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
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

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.

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.

[Solved] Convert .snb to .spd ?

Hi,
did someone managed to import old .snb files (from GN2) in the new S-notes (who seems to read .spd files) ?
I sync with Samsung account but nothing shows up in the new s-notes app.
So i tried to rename my old .snb in .spd but had no luck with that...
Is there a solution or am I missing something ?

Try to export.snb to pdf files with old S-note so you can read them on new device.

You can manually copy to the device and open them from that location

Thanks for the pdf method, that is what I did for a backup but it's not the same as having an editable note...

Probably due to the different resolution of the 2 apps...
Well it's not working for me, I can't manage to open .snb files in the new s-notes app..

I had no difficulty . How I did it is --> copy note 2 snote files into the note 3 storage folder called snote data. Now open your snote and you will find all the files. Just click on them and the files will get auto converted to jote 3 format.
Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk 4

Well, I understood and that is what I did first, even before posting here. But it's not working for me... nothing happen in new snotes.
snb files don't show and when i try to open them and select snotes app, nothing happen..
Edit :
Intrigued by the fact it worked for you, I deleted the Snotedata folder, launched snotes app and create a note. Then I copied the old .snb in the new snotesdata folder and tadaaa \o/ Notes show up like you said. Previous content is not really "editable" but that will do.
Thanks to all

No even previous content is editable. You need to long tap on the content you want to edit. I love it that s note had this feature like the onenote on w8.

Same problem here, only that my Note II is the international N7100.
When I'm trying to convert an old S Note file with the new S Note application it simply crashes. So I wouldn't say that the problem is solved!

there is a S Note PC app....
File -> Import to get that .snb in
File -> Save to save a .spd
File -> Export for those pesky .jpg or .pdf exports
got mine from: arg! stupid XDA devs. I forgot my old account and now it will not let my new super spiffy account post the link. Lets image a world where there was this thing called "google" and when you typed something into this thing it found stuff for you, and if you typed in "s note for pc" maybe just possibly you might find a link to wwwDOTsamsungDOTcomFORWARDSLASHukFORWARDSLASHappsFORWARDSLASHmobileFORWARDSLASHsnoteFORWARDSLASH.

SEC Email FC's after removing bloat

Can anyone please upload My Magazine 1.0.0" & "My Magazine - Here and now 1.1.0" apk files? with the help of some others here I have narrowed my problems with the stock email app force closing upon clearing a notification or attempting to open the app, down to being caused by my having removed these apps thinking they were just bloat. However, it seems they are being called by the email app and are the source of my problem. Thanks to whomever comes to the rescue!

looking at mine i see Magazines.apk, MagazinesHome.apk but not what you listed.
i was looking in system/app

I think that's them, since I deleted them I don't have anything to reference so I could have the name off a bit. If you don't mind please upload?
Thanks

Hi Folks:
Grateful return to Android OS....I like to tinker and had a tablet I learn some skills on. Got rid of APPLE GARBAGE never again.
Re-learning Android skills.
So, I like some others removed MyMagazine and that POS Flipboard among **many** items...
All is very well on my sleek and clean Note 3...love it!
BUT I have the same email notification crash as everyone here
2 questions:
1) How do I load these files again? I forgot!! (embarassing!!). Odin?
2) If I load the 2 securemail and 2 exchange files, do I have to re-load the MYMagazine file again as well? I would really prefer NOT TO if I don't have to. I really detest and resent manufacturers putting their junk onto phones in the first place...
Hell, I remove most Google Garbage as well...and Verizon's stuff too.
Never had a problem until now.
Thanks for your time and assistance!

Firstly, sorry for not being able to link yet. Which is why copy paste:
"Installing apps on Android is relatively straightforward with the Android Market. You search for an app, select it and click install. However, there are often times when you may want to install a newly released app or an app that is not available in the Android Market. In these cases you will usually have to manually download and install an .apk file. An .apk file behaves in a similar manner to a “.exe” file on Windows, you need to copy it to your device and run it. Here are some ways that you can manually install an application without going through the market."
(-source: maketecheasier.com/install-applications-without-the-market/)
"WHAT IS AN ODEX FILE?
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution."

Sorry can't buy PRO version of TB.

Try other Launchers or install "Uninstaller or Debloater" apps. Make sure to back up the deleted app in case of something.

search for "pull up from fake jap" - this was included in my ROM X-Note and works perfectly, you might find a standalone version
do not freeze/uninstall mymag, otherwise the stock sms and e-mail apps will force close from time to time

I download this awhile ago and I recently flashed it using mobile odin on latest tw rom nf4 and it still works.
It removes the swipe up action.

Oh I wish I've read more before deleting MyMagazine... after rooting with CF & Odin 3.09.
I was unable to restore it using SuperSU, so I tried to copy MagazineHome.apk & .odex to /system/app , but it didn't help. I tried to launch the MagazineHome.apk and install it, but it couldn't install. (i found those filez under the Verizon Note 3 threads... maybe this caused it ? )
or even worse... is Knox causing this?
I'd love to get my Stock email working again without crashing everytime when new mail is coming.
Help anyone?

You need to give permission to magazine.apk and reboot

I think the update is for the sm-g950U only :crying:

VPN is irrelevant IMHO. Afaik Samsung goes by your Samsung account. My Samsung account is registered to Germany and can't be changed. I don't think geographic location is relevant for the update.
Some people in beta had success with creating a new Samsung account with VPN, changing the location of the new account to US. But nothing you could change in an existing account...

Only the US released phone's are now using Bixby.. has something to do with the csc as well. I hope that we have the option later on to use it in the English language
