Alright, so I have a rooted Vibrant on stock ROM. I used Root Manager to delete the bloatware on the phone. Worked great. However, when I used the delete data function, it took out all my apps including market.apk! So I can't get Rom Manager from Kousch to run a Naidroid restore, and I can't get the phone to sync up with Odin in download mode. Is there an update packet I can use to install the stock (with root) ROM with the install packages function in recovery mode? Maybe Eugene373's ROM? Thanks for any ideas.
I pulled the vending.apk out of Eugenes stock Vibrant rom. Copy and paste the .apk back to /system/app.
There's a Vibrant dump floating around the development section. Just get all the missing APK/ODEXs you want back out of it and copy them to /system/app.
Update: Turns out I got impatient and tried the Odin method to flash my ROM. That was a BIG mistake, put my phone into a brick cycle where I could not get phone into recovery or finish an Odin flash. I took it back to a local T-Mobile store and a friend hooked me up with a swap out. I have the new phone rooted and running ClockWork Mod. Will probably not try the Odin route again. Way too risky. Mods can close this thread or keep it up as a warning for novice android fans. Thanks for the dump and spare apk. This will be helpful in the future.
Great job

I found another vending.apk, but I guess they are different because I wasnt able to find some apps with that market on my SGS Vibrant. After I used his .apk, problem solved.
MAKE SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT VENDING.APK (MARKET).

You need super manager, root explorer or astro file manager ...along those lines to see the folders

use root explorer (paid)
or
Astro File Manager (free)
put the .apk in sd card first though
then copy it over.
@guy who said ODIN is way to risky..
BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

This is why you don't go trigger happy with the delete functions of root file managers. At least make a back-up of what you're going to delete. If what the 2nd poster said, another music.apk probably won't work on your phone.
Best bet is just do a factory reset or download SEUS and reinstall the firmware.
(please backup whatever you need.. sms, whatever. if you lose these, not even SEUS can save you; use the backup and restore app that SE gave you. provided you didn't delete that as well.... )
I did it hahaha.
I'll copy the Music.apk and the odex file if anyone needs it.

I love the swype feature on the android phones so far. While I was trying to upgrade to a newer version, it says "Application cannot be installed". I even deleted the old version with Titanium Backup Pro and tried to install the new one and no go Is there a reason why I can't install it?

Try to reboot your phone after you uninstall it..
ive been having the same problem with trying to uninstall swype and install new version....sadly i cant...any tips....or work around
I was in a thread about this weeks ago and we hadn't figured it out... we wanted the mic button.. tried the G2 swype and it wouldn't work.. I gave up for now. thanks to nandroid when I lost my original! There is yet another thread around here somewhere with the original swype to go back to stock... or just flash iced glacier.. its dope fast and the genius button loads way faster
This can be done, you need a few things first,
need to be rooted
need root explorer
need a new copy of swype
You need to kill the existing swype process, go into Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All, find Swype, Force Stop, Clear Data.
Use 7zip to extract the new Swype(i found one via google that is red and black with the mic button) Once extracted you will need to find "libSwypeCore.so" its under \lib\armeabi
copy both Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so to your SD card, make sure the CASE matches the above.
Open Root Explorer Mounr R/W, and copy Swype.apk to \system\app overwrite the existing file
then copy libSwypeCore.so from your SD card and copy to \system\lib overwrite the existing file
if you dont get an overwrite mesage your file case is incorrect, doublecheck it.
reboot your phone and navigate back to system\app and install Swype.apk, you shouldnt have any trouble now.
goto settings\language & keyboard and open swype settings, then go back and check the swype check box.
your swype should be fully functional now.

does anybody know where i can find these files to add it to my phone?

