[Q] Restore origina calendar.apk - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a rooted Galaxy S2 - in a delete-fest I wiped the calendar.apk as I had another calendar (aCalendar) installed. I realise now that aCalendar seems to rely on the default calendar.apk for notifications and creating/editing events, etc.
I have a backup created with titanium backup but I can't figure out how to extract the original calendar apk from the .img files.
I can't find the original calendar.apk on the official samsung firmware download site.
Does anyone have any idea how I could recover the stock calendar.apk ?
Thanks!

Sorry, I was thinking of something else while typing that... I mean, I was unable to extract the calendar.apk from the stock firmware because unyaffs chokes on the factoryfs.img extracted from the stock firmware tar...
Thanks for the link by the way, but it goes to the calendarprovider.apk - I still have that one installed!
I actually need the calendar.apk and the calendar.odex

I managed to resolve this - I was able to extract the original APKs and ODEX files from the factoryfs.img file using the procedure described here:

Accidentally removed calendar app on rooted S2
Hi JJegan,
I've owned S2 for 5 days and I'm very new to Android.
Since I purchased Business Callendar I removed the one originally installed on S2.. (3 files: Calendar 1.0, 1.1 and Callendar application data)
before deletion I backed it up with Titanium...
After rebooting the business calendar didn't see any calendars so I tried to restore with Titanium and it failed...
After some internet browsing I downloaded the calendar.apk and tried to install it (using files explorer) but it is not working..
Do you know if there's a way to restore/reinstall the original S2 calendar app? I didn't know that this app i key to synch to google account for calendar items...
hour help would be greatly appreciated
cheers!

didn't work for me, but thanks anyway.
wonder if ever they will provide stock calendar to other devices. i.e. splanner/s3 to nexus, or s2 to nexus.
it would be a bliss.

Hi, I have a similar problem with my LG L70 with Android 4.4.2. I have been using Jorte calendar for a long time but recently it started to give a message "The callendar has stopped". So I decided to try another calendars (aCalendar and SolCalendar) but during experimenting (I could not add a new event in any of those calendars) and googling information I realised that the problem lies deeper - in corrupted Calendar.apk or/and CalendarStorage.apk.
So I tried some methods of restoring those system apps and I had a partial success - I can add new events but the error message still appears (when working in a calendar or "randomly" in other appliccations). According the thread: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...-calendar-storage-google-calendar-not-working) I am afraid I have to do a factory reset. But it is a long time I rooted my phone so I do not remember if the factory reset will cancel rooting or not.
I would prefer avoiding factory reset but I am afraid I cannot. Can you give me an advice or a useful link please?

Stock (non touchwiz) 3.1 email app / apk?

Does anyone have the NON touchwiz email app and widget? I HATE the touchwiz look for this particular app and widget. I have searched but have been unable to find anywhere it has been posted. Thanks!
I completely agree. I did the TouchWiz update this morning and I can not stand the gigantic look of everything.
Am on the same page with u guys ... its blindwiz
i also need that email.apk!!!
Only changing the apk doesn't work.... Someone got an idea? Maybe a dev?

Think I might check this out, looks clean. However, are you required to install K9, or will the paid widget work with the stock email and gmail clients?
Has anyone found a way to revert back to the stock email app (Non- TW)
Thanks...
I completely agree! Do we know of anyone working on this? It hurts to use the Samsung version.. Will try k9
Working Solution
Hi Guys (and Ladies of course),
I extracted the stock HC 3.1 e-mail app out of the Acer Iconia Taboonay 1.1 custom rom.
And the best thing is that it is working on my GT-P7500.
Your tab needs to be rooted and the system partition must be mounted as R/W
I used ES File Explorer for the file operations. Any file manager which can get root access and mount the system partition as RW should do either.
Go to the directory /System/App and make a backup of following files (for your own safety):
email.apk
email.odex
exchange.apk
exchange.odex
After backing up you can delete them from /System/App or move them wherever you like
Now copy the files attached in this post to the /System/App directory, reboot your tab and enjoy the stock HC 3.1. email app (including the widget).

