My buddy, has an OG Droid. It's a 'spare' phone and not activated...its mostly used as a web browsing (wifi) device. Well, I rooted it for him and got him a root-enabled application remover...well, he 'accidentally' removed dialer.apk. He is not sure what version of android he was on, but I assume it was 2.2 (the latest official firmware).
Can someone either a) post a version or dialer.apk or let me know where I can find it so I can walk him through putting that back on the phone by way of adb. Or b) let me know what I can do to help him with this. He told me he did do a hardware reset, but it made no difference, dialer.apk is still missing.
Now I'm not exactly sure he did a true hardware reset/recovery.
Any ideas? suggestions?
Thanks in advance....
Paul

Maybe you have to rename it - it's from an european version of Cynogen Mod 6 - but I suppose it should work if you put it into /system/app directory

I would download and .sbf back to stock, although the question begs, what use is dialer.apk on a phone that's not activated?

Hi, I am the dumb friend that has made a fatal mistake. I was trying to strip my Android of unwanted apps so I could take out my memory card and use it elsewhere. When I was doing this I accidentally deleted dialer. Now when I turn turn on phone a message comes up and tells me dialer is not working and thus I choose force close. Well the problem is this message locks up my phone as its continuously comes back.
I have tried hard reset and this did not work. I also was not paying attention so I did not backup Dialer either
Any and all help is much appreciated for this noob.

If you let me know which sbf you are using, i can extract it for you. btw, is there a dialer.apk in droid? Because the milestone only has Contacts.apk and Phone.apk. I thought dialer.apk was there only in motoblur devices. OG Droid is not one of them.
IF you dont know which rom you are running on your phone, just go to Settings->About Phone, scroll down to the bottom and post a screenshot of your screen.
Update : I just downloaded and unpacked the original Verizon Droid 2.2 sbf from here and i can confirm that there is no dialer.apk in there. Also it is odexed. You are not running the official 2.2 update.
Hello silshen, and than you for taking time out to try to help me.
When I turn on this droid the exact message I get is
! Sorry!
The application Dialer (process
com.android.phone) has
stopped unexpectedly.Please
try again
Force Close
I cannot get any further into my droid now. I force close then this message instantly reappears. I downloaded the link you have posted (ty). Now If I might ask, how would I go about reinstalling 2.2 on this droid? I have 0 experience at
this. Do I need a program on my computer to install?

You have the following options.
You can flash the official sbf using rsdlite.
If you have installed clockworkmod recovery, I can make a flashable update for you.
You can use rootexplorer to copy the contacts and phone apps to your system folder.
You can use adb to push the apps to system partition.
Best option is to flash sbf. You can then root your phone using z4root/universal androot or superoneclick root. Then install rom manager and then flash whatever custom rom you want.

Use the attached guide to flash the official 2.2 sbf if your phone is a verizon droid. Follow procedure and please note that all risk that comes with this is yours. If you follow procedure, you shouldn't have any problems.
I'm not to worried about contacts or apps because this is my 'gaming' droid.Even though the Ram(if that is what it is called) is a bit small and can not run every game.Atm I have downloaded rsdlite 4.5.3 and will try to begin to 'flash' this droid. This droid was rooted before if that is any help.

You will lose root when you flash the sbf. Root the phone using the method i told you or get your friend to help you out again.
Thank you very, very, very, much for your help.

Download rsdlite 4.6 or above and try running the program as admin. Have you installed any other recovery like cwm or sprecovery on your phone.

2. Extract it.
3. Copy "Dialer.apk and Dialer.odex File.
4. Paste it in \system\priv-app on your android phone.
5. Press and hold Dialer.apk and click properties.
6. Uncheck all boxes except read only.
7. Click OK and Reboot.
Thatsss alll. Hope it might help you.
I ended up overwriting myverizon.apk in /system/app. Can anyone that is rooted get me a copy of it? I am afraid that I will not be able to take ota updates in the future without the original apk in that folder. Thanks.
im pretty sure its in the app market. thats where i got mine
I know but I need the one that comes with the phone.

Here is all the apks for the bionic.

For those of you that do not want to DeOdex their phone manually, here's a script I created to do it for you. I've created this same script before for the Droid X, and it's quite simple. Here's what you need.
1) Your phone must be Rooted.
2) You must install Bionic_Bootstrapper.
Below you can find these items.
COMPLETE GUIDE TO ROOT AND BOOTSTRAP
Once you have that.... download my DeOdexer and put it on your sdcard.
Bionic_AutoDeOdexer
MIRROR
Reboot into recovery. BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!!
Once that completes, then go to install from zip. Choose file from zip... find the Bionic_DeOdexer zip file... and run it.
There is a script at the beginning that checks the build.prop file and makes sure you have the correct build. You must have 5.5.1_84_DBN-55. If you do not, I hope it fails.
Reboot.... and all should be good. Now that you are DeOdexed.... have fun theming!
As you should know, do this at your own risk. Yes, I've tested this on my phone and had no issue. This doesn't mean you won't experience a problem. I'm not responsible for what happens to your phone.
ENJOY!!!
Worked great. Saved me a lot of time from manually deodexing.

Have you removed or touched any of the system/app/ 's ?
I'm running the rooted stock rom. I haven't removed any programs or modified/renamed anything in /system/apps, however, I did freeze some of the bloat using TB. Do I need to defrost the apps first before running this script, or does it matter?

If you modified any of the APKs, to include freezing them, I cannot guarantee it will work. Best thing is to be completely stock and rooted. At least that's the way I did this script.
Thanks for the answer! TB has a batch defrost, so if I decide to go ahead & run this script, I'll defrost everything first.
I did mine with frozen apps and it seems to be working well. Was able to install the 1% mod and use a custom battery icon too.

