So.
Being a new android user, I messed around with my phone without a full understanding of what would happen if i uninstalled a core application. I assumed incorrectly that Titanium Backup would allow me to reinstall applications, and then uninstalled the stock clock application thinking that it was one of the many clock widgets.
Could someone upload their stock Clock application apk here, or advise me as to how I can restore the stock clock (preferably without having to flash the original ROM)?

Here. I backup all of the apk that I want to remove. Hope this is what you want.
Is this the stock clock application, like the one used for alarms and such?
EDIT: I attempted to install ClockPackage.apk anyway by using Root explorer, and then moving the apk to /system/app and installing it from there, but it says 'Application not installed.' Am I doing something wrong?

This is for clock, alarm, stopwatch etc. Put the apk on the root of your sd card and install from there. Don have to move it to system/app.

1)keep your clockpackage.apk in system/apps
2)download this .odex file
3)put the file in system/apps, remember to mount r/w in rootexplorer to enable pasting it in there, then mount r/o when finished
4)turn phone off.
5)turn phone on.
Mmmm, same here but I lost the weather widget due to samsung app update. Any one!

Did you add the odex file as explained above?
Yes i followed the guide as described. I have the odex and apk in system/apps folder. Funny, another clock widget im using is showing my next alarm.. but no alarmclock..
Followed the guide above, apk and odex showing in app system/app but still not available anywhere on the phone.
Anyone recommend a third party clockpackage from the market?
Used sgstools to kill my clock so used it to reinstall it to.
added a extra script,
echo "this will reverse the klok hack"
busybox cp -f /sdcard/sgstools/ClockPackage.apk /system/app/
(you might have to remove it fist if you have been messing around to get it working again)
I did the what the above guide said and could not find the app in the application menu. Help!
will reloading the stock firmware fix this issue?

I did the same thing, but when i restart my phone, the clock in not in the app drawer, when i go to TB, it is there, but with a line through it and it won't restore, all attempts to install the apk is failing too... what can i do?
The link for the odex file is down. Also, I'm trying to get this app working on CM7. Is that doable? I love CM, but a couple of the samsung apps are miles beyond what comes with Cyanogenmod - namely the clock, and the camera. I understand I can't swap the camera app, having looked into it, and I'm ok with that. The clock, however... I gotta have my samsung clock back!
Parse Error
I managed to get the ClockPackage.apk and the ClockPackage.odex from another device (running on 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.6) and now I get the following error while trying to install the apk:
"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package"
Does anybody know what to do?
Contacts app backup please help
hi, I recently updated my sgs2 i9100p (NFS) to ics via kies. Its orange but I unlocked now 4.0.3 with baseband ver i9100PBVLP6. an orange bloatware called 'contact backup' irritated me so I decided to uninstall it with Titanium backup. but in a hurry I uninstalled stock contact app. now there is no contact and in every 5-10 second phone freezes and error msg comes-' unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped'. Please help.
AnalogClock.apk + ClockPackage.apk seem to work together.
I used SystemApp Remover to disable ClockPackage.apk, (thought it was a bunch of unnecessary Clock widgets), but stock Clocks package stopped working. I tried enabling it, copying ClockPackage.apk, and still could not. SuperSU logs indicated that all operations succeded normally, but it simply would not work.
I thought, maybe it messed up with program data, permissions, etc., so I removed/deleted both, restarted, then simply copied .apk file for both back. Only then it worked.

There are applications that access data, and there are applications that provide that data. For example, for contacts, you could have many applications that use it (Email, Messenger, Call Logs, etc), and one application that provides it. In case if you accidentally delete data provider (in your case contacts), and if that data provider is essential to running your phone, you will ruin your phone. You might be able to restore it, but I would recommend using Odin to flash correct official firmware. Search in forum "i9100 Android Development".

U are right. I think I uninstalled contact provider, the main contact app. I tried to find solution for all day but coudn't. Tried to flash original stock rom which I have downloaded (i9001PBVLP6) but odin didn't detect my phone in downloading mode. I had to make my phone work anyhow so I flashed Wanamlite 11 with cwm which is ok but not fully functioned on my nfc version sgs2 (now I know the importance of back-up). Now I want my original stock rom back. tried with cwm but didnt work, Odin doesnt detect my phone. any help regarding flashing this stock rom, please?

