Hi guys,
I just recently bought a HTC Desire HD and have been enjoying it very much.... I have rooted and S-off, but have yet to install recovery clockwork ....
That aside, yesterday I started moving some stock app files to a folder on the sd card (so I can remove it from my phone, plus back it up just in case) with root explorer (r/w mounted), I didn't move the HtcLocationService.apk. All went ok...
But just this morning I noticed my locations icon on my phone's interface has turned into the green android image...meaning the program is gone! It cannot be found in my programs at all.
I have tried to do the "reinstall locations" in the settings, but it says "unable to find an activity to handle this action", and I've tried to go straight to the HtcLocationService.apk to install it (not even sure if it is the right application) and it says "application not installed".
I am really stumped, and would like Locations back on my DHD!!
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance
What stock apps did you uninstall? Some apps are bound to eachother. Locations is probably bound to navigation or footprints or maybe another app. So if you uninstalled that, that could be the cause.
If it's really gone, then probably the only way to reinstall it is installing the stock ROM again (or a custom one). You probably can't install it again because locations needs some other stock app (if my hypothesis are right).
I took out stuff like friendstream, Plurk, Twitter, FieldTest, Flickr, HTC_IME, EasyCard, Laputa, KKBOX, plus phone provider apps (since I'm with TaiwanMobile, myfone) so TWM_City/Market/Movie/Music etc....
I've since moved the files back into system>apps, but it hasn't changed anything....is there any possibility I could get Locations back???
I can't think of an idea to reinstall Locations that easy. You can just install the official ROM again. You don't even have to be rooted then.
Have a look at this thread. If you deleted .apk files of the 2 lowest lists, then you could try to reinstall them first. Otherwise I don't know. maybe someone else.
I would have reinstalled the official ROM again. Just to make sure everything works correctly again. (and then start over removing apps :') ).
But maybe someone else knows a better solution
Thanks for you quick reply!
Can you point me to a thread that would explain the process of installing an official rom (where i would download the rom, etc)? Plus is there a way I can back up all my games, apps and settings, so I don't have to reinstall every app and game again?
would a Factory reset help? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm hoping I get this resolved
First of all: I found this thead for installing system .apk's. Maybe that can help. But it seems pretty comlicated .

A factory reset should restore everything, (ofcourse I was tthinking to complicated :') ).
All apps you installed from the market will be reinstalled if you login with you google account again. It can take a while. It also remembers wich apps you bought. It won't however save any data (like saves for games).
For other apps (and all apps if you want to backup the data), you could download titanium backup (also available in the market). Keep in mind though that for restoring any backups made with this app, you need root acces again.
The facotry reset will remove your personal data. Only your sdcard and simcard will keep their info.
I hope all is clear what I told . So no ROM download needed. :')
Let us know if it has worked
Hey again,
I just factory reset my phone, using settings. Locations has not been restored , also some gadgets was not working (may be the widgets I have removed before). The front page weather animation is gone! Only the time left...(how would I get that back?)
Any other suggestions will be appreciated!
go to locations in settings... u will find a tab "reinstall locaton" make sure u r on wifi...and it will install it back...it happnd with me and got it back instantly
Hi all,
2 questions:
1) How do you delete the 2 free books - White Fang and Adv Of Mark Twain? I deleted them on Lumiread UI and they come back. I deleted the files directly and they come back again! What am I missing here?
2) There are 3 locked folders for book folders from /mnt/sdcard/LumiBooks|Digital Editions|Download. How do I get rid of them?
Thanks!
i really want those books gone too....
I am not sure but I am going to take a guess here. Maybe you need to root your device and using a file browser, change the properties of those 3 files to r/w so you can have full control over them. Hope this can help buddy, I am not really an expert on this area, maybe someone else has a better solution.
Actually, its just keep restoring them rooted or not.

yeah. im rooted, checked and they both say rw.
try deleting them in the app and in file manager. they still restore somehow
They are burned into the Rom
Right, I'm rooted as well and everytime I delete them, they come right back!
Very annoying.
Yeah... I did something pretty dumb.
I just got Titanium Backup, and read about that the status bar is messing with WiFi tether, so instead of freezing it like the thing said I wanted to see what would happen if I pressed convert to user app. I can't find it anymore, and the status bar is gone.
So heres what I'm wondering. To get it working again would I need to make a backup in Titanium Backup (without "seeing" what other buttons do) then flash back to Froyo, and reupgrade then reapply the root? Or what I'm hoping, will it be as easy as taking another DX's systemUI.apk and putting it into /system/apps through root explorer?
Currently on DROID X Gingerbread .605 rooted. Haven't done anything crazy or something to it, other than deleting the status bar...

I have the same problem, but i did it when trying to change dpi on Acer Iconia b1-710 where it can do very bad things..
I think that just SystemUI backup in Titanium Backup can help, i searched on the internet, but nobody wants to help
I have locked bootloader.
Now i a using home and back buttons as Tasker scene and notifications with Super Status Bar and low battery warning is Tasker scene too.. and i can't connect device to PC bcs it is part of SystemUI too, the question if i want to connect it to pc.
And somebody has told me that just putting SystemUI.apk into system/app or where it is, should help, after reboot, but it didn't work :/
Hey all. I have a Droid X that has been running with Launcher Pro Plus for the past few months.
I rooted my phone the other day and everything was going fine. I downloaded Titanium Backup, ShootMe, and then Metamorph.
I've been checking out droidpirate.com and downloaded a few different notification bar color schemes, which were working fine. Today I downloaded another and decided I wanted to change it, so I switched to a new one through Metamorph, applied it, and rebooted my phone. Upon restart it was still the same color as before, so I applied again and before I could restart it gave me an error message that the status/notification bar (not sure which it said at the time) had crashed.
I restarted it, and ever since then I've had no notification bar. I've tried reapplying the color schemes in Metamorph and restarting after, but nothing has changed.
I've gone to the Launcher Pro settings and toggled on and off the "hide notification bar" setting which hasn't changed anything. I've restored my backup in Titanium Backup and it is still the same. I'm not sure what else to do at this point.
What do you all suggest? It really sucks to not see my battery meter, time, etc. when I open my phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't know if this is best practice, but I would just re-sbf / reinstall rom.

