Read this post and download his Dialer.apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44115073&postcount=38
Then you must re-enable root. Go to Settings > Developer Options > Root access. Change to Disabled. Reboot. Go back and re-enable root.
Now, use Root Explorer to copy the dialer.apk to /system/app. Change permission to Owner=Read/Write, Group=Read, Others=Read
Reinstall dialer.apk from the /system/app directory. Dialer/Phone should be ok now.

mmm this seems be hard
i prefer wait quarx fix this problem.
If someone have something more easily to solve the problem then put here please.
Thanks.

This will actually take about 5 mins to do. Don't need to be a dev to do this.

Another problem with 4.3
A fix has already been released.
I have another problem, though.
· If the right menu is slid down and the button with the 3g/2g network is pressed (the one that comes default with the name of the company), all the radios are shut off, and it's impossible to shut them on again. Not even rebooting. Had to reinstall CM10.2. I'm using the ROM without that button, just in case. This bug has been reported in the developer forum but I think it hasn't been given attention.
· And... I like using "My data manager"... a very famous data usage app. It just doesn't work, no data is gathered. However, Jelly Bean default data usage menu works, but I don't like that! Is this a known issue? Is there a fix??
Maybe I should have opened a new thread for this... I'm a noob
Thanks!

help cant install apk files anymore

plz help
I have an rooted x10a(r23) and Iv been installing apk files by transferring them to my sd card.
Iv been using Astor to install them. Also i have non market apps checked in my settings.
Today i tried to install an apk file using Astro, but it wouldn't let me. it just goes back to an blank screen and then back to the install screen.
Does any one know how to fix this?
Happened to me after I rooted my phone. But not immediately after rooting.I removed all the unnecessary apps and stopped all the third party services using startup cleaner, dunno if that did it, but I am able to install apks again.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
also the same problem x10i R23, rooted one week ago. Till yesterday it was no problem to install apk files. Since today it is not possible!
interesting. this same thing happened to me before i rooted. after i rooted i was able to install any app.
Try checking the install from unknown sources option in the settings.

This point is selected but since today it is not more possible to install apk files.
Installation only direct from the market is possible.
Maybe a bug in the root???
I replaced the rooted R23 through R2BA0024 (not rooted) and have now no problem to install apk files.

I can install apks fine with my x10a using R23...
I tried what arizhasan said and used startup cleaner, but no luck
This prob has happened to me a few times. The only way iv fixed it was to re-root it again (witch im getting kinda sick of)
any body know how to fix this cause i dont want to ROOT again! :"(
Same problem
After rooting last night I can not install apk files from sdcard. The installer starts but after choosing install the installer just starts againg in an endlesss loop. Works fine using adb install and also from Market.
Any ideas?
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
also there is a rooting issues thread for this...
Same problem here. I cant install apk anymore on my x10 after rooting to r2ba026. Any solution for this?
Ive been searching this issue but cant find it. Or can anyone post a link on xda addressing this issue> Many many thanks!

Look up apps2sd its custom for 2.2 froyo but there is a work around for earlier versions, research lots before you do anything coz you can mess your phone settings if you don't know what your doing.

App to Backup WifiSettings

Hi!
I could not find an App which saves and restores WifiSettings so I tried and wrote my first Java Application... :-D
This is currently Root-only and tested on an HTC Desire (Rooted Stock-Froyo), so please, to be on the safe side, do a nandroid-Backup before you test this on your device (!!!). The backup should not damage anything, it basically copies your wpa_supplicant.conf to your sd-card, but I experienced problems when restoring the settings _before_ enabling the Wifi Connection for the first time after a full wipe (probably something with file permissions, I'm working on that).
Instructions
- Install apk as usual
- Press "Backup" to save your wpa_supplicant.conf on your SD-Card
(for testing - delete some wireles networks you can restore manually, for example your home network)
- Press "Restore" to restore your wpa_supplicant.conf in place
The app disables your Wifi before and reanables it after the restore process.
I suggest, because this is not yet tested well, you do a nandroid backup and don't blame me if you didn't and after restore your wifi won't start anymore...
I hope this is of use to someone...

Confirmed to work on:
- HTC Desire Stock (rooted)
- OpenDesire (4.0.x)
Changelogplaceholder
v0.2:
- (hopefully) fixed the "Could not find Wifi-Config"-Error
Android 2.2 backs them up automatically under your gmail settings. This is a great app for people under 2.2 and for others who don't let Google store their backups. Good luck. Will be following this thread.

