Help! Music.apk

Hi, i have deleted the music.apk from my newly rooted X10 while trying some things out.
Any chance some one could pull it from there handset and upload it for me?
I have tried the music.apk from a AOSP build but it says its in compatible.
Thanks in Advance

+1
I want it too and I have tried several APKs and didn't worked
EDIT 1: Nevermind, I tried to put the Music.apk file on the /system/app folder, restarted, and got on a loop =(
I'm restoring right now.

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.

Remove/Disable unwanted applications/running services

I installed JM6 (the 'old' way) and my phone is Rooted via SuperOneClick.
How can I remove standard installed applications (eg. Ereader, Calculator etc) and how can I see which applications/services are running and how can I remove unwanted services running in the background?

Get Root explorer from the market. Can delete apps with it but be careful you dont delete anything you shouldnt.

Can you tell me how Root Explorer works? (how to delete apps/services, how to see which are running)

You delete apps from Data/apps or system/apps. Most apps are named so youll recognise them. Delete the .odex and .apk

And where do I find which services/application are running (after booting) and where do I disable/enable them?

DO NOT DELETE ! (move to internal or external SD card, just in case you need to restore)

I'm a recent convert to Titanium Backup. In the pro version you can "freeze" processes. I'm not exactly sure, but what I think it does is close the process and copy the app to a cache folder.it's no longer running and it doesn't show up in the launcher. All you have to do is unfreeze it to bring it back.

How has Titanium Backup performed for you? Have you noticed any adverse affects from its use? I am looking to lock down the Galaxay tablet for use in one of our departments. Titanium Backup seems to be the way to go. I assume you need to root the device in order to use it?

Second that. Leave them where they are and just rename the apk to apkx.
When you reboot they will be gone, but can be easliy restored by removing the 'x'
Be warned though, if you remove the wrong app's you can get stuck in all sorts of 'force close hell'
Not then end of the world though and is a safer method of playing with your android devices.
Root explorer and ADB are your friends

I've found Titanium Backup does the trick using the freeze option. Very handy should you want to get an app back again. As said, be very careful deleting something, or at least make a copy on your sdcard just in case .
Oh and make sure USB Development is ticked just in case the only way back in is via an adb shell!

I cant update android market

Can someone upload newest android market because i delete market updater because newest update dint work now new update was release and i cant update.
Thanks.

Here you go!

Dont work.
I open market select app then market crash can someelse upload market and market updater.
Thanks.

I just deleted my Vending.apk as well. Tried several .apks, but none have come to the rescue quite yet.
Is there an easier way to restore the marked app?

you probably need root control, or gotta restore your whole system with xRecovery. I deleted gmail (a default app) one time by mistake, and I had no choice but recover my system through xRecovery.

Could someone provide me with an update.zip containing the Market app? I've tried several copies of the .apk, but still the Market app won't start.

I can give but all my apps,gmail,contacts will be your

[Trick!] Get more free Phone Memory & Speed up your Device!!!

Requirements :
Xperia Arc [Rooted]*
Root Explorer
How :
First... Update all your standard programs in your phone, from Market [Example : Gmail, Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Maps, Adobe Flash Player, Data Monitor & ...]
Download your important programs from Market [Example for me : Root Explorer, Adobe Reader, Bluetooth File Explorer, Advanced Task Killer, Facebook Messenger & ...]
Open "Root Explorer"
Go to "/data/app" folder.
Press Menu key, then press "Multi-select" Button.
Select all file (Programs).
Press "Copy" Button.
Now, Go to "/system/app" folder.
Press "Paste" Button.
For Now, delete old programs, if you new programs is paste this folder. [Example : COPY "com.google.android.apps.maps.apk" from "/data/app" to "/system/app". So DELETE "google maps.apk" (old file)]
Sync or Backup your personal data, if you have.
Factory Reset Device from Phone, with Erase Memory Card.
Finish!
Now you can see over 200-250 MB Free storage in Phone Memory! While your application is installed in internal memory!!!
* I think this trick is working for other Android Device (Rooted!).

updated market (com.android.vending.apk for your case) should be inside /data/app

Sweet trick, as long as I don't update any apps in the future

If you update an app isn't just a case of moving it from data/app to system/app?
Does the factory reset do that much?

No, isn't...
Yes... If you do factory reset, all your app (changed app) is updated...

What does 'convert to system app' do in Titanium Backup?
Any advantage/space saving?

or you can just use app2sd

I tired that many times without success. I tired to convert the FB to a normal application ending up TB running for about 8 hours and my battery dead. After I booted up the phone, FB is neither here nor there and ended up restoring from backup!
Not sure it's only happening to me though .

I have just tried to move one app and it is working fine without factory reset.
Thanks allot for this excellent tip to save some space
I copied data from /data/app to /system/app, then uninstalled the app and rebooted device. The app is now a system app, not sure if it will work for all kinds of apps, will continue to move more of my apps to the /system/app folder.
One disadvantage could be that upgrading firmware also requires that all the systemized apps are reinstalled.

Im using the a2sd script + titanium backup's ability to freeze a background app/process then unfreeze them\it when I need it
very useful indeed

Cannot find some preinstalled in \system\app after upgrade to ICS and rooting

Dear all,
Yesterday I updated my P7510 to ICS using the UK ICS release and rooted the thing properly. I managed to delete some of the preinstalled apps using RootExplorer in the \system\app folder, but for example I cannot find the apk to get rid of Pulse (what is the name of the apk in this case). Is it located somewhere else or is there another folder in which apps are stored as well? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Although I can help you with the location, manually deleting the apps from /system/app seems like to much "work". Just get Titanium Backup and uninstall (and probably backup first) Pulse and all the other via the app.

Thanks for your reply. In the mean time I kicked out all unwanred preinstalled apps manually, so I am only looking for the apk name of pulse

I found that some apps were just "Installed" have you tried to just uninstall them?

Not all apps are installed to /system/apps when you ODIN flash, check /data/app for the Pulse.
