Hi guys. I have installed JPX and while using SGSTOOLS to clear the battery script, I've accidentally deleted it (I've pressed the option a bit too long instead of clicking it, and carelessly hit delete). Now the clear battery script is gone and it's not there even after reinstalling SGSTOOLS. Now the questions are:
1.) Is there any adverse effect of having this removed? I've noticed that some of my widgets on my homescreen were gone and had to reload them.
2.) Is there a way to restore the battery script aside from doing a factory reset?
Thanks!

Try it this way:
Uninstall SGS tools
Mount your sd card and delete the sgstools folder
reinstall SGS tools.
Done it, now there's nothing on the apply script option. Checked the sgstools folder in sd card, it's empty.

Ok, here is whats in my folder:
Pretty sure this is all you will need. Hope that helps...
That's all I need indeed! Downloaded the files and moved to sgstools folder. All working now, sweet! Thanks very much mate.

Anyone with triple image problem could try this :
1. Using root explorer and goto /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media
2. Move all external-something.db to another folder on sdcard (just in case something goes wrong).
3. Reboot the phone.
4. After reboot it will scan for all media files and make a new external.db file.
Btw, I am using gallery.apk from jpd rom.
I don't know if it works on gallery3d from the market.
Please let me know if it works too.

Yeah it does work but it comes back too often.
Just curious, do you delete .thumbnail folder inside DCIM both on sdcard and external_sd before reboot?
On my sgs, it doesn't come back again even after several reboot.

Works on jpa, I had double images in gallery.
What do you mean by triple image?? Repeat images perhaps??
Another thing that works is
0. kill gallery with task manager
1. connect phone back to PC mount SD cards , then delete jpgs from DCIM\thumbs.. don't delete folders itself.
2. unmount properly , first from phone itself then from pc side.
3. unplug cable
4. profit.
Maybe some steps can be changed i am to lazy to experiment.
thx for the hints.
it works on my phone (Doc Froyo XWJPA v7.6.2 / XXJPO v7.6.2)
first i removed only the content from DCIM\.thumbs.. but i didn't solve the problem.
then i do the steps from s3xkiller and it works
You're welcome.
Glad I can help.

I installed JM6 (the 'old' way) and my phone is Rooted via SuperOneClick.
How can I remove standard installed applications (eg. Ereader, Calculator etc) and how can I see which applications/services are running and how can I remove unwanted services running in the background?
Get Root explorer from the market. Can delete apps with it but be careful you dont delete anything you shouldnt.

Can you tell me how Root Explorer works? (how to delete apps/services, how to see which are running)
You delete apps from Data/apps or system/apps. Most apps are named so youll recognise them. Delete the .odex and .apk

And where do I find which services/application are running (after booting) and where do I disable/enable them?
DO NOT DELETE ! (move to internal or external SD card, just in case you need to restore)

I'm a recent convert to Titanium Backup. In the pro version you can "freeze" processes. I'm not exactly sure, but what I think it does is close the process and copy the app to a cache folder.it's no longer running and it doesn't show up in the launcher. All you have to do is unfreeze it to bring it back.
How has Titanium Backup performed for you? Have you noticed any adverse affects from its use? I am looking to lock down the Galaxay tablet for use in one of our departments. Titanium Backup seems to be the way to go. I assume you need to root the device in order to use it?

Second that. Leave them where they are and just rename the apk to apkx.
When you reboot they will be gone, but can be easliy restored by removing the 'x'
Be warned though, if you remove the wrong app's you can get stuck in all sorts of 'force close hell'
Not then end of the world though and is a safer method of playing with your android devices.
Root explorer and ADB are your friends
I've found Titanium Backup does the trick using the freeze option. Very handy should you want to get an app back again. As said, be very careful deleting something, or at least make a copy on your sdcard just in case .
Oh and make sure USB Development is ticked just in case the only way back in is via an adb shell!
My phone's unlocked/rooted.
Stupidly, to free up some space in Dropbox, I deleted some Titanium Backups and at some point, while moving files around, I deleted BlurCamera.apk while in Titanium Backup - basically unistalled it instead of freezing it... and guess what, no backup to restore from.
I'm stock and use other apps for video recording / picture taking but would like to revert back. I've tried a few different scenarios and after rebooting each time - no luck.
In layman's terms, what else can I do try. I've already downloaded the stock .apk and .odex files but so far, nada.
Any help, greatly appreciated.
I have attached it for you to this post. Good Luck!
Thank you! besides changing the permissions, is there anything else that I should do? Keep in mind I'm not replacing the application because I inadvertently deleted it through titanium backup instead of freezing it

