Places app disappeared KaosFroyo v23

I had the places app on my home screen yesterday and now it somehow says when I open it, that I don't have that app installed. The icon is still there, looks like a place holder icon. So, how do I get it back?

I don't want to sound condescending, but you shouldn't start a new thread for this kind of question. Instead, post it in the KaosFroyo thread. Also make sure to search before you post anything.

Sorry, at most forums I visit, creating a new thread would be the best way to get an answer instead of adding it to an existing thread. I guess this place is different. I'll remember that next time =]
Also, I did a search, came up empty. I'm not new to the internet.... I search then ask. That's why I posted here. Thanks.

Actually he's right about your post...should be in themes n apps or in kaos thread not Dev. Stuff
But into mraket and uninstall then reinstall your app

I want to start porting themes.

I want to start porting themes... but i really have no clue where to start. Is there anyone who could point me in the right direction or to a thread that can teach me some basics? I have a decent idea of how it would work i think but i dont know exactly what all in a theme needs to be modified.

Take a look at the sticky at the top of this forum.

I never messed with xml's to much, I was also trying to figure out what was what. We had a couple of guys around that were awesome at editing those files. I think your best bet would be trial and error as there are so many items inside an xml, but I think the description should be the same throughout all xml's.

This is great, but would they flash correctly on the Thunderbolt? I think the TB's boot animations dont go into the 'standard' folder if I am not mistaken......

Really? You posted a link to this very site, and not to mention it is a thread that is a year old. If you had done any research you would've noticed that BlindType was purchased by Google.

Agreed...blindtype is very cool but without a leaked apk this thread is just pointless link to an old thread...

I think that system/media/Bootanimation.zip is the file that needs to be replaced. After download change any different file name to Bootanimation.zip and put in this folder using root explorer.
Sound correct anyone?

I was super excited then to be disappointed by the lack of link.

Dude, stop spamming. 5 of the most recent 10 threads in this section are yours and are literally pointless. All you are doing is linking other threads that are either old news or can be found elsewhere with a simple click of the search button. I'm sure you're just trying to be helpful but really all you are doing is adding to the clutter.

How to get new themes/general

Hi, kinda new to the android scene and loving my RAZR I! Still coming to grips with things you can do to it do would like a discussion on what and how to do things.
Look forward to your posts.

Stop taking drugs. Thank you.

Well, for starters, you could take a look in the various sections and topics around here to get a clue of what you can and can't do. No need to open up a topic for that unless you have a very specific question that hasn't been answered yet. But you don't seem to have a specific question so go ahead and take a look around here. Oh, and welcome on XDA!

Can make your android look really good with no root
