We all know that one of the reasons for rooting is to be able to get rid of bloatware......
But what if you've deleted the wrong app by mistake?
How do you get it back?
You *could* re flash the firmware or download the firmware, extract it and try to locate the missing app from the extracted files.......
Wouldn't it be easier to be able to simply get hold of a copy of the app and push it to it's original location?
Hopefully the links below will help you do just that......
System>>app apps
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023706117
System>>priv-app apps
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023706139
Just download the relevant zip, extract it, push the required app(s) to its/their correct location, set permissions (rw- r-- r--) and reboot.
These apps have been ripped from the Touchwiz 4.4.2 ANG2 firmware on a G900F.
I don't claim any ownership or copyright over them, I supply them 'as is' for legitimate use in replacing mistakenly deleted apps in firmwares, and accept no responsibility for any problems caused by using them.
They will work with Touchwiz KitKat firmwares, but I can't vouch for Lollipop or newer as I don't know if Samsung changed their firmware framework in any critical areas with the newer firmwares....
The only apps I haven't included in either zip are those connected with knox.....but let's face it, nobody wants them anyway....

Can we expect a lollipop version soon?

Probably not for the forseeable future....unless somebody else provides it......at this time, I'm not contemplating upgrading my device to Lollipop. ...I run a few UI mods and at the moment, lollipop has broken (some) of that capability.....
Ripping those apps is pretty easy anyway.....
All you need is a rooted S5 running lollipop and an app like Root Explorer that can change the RO status of the app directory to RW......
Then all you do is copy the apps (without the odex files) into a folder on (for example) external storage and (optionally) zip the folder......simples
If somebody wants to do that, I'm more than happy to host it on my AFH....(with credit/mention given).....
Edit....downloading lollipop from sammobile now (give it another 24 hrs and the download might have finished) at that point, I'll see if it's possible to extract the apps from the firmware tar....
If it is, I'll upload them to AFH and post a link.......although I won't know for certain whether they should go in System>>app or System>>priv-app.....
Having said that, if a member needs them the chances are that they'll also know which directory to push them to....
Edit 2......
No joy....downloaded the firmware, was able to extract twice (zip to tar, then tar to img files) and couldn't get any further.....
Tried using 7 zip on my pc and 7zipper2.0 on my phone.....

do you have any solution if we accidentally delete the odex file too. I made backups of the apk and odex but repushing them back didnt work. Any ideas?

The odex file should 'regenerate' automatically the next time you re-boot.....
I'm sure you've seen the 'Android is Upgrading' message appear when you boot up after a factory reset, or during the first boot after a rom flash......
This is what is happening when you see that.....The odex files being generated....

I then tried deleting the odex files and rebooting still nothing....
You got any ideas before i reflash my NK2 firmware from scratch?

Did you change the permissions on the apk file before rebooting? (Need to be set to RW- R-- R--)
If not, you need to do that......then delete the odex file you pushed into the directory and reboot....

Im using ES File Explorer so i set MOUNT R/W / and /system to RW to be able to replace and delete the files. Then i set them to RO and reboot.. no luck.
Im guessing thats wrong.

No....that's not setting permissions, that's just changing the read/write status of the directory you're working in.....
You are correct in that you need to set it to RW before you start though.....
Try 'long pressing' on the app in question and see if a dialogue box appears....If it does, look for 'permissions'.........
I use Root Explorer, so I'm not sure how ES File Explorer does things......

The messages app crashes. Never mind it works.
The dialer and contacts app don't seem to work on the US models as it causes acore error and crashes.

i have the Voicemail Icon on my Status bar ALL the time.
NO it's not a service provider issue. Nor anything else. it's just something i have to live with it (i live in Iraq,and trust me these things are normal here)
WHAT I NEED IS: is it possible to REMOVE the icon from the system so i can't see it on the status bar anymore????
If your rooted you could find the png file in framework-res.apk or systemUI.apk and replace it with a transparent image other than that i cant help sorry.
Yes Rooted. and Yes i want to use this method (either delete or make it fully transparent)
BUT: where can i find those? directory ???

framework-res.apk is in system/framework
SystemUI.apk is in system/app
What rom are you on?
Custom or stock?
Take a screen shot with the icon ill see if can change it for you.
i use CriskeloRom V18 with Blue theme
and as you can see from the screen shot the voicemail is ALWAYS there.

