Cant add contacts - Deleted stock app - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Title says it all really. I deleted the stock app for Contacts as I didn't think it'd make a difference since I had Go Contacts EX install as well.
But now when I try add contacts through Go Contacts I get the No application was found to handle this request message.
Is there any way I can reinstall the stock go contacts app? Without reinstalling a ROM or w/e.
Cheers.

Running Oxygen 2.1.4, Android 2.3.4 if it matters at all

- nandroid backup just in case...
- assuming you haven't modified it, reflash the rom.zip without wiping anything
technically this is reinstalling the rom, but you won't lose any data. reflashing will give you back the original contacts.apk
alternatively if you're s-off:
- copy and extract the rom.zip on PC
- locate contacts.apk within system/app
- paste contacts.apk into system/app on phone and reboot

[Q] Usign ADB to push mms.apk -RESOLVED

Hi,
I've installed the latest Leedroid rom (3.1.3) and am having the sms issue (ie message fc's when i get a message and so i don't get notified). I have searched the forum and found that I need to to push mms.apk using ADB. Now I have used it before but for some reason I cannot get it do what I want.
Could anyone please post an idiots guide? I have already tried installing the zip using recovery but that didn't work.
Any help would be really well received as this is doing my head in!
John
Okay - managed to solve the issue:
If you have this problem then what you need to do is (thanks to hsnmz for the links and what to do)):
"well I did something and the sms problem is solved. I'll try to explain what I did
reflashed the rom via clockwork (I don't know if its necessary). booted. clear data of messaging app by going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All and then the Messages (This does not delete the mesages). I also cleared the weather data (not sure if this is necessary, this deleted all the cities).
Then downloaded the sense 2.1 message zip posted in this thread earlier. Downloaded the mms.apk posted by seo in this thread.
browsed inside the sense 2.1 message zip (did not extract) and deleted the mms.apk file inside the system folder. Draged and droped the seo mms.apk inside the system folder. copied the zip to sd card. booted to recovery. mount system. flashed the zip, rebooted. and now it is working perfect, all the notifications are fine. Hve not checked the mms as I never use that.
hope this helps

Download the 2 files and as hmsnz says drop the mms.apk into the zip folder, then copy zip to folder on your phone.
Reboot using recovery (I'm using latest clockwork recovery)
Scroll down to mounts and storage then choose unmount system.
Go back to main menu and choose install zip, then choose install zip from sd card (not update), then go to folder where you put zip file and then choose apply.
When it finsihed go back to mounts and storage and mount system.
Go back and reboot. Should be fixed.

[Q] how to undo non-paginated rosie launcher 1 on synergy

Well the title says it all... I downloaded and updated the non-paginated rosie addon/theme from synergy updater. I want to go back to how it was previously. I'm not sure how I can do that. Any help would be great.
just reflash the rom without wiping anything (ok, a wipe of dalvik and cache never hurts). you'll lose all system mods you have done so far, but it's the only way besides restoring a nandroid or manually replacing the files (which i assume you don't want/know how to do)
I'm sure I can do that, what files do I need to replace. I saw Rosie_scroll in astro.

lol rosie_scroll is the cache for the rosie on the sdcard that won't help. to replace files, open the zip you flashed, and find out what files it changed (ignore the META-INF folder btw, that's where the signatures and update scripts are). then just open the rom zip, and find the same files. now adb push, push using root explorer, or build a flashable zip of those files.

[Q] Need help with twframework-res.apk

Hello, so I just made few color changes on the drawable-hdpi folder images of twframework-res.apk. Then I pasted the new apk on my phone and replaced the current one on the system but nothing changed on the icons I made changes.
Do I need to follow any extra steps in order to make it work? I noticed there is a file called twframework-res.jar as well, so that may have to do with it?
The images I am trying to edit are the ones when you click the menu button(these are called ic_menu) and can also be found on the framework-res.apk. Also what is the difference between these two apks?
I find you get best results when flashing apks, and try clearing dalvik cache before you flash do it rebuilds the new images into the cache.
Hope this helps.
You can flash apk's? how ?
Using the install zip method? It doesn't show on the sdcard though.
Download a theme, open it with 7zip and go to the system folders. In these delete any apks. Then goto system/framework and put your apks in, then back all the way out. Boot into recovery and flash, job done.

[Q] HTC Locations' App. on other Custom ROMs

Hi,
I need to install HTC's Locations app on any custom ROM (ie: MyOneV or CM9/CM10)
So any1 can help me with this ?
(i tried it though, by moving these files (from MyOneV5.0FX Removed apks) htclocation.apk,locationpicker.apk,locatiooninstaller.apk in System/app folder bt it didn't worked)
When you move those files to system app manually, you need to put right permission rw-r--r-- then reboot.
Or the simplest way is, open the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip with 7-zip (not extract), delete all apks that you don't need and leave those location files in zip.
Then flash the zip in recovery.
And these files will not work on a CM rom.

:good:
Thankz
I tried that too, by removing all apks from zip keeping the said three files & flash it in recovery, still it doesn't appeared in apps!
Though i'll try again may b missed something or some file..
I just tried it, it works.
Your filename looks different, attached here the files from the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip, I named it to location.zip. Flash in recovery.
It Worked: Thanx

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST OR YOU ARE A NOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Download rootbrowser lite from the market. Now if you have the cm zip on your phone, navigate to it, open it, go to system, then go to app and find gallery2.apk. Click on it and rootbrowser will give you 2 options, click extract. This will extract just the apk to /storage/sdcard/0/extracted (its a folder now). Great now to add it to whatever rom you are running right now:
If you are trying to install the camera app on any touchwiz based rom it will fail, don't try, it will fail. If you are installing it on another AOSP follow the following directions:
1. With rootbrowser go to /system/app in the root directory of your phone. Then find your gallery2.apk and copy it and paste it somewhere on your sdcard (not in the extracted folder though) where you can find it in case something goes wrong.
2. After storing your old camera apk somewhere safe, go to the extracted folder on your sdcard and copy the gallery2.apk you extracted from cm.
3. Paste the cm gallery2.apk in the system/app root folder on your phone. It should ask if you want to overwrite a file (it will be overwriting your old gallery2.apk) just hit yes.
4. Reboot and hope for the best.
5. If it doesn't work try either clearing dalvic cache, cache or fixing permissions from your recovery
6. If all else still fails it means that the cm camera simply won't work with the rom you are using. This is why you made a backup. Simply find where you put your backup apk and copy it back to system/app folder and overwrite the cm one.
Once again you should have made an nandroid backup from your recovery before doing this so worst comes to worst you can always restore to that if you screw up.
If I have helped, please slap that thanks button
