How do I reinstall stock apps?

I was using titanium backup to uninstall some system apps. and I accidentally uninstalled teeter. is there anyone who can help me reinstall this protected system app? I need to return the phone to my friend in a few days time.
I was coming from the point of view that I have a backup and can restore in the event of stupidity.

Today's lesson is - Don't mess with your friend's stuff
This should fix it...
-Find a Sense ROM from the Development section.
-Read the 1st post to make sure Teeter hasn't been removed.
-Download ROM to your PC.
-Open it with WinZip, WinRAR, 7zip etc
-Browse to \system\app\
-Locate Teeter.apk
-Copy to your PC and then move to phone SD card.
-Got to Market on phone and download ES File Explorer (or any app installer)
-Re-install Teeter.apk
Report back how you get on

Install failed. It says something about the app being a
system file.

Are you rooted, either perm or temp?
If you used temp root to get Titanium working then run Visionary to get temp root again and then try to install Teeter.

Yup i permrooted wth visionary. Reinstalling doesnt work.
I read in another post about directly copying the apk to /system/app/ then restarting. I am doing this now. Hope this works.

If you aren't S-OFF you can't write data to the /system partition, titanium uses an exploit to force the DHD to overwrite the app from recovery, and in that case my friend you are scr***d

Somehow i was able to write to /system/apps/ so i copied the apk and rebooted the phone. After restart i used titanium backup to restore. And teeter is back. Thanks for all the help.

hi
even i did something foolish like this lol
but i deleted the htcclockwidget.apk (i was trying to delete the htc lock apk)
i had a previous backup of it so i wrote it to system/apps and changed the permissions to rw-r--r--. however when i go to personalize/widgets i cant find the clock widget there.
ive tried reflashing another sense rom (leedroid 1.4.1) but tht hasnt helped either...
i tried flashing a theme wich had the htclockscreen.apk but tht also didnt work
i tried fixing permissions in cwn but still tht doesnt work
wat can i do to get the clock widget back??
i dont have a recent nandroid backup either
EDIT: got it working again.... .i went to manage applications, then htc sense and clear data.... all my shortcuts and mods on the homescreens went but i got the widgets working again

I need some stock apps anybody ever made a backup of their stock apps? (and is willing to share?)

Hello pplz. I installed CM 7 mod over the weekend. All went well except for the gapps. I downloaded the gapps from the provided link and flashed it using recovery. But gmail, market and goggle maps failed to install. And they were also not be shown in the market. I searched the net and found the apks of all. Market and maps were installed successfully and gmail gives the error of application not installed.
Then using root explorer I copy the gmail.apk to the system folder n still smell problem.
Please tell me a way to install Gmail
Apk.
Thanks

Were you using a different ROM before? And if so did you wipe before installing CM7?

yes did both the things

Check the permissions and you need to be s-off if using root explorer.

That is strange then. Personally, I successfully installed CM7 and then (during the same session within recovery) Google apps and had no problems whatsoever.
What kind of error message did you receive when flashing Google apps in recovery? Did you confirm that checksum of the Google appps file was correct?
And are you sure you downloaded this file:

And no some other by a mistake?

[Q] Lost Google News & Weather Service

Ok because im still a noob and cant post on the development forum...I figured id ask this here.
So i flashed the Gapps.zip from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056205&highlight=GOOGLE+TALK
Everything is working great including the gtalk video, except i have lost the google news and weather application. How can i get this back?
Im running CM7.0.3.1 w/stock CM kernal.

1) This doesn't belong in development anyway, unless you're asking in the thread for the gapps. Do not make a new thread for a question in development.
2) If the app is included in the gapps, just wipe cache & dalvik cache, then reflash the gapps zip.

1) I cannot post a reply in that topic yet...because i do not have enough posts to do so..
2) I tried wiping cache & dalvik, then reflased. Still nothing...
Also, I even triend installing the apk that wmstwo002 posted with no luck either. Is there a specific folder i have to drop that apk into first in order to install correctly?

