Hi,
I've installed an custom Mail app which supposed to delete the exchange policies but it didn't work. The custom installation kit (via cwm/twrp) removed the original Mail.apk files and the replacement is not working. After reboot I've ended up with no Mail app installed.
Can someone guide me please how to restore my original Mail.apk please ?
Can someone provide me please the files I need to restore the Mail from 2.24.401.1?
Do I need only the original Mail.apk and Mail.odex files?
If I'm copying them in /system/app/ will be enough?
I've tried to restore it from cwm backup using nandroid manager.
It says it restore it successfully but after reboot it didn't install it.
There are no Mail files in systems/app
When I'm trying to launch the Mail app it says so is not installed.
Any idea why is not working?
Remove all existing mail accounts and delete admin rights (if any remaining), then try putting back the file attached in system/app folder. You will need to mount it with read/write access, using a root explorer (as ES explorer for example).
Be careful, if you're using another rom that ARHD 12 (which the attached file is extracted from) you will need to rename it "Mail+nonprime.apk"
Reboot, and check how things go...
Hope this will help

is this modified apk based on the 2.24 framework or older?
Thanks guys but I don't have the ARHD, I have the stock 4.2.2 + root.
I've manged to restore it last night using Cwm, restoring the whole backup. Luckily I had a backup make sure you do a backup first while attempting to try custom things
I still don't understand why the restore only for the Mail app didn't work.
I did not have any mail account or Admin user.

I installed this from the market on my legend rom. I have created a nandroid backup of that rom and I'm now rockin the nonsense rom from team-slide (great rom by the way!). However I'm trying to find this on the market now and it seems like it is nowhere to be found. I've tried a variation of searches with no luck. So I thought, well I'll just restore my legend rom backup and adb pull the file from there. It was located in the /data/app as a .zip file while the other apps were .apk. Anyhow I was able to pull the file and its now on my computer. I then did a restore to my nonsesnse rom but I'm unsure how to get the zip file back on the phone. I can adb push it on there but it doesn't 'install' it per sey. Any ideas on how to get this app back on the nonsense rom?
You can place the apk on the sd card and then on the phone you can use astro to install it. If that doesn't work you can connect to the pc and use the "adb install" command.

Part of the problem is that I don't see an apk file. The file is actually .zip in the /data/app path. The other files in the /data/app path are .apk files. Am I missing something here or is the apk file in another path? When I unzip the file on my computer there are multiple folders. If I had the actual apk then I might be in business. Any suggenstions on where it might be hiding?
go to app private in the backup that u got the zip from there should b the apk
update - app private had the apk, installed and working fine, thanks for all the help. So is it safe to say if it is a zip file the apk will always appear in app private? Why make this different from the other apks? Is it just developer specific i guess?
hi, i had a small problem last night whereas my phone got stuck in a restart loop after installing a developers theme via MetaMorph
After this problem i now want to be able to fix any changes to themes that i make, and if i mess something up i want to be able to restore it without reflashing my device.
Im sure that if i backup the files that are being changed in modifications i download, or ones i make myself, then i can restore these files or packages in download mode via ADB?
so in cmd i can backup with:
adb pull /system/app/framework-aes.apk
and then restore with
adb push framework-aes.apk /system/app
i can possibly even back them up just using Root Explorer, but when pushing files back on my device i get the error, 'insufficient permissions'. I have read about opening Root Explorer and adding the permissions from there, but they dont allow me to change the system folder, as its read-only
Any help appreciated!
Edit:
Off-topic im also interested to know if its possible to extract the .dex files to get the .java classes out, im guessing they are compiled
thanks

Is there a way to get the default samsung style text messaging conversations back to the speech bubbles. I am currently using di11is5.1 ROM. I like the look and feel of this ROM but I really liked the way the OEM text conversations looked.
You just need to change the mms.apk to whichever you prefer. It is located in /system/app and you will need a file manager such as root explorer or use ADB commands to place it there.
I am not sure what ROM's use which messaging app as I use handcent but you can surely get the stock one from the jh7 ota zip thread. Just download that and pull it from the zip.
I hate to be such a noob but how do I replace the file I have tried but I get an error that the file already exists. I have tried to remove the file but I get a message about read only file.
What method are you using?
Iwas trying to use Terminal emulator to copy the file from the internal SD card to the /system/app folder. I have tried to "mv /system/app/Kmart.API /sdcard/" I get the message about file is write only.

The easiest way for me is to use root explorer. Pay for it in the market, it’s the best money you will spend for managing your phone. Download the new apk to the sd card on your phone. Use root explorer, go to /system/app, and mount as r/w. Long press the existing apk > rename it (add .bak at the end) > copy the new apk to the /system/app > click on the new file and install.
can someone please post this apk?
ill put it up when i get on my computer at home
Your welcome
Now you say/press thanks

Hello everyone!!
So i got myself a WiFi Xoom and rooted it. By mistake uninstalled the stock browser with titanium backup and now its gone from the system. Can any of you please provide me with a flashable file so i can flash it via recovery and restore app?
I tried getting the apk from one of the system dumps on the developer section but when i try to install it i get the message "App not Installed".
did you move the apk to system/app and give it correct permissions rw/r/r?

I tried to copy the apk to the system/app folder using ES file exlorer but it does not let me, and i dont know how to set the correct permissions.
Use RootExplorer, it does all mentioned stuff
Put the apk into this file. Put it in the system/app folder and flash in recovery.

I've Lost My Browser
EDITED:::Nvmd, replaced browser.apk with the ones from system dump, as mentioned in OP, and that resolved my issue of not being able to use the stock browser.
Okay, I rooted and deleted apps before there was a recovery. Now I want to put the apps back on before recovery and backup. I'd like to have these apps on my phone should I need to return the phone. Problem is, I deleted "Guided Tours" and "News" and I have no idea where to find these apps. Everything else is on my phone. Any suggestions?
Go use the sbf or what ever its called now. Flash Your phone then reroot then do what You need to do.

Here are the files you wanted. They are in zip format and have the corresponding .odex files. Place these in your /system/app folder and be sure to to change the permissions to rw-r-r-- on each file.

Just run the FXZ(Formerly SBF) if you want to install an OTA, if/when one comes out. No need to get your apps back just to make a stock backup. The FXZ gets you back to stock.

I have both zip files in /system/app - do I extract these here and install? When I clicked on permissions - I changed it to - Owner: write, Group: read, Others: read. Is that correct?
Right now what I see in my /system/app is GuidedTours.apk and NewsWidget.apk. I don't see any ODEX files

Unzip this to /system/app then change permissions.
XDA doesn't allow .odex files to be upload - says unknown file type.
This might come in handy for you. It's my /system/app dump all apks and.odex files from stock bionic.
