Samsung Cloud Zip file? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

So...
I had problems with samsung cloud 'having problems connecting to servers' or something along those lines, which annoyed me cos I use it for stuff like backing up photos so I uninstalled the system app through ES file explorer. I realised I screwed up cos I thought I could reinstall or something through Galaxy appstore, and installed various versions off sammobile and apkmirror, but with the apkmirror apks, the installer said 'conflicts with an already existing package'. As for the sammobile apk, although it downloaded properly, and I put it in as a file in /system/app in the folder SamsungCloud, and also deleted my account off account manager and re logged in the samsung cloud section in settings, it would go back to the animation that introduces you to Samsung Cloud after logging in, bringing up a dialog box 'account already exists in account manager'.
Apparently you can flash a zip for system apps to fix this problem, and I was wondering if that would work in this case, and if so whether someone could provide a zip file.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Rooted Samsung Fascinate v. Google talk service

So yes, Titanium Backup and the deletion of google talk are at it again. This time I actually knew I shouldn't delete then brain farted and did it anyway. So here lies my marketless and FC gapps everytime I pull the market app up.
For the record I searched as best as possible for a solution and the closest I got was a link for gtalk and the Evo 4G, and needless to say it still doesn't work, the market and the force close gapps.service still happens after re install
A solution without a flash and re-root is preferred, please educate the new guy! Thanks for the record I know I'm a jack wagon lol.
Search these forums (or Google) for Fascinate System Dump. It will have whatever files you deleted.
So dump files obtained. Is this is simple drag and drop to the OS or do I need a program on the computer to be able to interface with the filesystem on the Fascinate?
Bare with me guys, while I bring myself up to speed on tearing through the Andriod OS, hacking windows is one thing - tearing apart my phone for the first time - thats a whole nother ball game for me.

So I did that, finally got the files onto my phone and reinstalled all the google.apks including ones that were already existing on the phone.
To no avail I still get the gapps Force close and I'm still unable to download from market after restoring Google Talk Service.
Any help or a simple suggestion would be appreciated - been trying this all day with no success.
I'm not sure if you "installed" the apps or if you placed them back in their proper folder(s), but my guess is that any app you had pre-installed which you deleted was previously in the /system/app folder. The dump has all the files in this folder. You don't need to re-install these files, you need to just copy them back to the /system/app folder.
When you download and install an app, it will install to /data/app. If you "installed" the files rather than copying them back to /system/app, that may be the problem.
On a side-note, this is why I like to move files from one folder to another rather than use Titanium Backup to delete apps/files.
Don't forget to reboot your phone after you copy the files back to /system/app.
Lastly, I'm not responsible for what you break.

Roger that side note - that will be my new policy when managing files.
As far as the clarification - I have been indeed installing the apps instead of moving them to the appropriate location - I guess the difference in installation location never occurred to me. Thank you in advance for the heads up and I'll report my success or failure, hopefully success after i get out of work this evening.
Don't worry if I brick I won't hold you accountable - after all I'm the one who deleted Google apps from the Andriod phone. LOL, In hindsight it was a terrible Idea.

Debloating - Went One Step Too Far

Rooted, stock, 4.4.2 and I went one step too far manually debloating my Note3. I've always used QuickPic for images so I removed SecGallery2013.apk and .odex from /system/priv-app folder. Now I find that Gallery is tied to both the Camera and Contact apps. (ie. it won't let me use QuickPic for adding Contact images).
Reinstalled .apk and .odex files to /priv-app folder, but Gallery not showing up in Apps screen. Titanium doesn't see it either, and camera complains "Unable to open app: com.sec.android.gallery3d is disabled". Perhaps I need to reinstall another Samsung component which I may have removed in my zeal to own my Note3?
Fixed
Never mind, it was incorrect permissions. All OK now.

Baidu folder on my SGS4

Hi,
In my SGS4 i got a folder called "Baidu", I do checked and deleted and it comes back after few seconds after deleted.
I had removed some app's to test and nothing works, the folder come back.
I don't use ES File Manag.
It just creates 2 db files.
Android 5.0.1.
Thanks.
Are you using Baidu browser? Cuz that's probably why it is there. Or any other app that has been created by them.
No, not using that.
No Baidu apps at all? Then it must be some adware.
I had it too. Just did a factory reset to wipe the internal storage and it's gone. Lol. Maybe u can backup ur stuff and try that for the last resort.
Confirm, no baidu apps.
I had done that reset and the folder is still there. It must be some app process, but which app?
No solution to catch app?
Install an antivirus software and do a scan. That might be adware.
Scan by Avast! doesn't report anything, finished with 0 errors.
Hi,
Problem found. That was Samsung Vitamins program creating that folder, after disable it and test no more Baidu folder.

Sprint 5.0.1 Calendar Storage APK and ODEX

Could anyone link to or send me these two files? I did some googling and I found them for older versions of Android but not for the stock lollipop rom for my phone. Flashing my phone with a new ROM isn't an option right now. I was trying to delete the stock calendar app so that Google Calendar would stop asking me to choose between the two when I create a new event with voice commands but accidentally deleted the Calendar storage Apk also. Next time I promise I will make a backup with titanium backup first! I already tried using the files from an older version and also from a sprint s5 but neither of these worked.
I downloaded what I believe to be the stock rom (took the better part of the day since it was on RapidGator: L720VPUGOH1_L720SPTGOH1_L720VPUGOH1_HOME.tar.md5) and I followed rwilco12's guide to extract the files I needed. I set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and moved them to the system/app folder, but Google Calendar and Calendar Storage both still crash and fail. I tried creating a folder the way it was in on the image (in priv-app) but still no dice.

problem opening apk lite P9

Hello to all,
I found this annoying problem for a few weeks when I open the .apk files directly from notifications instead of starting the installation of the app, the same file is opened by the "File Manager" as a .zip preventing me from installing the app but permettondomi in vain to check the contents. Initially this did not happen, but he walked directly installation. I checked if the manager appeared as the default app but it is not nothing. Does anyone have advice on how can I bring everything to the initial situation? It could be a default of the last update (VNS-L31C55B150)?
Hello.
I think that if you long click the APK in the Notification Bar it will take you to the exact place in Settings where you can change the default opening Program.
If that fails, try to Reset your app-preferences. Have you changed/flashed/installed anything prior to the problem ?
I do not remember but maybe Precise And coincided with the upgrade of system
I have just had the same issue as you, yet when downloading the apk from a different source worked for me. I don't really know why it gets detected as just a .zip archive rather than a apk. Have you tried other sources or renaming/repacking the apk ?
Solve looking for the apk file you downloaded, and opening it with the file manager, but I do so in more steps
