downloaded and I need to install it, but the whole download bar thing would happen again. Then I tried going on pimp my rom (downloaded the apk online), but it can't download anything either. It just says 0/100 and 0%.
Someone please help! I'd highly prefer if I didn't have to restore my phone (I only have backups for my contact book, a few games, and that's it).
Thank you XDA community!

Pretty sure Adblock Plus IS the problem. This kind of thing is typically caused by a modified hosts file. Rename or delete the one you find in /system/etc and reboot and see if that doesn't help.

Not familiar with that one, sorry. But unlocking your bootloader won't have any difference in whether or not things will download, I do know that for sure.

facebook app won t install

I have flashed the Candy5 rom a few times, but I am not able to get the facebook app to install. I have tried serveral Gapps. Is this a common thing or is there something I can do to fix this?
I posted in the Candy5 rom thread a few times, but I am unable to post there again because I have less than 10 posts?
I understand the work around to this problem could be, do without the facebook app and just login using a web browser. I just want to know if this is a common problem among flashing new/custom roms?
Seems like I was finally able to get the facebook app to install. It hung up on install but I just waited and waited and it finally successfully installed this time. We shall see if it fails to update/install in the future.
Well It won't let me move it to the sd card, and now I am stuck trying to re-install it again. Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone?.....

Have you tried converting it to a user app using titanium backup? Not sure if this would help. These new roms are just beginning to become stable though so expect some bugs in the lollipops until the devs have a chance to perfect them. Is there a particular reason you need to have it on sd card?

I am not sure about converting to a user app with titanium backup. I would like to move it to the sd card to save some space, but when apps get moved there, they seem to disappear sometimes and they don't like to update. The facebook app is the worst. It doesn't want to install and if you get it installed it doesn't want to update. Thanks for your reply.
I have not had any issues installing Facebook so in bit sure what to say. Is your device telling you that's it's out of space?

No, it just takes a long time downloading and then it says it is installing, but it doesn't install. I think a couple of times it might have said error 904, but I am not certain.
I do have it installed after many attempts, but it says it needs updated, and it goes back to the downloading & installing, but failing. Some of my other apps seem to disappear from my home screen and I have to drag them back out again and some apps disappeared and I had to reinstall them.
I did a fresh flash, wiped dalvik cache/cache/system/ before I flashed the v3.6 with the 09/09/15 gapps. Should I restore it to an earlier backup and update/flash through the Candy OTA instead?
I could try uninstalling the facebook app and try to reinstall it, but I am worried that might not work because this has happened to me on earlier roms too. Also crashes when I open a website link or youtube video in the facebook app.
I uninstalled the Facebook app then reinstalled it, but it appeared to hang up on install again. I shut down my device and waited for a minute or two and then turned it back on. While booting, it said Candy5 is optimizing Facebook app. Now the google play store shows the app is up to date.
I then tried opening a YouTube link from Facebook and it crashed to the home screen. Sometimes it shows the Samsung loading screen briefly, only with the Facebook app. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure which gapps you're using but maybe try another version. Make sure they are small or Pico gapps 5.1 version. Not the old 5.0
I am using the mini gapps from the op link.
Should I wipe internal & external SD cards also and flash again? When I wipe in twrp, I go to advanced wipe, dalvik cache/cache/system/data. I usually repeat that a few times before flashing the ROM.
I think my problem was due to file conflicts. I also had my original jellybean installed in twrp recovery backups and maybe the two different versions caused a conflict? I wiped everything and am now able to install facebook and move it to my sd card.
This is what I was worried about. It happened again during an update. Do I need to keep flashing gapps updates?
I just updated gapps to the 09/17/15 version and got this error now. I know I have plenty of space.
I was able to get the Facebook app installed again. I had to uninstall some apps and music to make space, which doesn't make sense because my 29 GB SD card was not even close to being full.
I am on Candy 9-08 build. I can install Facebook but can't update or move it to SD card. So if there is a new version, I have to uninstall and reinstall from the playstore. This usually takes a while and requires a reboot.
It probably something to do with the Facebook app. It used to work fine but stopped working a few months ago for me. I was on the 3-16 build of Candy for a while.

What I have to do to get installed is going to play store, initiate the download and install. When it's sat there for a little bit, reboot the phone.
