I searched and found lots of threads on removing the bloat, not many on how to reinstall. I am going to flash a friend's phone to Cognition Froyo Beta6 and I know she uses this app.
I have successfully reloaded other removed .apk's using the Sideload Wonder Machine. However, this particular application won't install successfully (I'm testing it out on my phone just to see if it can install; I'm running Cog Beta5.5). After it tries to install I get a line saying Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT].
In DG's list of removed bloatware there are two files for Daily Briefing: InfoAlarm.apk and InfoAlarm.odex. Maybe the odex file is the problem? Do I do anything with that file? Drop it in /system/apps before trying to install the apk file? Any help appreciated.
Just get the genie widget. It is much better in my opinion and does the what the daily briefing widget did plus some. Just a thought.
Thanks, I will take a look at Genie Widget.
For what it's worth, I did finally figure out how to reload Daily Briefing. I'll post how I did it here since it may help someone else who is trying to reload an app that includes an odex file.
I used Root Explorer to put both of the files in system/app. Then I adjusted the permissions for the .apk file to: User; read, rewrite, execute - Group; read, execute - and Others; read, execute. I did not "install" the app. I just rebooted the phone and it was there. I don't know for certain, but I would expect this to work for other apps that have a corresponding odex file.

Thanks for your instructions mobius911. This got me going in the right direction for my issue, which was reinstalling a couple other AT&T apps - AT&T Navigator and Family Map. I got the original AT&T APKs from designgears' list of removed apps in his Cognition mod [http://www.ponack.net/designgears/removed-apps-froyo/]. I knew which one was for AT&T Nav ("ATTNav") but I had to search to find out which APK was the right one for Family Map [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8420365&postcount=62]. Then I used Droid Explorer [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558108] to install the APKs into system/app. It was pretty easy to do once I figured it out but jeez, it sure took me a while to get there.

You by any chance have both files still for daily brief? Want to get them back on my phone.
i followed the instructions on root explorer and i get stuck in a boot loop upon reboot. any ideas?
I figured something out with this. I just bought the Samsung Desk dock and wanted DeskHome to work. It has an icon for Daily Briefing and I actually like the program. I am running Cognition 2.3b4 and it does not have the Daily Briefing on it. I had tried backing it up with Titanium backup, but it did not restore correctly.
Anyway, onto the meat of the matter. Cognition v2.3b3 actually DOES have an .apk for the daily briefing in it and it does not require the odex to work. I am assuming Designgears modified it. If you download the Cognition v2.3b3 and extract it to a folder somewhere, you can browse to system - app and find the InfoAlarm.apk there. Then use Root Explorer to copy it into the system - app folder on your phone. Reboot, and you will have Daily Briefing.
This is pretty much the same thing that deanhatescoffee did, but I was unable to find a link to where the extracted .apk files were.
Here is a link to Cognition v2.3b3.

So it's part of the system and doesn't show up under Manage APP settings? Do you just push the apk into the /system/app folder?

What's part of the system?
If you are saying that you want to install a random app you grabbed somewhere and the Applications Manager won't allow you to install it, you are correct. That is used to uninstall applications
You can install apps a few different ways. Personally, I only install apps while connected to my computer. So I simply...
Code:
adb install applicationName.apk
If I have a bunch of apps I wish to install, I use android commander (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622873)
Beyond that, you also have this option (http://android.modaco.com/content/s...e-clicking-on-your-pc-with-installapk-beta-1/) and there are also file managers (http://www.androidtapp.com/linda-file-manager-formerly-android-file-manager/) that will allow you to install apps.
Hope this helps!
Android Commander looks nice...and useful. Thanks for the links. I'll look into those programs to see if it does what I want it to do.
To elaborate on what I wanted...I took the IM.apk from enoms rom and installed it onto cy's rom using root explorer...but it shows under app manager...it's not 'flashed' into the system ROM. So I'm wondering how to install the IM.apk so that it looks like it came preinstalled with the ROM.
Hope nobody says that I need to make an update.zip... cause I think that would be a bit over my head.
Anyway...off to read up on the link you provided. Thanks!

