[Q] accidently deleated a htc sence file

I accidently deleated com.htc.android.world clock. Any way to get it back without a factory reset?

1) Questions do not go in this forum, they go in the "Q&A" forums
2)Download any sense ROM and just pull the /system/app/WorldClock.apk from the zip file and push it to your /system/app on the phone.

i downloaded the world clock apk, tried installing it using astro but wont install. how do i push the apk and odex files on the phone?

Agreed..plus you even took the time to check the box saying it was a question?????? then you could have taken the time to see the STICKY THREAD saying post questions in the right section.
second off if you dont know what your deleting before you delete it then you shouldnt be deleting stuff from your phone. Do some research before you start deleting items. PLUS do some research about pushing an item. quit being lazy.
Go to the market and get an app called system app remover(it works wonders)!

you probably need to put it in system/app and reboot not just install it

Exactly what Aiwetir said...
That's the Way I'm Always Able to Fix my Eff ups! But to Tell you the Truth... I Believe Whenever it Did Work Successfully for me, The System Apps were De-Odexed! But give it a Try, Might Still Work??
Good Luck!

Superuser

Hey
Sorry
I have a non rooted nexus one.
I downloaded rom manager
When I go into the app it says that it can't find su under /system/bin.
I found a superuser app- superuser.apk.
If I put superuser under /system/bin would rom manager work???

It clearly says you need root in the application description.

But I think it says that so superuser could install. If I could install it manually could it work??
I will flash cyan's mod so that would root.

Superuser is like a firewall that lets you restrict su access to your system. It's only useful once you have rooted. You need to root first...

How do you plan on putting something on the /system partition (that you don't have write access to unless you are rooted)?
Please save yourself some stupid posts (and everyone else's time) and read the newbie threads and articles that appear in Sticky threads at the top of each forum and/or in the NexusOne Wiki. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&pagename=Nexus_One)
You are obviously in over your head and will just end up breaking things unless you start out by having a decent understanding of what you're doing.

You can see it, but can't write to that folder until rooted.

No, not again. 7th thread on the subject?
Reported.

1) Superuser.apk doesn't go to /system/bin
2) You should use that link I gave you yesterday, rather than making yet another thread to ask the same question.
http://jaxov.com/2010/10/root-android-2-2-1-frg83-google-nexus-one/
PLEASE READ THAT AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, AND YOU WILL HAVE A ROOTED PHONE.
That will root your device and install the su binary.
You've asked the same question about 7 times now. You have been given the answer. Please search, use the wiki, and use google, as I did, to get that link.
Again, the links in my signature may give some help for future in the etiquette of asking questions.

This has got to be like the 10th post I have seen from you asking the same thing over and over. If you want root, you need to either run the 1-click or you need to unlock your bootloader. You cannot and will not just magically get root by adding an apk. Do some reading and quit asking the same stupid ass questions.

[Q] Non-OS services running on startup

Folks, please be gentle if I'm asking something obvious... I'm new to Android. The question is if there is a way to disable some non-OS services (such as Skype, HeyTell, Google BlogService, HeyWire etc) from starting after my ROOTED DS7 is powered off/on. I'm UNIX guy, so was looking for something like /etc/rcX.d start scripts but was not able to find it. Advanced Task Killer for Froyo cant disable those permanently as well. Basically I need to stop it manually every time I turning on my DS7.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It has been a while since I went into an android installation, but the install packages have the extension .apk. There is a folder on the device that contains the .apk files that are installed when the device is reset. If you go into that folder you can rename the .apk to .bak or whatever, and then do a hard reset, the programs won't install. Maybe someone with a rooted device can provide the directory names.

Thank you for the reply. There is a directory /system/app with bunch of apk(s) in it. However if I rename those which are starting after the reboot wouldn't it disable app permanently? It is not my goal, honestly. I just trying to find the way to use those on demand basis. Thank you again.

Titanium backup can freeze those app so they won't run, and then un-freeze them if you want.

Thanks a lot! Worked as a charm!

[Q] Android 4.0.X for Streak7 [WIP] Bug? I think.

