I recently rooted my lucid 2, and like the title says I accidentally deleted the smart share app. Does anyone know how I can get it back?

I would think that you would need to return to stock,This way you get Smart Share back.
Here's how: Official Stock LG Lucid 2 VS870 Firmware / Rom - LG Cell Phones Blog
Is it possible for someone who is also rooted (stock rom I presume?), pull the apk and send it to him?
I was just thinking the same thing.He could sideload it with adb shell.

Yeah it would be nice if someone had the apk.

Im really trying hard not to be a dick. But if you downloaded lucidian or grabbed the system dump from here you would have had smartshare quite easily.
Regardless of that, here is smartshare anyways. put it in /system/app and reboot. if it still doesnt work wipe dalvik cache, make sure there are good permissions on the apk (chmod 777), and reboot again.
Profit! Cause i dont have a clue what it even does haha.
EDIT: extra link if gdrive doesnt work for you

i didnt know you could adb install a system app. learn something new everyday i guess.
Yes you can,I had to sideload my launcher after I deleted it because I was using Holo Launcher Pro.Then I had to do a factory reset and boom,No Launcher.All you need are the commands to push the apk..

I had that happen to me once. How did you get adb to turn on?

well I had no luck getting the app back any other suggestions?
lgrootnoob's suggestion did not work? That would be the way I know how as I'm not familiar with adb.
His suggestion and adb would be the only ways to get the apk back.
Did you move the apk to /system/app, change permissions (to match the other apk's there), then reboot?
If so, what file manager did you use?

Oh damn, i forgot to reboot it worked. although I just noticed every time I try and open the app it says unfortunately smart share has stopped.

what method did you use to put it back?
is it actually in /system/app now?
did you run into any errors while trying to put it back?
if you have trouble with permission denied errors use
Code:
su -c busybox mount -o remount,rw /systemlgrootnoob

im guessing you didnt set permissions on it like on the other apks in /system/app
you might also need to remove the /data/data folder that goes along with smartshare.
get me a logcat and wipe dalvik cache too

All i did was was move the apk into /system/app and reboot.

You can't just move it,It won't work.It has to be installed through adb.Which in turn,You will use command prompt on windows os.

by that logic how do _any_ of the gapps packages actually work?

I did not know that this is my first rooted phone so I've never used "adb"
