How to restore deleted (stock) System Apps?

Let me apologize first of all as I come from 5 years of using Windows Mobile knwoing what I am doing (cooking ROMs included) and now just got my Galaxy /Android a couple weeks ago and am blank at all of it.
After messing up with some system files and (useless) stock applications (like I removed stk.apk and other stuff) I decided to do a full hardware reset as the phone started getting random crashes.
But after the full reset things only got dramatically worse. I quickly realized all the missing system apps are still missing (I thought they'd be "restored") and basically nothing works, just crashes one after the next, cant use anything.
So, a hardware system reset on the galaxy, doesnt really reset anything except user installed apps and settings... amazing
Can someone please tell me (the idiot here, I know) how to do a real full restore where all system files, all missing files and positively everything gets back in the Tab as it was originally?
What a flippin' nightmare... Thanks in advance very much!

deletion of Stk.apk causes FC's in phone and acore.
if you don't have a backup of this apk, download a rom (like Modaco or Overcome),
open with winzip and extract the Stk.zpk from system/app and push it to /system/app on your Tab using adb (remember set the permissions to 644 after push).
A hardreset NO restores deletions on /system
Note: Other files that are not deleteable in /system/app are: Browser.apk, Email.apk, TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and TwWallpaperChooser.apk
Note (2): For your convenience, i attach the Stk.apk file from Overcome-1.1.3. Try it
Note (3): In order to restore ALL system data and apps, you need to restore a full rom.

OK, first of all a big thanks for both file and info. Aside from the Stk.apk, the biggest thing that made me run into problems was trying to update my Contacts.apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907399
things didnt work out for me and even after restoring the original files (Contacts.apk and Contacts.odex) nothing really worked again, reason for wich I tried a system reset.
Now, do I need to re-root the Tab or its still rooted, and can I perform the operations easily with Root Explorer like I did before? You mentioned to use adb and set permissions to 644 after push but, sorry again for the ignorance, I have no clue what adb is nor what/how to set permissions. Pathetic to be ignorant huh?
My last 2 questions are, where could I find the original Contacts.apk and Contacts.odex and if needed a full ROM to do a total restore?... hopefully I wont need to get to that point?...
Thanks a million again.

hi,
try to download overcome-1.1.3, and extract all the deleted apk's from system/app directory. push into the /system/app in your tab.
the apk's of overcome are deodexed (you don't need the .odex files). after that, wipe your data/cache and reboot.
if this don't works, try with roto rom

Hmmmm thanks again but I think Im beyond all this. I dont have a file manager on my system, just realized I deleted the useless stock one and had repalced it with Root Explorer and ES File Explorer. I have them on my External SD Card to install them again but withou a file manager or an app installer cant get to them. And I tried download an app installer from the Market and get Framework errors non-stop and downloads do not initialize... I think Im beyond a quick fix... how do I get my hands on a stock full ROM to restore everything... and how? What a nightmare... gotta tell you, I love Windows Mobile... I love it... never ran into anything like this in the past 5 years of using it... never...
Thanks again!

use "adb" in order to access to your tab from your desktop pc.

Cant. Dont even know if I need Kies installed or not (I did have it installed) but adb just asks me to connect the phone and thats it... its connected aready... this is desperating...

OK I did manage to connect with adb but, how to I install applications? I can navigate to my SD card where I have ES File Explorer and Root Explorer but dont seem to be able to install them... Also if i try to copy Stk.apk I get immediately an failute message... this is crazy...

OK so I managed to install ES File Explorer and Root Explorer with adb... crazy process. It seems my phone is still rooted after the reset. From the phone I copied Stk.apk back to /system/apps where it was before deleted.
But needless to say nothing got fixed... not sure if Stk.apk is now "actually" installed or just there in the folder. But still nothing works and crashes every 10 seconds... logs provider, dialer, phone, framework, contacts... its all a firework of crashes...

