Restore System App - Desire General

Hi,
I stupidly deleted an system app 'Flash' to be precise while experimenting with Titanium Backup. Firstly I updated the default Flash to the new 10.1 then integrated it to the ROM then decided I wanted to undo this, but can't find and option to do this procedure.
Please can some one help me restore my HTC Desire default flash.
Just to note backup doesn't seem to restore anything.
Thanks.

If it was a .APK that you deleted, the easiest option is to us ADB push command to put it back on the phone.
You would need to source it first, but you should find it if you extract you ROM.ZIP file.

Could you kindly tell me, how I may do this?

Post exactly which ROM you are using and i'll remove it for you and post it up

hmm flash. If only we had a unified place where we could collect all such third party apps. It could have a search function, menus and maybe even paid apps. Then people in need of an app could just find it here and install it right away.
Ohh wait it's called the market.
If the app is gone, you should be able to install it from the market and afterwards you can move the .apk file to the system partition.

this a stock nandroid backup, there is no GOOGLE ACCOUNT associated with this. if you find superuser is gone you will need to get it from the market, same with rommanager.just extract and put it in >clockworkmod>backup on sd, then boot into recovery and restore backup.

thank you for telling me. new links are up and working
FYI the phone is totally usable without ANY accounts setup. After I re-flashed mine with the stock image I didn't bother to sign in or create accounts for anything and the phone worked fine except not letting me use market until I did. So you may want to re-dump a nandroid w/o even a dummy account to avoid issues of "OMG PRIVATE DATAZ" from people in PMs.

I'm no longer removing links to NANDROIDS, users are aware that NANDROIDS contain private information and by uploading them and posting links to them on here you are saying you don't care. I have stickied a thread by a fellow community member as a fare warning.

No... people should make sure they know what they are doing before doing a backup.
For example, the stock rom on this phone "automatically" syncs some contact data with T-Mobile. Wipe the phone and make a backup, and before you get the chance to make the backup, that phone contact database has already be automatically downloaded from T-Mobile. If you don't do the wipe/backup right, you WILL end up posting your private data.

yes, everything is stock. you will still be rooted but the apps like superuser will not be there, you will need to get them from the market before you can use any root features

Would i be able to unroot if i want to stay stock. Also is this file includes ota update i would say 2.2.1
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
yes it includes the update. from what I understand there is no way to permanently unroot the phone until htc patches what we used to root in the first place . I maybe wrong but that's the way I understood it
Thanks for u help. I come from iphone jailbreak back ground and it seems android is little more complicated. I just need to get use to the android game.

No, just saying from my own experience when I re-flashed with the stock 2.2 zipfile to restore some system apps I had deleted, that the phone functioned fine w/o ever setting up any accounts on it. Just skipped through all the setup screens and started using it.
edit: Which is very different from the G1 (where I came from) that only allowed 911 calls w/o a Google Account setup.
By the way, when you say "Stock", is this PRE-OTA "Stock", or Post-OTA "Stock" ?

Removing/unistalling Some HTC programs?

The latest version of Titanium Backup will colour the system apps red, so you know what you're getting into.
Avoid apps that you can't see on the apps drawer and it should be fine.
You can delete these programs from system/app in the rom zip file before you flash it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Before removing anything form Leedroid look at the wiki to see which apps can be removed safely. You can delete apps that are not on the list but if you run i to issues you know why.
do i do this on the phone or on my pc? any special software needed?
thanks in advance
Yes.
To delete the apps from the zip you need special software like winzip or winrar, high tech stuff.
Just go to he /system/app/ directory and remove what you don't want and know it's safe.
And for example, if you want to make your life harder use ADB via recovery.
There are other methods too, if you are not satisfied with the zip editing.

Ok cool. I had never opened rom's zip file before, didn't realise I could 'play ' with it like that
Will experiment later, after a back up!

