Update Center APK - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I was cleaning "system" apps in the Z1 and accidentally included the Update Center in the uninstall now I don't have it anymore
Is there any chance someone can post an APK of it so I can restore it back?
Edit:
I tried looking for APKs in the forums but these are for diff models

here apk with odex

There are many Jellybean firmwares available for the Z. Jellybean is 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 and there are several firmware versions available for each version of Android for the Z. The settings apk will be specific to the version you're running.
So I would suggest that you stop with the unhelpful comments if you don't actually know what you're talking about and remember that you're the one asking for help.
Edit - I see you didn't "accidentally delete" anything.

If you just wanted the settings apk from any rom, you should have just asked. Go and download a stock based custom rom from the development section and extract it from the zip. Make sure it's at least a 4.2.2 rom, as Dualshock support wasn't added until then.

Oh nooooo. You found me out. I was hoping someone would give me the app considering how easy it is with titanium backup. I already would have downloaded a stock based rom but its annoying and doesnt really need to be done. Howver since there are zero links to just the apk and no one is willing to share looks like ill have to download a rom and extract it. Man....thats annoying...

Can't install xposed on rooted .757

II can't install the xposed framework on my device. It fails to install anything. I tried installing it through TWRP recovery, but only the .jar got installed, the app_process won't install no matter what I do. PLease help. everything is stock rom. Rooted, LOCKED bootloader.
ADDITIONAL,
I also cannot create a backup for my rom in TWRP.. It fails when backing up system. but I checked the TWRP folder, it has files in it even the system. So is it really backed up and the message that says "FAILURE" is only a bug?

It seems you don't have full root. Best bet will be to root again, follow the steps in my signature

NUT said his rom had full root. how do you disable ric? Maybe thats the prob because i didnt do it
Edit:
I can also use titanium fully and verified root.

If you are on nuts rom then ric will already be disabled. But if you cannot write to the system partition you do not have full root, re installing it should help

If you reffering to Update via PC Companion or OTA then, Right, you cannot do that, is not recommended as you will lose Root. ...but you can update to .761 Pre-Rooted by NUT, like you already did, same way, download files from HERE.

If you flash a ftf you lose root, recovery, everything. It's like factory resetting.

He may have stopped supporting it but I am pretty sure the thread is still there.
However he may have removed the files from his server.
If so, just follow his guide to make your own, it will be a good project for you to learn more

Ok, have the Xposed Framework installed allready for gravity box and gem xperia, will try the superuser mod. Let's see if it works!
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Free mobile app
Be warned that the "superuser mod" disables signature verification in your rom. This is a very bad idea and a huge security risk. I see this superuser mod recommended everywhere and I believe it's part of a very popular rom and nobody ever explains the risks involved with using it.
I'd advise using the Xposed module "DisableSignatureCheck" to temporarily disable signature verification when installing modded system apps and immediately enable signature verification again afterwards.
Edit - I apologise for not reading correctly (it's early here lol). I incorrectly thought you were going to flash the Superuser mod. I see that it's also part of the Xperia Xposed module.
However you enable it, it's still very important that you make sure you disable the Superuser mod after you've used it. ?

I read allready about the superuser mod few weeks ago, didn't tried it till now. I'm happy so far with my ( finally updated ) rooted clean .230 fw, LB. The widget isn't sooo important, but would be nice to have it again.
Maybe some smart guy will port the widget from 4.3 for 4.4, i'm personally not able to do this. Let's see!
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Free mobile app
Don't get me wrong. It's fine to temporarily disable signature verification to install a system app that's from a trusted source like this, then enable it again afterwards. I'm saying that it's not wise or safe at all to have it disabled permanently. ?
I just noticed another rom has been released with this superuser mod integrated, with no mention of what it is or the implications of it to enable users to make an informed decision whether to use the rom or not. There are potentially hundreds of users of these roms that are unaware that they're using unsecured roms on their devices. ?

That's why you make a nandroid backup before messing with /system.
Anyway, does the recovery you're using have a file browser? If so, copy a home apk across manually. I don't think there are any provided in flashable format anywhere.

Look in the cross device development section or extract it from a rom zip. As you don't say which firmware you're using then it's hard to help.

I don't have that rom in my computer anymore, I don't know how to extract that file from it either :/
Then download it again, open the zip file and find the home apk. I can't give you mine as I'm on an odexed rom.
When you have it, you need to copy it to /system/app and set the permissions rw-r--r-- (0644).
