I cant launch my camera anymore. The .apk is still there and not modified but when i try to launch the camera from launcher pro it doesnt load. There is no icon for it on the homescreen and ive not removed it. launching the camera from other apps doesnt work either.
I tried to install the modified camera hack that comes with darkys rom but that wasnt successful so i downloaded busybox and tried again, even though busybox seems to have already been installed.
Any ideas why my camera doesnt work or does anybody have the original .apk?
If you download the camera hack for either GB or Froyo(which ever one your on), and get an app that can R/W into the system of your phone you can just copy it into system/app/. You can use File Expert for this, just download go into it's settings>File Explorer settings and enable root explorer. Then copy the camera apk from your sd and navigate to the system>app folder and mount as r/w, then paste the apk. If you want the original apk that came with Darky's rom use a program like Winrar to copy the Camera .apk from it. Hope this helps

Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA Premium App
get the deodexed apps of ur original firmware
search for the allshare apk file
root ur phone
get root explorer or any other root enabled file explorer
copy the .apk file to system/app and reboot ur phone
Kyrillos v4 final:
I tried to install the dlna.apk with Easy Installer (message: not installed). Then I tried to move the apk with File Expert directly into the system/app folder where all other apk where. It did tell me that it is handling this copy but nothing appeared in this folder...
Tried it again with File Manager but he wouldn't let me Paste the file into the folder...
What next? Any ideas?
Thanks
did u enable R\W mode???
good question. I just realized that the folder is still on read-only.
I tried to use terminal emulator and type "chmod 755 ./system/" to change the rights but I got "unable to chmod system. read-only file system"...
So what did I miss?
use the built in switcher in root explorer or other file managers( e-strongs or astro) i know both have r\w toggle
or goto data\app and paste it there
u need to manually change permissions for each folder
So with root explorer I just go to the folder and change the rights into r/w?
If I understood correctly I need to change the rights first in system then in app, right?
Root Explorer rocks
I managed to change the rights (with "Mount R/W") andthis changed the rights also for the subfolders. Then I pasted the dlna.apk file into the app folder. Then I changed the rights back to r/o.
After reboot it took some time to get everything up again, and all my apps where again unsorted on the different screens.
The file is still in the folder but no allshare application in my programs....
So I copied the file into the data/app folder...
Reboot (didn't take a long time) still no app there...
What now?
Maybe someone knows another app from the market which can do the same thing, also for Samsung and other brands?
Thanks
did u get the deodexed apps from JPM rom or any other
& what do u allshare for???
I downloaded the dlna.apk from the internet and tried to install it with easy installer. I'm not sure whether it is from JPM How can I find out?
I want to use allshare with a Samsung TV.
Having flashed Kyrillos ROM.
Was that the question?

free from market
Download system app+framework file from kyrillos rom post n copy dlna file to system/app using root explorer!
I am trying to install APK's that I deleted. I moved the copied APK's from the SD card to the system/App file and tried to install through root explorer but I keep getting error (application not installed)? I have reset permissions and tried again but same error, any help?
For future reference?
If u want to change for example the camera app /apk you have to place the new apk where the old one was instead of installing ...if thats your problem ^^
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
System APK's or APK's in use (loaded at startup) cannot be installed, you would have to copy and paste, or push the file to the location which would overwrite the old one if the file name is the same.
I was (like an idiot) trying to edit the browser icon by using root explorer & APK Manager
When I went to implement what I had done in APK manager into root explorer I replaced my browser.apk app and aparently what I had done didnt work
I made a backup of Browser.apk and I even tar'd it but I cant figure out how to get the browser back - when I click install it says "installation was not complete"
Extract the backup then use root explore to copy backup to /system/app then set correct permission on
browser.apk rw-r--r--.... Reboot see if that helps..
That's exactly what I did except for the reboot, thanks for the suggestions (trying it right now)
It worked Thanks
Any idea on how to change some of the icons easily without getting a launcher? I want the icons like on the Droid Bionic
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. 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!
