[Q] Flashable Stock Browser file?

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.

Thanks!!!!! this worked very well. Thanks to all that replied.

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.

I think I screwed up..

I have canned a lot of apk's recently.
Now I notice when my wifi scans it won't show any networks/SSID's. But if I manually enter one, it will connect.
Any ideas? It may not be related to the apk's I don't know

An apk file is an installation file - it installs an app. Once the app is installed you can delete the apk. So I doubt one has anything to do with the other.

Isn't the apk and the program one in the same? If you remove an apk from browsing with root explorer it will remove the program off your phone.

When you delete a system apk it deletes it from recovery as well.

Download UrDroid from the development section. Open the zip and goto /system/app and copy them to your SDcard into a folder (so you don't clutter the root of your storage)
Reboot into safe strap
Click on mount
Select /system
Back out
Goto advanced
Select file manager
navigate to the folder on your SDCard
Copy them into your /system/app folder
When your done fix permissions and reboot
If your nice, pm me and I will make you a flashable zip

Is there a way to accomplish this without safestrap? That's the only step of your process I don't have

Not for it to be right. But safe strap is uninstallable.
if you're already rooted then you can run safestrap

If that were the case, I'd have very few apps on my phone. I always delete the apk file (as soon as I back it up to my normal backup locations, which are on devices other than the phone).
An apk is actually a zip file with a different extension. (Rename it .zip and open it in Winzip - you'll see.) It's an installer. Once the app has been installed you no longer need the installer.
If you've deleted apk files and had your apps disappear, you're doing something in addition to removing the apk files. (I normally put apk files on the root of my external SD card, so I don't need a rooted program to delete them.)

I've added/deleted/modified files in /system/app with just root file explorer, back before safestrap existed for the N3 - you do not need safestrap to fiddle with /system/app - you can do it with root file explorer (remember to set the permissions correctly - 644 iirc).

[Q] MTP Application 1.0 APK

Hey guys! So I successfully managed to root my Galaxy S Advance running stock 4.1.2 Jellybean (Italian firmware I9070XXLQL) and installed SuperSU and TitaniumBackup. I was uninstalling unnecessary bloatware using a couple of lists made by other forum members. One of the apps I deleted was called MTP Application 1.0 (I think?) because it is only required for connecting to a computer via Kies and I don't use that anymore (Android File Transfer all the way!) But now my phone does not get recognised by AFT at all. Unfortunately I'm a klutz and forgot to make a backup of the application before deleting so now it cannot be recovered. Can someone possibly provide me with the APK? It is a system application and I have granted root access to ES File Explorer. Just need the application itself. Thanks!
Edit: I've already searched online and can't find the APK anywhere on the Internet.

Here you go. I attached the file. I use xxlql deodexed and pulled this from the preload partition. I think you must put this apk in the app folder on preload partition and give it permissions. Good Luck.

Hey thanks! I downloaded the APK, moved it to the appropriate folder and changed the permissions. Now my phone is getting recognised by AFT. Thanks once again for the speedy response!

Hi. Can you give instructions on how to install the APK? Like which folder to put it in and how to give permission?
Thanks so much!

You must be rooted. Once you are done rooting your device you must install root explorer or es file explorer. Then grant root permissions to that app. Now move the apk file to preload/app folder in root of the device. Then choose properties of the apk file and set permissions. You can youtube the procedure. Good luck.

How about some Lollipop apk's for ya .....

Here are some of the google lollipop 5.0 apks I pulled from my nexus 7 (2013). As well as a zip containing all the 5.0 stock apks. Zip is not flashable, just extract and use a root browser to manually copy and paste into system/apps folder only after you have uninstalled the one you are replacing.
As always make a backup before doing any of this. And I'm not responsible for what you do to your device.
I couldnt install all the apks but I got several of them to install.
Good luck.

Enabling Hotspot/Tethering on an AT&T S6 Galaxy with an unlimited data plan

So I don't post much so bear with me.
I was looking for a solution to enable the hotspot on my rooted AT&T Galaxy S6. I ran across the following post that requires flash fire and a file that appears to modify the framework-res.apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6/development/mod-tether-hack-oe2-build-t3115789
I am new to changing my android OS so I wanted a solution that instead modified the Tethering App itself.
I found the following post for enabling wifi tethering/hotspot on AT&T lollipop devices by changing the tetheringprovision.apk file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/how-to-enable-wifi-hotspot-rooted-t3131646
I then found information on enabling tethering for an S6 on the T-mobile network that included additional steps. Like deleteing the arm64 folder (I just renamed mine) and refreshing the APN (I suspect this is done because they also change the customer.xml file that builds the default APN).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/development/mod-enable-native-tether-t3078551
So I performed the following actions and was able to enable wifi hostspot on my AT&T Galaxy S6 with an unlimited data plan
Download the tetheringprovision.apk file on a rooted S6
Use a file explorer program like ES File Explorer rename the original tetheringprovision.apk to tetheringprovision.apk1
to copy the file from the download folder to the folder /system/app/TetheringProvision (in ES File Explorer you may need to enable root explorer to allow the copy)
Modify the permissions of the file (Used ES File Explorer under properties of the file)
Renamed the arm64 folder to arm64.old
Rebuilt the APN (Probably did not need to do this step)
Restarted the phone
If this works for you let me know.
PS: Does anyone know how to avoid detection?
