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?)

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

Try the market for similar .
Or join XDA developers forum and learn how to root and take control of your phone .

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?

Sent from my awesome Xperia Play with DoomKernal

still not working , but i have some progress, now the cony pc companion does recognise the model of phone but still doesnt allow me to do anything with the phone and the phone still doesnt appear in My computer but it does not show in Disk Management as a removable drive that has nothin in it

The ultimate goal is to get DooMKernal and Cyanogenmod 9 onto the phone , is this possible without usb? circumventing my current problem, the only reason i am so keen to get it sorted is to do this, the factory reset caused all manor of other issues , screen lock doesnt work, if someone is saved as a contact in the phone they cant ring me , it auto diverts to voicemail, at this point i would be happy to be able to revert to the factory rom and start again
~~UPDATE~~
VICTORY IS MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAS ABLE TO USE THIS AFTER I INSTALLED THE DRIVERS THAT COME WITH IT
now to break it again

[Q] *#*#7378423#*#* not working (not able to access service menu)

Hey guys, as the title says, when I type *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu, it doesn't work. (the code just vanishes actually)
As for some background info, I have a r800a, and this issue started after I flashed the NXT rom. I tried searching the forums first, but couldn't find any solutions. Any help?
Thanks in advance.

There must be ServiceMenu.apk in /system/app to be able to use that feature. If you have other GB rom in PC, you can extract it and install it as system app. I know AuroraPlay rom have it, i'm not sure for others...

Thanks for the help! That's exactly the problem. I went ahead and did as you said and it worked like a charm.
For other people who might have the same problem, I have uploaded the servicemenu.apk with this post, and the entire app folder as a link for it is too big for xdadevelopers. I extracted these apps from the R800_4.0.2.A.0.79 ftf file, which is for the r800a model. I'm not sure if these apks are interchangeable so use at your own risk.

[Q] Where can I find the Xperia Play factory apps?

I remember seeing a list of links with the apps a long time ago but I don't seem to find it anymore.
Anyway, I've got some problems with my phone and I want to send it to repair because I'm still under warranty. The pre-installed games could not be removed without rooting and due to the fact that they're no longer on the phone (deleted them with titanium backup) it might seem a bit suscpicious because I want to get rid of any sign that I rooted it. I tried factory reseting but it doesn't restore the system apps. Also, I've never unlocked the bootloader and I'm not going to, so I can't install the stock ROM.
TL;DR I'm looking for a list with links for downloading the factory xperia play factory apps.

Just use PC Companion to reinstall firmware
Or use flashtool to flash stock firmware
Both solutions will reset phone to original state ( without root and with all apps installed).