I had to clear data and cache for both Exchange Services and Email - but all worked nicely. Many thanks.
I'm on a Tab 8.9 WiFi, incidentally.
Would someone mind posting screenshots of the Samsung email app? I've read in a number of threads about how it sucks, but haven't seen and am curious. Thanks!

I found apk files, but I can't find odex files (I have rooted SGT 10.1 7500)?
Thanx
If you don`t find you might have a deodexed Rom -> you won`t find the odex files.
Imho you could try to proceed without the odex files - but at your own risk!

[Q] Deleted mms.apk , now have problem with other sms apps

Accidentally i deleted my mms.apk file,now i'm triying to use chomp and go sms but i got a problem on both. some turkish characters seems different on other phones,for ex if i sent i message to my father " kıl " it seems like " kgl " . I was solved this problem in stock app with changing sending method to "multi language".
So what can i do now ? Can i or you edit these sms apps (chomp is the best for me) . What should i do ? Im using galaxy gio and my android version is 2.3.4.
Thank you for your help. Sorry for bad english and stupid questions
I've read elsewhere the the stock SMS apk is necessary for replacement messaging apps to work properly. Why not simply restore the sms.apk?

Hi! I know that you are asking for stock mail app but, why don't you give K9-mail a try?

Thanks for the suggestion but K9 Mail Does not work with MS Exchange account, also there is no option to disable the Pin code request.
So K9 Mail is useless for me

for MS exchange, try Touchdown. it is good with the usual slew of bells and whistle for a typical push mail app. I disabled my push as i prefer manual syncs.
Thanks for the proosal, but I tried the different applications, and the one that work for me is Stock mail.
Does anyone have the standard Email.apk and Email.odex that came with the phone? Titanium Backup messed up mine.

done and done.
Thanks happily for your help.
I replaced both files, with the appropriate permission, on my phone and rebooted but still I can't recover my mail
Any idea on how to recover my stock mail?

you can try to download the rom you are using and extract it from there in windows, to extract img files, you can try unyaffs.exe (sorry i don't have a link) or magicIso, i did that before to restore the sns contacts and dlna

[REQ] AOSP ICS Email.apk

Hey guys! I'm looking for a download of the AOSP ICS Email application to install as a replacement for HTC's mail app on my unrooted HTC Sensation. I tried searching XDA, but all I could find were flashable zips to fix the system app. I'm specifically looking for a regular APK that I can install without root. Anyone who can help me out?
Reason (optional reading): the ICS update that HTC pushed out contains an Exchange ActiveSync related bug that causes the phone to "forget" the sync shedule, and only plain text is supported. These things were working properly on Gingerbread, so how this got past QA is beyond me.
Here you go.
Make sure you delete the original email.apk and exchange.apk from system/app.
Place these two files in there with root explorer or similar.
Reboot. You may get some force closes (I do). Go to system menu and applications and delete data from email and exchange.
Open email and input your info.
Edit: You will need root to replace the files.
Oh well, I guess it was about time I rooted.
Thanks for the files, I'll let you know how it goes!
Hi
is there an 'official' website where we can download the latest version of the ICS AOSP email & exchange apk? and maybe also the other AOSP apk?
I'm looking for the version that will work with AWLPG
Thanks a lot
BenG
got it now
Enhanced email from the market is what you want if you do not want to root.

Does Enhanced Email solve the connection errors which came in with the ICS AOSP version?
I have a rooted Verizon SIII and it worked for me.
thank you.
Thanks !! I was looking for this since the Email.apk bundled in Galaxy S3 is atrocious ....

No unless you rebuild the apk to Samsung specifications not stock Google specifications .
You could have a look for the SMS apps in Themes that have been modified .
