Reinstall 3G Mobile Hotspot

[jack22182]

I rooted, wiped and installed the Supah Clean DL09 .4 ROM. I did a Titanium Backup before I started, and when necessary, I've been restoring a few things here and there. So far so good.

Today I needed to use the 3G Mobile Hotspot, and duh, it's not there. When I found it in Titanium Backup I found no option to restore it.

I downloaded a Fascinate system dump and found MobileAP.apk and MobileAP.odex in the /fascinate/app directory. Is fixing this as simple as moving both to the /system/app directory?

Any idea why Titanium Backup didn't back this app up?

Thanks!

Thanks. I considered trying this. Money is not an issue since work pays for it, so I'd still be interested in finding out if this can be done.

If that's the apk it might work...i pulled need for speed and think free office from the system dump a while ago, they work fine. You don't need the odex. You can just put the apk on your SD and click on it, Root Explorer should install it

Thanks - I tried the above and everything went fine until I OK'd the app permissions, then I got an "Application not installed" error with no other explanation.

I'm not really sure, probably that app is more tightly bound to the stock Verizon ROM than the stuff I reinstalled

Might try rebooting if you haven't already. Or maybe it does need to go on system/app and not data/app. No idea

Thanks again for your help. I ended up using ROM Manager to get it from the sonofskywalker set of stock apps and that worked great. I appreciate your suggestions though!

RM would put it into the system folder, so I guess it did need to go there

Who told you Barnacle won't work? I'm pretty sure I don't have the hotspot, my Barnacle is fine

That's exactly what I did to get it back and it worked fine here. I only started the rooting and the flashing three days ago and stumbled on this method from reading posts, so I'm not going to be of much assistance I'm afraid.

I had barnacle installed, and it wouldn't work at all, I downloaded Samsung drivers, Odin, and cement recovery, went through the process to download into phone, downloaded hotspots app from sonofskywalker and got it reinstalled, now barnacle works except for the widget, idle y not though. This was my first time using Odin, I rooted with z4root, but I think I'm gonna root with Odin instead is there any reason it would be better or not? I've only been playing with my phone for about a month learning my way around its a blast, and thanx to all here on androidcentral and xda for the threads posts and replies, you all make it a little simpler for us noobs
