So it seems that those of us unfortunate enough to of removed any system apps from the original ROM will not be able to update. Can anyone upload the non-licensed apps here so everyone can easily revert to stock so we can update?
I can see that there are requests popping up and it would be a good idea to have a central thread with all stock apps available. With 3.1 update on the horizon and the absence of recovery solutions, it would be handy for everyone to have easy access to all of these APKs.
PLEASE DO NOT POST LINKS TO ANY FULL GAMES!!!!
These are the APKs and ODEXs that are required:
system/app
AcerRegistration.apk
Aupeo.apk
Email.apk
Email.odex
GameLoftStore.apk
HeroOfSparta.apk
HTMLViewer.apk
HTMLViewer.odex
LatinImeTutorial.apk
LetsGolf.apk

LinkToFacebook.apk

LumiRead.apk

Thanks Sammy, however this is only a few of the packages.
The above includes: Aupeo.apk
LinkToAdobeFlash.apk
LinkToAdobeFlash.odex
LinkToFacebook.apk
LinkToFacebook.odex
Anyone have any more to list here?
We need a complete list of all the apks and odex files from a untampered source. I can't remember all I changed.
I have edited the original post to include list of APKS - see above
As long as I know, the .apk's are different for different kernel version.
You can try search /system dumps (system.img) in this forum, and extract those .apk's using ext2explore. I did fix my Email.apk using this way.

i found that you can download these apps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086887
Hi, my Iconia offered me an update. Ofcourse because of the missing apps
it was unsucessfull of instaling it. So I downloaded this package from the following link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8KHWBF7E
link that I found on this forum and copyed the missing apps from it
in the system/app, with root explorer. Beware to mount the system/app
folder as Mount R/W in root explorer to allow write in it.
Then the update went fine.
Thanks to this forum for helping me and all the other members.
can't seem to update the email or any other apk with a matching odex. What am I doing wrong?
Here;s a complete folder untouched from a system dump. It has the apk and odex files. hope this helps anyone.
>>> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7654149/app.zip <<<
Thanks a lot for this file. I copied all files in app folder with root explorer and now it says that my tablet is up to date without me upgrading. I guess you zipped the files after the upgrade?
No, that's was from the system dump over at SDX, I think dc13 posted it >>> http://forum.sdx-developers.com/acer-a500-development/system-dump-14235/ . But you are still welcome anything to help out a fellow member
did the same and it worked

Reset back to stock and still cant update.
Ive only had my a500 for a week. I have not removed/deleted/renamed any of the stock apps. I installed gingerbreak (to root) and thats about it. oh i changed the resolution with LCD density changer. I cant update.
So i reset back to stock and still no luck. Any ideas?
I used Root explorer to copy the original factory APKs to the system/app folder. In the middle of copying, Root explorer force closed and the tablet restarted ittself. Now it is stuck in a loop on the ANDROID boot screen
How do I fix that?
Thanks to everyone who helped to provide files for the update. I'm finally updated!

I don't have all the files shown in the post above but my iconia took the update fine. I lost root after but was able to get root again.

Hi All,
I have a rooted european TPT and I did something really dumb today: I nuked DownloadProvider.apk, thus killing any download functionality.
I downloaded the OTA update roms and had a look in there but they only have patches for the APK and not the file itself. I have been unable to find a full ROM image to use either, one linked from here was on Megaupload so that's gone.
May I beg someone to send me this APK please or point me to where I can find an image of the original ROM? Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I have the same problem. Deleted the downloadprovider and I guess also the downloadprovider.UI.
I'm on 2.3.4 root. Build nr: 4.0.2.A.0.42.
What to do with the other file in the zip apart from the .apk and how to set the permissions when moving the .apk to the system/app folder?

