Hi, I'm currently using C-Rom v7.1, and I accidentally flashed the gapps "google stock package" which replaced the roms camera with google camera. The point is that I already tried a lot of things to get rid of it and get the roms camera back, but I was unsuccessful.
I would like to know if anyone could help me.
Thanks!
Try get someone to upload the apk for the ROMs camera and what permissions you need to set. As for removing the Google Camera, you can use Titanium Backup, or use Root Explorer and check under data/app and system/app, if you find it, mount your phone as read/write and delete it, then move ROMs camera to system/app and reboot, that's the way I'd go about it.
I followed your suggestion, but instead of just deleting the app, I used Root Explorer to search in \system and \data for everything that could be related to "camera" and "gallery" and then deleted them, after that I reflashed the ROM and wiped out \cache and \dalvik cache and it worked! Now I've the camera ROMs back!
Thanks for the help!

I rooted my vibrant ans was deleting some bloatware I don't use and I accidentally removed the camera. I tried using astro and root explorer to reinstall it and I get 'application not installed'. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Ok, made a slight error on my end. I was having gallery issues and clearing the cache did nothing. I moved some files via Root Explorer instead of thru the gallery so the thumbnails are messed or whatever. Tried clearing the cache no dice. Tried to force it to rescan files, no dice. Said, ok i have solved this before by removing the gallery, and re installing it. So i copied the MediaGallery.apk file to my SD card and used Titanium Backup to uninstall the gallery.
Now i can't re install it. It keeps failing the reinstall. I have tried doing it from the SD card with Root Explorer, i have tried copying it to the /system/app/ folder and still no dice. Still fails install. Have it set to RW, nothing.
How do i go about re installing this app and the odex for it? I was stupid and didn't copy the odex. Yes i know, stupid. I have re-installed it before. I don't think i did anything different. I even changed all it's permissions to everything can be done(checked everything off), just in case it was that. Still nothing
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Yes i know i did somehting very dumb, feel free to remind me, but only if you can offer some sound advice first.
Why don't you just try the 3d gallery?
my only issue there is what happens when an OS or software update comes up? I would brick my phone because i lost a critical file that is needed for the update. Not a good thing.
I think i might just use Titanium backup to backup all my apps and such, make sure all my normal app settings are backed up too, then just do a factory reset. I read elsewhere that the reset would put the gallery back, in some other thread, i just am worried about how long it would take to put everything back the way it was. I will keep dicking around today trying to get it to install and if i can't figure it out by the time i wake up tonight (work third shift) then i will just wipe and reload.
Flash this, kind sir.

One...You are awesome. Thank you very much.
two...how do i "flash" it? Just install the APK or do i need to move the META-INF files too? Or do i just execute the zip file in something like Root Explorer?
Sorry, never done OS flashes either.

You have to use the "Install zip from SD card" option in ClockworkMod Recovery.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
In case that wasn't clear enough...
You can either download "Droid X Bootstrap" from the market (It's like $2, I think)
Or you can download "Rom Manager" (the free version works).
If you downloaded Droid X Bootstrap...
Open it up and click "Bootstrap Recovery"
When an "ok" dialog pops up...click "Reboot Recovery."
You'll now be in Clockwork.
_____________________
If you download "Rom Manager" there will be an option to install bootstrap.
Simply do that...
Power your phone off...
And hold the VolumeDown+Power buttons until you boot into clockwork.
______________________
From clockwork:
Choose install zip.
Choose zip from sdcard.
Find the .zip
Click yes.
Click Reboot.
Awesome, thank you all very much. I already had the bootstrapper program and ROM manager, i wanted to get into flashing ROMs but never got around to it. LOL
Just flashed it and it doesn't show in the app drawer, but i can find it in /system/apps/ with the proper app permissions. But still no dice on the app drawer. I Rebooted twice more and reinstalled it each time, with no success. It has no Odex file with it in the /system/app/ directory. Should it?
Thank you all again very much for your help

