[Q] Reinstalling Timescape

Hi. Been searching everywhere and cant find a way to reinstall timescape.
I have tried system/apps but the apk is not there anymore or anything that is connected to Timescape.
The reason I deleted timescape is because it is one of the reasons that the battery life is so bad on the X10.
Now I cant get to my contacts. I am using acontacts.apk but for some reason the resolution is very bag on my contacts pics.
I have found a timescape.apk but it says it cannot install on my device. Maybe the apk is compatible for certain builds?
Maybe someone can suggest another app for contacts with a better pic resolution.
Thanks in advance
Oh yes : using rooted 026

Here a the Timescape.apk file

Thanks man.
DL now will let you if everything is cool.

You need to correct the permissions of the apk file once you have copied it over to system\app otherwise it will give you the error you stated in your earlier post.

Not sure what could be causing this. I have not had any problems with it since install. You could try leaving all files in place and clicking on the apk. And selecting install. Also did you change permissions to RW- R- R-?

Looks like the lib files need to be set to RW-R-R as well. Maybe just update the OP and state that under the steps because it is only mentioned to set permissions on the apk files

It is the new one, from a leak before S5 came out. VZW decided not have it on their version as VZW likes to make you have only what THEY want on your device.
The lay out is different, has the option to have a bookmark home or a physical homepage. It has a home button unlike chrome. You can download videos direct from this browser as well where on chrome alot of times it would not download files and i had to use yet another app taking up space on my phone. I believe it allows for flash as well unlike chrome.
Its all about personal preference, i like google as my homepage and not my favorites or bookmarks, i like the lay out and options, i like the home button in the browser, it is plenty fast, i like direct downloads, and i havent tried a flash page yet.. but on previous versions it worked great.
Hope this helps!

Oh yeah and the Air browse and motion controls do not work in chrome but do within this browser... need to be turned on within phone settings of course.

Are you installing as a system app? Try putting in the pri-app folder, then set the permissions and reboot. You can always reinstall the firmware too, if you need too.

I finally installed these two! But they didn't work! When I try to open downloads they crush immediately!

If your device are rooted install root explorer and go to system then priv-app you make new folder and name it as same your apk name then open it and put your apk there then change permission to rw-r-r may be this can help you i hope that

5.4.0.0 is super old, mine are from 5.3.6.4.
Your best bet is to reload the firmware at this point. You'll save yourself a lot of headache.
