I accidentally deleted the default contacts apk from my kindle fire. Could somebody with a rooted device post the apk of the contacts apk.
Note: i was trying get google contacts sync working, then read somewhere else that I actually need the stock contacts apk. Doh!
There you go!
BTW, after rooting and installing the googleblahblahblahframework, you need an app named sync settings to access the sync settings page and enable contact sync and voilá!
Actually, you don't have to download sync settings at all!
go to gmail>>>menu>>>accounts>>>(dont click your account)>>>hit menu again>>>account settings>now hit your account and you're in your sync settings.
Contact sync?
Is one of those options contacts because I am not seeing it...

I have also accidently uninstalled default contact app..(titanimum backup does not allow to restore)..
your contacts.apk link...how do i install
1. can i restore contacts via recovery flash/install zip..???
IF NOT HOW..
can you explain..
THANKS ALL
Rash, instilation is easy. You need to use root explorer,copy and paste the apk in the /system/app folder then you have to set the permisions by holding down on the apk. Set the first column(vertically) so each box has an X. In the second column you need an X in the top box. The rest of the boxes need to be empty. For an example you can find the video tutorial on youtube about installing the market. Diffrent apk here but the steps are the same.
I hope its not to soon for a double post but could someone upload the contacts provider apk as well?
it's on the same site post #2
The attached file is only the contacts apk not the provider apk, and sync settings, if thats what you were refering to is not the same app to my knolwedge. The provider apk is from google. Even if thats needed i cant find it on the market from the fire.
do you mean the googlecontactssyncadapter.apk ?
all google files should be in gapps.zip

i havnt seeen anyone asked this but what happened to backupassitant i have fission vanilla rom 2.0.1 and i am trying to get my contacts back
never backed them up with your Google contacts?
You can export them from the verizon page, then import them into google/google sync
backup assistant fix for fission
I just had the same problem. you can download android-syncservice-app.apk and backupassistantclient.apk extract the apk's from these and use root explorer to add back to your system/app folder and then long press both and set the permissions then reboot and you will have backup assistant again after the reboot

i had tried this, it got backup assistant to work, however i was unable to view the contacts that it imported unless i searched for each individual one. the best answer is export to csv from verizon.com and import it into google contacts as noted earlier.

From DroidXForums FAQ section, I did a quick How-To regarding migrating contacts from MyVerizon (BUA) to Google Contacts:
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...s-phone-backup-assistant-google-contacts.html
For some reason acer decided not to put the exchange feature onto the tablet which i found quite annoying. thankfully user member id10terrordfw found a way to fix this and posted the apks.
to get exchange working you first need root and either root explorer (paid app but worth the money) or es file explorer (free but you have to enable root privaleges inside the app. its under the settings menu)
1. navigate to system/apps and copy email.apk and email.odex
2. past these to your sd card as a backup
3. rename email.apk and email.odex to email.apk.old and email.odex.old
4. extract the files from the download and past them into the system/apps folder. (they should be Email.apk and EmailWidget.apk)
5. once done you can then go to email and try and setup an exchange account.
previously it only gave an imap and pop3 selection on the manual setup page. now it should include exchange as an option.
tested and working by me
again a big big thank you to the original poster/fixer the original thread is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056968
I attempted these instructions but after renaming the email.apk and email.odex, the e-mail app doesn't show in the list of apps installed. I attempted to install the email app from the files provided and it won't install.
My tablet is rooted and I made the changes using Root Explorer.

you're not supposed to install them, just drop them in the correct folder
sorry my reply to this post didn't include that i extracted the files to my flash drive and copied the files from the flash drive to the system/apps folder.

Email FCs
I was able to copy the 2 APK files and configure my Exhange account but after it opens for a few seconds, it FCs.
Anyone had the same problem?
exchange is working
2 conditions:
1. you have to add an account in settings sync choose company
2. you have o define a pin code
3. you have to encrypt your device.
i am at the encryption stage takes an hour especailly to find out if it slows down somewhat.
so before barking check.
What a load of baloney. If you have the update from 139 or higher, all you have to do,with the default email client, is go to Settings , Accounts. Tap Add Account, Choose Corporate and set it up as normal. No PIN or encryption needed.

Getting exchange to work
Hi all,
I finally got it working but I had to do just about everything in this thread.
Use the (paid) Root Explorer, all the others just won't get the (root) privileges needed to rename and paste, eventhough they might say they have. I fiddled around with this for an hour before I gave up and bought the root explorer app.
Check the permissions of the original files (email.apk and email.obex), when you have pasted your new files into the /system/apps folder the permissions will probably be different. Reset them to what the original files were otherwise your e-mail app will not show up in the apps list.
Reboot! My email app disappeared and only returned when I rebooted.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the original post in this thread!!

PIN and Encryption requirements are set by your exchange server. Requirements change depending on how your IT has the server set up.
ok if you think so. I just can tell you that it will not allow to connect to exchange as long as you have not encryptet the device, and this has nothing to do with exchange requirements, but with standard ACER policy, ie. if you use it as a company device you should encrypt the device.
I am exchange administrator using as well exchange 2007 and 2010 virtualized exchange servers and i am sure i know what i am talking about. ACTIVESYNC does not require any encryption at all.
but of corse i am talking about the standard email client coming from ACER/GOOGLE, not some other made up email client needing root and so on.
but you can believe it or not, up to you, but that is the way it works.

Yes, I'm using the latest L Preview. I just renamed to gmail.apk, moved to system/app and it worked. I just can't get the exchange account to setup.
Tried out the google play music but whenever i try to open an album it crashes, but besides that it looks great
I have tried looking for another email app that is similar, but so far no luck.
There are several things I like about the stock app
1. separation by day (today, yesterday, last 7 days etc)
2. a checkbox to select all email from that day
so far most email apps seem to lack both of these things. most seem to be headed towards everything dumped into one group and 'swipe to delete email' stuff. But sometimes you have a few dozen (or more) junk emails and just want a simple checkbox to select all and delete.
So long story short: is there an .apk for the stock samsung email app? Or does anyone know of another email app that has these same functions?

unfortunately it isn't really an .apk file-type though. I've downloaded it, and it is a .zip file. So I unzipped it and it has 2 folders, and those 2 folders have even more folders inside of them...

After you download and extract the zip go to the extracted folder and then inside it to system/app and you'll find both the stock email app as well as the exchange apk if you need that too. Try to install the email app like any other apk. If it fails to install you will have to root your phone if it's still not and use something like Root Browser to put the email app's apk in your phone's system/app folder. Then you'll need to reboot the phone to see it with all your other applications.
PS: The zip file could easily be a flashable zip through a custom recovery like TWRP but I can't say for sure so better do it manually just in case. I'm not responsible for anything you do to your phone while trying this ^^ But the worst thing that could happen is that the app won't run.
