Ok I was messing around this morning on my US Cellular Tab and decided I would try something. I Also have a Samsung galaxy s mesmerize so I pulled the phone.apk and phone.obex files from the mesmerize and then used root explorer and put them I'm system/app on the Tab.
It started force closing and I was finally able to delete the two files out of the system/app folder.
I then rebooted the Tab and now I can't connect to the network and it gives a force close when I first start the tab. Force close is com.hiddenmenu or something like that. (Goes by to fast)
Please please help.

Hello all!
I've deleted my phone.apk to make Galaxy Tab wifi-only (I don't have any cdma networks so it always trying to search the network and discharging battery).
Now it causes some error messages, but i forgot to make backup..
Could anyone upload his phone.apk? Pleease!
i've already found and restored this file now it's ok
Anywaym maybe someone knows how to disable "cell standby" process correctly?
I turned off data under mobile networks in wireless and then just to be safe turned on airplane mode and then turned on wifi.
Yep just keep the turn on button 2 secs

Hi Nobz,
I just wanted to ask you if you could help me, since you managed to restore the phone.apk app on your GTab.
I have rooted mine, installed CWM, Superuser and Terminal Emulator. I have then deleted many system apps but NOT the phone.apk
Suddenly one morning the GTab started showing a popup notice after ending every phone call reporting an error in com.android.phone process and the only option is to Force Close it.
After this the app restarts and I'm able to make and take phone calls, but the bluetooth earpiece does not connect anymore until I reboot the Tab.
Everything else works perfectly and the Tab is now flying with 259MB of free memory.
I even tried wiping everything and restore factory settings but no luck...
So, the questions are:
1. Is the phone.apk corrupted somehow or else?
2. Can I replace it with a new one (if so, how is it done and where can I find a new phone.apk app?)
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated...
Many thanks in advance.
I use a Defy with T-Mobile US Android 2.1. Everything worked fine until I started having problems with the stock browser. It starts fine, opens my home page. But when I select Bookmarks from the menu, I get a FC message "The application Browser (process.com.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
If I install Skyfire, I can view my bookmarks, so I guess the Bookmarks file is not corrupt.
Any ideas?
Please help, anyone? Is it file permissions problem? Is the Browser apk corrupt? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Finally found a solution. Using ADB shell, navigated to /data/data/com.android.browser and deleted all the files in that folder. All my bookmarks are gone, but at least now I can create new ones and access them.

I had the same problem.
I used a program to manage favorites, and I found one with a symbol.
I changed the name using only letters, and now everything works again.
flash android 2.2 it is better than 2.1
On March 23rd, 2013, my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 began to act differently. In a few days, most of the apps would not open. I would get an error message: "The application ________ (process com.android._______) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close" This "crash" happened with the Browser, email, Kindle apps. I did the factory reset. Did not help. I then did the root process: Got the download target screen, opened OOdin3, selected PDA, chose Quens_P100_EF17_Rooted_PDA and it successfully "passed". It did not solve the problem. I assume I must have a corrupted OS, but that is just an educated guess.
Anyone out there got a solution? Thanks. John
So I am trying to load a couple of apks I have and it's been no go. On my Epic I usually just dropbox, open, and install. I tried that and initially got the security message. That is already taken care of via nookcolor tools. So that isn't the issue. My issue is every time I go to install I go to Astro, open the file via the "open app manager," it takes me to the info install page...I click install and it loads into the package installer, excellent...and then it just stalls and the progress bar runs and runs but never progresses. This has happened with every apk I have now tried.
Okay...so I figured I'd just go the little more involved (very little, no need to be that lazy, right) route and adb install. Well carp. All goes well, I adb install blahblah.apk and it starts rolling..."570kb blah..etc pkg /blah/temp/blah"...and just hangs there...never to give me the gratifying "success" message. Again, I have tried this with different apks that I know work and the same results. I restored to stock and rerooted, just in case. Same
I am running stock rooted (manualnooter) at this point, just got the nook day before yesterday (one of the many who jumped at the refurbs). Market apps download fine. I'm a blue dot, if that makes any diff. Likely not but meh.
I have searched and googled and not found the answers...but I know I am missing something elementally simple. My luck I'll look like an idiot and it will be a "did you check to see if you had any gas?" broken down car scenario. I'm okay with that, as long as I'm running again. I'm pretty sure I checked all the out of gas scenarios but I likely missed one or two so... any help is much appreciated. Thanks a ton...
I should know better than trying to write before coffee
Well, My answer is not a "check gas" answer. It's pretty dang weird.
1. Download ES Explorer from the market.
2. Start ES Explorer, hit Menu>Settings. Goto Root Options (NEW) and tick both check boxes. Hit allow when it asks you to.
3. Go back twice, until you see your sd card contents. Find the APK on there and select and hold. Hit copy and then hit the 1st button on the row of buttons (it's an icon of an sd card OR a Home icon) If you see a data folder, go in to it. If not, hit the 1st button again.
3. Once in the data folder, go into the app folder. Pull up the little white tab on the bottom. Tap the APK you wanted to install. It will copy. Once you see the APK's icon in the folder, hit the home button and restart. That should have installed it but it is a slow method. Note that you can Multi-Select APK's by pressing the Multi-select button and pasting them all in the /data/app/ folder.
are you sure you have side loading checked
Settings > applications should be the top box.

