[Q] Reinstalling Timescape

Hi. Been searching everywhere and cant find a way to reinstall timescape.
I have tried system/apps but the apk is not there anymore or anything that is connected to Timescape.
The reason I deleted timescape is because it is one of the reasons that the battery life is so bad on the X10.
Now I cant get to my contacts. I am using acontacts.apk but for some reason the resolution is very bag on my contacts pics.
I have found a timescape.apk but it says it cannot install on my device. Maybe the apk is compatible for certain builds?
Maybe someone can suggest another app for contacts with a better pic resolution.
Thanks in advance
Oh yes : using rooted 026

Here a the Timescape.apk file

Thanks man.
DL now will let you if everything is cool.

You need to correct the permissions of the apk file once you have copied it over to system\app otherwise it will give you the error you stated in your earlier post.

@ dong2007 - Hi thanks man worked like a bomb.
@ Marylandcookie : I didnt have to change permissions just installed .apk
I thought that there were diff. versions of timescape.apk for diff. firmwares thats y it didnt work with the one I dl

Says I am out of space and can't install apk when I have 800+mb left, why?

I'm not even installing a game, just another app that takes a few mb's.
I go into storage and see I have 800mb left.
What's the problem?
it says: "_____ couldn't be installed. Free up some space and try again."

i have faced this problem, try to uninstall the app u install before this message

i'm actually having problem with only one app- vplayer.
can anyone help?
I can install other apps no problem. I'm trying to download vplayer from the play market, and it just wouldn't install. It says not sufficient storage, but I do have sufficient storage, and I can install other apps no problem.
I had vplayer previously, but uninstall it, is there anyplace I can clear the data? this is quite frustrating

You can try deleting the .odex file for that app under /data/app (I think you might need a root explorer)

if you are rooted, otherwise
open Terminal
Code:
su
cd /data
cd /app
ls
rm (packagename.odex)
ls will allow u to see the list of all the files in that folder and help u type the exact name with ease.

Just download lucky patcher it will automatically remove unused odex files

Did you enable RW permissions in root explorer before deleting files? It is at the top of the page.

At the top of the system/apps page you can mount as Read or RW, set to RW.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling Root Explorer, that may help.

Wait a moment, looking at permissions .......
See what the problem is, go to system, open it and then at the top of the page Mount r/w, now it is mounted as R/O, open app and you can modify/delete files. Had to unlock the bootloader and root to see this

thx now it works with root explorer can you please helpe my with ES DATA Explorer i want to use this

I`am not familiar with ES File Explorer but at the top bar press the / icon, then you come into Device and open system and then app and from there you can delete files. I can not get root access though, mabe only for the paid version. But that is the method i think

Use a root browser like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, and copy the .apk files into data/app
Reboot into recovery, and fix permissions

How do I fix permissions or is there an option to do that in clockwork mod?
Also, would it be possible to use mobileodin to do that instead

Putting it into data/app installs is, fixing permissions is just so it will show in the app drawer
Make sure you have Security => Unknown Apps checked and Verify Apps unchecked
Apps install fine for me by clicking an .apk
Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.

Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, to try and install with your original method, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.

smart remote for galaxy s4 and candy crush saga v1.0.7

Accidently uninstalled stock messaging - impossible to get system/app to r/w?

Is there no way to get system/app to r/w? Been trying every app and terminal command to let me remount so I can reinstall my backup of the messaging apk and it just doesn't work.

I use Root Explorer and have had no problem using"Mount R/W" in system/app.

Bleh. Copied to system/app, still get application not installed. Reboot with it in there and it doesn't show up either. At a loss here.

Here you go. You'll need to rename the file to delete the .zip extension.

Yep, they're set correctly

Now it's giving me the option to update or new install this system app. Problem is I don't see an already installed version obviously.

try downloading a custom rom for your cellphone, just for extracting the messaging app