The other file is the odex just copy it in /system/app like the apk. The files need the permission 644. You can set them i.e. with Terminal Emualtor or with adb:
Code:
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 644 /system/app/DownloadProvider.*
Unfortunately I did the same mistake like baz8080 .
Can you please help me with DownloadProvider for A310_02_0039_0089_WE?
I still have the apk and restored it to /system/app but the odex is missing and I'm still not able to download anything
Thanks in advance

Things To Do
You must have root access to your phone
1. copy and paste "Download Provider ui" folder to /system/apps of your root folder.
2. copy and paste "Download Provider" folder to /system/priv-app of your root folder.
3. give permission like other apps in the folder and install both apk inside each folder with your root explorer with root installer package i used "fx file explorer pro".
4. Done restart your mobile.
5. you need to have google play store updated and google play services updated to latest version
To mods. I have posted the same message in "Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games > [GUIDE] How to edit build.prop on any Android device!". Please handle it as you wish. Sorry for the double post.
Hi all!
I have a Nexus 4 running on PAC (Android 4.2.2).
I have edited the build.prop file (so that it shows as a Note2, and it worked just fine), but before that I had taken a copy of the original one in one file (lets call it copyNexus...but the name is still build.prop), and a copy of the edited file (lets call it copyNote...still same name).
I used the edited file for some time, but now I wanted it reverted back to the original settings.
Once I set copyNexus in /system/ and overwrote the edited file, I rebooted my phone and after the Google logo it just goes blank.
I booted through TWRP recovery to set it back to copyNote through the file manager, but still the problem is the same.
Any suggestions?
Would an installation of PAC fix it?
It is crucial that I do not format everything as I 1st need a backup (I know. Bad thing that I thought this AFTER the catastrophe...)
Thanks!
Extract the original copy from the .zip file and save it on the root of your sd card. Then download aroma file manager and delete the build.prop and copy over the one you've just extracted. If that doesn't work, take a nandroid and flash the original rom and gapps without wiping cache or dalvik or anything else. If that doesn't work, you'll have to start again from scratch

Hi guys, I'm giving up on CyanogenMod. It is slimmer but it has more problems on Galaxy Note 10.1. If you have answer concerning the SDCard problem, please reply to my topic there.
Anyway, still I want to trim all those bloatwares from my device, so I did couple of researches, combining articles and tutorials on trimming roms on other devices (Note 1, 2, 3 and some other devices like sony)
The result? So far it's pretty stable and functional. Phone, bluetooth, wifi, sms, video call, stylus pressure sensitivity etc, all working just fine.
I also had several games, emulators and some graphic apps installed and running without any problem. No crashes so far.
I'll report more if there's anything came up. But I'm pretty happy with it now.
Might work on other tab/note variants too. So here it is :
1. Root your stock, using any method you want (I'm using Odin + ClockworkMod + CF-Auto-Root)
2. Use root file explorer of your choice and delete everything (or you can add .old extension if you had doubts, or maybe everyone's favorite, using freeze in Titanium Backup) in system/app EXCEPT THESE :

Also, for SGS 3 from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/applications-safe-to-remove-t1634624/page28
If you find any similar spreadsheet for other devices (Sony, HTC, or Motorola and probably even chinese handsets), or minimalist custom ROMs, please let me know, so I can do further comparison, and fetching more infos on the apks. Might just as well create a universal list for it. If I get my hands on new handsets, I'll probably do this too.
Note, from my list above, I deleted SamsungIME.apk (the default keyboard) so if you're doing factory reset you won't be able to type anything. I have myself a hardware keyboard to do the intial setups and such. But after that I used SwiftKey for my daily needs.
If you don't have any hardware keyboard at your disposal, leave it. You can delete it after you installed 3rd party keyboard.
I removed camera (SamsungCamera.apk) as well since I didn't use it much on my tablet. You can leave it if you want to, or use third party apps for it.
For the browser, I installed Chrome afterwards, since it have much more features compared to the stock/built in browser.
As for the multimedia player I use MXPlayerPro, fetched from Google Play as well
With this setup, from 345 apks/odexes I'm left with only about 78 apks/odexes. And it feels blazing fast.
that's 267 bloatwares/junks within your device, even if it's not coming from some service provider (OEM)
From 1 gb space used in factory settings to about 200 mb.

