Hello,
I installed a custom ROM and I flashed gapps, but I am missing the exchange e-mail app. How do I get it back. I tried installing the apk from the system image and that didn't work and I tried pushing it to /system/app/ and that didn't work either.

Change the permissions of the email app so it matches the other files permissions in the /system/app dir.
And ya i noticed the same thing, wonder why they left it out.
I tried that and it doesn't work.

It should work, try again with these deodexed files and set the permissions to rw-r--r--

I just installed Paranoid Android ROM and I'm really happy with it but I'm missing the stock email as it's the only one which seems to play nicely with my work exchange server.
I've tried Air Droid and K-9 but they just won't connect, and I don't want to have to shell out on Touchdown.
Has anyone got the stock email apk they could upload for me? Thanks
I am on Stock 4.1 Jelly Bean. By mistake i uninstalled the email.apk using titanium backup. Now not able to install using email.apk from different source nor through titanium backup. Also the email.apk from this link also not installing for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28000240

You may have to fix permissions.

using a file manager like Root Explorer or EStrongs, browse to the file in system/app, open the properties, and change the permissions as rw- r-- r-- (see screenshot)

I'm working on a themed aosp 4.2 keyboard. It would make my life a whole lot easier if i could just install the keyboard as a regular app, but when i try is won't work. What would you need to edit in a system app so that it will install normally without having to move it to system/app and rebooting
Well if you could explain the error....
this is SPARTAAA

For example, if you were to uninstall say the android keyboard that comes bundled with a rom, then you were to extract the apk, and try and just install it, it won't work. The only way i know of getting it to install is to put it into system/app and reboot. So i'm asking if there is a way to edit system apk's so that you can install them regularly.

Never mind I figure it out. I just had to merge the resources file from the new app into the original then resign the original
I have installed the MildWild ROM on my old Desire (which my partner uses). This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453287
I have tried installing the Google Talk app from that page plus also other apk versions from various places but none seem to work. They either fail to install or force close when started. All other apps are fine and the ROM is quite good, stable and quick.
Can anyone help with a fix please. Or link to a guaranteed gtalk apk.
Cheers

are you flashing the zips in recovery? Try downloading the zip from the page, extract it and take the apk out of it. Then using a root explorer, move the apk into /system/app and change the permissions to rw-r-r

No, I was just doing a normal apk install, I didn't realise it was a system app. I will try this when I can.
Thanks very much. :good:

Did you dump it in /system/app, change permissions to rw-r-r, then reboot?

It's not something you install. It is an apk, but you don't need to install anything in /system/app. You would drop it in, change permissions, and reboot. Try wiping dalvik/cache too.
Is there another MMS apk that is more customizable? And can do quick reply? Im finding they either have one or the other. Either the boring stock bubbles with 4 styles/colors or no quick reply. And I want to stay with the stock messaging app.
I'm running the new 9.1 ROM with the new modem.
Everything was working great except I tried to download the new blacked out phone, but I screwed it up.
When I get a call the com.android.phone app FCs and I can't answer the call, when I try and place a call, it says CONTACTs has stopped responding.
Can anyone post the phone and contacts app that I can push to the system/app folder?
Thanks,

You already have it, it's inside the Wicked rom zip file you downloaded and flashed.
Open the Wicked rom zip file which you flashed and open the SYSTEM folder.
(if you don't have the zip file just re-download the wicked v9.1 rom)
Inside that folder there is a folder called APP, open that folder and scroll down until you see
"SecPhone.apk" copy/extract that file to you desktop and then push or copy it to your phones
internal/external sdcard or if you PUSH the file, push it to /system/app .
You will need a root capable file manager like root explorer to do the above.
Be sure to reboot the phone after you are finished doing the above.
Once that's done you will have the same phone (contacts/dialer screens) as you had when you
first flashed the rom.
Just in case you have an issue with it or its not working right be
sure to use the fix permissions options in cwm or twrp recovery.
The reason the blacked out phone did not work for you and caused all the issues
you are having with it is because its not compatible with the phone and or the rom.
Good luck!

Hey, thanks, I really appreciate it, can you confirm what the permissions are supposed to be?
or you could just flash the ROM again without wiping.

When you look at the permissions it should look like the diagram below.

Did you do a nandroid backup?
You might need to do a full wipe and flash ROM again if pushing SecContacts doesn't solved it.

Yeah, this isn't working.
I tried ripping out and replacing both the contacts and phone, changed the permissions, but it's still not working.
Is the phone app permissions the same?
****! Any other last ideas before I do a full wipe?

(there is only one app which needs to be copied back to the phone)
(it's filename is SecPhone.apk - the permissions are RWRR)
(there is no contacts.apk or any other filename which is needed)
Sorry I have no other ideas.
Good luck!
