I mistakenly uninstalled systemui.apk and restored a backup by pushing the apk back into /system/app/ but now the systemui keeps crashing.. I want to avoid another re flash as downloading on mobile network is slow.
Systemui permission is rw-r-r, any suggestions?

Re: Systemui problem.

So I found a clear Facebook widget, and used root explorer to switch it out in the system/apps folder, matched permissions and rebooted.. worked fine. But now I tried to do the same exact process to the HtcMusic.apk, matched permissions, and it didn't work. Only difference is that the Facebook.apk did NOT have a Facebook.odex file. HtcMusic does. That's the question does the .odex file mess this process up. Can I delete it or replace it, or should I just leave it be? Any help or direction to a thread would be appreciated! Thanks!

What rom are you running? If it's a non sense rom you can't use htc widgets.
The odex and the apk might not have the same owner, so they can't work together. I'm using an odexed rom too, so I've had that problem whenever I try to replace an htc apk using root explorer. Try doing it with adb instead, by doing an adb push (after adb remount).
Yea im using Eris Lightning 3.02 so it is sense. I'm gunna do a nand restore to before i replaced the htcmusic.apk, cause not only does the stock music player not work now, but my keyboard keeps force closing. After that ill try to push it using adb. Thank you guys for the speedy responses!

for some reason after flashing a custom theme my browser .apk went missing. i can find it it the file explorer but cant install it or do anything with it. so i was hopi9ng someone can post there browser .apk from cm 6.1 for me so i can install it again. i cant stand using dolphin and opera browser.
...or you could pull it from the CM 6.1 zip that you flashed?

once I accidentally replaced browser.apk in /system/app by another apk, later I just deleted browser.apk, and from SD card I re-installed it, and browser came back.
i actually tried that and it says application could not be installed. and the browser has appeared on my app drawer now but when i open it, it force closes. what can i do?
What are you using as you file explorer? I recommend Root Explorer, and don't forget to set the permissions...

ive used root explorer and es file explorer and still no luck. and yes ive set the permissions. it just says application not installed after i hit install.
ok... I had same problem when installing "Android Terminal Emulator" actually~and still don't know how to fix it
so what can i do, this is getting annoying
I think you may have to resort to restoring your backup...

Do you think if I re flash the theme it will possibly fix this issue? Because its the new inexus theme that was just released. Also reflashing the backup will really be a hassle.
Never mindj just tried to reflash the theme and it didn't work so I still don't know what to do

You can try the theme, it certainly won't hurt, but I think you'll end up having to do the ROM eventually...
Once you're up and running again, make a backup before trying the theme again.

i did a nandroid backup before flashing the theme. if i restore that backup will i get everything back. like apps and data
I rooted my samsung galaxy note and then installed RocketRom V7. I then installed Kalagas Mixed theme for better looks.
I wanted to change the contacts and the phone looks, so I downloaded these apks from galaxy note apps and themes forum
and copied them in /system/app using root explorer in ROM Toolbox utility.
I made copies of Contacts.apk and Phone.apk before overwriting them.
Unfortunately, now I dont see anything for contacts and phone icon at the bottom of the screen and google search app
is not searching any of my contacts. I changed the permissions of these apps to 644 also, but nothing has changed.
Fortunately I have GO Dialer installed and I can make cals.
I tried replacing contacts.apk and phone.apk with the backup, reflashed RR V7 ROM after cleaning cache and dalvik chache. Nothing has worked.
How should I go about it?
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated
Afaik, from experience of trying alternative diallers and contacts and having the same problem, there is no way to restore dialler and contacts apps without doing factory reset. Don't know why. Maybe its integrated thoroughly with the framework or something.
Better get clarification on this though.

I've just been notified that you can copy the apks back to original location if you're rooted although it never worked for me...

Hi XDA,
Following History:
Started ICS Stock 4.0.3
I tried to play around with Stock-Email and ActiveSync.
Policies dangled me to encrypt everything.
Encrypted Phone and SD
Experienced it to be too slow
Decrypted Phone and SD
Deleted ActiveSync account
Tried to run a script to remove Policy handling
didn't work
Kies update to ICS Stock 4.0.4
Email icon disappeared from Applist, no way to start
Deleted email.apk and .odex and exchange.apk and .odex + reboot
replaced with modified email.apk from A500+ reboot
didn't fit to screen, so removed + reboot
Tried to reinstall apks from friend -> No icon + reboot
fetched stockrom-image and took those email and exchange + reboot
still no icon available
How to restore the original Email and Exchange application without full wipe?
Where to look for errors?
Would be great if you can help.
Fixed it. Took from wrong rom build

I recently installed WidgetLocker and installed it in my system/app folder as I read it would work best if installed there. But have come to just not like using it and just gone back to the default kindle lock screen and changed the background wallpapers. I can't seem to find a place on the device or apps I use to uninstall it.
And deleting the .apk from the system folder works, but am unsure if everything is removed.
Would I just delete the .apk in the system/app folder then remove any links/shortcuts or is there another, proper, way to do it?

The app manager of a handy program called ROM TOOLBOX can uninstall system files. Just load it, then a long press on the offending "app will reveal menu including uninstall.
Awesome, thank you. Guess I should have this on my device for a while

Just deleting it and rebooting would unninstall a system app just fine ^^ Though maybe the data wont go

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, that's what I first did and shortcuts and some of the data and its folder still remained, but I uninstalled with ROM Toolbox and it worked out nicely. Got rid of most of what I wanted gone.
