When I first turned on my wifi xoom after opening the box today, the home page had a generic android where books should be when pressing it said app not installed I also noticed that youtube app isn't there either. Now I'm rooted. Could someone email me those apk files so I can install them manually
[email protected]
ok got the system dump and tried copying apk files and no dice. not showing up in app drawer. Anyone e,se having these issues?
Mine did that until I set up WiFi and added my google account in settings. Then it grabbed the books app and the shortcut worked.
Make sure you are grabbing the .apk and the .odex file for youtube and put it in the /system/app folder. I accidentally deleted my youtube as well and when I put the two files in there is worked fine.

I noticed that my Gallery app is showing I have no "albums" or anything. Up til now, it automatically added folders when I saved a pic, and it had a folder of pics I had on my SD2 card. Unfortunately this also affected the Multi Wallpaper App that I use. Any suggestions?
I am using Tnt 4.3.2.

There have been reported issues all over in regards to media getting deleted on the sd cards. so far IMHO is to create a blank .nomedia file on both the root AND your media folder (just to cover all basis). It has seemed to work for me so far and another tab that I get to work on.
basically use whatever file explorer you use and create a 'new file' and call it .nomedia (dot - nomedia) and that should cover it.
Hope that helps some.
Thanks for the suggestions. But unfortunately, they did not work. Let me give you some more symptoms....
The pics are still on the storage cards. I can see then with my file app. When I try to open one of the pics, jpegs, Gallery will open it, but very slowly... thinking first, going to a blank screen, and then a few seconds later, displaying the file. If I choose to view it with ESFile Explorer, the pic comes up almost immediately. It's almost as if Gallery is unable to acknowledge the existence of the files unless forced to.

I have never gotten photos to show up in gallery. I use JustPictures and it works great. It works with pics on the device and any online services.
.nomedia solution works great

Titanium backup or use es file manager with root access checked off in settings and delete them or any file manager that has root access really but you shouldn't delete them..just move them to a folder on your sd card or rename them to .bak or freeze them with titanium backup..this way if anything goes wrong you will be able to fix it
Hope I helped
/droid3
I remove the video editing app without any problems.
EDIT: I froze all the "authenticator" apps without a problem.
Code:
rm /system/app/VCA*
rm /system/app/IM*
Remove most Vcast
IMPresence that is all over the logcat (hoping to see some battery saving w/ this)

Im not so sure about removing anything blur or moto related. It was said that com.motorola.android.buacontactadapter was removed, but does anyone know what it does? The main thing I dislike the most is the way the camera handles flash and the way it is linked to gallery. (I hate the moto gallery, QuickPic FTW). If camera360 supported FFCs I would be much more likely to use it.

Also - word of warning - do not remove VSuiteApp.apk - I thought it was the VCast Media Manager, but removing it puts the phone into a "Force close" loop, which even ADB can't get you out of (can't SU while in the "force close" loop). I had to reboot the phone to get it working again and restore the APK file to its correct location, which was a pretty tense experience.

I removed the VSuiteApp.apk just fine. No issues here. the force close loop is caused because the application was running at the time of deletion. VCast Media Manager is known as NewBayVault_4.2.99.36.Market.apk . this can happen to any of the apps if they are system apps that are running during time of deletion
@Darksurf -thanks for that, VCast media manager now removed.
Edited my earlier post to add that APK to the list.
On removing VSuiteApp.apk - what does that app do? It seems to be related to the voice recognition system as far as I can see. Be safe to remove if you don't want voice IO, perhaps?
I removed the DLNA app, it started giving immediate problems with repetitive force close notices. Pulled the battery, restarted, never happened again.
So I used Root Explorer to rename most of the same apps everyone is listing as .bak. I then gave my phone a few hours run to see how everything behaved and that I didn't freeze anything important. Once I was satisfied with that I started actually deleting certain apps (ie. blockbuster, zumo, any vzw app) because all we kept saying was "remove the bloatware." Now I'm seeing everyone say we shouldn't have actually removed anything. All that being said, how can I replace the apps I actually deleted and simply go back and .bak them?
Can I delete GlobalNWSwitch.apk? Is this what makes the phone keep on asking whether you want to switch back to Global mode once the signal is lost for a while?
Hi everyone,
Yesterday i had removed my original browser.apk on the samsung galaxy note. I did this because the only browser i wanted to use was dolphin.
After i had removed the original browser.apk and restarted the phone i cannot acces the internet anymore from any browser. Dolphin cannot load pages, i also tried to see what other browsers did, i installed firfox and opera and they both cannot acces the internet. I get a screen which looks like there is no internet connection, this occurs when using 3G and Wifi connection there is no difference. However with other apps like facebook and market i can still acces the internet so the connection is not the problem.
When i reinstall the original browser.apk will this fix the problem? If so can anyone please provide me with this apk file.....

