Anybody know what files need to be in the system/app folder for the stock launcher?
Blurhome.apk doesnt seem to be working.
EDIT: I have the VZW_2.4.5 rom and putting blurhome.apk into system/app seems to just duplicate the crap out of the ringtones, after removing the .apk the duplicates stay so i had to go back to a backup.

So I just updated from the leaked .13 froyo to OTA. As I was restoring apps and removing bloatware through Titanium Backup, I deleted the "Accounts" application. I thought it would remove the icon from the application drawer, which it did. However, now when I go to Settings > Accounts, I get a force close; also, the sync icon remains in my status bar. Can anyone either send me the apk, or the backup files from titanium??
Thanks in advance!

Is your phone deodexed or not?? I ask because if it is... you need a deodexed Account apk.
Can someone please explain deodex-ing please.
Look for chadhaney(. Com). Sorry for the (), I'm a new user and can't post links. Look for droid x default and it has downloads for all the stock apps.
This is the page i use to reinstall bloatware/system apps. After you download, it will save to your sd card.

In simple terms... deodexed is making your phone available to be themed. It removes all of the .odex files in the system/framework and system/app and combine them with their corresponding .apk
In a stock phone you will have as an example Camera.apk & Camera.odex. If you deodex your phone, the two .apk and .odex will be combined into one Camera.apk.
That is also how to check if your system is deodexed or not... look in your system/app & system/framework folders and if you do not see any .odex, then you are deodexed and ready for themes.
Sounds like you are not deodex so just follow what Lt1demon says.
Can anyone make a backup of the stock system/apps folder with all the "bloatware" apk files. I made the mistake of deleting them instead of renaming, I need to get the original apk's on my phone so I can update! I've been looking/asking all over with no luck!
Thanks!
Im also looking for this. I backed up my apps, had a noob moment and accidentally deleted some of the backups while trying to get rid of the original.

Thanks! The systemdump had exactly what I was looking for.
Sorry I'm extremely new at this, what do I do with this file? I've deleted the clock application on accident while deleting the other clock widgets and want it back, but I'm not sure how to install the files once I've downloaded it onto my computer. Also considering to unroot to get the update. Please help.
As shocking as it may seem I want some blur on my phone! Im currently running gummy 2.5 but after using blur for a couple of months i miss the messaging, email, alarm, camera, sticky note widget and most importantly the icons! is there anyway for me to get any of this back? I tried installing the apks but to no avail. I think I could do with just the icons. Any advice? Thanks!
They won't install like normal apks to the best of my knowledge. You seem to have all of the APKs though from blur so try one of these methods, not 100% sure it will work but it likely should. (Edit: I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about with the icons, but this should help you get the APKs you want back)
REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING EITHER OF THESE!
1) Download the empty InstallAPKs.zip from this post.
2) Open the archive in 7z or winrar
3) Navigate to system/app and put all the APKs you wan't to install into the zip (just drag them into the archive and let it add/update them. I'd have stuck them in the zip for you but I don't have any blur apks with me)
4) Reboot recovery and install the zip
or
1) You could manually go into the system folder and replace the apks using root explorer. Remember to set permissions to 644 for each file you replace if doing this.
my friends evo is rooted but he deleted standard email and messaging. Is there any way of getting them back?
anyone have ideas?
Find out what ROM he is running and download a copy of the ROM to a computer. Unzip the file and under /system/app you should find the apk's he uninstalled.
all he did was root, he must still be on stock. once i find the apk's do they need to be flashed or just putting them in the folder on the phone will work?
thanks
So, I download the Go Launcher Ex APK, and the ICS Go Launcher Theme APK.
I have extracted both APKs, and I have copied over the theme files to the actual launcher APK.
From there, I have re-zipped the launcher APK and placed it into my /system/app, but for some reason I am getting a force close.
Should I sign the APK and place it in the /data/app? I know that if it is going into the /system it should NOT be signed, so I'm unsure what is wrong.
Anyone know what might be causing the force close? Thanks
