Where is x system app?
If you are running the stock ROM that comes with the phone (rooted or not), then the disappearance of system apps is a bug with the stock firmware that comes with this phone.
Why is it gone?
Sometimes when you remove apps from the "menu/applications/manage applications" menu in settings, a plethora of system apps are deleted. You probably just noticed the one that caused you to make a thread about it. If you go back into the manage applications menu, you will probably see that many other systems apps are greyed out, including calculator, google services framework, and others. It is unknown why this happens when removing apps from that menu, it is just an annoying bug.
How do I fix it?
Well, there are two solutions. One, very simple, is a factory reset, and everything will be fixed. However, you will lose all your apps and data if you aren't rooted. The other solution, the way I chose to go after this happened to me 3 times, is to root and load any other custom ROM, I chose Incredible 2 HD.
I hope this thread helps answer people's questions. I have been seeing a lot of posts on this lately and wanted to provide a complete answer for people all in one place.
Your title says, this is a FAQ, so WHY? start a thread in the general forum??

Thanks to this site I now have a rooted Wildfire S which I have added Link2sd and partitioned the SD card to put my apps on.
I have downloaded a separate message app and am wanting another music player. Although I have looked through other posts I can't seem to find a definitive list other than the advice of freezing apps for a while first before deleting
Can anyone tell me if it is safe to delete these once a replacement has been downloaded or would I be better of using another (more streamlined) ROM and adding the things I want then?
Any help and advice muchly appreciated!

Yes you can replace it with other downloaded softwares, as an advice, backup the stock software, install the replacement software you want like Go Sms Pro replacement for stock sms software and uninstall the stock one, sms and mms will now handled by Go Sms, if not then reinstall the stock one, I've once done that sms thing on my wildfire s without any problem.
Make sure backup the stock one which you want in replacement with others..
All I can say is look through system/app/ and see what looks okay 4 u.
You can just freeze the unwanted apps with Titanium Backup,
The way i tried is to make a full back up then change/modify/delete bits and bobs to be replaced eg. Standard messaging with handcent, android keyboard with swiftkey3, htc lock screen with magic locker and gallery with quckpic. Restart the phone and see if it works. In theory as long as you dont delete actual operating apps you should be fine sorry there isnt a definite answer.. Oh and i found sometimes freezing didnt work, you actually need to delete them
Ok. So I have been reading a lot around many different Forums about the Voicemail Notifications and it also sending an SMS Notification. Seems the quick fix is the obvious which is installing another SMS Agent and deleting the Stock. Problem is is that to me that is like having the check engine light on in your car and just putting black tape over the light or pulling the bulb. yes it hides the notification but still leaves it broken. My question is What files handle the voicemail? Since all custom roms do not have this problem it seems there is a fix somewhere.
Another question is how can there be a rom with no SystemUI.apk? I flashed Elite Rom and I have searched through every file and folder with Root Explorer,Rom Toolbox,ESFile Explorer and Astro File Manager and yet to find the first thing that even as much as says systemUI.
What Rom are you running? Does the voicemail thing happen on Elite Rom? Just block the sms text that it sends you. As for systemui.apk its in system/app, and if its not there try looking in data/sysapp or something similar

At the moment I am running Energy Rom. No it doesn't happen on Stock whether odex or not. Doesn't happen on Elite or a few others either. It happens on nearly all ICS or JB Roms and anything with the newer versions of Sense built in.
As for the other I have looked those locations many,many times. What got me to looking is I do not like the Status Bar and it doesn't have screen capture. I tried to just flash both but no go so I decided to just change the systemui.apk file to one that does work. If your interest is now peeked I would say download and unzip the Rom and search for yourself. There isn't a file or folder I can find that I haven't checked. Also flashed it and checked via root to see if it was a file that I would only find once flashed. Haven't located it in 2 days looking but the Rom does work except I can't change the ui to something else.

SystemUI.apk is right here (see attachment)
Its in /system/app.
As for the ics thing, i cant help you there because i never run those.
Thanks for the screenie but it is Elite Rom with no SystemUI.apk but after much travel through Google Search the best I can figure is that the version used for the Rom doesn't have this file. I read somewhere that 2.1 and before didn't use the file which is what this Rom was based off.
As for the voicemail coming in SMS I found 2 different fixes but 1 doesn't work for me and the other I do not know how to do. First is an SMS to 9999 saying Block 9016. Got a reply saying blocked but the very next message also sent an SMS. Not sure if it is just my phone or no so......The other is to replace the Phone.apk in system/app with one from a rom which doesn't have this problem. I tried many different Roms using Root Explorer to copy/paste the file and recovery to fix permissions but always came up with stopping unexpectedly errors. I did do the wipe cache/davlik also. Is there another step to this process I am overlooking? This SMS 9016 is what is causing me to not use a ICS Rom that is really awesome otherwise. I really don't want to install the bloated GoSMS or HandscentSMS.
I just flashed my phone to the newest AOKP Task & Ktoonez (1/8) ROM and I always follow the OPs instructions by fully wiping, but for some reason this time my Titanium Backup app has NONE of my backups anymore and I'm not really sure how to fix it or who to go to. I did a quick search but I haven't found anything and I didn't see anything in Task's thread mentioning it. I don't want to mention it in his thread because he is very particular on what questions are allowed in his thread and anytime someone mentions an app he responds by saying that is a third party app and he does not support it. Thanks in advance for the help!
Well I don't know how to close my own thread but I fixed my problem. All I did was went preferences>backup folder location>detect and chose that folder it detected and I was good to go.

Did you try the "whole device" search in TB to see if it locates your backups??

Guys I found the two files the Dev was referring too to try to fix the data portion of this rom! I'm using sprint note 2 flashed to straight talk, and have tinkered for several hours on getting my data to connect via the rom.... It don't have nothing to do with the kernel or other files referring to getting data to work. I DON'T know how to upload the files the dev said to use to get your data working. All I can tell you is I now have my data up and running, on this rom! The issue lies within the settings via APN'S and the configuration within the hidden menus on our Note 2's. The problem is when you try to use the ##data# menu it won't allow you to do it. So via one of the files the dev mentioned allowed me to check current settings on 4.4.4 rom I was using with working data,and the rom I was using was Alliance Rom. So when I finally figured out that when you install this Rainbow OS the settings are preconfigured to be used with a foreign configuration. Yes the APN will also need to be changed via APN & Backup apk. But the main thing is several settings via the hidden menu are changed when this rom is installed. You really need to know what your doing when your messing with the strings, because you can lose data, and voice and a simple reset or flashing another rom and or Installing a backup via Twerp will not bring back the original configuration. The files the dev mentioned are also paid APK files I don't know if I can upload or link because of the rules on XDA. After getting data working this rom is truly one of the best roms I've ever used on my note 2. I've had no errors or even fc. The strange thing was my mms works via the stock messenger, sending and receiving.
Remember Messing with the network strings can cause your phone too become useless if you don't know how to put your proper settings back. Even flashing the phone using Odin back to factory won't fix the problem. Trust me I know I did it 3 times and it still gave me no data or talk. So always backup your orginal settings using APN backup.

Can you attach those files here
Can you give us the names of the apps you used to get data working, maybe take a screen shot of the settings that were changed? Would really appreciate it.
