[Q] I want some apps back - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi, Im currently using Bobaridier v1.3 but when i changed from 1.2 to 1.3 the developer removed the original email app along with googles and also removed the Microbes live wallpaper which i love.
I would like to know if there is a way for me to extract those apps from the old 1.2V. I tried restoring the Microbes wallpaper with TB but it failed. I also tries installing a dump from the nexus and it gives me a parsing package error.
Like i said id like the original email app from samsung since i hate the AOSP looks and interface.. Thanks

I think i will be going back to v1.2 and then trying to see if i can do a backup of the email app and restore it in v1.3 if not is there any good apps for email that have a similarity to the stock app? I hate the grey color in this AOSP.

I used to get the errors installing MicrobesLWP. easiest way to get it installed is just push to the apps folder.
Actually pushing everything to the right apps folder always worked for me.
Edit;

http://db.tt/cTF3DoJP (Microbesgl.apk)
Move those with root explorer or somesuch to /system/app should work

[Q] Is there a Vending.apk that works with EG22?

I tried installing and copying over 10 different Vending.apk's to /system/app folder and none work!
A few older versions of markets(before WP7 look) installed and i could open them and browse apps but as soon as i push on the app button in market,try to install app or do anything else the market would crash.
I removed usual amount of unneeded apk's from /system/app folder,is there any apk's that require the market to work or it doesn't work period?
I noticed there was 4 or 5 Terminal.apk's in /system/app folder and i removed them are they needed for market to function or is it something else?I only removed the things i always remove besides Terminal.apk's.
Its a shame because other than market not working its a solid rom.

The new market posted works fine for me on EG22.
Don't think your problem is the vending.apk. You either removed somthing you shouldn't have or the version of ROM you are using has something broken in it. "Stock" odexed EG22 has no problems with the market.
I had no problem with the market in the stock deodexed rom either but I upgraded to the new market and am using it with no issues.

You probably right,time to put back some apk's and see which one is needed for market.
Did you try clearing data in the market app?
Please post the answer if you figure it out. I'm having the same problem.
Have you tried fixing permissions followed by a reboot after pushing the apk?

Stock ICS Email client

Hello All I recently updates my Galaxy S2 to ICS, but the email client that comes with touch wiz is very bad. Anyone know where I can download the Stock ICS email client that will work on a non-rooted phone?
I believe you need to be rooted to uninstall the stock email cliend and install the ICS version.
I also had troubles with the stock client but after I found the ICS version everything is fine ... except that its not themed to the S2 way but is white as the gmail client. Do a search here.
Good luck

Thanks for the information, just rooted my phone with Siyahkernel, do you know where i can get the stock email client and instructions on how to install and back up the samsung one?
Put those two files in system/app with any root explorer (like Root Explorer -the free version will do). restart the phone, should it work -hit thank you -will be my first
Dont remember who to credit for the files myself, got them some time ago.

Thanks For the files, I have copied them to system /app and it asks me to overwrite it, but after reboot and when I go back to check it is still the old email app, any hints or tips would help, thanks.
K, what I can do is post backups of the mail app from my titanium backup. You have to get the app, and put the file in titanium folder, then restore the app as if you had backed it up yourself.
The galaxy is home, and i,m not now, so it,ll be a few hours. K

Thanks for the help, I was able to finally copy it to the system folder, was an option that needed to checked in the file manager. Now every time I try to open email it crashes and the phone takes a long time to boot, had to go back the Samsung app. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
ok, try this -I got a titanium backup of Email 4.0 as it's called on ICS gallaxy s2.
It's backed up just before uninstall right after a new ICS flash -should be good.
1. If you don't have it yet, get titanium backup free from market.
2. In titanium backup uninstall your email app -dont back up (or back up, and then remove from titanium backup folder).
3. Put the 4 attached files in titanium backup folder
4. In titanium, restore the email app
5. See what happenes
Visit the Wanamlite site. Wanam posted a flashable zip of the stock email client that seems to work with any stock deodexed and rooted ROM (it worked on my stock deodexed DXLP7 and DXLPQ).
Be careful, though. After doing this, I noticed that if you try installing themes like Vertumus', the theme doesn't take properly and while you won't get boot loops, you'll have multiple FC issues afterwards.
I haven't looked but I have an inkling that the framework that Vertumus modifies is the stock sammy email client and not the Google one and so when you install his theme it tries to modify the Google client (since it's replaced the stock sammy one) and that's what's causing the issues.
Well, would,n it be more sensible first to try the titanium backups or the original, freshly installed, not tampered with app?

