In my haste on my freshly rooted Nexus, I used Titanium Backup to uninstall some apps I don't use that I know I can get from the market if I ever wanted them, but I got a bit quick and uninstalled the stock Email app instead of freeze it (in case I ever wanted to use it). I did a factory reset but that doesn't bring it back so my question is, can anyone post the apk and tell me where to put it to get it back? I think the proper location is /system/app, is that correct? Thanks.
Yep, /system/app. There are two APKs with the Email icon: EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk. I've attached both as a ZIP.
Thanks a lot!
OK so I'm still a bit new to this. I used root explorer to mount /system/app as r/w and changed the permissions on the EmailGoogle.apk to rwxr--r--. I already have ExchangeGoogle.apk. I have enabled "allow non-market apps" in my settings but I'm still getting "application not installed" when i try to install it. What am I missing? I used the RootToolkit to unlock and root my Galaxy Nexus, but I do have some experience using adb from the past with rooting my Droid. Do I need adb to install this?

You won't be able to install it, just use a root explorer (such as ES File Explorer) to manually copy the file to /system/app, it should then show up as installed.
Ah ok. I did a reboot and it's still not in my app drawer.

I wasn't thinking; you'll need the ODEX as well. I've attached both files, just copy them both into /system/app and let me know if that works.
That did it! Excellent!

so i removed friendstream.apk because of forcecloses and htcfacebook for sense i got the apks from a stock rom and used root explorer to mount and paste the files into the /system/app folder so theyre there, but i dont see the apps or widgets but when i try to install them using the app manager on android it says its already installed, any ideas? thanks!
im using damage control 3.2.3 with a custom kernel for damage control 3.7.1, thanks!
Leave them on your sd card and then try installing them using your file explorer.

when pusing them to /system/app with root explorer you have to change the permissions of each app you copy over (hold select the app and choose change permissions) i just check off all of the permissions thingys
when pushing through adb it does that automatically
hope that helps
the default ones are all can read and user can write plus read
Thread moved to Q&A.
yea i checked all the permissions and used adb before and still not showing up, lol really frustrating
any ideas guys, really miss friendstream lol
An easy way to fix permissions is through ROM manager.
Download it in the market and select fix apk permissions.
That might do the trick..
Don't forget to reboot.
yea tried that doesnt work, really weird
Very strange, did you try an adb install? Rather than push..
Hello all! I rooted my EVO last month, and am running the Fresh EVO 3.5 ROM. The developer removed many of the OEM "apps" including the FM radio. (I use quotes, because things like the FM radio aren't just apps... it's part of the functionality of the phone, and without it, you're removing a capability of the phone.)
In order to get it back, I tried installing from the SD card where he stored all the removed apps, which the developer himself says wouldn't work. No surprise, it didn't work. "Application not installed"
I moved it to system/app and tried to install, whence I'm again told "Application not installed."
Downloaded the .apk (found by searching some forums), moved it into system/app and tried installing it with the same result ("Application not installed").
Tried using "AppInstaller" on the .apk, same result.
I'm frustrated that this ROM, while great in every other respect, has killed some of the functionality of my phone. If someone could help me get the FM radio back, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
Try flashing this file from your recovery the same way you installed the Fresh ROM. It will install the HTC FM Radio app in your system/app. Without a zip file like this you would normally need to use an application like Root Explorer.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3000044/FM_Radio-FreshEvo-3.5.0.1-02142011.zip
P.S. Even though this is the app section its more for developing and modifying apps. In the future you should post basic questions like this in the Q&A section.
Thanks for the help and advice.
Your .zip did install the FM radio and widget files to the system/app folder, but they still will not install. I get the same message as I did before.
Also, I have Root Explorer - that's how I moved the .apk to the system/app folder in my original attempt.
I posted a tweaked apk in flipz's thread a few month's back that should install for you, by flashing from recovery. You can give it a shot as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9989719&postcount=7252
here you go, just flash
I guess I am not sure what issue you are having. I am running Fresh with out FM radio installed. I was able to use root explorer to move the file to system/app, then set the permissions, and reboot and once I was back into the launcher I was able to use the HTC radio app which was not there before. After doing that I restored my backup to before having the radio app installed and tried again using the zip file I supplied, rebooted, and I was able to use the app.
^ And for some reason, I was not able to do the same. The file was in system/app, but it would not install.
Toxin715 - Worked beautifully! Thank you!
Out of curiosity, do you have anything similar for the radio widget? I get the "Application not installed" error with that, as well... it's not as big of a deal, though.

If you have moved the apk to /system/app on your phone you do not need to install it, just reboot.