I'm not sure if it's the best practice, but I always trim my zip files without actually unzipping them (right click unzip).
You actually have an alternative if you're already installed and suddenly feel to lazy to wipe your phone. Get titanium, then go to the list of apps, long press, then choose "force remove app".
Although I'm not sure if it will cause any conflicts with your ROM.
Safety first!
I've been using this tutorial for removing stock apps.. works perfectly..

This Is a system app and has to be installed on the rom it self.
If not it just won't work.

Due to a comment made about the .apk by KezraPlanes, who built the ROM I'm using, I'm sure that the installer can be obtained and will probably be installed using RzRecovery, I only asked on this thread to help the OP and myself get an answer.
Don't get me wrong i'm only trying to give you the correct answer ;-)
If apps not are in the ROM where they should be normally you have to flash them in the operating disc.
Another solution would be to copy the right files into the operating system.

You can't install the apk like you can with a user-level app, because this is a system app.
You need to copy the .apk (and the associated .odex file if there is one) directly to /system/app. To that you need to be root, and you need a root-capable file explorer which can re-mount the system partition as writeable. ES File Explorer on the market works fine - check the settings to re-mount the partition as writeable, then copy the file(s) to where they need to be
I believe you can also push the file into /system/app using adb, but that's probably more complicated and risky than using a file explorer on your device.

[Q] HOW TO....

There are 2 points I need some help at.
1. Is there a possibility to remove (automatically) some apps after each ROM install? Even with a striped ROM, there are some apps that I don't need or I want replaced.
2. How can I make a pack of my personal apps that should be automatically installed (silent install, no confirmation for each app)?

I dont think there is.. if you really wanna do that you gotta run some sort of script through terminal or something..

1: u can manually delete them with root explorer
2: either with titanium backup or make a zip and flash through recovery
You could also open the update.zip in WinZip remove the things you don't want and drag the files or .apk into it.

[Q] JMT 6 - Anyone able to get Mobile Print out of the "Goodybag" app to install?

[Q] JMT 6 - Anyone able to get Mobile Print out of the "Goodybag" app to install?
Edit - Meant to say Mobile Print app out of the Goodybag.
First - Great ROM. I've used the last three versions, and so far, it's been a keeper. :good:
Second - I did the usual: Flashed new version over previous version. Tried to install the app, afterwards. When it didn't install, I performed a wipe using TWRP. When that didn't work, I did a fresh install (Complete wipe using Infamous followed by a TWRP wipe then followed by an install of JMT 6).
I haven't had any other issues with this ROM. I just saw this app in PTMR's goodybag, and it would be nice if I could use it.
Actually, there is one more thing: Anyone been able to get Smart Stay to work?
You should be able to extract the Apk from the prior rom's zip and then install it on the new version. If it's one that needs to be installed as a system app, you will need to use a root explorer app to set the permissions.

The app didn't exist in the prior version. The "Goodybag" is additional apps that can be loaded after the ROM installation. Granted, a few apps were included on previous ROM versions, but Mobile Print wasn't one of them.
I've already tried the side install method to make it a system app. Checked permissions, etc. App still won't install.

Yeah that's a rough one then. Sorry to say but I've don't have any other suggestions if setting the permissions as a system app didn't work.

Oh well. I'll need to email PTMR3 about this. (Been trying to get past the 10 post minimum so I can post directly in the development threads. If it weren't for that, I could ask PTMR3 in his thread. lol.) Thanks for your input, anyway. It's appreciated.
Well, I found out that this app only works with Samsung printers and the app itself is available on the Play Store. Since I don't have a Samsung printer, I'm not going to concern myself with this, anymore.
How do we load the items in the goodybag? I downloaded 3 items and tried to load the from zip via CWM but it ended up getting my phone stuck in a boot loop. I ended up having to flash JMT all over again and start from scratch. Obviously I did something wrong. I've searched all over the forums and all I can find is something about using Aroma to install them, but the process looks confusing.
