I think we should have a sticky post or at least added into one of the mega posts that people should freeze apps for a while before deleting them instead of doing it permanently the first time round.

Flashing isn't so bad. I think you can flash without losing data.

Am I correct in assuming what you meant to advise him is to first take a Nandroid of his current setup. Then flash the FTF, install CWM again and then use advanced restore to restore everything except system.

So... You uninstalled an apk to uninstall apk's?

I'm looking for this .apk as well, I just updated to Kezraplane's Optimized Galaxy W Stock V2 and there is no email client, I know I could get one from the marketplace but the default client supports my hotmail accounts without any messing about.
Here you go. Hope it's the right one.

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] Play Store not working

So I just flashed the Darkside ICS ROM to my phone and now I am unable to go in to the Play Store, I was able to do it earlier. I think it might have happened when Ti Backup asked me if I wanted to restore my device's old ID #. Anyway to fix this?
Maybe delete and dl the store apk again

Uninstall TI completely and re-install it, when it asks to restore your old ID then tell it yes, it should reboot and fix it.
I just used Root Explore to delete the Play Store apk and reinstalled it with the latest version, problem fixed. Thanks Guys

[Q] *#*#7378423#*#* not working (not able to access service menu)

Hey guys, as the title says, when I type *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu, it doesn't work. (the code just vanishes actually)
As for some background info, I have a r800a, and this issue started after I flashed the NXT rom. I tried searching the forums first, but couldn't find any solutions. Any help?
Thanks in advance.
There must be ServiceMenu.apk in /system/app to be able to use that feature. If you have other GB rom in PC, you can extract it and install it as system app. I know AuroraPlay rom have it, i'm not sure for others...

Thanks for the help! That's exactly the problem. I went ahead and did as you said and it worked like a charm.
For other people who might have the same problem, I have uploaded the servicemenu.apk with this post, and the entire app folder as a link for it is too big for xdadevelopers. I extracted these apps from the R800_4.0.2.A.0.79 ftf file, which is for the r800a model. I'm not sure if these apks are interchangeable so use at your own risk.

It doesn't help me. I return all files related to keyboard, but they still crash. I think i delete something else which can happen this.
Maybe anyone know what can cause this?

What about the rebooting part? It should have refreshed the system, going dizzy between erasing and restoring files

What are you talking about?
I reboot my Z1C many times after that. I also cleared dalvik cache and cache, but it doesn't help also.
Either you've to reinstall the firmware again or else use some third party keyboard.. But it's strange that permission change didn't help you..

What is Customer Care is? Sony staff?
If yes, what can i say them? I unlocked bootloader, delete some "unncessary" stuff from /system, and omg, my keyboard is crashing anytime when i use it. What i'm doing wrong?!!??

Reflash the firmware. And take this as a lesson: never delete something from /system if you don't know exactly what it is. Rename it to something like *.apk.old and delete it after you made sure that everything is still working and you really don't need it.

I delete the same files on my Xperia Z. And everything is working fine.
So i don't know the reason why it crashes on Z1C.

Maybe you deleted something else. You can also download this file from step 6 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081
Then unpack it. Inside you will find a file system.tgz, unpack that too and then you will have system/apps where you can compare which files are missing on your phone.
I have the same problem, but not even a factory reset solved it! Well, I might as well get a better keyboard

Did you mount the system. How did you back up it. Using titanium back or any other app.

Flash the stock ROM zip and all will be fine

Permissions need to be 0644 and root access level if I remember correctly.

I remmber seeing Samsung Camera.apk separately on some thread for the phone. You can try searching.. If not unzip and take off the Samsung camera from the Stock and install and make it a system app, Considering some additional files required to make it usable..