BTW, Thanks for your concern and kind help.
I have found the file its stat_notify_voicemail.png in framework-res.apk.
Can you copy your framework-res.apk from system/framework with a root file manager and upload it and ill replace the image for you.
If your not sure how to do this let me know and ill try to explain.
Ive modded the file to be transparent just needs injecting into your framwork
can you teach me how to replace the PNG inside the APK? so i can do it myself in the future.
Thanks again ( A LOT )
update:
the Framework-res.apk is over 10mb big and won't load (unless i zip it and send it in 2 parts) ... it'll be great if you tell me how to replace the png.
Sure i can we like a user who likes to learn
first you need winrar http://www.rarlab.com/
1. using a root file manager (this is a good free one http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=30417) copy your framewor-res.apk from system/framework to your internal or external SD Card
2. Copy it off the SD to your pc.
3. open the framework-res.apk on your pc with winrar
4. Navigate to drawable-hdpi
5. drag the modified stat_notify_voicemail.png i attached into drawable-hdpi leave all the options as they are and press ok.
4. copy the framework-res.apk bk to system/framework *you might get a force close or random reboot (dont worry its normal)
5. when phone has rebooted navigate to system/framework and change the permissions to as per my pic.
6.reboot
7.???
8. Profit
Hope that made sense!
Never will the voice mail icon annoy you again
My upload didnt work properly ive rar'd it up hopefully will work better this time
no matter what i do or use it won't let me edit (over write - replace - rename) the framework-res.apk file.
i replaced the png but can't replace the whole apk
PS: is there a way to permanently stop the Voice mail. (like uninstall the functionality from the phone)
You need to set your file system to writable, try this.
1. Download es file explorer from the market
2. In options tick root explorer
3. Tick mount file system as writable
4. Copy the file using es explorer
-possible reboot
5. go bk to system/framework in es explorer
6. long press the file - properties and change permissions to match my pic
6. reboot
hopefully that should sort it and you still get voicemail
ps. this shouldn't need saying but im gonna say it anyways, make sure you have a CWM recovery backup first just incase something goes wrong and you can restore
I tried leaked S Voice APK and just like Samsung confirmed, it is only a test app and has many bugs. You can actually hear the difference since leaked test voice sound garbled. Latest one below is one that cam with S3 Rom leak and more up-to-date.
HOW DO YOU INSTALL?
1. Download ZIP on link below(Extract on your desktop). If you download to phone directly, you still need to extract to a normal folder.
2. Contained within is 2 files.(voicetalk.apk & libsvoxtts.so)
3. Place voicetalk.apk in system/app with "Root Explorer" or like(Use Mount R/W and set permissions by holding voicetalk.apk to see sub-menu). Make sure to make permissions as "rw-r--r--".
4. Now place libsvoxtts.so on /system/lib.
5. Reboot *****NO NEED TO CHANGE build.prop such as with others.
6. ENJOY, then ask funny questions to it.
__* IF YOU HEAR NO FEEDBACK, try turning media volume up by opening phone dialer or on youtube video, or a music song and such.

You may need to make sure that the permissions are set right. ES will change them. Just long press the files, go to properties, then change the permissions.
So we copy each of the files in the /system directory of the smartactions folders into their respective folders in the phones /system?
for instance there is a folder for the app, all of those files go into the /system/app folder of our phones?? etc...

If you are on an odex build then you need to rename the SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.back before flashing.

You could try something like this to odex it yourself http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879128
Since you only changed the smali, we should only need the .odex portion once that is done, correct?
I would love an odexed version of this as well. I did try to do it myself but failed.
Just flash a deodexed ROM. I won't mess with odex.

This version works fine on odexed roms. Your entire System doesn't have to be one way or the other, as long as you first remove the original odex file. I installed it this way and it works fine.
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv SystemUI.apk SystemUI.apk.backup
mv SystemUI.odex SystemUI.odex.backup
exit
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app

I figured it would work, I can update the zip to delete the .odex when I get a minute so that way you don't have to do it manually.
One problem with this ... If you try to push in regular mode it says access restricted. If you try to push in Shell SU it says device not found. Thoughts?

Stock ROM (as in, from the factory) is odexed. So, this mod won't work without following the instructions a couple posts back.
you could use a file manager that has root like ES to delete the .odex file too.

Go into ES settings and enable root (dont use the app so dont remember how exactly). You might run into issues though as I think ES has some conflicts with the stock kernel.

Could we manually replace the file using Root Explorer then reboot? Won't that do the same thing?
Hey
owner of a rooted galaxy note 2 with Eclipse V9 rom android version 4.4.4
i recently replaced my default_gain file because the volume in my headset was way too low for me to hear it while riding.
so i changed it. it worked just fine for a couple of days but now i cant hear anyone and they cant hear me.
its not a problem with the headset since its work just fine with other phones.
i think returning the original default_gain file back but it did not help.

You CAN but the devs for that ROM probably hang out in their ROM thread and not in the Q&A FORUM. Thread and forum are not the same.
This problem is not rom related since they changed one of the default files.
When you replaced the file, did you set the permissions correctly and reboot? If you did and it still did not work, it might be a good idea to put the stock firmware back on with Odin and redo the rom.

im not sure what do you mean by setting the right permissions.. but i did reboot afterward. its currently back on the default file that came with the room
Files in the system must have the correct permissions for read/write access. Generally this is done with a file manager that has root permissions such as Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, etc.

Yes. Is it set to 0644 as mentioned in the link provided? If so and it still doesn't work, then you can try just reflashing the rom first so you might not need to wipe the device. Just make sure you wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash Eclipse.
If that does not work, then reflash stock and then redo recovery and rom.

Those settings have nothing to do with what I mentioned. Please check out the link provided in my previous post.

You need to check the permissions of the default xml file that you were messing with. Navigate to the file with ES and long press on it (I think...it has been years since I have used the app and know that it has changed a bit since then) to see the option to view the permissions for that file.
