[Q] All stock apps gone. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After haveing installed CM7 on my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 all my stock apps went missing, including market and samsungs own social hub and so on. How do I restore these? Should I install a orginal samsung rom and thereafter reinstall CM7 to hope for a better result? Everything else is working, just missing all these apps.

The samsung apps rely on twframework-res (Samsung's framework), which is not present in AOSP-based roms (CM7/MIUI) and thus none of the stock apps will work.
The most notable omission is the video player, which is by far the best and fastest available for our devices.
On the subject of Market being missing, that is most definitely odd.
Maybe try fully reflashing CM7, with wipe of user data and /system, /cache and /data (look in 'Mounts and Storage' in CWM)

For the market I'm pretty sure you need to flaah gapps

I am afraid you have to choose between CM7 and Samsung apps. It's a personal choice.

[Q] Market does not reflect installed apps after Titanium restore

I recently installed CM7 and restored my apps using Titanium Backup (premium). Most of the apps do not show up in Market->My Apps as Installed. Some of them appear after I have upgraded them using App Brain.
I have tried wiping the phone and starting from scratch, clearing data on Market and on Google Framework, running Fix Permissions in Rom Manager, running Market Doctor in Titanium Backup.
The only thing I haven't tried is wiping and letting Android re-download all the apps. I don't want to do this until I've exhausted all other options.
This started about a week ago (around the time the web market was released). I'm not sure about the exact date (whether it was when I installed CM7, upgraded to #36, or when the market was released).
Bumping. Still having this problem.
If you search for an app that's installed (but not in My Apps), does the Market show it as installed?
You can try using Titanium to restore Market links for apps that are missing, so that'd be worth a go.
Must admit though, whenever my Market isn't showing everything, clearing it's data always sorts it.
Seeing as you've had this problem for several days, I would go ahead and fully wipe as with a little preparation, it should only take 45 minutes or so, depending on Android. Hopefully you have a stable Nandroid, restore it, then I would:
Apps that I've highly customized (ADW, LauncherPro, GentleAlarm, etc) I would export their settings using their built in Export functionality
Go ahead and fully wipe, sometimes it takes a couple wipes
Flash ROM, sign in & let Android install the apps
Restore data only using TB, toggling just the apps that absolutely need it & that didn't have built-in export functions (not ADW, LP, GA, etc). If the app doesn't have a lot of settings, avoid restoring its previous data to avoid unnecessary problems
Once the phone calms, begin importing settings that were exported
In the past when I was messing with ROMs I ran into this problem and just loaded up Appbrain and let it sync. After that the market showed my installed apps.
But as said, Titanium is supposed to be able to do this.. Although I never saw it actually work.
SOLVED
Had the same problem.
Just go to my apps->market->clear data->stop service
run again market and sign in -> voila you have all your apps listed
I think most people posting in this forum having this problem probably tried that already. ;-)

[Q] Can't install Skype anymore

So, I tried installing the patched version of Skype posted here so that I could have video calling on my Galaxy S. I installed the original Skype and got to installing the patched version. During the installation it said that there was no space available. Fairly confident I had enough space I decided to remove a few unnecessary apps anyway, but the problem persisted. I decided that it was a lost cause and reverted to the original Skype. However this is deciding not to install now, giving the same error that there is insufficient space available.
I've tried wiping the cache from recovery mode but I'm not sure what else I should try.
Other apps are installing fine by the way.
Uninstall and wipe all Skype data using titanium backup then reinstall

Is there a way of doing this without rooting?
Stock skype pretty much takes over your phone when installed so removing all pieces of a hacked skype requires titanium backup with root previliges.
Install gtalk (video working) if you have root privileges, skype has become bloatware so uninstalled.

See if you can find the package name "com.skype.raider" listed in Settings > Applications > Manage Apps. > All
If that is true, wipe all data and uninstall. Then try re-installing Skype again.

Can I install Samsung Apps on new ROM

Just installed [AOKP]Galaxian-Soup[GT-7310/7300][r2.1][03.27.2012].
Wanted to get back some of the Samsung apps I had on stock, things like Allshare, Samsung Apps, etc.
Is it possible?
Bump........
I just flashed the ROM you mentioned, and it seems there is a conflict between samsung apps and the ROM (or all ICS ROMs?)
I tried restoring Polaris Office with Titanium Backup but the app FCs shortly after opening. I'll try restoring something else to see if it's a unique problem (I highly doubt it) or if most of the samsung apps have this problem.
Most Samsung apps (including Polaris) have libs in system/lib folder. Without those libs it surely doesn't work. Some apps have dependencies in other system libs and thats why they don't work on ICS.

[Q] Apps restore

Is there any program to make backup of apps, but only names (not APKs, not data etc.)?
I want to mass download all my apps, that I had before, but using Google Play.
Hi,
Ultimate Backup provides an option to share your list of installed apps. It can even include the Play Store link and version.

Ultimate Backup is the best .. but titanium backup is not bad
You can try MyBackup but it may be a problem to backup only names. I tried backup only apk. It works but when i tried to load backup on new soft it fall in bootloop. But i think on rooted phone it will work well
but when you restore programs after flashing a new rom it´s possible that you "build" bugs...for example flashing ics and then restore app´s which were installed under gb isn´t so good
If I got it right, then the question was how to export a list of installed apps to be able to install them again from Market. Manually that would be, without a backup of APK or app data.
with appbrain and also with the last relase of Market you can see the storyline of your app installed in your device
Guys, first of all - thanks for replying.
My idea is to "backup" apps without backing up any APKs or data (DO CLEAN INSTALL DOWNLOADING LATEST VERSIONS OF APPS) to prevent any bugs on new ROM.
Elentirmo74, yes, something like that.
So, for now the only solution is to use Appbrain storyline or Google Play Store history.
Play store has a list of all apps you have ever installed across all devices. That sounds like all you need as you can then redownload and install the ones you want.

[Q] Titanum + bricking

Since I read in some threads, that Titanum has a high bricking-risk after upgrading form GB to ICS (resp. CM9) I am curious about more details. For system-apps I understand it to some extend that an GB-version might get in conflict with the ICS-version and then stops. Resp. Titanum overwrites the ICS-system app and therefore ... With regular apps I do not really understand, cause for e.g. games they shouldn't influence the system. And last but not least, Samsung provides as well a migration path, from which I guess that the apps are kept.
But with all of this, I still do not understand, why a reboot into CWM is impossible resp. a restore not. How could Titanum influence that part of the system? Or are there some specific apps which shouldn't be restored? (My restore of Swype in CM9-nightly went well and was reusable - resp. didn't see much effects.) Are there more details about the risks? I curios, cause the generic attention-warnings are little bit toooo generic....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've been wondering the same thing.. What I did was deleting all backups after flashin cm9(paranoidandroid) then I backed up again only the apps that I manually installed on my new rom so that stock apps for example wouldn't be restored. Now I've restored these apps two times without any problems.
Might be lucky but please if someone here knows if my method is safe please reply!

I restored my apps with data using titanium, no problems. Just do not restore system apps.