Good to know. I do know that depending on how the person downloads some packages, they may get corrupted during download. If it fails one time... try again. If it continues to fail, re-download and try again.
So the file isn't available any more?

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Worked great here, didn't unfreeze anything before running it and no problems to report.
Kind of a goofy question, but is there any reason that deodexing the stock (rooted) rom would worsen data loss issues?
The reason I ask is that I reverted to stock yesterday after experiencing substantial data problems with UNLEASH3D 1.5. Ran well for the entire day and this morning. Then, a couple hours ago, I ran this script and have had nothing but issues since, with both WiFi and cellular data dying, and not coming back without a reboot. Reverted to stock again, and all is normal.
Any ideas?

I have these same issues on stock, on .892 and on any roms - I really think it is just the phone :/ - there is a known bug on the bug list about data connectivity issues.
Btw the .892 radio is complete crap.... at least on my phone it is...
Market Apps
After running this script, I noted that my normal list of around 60 or so market apps is now showing only around 13 apps. Also, the market app asked me for authorization when I started it up. So, I don't know if this script, or maybe an automatic update to the market app has caused my missing downloaded apps.
They are still on the phone, and still backed up with TB, but they are not shown in the market My Apps page.
Any thoughts or solutions?

...Argh, never mind, this phone seems to have a mind of its own. The account chosen for My apps was not my main google account but another one. Not sure how this happens, but I find little things like this all the time with Android. My favorite is that my email delivery settings (push vs. manual vs. schedule) seem to change on their own!
I am forever rooted, and defrosted all the apps I froze with TB. Any ideas as to why this update keeps failing?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Download the official update.
Open root explorer and go to the /cache/ directory.
Copy or move the update from there to your SD card.
Power off phone
Hold Volume up and down together and press power button
You see a menu. Hit volume down to go to recovery. Hit volume up to select it
Now you see a Droid and upside down triangle. Hit both volume buttons.
Now you are fully into stock recovery.
Choose the update with zip option.
When it fails it will tell you exactly why it failed.

AWWW come on Dude... damn you should have said so a LOOONG TIME ago. There is no way to go from .901 to .902 unless your still on OTA's. I take it your not because you have this problem.
You have 2 choices
1. Go back to Stock 5.8.886 and then flash updates .893 and then .902(which you can find here)
2. Or Flash the .902 Stock FXZ using RSD lite. It will put you on .902 without having to applied updates manually. Loacted here. Copy the stuff you want to keep to your PC or External SDcard as is way wipes Internal Sdcard(which isnt a real problem)
Thats it dude. Anyone else will tell you the same thing.
CHEERS!!
PM me if you want instructions on all of this..
Thanks for all your help, I was trying to avoid wiping but now that I know its not possible Ill just go ahead and do it. Thanks for all your help.

You can back up all your apps/game data/ call log and all that good stuff using Titanium Backup
I went and rooted my droid 4, and without knowing about safestrap, i started backing up and deleting apps with the free version of Titanium Backup. I now have a couple of apps that will not restore back into place, and i am unable to perform the upgrade. Since then, i have installed safestrap, and attempted to flash the rom at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508341, but all i do is bootloop on my safe system. Any idea what i can do to fix the unsafe side so i can apply the 219 update? Am i kinda out of luck until the fastboot files are released?
try asking here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565
this forum is nearly dead, like 5 people a day visit here, very few people have a droid 4
i wish i could help more, but im not very good at this, but there are more people there that could help
What I'd do is download the stock recovery files that Hashcode has put up, and make sure you have anything you want backed up, and try advanced restore and flash all 3 options. As for the boot loop, did you try to clear cache and dalvik cache?
Are you referring to the [SAFESTRAP ROM] Stock MotoBlur 6.13.215 for Droid 4 at droidforums (forum won't let me post link) for hashcode's stock recovery? Or do you mean simply uninstalling the safestrap recovery from the safestrap app? I haven't played much with the stock recovery, so i'm not sure what 3 options you are referring to.
As far as the safe side, i wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache in the advanced menu, and done a factory reset... still bootloops...

I am having the same issue. I was recommended to unzip the stock rom posted and attempt either a direct or adb push install of those apk's that are missing. Someone did this one by one and was successful in installing the 219 update.
You could attempt to install the stock rom through safestrap to get the update. please make sure that you are at full 100% charge as most roms wont flash correctly with less. I recommend getting full charge and flashing while still plugged in.
Hey guys, so what exactly is going on? You are missing apks on your main system, and your safe system bootloops?
So, your primary system functions, it just is missing bloatware, preventing you from updating? I just want to be sure I understand before making a recommendation.
Welp, i got some good news, i got the main system fixed and then updated. I took a stock 215 rom, extracted the /system/app folder and the system/build.prop to the sd card. Then i simply copied the contents of that folder into the /system/app on the root of the system with a file manager (used estrong's, other file managers that support root should work.), copied the build.prop to /system, and then did the update OTA. I lost safestrap and root, but i was able to reroot with moto fail... i have not tried reinstalling safestrap yet, nor have i mess with the bloatware like i did last time.

I sort of did the same thing. I downloaded the rooted stock from and unzipped it. I then rebooted and manually tried to install the update and noted what files needed to be restored and then I coped them to dropbox then moved them to /system/app and it worked
I attempted to move the files but got an error when doing so saying I could not move them to the folder. The only file I seem to be getting the error with is backupassistantclient.apk but that might be because it is getting to that first and erroring out. Does Astro not support root to ove the files in /system, etc?

Why don't you just flash it back to stock instead of messing it up more. I got a thread up here on our to do that.
I was playing once like that with the Nook Tablet. It took me 3 weeks to fix it. I hope you don't fall under the same crap with your phone