Since this app is included in the Samsumg rom, we would have to flash it. Anyone willing to be the guinea pig and see if it works (and is worth it) ?
Guinea pig here. Does nothing but a FC loop.
- oh well, thanks for trying at least !
Flashing doesn't work on I9000 either, but the .apk works. You just have to uninstall the existing gallery3d with root explorer, and then reboot, go to settings-manage applications and unintall the leftovers of the gallery. Then install the .apk with astro or similar.
I only did he update. I am going to try the longer way in a bit to test.

So, I was able to get the updated Gallery3dm.apk loaded onto my Vibrant. Using AndroidMate, I copied the original \system\app\gallery3d.apk to my SDcard (as a backup), then deleted the \system\app\gallery3d.apk from my system + the corresponding ODEX file. Reboot. Next, I copied the Gallery3dm.apk (updated version) from my SDcard to \system\app, selected it, and chose Install. Worked fine.
My thoughts? It does have a higher quality when you zoom in, but it seems to have some drawbacks too -- like VERY low-res versions of the files upon first load (and after, it seems), some display strangness (graphic tearing), and the occasional lag. Most of all, the difference is not THAT noticeable. You can check out the *before* and *after* attachments I've uploaded.
I'll be going back to the original Gallery3D.apk for now, but I sincerely hope that Samsung (or whoever) can figure out how to allow for crisp zooming in.
Thanks,
Yip
Were you able to switch back to the old gallery?
(On i9000):
I've tried putting my backup copy of Gallery3D.apk (and odex) into /system/app but it doesn't do anything (doesn't appear in apps menu etc).
If I click on the Gallery3D.apk to try install it, it asks if I want to replace existing system application (yes) but ends up with "Application not installed".
It seems I'll have to stick to the Gallery3Dm till my next FW flash.
Edit:
Oh nvm, seems a reboot did the trick

Wow! The reboot did it for you, eh? Trust me... I rebooted *several* times, but no luck. Finally had to restore from backup. Oh, well...
I didn't notice anyone had a posted a solution to this problem, so I thought I'd do so in case anyone else ran into it.
I was able to freeze apps fine with Titanium Backup on the latest ICS leak (XXLPB as of right now) but ran into some problems when I wanted to defrost them. Titanium Backup said they were defrosted successfully but they still were listed as frozen and didn't appear in the app drawer.
Here is how to solve the problem:
1. Find /data/system/packages.xml with Root Explorer or an equivalent
2. Make a backup of packages.xml right away in the same folder in case we mess anything up any need to restore it later
3. Copy packages.xml onto the root of your internal or external storage
4. Plug your device into your computer and copy packages.xml from the root of your storage over to your computer
5. Open the packages.xml on your computer with your editor of choice - I suggest Notepad++
6. Search for the string {enabled="2"} (without the { }). Every line ending in this represents a frozen app. The lines should look something like this:
Code:
<package name="com.sec.android.widgetapp.socialhub" codePath="/system/app/SocialHubWidget.apk" nativeLibraryPath="/data/data/com.sec.android.widgetapp.socialhub/lib" flags="1" ft="11b7e237e00" it="11b7e237e00" ut="11b7e237e00" version="1" sharedUserId="10001" [COLOR="Red"]enabled="2"[/COLOR]>
7. Now for every app you wish to unfreeze, replace {enabled="2"} with {enabled="1"} (again, without the {})
7. Save packages.xml, move it back onto your phone's storage, and use Root Explorer or an equivalent to replace your original packages.xml at /data/system/packages.xml with your new one
8. Reboot

***UPDATE*** Feb 29, 2011
See this post for a way to freeze and unfreeze system apps without messing with the packages.xml file. Thanks polzovotel.
Will doing this then allow titanium backup to freeze/defrost apps as it should, or do I have to do this each time I want to defrost an app?
You will have to do this each time you want to defrost an app.
However, I would imagine it would be pretty trivial for a dev to make an app to automate the process. Unfortunately, I don't have the coding knowledge to do that.
Seems daft I cannot defrost apps on Android 4 in titanium or my tool box just doesn't work.
Not really getting any help from the app developers either!

Hmmm, so you both have some apps successfully defrosted using this method and some not. And I'm assuming you have double checked to make sure you did the process correctly and made the changes to the right app references in the file.
I'm just brainstorming here, but can you think of anything that the apps which didn't defrost have in common? Are they all user apps, systems apps, on SD, protected apps,...etc?
cant defrost
umm, first scuse my "english"
maybe something is not function well in my phone
but i think too that the problem are some apps that has variuos services running
have you tried using the gemini app?
thanks
wow thanks johhny
everything works . i did it on my galaxy note
here's what i did:
replace {enabled="true"} with {enabled="1"}
There is a nice option in in the ICS rom itself - to disable/enable applications. So there is no need to deal with the packages.xml file - just use native interface:
For me - working w/o any issues.

