Need help..Accidentally deleted an app

So I just updated from the leaked .13 froyo to OTA. As I was restoring apps and removing bloatware through Titanium Backup, I deleted the "Accounts" application. I thought it would remove the icon from the application drawer, which it did. However, now when I go to Settings > Accounts, I get a force close; also, the sync icon remains in my status bar. Can anyone either send me the apk, or the backup files from titanium??
Thanks in advance!

Is your phone deodexed or not?? I ask because if it is... you need a deodexed Account apk.

Can someone please explain deodex-ing please.

Look for chadhaney(. Com). Sorry for the (), I'm a new user and can't post links. Look for droid x default and it has downloads for all the stock apps.
This is the page i use to reinstall bloatware/system apps. After you download, it will save to your sd card.

In simple terms... deodexed is making your phone available to be themed. It removes all of the .odex files in the system/framework and system/app and combine them with their corresponding .apk
In a stock phone you will have as an example Camera.apk & Camera.odex. If you deodex your phone, the two .apk and .odex will be combined into one Camera.apk.
That is also how to check if your system is deodexed or not... look in your system/app & system/framework folders and if you do not see any .odex, then you are deodexed and ready for themes.
Sounds like you are not deodex so just follow what Lt1demon says.

Getting some Blur back?

As shocking as it may seem I want some blur on my phone! Im currently running gummy 2.5 but after using blur for a couple of months i miss the messaging, email, alarm, camera, sticky note widget and most importantly the icons! is there anyway for me to get any of this back? I tried installing the apks but to no avail. I think I could do with just the icons. Any advice? Thanks!

They won't install like normal apks to the best of my knowledge. You seem to have all of the APKs though from blur so try one of these methods, not 100% sure it will work but it likely should. (Edit: I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about with the icons, but this should help you get the APKs you want back)
REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING EITHER OF THESE!
1) Download the empty InstallAPKs.zip from this post.
2) Open the archive in 7z or winrar
3) Navigate to system/app and put all the APKs you wan't to install into the zip (just drag them into the archive and let it add/update them. I'd have stuck them in the zip for you but I don't have any blur apks with me)
4) Reboot recovery and install the zip
or
1) You could manually go into the system folder and replace the apks using root explorer. Remember to set permissions to 644 for each file you replace if doing this.

Nexus 5 (xxhdpi) color notifications

Firstly, I must give credit to @willyjay for showing me how to modify the notification bar icons from black and white to color for Google applications.
NOTE: THESE MODS WORK ON ODEXED ROMS, DEODEXED ROMS NEED MODIFICATIONS TO THE /SYSTEM/APP FOLDER.
IF NOTIFICATIONS DON'T WORK AFTER INITIAL FLASH, MAKE SURE YOU ONLY HAVE 1 COPY OF THE APK IN YOUR /DATA/APP FOLDER
** Update December 7, 2014 **
ONLY FOR KK ROMS. EVERYTHING SHOWS UP WHITE IN LP.
You can download individual app color notifications using the hyperlinks at the bottom of this post or the all inclusive zip listed in the instructions.
Nexus Color matches the attached screenshots, Google Color matches the Moonshine Icons
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK, I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone. If you have issues after flashing, you can try to Uninstall Updates in Settings / Apps, or flash Gapps.
Feel free to post icon suggestions, but they should have a transparent background and be 256 x 256 max.
Instructions
1. Flash Color Notification Icons in recovery (single zip contains all apps listed below)
Nexus Colors (see attachements, Updated August 15th)
Moonshine (sample - Updated September 4th)
2. Wipe cache / dalvik cache (optional)
3. Reboot
4. Profit
Google + Nexus Color Google Color
Calendar Nexus Color Google Color
EMail Nexus Color Google Color
GMail Nexus Color Google Color
Hangouts (only 1 zip)
I'll add more apps and icons.
Screenshots below.
If you like my work, say thanks. I do this for fun, don't donate to me. If you are feeling generous, you can donate to the Alpine Learning Group.

You can do it!
Create a nandroid backup before attempting this.​
Here's how you can create your own notification icons
Download 7zip
Download Gimp
Download Notepad++ (we’ll need this for more advanced stuff later)
Create your new icon. You can use Gimp to make sure it is
transparent
1 layer
192 x 192 max
Pull the particular app from your phone (\data\app folder for odex ROM, \system\app for deodex, and copy the apk to your computer)
Backup the original apk, I have an N5 folder and a mod folder under that with the modified apk
Use 7zip to open the apk
navigate the to res\drawable-xxhdpi folder (Hangouts uses the drawable-xxhdpi-v11 folder)
If you would like to see all the icons within the folder, choose Extract from the 7zip menu
Overwrite the desired png with your modified png (must be transparent, 1 layer and 192X192 max) - the new png must have the same name as the old png
Back out of the apk
Create a copy of the Color_Notification.zip and rename it accordingly
Use 7zip to open the zip
Navigate to the \data\app or \system\app folder and paste the new apk inside
back out of the zip
Copy zip to your phone, flash in recovery, profit
The blank zip is attached.

just in case

Added screenshots to the OP. I'll add a how to as well, so anyone can customize their notifications.

Looks great, well done mate.

Great work bigknowz!!!!!!

Keeps failing for me when I try to run in recovery? I've tried a number of different ways, but still fails. I can't even drop the package into my files from my computer?
I'm on stock ROM, rooted, obviously. I re-installed the GAPPS package, but still no luck?

