and download the talk with AV.zip file attachment and use root explorer to install to system/app. backup existing talk.apk just in case with titanium back up, and install the .lib file with root explorer to system/lib then reboot.

Don't forget to change permissions and rename talk2.apkto talk.apk
New Google talk video option will be there now.

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).

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

Cool .
I've had issues with uninstalling swype for the longest time. Here is the thorough uninstall process for Swype.
Figured it out from another topic. Swype can be installed PROPERLY now. Working great too. Here are the instructions. Just follow them exactly and you're set.
1.Remove libswype from system/lib (using root explorer, or astro. MUST BE ROOTED to be able to remove files)
2.Remove swype.apk from system/app
3.Reboot into recovery, clear dalvik.cache.
4.Install new swype.
NOTE: To access system/lib and system/app you will need a root-based file manager such as Root Explorer. Root Explorer can be found on the market and is very useful all around.
i dont get it... at the end you say install new swype.. i thought you wanted swype gone?
He says that because the DX has version 1.64(?) And the latest is on version 2.15 (I think?). The builtin version can't be upgraded with the normal installer.
Where is version 2.15?
when i try to delete libswype/swype.apk it tells me I can because they're read only. any idea?

Do you have root explorer?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
So I was reading on how to change my name on Google Talk and someone suggested removing the app and installing it again.
After I used a ROM Toolbox Pro to uninstall talk, downloaded an apk to install it again and its not working !
Sorry for being a noob, but how do I get it back?

download es file ex file explorer and move it with root to /system/app, then it should install itself....
Maybe you could attach it on your post here (the apk) cause u need it

One additional step, when you move the APK to /system/app make sure that you set the permissions properly. System apps need to be rw-r--r-- (644).
And reboot after setting the permissions. The app should be there.
can't acces the gtalk
after all process
can't login

Cerberus is a security app that lets you remotely, wipe, lock and track your phone as well as remotely take pictures and access call/text logs. There is an option to install it from a zip so it can't be uninstalled by someone that steals the phone.

You don't actually have to flash Cerberus to system/app with a zip file. Just download Cerberus from the Play Store, then use a root browser like Root Explorer to move the apk from data/app to system/app and reboot. Make sure you've set system/app to read-write (R/W in Root Explorer) before you paste the apk there.

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!