Does that mean flashing the Droid X rom? I am new to all of this, so I'm sorry if these are stupid questions. And what guide would you recommend for going about doing this? Thanks!
Download RSD Lite and flash an SBF. There's a sticky telling you how to do this I'll subscribe to this thread in case you have any questions.
Great, thanks for the info! I'll give this a try tomorrow.
Wait!
Before you do that...
(Which is good advice, and would be my second choice...but you'll be without all of your applications and settings. This will put you on complete stock!)
http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/4.5.602/
Download the file that this theme was changing.
(system/framework/framework-res.apk I think?)
Download "Root Explorer" from the market...or a free alternative if you can get one to work.
I think "ES file explorer" works, but I've never tried it.
Check the "permissions" on the file you'll be replacing...and change the new file to have the same permissions (prior to moving, just to be safe).
Move and replace the new file into place.
If your phone didn't reboot during that process...
Double check the permissions again...
And reboot.
I knew it was only a matter of time, and that's a good resolve. Thanks for the alternative!

I'm not seeing that file on the website you mentioned. If I ctrl+f framework, all I see is a GoogleServicesFramework.apk file. Would it perhaps be the StatusWidget.apk from that list that I am looking for?
Status widget doesn't sound right, but I have never had to recover my notifications bar before.

Sorry man, at work...and can't check...but this should have it.
Or if you've purchased Rom Toolbox or Rom Manager...they have some .zips you can download via your phone and extract with your PC.
Ahh this is all confusing me. I can't find the framework-res.apk on that site either. Would it work to just hard reset my phone then download an app restore app? Then re-root it and restore everything to how it used to be with Titanium?
The framework-res.apk was an attempt to fix your phone without wiping your apps and all that fun stuff. A hard reset wouldn't fix the problem because the file, in theory, is still corrupted or not working. I would sbf your phone. It looks creepy but it's just resetting back to stock.

Go down to SBF: What is it, and what does it do?!?
If the files are offline because of the SOPAA thing, let me know.
Alright, looks like that's what I'm gonna try. Thanks to both of you for all the help, it is greatly appreciated . Before I go through with it I was just wondering, if I backup all my apps to my SD card with "App Backup and Restore" then reinstall the app after the backup, I'm guessing it should be able to reinstall my apps from the SD afterwards? (I wouldn't use Titanium to restore because I'm assuming that would restore my phone with the flawed system data I have now)
The apps themselves wont be flawed. The phone runs off a whole bunch of apk's. Just the apk that controls the notification bar was messed up. You should be fine with backing up your apps regardless of method. Use what program you're comfortable with.

Agreed...
But to reiterate...
Titanium won't bork you in any way.
Simply use the option>batch>restore USER apps option and you'll be %100 back to where you were...aside from having to change your settings back to where you had them...
Also...
Facebook and any "Overclocking" applications seem to behave badly when restored.
Not in a negative way...
But I always uninstall them after a restore and install manually through the market...
Facebook won't receive push notifications if you don't.
And Overclock apps simply may not work.
Everything else (game data...whatever) will be exactly as you had it.
Check my sig if you need...
And use the sections about backing up and restoring your data.
Ignore the actual rom flashing part...as it's irrelevant in your situation.
There is also another SBF link in there if the one Fluffy posted is dead.
So I downloaded the latest RSD lite with no problems, but whenever I try to download the "Droid X 4.5.602 SBF Gingerbread 2.3.3" file, it leads me to http://www.multiupload.com/57SX6Q5HJI which lists the file as 602.sbf.zip but downloads as a program called "iLivid", which is a video downloading program.
Any suggestions?
Different Mirror?

Figures, thanks a bunch. I tried the download links from two different forums and both led to that same program download, but it looks like I've got the right one downloading now. Thanks again for all the help, I'm going to try the whole restoration process this weekend when I have more time. I'll let you know how it goes.

So I am debloating an MF3 ROM and noticed one thing which I can't find an answer to.
There are three APK files which I am not sure what they do and wanted to know if anyone had any insight what they do and if they can be deleted.
KeyguardBackupRestore.apk
KeyguardWidget.apk
ELMAgent.apk
I've looked and noticed those files are on a few debloating lists, but I can't find what they actually do. I'd hate to delete them and find out they were more important that I suspected.
You can go into the APP manager in the phone and disable them. ELMAgent will auto restart after you stop it, but the Keyguard will stay OFF when you stop the process.
Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.
Just freeze them for now. You can always delete later on once you are positive there are no adverse affects, but it's not necessary

Have you made a nandroid? Before you started deleting things. Also try system app remover, it'll let you know what's safe and not safe.
You fight, for the guy fighting next to you.

Well I'm actually working with the ZIP archive of the MF3 firmware which is already rooted, so I can delete or add files and just reflash.
I find freezing apps a waste of time. If I know I don't need them, I delete them from the ROM files before I flash it in recovery. I don't make backups either since It only takes me about 15 minutes to re-download and reset up the phone after re-flashing.
So as it stands, I am working on trimming down a few more files before I reflash a new revision of the ROM I am working on, and I think those are the last 3 files I need an explanation on before I delete them,
Like I said, those files are on almost all the debloat lists that are floating around for the GS4, unfortunately they just don't say that those files are.
Thanks for the reply's guys.
