I deleted the app with titanium backup and didn't back it up. Now I want it back and don't feel like flashing Ava9 rom again. I tried copying the stock APK from the rom and pasting it on system/apps folder with root explored and it won't install after I open it.
Any idea on how I can restore it.
I'm having a similar problem w/ mail.apk. I did however make a Ti Backup first, but now it is gone. I tried installing mail.apk from the OTA 2.2 update, but it fails.
Will simply dropping the apk and odex in /system/apps work?
Sorry for the hijack, but I'm guessing the solution will be the same for both of us.
edits:
I've tried the root options in ES FileExplorer, but that doesn't seem to work.
adb push tells me "Read-only file system"
adb remount gives "remount failed: Operation not permitted"
adb root says "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"
How can I make /system writable?

It's easy to get in my current setup (fresh)
But I was wondering if it was possible to get the vanilla lock in another rom like caulkins evio by just deleting htc lockscreen?
Also, how about the vanilla alarm and such.. delete worldclock or would I have to find that apk and install it?
Ditto, I would like to know this too.
yes, just delete them and reboot.
I have from a rooted file explorer and after reboot they return.
I am unable to delete in adb, I keep getting a "directory is not full" error or something like that.
I use the rm HtcLockScreen.adk command. I have done it after adb remount and get the directory error, before I get a read-only error. Same with HtcLockScreen.odex.
This is how it should go starting from command line in the adb.exe directory:
adb shell
cd /system/app
remount rw
rm HtcLockScreen.apk
Obviously if any errors are reported on anything before the last line, the last line isn't going to work.
rm failed for HtcLockScreen.apk, Directory not empty
That is the error I got, all the other commands worked or at least seemed to.
Maybe try to just rename it?
Code:
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.apk.bak
Just make sure you're in the right directory, but I'm sure you got that far.
failed on 'HtcLockScreen.apk' - Directory not empty error
Edit: pwd states that I am in the correct directory, /system/app

I used Titanium Backup to delete the Htc Lockscreen, and so far, it has worked on every rom.
AS for the Vanilla alarm, i just stripped cyanogen's ROM and found the APK for it. "Clock.apk" After i found it and transferred it to my phone, i went to Titanium Backup and deleted the original clock apk
adb reboot recovery
mount dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd system/app
rm HtcLockScreen.apk
reboot
it will only delete when the phone is in recovery

It sound like you don't have nand unlocked. I use root explorer to delete files without a computer.
How would I know if Nand was unlocked?
I have used it to back up the phone from Clockwork Recovery.

Major thanks, only thing missed was a "adb shell" command, but that was easy enough to figure out. It worked in recovery just fine.

what's the difference between the stock htc alarm clock and the one from CM? can you post the apk, please?
IMO the clock from cyanogen looks a lot better than the sense clock. You will just be giving up some functionality if you switch to the cyan clock. I have both of them installed just in case. I have the. Apk on my phone but since I am at work, I wont be able to post it up until I am home. Anyone else have it?
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
I'm using a ROM which came without the stock calculator.
I've been trying to install the .apk file with no success (it returns an error).
I also tried to copy the 2 files of the calculator to /system/app but it claims to be a read-only folder, and I really can't change it!
(tried chmod using terminal as root, with no success).
Does anyone have its installation for CWM or some working instructions how to do the copy to make it work?
Thanks!
Hello,
I'm running into a problem with installing system APKs on a the rooted EL29 GB 2.3.6.
I've extracted system APKs from other EL29 GB2.3.6 ROMs as well as copied APKs from my own current ROM's /system/apps folder (examples would include the calculator and camera APKs.)
I try to follow the guide @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414355Epic
Using Root Explorer I place these APK files in the /system/app folder, mounting the folder as R/W, adjusting the file permissions to (rw-r--r--), I click the file and choose install, and finally I get a progress bar followed by a message that says "Application not installed."
When I try to use ADB I get the following message:
c:\ADB>adb install camera.apk
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
2672 KB/s (1319121 bytes in 0.482s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/camera.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Can you please help me or at least teach me why some APKs install just fine and others wont.

Hmmm. I have always just put APK's on the SD card, selected them in rootexplorer and installed. When one won't install, it is usually either a conflict between the apk and the OS version OR a conflict between what I am trying to install and something already installed.
From the error message it sounds like a problem reading the internal manifest of the app .... But this is just a guess.

That would be because you are trying to "install" a system app to data. This will not work. Try this..
Code:
adb push yourapp.apk /system/app
Code:
adb reboot
enjoy.

Thanks for the response. Is there an easy way to view/edit the manifest file on the phone. I would like to skip installing the entire Android SDK/Eclipse on my PC.

I tried this as well, and I recieved the same problem when attempting to install the app via launching on phone.
Heres where it gets even stranger:
I copied /system/app/protips.apk and protips.odex to /system/
Then I used ROM toolkit to uninstall the protips program.
I rebooted the phone, mounted /system as RW and copied the apk and odex back to /system/app via Root Explorer. I tried to install this via running the apk in Root Explorer from /systme/app and get the same message about the app not being installed.
So here I am with an APK from the very ROM I'm running and I still cant resintall.

The point is for system applications, you just need to copy the .apk file to /system/app, fix permissions, and that's it. After the .apk file is placed in that folder, you do NOT need to select the .apk file and try to install it. It already is installed. Just reboot.
Got error as mentioned above

cant change filename, cant chmod, came out with syntax error: "(" unexpected.
stock GB 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.35.7 dxlm3.
LOL SBS doesn't want you to remove its stuff. Anyway, check if you mounted R/W. Try other root uninstaller like ES File Explorer. Try Terminal Emulator.

Seems like your filesystem got corrupted somehow. Probably formating the system partition and restoring a backup or reflashing the rom will be the only solution that will work.
thks anyway.
i suspect its the font of the file name tat causes the syntax error.
happen b4 on other files which i was working on, those i can correct by renaming it.
in this case, i just leave it be. since i had ridden most of unwanted apps my phone.
my phone is running faultlessly.
thks guys.
I have a G3 with CM13 installed. For some reason, I recently moved the SU file from system/xbin to system/bin. because of that, I've lost root access and I can't find a way to put the file back in xbin without root. Is there a way to do it?
I've tried with the android terminal and with adb on my computer but with no success.
