I reset my phone to factory setting and now I am missing a couple apps. The 2 that I notice are the Market app and my GMail app. I've done a lot of research and can't figure out how to return these two apps. Anyone have any suggestions?

quote from android market downloading issues FAQ:
Android Market disappearing after Android 2.2 Update We're receiving reports from some users that the Android Market app is disappearing after receiving the Android 2.2 update. We're working with carriers and device manufacturers to resolve the issue and restore your access to Android Market.
In the meantime, if you'd like to resolve the issue immediately, we recommend performing a factory data reset on your device. Please note that this will reset your device to its original state, and while your media content (photos, music, etc.) will not be deleted from the SD card, applications and their related data will be uninstalled. To perform a factory reset:
Go to Home > Menu > Settings > Privacy
Press "Factory data reset"
Press "Reset phone"
Your phone will restart, and after everything resets you'll be able to access Android Market again. Note that in some devices the "Factory data reset" option may be located under a different menu item, such as Phone Storage.

You'll need Root Explorer to do that.
And you'll need root, like TRus mentioned.

Or if you have ADB, you could extract the market and gmail .apk's and adb install them to your phone.
Good luck!
~Gemuse
yes it is rooted. I dont know what adb is, can you explain? I'll do some research also.

that first guide is by me so hit the thanks...
or get a root file explorer program off the market for free,
get the app "SGS Tools" use it to "run script" > mount system RW
drop the apps in /system/apps/ with your explorer app
use "SGS Tools" again to "run script" > mount system RO
or buy the app root explorer. it has the RW RO button built in. so no run script....
or flash a custom rom..
or try a factory reset again...
^ A simple reflash of the ROM cleared up the problem of the missing apps for me.
Went from GR-12 to Subpression 3 and had the missin app problem...reflashed Subpression 3 and was good to go and then updated to 3.2 and no problems there either.
edit: I realize the OP said they reset their phone to factory settings, but I thought I'd leave my post anyway just incase someone flashed a custom ROM and experienced this problem.
I just had this issue after installing a theme and simply extracted the GR12 files on my SD card and installed the Market and vending apks.
Hi,
I have a notification saying "10.1.A.1.434 New system update available". How to remove this from my notification area?
Its there for some days now. I tried tapping on it to open the system update app, clear, swipe it left & right, tried connecting to PC suite, tried rebooting. And the notification still remains. Please advise. My phone have a unlocked bootloader and is rooted
How about clicking on the "clear" button? or swiping that notification to the left/right?

Android application package file (APK) is the file format used to distribute and install application software and middleware onto Google's Android operating system.
Removing it will make the notification update disappear and the software update below about phone will be gone as well.
1) Go download Titanium Backup
2) Go into the app, scroll down till you find "UpdateCenter.apk"
3) Backup the app, and then remove it.
4) Reboot your phone.

Thanks, that did the trick... Does this affect my other apps from play store. Like, Wont they update themselves (manually/automatically)?
Actually, you can remove it by opening the notification/status bar ( slide from top to bottom ), then open app info and force stop.
The notification will not appear again until the next reboot. You just have to do it once after every reboot.

thats the playstore, i dont think they are related.
For anyone who is interested, the service to stop, freeze, or remove is Google Services Framework.
I just did it - go to Settings / Apps / All and scroll down to Update Center. Remove the Show notifications tick and confirm. That's it!
Just freeze 'System update' from titanium backup (or similar apps).
This is the only %100 solution.
Is it safe to uninstall Software update app, guys? I have only basic Titanium Backup on my rooted Z, so there is no freeze option for me. I've removed some of Sony bloatwear (What's New etc.), and lately there is notification about available updates after every reboot. Force stop solves the issue temporarily, and Show_notification box is uncheckable. In my view, this app shouldn't have any major purpose left, since OTA updates are archived for us... Cheers.

ok here is what I would do
http://androidcommander.com
download this file, connect your phone with adb debugging enabled. This program will find your device, from there you can open an extracted rom browse the rom until you find the HTC TV app and install it as a system app,
I did this for my evo 3d when devs took out the 3d widgets I used.

When you say "install as a system app" do you mean place it on the app folder in system/app then reboot?

no if you double click the apk file for HTCTV another window will open, when you click install a third window will open and the last option is install as a system app, select that one and click install
this will chmod the app file as 777 allowing it be executed. I think your system is not set as rw and only as ro.