Given that you've hard reset your device already, you are pretty much wasting your time trying to "fix" what you broke by messing with /system, and you should really just flash another ROM.
My suggestion would be to follow the advice on this thread.

Dave

Yeap, that what i did and it was succesfull. My only issue is that Id like to convert my Tab's file system to ext4 to improve speed and performance and then update to the 1.4Ghz OC Kernel. I have no idea how to do those 2 things... actually Im not sure I understand the difference between a ROM and a Kernel... I assume a Kernel is part of the engine of the ROM itself but I have no idea how to perform the update. I read countless threads and its all scattered info without finding one straight to the point guide on how to do it...
Thanks again

Part of your problem is that you are trying to run before you can walk! Your experience with WinMo is of pretty much no use to you in the Linux/Android world, and until you get a better handle of how everything hands together you are always going to feel a little lost.
Personally, since your device is now up and running again, I'd suggest that you hold off doing anything else for while, until you get a chance to catch up with some of the basics. Once you are a little more familiar, you can then start with something simple like flashing the MoDaCo kernel (instructions here) to support EXT4, and to give you access to ClockworkMod recovery.
IMO, whilst EXT4 and O/C kernels will give you a performance boost, they are not as noticeable as jumping from a shipping ROM to one of the JMx development builds that Samsung has put out. If you are running JMI, you should already be feeling that the device has got much snappier.

Yes Dave you are right, right and right again!!! Thank you for the wisdom and advice!!!
The main thing I have understood with today's messy experience was that the actual ROM files are never deleted or damaged as long as you dont access them via a rooted tool and start deleting them. Now I understand that Titanium Backup, Sprint Backup (my favorite), My Backup Pro and others, only back-up and restore what the user installs on top of the ROM itself. So a full "reset" wipes all that data but leaves the ROM files as they always were. If they got damaged in the process, they'll still be damaged till a a full ROM restores all system data, now I get it.
What I still dont get is the issue of bakcing up and restoring. In Windows Mobile, a toll like SPB Backup has a simple option called FULL BACKUP and that backs-up everything on top of the ROM and then restores everything after a full reset on top of the ROM again like it was before. The problem I have with apps like Titanium Backup, Sprint Backup, My Backup Pro, etc... is that there is not a "BACKUP ALL" option... one has to backup "data", "settings", "apps" and I always feel stuff will be left behind and then not restored.
Till I find an app or way to do a simple one-click "backup everything" and then "restore evertything" I always feel vulnerable to changes I make to the Tab that may get it unstable or corrupt and then not being able to be restored properly without a full ROM Flash and then re-installing all from scratch.
With WinMo, I could do all sorts of crazy experiments and tweaking and after that, a registry restore or back-up restore would bring me back my phone to exactly like it was with all my stuff and configuration in a matter of seconds or minutes. Thats what I need to find out with this Tab/Android and then Im ready to be able to explore messing up with this knowing I can always easily go back within minutes to the state I had before with all my apps and settings.
This is what I need to learn next how to do! Trampoline without a safety net is not a good idea. Ive alwways loved WinMo for the ease of backing up and restoring whatever I was doing on my handsets withjout ever worrying to put myself at risk to loose it all. I need to learn this on Android and its definitely more intricate!

just put sdcard into your samsung tab and flash modaco kernel amd it will automatically covert to ext4, after that you can flash the 1.4ghz kernel you wanted.

no...you need a kernel to flash via odin, you need sdcard mounted so that it will backup all files automatically while converting to ext4..head over to modaco kernel section amd follow the instruction.

What you want is a Nandroid backup, which you can only make from a recovery image like Clockworkmod recovery.
Essentially, this does exactly what you want, but you need to flash a new kernel (e.g. the MoDaCo kernel) which supports Clockwordmod.

