Root Need some .apk's please!

[RentzM63B]

I incidentally deleted some files rather than just freezing or moving them, so I am requesting someone to copy and upload some stock Droid3 .apk files for me if possible. Here's all the files I need (I think) and if someone wants to post a link or email them let me know and I'll give you my email address.

Thanks in advance for any help. Please help.

I think that's all I've removed so far.

Thanks

If I recall correctly, someone tried putting .apk files from one D3 onto another, and the phone didn't recognize them for some reason.

That may have to do with permission changes. Here is a step-by-step method of changing the permissions on each newly installed file:

I'll gladly send you mine, but I need framework-res.apk in return. It's at /system/framework/framework-res.apk. I'll try to get them compressed and on MediaFire soon.

 

[RentzM63B]

Here's the framework-res.apk .

Thanks!

What's the name of voicemail? It isn't Voicemail and I couldn't track it down.

 

[redsox985]

The links took a while to upload and double posted. Can a mod delete this? Thanks

 

[RentzM63B]

Thank you VERY much.

 

[redsox985]

Not a problem. Thank you,too. Hopefully that framework file does the trick. That little triangle was bugging me.

 

[RentzM63B]

Um the voicemail file I have no idea. Is it visual voicemail or verizon visual voicemail? I'm not sure. But either way, now I only have one file to track down instead of 15.

 

[redsox985]

If I can find it I'll add a link here.

On a side note...IT WORKED! I had to re-add my Google account and restore my contacts, but I was contemplating a hard reset to fix this, so I had a backup made.

 

[RentzM63B]

Glad I could help.

 

[RentzM63B]

I do have another quesiton. I removed the games that came on the phone via app manager (just went in through the stock settings and clicked uninstall). Are these something that I should replace or does it not matter if they are removed? Talking about Let's Golf and Zune or whatever...

 

[redsox985]

I don't think so. I took those out as well. Since they were in the regular application list, I don't think it hurts to remove them since they wouldn't give the average user the ability to screw things up like that.

more than half of the links don't work

 

[redsox985]

These are probably all outdated anyways. I think they're pulled from 5.6.890 and odexed, unlike most ROMs. What are you trying to restore?

All the APKs listed except for DLNA.. I didn't touch that one.

Why don't you just freeze things or rename the extension to .bak? It keeps them in place, we have TONS of app storage, but doesn't let them run. I feel like you sometimes act too impulsively and take things too far, to the point you can't fix things.

I wanted the memory space on my phone. I dont care about seeing the apps in my list because i can hide them.... but i needed the memory since moving stuff to the Media Area is a problem when Google does updates.

Just as an FYI, any "bloatware" is stored in a different area from where apps that you install from the market. They are pre-stored in a partition on the phone called /system, while user apps that you install from the Play Store (or the Amazon App Store, or ones that you "sideload") are in /data.

It is true that if you install updates from the market to "bloatware", they will install in /data, and if you run the apps, the data for them is stored in /data. However, if you never run or update preinstalled apps, they do not take up any space from the area where you store user apps and data.

In short, deleting pre-installed apps just to get more space for your third party apps was not doing what you thought it was doing.
