How to re-install Calendar.apk

---

Hey everyone,

I've just done something stupid.. I wanted to install the old (G1) Calendar app on my Hero (I think the old app is better, faster etc.). So in order to do that I first deleted CalendarProvider.apk (and .odex) and Calendar.apk (and .odex) from /system/app

So after that brilliant step, I found out the old calendar won't install.. and now I found out the original (backuped) apk's won't install either.

I tried adb push to /system/app, which works, but doesn't give me a working calendar.

What to do?

Are the permissions the same as other files?

gecka, what do you mean exactly?

I have been able to rm and adb push, but adb install didn't work..

can you upload the calendar???

Sure, you can find the files here:

http://theroman.nl/CalendarProvider.apk
http://theroman.nl/Calendar.apk

Try adb shell, then "ls -lah" in app dir, that will show you file permissions.
Just an idea.

Hmm.. I get this:


And this is the adb pushed Calendar.apk

So I think I have all necessary permissions, but how to make it work

Calendar.apk should be own by root as other .apk, I suppose.

As you can see it is own by "shell". Not sure on own to change that, you should be root to do a

chown root:root Calendar.apk

If you have rooted your phone try su to become root

I did the chown, but it won't take root:root, so I did:

chown root Calendar.apk .. which gives:



Unfortunately it doesn't work, but I did get the owner to root.. any other idea's? Thanks for thinking with me!

[Edit] I rebooted into Recovery and tried to install, got another error message:

Did you push the odex too? You need both...