Neat app. Followed the instructions went exactly as you described, install was "successful" but nothing shows up in my app drawer. Rebooted to see if that would fix, still no dice. Im beginning to think downloading the full rom will be the best idea. If i do, would i need to wipe? I know i should wipe if going to a different rom but in this its the same rom.

Okay this feels really dumb, but I'm trying to install an .apk
Easy enough, right? I find the apk via a file explorer and click to install. Android prompts me to allow apks to be installed, I allow them. Then the installation starts. Its going well, but suddenly the Note 3 restarts and the apk isn't installed.
I've factory reset it a few times and tried multiple times. I'm running stock. build number JSS15J.N900AUCUBMJ5 and the apk I'm trying to install is from the humble bundle. (particularly Ravensword 2, Star command, but even trying to install other apps via apks cause my note 3 to reboot)

Make sure that allow mock locations in checked in developer options and unkown sources is checked in security settings. If those are both checked and it still doesn't work you can push the app into the system manually, I use ES file explorer. Retrieve your apk from downloads, long press and copy it, go into device/system/app and paste, change apps permission to rw-r-r. To change the permissions long press the app, then click more on the bottom right then properties/change the permission to rw-r-r. you must be rooted to do it the manual way.

I turned on Mock Locations in dev mode. Unfortunately my devices is not rooted, Although I feel like it should still install normally. I've checked the APKs and they work on an S4 and LG G2, which are both not rooted.
Is it possible i just got a defective phone? bad software? bad hardware?

I remember before was okay...when I clicked Hide Magisk Manager from setting, it will rename the app to unhide magisk manager......
But now after I clicked Hide Magisk Manager from setting....it will not re-create a new app for me....and the option for Hide magisk manager is gone in the setting....Just would like to know is this normal or I messed up something ? Please advise . Thanks a lot.
I updated today to version 15 and, in addition to brick my device, the hide function also does not work. I uninstalled the system, reinstalled version 14 and it's all right. I will wait for the correct corrections to update.
I have hide option. I'm using it to apps that detects unwanted root. For me works fine.

The function has changed. It will now repackage the Manager with a random name (you'll see it in the "About" section). That the option to hide the Manager disappears from settings simply means it's hidden. To unhide, install the Manager again. This also means that every time Magisk or the Manager is updated you'll have to rehide the Manager.
I tried again and the problem persists. Is there something new in this version 15 that needs to be configured differently?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Seriously though... Try toggling Hide off and on in the Manager settings, that might fix it for you.
Nothing, not even praying, but version 14 works perfectly. I'll continue with her then.
Checking the Samsung Pay app in Magisk Hide used to work but now it does not. I tried to hide the Magisk app itself but that isn't working either. The app's icon disappears from my home screen but still shows up in my app drawer. Any ideas? I really like Samsung Pay.

That's something completely different... But completely fine and as it should be.
When you hide the Manager, it uninstalls itself and installs a new Manager with a random package so that apps looking for the Manager doesn't trigger. That's why the home screen shortcut is removed, because the app actually is uninstalled.
Edit: and every time you update Magisk or the Manager this'll happen again, because whenever you reinstall/update the Manager, it gets unhidden. The repackaged Manager is uninstalled and the regular one takes over.

It's already been stated, but that's how it works. It's not hidden so that you can't use it. It's just been hidden by changing the package name to a random one. So, any app looking for the package name com.topjohnwu.magisk won't trigger if you've hidden the Manager.

No worries mate.
It's always best to keep things running as normal, unless you really need to... The repackaging feature is actually really complicated.
I'm using Magisk 15.3 and installed SafetyNet check then went to Magisk Hide in Menu and selected the apps I want to run as unrooted and it works. Try installing the safetynet check maybe it will work with you as well.

If I am getting the idea of this right, Magisk Manager is supposed to repackage itself with a random name so that it can't be seen by other apps? Or is it supposed to rename itself so when you look in the apps drawer, it is not called Magisk Manager?

Your first assumption is correct. The package name will change from com.topjohnwu.magisk to something random.

Ok, so what is it hiding itself from? Or when I hide other apps, what is it hiding them from? Like if I have a game I want to hide, it keeps the game in my app drawer, so it is not really hiding it from my own eyes.