Samsung keyboard (AxT9IME.apk) not installing back on my phone.

I'm on Juggs 5.0 and I tried pushing a themed version of the Samsung keyboard app (AxT9IME.apk) into my phone but it would not install. I tried pushing the stock one back but it would not install either. The apk file is present in my system/app folder but it just doesn't run or shows up on application settings or TB. I had a backup on TB but when I tried to restore the app TB just freezes as is restoring the app. WTF! I've tried using a apk manager to install it and nothing. I've tried wiping cache, dalvik, and fixing permissions then rebooting and nothing.Running out of ideas on what to do. Help please cuz that's hands down the best keyboard IMHO. Thx ahead.

Change the current keyboard to something like keyboard.apko
Then push the new one using rootexp change the permission to rw-r-r then reboot. It should install automatically if not press install then reboot the phone.

The apks I used to try to reinstall the Samsung keyboard were from the Juggs Rom itself and from two other themes made for Juggs 5.0 (Kobalt and Bad Blue) so yeah they should of worked but all three fail to install. Its something from my phone. I think I'm missing a app that the keyboard depends on but I'm not sure. Thx anyways homie

K...Im not sure what you mean...when you view the Samsung keyboard app via a app manager lets say thru Titanium Backup it is labeled Samsung Keypad 2.3.5 but the actual apk file is labeled AxT9IME.apk just like the Android keyboard app's apk file is labeled latinIME.apk...There is no Samsungkeypad.apk.
The apk file IS present in my System/App folder but its not installed nor it installs when I try to do it. I know I done did something cuz I had it working and then one day when I wanted to type something I noticed the Android keyboard was showing and when I try to edit the input method the Samsung keypad was missing. I don't know WTF I did.

Huh? The Gmail app is a system app. It needs to be installed to /system/app. You cannot install it without root access.

You can side load updated versions of system apps without root access, and you get a notice that the app will replace a current system app but preserve user data. Whenever the Play Store app is updated and gets extracted and posted all over the forums, I just side load, agree to the warning and proceed. However, the system app that is being side loaded needs to be in an installable apk format which I understand to be its native odex format.

Although I'm no expert, I believe it still won't work. The reason you can install the apk extracted from the Play Store is because it is not a system app. It gets installed to /data/app. Apk's that come with a stock build are system apps, and cannot be installed into /data/app. They need to be installed into /system/app. Nothing can replace anything that is stored in /system unless you have root access. (/system is mounted as read-only in Android.)

Be my guest. Here ya go: http://www.androidtaskforce.com/2012/11/01/download-lg-nexus-4-system-dump/
Just an update. I was able to insert a few of the apps into an install zip and get them working with no problems. Wallet, keyboard, currents, play music, browser, Google +, and a couple others worked just fine. Gmail did not as I couldn't just insert all the framework apks as it would force close right away. Nothing ground breaking, but the new features are fun to see and experiment with.
The photosphere feature is very neat. I like the GPS embedded aspect of it too. YouTube seems to have a slicker interface. All in all 4.2 is very much improved over 4.1.2. I can't wait for that fresh aosp source!

What are the permissions to be set at? I pushed this and the stock file manager to system apps, fixed permissions via recovery, but neither work. When I use Root Explorer to check the apks they show different permissions from all the other system apps. MusicPlayer and SecNoteMyFiles show rwxrwxr-x while the other apks show rw-r-r-- I guess I need to manually change them?
EDIT - Actually what happens is they don't show in the app drawer, so I tried to install them from the system app folder, but I keep getting an error "Application not installed".

No go for me. They just don't want to work. I don't know why. I was on the stock ROM via ODIN. Everything worked. I pulled five apks from the system app folder. Three of them work, but the MusicPlayer and FileManager don't. I tried them both ways. I left the permissions as is, rebooted, and nothing. I did what you said, and still nothing. Got me.

First I want to thank you, and say sorry for making you help me so much, as I'm now realizing it would have worked if I just used your version from the beginning. I've been trying to get the one I pulled from my stock ROM when I was running it. It seems my APK is not the right one. Yours worked the very first time. It's also bigger than mine by about a MB. Where did you pull it from? I pulled mine directly from the system/app folder.
Also since mine didn't work for this, or my File Manager APK, would it be possible for you to share that too? Or tell me where to get it? Thanks again.