That is a good solution, but it only works for system apps. Otherwise if it is a user app your only choice is total uninstallation... which is less than ideal in some circumstances.
I thought I found a work around for user apps by using Titanium backup to convert them to system apps so you could disable them through the native interface...but this led to apps disappearing from the system... so it looks like it isn't a viable workaround.

But I also saw some lines with :
Code:

Hi all,
Check out Titanium Backup 4.8.4 which performs ICS-friendly freezing now. Also in case you cannot defrost an app, check out Power defrost in the Batch menu
They have issued an update which should fix this problem. The logcats I sent must have helped!!

Hi guys...
I have a problem here. I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 through superuser one click and installed an app called ninja-morph from the market. This app can extract the files of an apk and we can replace objects such as image icons, in the folders in order to make them look as we want to. What happened now was that I changed the icons of two of my system apps successfully - Browser & Gallery. Then I thought of changing the icon of settings app, I tried 2 do so but what happened was that it didn't change and it started force closing. Then I went on to the web and searched for many solutions and so I downloaded an apk, shifted it to my phone an tried to install it but it didn't install. After many tries and changes through ninja-morph too I couldn't do anything. Now the problem is that I can't use wifi 'cause it needs settings. I can't even download any alternative 2 use wifi 'cause it needs wifi. I can't to anything related to internet or settings now. And worse, I just Factory Data Reseted to try if anything can be solved, but no... I just deleted all my apps. One way is to reload the software. But is it safe to do it with a root? Because I can't un-root it. Please Help Me Out.

Which rom are you using?
Seems your settinga apk got corrupted. Your options are:
-extract the original settings apk from the rom you're using and place it in system/app (with a root Explorer), with rw-r-r permissions.
-reflash a complete rom (custom through cwm or stock trough Odin)
Also, make a habit of backing up your original stuff before modding.

I recently flashed stock rom on my phone. Everything's working fine except Messages. Whenever I try to open it, it says "App isn't installed". Can anyone please give me the Messages.apk from systems directory. please i'm not able to send or receive texts
Have you checked data/app to see if the apk is there? If it is both there and in system/app that's probably the cause of the problem. I attached mine anyway, it may or may not work though seeing as mine is the Mms.apk from a custom ROM.. Try it though, as long as you delete the current Mms.apk in system/app it should still work.

I figured what the problem was. Its because I was using nova launcher and I had restored a backup of the nova settings from what i had on a custom rom. So the shortcut on my home screen kept saying 'App isn't installed'. But thanks a lot! nonetheless for attaching the files! It might come to use of others facing similar problems in the future!
PS: Thanks to Bala_Gamer for telling me about the Nova Settings
The problem:
I rooted my Galaxy Ace and installed an app called Root Cleaner. Though it did a good job on cleaning up the internal memory, the app also had an option to uninstall system and non-system apps. It so happened that I accidentally tapped on Bluetooth Share and it got uninstalled without asking any confirmation. Now, whenever I try to send a file via Bluetooth, it simply gets queued and refuses to be sent.
//pics go here, unable to submit them due to 10 post limitation...
So I realized I messed up. I had to find a way to re-install Bluetooth Share.
What I tried to do:
I rooted my friend's Galaxy Ace (both of them are 2.3.6), compared the programs in /system/app and sure enough BluetoothPbap.apk was missing from my list. So I copied the .apk onto my sd card, then copied it to the /system/app directory. Total Commander asked me for rw permissions, I just pressed ok and the file got copied. I tried installing the .apk, but I simply got "Application not installed". I looked around for ways of re-installing system apps, but one page suggested simply leaving the .apk in the /app folder and re-staring the phone. After doing so Bluetooth Share was back on the system app list, yet it is still unable to send any files.
Sooo... Help? What I suspect right now is that the .apk file I got might be in some way incompatible with my device, though I got it from and Ace with the same version of Android, could this really be the case? Any advice is welcome.
Oh, and another interesting thing. After doing everything mentioned above, I tried deliberately uninstalling Bluetooth Share and reinstalling it. The BluetoothPbap.apk disappears from /system/app, but when I paste it in and try to install it, It asks if I want to replace the application. In other words, It's asking me if I want to replace something that isn't installed, so I have no idea how to explain this.
