Deleted "accounts and sync" in my settings

After I rooted my vibrant to get lag fix, I decided to get titanium backup to remove some bloatware. Like the IDIOT I am I deleted the accounts and sync. I can turn sync on with my stock android widget so my calendar and emails sync. But it has been erased from my settings, and force closes every time I try to open it. Can anyone help me!! PLEASE!!!

I think this is what i'm missing
I need to get this " com.android.providers.subcribedfeeds " when I look in my system/app folder I still see the account and sync still there even though I used titanium backup to remove it. Then when I look in setting/manage application "com.android.providers.subcribedfeeds " is there ready to be unistalled. This was never there before and it has a size of " 0kb "

Figure out how to push it to /system/apps on your own (hint: use: ADB or Root Explorer). I uploaded this a while back.

XDA is the best
Thank you so much i used root explorer and it works as good as new. This place is the best.

Edit: got the zip opened on my computer and got the sets of files but when I tendered then from sd card to system/apps using root explorer, the files vanish and don't show up anywhere not even the sd card
I too made the same mistake by deleting the file. I downloaded the file from the link onto my phone but when I extract the .zip file using root explorer there's nothing in it

sorry tobring an old thread up..
so i goofed up and deleted acct and sync as well.. does this prevent my phone from mounting up via USB. i cant seem to mount it at all now...
any help is appreciated.

i did. problem is i cant DL root explorer since i cannot connect to the market due to acct and sync unable to perform its function.
i've got the zip for media share. i was wondering if there's a short cut to just mount the phone and drag the files over?

you can try to move it using Terminal Emulator commands.
Gotta research those cmds though... I don't know them.

I sent you a pm. go read it.

thanks buddy, im trying to push the acctandsync.apk back via adb
i get this error message
[INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]
any ideas?

I think I did the same thing
I just so noticed that on titanium backup that this was deleted with out a backup. I do not remember deleting this but I guess I did. I am unable to get to access accounts and synchronization on settings. In every other respects my phone works just fine
Here is what I did to trouble shoot, I did not use adb, every time I attempt to set it up I never get it right. I did however get an apk from a Samsung Galaxy sII dump on this forum. I used root explorer to copy it into the system/apps folder I gave it the right permissions and restarted my phone. I still do not have this option in TB nor in setting. I am able to get notification via yahoo mail client however. I just would really like to get this back if possible.
I am not sure if this helps but I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II 4g. Sad to say there is no Nandroid or CWM so that is out of the question...
Thanks for taking the time to read this

Just flash back to JFD.

Your in the wrong forum for starters.....
Just flash a rom for your phone whether it be the stock rom or a custom one

How do you restore your Settings/Apps after flashing? [UPDATE]

So,
now that the first usable ROMs for X8 pop up i am wondering: what is the easiest way to import all your settings to a new ROM?
i am thinking of Apps, App-Settings, Sync-Settings (gmail, Roadsync..), SMS, Mails etc etc...
Restoring/Setting this up manually after every installation of a new ROM takes some time.
What is your trick for the lazy people?
How much can be backed up with Titanium Backup? I'm still not sure about this.
What other Apps can you recommend?
update: found a solution at lifehacker today.

Non of them will work when going from ROM to ROM. When you go to a new ROM, you should backup the previous one so you can go back to the default when there is a problems with the Custom ROM.
Basically, you can't transfer apps or anything from one ROM to another. You will have to manually install them yourself, take a list of them and download/install again. I wish it could work but it cant ):

Too bad.
Ok, I cant backup apps this way.
Is there a way or script to automatically install apps (apks) from a folder on sdcard?
Maybe I could use AppBrain to sync apps.
But how about System Settings, Accounts...

Hm, actually come to think of it .. If your phone is rooted (obviously is lol) you can go to Root Explorer or any root application manager, go to System>App and if you can transfer them to your SD card, I use Root Explorer, just select all and zip them, then transfer to SD card .. All the .apk's will be in the zip file. I suppose just install one by one
As for system settings, accounts etc. those can't be backed up .. You'll just have to be updated manually :L Don't be lazy haha

just found this tip from lifehacker using titanium backup. looks pretty convinient.
if someone tries this, please report if you have success.