Do you get an error message in recovery? It might ask you if you want to flash untrusted zip, say yes. Anyone out there installed successfully? The zip has over 40 downloads and this is the first reported problem.
Also, any thoughts on this new Google+ icon?

Hmm...interesting? No, it fails when I try to run it in recovery and I had to download it directly on my phone, if I try to drop the file from my pc, it says "Cannot copy item the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" HOWEVER, it will still let me drop other packages, just not this one...I re-downloaded it thinking maybe my downloaded file was corrupt, but no luck...
I like the new icon! Good work

SO...I downloaded it directly on my phone, then copied the file from my download folder and put in a different folder and it works?!!? Must of been some sort of user error, sorry for misleading or ever doubting you

It will say the zip is untrusted because of the signature. Are you using flashify? Might not work with that. Redownload. If it fails again, let me know, I'll upload the file again.

Oops
Sorry @ilanderek and @superg81, fixed the OP.

This is very cool, whoever the main cons is that you have to setup manually every notification icon... I think this should be default in android, since this looks way much better than before...

Updated Google+
Updated the Google+ color notification. Expect a new calendar zip soon, Google is pushing out an update.
I changed the OP, link to new Google+ zip is there as well.

Updated Calendar
Finally received the Calendar update, you can grab the app in the OP. The icon is attached.
The full Color Notifications zip in the OP was updated today.

nice!

[Share] Fully Working AOSP, KK Gallery App for Lollipop

Hey, folks!!
Most of us moved to Lollipop and keep seeing many bugs and some of the Apps missing like for eg. Gallery.
Searches end me with Gallery Apps which weren't fully working. Desperated and frustrated me, finally did find one working app and thought of sharing it with others who would really be interested.
You can flash the App via Custom Recovery or can do it manually by moving the desired folder using a file manager, like Total Commander (this is what am using). Many are available based on your interest. Remember to extract the zip and move the folders to another location and then place in the respective places.
Editing Images is possible with this App if you correctly place the lib file at /system/lib
I myself have tried only the KK Gallery on N4 & N5 which is working flawlessly
http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-back-gallery-app-any-nexus-device-running-lollipop-0158858/
PS: If this is outta XDA Rules then Mods can remove the thread.
Folks, am just sharing so everyone can make use of what is required.

I want to use the motorola gallery. It looks nice. But what lib file should I place in /system/lib? It isn't in the flashable zip...

Motorola Gallery may not have the lib file. Haven't checked it but did the KK Gallery. Editing is supported only in KK Gallery according to the post

So I tried the flashablr zip, but after installinh nothing changed? No gallery app popped up. I looked in the /system/app/ folder and I found the .apk l. Do you know how I can fix this?

Which one did you try? Have checked KK Gallery on N4 & N5 and its working without any flaws. On N4, used the Flashable zip and on N5, i installed manually (both running Lollipo 5.0.1)

I thought that you installed the app from the link have provided. Try that and let me know. Just to clarify, are you rooted?

Yes I am on stock 5.0.1. Rooted it and installed TWRP. Tried that zip and several others but none of them worked. Also created a flashable zip myself. But that didnt work either...
By flashing it, the app comes in the /system/app folder but doen't appaer in the app drawer and trying to copy it manually ends up in an error (see attachments).
I guess I will be re-flashing factory images and see if it works after that.

[APK request] latest OnePlus 5 OxygenOS 9.0.9 screenshot app (com.oneplus.screenshot)

Hi XDA family.
Happy Holidays to all of you.
After unexpectedly resurrecting my OP5 from the dead this week, I made it slight mistake afterwards.
When going through the files in my download folder, I found an old com.oneplus.screenshot apk and felt the need to install it.
Unfortunately, that was an older version (the most recent version will show a small thumbnail in the top right, my older shows it in the bottom right corner) and I'd like to revert back to the more recent version.
I have tried apkmirror already but they don't seem to have the latest version.
tl;dr
I have installed an older version of com.oneplus.screenshot and need the latest apk to update.
Your help is much appreciated
sith

I didn't find any com.oneplus.screenshot in system/app and system/priv-app

You are right, in the folders mentioned, I also could not find the apk.
But in /data/app I do see it, please check my attached screenshot.
The base.apk should be all I need.
If you could grab and upload it, I'd wanna give it a try.
Thanks in advance

Sorry, but the apk from apkmirror seemed to be an older version. That's why I mentioned apkmirror in my initial posting.

github.com/jamflux/SUR
unpack official rom and get it yourself

hello!..
I used skit app to extract the apk from my phone, I'm on latest ota 9.0.9.. screenshot app version is 1.1.0
I hope it helps u..

The app exists as /system/app/OPLongshot/OPLongshot.apk on OxygenOS 9.0.9.
Simply deleting the newly installed apk's folder from /data/app/ is sufficient in most cases to "restore" the app version when a system app has been "updated" with a non-system "update" such as tapping an apk file while in a file manager.
It should also be stated that this particular application uses a dedicated library folder containing the following two symlinks:
Code:
ln -s /system/lib64/libencryptjni.so /system/app/OPLongshot/lib/arm64/libencryptjni.so
Code:
ln -s /system/lib64/op_encrypt.so /system/app/OPLongshot/lib/arm64/op_encrypt.so
in case a system app installation for this apk needs to be restored.