Just copy them to /system/app then change the permissions same as the rest of the .apks in the same folder. As a good measure delete /data/dalvik-cache folder's content and shut down the phone. Then go to Android Recovery and wipe the cache and then restart the system. Next boot would take much longer, be patient pls.
Good Luck!
Okay, this is the 2nd time this has happened.....my phone.apk has disappeared from my phone, EC09.
Last time I just blew everything up and started over. This time I refuse to do that. I'm using Dialer One, so at the moment, things are not urgent. But I do want my touchwiz dialer back.
I've backed up the app with Titanium Backup on a previous nandroid backup, and it will not restore the phone app on my current ROM. I've also tried using ADB and the install command, and I get a "install parse failed no certificates" error message.
Anyone have a way to solve this problem for me?
UPDATE: I found a valid backup from TiBu that worked for me and another user. Download this zip, unzip the files into your Titanium Backup folder on your SD card. Scroll through the apps/backups in TiBu until you find [Voicemail] Dialer 2.2.2, restore app+data. Should be good to go!
Download Dialer Tab Titanium Backup files
This seems to be a common thing happening on this phone. This also happened to me when i was running complete stock no root a while back and I had to do a hard reset to get it back. I don't know what the apks issue is but its happening to a lot of people and so far the only way to get it back that I know of is to do a hard reset.
I also lost dialer on EC09 awhile back, gave up trying to fix. Just have also just been using Dialer 1. Odd thing with it though is I had to dial 911 and it wouldn't let me, every time inputted numbers it would bring up my contacts and wouldn't let me dial it.

Well I guess it's mildly comforting to know I'm not alone with this problem. I know there must be a way to get the dialer back without a hard reset. I just got tired/overwhelmed of researching exactly how Android handles apk's and how ADB works.
I have the apk. I just haven't been able to get it on my phone properly.
Well, the problem has been solved.
Apparently the backup I made of the phone app through Titanium Backup was corrupt. I had an entire backup of my SD card on my hard drive and I tried restoring the phone app from that. Titanium Backup restored it fine.
I couldn't understand why TiBu would be unable to restore an app IT backed up! Apparently it wasn't unable to!
If anyone wants the three files created by the backup, I can zip them up and post them.

If not to much trouble I would like a copy of them, as my Tibu won't restore either and tried another method offered here somewhere without success and just gave up.

I'm pretty sure I should post this link elsewhere, but here you go!
Phone 2.2.2 backup up with TiBu
Nevermind I see it's resolved.
Okay since this is zip I believe it just gets installed through recovery, am I right. So when I try it just hangs at installing, had to pull battery to restart phone.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using Tapatalk 2
I'm sorry for not explaining things with the link. That is the three files that Titanium Backup creates when backing up an app. I zipped them into one file. Unzip them into your Titanium Backup folder on your SD card, and restore the phone app through Titanium Backup.
Well I give up, just going to stick with Dialer 1. Took zip, extracted and moved to Tibu backup folder, went into Tibu, didn't show up in apps list went to batch and reinstalled from batch mode and still nada. Tibu shows as installed but not there. Under application settings it shows 0.00 for file size, that can't be right, so guessing did not install.

fix!
No need for any flashing!!!
Just go into a file explorer (like root explorer) and go into system/app/ and look for the app the has disappeared and hold it down, a menu will pop up and go down to permissions.
there will be 3 columns. The first one should have all 3 boxes checked, the second column should only have the top box checked, and the last column should have all boxes UNCHECKED.
After you do that press ok and there should be a pop up saying that permissions were changed!
And that's it! Your app should be back! If not, try installing it after u change the permissions by pressing down on the app until u get a pop up and press open with, then pick apk handler, then just install, and it should work!
I'm new to the forums, so I hope this is helpful!

