Hey Xda folks, sometime ago after i rooted my phone, I managed to somehow mess up smartshare
So I went and uinstalled it, now realizing that I only backed up the apk?
Not sure why, but everytime I try and install it, it fails - even if I put it in the system/app folder and gives it the right permissions.
So I was wondering if anyone could post the original smartshare.apk and odex if theres one?
Or alternative ways of installing it?
Thanks in advanced

Hey everyone,
I just got my evo (2.2) rooted last night (pretty happy about that since that was my first time rooting, and I got it on the first try, thanks to that amazing guide in the dev section). So far I've been able to remove all the Sprint crapware, without any problem. My next goal is a little more ambitious though and I want to make sure I don't mess this up...
I hate the new default mail app. This IMAP sync functionality for POP3 accounts really sucks.
So what I was wondering is... Would it be possible to manually swap out /system/app/mail.app for the mail.app from 2.1? What are the risks/dependencies? Has anyone tried this yet? And last, but not least, if this is possible, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the mail.app from 2.1?
Thanks,
Rifraf

You can just download the stock rooted 2.1 zip from the wiki, then open the zip, all the apk's will be in system then apps, .. I think thats where they are anyway. If thats no it just search around in the zip. The Mail.apk will be there somewhere.
So now I've got the Mail.apk and Mail.odex files from the 1.47.651.6 ROM.
I tried replacing the stock 2.2 Mail.apk and Mail.odex files in /system/app, and set the permissions on these files to 644 (same as the originals). Now the app isn't showing up at all on the phone in the UI.
Looks like, in the meantime, I'll be putting back the original 2.2 Mail apk/odex.
From what I read at code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions (sorry, n00bs can't include links in posts here), it appears that the only way to replace the new Mail.apk with the older version is to regenerate the odex file? Is this correct? This is, of course, assuming that the apk itself will work on the later OS (I'm hoping it will).
And if so, is there a walkthrough / guide how to do this?
Thanks,

The tread says it all, So I rooted my phone and uninstalled amazon mp3 and city id via titanium backup. What will happen when I go to update in the future. Is there a way to add these applications back without doing any flashing?
What are my options to be able to update via OTA without having any issues?
I have tried moving the cityid.apk to the system/app folder and installed it from there, but it just installed as a normal application that can be removed.. I figured that I need to install it as a system application. I now know that I should have just renamed them.
Thanks

Amazon MP3 is in the Market. You should have rooted, used ROM Manager to back up your system, and then removed bloat. Most ROM's have these items removed, some still use CityID or another version that does the same thing.
My suggestion is if you are rooted, you can backup your apps and such, just run another ROM.
I couldn't find CityID in the Market, but various ROM postings may have the apk for download if you wanted to re-add it. I would check those postings to see if it is listed there, and make a directory to move the files to if you think you may need them again! Prevents headaches, especially if they are needed due to corruption or something weird.
Correct me if I am wrong, the only reason I wanted to restore these applications was so I could update when honeycomb or whatever the new Update is going to be.
With that being said, could I just downgrade my phone using the PB31IMG.zip , that would wipe everything out.. removing root, and it would bring back original files that were on phone ( city id etc.) then the phone would automatically update itself over the air? problem solved?
You could just run ruu on it if I'm not wrong

Well now I am really confused, the cityid.apk file just randomly showed back up in the browser... so i went and looked and it says it's a system app and wont let me uninstall it now... haha... this is so weird, so now I just need to find the original amazon mp3 then i will put it back in there and see if that works.
Is anyone able to get the Amazon Mp3.apk and upload it and send to me. I would like to get the one that originally came with my phone. Version 1.7.67 it is the one that came with stock froyo
Hello guys....
I've accidentally backuped and removed my stock ClockPackage.apk from my i8150...
I've tried to restore by the same app, but did not working.
I've also tried to copy back the original Apk (i've it in backup folder of Rom Toolbox), tried to install...but still nothing.
The odex file it is also still there...
So, for now i've just installed an alternative clock/alarm from market, and it is working (but have Ads!), but...there is a method to have back Clock app in app drawer?
PS:
And, pls... do not say "have you a nandroid backup"?
Yes, i Have, but i just want to know if there is a method to restore the app in few steps
[SOLVED]
Ok... solved, also if i do not know exactly how
For future references...
I had already bring the apk back to system/app, where is located also the odex file.
Nothing was happened, also after restart...
Then, i tried to install the clockpackage.apk from the AOSP gingerbread, and it gave me the same error (App not installed).
But, like in a miracle, after this, app is back to the app drawer
Happy ending!
have you change the permission when you push the apk in system/app ?
just want to ask

