I was going through Titanium Backup and uninstalling some of the AT&T bloatware and accidentally uninstalled S memo (or some component of it at least). Can anyone advise me on how to get it back or provide the APK and any other necessary files? Any help will be most appreciated.

Download the stock cwm-flashable rom from the development thread. go to the system/app folder and you can find all the apks there.

Hi,
I stupidly deleted an system app 'Flash' to be precise while experimenting with Titanium Backup. Firstly I updated the default Flash to the new 10.1 then integrated it to the ROM then decided I wanted to undo this, but can't find and option to do this procedure.
Please can some one help me restore my HTC Desire default flash.
Just to note backup doesn't seem to restore anything.
Thanks.

If it was a .APK that you deleted, the easiest option is to us ADB push command to put it back on the phone.
You would need to source it first, but you should find it if you extract you ROM.ZIP file.
Could you kindly tell me, how I may do this?

Post exactly which ROM you are using and i'll remove it for you and post it up
hmm flash. If only we had a unified place where we could collect all such third party apps. It could have a search function, menus and maybe even paid apps. Then people in need of an app could just find it here and install it right away.
Ohh wait it's called the market.
If the app is gone, you should be able to install it from the market and afterwards you can move the .apk file to the system partition.

Rooting is the same procedure, just make sure you have the latest version of Superuser as a flashable zip. I think there is a thread floating around somewhere to see what bloatware you can/cannot delete.
You can download 'root uninstaller' from app market and it would back up all the apps for you. If you accidentally delete any app you don't suppose to, you would have a backup. Also it highlights some system apps RED that you might don't want to delete.
I have maybe 15 apps that I use each time I flash a new rom. Some Google, some free and a few paid. My question is this... Can I make a flashable zip of my apk's to flash after I flash rom/gapps/kernel? That would make my life much easier
I know about Titanium Backup and having my Google account backup my apps, but I don't want to use TB or Google BU. I like to do fresh installs when I flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes! Of course you can. Have a look at this thread (there is a link near the bottom of the first post called: How to create recovery-flashable zips), and see if you can figure it out. I and others will be glad to help you out if you can't figure something out.

Tmobile samsung galaxy S III, Model: SGH-T999L, Build Number: JZO54K. T999LUVAMB7
rooted, still with stock rom.
When trying to delete some bloat ware, the stock calendar and mail app got deleted as well. I tried install them back, but failed.
Here are steps I did:
unzip stock ROM and get below files from /system/app:
SecCalendar_NAmerica.apk
SecCalendar_NAmerica.odex
SecExchange.apk
SecExchange.odex
SecEmail.apk
SecEmail.odex
using es explorer to set /system to RW, copy the above files to /system/app, change permission to rw-r--r-- for all of them
set /system back to RO
reboot
the calendar and mail app didn't come back, not in the app drawer.
tried to go to /system/app and click related apk to install, it shows: "application not installed".
could anyone point me what is missing? thanks.

Already rebooted couple times.not sure if there is compatibility issues?
As long as you pulled them from the same Rom/build version it should be fine. You could always reflash your Rom or firmware and start again.

As the good Doctor said, Reflash your Rom. Since its the same rom, I don't think you will loose any data. The bloat might come back.
I think you possibly deleted other related Apks sich as GMS or Google Core. Or may be those apks you tried are from different version. If you want to De-bloat, try one of the guides like this one.
Flashing the same will restore everything to the roms original state and won't wipe anything.
Not sure if it's the same as Perseus' link, but Aerowinder has a debloater in his signature a few post a back.

I *think* the problem might be I am not using the correct apk...
I used root66 way odin flashed MB7system.tar.md5 to root the phone, didn't flash any other ROMs.
When I tried to get those 6 apk, I was not able to get those from MB7system.tar.md5(unzip it to .ext4 file and don't know what to do with it).
So I got those files from T999L_UVAMB7_PureStockRooted.zip. Could this be the problem?
DocHoliday77, how can I get those 6 files from MB7system.tar.md5? I'd try this first before I reflash it again.
regarding reflash, in my case, do I just odin MB7system.tar.md5 again? and my own app/data will stay?
thanks

If you are on Linux you can Untar that file. If on Windows you should be able to open the tar with Winzip. Either way Re-Flashing Tar should not delete your data.
With the firmware it's not quite so simple as extracting it. (Youd need to install the kitchen and use it to extract everything from the .img.ext4 file. This has already been done though and is what the pure stock Rom was built from)
If you pull it from the pure stock Rom, make sure you are also getting the corresponding .odex files.
If you already are, then you need to flash either CWM or TWRP recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache.
Or you can factory reset
Or you can reflash the firmware on top of what you have now. No wipe required.
All of these things should be relatively easy to do. If you've already got the root66 firmware, then easiest would be to just reflash it.
Putting the correct files back in /system/app should work, but if not, that's probably your best option.

I finally managed to extract those three apk files from the ext4 files and drop them into /system/app and now I got back stock calendar and email app.
Thanks both of you!
Can someone post their stock SystemUI.apk and .odex files? I accidentally flashed a theme and forgot I was still odex'ed. (facepalm)
I'd rather not Odin back right now, I've already rooted & frozen a lot of apps.

Just rename all the .odex files (file manager while in recovery) with a .odex.bak and it should work fine.

Awesome just tried it out and it worked! I feel like such a noob [emoji1]
Also if anyone else reads this, make sure to mount the system partition in TWRP so you can see the files under /system/priv-app
