[Q] Google Book App Broken after rooting Xoom WiFi

---

I followed the instructions posted in and successfully Rooted and updated the Kernel on my WiFi Xoom. but today when showing it to a co worker we found out the google books app wasn't functioning.

I tried replacing it from the market by logging into the web page after the market app would not find it and it will not let me put it on the Xoom. I then downloaded the WiFi dump that was made hoping to sideload the app and it says it's already installed. i tried uninstalling and it says it failed to uninstall.

So would anyone have any other ideas in getting the app reinstalled?

get root explorer, delete books from system/apps

Then use root explorer to place books from the dump zip into system/app
Once placed, check the permissions and make sure they are the same as the rest of the apps. Reboot

Didn't see your post in time i ended up doing a wipe and reinstall.

I have this problem also...is there another way to do it without root explorer? sftp or ssh?

Yes bigworm, there are other apps out there that allow you to drill down into the system partition (not sftp) as long as you have you root you can use most types of terminal or files system tools.
