Long story short, gmail kept freezing on me so I used Titanium to uninstall it and now gmail doesn't show up in the market and the apk's that I download don't give me the option to install them.
Any ideas?
I was able to get the Android email program to sync with gmail, but I still can't figure out how to get the actual gmail program back on.
Sorry, didn't mean to hit "Thanks". Don't know where you got the gmail apks, but try putting one of them in system/app then reboot.
You also might want to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937752 but just run the commands for gmail

I assume you're running stock rooted.
Try this,
1. Download the signed Gapps.zip from here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642189 its in the second post.
2. Now from the zip file you downloaded. Extract the Gmail.apk and GmailProvider.apk. Using root explorer. Copy those files into system/app
(of course make sure you mount r/w)
4. Reboot your nook and you should have Gmail again.
Make sure you back everything up as always.
It worked for me. Hope it works for you as well.

I'd recommend doing what racks11479 said. But to see the system folder, get Root Explorer. It lets you see the deeper folders. Just don't break anything while you are down there.

I got Root Explorer, followed those steps, and nothing. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
You might not have the correct permissions set.
If you are able to ADB to your device. I've modified the honeycomb market install script from "jleecong" @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937752 for the Eclair Gmail only.
All you gotta do is extract the zip to your adb directory and run (double click) "GmailInstall.cmd" and you should be good to go.

Wondering if the gmail from eclair might be the answer to a similar problem I have. Been rooted since version 1.0 and gmail app would sync nicely. Rooted 1.1 using the nookdev instructions and that is working fine except gmail simply doesn't sync unless I go into accounts, reenter my account data and the sync screen comes up and then it'll sync. The android email app works just fine. Syncs seamlessly. So would replacing things help?
You could always google it

Question about your script.... I have a Nook Color that I have rooted and all set up. I'd like to pass it over to my buddy, but need to change my gmail info for his. Would this essentially allow me to do that without having to unroot, restore, reroot then reregister?
I am looking for a way to completely root a device with my B&N and gMail info, then allow someone else to register/set-up the device with their info. Possible?
If you just go into settings and About Device and do a "Erase and Deregister" you should still have root. And once rebooted they will have the option of registering the device for the first time.
They will have to go through the LogicZoom welcome process as well. So you might want to guide them in that direction if they don't know what needs to be done to get youtube and market working for the first time.
I've just done it myself to see if it works and yes it does.
Please use my suggestions as a guide. All actions you take are "solely your responsibility"
Just make sure you do a backup "just in case" before you try this.

Thanks, I will try this again with them. I wish I could be in person, but this is a phone support situation for me (grrr).
From the way they described to me, the "Erase and Deregister" worked for the B&N part but my gmail account was still there. So it didn't completely remove their stuff. Google Talk and the Calendar are still stuck on my gmail and not theirs.
Will try again though, and if anyone else has input I would appreciate it, thanks!

I renamed my the stock Gmail.apk to Gmail.apk.old and the same for the stock GmailProvider.apk.
Then I did as you suggested through Root Explorer. Now I have no Gmail at all in my apps list after a reboot.
I tried to launch it directly from Root Explorer but it says "There was an error parsing the package."
I renamed the new files Gmail.apk.new and GmailProvider.apk.new and renamed old files back to their original. I rebooted and Gmail popped up again in my apps list.
Why did your method for the new Gmail files work for someone else but not for me? What went wrong?

I have some non-market apps that i downloaded on my computer. Is there a certain place I am supposed to copy the .apk on the phone or am I supposed to use a program? I've heard some thing about AppsInstaller but I am still not 100% sure about how the process goes. I've got the OCLF and Titanium back-up working so I'm pretty sure my root is good as well.

Go into the Market and search for "Astro". Its a file manager. Once you've downloaded it open it up and go to whatever directory that you saved the apk's to. Select whichever apk you want to install, and the default application installer should come up. Also if you have the Vibrant you could use the stock file manager. Hope this answers your?.

Mine is in data/app, not system. Maybe try putting it there....?
Did you try installing it from your SD, without putting it in the internal memory first?
Also, after putting it in data/app or system/app, you could try simply rebooting without installing via Package Installer, and see if it shows up in your app drawer.

If you have problems installing other APK's. Find the "Allow Non-Market Apps" Checkbox in NookColor Tools (it's in the app drawer).
Uncheck the box, recheck the box. NC might need a reboot but it worked for me. I tried installing with Astro and Appinstaller and neither would let me until I did this little trick.

copy it to system/apps. Rebooting means hold power button down till a prompt asking if you would like to power down the device comes up. Hit yes. Device is now off. Hold power button again till it starts up. Release power button. It's booting up again....hence the term rebooting.
i feel like an idiot after this but here it is. I tried replacing the android market with the new version. I placed the file, renamed Vending.apk, into system/apps. prior to that I removed the old market apk and placed it in another folder. needless to say the new version didn't work after a reboot, and I then tried reverting back with the old apk, and of course that doesn't work now either. so now I'm marketless
please don't tell me have to flash back to stock and reroot. it has to be a simple fix, right?
any help as always is appreciated
I used the non-themed one from this thread: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...05022-who-going-re-revisited-vending-apk.html
If I recall, I opened Astro and installed it with that app's installer. I think it even came up with an option to install, update or uninstall. If it wasn't Astro, it was Root Explorer as those are the only two apps I use to install apks.
Good luck.

Thanks. I'm using root explorer, and installation fails. It goes through the installation process, but just fails at the end. So I still don't know exactly what the problem is.
Well, in the world of android phones, it seems that usually means there's a version of vending.apk somewhere on the phone that needs to be removed.
Also, take a long look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872621
Just copying the Vending.apk in /system/app is normally fine.
Did you check the file permissions of the new file?
Needs to be at least rw-r--r--
After reboot you should see the market in your apps.

I had the exact same thing happen a couple weeks ago... There may have been a solution, but I just did a Titanium backup, reset to factory settings, re-rooted, and restored Titanium. The whole process probably took less than what you've spent asking for a solution in this thread

it'll probably take me a bit longer than you to go through the rooting process again, but I guess it'll give me a chance to update my Nc to 1.01.

Just in case any of you are like me and prefer the 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) Email app better than the 3.0.0.1 (Honeycomb) Email app, I thought I would share the APK.
Some ROMs have the Honeycomb email app installed by default, and for me it does not play nice when you are not in a good data area or on WiFi.
Warning, this is intended for 2.3+ ROMs, not Froyo...
I installed it by following this process:
1. Use Titanium Backup to uninstall the Email app
2. Use Root Explorer to move the attached Email.apk into the /system/app folder in R/W mode
3. Reboot
4. Goto Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Email to clear all app data
5. Setup your email account settings, and viola!

Glad I could help.
I used adb to take the existing file, push it to /system/app/
Then mounted as rw
changed group to root (was showing sdcard)
chmod to 755
mv -p back to sdcard
remounted as ro
Then went to root explorer
mount as rw
ran Email.apk (ran as an installer)
when prompted I selected DONE (open will give FC)
mount as ro
Went to Titanium backup, where Email now showed in backup history. Clicked to install (Only choice was data only).
opened terminal emulator
su
sync
reboot
email now works
I may have done some un-needed steps, but that is what worked for me.
I made the stupid mistake of moving the original Email.apk to my SD card with a mv command and borked the ownership and group ownership, as well as the permissions of the file.
So far all is working great, and email push works just great!
Thanks!

Removed some bloatware via Titanium Backup, and of course, I got trigger happy.
process com.motorola.contacts (Contacts force closes)
process com.motorola.conversations (text messaging force closes)
So I have Root Explorer and got a hold of a system dump for Bionic.
I started by moving YahooContacts.apk (one of the apps I guess I shouldn't have uninstalled) back to the /system/app folder...but it doesn't show up anywhere as an installed app (just that the .apk was moved). If I try to actually select the .apk and try to install it says "Application did not Install" but the .apk IS moved.
Processes still don't work after moving.
I would appreciate any help, at this point I can't text or place calls. Thanks in advance, this forum helped me with the entire root process.
You cannot freeze/remove ANY of the other authenticator apps, it will cause contacts to freeze. I ran into that on the Droid 3.
First off there is no need to delete/remove, Freezing them accomplishes the same thing but most importantly it allows you to reverse what you have broken by Defrosting it. Do yourself a favor stop deleting and start freezing. If 16GB is not enough internal storage for you then you might consider an external HD from Seagate!!!!!!! LOL
I realize I made a big mistake. That's totally on me But it's in the past
Do I have any options to get this working again? I am definitely going to freeze apps in the future.
If I did delete an authenticator process, is there any way I can get those back? Would they be available through a system dump?
I believe that you need to make sure the permissions are correct after reinstalling an apk to the system/app folder. I've never done this, so I'll let you do the research. I've heard you can use root explorer to do this or a script with terminal emulator. Sorry I can't help more
I have the exact same problem, and am attempting to troubleshoot this issue on a different forum, however I am not allowed to post links but I'll try and keep you updated.
Edit: It's not a problem with permissions, I've made sure that they're correct with root explorer. It seems to be a Bionic-specific issue. I might just return it at this rate.
Thankfully, there's an unroot to use. I think im in the same boat. re-added all the yahoo related .apk and .odex and set permissions/owner, still nothing. Unroot and hope the Verizon dude is in a good mood!
Except now ADB is throwing "ERROR: ADB could not be granted root access" when trying to unroot
excellent.
Someone in the thread I was talking about had some success, its on droidforums dot net, droid bionic forum, bionic support, HELP! accidentally deleted IMSCServer from Droid Bionic thread. Maybe you can try something I haven't.

It really begs the question why anything with Yahoo is required by the system. Furthermore, why did they make it so frustratingly hard to reinstall system apps on the Bionic? Really disappointed in Motorola for this.
Here is the fix for Contacts, restore these files and set correct permission, reboot and presto Contacts fixed
That did it.. I have been looking for the YAHOO Contacts.apk file for 3 days with a bloody wortheless phone that I spent 300 shells on!
BTW I agree with Glimmerman, WHY DID YAHOO get involved in contacts? Talk about a sneaky way in integrate them.

Wait - WHERE are we putting the Contact fix and do we extract it once we've moved it?

I'm confused as to where to put this. I downloaded it and it downloaded into tapatalk downloads. Where do I move it and do I extract it?