Woah - that probably wasn't a good thing to do . Here's the standard browser apk pulled from /system/app. Good luck!
Classic newbie mistake. DO NOT REMOVE SYSTEM APPS. Either rename them or move then to a different location. The browser is an integrated part of the O/S, you need it on the device for any internet enabled application.
Thanks to both of you for this browser.apk file!
I've copied it to my phone in the system/app directory. Than i installed it, however at the end of the installation the wizard said 'application not installed' the only thing that i could do was press 'done'
It tells me that the application is not installed but i can see it in my list of apps now. But i can still not connect to web pages. When i start the browser it goes fine but when the browser connects to a web page it still tells me that there is no connection.
to be clear I have not removed the odex file. Has anyone got an idea what i'm missing??
Please forget about this - my mistake
I had to allow the browser to connect again to the internet in the droidwall settings.
Thanks for the browser file!

You don't install APKs that you push/copy to /system/app - the very act of putting them there means they are installed.
If you really don't want to use the stock browser, try freezing it and see if that has any effect on internet access from other browsers.
Regards,
Dave
I'm not sure sbout all that above. The reason is that I always remove the browser.apk and I'm yet to see any negative impact. I've been doing that on my old desire and now on note and suffered no problems whatsoever. I substitute Xscope and recently Boat Browser Mini and it's all good.
push the apk to system/app folder in your phone's root folder using root explorer.Then restart your phone and clear the data if any in settings/manage application.This will solve your problem.
ok, i have to type LOADS a day. if there is any app which can make me to "dictate" to let the android write word docs??..i'll be grateful for any sugesstions
EDIT i got polaris office working for this. apparently, it has library dependencies which lets the app to be used as a file manager but if you try to create a office file, it will FC.
here are the two dependency file.
push the files to /system/lib and the apk to /system/app
set similar permissions as other files in the same folder. reboot.
enjoy fully functional polaris office in CM7.
http://www.mediafire.com/?3nga0z9cr2no33u
e... " write word docs" maybe a little difficule
at least i don't which app can do it
Install Polaris office
Install google voice from market
got keyboard settings and enable voice type
open polaris office and create a new doc
click the MIC icon on the keyboard and speak!
doing just that....apparently polaris office has library dependencies
was not working in cm7 (creating new document), however, after pushing the library files, it's working just fine in CM7.
here is the full set (apk+lib files) for any1 who want 2 use polaris office in CM7.
(polaris office will work just fie in as a file manager without the libs, but if you create new office files, it will FC)
get the link in 1st post. also,i am updating the thread name in case it helps someone else.

umm...i got it working with polaris.
Yesterday at some point all of my apps (except two) disappeared from my app drawer. Now only the ones that i've downloaded or updated are shown. Although if I look at my apps through the edge app, I can still see they are all there. Does anyone know what the problem is?

P.S. Using Google Launcher if that helps.
I had this problem today. I tried multiple things....but it turned out to be my secure folder I had set up. I deleted my secure folder and all my apps showed up in the app drawer again. Read online that Knox and google now launcher aren't compatible for some reason.