If that had been the case, I would've never bothered trying to install it, because "FM Radio" would've shown up in my apps and I'd have been happy to post that the issue was resolved. After rebooting when I had moved it to system/app with Root Explorer, it was not in my apps list, so I tried to install it (to no avail). Even after flashing the .zip you posted (after which I had to reboot to get out of recovery), it was in system/app, but not in my apps list; when I clicked on it in Root Explorer, I was given the "Application not installed" error. Even after flashing the .zip that Toxin715 and JsChiSurf posted, it was in system/app, but not in my apps list - the difference here was that when I went into Root Explorer and clicked on it, it let me install it, so now that issue is resolved.
Similarly, the widget is in system/app, but I assure you that I am not able to use the widget (I was going to post screen shots, but since I'm a n00b, the forum won't let me).
Toxin715 - Yes, if you could provide insight (or a .zip) for the widget, I'd be extremely grateful.
JsChiSurf - Thank you! I now see that it's your .zip, I just happened to try it directly from what Toxin715 had posted, so I didn't realize it at the time. Out of curiosity, what made your .zip any different from the others that I've tried and had no success with?
And open question to all who are reading - why would the app not show in my apps list if it is installed in system/app? Could something have gone wrong during the install of my ROM that perhaps a re-flash might correct?
Here's what I did to get it to work (using Root Explorer):
1) Copied HTCFMRadio.apk from fresh-removed-apks folder on my SD card
2) Navigated to system/app folder and clicked on "Mount R/W" button to make folder writable.
3) Pasted HTCFMRadio.app file in the system/app folder
4) Modified the permissions to match the other apps (rw-r--r--)
5) Rebooted the phone
That worked perfectly for me. I didn't modify the permissions at first and wasn't able to view the app in my app drawer. After I modified the permissions and rebooted, the app showed up as installed and worked perfectly.
Could someone post the allshare app that comes with the galaxy s2 on here? I just flashed a miui rom but no longer have allshare.
Thanks in advance
Hope this helps
Thanx man...

you need to put it in your system/App folder using root explorer and set permissions, it can't be installed using a package installer
I've tried this method on my GS2 with the provided file and I just can't get it to work. It did work with the MicrobesGl live wallpaper though.

I deleted the DigitalClock widget by accident. I know there's plenty in market, but I liked the stock one. Anyway, I have the .apk, moved the .apk to /system/app with Root Explorer and changed the permissions (now it's rw-r--r--). But still, when trying to install, the message "Application not installed" appears.

when the app is moved into the system/app folder it is then installed, no need running the .apk through a package installer because youll just get the "Application not installed" error, this is because your trying to install a system app which is what the apk is and not a standard installable app.
once moved into the system/app folder and permissions set, check your widgets if not there do a reboot then check again, if its still not there then your doing something wrong or setting the wrong permissions.
If it's not installing, could it be because it's a Samsung app? For example the stock camera, phone and messaging apps just won't install when I'm on CM7. So I'm assuming the same is true for Allshare, though I may be wrong.

Thanks, tried all but the widget won't appear on the list. I guess something is wrong with the .apk then.

Samsung apps will only work on Samsung ROMs unless modded to work on ALL Android devices just like any other app specific to any other ROM
The app in this thread is odexed and for thus wont work with most ROMs as these are deodexed.

I backed up and then deleted my play store using titanium backup but when I went to restore it it wouldn't let me. So I tried to move it to system/apps using a few file explorers like root explorer,Es explorer and super manager but non of them let me put system folder into rw mode , and yes I did give all of them root rights. I also tried to use the adb command on the terminal with su rights but that did nothing, does anyone have any advice besides reseting my phone.i am also running Jedi mind trick x3(i know I need to update)

In ES, you have to go to 'Root Explorer' under 'Tools', then 'Mount R/W', then use the radio buttons to give it write permissions (given that you have root already).

I have this problem too! I am currently trying to uninstall the system youtube app because it wont let me install the new 5.0 update without doing that as I have a modded youtube apk. I am on AOKP custom ROM
Had the bright idea to delete the stock gallery app while clearing bloatware. Unbeknownst to me, that was needed to set the lock screen wallpaper to anything other than the stock wallpapers. I use quickpic instead. Now I can't set a picture as the lock screen background (I can change wallpaper).
I've tried reinstalling the gallery, but when choosing to set the paper from the home screen, the gallery option does not show up. Is there a way to again associate the gallery, or an alternative app to do so?

I'm no expert, but have you restored gallery back to /system/app or did you just click on .apk and chose to install it? Because if you installed it, it went to /data/app - maybe that's the reason it does not function as it supposed to?
And second, try to run it as an app - see if it starts in first place, maybe there's something else missing. Perhaps you deleted odex file as well, and because of this it does not start?
Just did a little experiment - restored apk and odex files back to /system/app - and option to change wallpaper appeared again. No reboot needed.
Move gallery apk to system/app and set the permissions to rw-r-r aand reboot.

I believe you both are right, as I just installed like normal. Noob issue though, when I go to copy and paste the apk into system/app, I get a permission denied message. I'm rooted of course and granted es file explorer su privileges, so I'm not sure why. Any suggestions?

You need to remount /system as read-write, just like you did before removing apps (if you removed them manually). Go to your terminal emulator or use ./adb shell get superuser (by typing "su") and type: mount -o rw,remount /system
After that you can move files to*/system. Just don't forget to reboot or remount /system as read-only when done.
Root explorer allows pasting and permissions changing. I'm not sure I'm using the right apk. I had a nexus one that installed and worked (though not able to change lock screen). I uninstalled it, and installed 2 different versions of the Samsung app. It never gets recognized on the reboot like the nexus one did. I assume I'm using the wrong one. Any link to an official one? I am on 4.1.2 stock.
Thanks again

Any specific way to install it all back? I put everything back in system/app and rebooted. Nothing changed, it's not installed, and Android didn't "Update Apps" on the reboot. I try to install it with package installer like any other app and that fails. I've tried your odex and mine (which was never deleted).
That's great advice!