Thanks for the bloatware list, it's gonna be useful ^^
You're welcome. Be aware the list of the APK above is NOT listing the bloatwares.
Those are the ones you should LEAVE ALONE.
Additional guide :
Adding third party apps as default system app
As noted above, I've removed SamsungIME.apk, which is the default samsung keyboard (which I hated much, with passion) and replaced it with SwiftKey.
What you'll need :
ES File Explorer
Zip tool; could be Winzip or Winrar on PC, or I use ZArchiver for Android
Purchased apps are stored as .asec in /data/app-private. Using ES File Explorer app backup feature, you can save it as .apk and install it like common apps.
Step-by-step instruction :
After you backed up the purchased apps, uninstall the old (google play installed) one.
Open the newly created apk using zip or zarchiver, you'll find "lib" folder.
Copy the content of "lib" folder (usually with .so extension) to system/lib folder in your device.
Set the copied .so file permission to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644 if you use terminal)
Install the apk like usual using apk installer
find the new installed apk in data/app folder and copy it to system/app folder
set the copied .apk file within system/app folder permission to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644)
The app should become system app and will stay within your device even if a factory reset was done.
Tested on SwiftKey, Delver, ES File Explorer, etc. Doesn't work with MXPlayerPro (let me know if you had success with MXPlayerPro)

Aftermath, background processes and battery consume list. Also attached RemoveMultiWindowIcon.zip (flash it using ClockWorkMod if you hate the multiwindow icon).
I installed dropbox and swiftkey, so if you did a factory reset, you'll only left with 2 active background processes at most (excluding SystemUI and Android core, of course)
Also, list of apk/odex updated, with SecTabletAlarmClock_P4NOTE.apk, ContextAwareService.apk, SecDownloadProviderUi.apk removed, along with their odexes. No problem so far.
SecDownloadProviderUi.apk didn't do anything significant. I rebooted after I removed it, downloading google play still working fine and still give me some progress bar on the download.
However, I've lost the "downloads" icon, which means I cannot clean up the logs, and may be cluttered over time.
Edit :
A full day running the super slim tablet :
Running CSR Racing, Delver, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, TrueSculpt and Google Drive/QuickOffice and tons of other apps without any problem.
MTP detected flawlessly and can send files from my computer through USB without problem.
Wifi internet run without problem, browsing from tablet work marvelously and also mobile data working properly.
Battery obviously last MUCH longer.
Found out that CSC.apk (after first boot/factory reset) and Personalisation.apk (not sure what it does, maybe had something to do with ringtones and wallpapers) are safe to remove. Can anyone confirm this? I've did a full unroot on my device. Well those two are minor, now that you're left with about 40 apks from 170 default apks (78 and 340 if you count the odex files). I think deleting them won't do much now. But just curious, whether they are safe to delete or not.
Also google docs updated
Tested removing these :
BadgeProvider.apk - those badges on the app icon which displayed numbers of received messages/notifications. No crashes removing this.
CSC.apk - Can be removed after first boot. Not sure what it do.
Personalization.apk - said to be safe to remove, and so far it is. Not sure what it do.
NetworkLocation.apk - provide GPS location through Wifi, didn't use GPS on my tablet anyway
Keystring_DFT.apk - contains sets of USSD codes
Keystring_factory.apk - contains sets of USSD codes
Keystring_misc.apk - contains sets of USSD codes
No errors/crashes or anything. Updated first post.
Updated OP, now that I can post links, also added original threads.
Enjoy guys.

hi in your scribd document u gave the list of things that can be removed. so as u have explained the functions for those which shouldnt be removed.can u do the same for those to be removed. then it will help us to more customise(for example- i may need bluetooth,camera,gallery,music player,s note app) so can u specify which are those for the app i mentioned.:good::good::good::good:

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!

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!
