I recently rooted my Samsung Exhibit II. and was going through and deleting some bloatware and accidentally fat fingered and deleted the MediaScannerService not realizing what I was deleting. Does anyone no how to reinstall the service? I have tried downloading applications but they are just accessing the service and restarting it. Since the service has been deleted the applications essentially do nothing.

you will need to pull it out of a ROM for your device (might be able to use 'non-device specific' version but I would use the same to "be safe" then copy it on to the device. The other option is to reflash the stock ROM (if you have it available from somewhere). - Always Nandroid Backup before making changes, or use titanium backup and Freeze first to "test" for issues. – Ryan Conrad Aug 10 '12 at 20:54
+1 for the Freeze recommendation! It's the first thing I always recommend in such cases, as its reversion is much easier than a re-install. Having a backup before removing stuff should be that obvious -- though many users seem to forget this most important step. First thing after rooting is installing a custom recovery and doing a Nandroid backup. – Izzy Aug 10 '12 at 21:16
