Help! My Locations app has disappeared!

Hi guys,
I just recently bought a HTC Desire HD and have been enjoying it very much.... I have rooted and S-off, but have yet to install recovery clockwork ....
That aside, yesterday I started moving some stock app files to a folder on the sd card (so I can remove it from my phone, plus back it up just in case) with root explorer (r/w mounted), I didn't move the HtcLocationService.apk. All went ok...
But just this morning I noticed my locations icon on my phone's interface has turned into the green android image...meaning the program is gone! It cannot be found in my programs at all.
I have tried to do the "reinstall locations" in the settings, but it says "unable to find an activity to handle this action", and I've tried to go straight to the HtcLocationService.apk to install it (not even sure if it is the right application) and it says "application not installed".
I am really stumped, and would like Locations back on my DHD!!
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance

What stock apps did you uninstall? Some apps are bound to eachother. Locations is probably bound to navigation or footprints or maybe another app. So if you uninstalled that, that could be the cause.
If it's really gone, then probably the only way to reinstall it is installing the stock ROM again (or a custom one). You probably can't install it again because locations needs some other stock app (if my hypothesis are right).

I took out stuff like friendstream, Plurk, Twitter, FieldTest, Flickr, HTC_IME, EasyCard, Laputa, KKBOX, plus phone provider apps (since I'm with TaiwanMobile, myfone) so TWM_City/Market/Movie/Music etc....
I've since moved the files back into system>apps, but it hasn't changed anything....is there any possibility I could get Locations back???

I can't think of an idea to reinstall Locations that easy. You can just install the official ROM again. You don't even have to be rooted then.
Have a look at this thread. If you deleted .apk files of the 2 lowest lists, then you could try to reinstall them first. Otherwise I don't know. maybe someone else.
I would have reinstalled the official ROM again. Just to make sure everything works correctly again. (and then start over removing apps :') ).
But maybe someone else knows a better solution

Thanks for you quick reply!
Can you point me to a thread that would explain the process of installing an official rom (where i would download the rom, etc)? Plus is there a way I can back up all my games, apps and settings, so I don't have to reinstall every app and game again?
would a Factory reset help? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm hoping I get this resolved

First of all: I found this thead for installing system .apk's. Maybe that can help. But it seems pretty comlicated .

A factory reset should restore everything, (ofcourse I was tthinking to complicated :') ).
All apps you installed from the market will be reinstalled if you login with you google account again. It can take a while. It also remembers wich apps you bought. It won't however save any data (like saves for games).
For other apps (and all apps if you want to backup the data), you could download titanium backup (also available in the market). Keep in mind though that for restoring any backups made with this app, you need root acces again.
The facotry reset will remove your personal data. Only your sdcard and simcard will keep their info.
I hope all is clear what I told . So no ROM download needed. :')
Let us know if it has worked

Hey again,
I just factory reset my phone, using settings. Locations has not been restored , also some gadgets was not working (may be the widgets I have removed before). The front page weather animation is gone! Only the time left...(how would I get that back?)
Any other suggestions will be appreciated!

go to locations in settings... u will find a tab "reinstall locaton" make sure u r on wifi...and it will install it back...it happnd with me and got it back instantly

Read this post and download his Dialer.apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44115073&postcount=38
Then you must re-enable root. Go to Settings > Developer Options > Root access. Change to Disabled. Reboot. Go back and re-enable root.
Now, use Root Explorer to copy the dialer.apk to /system/app. Change permission to Owner=Read/Write, Group=Read, Others=Read
Reinstall dialer.apk from the /system/app directory. Dialer/Phone should be ok now.

mmm this seems be hard
i prefer wait quarx fix this problem.
If someone have something more easily to solve the problem then put here please.
Thanks.

This will actually take about 5 mins to do. Don't need to be a dev to do this.

Yes but i think i will make a error doing this but i will try.
Edit: i made all correct like you said and when i click to call he saids the dialer stop working..
Thanks.