OK if you all don't know as to what Dev forum post I am talking about here it is. Android 4.0.X for Streak7 [WIP]
Ok now that out of the way, why I am posting this here is because the 10 post rule. And as I have been a member for a bit now. I have not needed to post anything because the look and read thing has got me all the info I needed.
So I am posting this here in hopes that someone in the dev forum may see it and help.
I am running the B3 and everything work ok. Outside of the cam but hell I never used that thing ever. But what I have found is that even thought it has SuperUser installed on it I can run RomManager just fine out side of it not flashing a working Recovery but that's cool. I can do that with fastboot. And Tibackup works fine.
What i have hit when I use any Root File managers when I try to mount the file system into R/W it fails and then says I don't have root. What's the deal is it a real "Root" on this beta or it more like a Admin account?
Because when I try to ADB trem into it at the recovery it will not remount the file system as r/w only can do that on the SD Card and the user space. 2nd thing I have found is that things like the weather under ground app in the bar does not load at start up. And the last thing is that the brightness will not auto set it's self no mater where I move the slider to that recheck that. But the brightness bar it's self does work just not the Auto part.
So I hope one of the devs or something can post there could cross link to this post thanks.

Would have been better to post this in the actual thread about it.
Its not a problem with su, thats right just fine, its mounting system that is the issue.

I would have if XDA did not make you have to post 10 times to post in a dev forum. So I see that some people still sees what they want and discard the rest. As I said in the first part of my post that was what I would done if I could have.

As for this part I was not saying that Superuser was massed up. I was just pointing out that most of the Superuser ie. root stuff can be done. Here is what makes something an Admin level in *inx or System ie Root or god. Is that in admin you can do all most everything you can with Root but some low level file system stuff can't be done with an Admin level account. Where as Root you have full god like control of the whole OS. So you can kill you whole system by massing around at that level.
But thanks for posting.

Just install CWM and save yourself a lot of time.

Installing custom kernel on temp root? (AT&T Vivid)

I'm considering buying a HTC Vivid from AT&T, from what I've read, the bootloader for the AT&T Vivid is locked, but it is possible to temporarily unlock it. I also plan to overclock my phone, I've found custom kernels that can overclock the vivid, they say that the phone needs to be rooted. But is a temp root going to give me enough access to install the overclocking kernel? I have jailbroken consoles and HP Touchpad, but I haven't really played with Android or Linux. So if please excuse me if my terminology is used incorrectly. Thanks.

You can unlock the bootloader through HTC'S dev site and get perm root. Just follow the superguide in the development section and you will be good to go.

Thanks for the info. I'm new to this, after I rooted the phone, how do I install the app? I have an apk file and I tried using the Android Central SWM, but it doesn't work with my phone. I have also enabled the Applications from Unknown sources. But there's no way for me to install.
Edit: I saw that it installed an app called Superuser, but I can't install any apps through Superuser, do I need to put the apk file in a specific folder in order for Superuser to recognize it? Thanks.

you have some reading to do......

That was helpful. I was just looking for a way to install apps to my phone. So far it seems like maybe I can modify the .bat script from the temp root method to install .apk files that way, but that seems risky and I don't want to mess up my brand new phone.
Seems like this is the wrong site to ask, this is a developer site, so I guess I'll ask this somewhere else.

no, you just need to use some logic, and this little thing called SEARCHING
you want to install apps on your phone?
you just put them on your sdcard or download them from the phone itself, open a file manager, browse to the apk file and click on it. it will ask to install..... you are making this out to be way harder than it is. and you did not need root for that to take place. its a function of the OS, you dont need the computer in order to install apps.....this is all basic android stuff you could learn by using GOOGLE....
and you are right, this is a developers site, it is not a hold-my-hand site for noobs.....

No need to ask anywhere, google is your friend. Installing apps is very easy, and rooting isn't even necessary. As PG already said, it's as easy as using a file explorer, and also checking that box in the settings about unknown sources.
http://maketecheasier.com/install-applications-without-the-market/2011/01/28

Thanks for the link, those methods are definitely easier than what I did. I edited the temp root .bat file to copy the .apk file to the phone's internal memory, then I used Astro brower to browse to that directory, then install it from there.

dude, all you have to do is plug in your phone and when it asks you set it to disk mode...it shows up as another drive on your computer...you dont need to use any kind of bat file....this is all seriously generic and basic android usage. as i stated before:
you have some reading to do......
its not to be mean, but seriously, you are asking stuff like this in the same breath as ROOTING your phone. this type of stuff isnt meant to be taken lightly or without some READING and comprehension. know what you are doing to your phone before you royally screw it up....
at this rate, i have a feeling it wont be long before we see a help thread....

I don't understand either. Why not do it the apk way? That is the easiest method. It takes like twenty second to allow unknown sources, go to file manager, click on the apk and install it.