Great thread spino1970, mostly because I made the same mistake you did, lol...
Now I really need your help... Could you kindly attach the ClockPackage.apk and the odex file in this thread so that I can use it too??? Thanks a lot man!!! I was trying to get rid of those useless widgets and made a mistake...
[Update]
I managed to get the ClockPackage.apk and the ClockPackage.odex from another device (running on 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.6) and now I get the following error while trying to install the apk:
"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package"
Does anybody know what to do?
I had the original optimus g on att and had been running a leaked version of 4.1.2 and was able to get an aosp version of the mms.apk to run (didnt like the one on the rom, no emojis haha) and since this is running 4.1.2, would it be possible to swap in that same mms app if i root the decive? If anyone braver than me wants to give it a try i still have the mms.apk i had on my OG. Or possibly root, install tb and then freeze stock/restore backup of mms.apk? If anyone has done this already then awesome, if not maybe ill do it this weekend (became a bit of a flash-o-holic with my OG so i cant wait for someone to tear into this and get some nice roms loaded

You can install the MMS.apk as a user app and not a system app. Makes it quite a bit less risky. If it causes problems you can just uninstall it.
whenever i try to install it it keeps saying its a system app and then fails cuz it says there is an app with a conflicting signature. is there a special way to install it as a user app instead of system or does it all depend on the apk?
I was messing around with this the day after I first got mine. Since they have the same signature, you can't install both at the same time. The only way that I would suggest doing this safely is to be rooted, set the system\app folder to read/write, rename the UniMessagebin.apk to UniMessagebin.apk.bak, then rename UniMessagebin.odex to UniMessagebin.odex.bak. Copy your mms.apk file to the system\app folder and rename it to UniMessagebin.apk then set permission on it to -rw-r--r--. Then set you system\app folder permissions back to rwxr-xr-x.
You should NOT need to reboot at this point. If the apk is valid and will work the the current system framework, you should see it show up in your app drawer. I was able to get the AOSP 4.1.2 mms.apk to run ok on my phone, but MMS messages weren't working (apparently a known issue with 4.1.2 AOSP). If the apk force closes or doesn't show up as valid, go and delete it from your system\app folder and rename the other two files back to their original names before you attempt to reboot.
Good luck!
i actually found one that worked but didnt have the popup like i had on my original og and the stock one on pro has it...plus the notifications didnt work at all...only reason i knew i had msgs waiting was cuz i happened to open the app...thankfully gf knows wat a geek i am and believed me when i told her haha. back to hunting i guess...thanks for all the help
and then i came across this one...so far has everything i wanted and a dark theme too http://bit.ly/125siHO lets see if notifications work...sux being the only night owl i know haha
So I recently rooted my Note 2 anddddd a few days after playing around with it (without a backup...i know...dumb me.) I am missing the settings apk so, in turn, I can't access my settings. Any one know how I can fix?
Thanks!

Backup your data, full wipe, reflash a stock rom. Unless someone can get you a stock titaniumbackup for the apk (which I dont even know is possible) you are out of luck I believe.
Another thing to check is to open up a stock rom's system/app folder on your computer and find the settings apk, maybe you can copy and past it into your directory with a file manager (es file manager if you need one). I've got nothing better to do right now so I will try it.
Edit: Too many settings apks. You've got to find the missing one
The second options should do it...:thumbup:
Thanks guys. Went with the first option. My next root run will come with many backups. Thanks!