Another problem with 4.3
A fix has already been released.
I have another problem, though.
· If the right menu is slid down and the button with the 3g/2g network is pressed (the one that comes default with the name of the company), all the radios are shut off, and it's impossible to shut them on again. Not even rebooting. Had to reinstall CM10.2. I'm using the ROM without that button, just in case. This bug has been reported in the developer forum but I think it hasn't been given attention.
· And... I like using "My data manager"... a very famous data usage app. It just doesn't work, no data is gathered. However, Jelly Bean default data usage menu works, but I don't like that! Is this a known issue? Is there a fix??
Maybe I should have opened a new thread for this... I'm a noob
Thanks!

Transfering Samsung Apps from non-rooted phone to a rooted phone with Cleanrom.

I have 2 Galaxy S4 phones, one is the Active and one is standard S4. I use the Active on another line and switch sims when I want to use it on my main line, usually when I go boating or outdoors.
The standard S4 is rooted and has Cleanrom on it. The S4 Active is stock with the stock apps but is also rooted with the stock Rom. There are 2 Apps that I want to add to my standard S4 and I have tried to move them over but they seem to fail to install.
The 2 apps im trying to move are Optical Read and S Memo which are Samsung only apps meaning they come stock on the phone and you cannot download them from the play store. I used an app called APK Share and backup which seemed to do a good job of backing up both apps. I then transferred them over from one phone to the next and tried to install them. Both apps seem to be a complete APK file and when I go to install them they go all the way through the installation process and right at the end all it says is "App not installed"
I also tried using Titanium backup which failed as well. It gets all the way to installing the app on the phone and then freezes and does nothing. I thought for sure Titanium backup would work but no go.
S memo is the one I really want to have installed since I use a Note 8.0 to take all my business notes on which I would like to view on my Rooted Galaxy S4.
Anyone have any idea why these apps wont install or any other ideas I might try to move these apps over. It seems like it should be a pretty simple process since they are both Galaxy S4s but I guess not.

Did you try and fix permissions on the s4 in your recovery after you copied the apps. I'm assuming you took the apk from the active and copied into /system/app on the s4.

That I did not do. I will have to learn how to do that. I will try and search for it on google. Thanks for the suggestion.

Broke settings.

So i installed the samsung s5 lockscreen, or at least attempted to, I never realized you needed to flash in recovery. First I backed my files up. Then with the zip all I did was copy the files down to system in EZ Explorer, when I found out that my settings.apk went missing and the home button didnt work(or the lockscreen) I tried to restore my files, I restart my phone but no change still no settings and home button doesnt interact at all. (Stock S4 with Root)
(Also I cannot install apps anymore) Any help greatly appreciated!

I think you can solve this by Android development bridge (adb). In a few words, this is a way you can modify your internal memory from your ?. So, you have to push all backup.
If you don't know how to use it, in this page there are a lot of helpful post.

Sorry the app creates a backup, or do I need to have a previously installed backup?

Messed up even further!
Guys I tried to factory reset hoping to fix the problem, but as the config window opens up, I'm flooded with errors. My question is should I just install a ROM and hope that fixes it, or just go to my provider and go by the warranty?(Root I used is towelroot, so it should be gone after FR, so the warranty should still be good.)

Found a fix!
I did what it says here, works perfect except for wifi(Other then that its great)

[Q] removing S Finder & Quick Connect from Notification Panel

A few days ago i went from two years of CM back to stock (to try MM-Stock). I really like it, but there is this one annoying thing, i remember from KK. The S Finder and Quick Connect shortcuts directly in the Notification Panel. Back at KK i used the Xposed module Xposed G-Touchwiz. But as i tried, this doesn't work anymore/yet. I also ran the Barebone Cleaner, which sucessfully deleted both programs, but the shortcut stays.
Has anyone an idea/a solution to delete these?
If that's important, i run the ported SM-G900M 6.0.1 Firmware with Phoenix Kernel.
Cheers

Delete or rename (I usually rename)
"/system/etc/permissions/com.sec.feature.findo.xml"

Thanx for the answer, but it didn't work for me. I renamed the file, rebooted twice, but it's still there.