When I delete stk.apk (for me useless useless useless) the first thing that happens immediately is that when I hang-up on a call made or received, the Tab vibrates then freezes for about 5 seconds then tells me the phone application has crashed. I tried this with 2 ROMs now as a test and its guaranteed. More even, if you use a program like SYSTEM APP REMOVER you can emulate the removal of an app by disabling it... it only takes me to disable STK and a reboot for the phone not to work. cant get rid of it, that simple

[TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0C 2.3.7 Build

Hey folks,
This is a completely new build, with all the new changes baked in. We wanted to do a semi-official test release to collect bugs and hopefully do a formal official release with everything settled. The main pain point is the CSV files (see pre-install prep).
So a brief overview:
New acoustic routing code baked in. Should fix most if not all audio routing problems, and will provide more debugging if stuff does go wrong. Also allows for more granular tweaking, see the CSV files.
GPS fixes for GB - GPS not only works in GB now, but it doesn't kill sleep! I was able to use GPS, get a solid lock, and put the device to sleep no problem.
BT should work & well with the new acoustic code. Post results.
RHOD users now have a choice of kernels. .35+ all have the new acoustic - so .35, .39, 3.0 and 3.1 are all fair game now... This is bundled with .27!!
Keep in mind, autobuild .27 kernels will produce no audio in this build... Obviously the bundled kernel will work, and the absolute newest .27 autobuild kernel does work now - Feb.27 2012 or newer.
rootfs tweaks - first, it will detect which kernel you're on (.27 or .35+) and automatically apply the correct firmware. Second, is it will always copy/extract the modules... failures there were getting annoying, and this is surefire if brute-force...
Few Easter egg apk's...
Probably a lot I'm forgetting, this might change
Pre-Install Prep REQUIRED!!!​
This step is crucial, and I forgot all about it! You must copy all of the *.CSV file from your WinMo ROM - these are in the \Windows\ directory. There's a very easy way to do this. It involves the Total Commander app for WinMo (Direct Link for the perpetually lazy...) (included in EnergyROM and others probably).
Now you're in Total Commander looking at your \Windows\ directory. Whew... lots of files. Fear not! Hit the "CTRL" button, then the green "Plus" button. This opens the Select/Unselect files dialog. Put in *.csv, press "select" and voila. All CSV files are selected. Now - File -> Copy/Move -> I want you to copy these (should be 10) files to the ROOT of your SD card. No folders!!! This is hardset right now, until we get it all implemented into the build properly. Thanks!
Install​
Assuming you've done the pre-install prep; this is installed just like the other XDAndroid builds - grab your startup.txt (don't forget rel_path= if you don't have it at the root of the SD!), ts-calibration and boot!
Download

Caveat List​​
CDMA users might get a crash in phone.apk and no service on boot. If waiting doesn't resolve the issue, then reboot. Should come up fine...
BT might still be flaky
The CSV files from my TOPA100 are attached for the lazy. I'd like to gather CSV's from each RHOD, I'm curious if any ROM devs have changed them out either... This could get interesting. If you folks don't mind, post up your CSV's, point out differences with mine, etc... We're trying to figure out how to unify these, if possible! Thanks!
Please post back any issues, enjoy!

Can't detect build type... I had that yesterday, and forgot no_partitions in my startup. Perhaps same issue for you? Obviously this setup runs without a partitioned card, and if your card is partitioned you must tell the system that you want to ignore the partitions and just boot looped.

Yes, I have partitioned sd...can you post me right startup, please?
(or I have to add 'no_partitions' to my startup.txt?)

Yes, you have to add "no_partitions" to your startup.txt, as below.

Hi,
First of all thanks for your hard work and i'm so impressed by the way that XDAndroid changed my phone. But in this new version i remarqued that i have some missed applications in Android Market like "Tunis Radar" who is working in FRX07. There is a solution for this problem please ?

From what I gather, there's apps that work in FRX07 that don't work here. Tunis Radar? Is that a GPS app..? Any other apps that don't work?
Logs please.
...Or are you saying they don't show up in the Market?