ooooh! gotcha.
Push any system replacements over their original...so IM.apk, Mms.apk, etc all get pushed into /system/app as you originally thought. Sorry, I didn't quite understand what you were asking.
But through my confusion, you got reading material...
After much google searching, and searching here on XDA, I'm at a loss. I have the Allshare.apk and .odex, however I have had no luck installing them. I've tried various suggesions, including pushing them from adb shell, and nothing seems to work.
I would love to continue using custom roms, but not having Allshare is a big reason for me to just use rooted stock. The rom I'm trying to install it on is Cognition Beta (Froyo).
Titanium Backup also doesn't work for this. It tells me that it backed up Allshare, but when I try to install it, the restore button doesn't even show up.
Also, a quick question for Rom Manager. With the rom backup feature, can you only restore a backup for the rom you are using? (i.e if you want to restore a backup for another rom, you have to flash the rom first, then restore?)
Although posted in the wrong forum... I'd also like an answer to this. Running CDE and would really like to have AllShare to stream movies off my media server.

Not sure why this would be the wrong forum. I'm using a Captivate, and trying to install Allshare on a Captivate rom.
use root explorer and add them to System/app and paste both files there.
reboot your device, and voila

Still at square one. Altho the .apk and .odex are now in system/apps, it didn't affect anything. Also, looked up root explorer, and how to use it, then downloaded it. It won't remount my main file system as read only...so it's permanently in r/w now.
Also tried flashing to killer23d's rom, to use titanium backup on the allshare he has in his rom, still wouldn't work.
So....clueless at this point.

At one point, I had this same problem, and the only solution there is, is to reflash the rom. It's a PITA, I know. And don't worry about what your filesystem is mounted as in Root Explorer. After every reboot it reverts to read only again.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be my case. Even after reflashing Cognition, my file system is still R/W. Didn't even have to hit the white button on root explorer to paste files into system/app.
Also, adding dlna.apk and dlna.odex into system/app still isn't giving me Allshare.
Edit: Well, I've found a better solution. I'm gonna go with Killer23d's rom...looks alot more like stock Froyo, is based on the I9000, has Allshare, AND Mobile AP. Both features that I wanted.
Thanks for trying guys. If anyone does come up with a solution tho, please feel free to use this thread, as searching for allshare.apk on google results in this thread being either the 2nd or 3rd search result (can't remember).
Works for me.
I just put AllShare back in, using the attached file, and it's working fine.
I'm running Cognition 2.2 Beta 9.1.3 and put the file into "system\app" using Root Explorer.
I also changed the permissions of the file and selected just the following:
USER = READ + WRITE
GROUP = READ
OTHERS = READ
Remove any other checked permissions.
In case you don't know how to get into the permissions, just long-press the file, from within Root Explorer, and choose "Permissions" from the list that pops up.
Don't forget to reboot right after.
Your issue is most likely because you are trying to reintegrate an odex'ed AllShare while you are using a de-odex'ed ROM. Ozone777's file looks to be about the correct size for a de-odex'ed AllShare. Just move it into the /system/app folder with root explorer as mentioned above and you should be good to go.
I used terminal to drop the APK attached in the previous post into /system/app and it works beautifully. CogYo 2.2.9

Just found this on Android Central
Grab the new market apk while its hot
Either get it from the source link on the post or I've attached it below.
Put it on your SD card and then use file explorer to find it and install.
I just installed it on mine and seems to work pretty good. Nicer look than the old market.
How did I know that the Eris would be one of the first places for new apks.
Thanks!!!
wow thanks will try it out.
imma bout to try it
EDIT: It doesnt install with MP3[SPEED] rom that sux
Just flashed this and all i can say is AWESOME! No bugs as of yet.