Use this, for me it's the best way.
Titanium backup can store all your current apps and data settings for theseapps, too.
After flashing your new ROM, install Titanium backup and restore your backuped apps. Works fine.

Titanium is what you need not cwm.
Sent from my HD2 GingerDroid CM7 using XDA App

titanium is not included in all roms , and therefor i can't use it until i send it via bluetooth or download it every time a install a new build

should work. mount your data partition and extract your apps to /data/app. thats what your script should do. done.

thanks a lot

If you want to do it from CWM just turn phone off then turn phone back on hold the red power button down till you boot into MAGLDR. From there choose option 8 then choose backup and restore then choose backup the phone will backup everything including your data. reboot phone when done then you will havwe a full backup of that rom data and configuration saved directly to memory card for use anytime later and you can also save it to your computer.

Titanium backup - cant access folder from PC

Hey guys!
i want to use TB to backup all my apps and save games - so first i wanted to ask, do i back up user apps AND system Data? or just user apps? also i saw that some stuff in "system data" seems like fundamental things that might change with a new rom.. so how does that work?
2nd,
i used the backup option and put it in the "Downloads" folder, (for easy access), i also have 3 extra pics there.
when i conncet the USB (debugging is on) to the PC and open DOWNLOADS folder in the phone, i only see the 3 files, no TB backup folder,
show hidden files and folders is activated on my PC... also tried this in a few diff folders but nada..
help?

If I'm going to be switching ROMs I usually just backup user data...I've had problems in the past restoring system data on a new ROM.
As far as transferring the TitaniumBackup folder to your PC, its my understanding that since Jellybean (or maybe even ICS, I don't remember) devices connect as MTP devices (and not mass storage) so you can't see non-media files from Windows Explorer.
I'm not sure what everyone else is doing, but I've just been using adb to pull the TitaniumBackup folder from the phone. You could probably also just use one of the Samba servers in the Play Store to setup a windows accessible shared drive on your phone and copy the backup folder over wifi.

[Q] Nexus 4 > Old Contacts Import

This may have been covered elsewhere, but I'm having a hard time finding it.
I backed up my old phone contacts with Titanium. I've been using my Nexus 4 with the imported Google contacts, but there are some gaps. I'd normally place the old Titanium Files into the Titanium Folder (via Windows) and restore.
However, I have limited access to the file structure for the Nexus 4.
I've tried work-arounds like Dropbox, etc... but, in all honesty, I wasn't sure what I was doing. The file I managed to pull and restore via dropbox gave me a error in the Nexus that would end process the contact area.. so I defaulted back to the normal contacts Titanium Nexus backup. So.. back to the original setup.
Can anyone tell me how to get an old Titanium file of contacts to merge (ideally) with the Nexus? I could probably just replace it with the old file as well, seeing as the Nexus will auto-add contacts to google (apparently).. so that would be easy enough to update.
Any ideas? The easiest, I think, would be to gain access to the Titanium file under windows.. but I can't find a way to do that. Most of the file structure seems to be locked out/invisible.
I'd appreciate any ideas or help!

What is your old phone model? I'd suggest using a file manager to bring the file to an accessible location on the phone (possibly the root of your usbstorage), then you can copy it to your computer hopefully via usb. It could also be that you need to change the permissions on that file so you can see it on windows. You can access most of the file structure inside usbstorage, where your titanium backup folder should be ideally located.

The old phone is an HTC Sapphire, but that connects to the computer fine & the titanium file is already saved on the computer.
Ok, I figured out the problem. The file structure for the Nexus won't show up with debugging enabled. Disabling it gets the new MTP protocol to work for me. Any idea if it's supposed to work that way?
Thanks for the help!

Hmm weird...It should work regardless of having debugging enabled or not. If you can access your files without debugging being enabled, then just stick to transferring using MTP. It shouldn't really affect transferring files that much since you still have access to the root of your storage.

Don't restore your contacts that way. It will cause issues as the way HTC stores its contacts are very different then anything you will find here.

Thanks for the head's up. I figured google-based would be the same. I've already done manual entries for most of them, so I'll stick with that.