Hello,
Yes it's a GPS application and i can't see it in android market (it display that they are 15 results but i can see only Sygic (GPS App)).

What about to make this build in CWM?

hi, first of all thanks and happy new year
i was testing it and i can not run "my backup pro" in order to restore all my apps. i have tried versions 2.66 and 3.01 of this app.
anybody with success in this stuff? thanks a lot
maybe with titanium backup?
i know...my backup is from froyo frx07 version but i think it is possible if the app can run and not force closes itself at the begining
what about battery? any longer results in batt life? maybe not...

Fully install V6 Supercharger on ICS

I have been looking through the recent ICS threads and people have had alot of out of memory problems, so I thought I would post this easy to understand tutorial (well I hope it will be easy to understand)
Before starting, on Miroslav's Project Icecream Swift, you need to download busybox installer and install version 1.18.2, busybox included will not correctly determine minfrees.
First download the latest version of V6 at the end of this post, then copy it to your SD card and run it with Script Manager (from the market).
Choose your prefered scrolling speed and in the latest version its pretty much automated, you just have to say yes no a few times but it will auto detect the best settings based on the RAM of the device.
Also do not superclean and reboot, we need to do something else before we reboot.
Ensure you have a file explorer that can view the /system partiton before continuing.
On your phone browse to http://android.mimic.ca
Then click browse and choose your file explorer, and find services.jar in /system/framework then upload it.
After this the site will modify the services.jar and offer a download for it, to make it easy lets just use the update.zip so select that and download it.
Using the stock browser atleast it will go to /sdcard/download.
After this reboot to recovery, scroll to mounts and storage and mount /system manually (when I did not do this it didn't write the modified file) then install the zip.
Wipe dalvik cache and reboot, first boot will take a long time while its upgrading applications then run the V6 supercharger script to confirm you are 100% supercharged and you have your hard to kill or die hard launcher.
Note: On AOKP (atleast this version) because it doesn't have init.d (think its that one) before you first reboot to install services.jar you will need to browse in script manager to /data and find the 99SuperCharger.sh file and make it run on boot to get 100% supercharged.
I don't know if its important but every new rom I use I repatch services.jar just to be safe.
Any questions post here (also if the file doesn't download let me know and I'll upload it and post the link.)
Recovery zips for AOKP and Icecream Swift services.jar can be found below, just mount /system manually and i"nstall zip from sdcard" sorry it took a bit

Thats because swap is not technically used as RAM, what it does is suspends background apps using up RAM, then puts that state in to swap, the apps cannot run from the swap partition, so if you are listening to music and using the browser you will notice this, if you have twitter open, then open a link from a twitter post, the state of twitter gets pushed to the swap partition, to allow the browser to open and run, you then close the browser and it pulls twitter from the swap partition back to RAM giving the illusion of multitasking.
V6 actually gives multitasking by making sure android does not close apps when you have a fair amount of RAM left.

Don't know why but everytime i try to use the script with latest miroslav ICS i got an exception when try to appy supercalculator minfrees then a reboot.
With latest version of the script i can see original minfrees= "1,1,1,1,1,1,1" and when i try to apply new one = Poof! reboot!
Did you installed another busybox or something?... This rom without the script sucks in multitasking matter. (open one app and the others will be closed, is monotasking )

I'll check it on new version of miro's rom tonight when I charge my phone (battery is dead right now) but I normally use the default busybox, it could be that the default has been changed on this rom, download busybox installer from the market and try a version on there, they are all complete so should have no problems on that end, lemme know if it still doesn't work.

My issue was cause by the minfrees calculated by supercalculator (option 10). Using option 2 is ok but, still have 9-5mb free and if i open 2 apps -> one of them close itself (and like you said, swap does't help with that)... so i have to go back to sdsl 2.0 :/

Ok I just resupercharged my phone running miroslav's rom, and I did see your problems, I fixed it downloading busybox installer and using busybox version 1.18.2 and it will detect your minfrees.
Also updated OP with this info and the patched services.jar files.