Try this:
This should pull the market apk currently on your phone and save it on your computer as a backup:
adb pull /system/app/com.android.vending.apk com.android.vending-backup.apk
Then push the new apk. This should rename the file as the previous apk and push it to your system/app folder:
adb push com.android.vending-1.apk /system/app/com.android.vending.apk
Then reboot:
adb reboot
Then try launching the market.
I am going to load it on a GB and XTRSense5 tonight and see how it works. any one else have any input on this ?
Input about how it runs? I am running GSB 3.7 Odexed and it is very stable. It takes a little time to load initially, but after that, I find the user experience much better than the previous market design.

will do. I'll report back later
I'm pretty new to rooting seen, so I appoligize if this question is dumb. But, on my Eris, all I have is a vending.apk file. So, is this the file that I need to replace with the new market apk?
It should run with either name, but I would make sure that you don't have more than one in there. That should be the one that you replace, though.

It's listed as Vending.apk in your screenshot. Same thing happened on my phone (GSB 3.7), and it worked fine after I replaced and rebooted.
Noob, first time posting...
Came to this site on my phone (via xda app). Downloaded file. Hit "open" and it went through the install process but finished with "Not Installed". Any thoughts.
Rooted Eris, Froyo 2.2.1, CM7, KaosFroyo V39
Edit: Never mind. Did the adb pull/push after flashing GSB CM7. Everything works great.
Has anyone seen this......
I can search the Market for games, books, and movies and find results. When I search for apps, I get no matches for my search. I've tried this with multiple versions of the market and multiple ROMs.
I've got content filtering set to show all.
Any suggestions.
Same here. Works perfect.

The original Android 2.3 update for the Captivate came with a new email client. Or updated version anyway. This client blows any other one I've seen out of the water. Does anyone know where I can get the apk for that? I am running Serendipity 7. I downloaded the package with the Samsung email but its the version that was prior to the 2.3 upgrade. I have been looking all over for this.
Why not just use K-9?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
The one that came with the Captivate update is 10 times better than K9. I briefly looked at K9 and didn't really like it.
extract .apk from any stock KK4 .zip CWM ROM - Nostalgia 2.2, Fasty, Saurom, Apex - it's under /system/app stored as Email.apk
Thanks, I think I have the correct files. I tried to install the .apk, but it failed. I am assuming that it needs to be deodexed. I am very new at this, but I found a program called xUltimate that is supposed to do this for me. I am going to give it a try.
Did you just try to install it regularly? Cause that won't work, you need a root file explorer, a terminal emulater, or adb and put our on /system/app then reboot.
Yes, I tried to just install it regularly first. I noticed that there was an .apk file and an .odex file, so I figured it needed to be deodexed. I took a look at that xUltimate software, but it wasn't as self-explanatory as I had hoped. Maybe someone can provide some decent instructions on how I can install it.
I am not an expert in modifying code or developing apps, but I followed some steps and edited the MotoEmail.apk file to bypass the security requirements for an email account. I am using it now on a rooted Bionic running the official ICS OTA 6.7.246 with no problems.
Modifying the code is not too difficult, but I could not find a premodified .apk file for the Bionic that was up to date. If this post is worthless because there is already an .apk out there that I could not find then no worries, just thought I would put this file out there since I could not find it.
Again, use at your own risk because I am not an expert by any means. It works for me with no issues.
Using ADB, I pushed the .apk to my sd card, then moved it to my system/app directory, then changed the security permissions after it was in my system/app directory. For instructions on how to do the above, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872128

Only thing I can suggest would be removing your accounts and try going through all the steps again. Someone else might be able to help further than I can because I do not know much, but I have been running this with no problems since i posted the link. If reloading it does not work then it could be some enhanced security coming from the exchange you are using. I am bypassing my school email security. I don't think this should affect anything at all, but its the only thing off the top of my head I can think of. If clearing everything and reloading the apk works please give a reply post.
does this support S/MIME? I downloaded a third party app to get my work email but the stock email app is so much better looking! I haven't rooted my bionic or really played with it since i switched from my X2 (which i messed with a little too much). If your apk does what i need it to do, this would push me to start playing with this phone more.

I am not sure if it covers that because I am not sure what exact security my school uses. You can try it and see if it works and if it doesn't just replace the apk file with the old one. It shouldn't take you that long if you are familiar with the basics of screwing with your phone.
