Default [Q] [HELP] restoring System Apps...

Hello guys....


I've accidentally backuped and removed my stock ClockPackage.apk from my i8150...

I've tried to restore by the same app, but did not working.

I've also tried to copy back the original Apk (i've it in backup folder of Rom Toolbox), tried to install...but still nothing.

The odex file it is also still there...

So, for now i've just installed an alternative clock/alarm from market, and it is working (but have Ads!), but...there is a method to have back Clock app in app drawer?

PS:
And, pls... do not say "have you a nandroid backup"? :P
Yes, i Have, but i just want to know if there is a method to restore the app in few steps :P

[SOLVED]


Ok... solved, also if i do not know exactly how :P

For future references...

I had already bring the apk back to system/app, where is located also the odex file.
Nothing was happened, also after restart...

Then, i tried to install the clockpackage.apk from the AOSP gingerbread, and it gave me the same error (App not installed).

But, like in a miracle, after this, app is back to the app drawer :P

Happy ending!

Great thread spino1970, mostly because I made the same mistake you did, lol...
Now I really need your help... Could you kindly attach the ClockPackage.apk and the odex file in this thread so that I can use it too??? Thanks a lot man!!! I was trying to get rid of those useless widgets and made a mistake...

[Update]

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?
Samsung Galaxy W - GT-I8150B
Modded Stock ROM → I8150BVJLM2
• Root
• 32GB Class 10 SDHC with Internal/External SD Swap
• ClockworkMod v6.0.2.7
• Kernel XXLM8