No one has suggested or recommended flashing in this thread, to my knowledge.
Killyjoy's suggestion may very well work, but the file you downloaded from me might not have been the right one.
I have two trios of files that came from Titanium Backup when I was trying to restore the phone app. One trio has the word "phone" in it...and that's what you downloaded from me the first time, the other trio has the word "dialer" in it, and that is here
My initial instructions should still apply. Unzip these three files into your Titanium Backup folder of your SD card. Look in TiBu for "[Voicemail] Dialer"
You should see that there is a backup from 4/06/12. If the app shows as installed on your phone, I'd uninstall it (MAKE SURE you see that TiBu recognizes a backup exists first) and then restore the app+data from the backup.
That's how I got back up and running......if you want to give the TiBu method one more go.

Sorry, I just browsed thru the comments real quick and thought I saw the word flashing in there lol. But this way definitely works, I lost my phone apk. 2 times after installing tb101 mod and I got it back both times.
I figured I'd post some screencaps so you guys could maybe understand what I was saying a little bit better.
Hope they help!

If using Tibu to reinstall back up, I had to verify back up was there then uninstall in TiBu and then reinstall.

Ok so I think I've got it figured out.
You delete the app that's missing out of the system
/app folder.
Copy and paste the new app into the system/app folder.
And then check the permissions and then reboot and it should be there.
Note: the app that your replacing needs to be from the Same ROM. So just download the rom your using and extract the app and go from there.
So next time your app goes missing, try this method and let me know if it works.
First off, HI ALL. Awesome community!! OK, so I am having the same can't write to SD issue as everyone else. I am rooted with TowelRoot and on KK 4.4.2. I have installed a few of the different "SD FIX" apps and upon looking at the platform.xml file the proper strings are there but I still cant write to or delete from EXT-SD. I have tried ES File Explorer and Root Explorer ( Donate vrs). Another thing that I noticed is that all the tutorials I have read say that there needs to be a space between the " /> at the end. My platform.xml doesnt have that, in fact, none of the strings have the space between the " and />. I tried to do it manually and got the massive force close of a lot of apps. Reverting back to the original didnt help. I had to do a factory reset. That stopped the FC issue but the paltform.xml file is the same with the added string and the nonexistant spaces. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
what filesystem do you have on your card?
Either he has exFAT or FAT32. Can you tell us your exact device model? What ROM are you on?
Thanks for the reply. Model number is N900V and I'm on stock Rom rooted.
Considering that your platform.xml file is still stock, you might want to try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
This app will automatically detect whether you need the fix or not. If you do need it, it'll do it for you.

I DL and ran app. Says not needed. Does anyone have the original file so I can start this process over? Or will that bork something? I'm a noob but I am a little tech savy. One anomaly that doesn't make sense to me is that in my xml file, none of the strings have a space between the " and />. Does that make a difference? I'm confused. lol

The whole xml is like that with no spaces. I originally used an SDFix app to do it. Never looked at it. It worked for a brief time then either I rebooted or something and it stopped. I added the space manually but noticed none of the strings had a space. Are they all supposed to have them or just to added/modified string? I did factory reset because I was getting the FC issue but that didn't reset the xml. Does anyone have the original so I can start the process over?
Try this. It already has the fix implemented. If everything else fails, you can still flash a stock rom and use the SD Fix app I posted before.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9Yi7IW9DXQsdVF0aGl0Z3lJbGc/edit?usp=docslist_api
OK. I renamed the file to paltform.xml and renamed mine to bak. Moved it to the folder and did a reboot. So far so good, no FC. Upon using Root Explorer I still get the failed operation toast when trying to delete a file from EXT SD. If noone else has an idea I guess I will just have to flash a rom and try that. I'm going to del and reinstall Root Explorer and see if that does anything. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for all the help.
OK so I dont know all what was messed up but here is what all I did. I went in to del the Root Explorer app and found that I had converted it to a sys app with TiBu. I undid that process, uninstall and reinstall. That didnt work, so I stuck SD in my puter and backed up files and then stuck card back into phone, robooted into recovery and did a wipe of the SD. Then I put a few test files back onto the card mounted by USB cable) and tried to make folder and del a diff file and it all seemed to work so all is good so far. As I am typing this I tried something else I couldnt do which was instll the XDA app. It kept saying something like it wouldnt write to the ext sd card. Well. I just installed it with no issues. Hooray!!!:laugh: So I dont really know what the issue was but it all seems to be going fine now. A BIG thank you to all that helped me in this. And Nitrous, I clicked the THANKS button on yours!! :good:
