Replacing uninstalled bloat APKs

In the event I want to do a system restore, I would, at this point, need to push back the APKs back to their applicable place.
Where exactly would that be?
Would the command just be adb push or adb copy blah.apk /path/to?
I'd like to have this as a thread for those looking for the same info, at least until an SBF is released.

I'm releasing a one-click unroot that restores all original files today. Standby.

That would be awesome. I'm having trouble restoring Backup assistant 2.3.4, Backup assistant client 1.0 and Guided Tours 2.3.4.
Titanium just hangs indefinitely...

Sweet.

Titanium Backup can't restore applications that don't contain a classes.dex, which is most of the /system/app/ folder. That's why I recommend my bloat removal script instead.

Wonderful... And I uninstalled it after I backed it up.

Pretty much there... still cleaning up some stuff...

I guess I could support /sdcard-ext, but is it really a problem to copy to internal?

Okay, first version of this tool, be kind and let me know if there are any problems with it.
Also: NO GUARANTEES. If it does something that breaks your phone, I am not liable. Use at your own risk. Etc., etc.

Link fixed, sorry about that

First of all Thank you a lot for writing this tool, I hope this can fix my problems. But I am currently having an issue where i get this message ERROR: /sdcard/d3unroot/ backup doesn't exist or is incomplete! I downloaded the folder system/apps folder that it told me to and extracted it into sdcard/d3unroot and mad sure it was on charge only, But I still get this error. any help would be greatly appreciated

Fascinating, I'm getting the same error. I assume we extract the file into d3unroot?

Do you have a linux version?

He already posted it on the 1st page.

A lot of people are having a problem with this depending on the version of busybox installed, so I'm releasing a new version tomorrow that should address these issues. Hang tight, folks.

I ran your Root Tool's 5 times and it didn't work once. (trying to restore system apps)
I tried every different way of having the original system/app files on my SD Card/Internal Storage. Help please, or include better instructions

Google Play Store app

I'm on the CM9 alpha, & since they announced Google Play Store, I can no longer use the "market" website. It just says that my account doesn't have a device. But when I look at the error that says, "don't see your device," it says:
If you don’t have the Google Play Store app pre-installed on your device, contact your carrier or manufacturer for further assistance.

Sweet. Well, I see an apk over in the Infuse forums... will this work on our Captivates?

When I opened the app store this morning it updated me to play store automatically (i'm on aokp). So you can try to wait it out and probably get the update soon.
but to answer your question, that .apk should work.

So you just saw a notification that you were being upgraded or....? Market interface does look different for me, but I don't think the shortcut to launch it has changed.
Are you able to use the Market/Play website?
*Edit - I just fired up Market again to check & got a Google Play Store license agreement. I went to My Apps to check for updates, but still am unable to use the website (from my desktop - still "no device").

It worked for me

Just installed the .apk from the Infuse forums, & while it's functioning, I can't buy any apps. The error:
An error occurred while creating your order

Also still don't have any devices listed under my account at play.google.com
**Update - came back from lunch & everything's working; even the website.

Still no update for poor ol' me..

i installed the app, and now the market app is no longer in my app drawer.
Edit: a couple reboots fixed it

Don't try to install it. instead you need to paste it into your system/app folder with permission rw-r--r--. you might want to backup your old market apk just in case something goes wrong.

Mine has yet to update itself too. I found this. Probably going to update.

Just Wipe Cache of Market using Titanium backup and Re-launch it..
It will ask for License thingi.. Click Accept and You will get the Update soon..

Delete it using Titanium Backup, I believe that will do the trick.

Use ADB, it's in system/app/Swype.apk
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd system/app
rm Swype.apk
exit
exit
adb remount
adb push (file location on pc) system/app/
adb reboot
and thats it
***edit** well thats how it is done but scratch that because i just looked in my system/app/ directory and Swype.apk wasnt there anymore i put my own there on old B.O. but i dont know where it is now and forgot where i found the old one, anybody?

I have the lastest swype beta installed and the apk is in /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk
same file name from the BO2.0 zip.
or just use rom toolbox or TI to uninstall it. the site also states that you need to remove /system/lib/libswypecore.so

thanks forgot about the lib its been a while,
well you heard the man get crackin

Just installed it. Grab another keyboard before you try this. BO only has Swype. No other keyboards.
I uninstalled all Swype from system, then deleted anything else that said Swype from the app folder. Pushed the themed Swype to the phone with adb, then reboot. Then for some reason I had to go in with root explorer and physically install the Swype from the apps folder.
Crude and it downgraded my beta to the most recent, not the current version. The theme maker states that the latest version keeps fc'ing and won't take the themes. Oh well, I like it. Goes good with my lunar theme.

If you want to do this yourselves.
1st Download and install xposed framework installer to your phone (root needed)
Get it here
Check framework is the latest in framework
.Then in download section of xposed framework search for resflux and install
Or get it here
Then in modules section of xposed enable resflux and reboot
Open reflux and select laboratory
Then click the app you want nodded
Then simply use the up to select and change texts. Colours back rounds etc.
Then to apply . Press back and reboot
Use only png images for back rounds
IL give a more detailed guide when I get to my pc.

Has anyone tried this yet? I just tried and i changed colors of alot of things in gear manager on phone and rebooged has in still phone this same.When i went back into theming app the colors where still changed to what i changed them to but in gear manager they didnt change.I have it checked in exposed so that isnt the problem.Do you need to clear cache of gear manager or whatever app your trying to theme? It seems like a good app if it works rite.
So i just looked on the developers page and it was confirmed working on a few devices and alot of stock roms.I have galaxy s4 with hyperdrive rom so maybe it doesnt work on my phone.

Practical experience is the best lesson: Why don't you give us a typical example with screenshots how you, for example changed background color. Assume that being the easiest to do and good start...Thanks!

Need help with Layers Manager Update........ please

If anyone out there can help me, I'd really appreciate it.
I have a Nexus 6, Verizon, running Pure Nexus 5.1.1 (screenshot below)
I've been getting this irritating message for weeks now, stating the "Layers Manager" can't update via the Google Play Store. I don't know how to fix this and it's become quite annoying every night when I update my apps before bed.
Screenshot of said problem below.
I'm by no means an expert at ROM management, but I went from rooted stock to this ROM because I got tired of the google security update not working, due to my being rooted. I really like this ROM and this is the only problem I've had with it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

in the "what's new" section of the play page it says for error code 505 is caused when trying to update over the v4.3 beta #4 version being a system app. I can't remember 100% if pure nexus rom has it installed in such a way but essentially the error is fixed by uninstalling the old version and installing the new version.

Thanks so much for this tip.
I just tried uninstalling the app, but it won't let me. I went into apps-all-layers manager, but there is no uninstall option

yea since its error 505 its installed as a system app so you would need to use titanium backup or some other "debloating" tool to remove it. Make sure you backup your theme preferences inside the app so you don't have to resetup everything.
For titanium backup you would open the Backup/Restore tab and find the layers app in the list. First off hit the Backup! button so you'll have something to fall back on in case of problems, then hit the red Un-install button. It may ask for a confirmation. Then you should be able to go and install the google play updated version.

Trying this now, thank you.
Will post update.
**UPDATE**
I tried what you said and it worked!
I uninstalled Layers via Titanium and then tried to update via Play Store, but got the same error. So I rebooted the phone, then went back into Play Store and it installed. Hopefully this will be a fix in the future. I don't know what Layers even is. I don't ever use it.
Thank you so much for your help!
