Accidently uninstalled stock messaging - impossible to get system/app to r/w? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there no way to get system/app to r/w? Been trying every app and terminal command to let me remount so I can reinstall my backup of the messaging apk and it just doesn't work.

I use Root Explorer and have had no problem using"Mount R/W" in system/app.

Ok that worked but it crashes attempting to install the backup, anyone got a stock messanging.apk they can toss my way?

Bleh. Copied to system/app, still get application not installed. Reboot with it in there and it doesn't show up either. At a loss here.

Any chance you can toss me the matching .odex file to that apk?

Here you go. You'll need to rename the file to delete the .zip extension.

Yep, they're set correctly

Now it's giving me the option to update or new install this system app. Problem is I don't see an already installed version obviously.

try downloading a custom rom for your cellphone, just for extracting the messaging app

have you tried to use adb to install it?

[HELP] Accidently deleted Status bar =((

I accidently deleted status bar on my arc using titanium backup, I did make a back up before I delete it.
Does anyone can help me restore it? the restore function in titanium doesn't work... I can't see the restore file in the restore section, but I can see it in the backup folder which called "com.android.systemui"
Thanks in Advance!
P.S. The phone is a lot smoother than before tho... =S
you could just reflash the software (seus or flashtool) then do a full restore from titanium
Is that the only way I can do? Oils like everything is fine without the status bar, maybe I will just keep like this.
Thanks !!

no,
you can get the file from someone and put it back in system/app folder but make sure permission are correct
do you have lt15a or i?

sorry i was wrong, in the /sdcard/TitaniumBackup there are two files.
1.com.android.systemui -date-properties 7.16 kb
2. com.android.systemui-date-tar.gz 146 byte
, looks like it is empty after I use root explorer to unzip the second file?

Stock Thinkfree office

My P500 came stock with Thinkfree office, but I sorta miss it after flashing newer ROMs.
Does anyone have the apk for this? (Is it legit to ask for this?)
If it's not, then reccos for a free/cheap app are welcome
Thanks.
here it is...
Thanks a bunch man, trying it out now.

I installed the apk, but when I try to update, it forces close!
Any idea as to what can be done ?
Thanks
install it as a system app then you can update
Updated APK attached. (Ver 2.0.110222 from the lgeglobal trunk)
Having the same Update FC issues in custom roms, I updated it from the stock rom before porting it over. Install as system app.
Disclaimer: This isn't from the market trunk and the License Verfication is not circumvented, so technically it should only work with LG phones that have it preinstalled (verified via phone IMEI). However if mods consider this a ware and against forum rules, feel free to delete it. It is not my intention to pirate or distribute illegally.

Gallery App

Hi,
For some reason, my gallery app was causing my xoom to stay awake 100% of the time and I had no idea why...
So I just deleted it...
But now I need to use the gallery! I have tried a few links but none seem to work! If someone could attach it or a link or tell me how to get it back it would be of grat help.
Thanks!

This is why you never want to actually delete the file but instead rename. If you are using a ROM you can just reflash the ROM over it, otherwise, here's the gallery files I pulled, push these files to /system/app/
thanks a lot
Hey I had the same problem,,,did it work, deleting it? I saved it then deleted it and it still says my xooms battery is using 56 percent of my battery LOL when it is gone?

You could have extracted the apk from the rom or even used a third party app like quickpic.

It's the same permission as the others in the /system/app directory. It needs to be 744, rw-r--r--.

You check the appropriate boxes. There are 3 columns with 3 boxes each total 9. Check all in the left column & 1 St and 2 md in the middle column. Leave all others un checked. Reboot

So close, but not quite chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk
The apk's themselves don't execute. The dalvik cache executes But as far as Gallery not sleeping, maybe it is trying to sync Picassa or something.
yeah, you're right, it's 644, still not fully used to the permissions in linux -_-

Check if you have in your /system/app files with the extension .odex
If so you have odex rom
try this ...put the apk and the odex file from zip in your /system/app (make sure to hit the mount as r/w in your root explorer) and change permissions to rw-r--r--
Then reboot and check again
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
yes have quite a few odex files in the system/app folder. I did copy both files there and changed the permissions for both. How do I mount with ES File Explorer?

if you already copy them ,then your /system is already mounted as r/w

Anybody have any idea why copying the Gallery apk and odex files to the system/app folder, and setting the permissions to rw-r--r-- doesnt get the galery app to work?
bumping it up to try to get somebody who knows the answer to notice.
How can I install again a system Gallery app I accidentally deleted?
So far using ES File Explorer I copied the apk and odex files to /system/app folder, set permissions to rw-r--r--. The files are secGallery2_Galaxy.apk and secGallery2_Galaxy.odex.
It gives me a Gallery icon but clicking it just reopens the Home screen or it gives me a message "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped."

Try clearing its data. If all fail, just re flash with mobile odin or pc odin. Just make sure not to flash the data.img if the rom has one. Flashing that would clear user data.

If you mean to clear data in settings/manage applications, I did that and it didnt work. While writing this I though of clearing the cash in CWM. Does that have a chance of doing something?

Putting it into data/app installs is, fixing permissions is just so it will show in the app drawer
Make sure you have Security => Unknown Apps checked and Verify Apps unchecked
Apps install fine for me by clicking an .apk
Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.