Just drop it on the root of your sdcard, then use a root explorer, to locate the app on the sdcard, long press, enable all the permissions, move to /system/app then install. Make sure you are mounted as r/w.
Edit: I don't know if he pulled this from a sense rom, because its not installing on Cm7 for me, with enabling all the permissions, I can say its not going to work.

It may need to be in /system/app.
Do you have Root Explorer?

Still no luck. It goes through the install process and then at the end it says 'application not installed'. Im at a loss. I guess ill just go back to gapps without gtalk video. No big deal, thanks for everyones help

Try these gapps > http://www.mediafire.com/?92475r3frlncg29
And yes, they're safe.

If you do have Root Explorer (or another root level file explorer), copy the downloaded apk then navigate to /system/app. You need to mount as r/w - in Root Explorer there's a button in the top right to do so. Paste the apk in that folder, then long-press the geniewidget.apk. Choose "permissions" from the list and change them to rw-r--r--
It should look like this:
x x -
x - -
x - -
X's are checked, dashes are not.
Then reboot, and you should have it.

I do have root explorer and I have tried every option posted on this thread with no luck.
But, Im using the weather channel widget for my weather right now and i like it a lot better than the genie widget.
Any recommendations for any other weather widgets that are reliable?

Beautiful widgets are beautiful. Try it out. If you like it there is a paid version, but the default with no skins are nice too.

For just weather, I use Palmary Weather. It's also a paid app, but has the best weather widgets I've ever seen. Beautiful Widgets is good if you want a clock as well, otherwise it's a little bulky for just weather in my opinion. I wasn't aware that there's a free version.

tried 3 times
lol
also used calkins format all

Are Twitter apps the "only" apks that wont install? If so, that is indeed perplexing. If you have the time, flash a different rom and see if you're able to install.

Try moving the app to /system/app then use root explorer to enable all permissions, then install.

Try moving it to the /system/app or /data/app
It seems its a widget, so that'll why its not showing up, if its on your sdcard.

well i already tried the system/app combo and fixing the permissions and that didn't work. will try the data/app combo wierd thi cause it should show up in the app drawer to open up the app

if you have Root Explorer (or Android Commander on your PC), navigate to /data/data and delete the com.twitter.android folder, and then try installing Twitter again. I had the same problem on CM7 and this fixed it (without having to completely wipe the phone)

Years weird thong I don't even have that folder anywhere in data/data

One do you have CWM installed. If so boot to recovery and wipe Dalvik cache and wipe cache partition.
Make sure these are the only permissions set ON; Read-Owner, Read-Group, Read-Others and Write-Owner.
This should reset the application back.

how to install cwm???srry im a noob..i need everything in detail..plss

Unofficial ClockworkMod Recovery v.5.0.2.6

cwm installed.dalvik cache wiped...how to set permission ON for Read-Owner, Read-Group, Read-Others and Write-Owner??

many force closes r occuring google services framework and android.process.acore

Sounds like you did more than delete the com.android.providers.contacts.apk.
You might be better off re-flashing your ROM or do as ahmadns said and just run the RUU to restore your phone.

You can use ES File Explorer from the market, its free. Navigate to the apk(/system/app) and set the permissions.

i havent deleted anything else..hmm ok help me with re-falshing or running the RUU

By chance did you try to change the permissions on the apk after you copied it back? Then you would need to reboot the phone after, my bad I forgot to state that.
But if that did not work, then go to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445 and find your version RUU.

ya i changed da permission...should i put da same RUU or can i put a different one?? i was planning to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260590

Since you have CWM installed then do use Jikantaru ROM, he does excellent work!
Other wise if you ran the RUU it would over right the CWM and root, so you would have to do that all over again, unless you just extracted the rom.zip file and installed that thru CWM.

ok...will this fix my problem?? i have 4 custom roms im a lil confused which to select http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314430..i would prefer this bcoz i need internal memory or this 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317931....then cm7 port and da other one which i hav already told u b4...

In essence yes. This will wipe and install a fresh ROM. If I was you, try all of them to find which one better suites your needs. They are all developed by talented people with each there own style and taste. Just try them at least for two days each to properly understand the differences. You will not go wrong with any in my opion.

after installing custom rom can i change back to original rom??