I did this, but when i run the script for second time to confirm if it worked, it says:
Launcher is DIE-HARD! ie. SUPERCHARGED
but after says:
OOM Grouping Fixes ARE NOT in Effect
...
Current values DON'T MATCH Prior SuperCharge!
this means that didn't worked???

Did you use busy box installer to install busy box or are you just using the version pre installed? The CM9 one will not work with V6.

Using root explorer check /system/etc/init.d and see if there is a supercharger script in there.
If not try supercharging again, reboot and check, if its still not working find the 99supercharger.sh script and select "run on boot" and reboot, it should work after this.

Before you select "run on boot" just try to supercharge again, something could have messed up a little when you applied the minfrees, init.d scripts should run on boot anyway.

Forgot screenshots:

Okay, played for a few minutes and these are my results so far;
AOKP settings crash easily, for example by trying to change processor speeds // Only on first boot
Annoying "Preparing USB Storage" notification, SD card works though // Only on first boot
ROM is snappy and speedy
The install procedure was confusing; I'd like to see it just as a normal flashable ZIP, this is useless rice
Wake on trackpad doesn't work (is the script included, as in the Zeu CM10?) // The script is included in /system/bin/trackballwake, and it works
ROM feels slightly bloated (don't include all these third party apps in the future!) // Removed a lot of bloat by TBP and ROM accually had some space left. It's very crowded stock.
Also, is it allowed to include gapps in this manner?

You have to do same trick as per original CM10, i.e set "keep Wifi on during sleep" to "always". Also after create/sign in your google account, give it a reboot.
Aroma installer, if proper configured allows you to customize your rom while flashing. You can also, after flashing rom, go back to aroma and check system info (model, name, device,storage, cpu, LCD density and other details)
Trackballwake is same as Zeu CM10
The difference on this rom is it creates /data folder during flashing and install whatever non-system apps you want in this folder, leaving more space in system folder. So you can customize the rom as you like by adding/removing apps in the zip file, "data folder", before flashing. I found it useful as every time i flash a rom i have to spend time installing market, gps fix, antutu, terminal emulator and all other stuff i need.
Also apps in the zip file "data/app" folder being user apps you can uninstall them easy after flash.
Most if not all of the supplementary apps got them from other roms posted on this site. They are free anyway and i don't sell them.

Will it work on hboot 1.00 s-on

I can't even connect to my WiFi network, but I can't do that in CM10 either, so I guess it's some router problem or something.

...Do people really want this? I don't get the point of an 'installer'. We have the glorious ZIP flash - the way God meant us to install ROMs.
Configuring ROM during flash? No. I think many people agree that we want a clean AOKP. You could make two zips; one clean AOKP, and one with your bloat/"useful apps" so that those who can't be arsed to download 7 apps (or restore them from earlier) can do so by flashing a zip.

More space? I found myself with a studdering, slow system after a few reboots. Looking in TBP, I noticed that I had 45kB free in /system.
Removed some system apps and I had 3 MB left. Isn't that less than CM10?

Uh yes, but if you read and responded to what I was typing, i said "gapps". Notice the "g", meaning "google" in this case. This is a set of proprietary google-apps, which are to be provided seperatley for all non-AOSP builds due to licensing.

I have decided to wait a while for a more stable JB rom (thanks to Zeubea).
Will post the port for the last nightly built together with a small surprise: MIUI 2.10.26 (quite stable) and 2.11.23 (a lot of diff still required)

[ROM] Debloated BNH5 ported from TMobile, rooted, deodexed, no knox, Download Booster

** DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I DO THIS AS A HOBBY AND SHARE MY FINDINGS IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE FINDS THEM USEFUL. **
** THIS WORKED ON MY DEVICE BUT IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS. APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **​
This is a de-bloated version of the latest KitKat 4.4.2 Rom from T-mobile, i.e. G900TUVU1BNH5. I ported it to ATT and stripped it down to basics. Here is what you will find in this ROM:
Calculator, Calendar, Camera,Clock, Ctontacts, Email, Gallery, Google search and voice, stock browser, Google maps, Memo, Phone and SMS, Music player, My Files, Play Store,Video, Voice recorder, and Youtube.
Everything else has been removed. The zip file size is just under 700MB.
Other features:
1- Pre-rooted and deodexed.
2- Knox, security apps, and updater disabled (your phone will no longer update itself without your knowledge)
3- Call recording enabled.
4- SDcard write restrictions removed.
5- Tethering restrictions removed.
6- Download Bosoter functional on AT&T network.
Requirements:
1- Safestrap or custom recovery.
2- To begin with, you should be on ATT NCE4 rom or a variant of that. It has been reported that this is incompatible with NG3
Download link:
Mega https://mega.co.nz/#!tlcnwBJb!tqGDImZ-HOVKVi_ykMGzNG20qgEOXfS7cxMLdQCtsp0 (version 3)
Instructions:
This is a flashable zip. Boot to recovery to flash it. I strongly recommend a clean wipe before flashing a new Rom.
After reboot, leave the phone alone for 10 minutes before you use it. After the first reboot the data connection takes a while to be recognized. If it does not connect after 10 min, enable and disable airplane mode and it should be fine after that.
There are a few more megs that can be squeezes out of this still so I will update this to a version 2 in the next few days.
A Word about Debloating
There is a misconception that if the size of a ROM is smaller it leaves more usable space on the phone. That is not true. For example, in Galaxy S5, around 2.5GB is earmarked for the system rom, whether it is filled or not. So if you make a very small ROM the space you save is still earmarked for the system and will not show up as free space on your SDcard or whatnot, unless you repartition your /system (bad idea) or manually open some storage space in /system and use it (poor idea). Therefore, in debloating this ROM I mostly removed the elements that constantly run in the background and make the system slow and left a lot of what is not actively used intact, even if they were big in size.

Screenshots
Applications that come with the rom.
V1: Initial release
V2: Baby crying detector and Samsung Dictionary removed
V3: Removed: T-mobile boot up and power off insignia, non-essential media files, non-US-English VODB and sipdb files. non-essential libraries. Fixed a potentially fatal typo in the update script.

Okay, kind of confused here... This is V1 and your other NH5 thread is V2. Whats the difference between this and the other? More "debloated"?

The rom on the other thread is not de-bloated. The file in that thread has every single file that came with the stock ROM. The knox and updater and security files are all in there and just disabled, in case someone just decides to go back to full stock.
In this thread I have removed a long list of apps and directories and libraries. That is why the file here is half the size of the one on the other thread.
I tested this on ANCE base. No FC or hangup. Smooth as butter.

Loving what you're doing here. No-frills, simple rom.
Keep up the good work. I like that the things that normally run in the background are removed, it's great
Edit: Chrome says the file is Malware when I download from MEGA. You probably didn't upload malware but that's what it's telling me. Just letting you know

Chrome is trying to be cautious here because it sees an install script and a file marked as executable inside a zip file and freaks out. Or it could be because MEGA has been associated in the past with malware download. Whatever the reason, this conservative approach results in false alarms which is known for Chrome. See for example: https://torrentfreak.com/chrome-blocks-utorrent-as-malicious-and-harmful-software-140716/
I suggest that you either ignore the chrome warning, click on "show all downloads" and locate the file and recover it, or download it with Firefox. In either case, after you are done downloading, scan it with a reputable virus scanner of your choice. I just downloaded it myself, scanned it with McAfee Enterprise Edition and it is clean.

If you are not using safestrap make sure you have the latest TWRP or CWM installed. If you use safestrap please describe what kind of error you get. You can use the log utility to save the output of the install script on the SD card to see later what the error is.

That is because the sync functions are removed. Use the not-debloated version if you need this feature.