These files can be found on in any rom that has Swype installed with the rom. What Rom are you trying to put it on?
Finally got Swype to work...
... after rooting, I wanted to install Swype. Downloaded via the Swype webpage, but kept getting "Trial Period Has Ended."
They suggested uninstalling the older version, and reinstalling via the Installer. Problem was, uninstalling was not an option. The work around is: Using a root file explorer (I used AntTek Explorer), you'll need to rename/delete the existing Swype files in order to reinstall the newer working version. To do this, start your root-explorer and navigate to /system/app/Swype.apk, and rename it (I added .bak to the file name). Then do the same for /system/lib/libSwypecore.so
Now reboot your phone, then rerun the Swype Installer! Wallla!
I ran swype for a few hours, and found I didn't like it.
I recently flashed Liquid Smooth 3.1 and I'm liking it so far, the only drawback is that it removes the stock DX File Manager, and doesn't offer one of its own. I'm using Astro now which isn't bad, but I still kinda want the original back. Can anyone direct me to the .apk file for it, or take the .apk from their system apps so I can have a copy?
Thanks.
Don't know if it'll simply install for you...
http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/4.5.602/
Might need to try manually moving it...
Changing permissions.
And I'm not sure what blur framework has been removed in this rom...but I'd assume you'll need some of it.
So you may be out of luck.
Didn't work, but I appreciate the help and that looks like a useful source.
Thanks
Have you just tired any other file managers. Like root explorer?
You could just use rom manager to download a stock rom. Then unzip it and goto system/apps and get the file manager app. Then use root explorer and put it in the same file on your phone and reboot or adb push.

Yes
Probably stupid, but did you check in Titanium Backup? If you were rooted stock and did a batch backup of all your apps before flashing, then it will definitely be there.
I personally prefer ES File Explorer over the Stock File manager and any other 3rd-Party apps...
Hi there, i am using the Redux2 HD2 rom. And it still uses the old android market. And i woul'd like to update that one. So i downloaded the latest marktet .apk and tried to install it. However it does not install it. It jus't gives me: "Application not installed' . I've tried resetting and stopping the market. I've tested other .apk's. And i still have the same problem
you can't just install it, you need to manually replace the market application.
just flash the REVERT-TO-NEW-MARKET-V2-CWM.zip in CWM or take MarketUpdater.apk and vending.apk and place them in the /system/app/ folder on your phone.
Hope I have been of help..

for me just installing the .apk works because android replaces the old market app
Hi. I accidentally deleted my stock gallery app so I re-downloaded it (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449815) to try to install it again. Apparently I can't just re-install it because it's a system app so it keeps telling me that it's not installed. I tried a file manager to move the apk file into the system/app folder and changed the permission to rw--r--r--. I restart after that and now I can find the gallery app installed on my phone, but it crashes right away every time I try to open it ("Gallery has stopped working"). It also doesn't work whenever I go into camera and tap on the photo browser box because it also says gallery stopped working.
I'm on Kitkat right now with root access and I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please help!

First, are you on NC2 leak or NC4 OTA? I'm not sure if it matters with a gallery apk but you never know.
If you're on NC2 leak go to Beans thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52088473&postcount=1
If you're on NC4 go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53508270&postcount=1
1) Next, I'd download the rom for whatever you're on NC2 or NC4.
2) Extract rom zip with 7zip or Winrar or whatever your zip extraction program is.
3) Look for the secgallery.apk and pull the apk from the folder and transfer to your phone on your sd card.
4) Once on your sd card use your file explorer with root access. I prefer Root Explorer, if you don't have it it's worth buying to me.
5) Push the secgallery apk to system/priv-app and set permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot and see if that helps.
6) If you still have problems try going to settings>application manager>all>then look for gallery and clear cache and see if that works
I don't know if you should use the apk you got from that link you posted as I don't know if it's been altered or not. It might be as easy as you putting that secgallery apk you have already in system/priv-app instead of system/app but let's be on the safe side. That's why I said download Beans stock rooted roms.
Hopefully this works for you.
EDIT: After going through both roms I have on my pc it appears the gallery is the same so I pulled it and uploaded here for you : http://d-h.st/9TK Let me know once you have it so I can take it down.

Oh my goodness, you're a life safer! It finally worked after spending many hours trying to figure out what was wrong. I guess it's because I use the wrong apk and also because I put it in the wrong folder in the system root. After I downloaded the apk you provided, I moved the file to system/priv-app and changed the permission. After rebooting, gallery is now working perfectly fine again instead of crashing.
Thank you so much for your help! I really couldn't have figured this out on my own without your information!