Thank you SOOOO Much.
Got the gallery to show up, occasionally. LOL Every other reset it dissappears, but if i reboot again, it reappears. Neither the original or 3d work, still won't see any files on the SD Card. Whatever, i got it to show, can worry about using stock gallery later. Everything else can read it fine. Still need to figure out how to get it to stick permanently so i don't lose every other reboot. Never had this happen. I can even check titanium backup and it wont be listed in the apps installed on times it isn't in the app drawer. But the times it is in the app drawer i can find it in active apps in titanium backup...
so i accidentally deleted my stock phone and/or contacts app.
does anyone have an .apk or knows where i can dl it?
or any other solution for the problem.
thanks.
If you used Root Explorer, you have trouble. Probably the best solution is to re-flash stock ROM with SEUS. You might also try using .sin files decryption from flashtool files, but it's a little difficult.
i used the wrong expression, i didn't delete them, i just uninstalled them. according to what you thought, i guess the .apks still exist on my phone. but i don't know where. :/
or don't they?
Check in system/app using Root Explorer. If you won't find them, they're probably deleted and hard to restore.
What ROM do you use? If it's cooked ROM, you can get the .apk simply by unziping the ROM archive, you've downloaded in system/app.
I have found the .apks.
I have installed them but nothing. I tried deleting the data and reinstalling but nothing. I believe they would show up in menu if i deleted them completely and installed them again. But in the app manager i can only stop the process and wipe the data, i can't uninstall..
I have uninstalled them with another app, fast uninstaller for root.
Flash the ROM´s update.zip again.
or restore a backup of the same ROM with advanced restore, so that you only restore /system.
wow, that's clever. i flashed the whole ROM, never thought of only restoring the /system. :/
but it's solved.
Hi,
I have deleted calendar application (accidentally) from my phone. Titanium backup also not showing the backed up calendar so i can't restore it.
I tried installing the calendar.apk (extracted from the rom package) it forced stop with error.
I want my calendar back. Is there any way. I am using cm 7.1 rom 2.3.4.
Please Help
Thanks
can you explain how u delete that?because it is very necessary to solve ur problem.
I believe that if you flash a relevant gApps .zip file you should be able to get it?

Did you try pushing the Calender.apk and CalenderProvider.apk to /system/app/ using adb or root explorer. Then changing the file permissions to rw-r-r. Maybe it works. (If it force closes again, clear the application data from /settings/applications/manage applications/all/ and restart. )

Hi. I accidentally deleted my stock gallery app so I re-downloaded it (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449815) to try to install it again. Apparently I can't just re-install it because it's a system app so it keeps telling me that it's not installed. I tried a file manager to move the apk file into the system/app folder and changed the permission to rw--r--r--. I restart after that and now I can find the gallery app installed on my phone, but it crashes right away every time I try to open it ("Gallery has stopped working"). It also doesn't work whenever I go into camera and tap on the photo browser box because it also says gallery stopped working.
I'm on Kitkat right now with root access and I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please help!

First, are you on NC2 leak or NC4 OTA? I'm not sure if it matters with a gallery apk but you never know.
If you're on NC2 leak go to Beans thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52088473&postcount=1
If you're on NC4 go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53508270&postcount=1
1) Next, I'd download the rom for whatever you're on NC2 or NC4.
2) Extract rom zip with 7zip or Winrar or whatever your zip extraction program is.
3) Look for the secgallery.apk and pull the apk from the folder and transfer to your phone on your sd card.
4) Once on your sd card use your file explorer with root access. I prefer Root Explorer, if you don't have it it's worth buying to me.
5) Push the secgallery apk to system/priv-app and set permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot and see if that helps.
6) If you still have problems try going to settings>application manager>all>then look for gallery and clear cache and see if that works
I don't know if you should use the apk you got from that link you posted as I don't know if it's been altered or not. It might be as easy as you putting that secgallery apk you have already in system/priv-app instead of system/app but let's be on the safe side. That's why I said download Beans stock rooted roms.
Hopefully this works for you.
EDIT: After going through both roms I have on my pc it appears the gallery is the same so I pulled it and uploaded here for you : http://d-h.st/9TK Let me know once you have it so I can take it down.

Oh my goodness, you're a life safer! It finally worked after spending many hours trying to figure out what was wrong. I guess it's because I use the wrong apk and also because I put it in the wrong folder in the system root. After I downloaded the apk you provided, I moved the file to system/priv-app and changed the permission. After rebooting, gallery is now working perfectly fine again instead of crashing.
Thank you so much for your help! I really couldn't have figured this out on my own without your information!
