I accidentally deleted the Stk.apk, I believe this is an important file, does anyone have the file for download? :x
i believe it's the street view add on for maps. it might be available on market - then push to system/app/ - or get it from the update.zip from one of these stock roms floating around.
I thought the Stk.apk is the SimToolKit?
you are right. i remember having some issue with street view on my cliq and i got it confused with stk.

So I'm running cm6.1 and have sprint vvm installed and working just fine but I want the green vanilla icon instead of the sprint icon. Does anyone know of an existing apk with that icon already on it? I have already tried to modify the current vvm apk I have and replace the vanilla icon with no avail. For whatever reason when I change the icons in better zip, it does not save the changes. I have tried everything so now I'm hoping I can just find an apk that someone has already modified. Any help would be great!! Thanks!
Oh and I can't use 7zip because I'm on a Mac.
The reason the icon won't stick is probably because you've updated vvm apk. If you apply the icon to the apk in /system/app it won't work because the updated apk is in /data/app. Look for the vvm apk in /data/app and try that.
I just looked in the data folder but it is empty... hmm. And the current vvm app I have is stored on my SD card. I initially downloaded the original apk and then installed through astro. Also there is no voicemail apk in system/app either. I never imagined I would have this hard of a time! Lol any other suggestions? And thanks for the help thus far!
You don't have Sprint_VVM.apk in your /system/app folder? And there is nothing like com.voicemailblahblah-1.apk in your /data/app folder? I don't know if astro can read teh /data folder, if you see nothing in /data/app you need another file explorer or use ADB.
I am using the file explorer that came with cm6.1. When I access the data folder from the root it is empty. Would the fact that the voicemail app doesn't come with cyanogen have to do with it? I initially just took the vvm apk from fresh 3.4 and installed it through astro. And it worked just fine. So now I figured out how to add the. PNG files to the apk and save it successfully, however after I uninstalled the original vvm apk and install the new apk it says application did not install.. does that make sense? Lol
After about 30 failed attempts I finally got it figured out! I didn't realize I needed to delete the meta-inf folder before really signing it. Again thanks for helping!
Yeah, all your market apps are in /data/app along with any updated system apps. You can't see those apps with astro or the cm explorer but they are there.

Trying to edit some of the images of the yahoo mail app. The previous version I pulled the images I wanted to change from the apk, edited them (just changed the color) and pushed them back into the apk. Put the apk on my phone and installed it...no problems. Now yahoo released a newer verison of its mail app and I go to do the same thing. I used the 10 images I edited from the previous version and put them into the new version since the unedited ones in the new version were the same file names as the ones I edited. I pushed my edited images to the new version and sent the apk to my phone. But it won't install. I have tried everything I can find (or Google) and still the apk will not install. Attached are my two versions. The old version which has the edited images and works perfect, and the newer version that has the edited images and does not want to work. The zip file has the images I edited. Anyone want to tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Put it in system/app
Sent from my Samsung Legendary 4G, a Universe UTES phone, running "two.three.five"
Pushed to system/app, tried to open app and it gives an FC. I tried redownloading from market, backing up, copying and editing the backup and repushing to system/app (after uninstalling the untouched version) but still gives FC. I know its something with the edited images since the newer untouched version installs fine with no problems.
Did you sign the files?
Make sure there weren't any .9.pngs that you edited also. Those are special.
No I did not sign the apk. I was told before that you don't need to resign an apk, just check the "unknown sources" checkbox in the application menu under settings. But quite a few of these do have .9.PNG in the filename. I looked up DrawPatch9 images and am confused about what they are and how to modify a png into one. I am surprised the modded images will work in 1.3.6 and not 1.3.7.
So I googled and D/L'ed a signing tool, signed the apk (or at least the program told me it was signed) and tried to install on my phone with no success. I tried pushing it manually again and it gave an FC when I try to run it. Most likely the .9.PNG's are the problem. Anyone recommend a site/program to use to fix the .9.PNG's?
After reading a bunch of posts I recently discovered that I could open the zip files to a rom and get into the system/app folder and remove and replace the apps completely in this folder. So since I dont use twitter or facebook I removed them from this location and they vanished off my phone.
Are there any ramifications for messing around in here?
Can I preload apk's that I want into this folder before loading the Rom and have them installed upon boot up? Like putting the apk for Google Currents in there and when I load a new Rom Its there.
Thanks
Can anyone answer this question for me please?

i really dont see why not, just know that those then become ''system'' files. may cause issues with updating. i have heard of people who use calks rom (which has go launcher moved to system/apps) have troubles updating go launcher from the market. obviously youd have to edit the system/app folder every time you flashed a rom, even updates, or else it wouldnt match up right. seems like a major PITA to me
yes it does. Thanks for the input!

I searched the forum. It seems a rare case that misdeleting the service application.
The story is quite simple. I wish to maximize the use of internal memory so I moved some applications from /system/app to /vendor, where roughly has 120mb unused space. All these files had been created symbol links under /system/app. Most of them worked fine, except the GoogleServicesFramework.apk, which I reckon verifying its physical path.
So I moved it back. The sad part was that I forgot the symbol link was still there. The file overrode the symbol link which linked to itself therefore axed it to 0 byte. Soon I found how serious it was. All google related service were down, the play store, the talk, the map, etc. The google service must do some verification so I can't simply find a GoogleServicesFramework.apk to replace it. I can't install it either. It failed instantly.
I don't know the background of GoogleServicesFramework.apk. Maybe I should remove all related applications then find a package to install all of them. Is there anyone knowing how to fix this problem?
My Xperia Play is 800a, version 2.3.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-perf build 4.0.2.A.0.42. It is my first andriod device and here is my first post so please be kind.
Wait for someone here to upload the file for you or back up your files and reflash.
well as you said you tried to install it and it instantly failed, it will
you should get that app and copy paste it to system/framework and before that CHANGE ITS PERMISSIONS
how? copy it to system folder go to permissions using root explorer and change them to r-w-r-r i.e tick first three row buttons and 2 column buttons

yeah, I've checked the permission. It's rw-r-r. But every GoogleServicesFramework.apk I've downloaded are slightly different in size. I suspect this file is highly sensitive to versions.

i think you should try them and what you have got to lose? if you want your system (without GSF.apk) back just make a nandroid backup.
and you always got option of flashing stock firmware......
Another thing you can try is download a stock .ftf file, extract it and look for the file within the system files.. Copy paste and Bobs your uncle!

The problem has been fixed. Thanks to every one. You guys gave me a lot of hints. The solution was like that:
1, uninstalled the play store from setup and removed the incorrect version GoogleServicesFramework.apk under /system/app
2, extracted the GoogleServicesFramework.apk from a ftf package carried 2.3.4 version. It should be 2MB around. The previous downloaded one was only 1MB. Maybe that's the reason it failed to install.
3, installed it, not to copy to /system/app! Then there will be a file like com.xxx.gsp.apk under /data/app directory.
4, rebooted the phone and would see the google store appeared. All services returned normal. Hooray!
I didn't try to move it back to /system. Most apps in /data had been moved to /system and /vendor so there are 200mb left in /data, fare enough to me
I have been there.
Tried on the flashy and funky big brother's toys and screw it up.
I did that again with my GSM Galaxy Nexus by installing 4.2 apps like the Clock and Keyboard.
It worked great for days, only to find out my long awaited 4.2 system update fails because of actually having 4.2 apps before it arrived.
Since then I searched forums for the answers for couple of days in Galaxy Nexus forums, could not find one.
So, finally got it from Nexus 7 forum, thanks to DroidBonzai.
Here is the link to the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991026
Once I extracted the system apk and odex files for both Clock and Keyboard, I could manually upgrade using the 4.2 update zip from the posts here. Here are the files for your use. I am attaching as a .rar file, extract them and use root explorer or ES explorer to copy it to the /system/app folder. This is not a flashable zip.
- Remember to copy the odex files as well to the /system/app folder, I had to find that out on my second attempt.
- For LatinImeGoogle (Keyboard), I deleted this one extra file libjni_latinimegoogle.so under /system/lib folder. Not sure if it is required to be deleted for upgrade to work. But, this was not present in 4.1.2, got created with 4.2 Keyboard app.
Let me know if anyone needs any other apks, since I have the 4.1.2 system image, I could extract it for them. But, please expect delays.

Tnx!
Having some trouble
I have been having this exact problem because i installed the ported GoogleGallery.apk and I don't know how to extract the version from the 4.1.2 system image. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Keep getting status 7 error due to wrong Google gallery. I have put an older version back on but I think it is from 4.1.1 and not 4.1.2

Thanks a lot. I got the files as well as followed the links to the Linux image tool and got the other ones that I had needed. Pushed them all to my phone and installed 4.2. Much appreciated
Hey guys I put the files in system\app and did the upgrade to 4.2
Everything went smooth but now the keyboard for typing is not available, only the vocal recognition.
Under preferences I have both vocal input and keyboard cheked but only the vocal is checked in blue and there's no way I can check/uncheck the other one!
Anyone please?
Some of those files need to Go into the system/lib directory. First thing you can do is install anouther keyboard like Swift X or look for the 4.2 Keyboard install zip on some other sites. To reinstall the stack keyboard it is the LatinInmeGoogle.apk that goes in the system/app folder and the the LatinInMeGoogle.odex I also had to put the libjni_mosaic.so in the system/lib directory. Hope that helps
Temp fix for android keyboard in 4.2 update after messing with 4.1 keyboard
Ok , I have a CDMA galaxy nexus. When they made a system dump file of the nexus 4 I hurriedly got a copy of the keyboard app just like everyone else. I ran in to some problems with the 4.2 update but fixed that eventually. Now eve time the phone reboots the keyboard app always crashes. I found a temp fix for it which is to go t system/app and install the latinimegoogle.apk. this is suppose to be the keyboard apk. That gets the keyboard working again. but what I came to realize is that in the system/lib folder there are 2 so files, libjni_latinime.so and libjni_latinimegoogle.so. Is that an issue?
