Ooops. I uninstalled a system program by mistake using Titanium backup - "Accounts and synch settinngs". In order to fix it, I extracted the apk file from the system Captivate ROM, put it it back on my Captivate but am unable to install it. It says "install unsuccesful". Anybody know a trick to get that program back on my Captivate or do I have to flash again?

How did you pull the APK out of the ROM?

As for installing, did you enable sideloading?

Yes, sideloading is enabled. There is a link on this forum to the System ROM for Captivate. Just unrar it and you find the system apps in the "apps folder"
Thanks,

I unzipped some other roms and didn't find the whole OS ..... just a big BIN file. I guess that is the difference between flashing a ROM/PIT versus the one click restore.
