Dont do this when decrapfying your toy!

hi guys! Im new on the forum
Ok, i rooted my galaxy tab 8.9. Then i tried decrapfying my tab, including some system apps: talkback, talk, email, exchange services and ap and stock widgets.
Everything seemed has gone smooth, except now, the Social hub cashes!! seems like it tries to access email database. Can you guys help me and send me the email.apk and email.odex files please? I think the files from both 10.1 or 8.9 work as well.
I also hope that noone after me will delete email.apk as well Cheers!

lol you deleted email.apk? nice
Are you rooted? Did you make a nandroid backup?

NEVER delete any system apps, just freeze them with Titanium Backup, a much faster and easier to recover option.

Are you not able to re-flash it?

It's all down to individual needs - I always delete the Samsung Apps app, never bother backing it up because I will never want or need to use it.

As far as i know, there is no ROM or firmware for galaxy 8.9 available yet, so i cant reflash now.
I also received from a friendly forums member the email.apk file, but i couldnt install the app (in the files manager i clicked on the apk and selected install but it ended with a "installation failed" message).
Is there any experienced member who can help me?

Just use root explorer to move it into your system/app folder

no, i have tried it, it doesnt help, since it's not installation.

Do a full wipe and start over I guess...and dont forget to do a nandroid backup this time

but how can i do a full wipe since theres no ROM available for 8.9 yet? Or im i missing something?

Best I can do is a copy of the email.apk off my 10.1, good luck with your Tab.

Well, when i touch it in the file explorer and selected install it says installation failed but anyways, thank you for your kindness

Try using root explorer astro to put it in system/app.

yeah put it into system app then try to install it.
If not, you can try opening stock recovery and wiping through that.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! IT WORKS! with all your help, literally. I used a version from 10.1 (a version from 8.9 didnt work) put it to system/app and then in root explorer selected install... Although it threw a message about installation failed, the installation actually worked! Lol interesting! Thank you guys very much. I think im gonna stay at these forums for a long time

This is exactly why I got a 10.1 instead of 8.9.... I was afraid I'd botch something before help was readily available. Great to see things went well anyway thanks to the folks here.

[Request] Stock Samsung Apps Dump

So at first i thought all this bloat was just bs. But after some things i've checked out some apps i kinda wish i still had some of the Samsung apps. Unfortunately I'm a fool and instead of freezing i just deleted from Tibu.
Any help?

Did I post in the wrong section?

In the development section there is a post that says "factory stock" using Odin. You could either reset to factory using this method or download the zip file and extract the app you need.

You can te download all the apps from samsung hub too. Deleting chat on will break svoice. Only way to get it back is to Odin or Kies

Man come on don't be lazy.... Just log into samsung hub and download... its like 5 seconds....

That would be easy if I didn't debloat my phone and get rid of hub. I never asked to be called lazy i just searched the forum like everyone should. Didn't see **** because i obviously didn't know what de-odexed meant so i thought i would start a new thread. Sorry that it comes off lazy i thought in general i could ask this dumb question instead of taking up a developer post.

I noticed the previously posted de-odexed dump was not complete. Its missing several items. Below are links to my attempt at de-odexing the system apps and framework. It is a complete dump.
Deodexed framework (MD5 543acaded314224318cd90775654b57c)
Deodexed apps (MD5 58de9c029f1f62ba06dcc634020eeca9)
I have actually pushed this to my device and verified its working. I did this by "stop"ing the Android runtime, using the internal "SD" with adb push and some for loops then an adb reboot. I will not provide more detailed instructions.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TRY UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
I hope other ROM developers can use this as a base once we have a safe way to restore soft bricks.

-_- then extract the apps and use a file explorer to push them to /system, adb isnt the only way...but I really think for you the easiest way is to return to stock...theres a thread in the dev section...just requires a couple clicks of the mouse

you mean it's too hard to do "adb push [location of file (newb tip: you can even drag the file into the terminal/cmd window and it'll automatically place the file location!!)] /system"

I'm definitely new in the game but just wanted to clarify this statement. I disabled a bunch of the bloatware apps prior to rooting my S4 today. The only app I deleted using Rom Toolbox Lite was ChatOn before deciding it wasn't a good idea to remove anything instead of just leaving all the bloatware disabled.
I went back and re-installed ChatOn and ChatOn Voice & Video Chat through Google Play / Market and S Voice seems to be working just fine. I saw another thread that said uninstalling/deleting ChatOn would affect S Voice but I'm not seeing this effect. Was re-installing ChatOn through Google Play store vs Odin or Kies a waste of time?
Still learning here, any feedback is appreciated.
Edit: I ended up just doing recovery through Kies to ensure the stock apps were restored appropriately and made sure not to disable ChatOn this time. Just curious why S-Voice worked for me after having rooted and deleted ChatOn but others had issues with this.

"It won't install"?
You have to push the SecLauncher3.apk to /system/priv-app, e.g.with root explorer.

People that don't know what they are doing should not mess with there's phones, then open countless threads on here asking for others to put right their mistakes.

If you install S5 launcher by apk you can uninstall simply by settings.If you replace file in System folder put the original touchwiz in it.

Yeah..download any,if you want to change them, from the play store..
In the root browser..go to data/app
Move the downloaded apps and paste them into system/priv-app and give permissions 644 (rw-r--r--)
Reboot phone and you're done

If you have a I9505 model with Stock Android 4.4.2, I could backup these from my phone and upload it here.
But please be sure if you have the model and the version described above.

Look for the firmware's system dump on the internet and push what apps you want into the System/App, and don't forget to set the right permissions before you reboot.

Can some one uplode it in backup please

S7 Edge bloatware remove

Hi guys
I have a question: in galaxy S4 there was a possibility to remove some unused apps from system with System app remover (apk).
I wonder if any of the developers could make for rooted S7 Edge a list of safely removable apps from system (like if I don`t use for example Galaxy Care, is it safe to uninstall it?) I think this will make our device even faster and more battery friendly.
Thank you!

Install package disabler pro from the play store. Bloatware will be highlighted in pink. This does not exactly highlight everything that can be removed, but it's a start.
P.S. Wrong forum.