I think he already took care of that. And he is on stock, so there is no Applications setting.
ikingblack, thank you, thank you!
Not sure why but by doing this it somehow unsnafued the package installer as well (fingers crossed). I went through your instructions with a known good apk that would not install for anything before. And there it was after the copy, paste reboot etc. Not too much to ask for...still was confused as to the why of the normal package installer method not working. So I decided to give it (package inst) a go with another known working apk (I had just tested it on my epic) that previously wouldn't install, repeatedly, and now it installed just like it should. Scratching my head in wonder. It shouldn't be the reboot, as I have do so many times...the only difference is the install instructions and adding ES (I'm leaving astro behind I think). All I know is it is working and I am a happy camper (tent is in the back yard...) Thanks again! cheers!
Sure. Also, you can select all the APK's using the 2-file icon at the top and tapping the APKs, then press-and hold on one of the APk's and then go to data app, and keep tapping the APK's you wanna copy. And then reboot. Enjoy your Nook!
Thanks for this, it fixed it, but I don't know why.
I suffered this issue on my dell streak.
It was working fine a couple of days ago when I installed GetJar.
Suddenly today for no reason I can determine:
All APK's I tried the install button in the package installer was not grayed out, but it would not respond when pressed.
I've just been setting up my streak again and installing a lot of software. I'm guessing something must of gone wrong.
Someone on another post suggested JuiceDefender may have caused it but I've not installed that recently.
In my case I did:
(1) Installed esFileExplorer
(2) Copied an apk to the folder /data/app/ as described above
(3) restarted the phone
This did not install the app for me.
(4) Tried running the apk file again. Suddenly the Install button is clickable again?! The app then installed just fine.
(5) Tried a different apk (without copying to /data/app/)
Now that will install fine?!
This is really weird. I can't replicate the issue now (which is good!)
but I also can't tell which action fixed it.
As said above it may have been installing esfileexplorer and giving it root access.
It may have been the act of copying the file that reset something.
It wasn't the reboot, at lease not on its own as i'd already tried it.
Regardless, thanks for the info.
If anyone sees this issue again you might want to just try installing esfileexplorer and see if apk's will then install.
This might help us identify which bit of the process is creating the fix.
Just found another suggestion if anyone is interested:
Some suggests using the 'Fix permissions' option of Titanium Backup. I have no way to test this.
I have 2 Galaxy S4 phones, one is the Active and one is standard S4. I use the Active on another line and switch sims when I want to use it on my main line, usually when I go boating or outdoors.
The standard S4 is rooted and has Cleanrom on it. The S4 Active is stock with the stock apps but is also rooted with the stock Rom. There are 2 Apps that I want to add to my standard S4 and I have tried to move them over but they seem to fail to install.
The 2 apps im trying to move are Optical Read and S Memo which are Samsung only apps meaning they come stock on the phone and you cannot download them from the play store. I used an app called APK Share and backup which seemed to do a good job of backing up both apps. I then transferred them over from one phone to the next and tried to install them. Both apps seem to be a complete APK file and when I go to install them they go all the way through the installation process and right at the end all it says is "App not installed"
I also tried using Titanium backup which failed as well. It gets all the way to installing the app on the phone and then freezes and does nothing. I thought for sure Titanium backup would work but no go.
S memo is the one I really want to have installed since I use a Note 8.0 to take all my business notes on which I would like to view on my Rooted Galaxy S4.
Anyone have any idea why these apps wont install or any other ideas I might try to move these apps over. It seems like it should be a pretty simple process since they are both Galaxy S4s but I guess not.
Did you try and fix permissions on the s4 in your recovery after you copied the apps. I'm assuming you took the apk from the active and copied into /system/app on the s4.

That I did not do. I will have to learn how to do that. I will try and search for it on google. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello,
I am trying to find out if anyone has had the same problem, I flashed a new version of a rom and update, then installed a nandroid backup and seemingly everything came up- texts, recent calls etc. but after a while a I noticed two things were missing my voicemail app- Verizon and the 'Here and Now' from My Magazine. Does anyone know the version that is supopsed to be on the phone currently with KK? I found a visual voicemail app which only seems to be a plain Verizon voicemail app. When I click on the icon to launch it, it starts but hangs saying "Please wait while we check your account information" then after a couple of minutes it stops saying, "Sorry w'ere having trouble setting up your service. Please try again later. If you still can't set it up, contact customer service at 800-922-0204 and tell the operator the error code is 9009". Obviously, I don't want to be assisted by Verizon and then have them say "i see your phone is unlocked and we can't help you" Anyway, the version voicemail that I installed is 3.0.4 and it is 11.80 mb. I tried to find it on 'Root Explorer' but can't seem to find it but obviously it's there, I just don't know how to find it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Try using root explorer to push the app in instead of installing it. Copy voice-mail apk to your SD card. Then use root explorer to copy the apk to your system/app folder on your phone. Then long press the apk to bring up a menu, go to permissions. You will get a 3x3 pop-up box. First row check the first two boxes on the next two rows check only the first box. Reboot your phone and see if that clears it up.