I actually didn't know that google does that. But could you tell me how you can restore them after a factory reset? I couldn't find any option for that and did not notice my wireless configurations to magically reappear :-/
Regards
karoodee
Been looking for an app that does this for ages. Its a nightmare to keep inputting wifi access codes after a wipe and new rom install.
Cheers
EDIT - Tried it but it does not work. Says cannot find wifi config file. Never mind!
This is on a desire running Modaco R8 Rom.
Wifi config file is located /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
@beady_uk: Could you try the new version I uploaded to the first post? That would be nice... :-D
- REMEMBER, because this is pretty alpha, to do a nandroid-backup before restoring, it could be that your wifi cannot be enabled if something goes wrong :-/

[Q] My Touch 4G themes not working

Im having a problem with my mytouch 4G. I rooted my phone the other day and all was going well, then I decided to delete some of the factory apps that I dont ever use. well.. Im guessing I deleted an app or apk. file that I needed, because now I cant change themes, when I click on "themes" it just gives me this error "Unable to find an activity to handle this action" I was thinking it might have to do with the "my modes.apk" but im a noobie at all of this so im really not to sure and im looking for help from the big dawgs.. lol... Here are some steps I have already tried taking. I tried restoring it by doing a system reset, well after doing so I realized I didnt do a backup ugh!! So.. I found the factory rom and tried flashing it so that it would install the apps. or apk. files that im missing... I thought that would be the easiest solution, just to start fresh. When I started I re-downloaded the terminal emulator so I that I could flash the factory rom, but now it wont give me "su" permissions it says "permission denied" again nothing! and noticed I didnt have the Superuser permission app. so I downloaded it off the market thinking maybe it would help but its just black like its not detecting anything. why? that this point I tried dropping the rom zip into the root and booting in reboot mode, I noticed it said wrong img. and didnt do nothing. Am doing something wrong? Other then this my phone works like a champ. Thats why I am asking if anybody can send me the "My Modes apk. file from there my touch 4G. PLZ!!! HELP!!! if you know what the heck is wrong.....these are the apk. files I deleted.

Yes, the my modes app controls your themes in stock rom so you need it if you want to switch themes.
If you flashed the TMOUS rom to fix the missing apps problem, you unfortunately unrooted your phone. That's why superuser app isn't responding. There is a nandroid of a stock install which would have been better to use as it wouldn't have undone root. That's too late, it sounds. You need to re-root after flashing TMOUS rom. All should be ok after that.

no.. I was still rooted after I deleted but I have fixed my problem. I was being dumb and wasnt installing the right superuser app. lol, so after doing so I got super user permissions and just flashed the phone back to the factory rom. thanks for the suggestion anyway.

1. go to any empty space on your homescreen, long press the empty space, press setting, turn on google now.

Google product forums are filled with this complaint. It's not a bad flash, Google Now is just not there for some users.

Google Search 2.6 works on Kitkat but first you have to uninstall the new version. The reason why it can activate Google Now as opposed to the newer versions is because it does not check the location settings.
I wonder if anyone figured how to get Google Now back so far.

I had the same issue since updated my N4 to 4.4 via official factory image.
Here's my solution but requires ROOT!
1) If you're using new GE launcher (it's integrated with Google Search app), uninstall it and choose default N4 Android 4.4 launcher.
2) Clear data and cache for currently installed Google Search app and uninstall updates, it should revert back to 3.0 version.
3) Download Google Search 2.6.7 here. Rename it to velvet.apk DO NOT INSTALL!
4) Open your favorite file manager with root option (I use Solid Explorer). Navigate to root/data/dalvik-cache and delete [email protected]@[email protected]
5) Navigate to root/system/priv-app, firstly backup velvet.apk and then delete it.
6) Copy velvet.apk file that you just downloaded and renamed to the same directory root/system/priv-app and change permission to 644.
7) Reboot device
8) Open Google Search app Google now opt-in options will appear, agree and go on.
9) Open Play Store and update Google Search to lastest 3.1 version.
10) Again navigate to root/system/priv-app and restore system original velvet.apk which you just backed up. It is important because when new OTA arrives for yoiur device it will check all root/system/ directory for any changes. OTA update will fail if it detects that user changed system files.
11) Reboot device once again
Google now should work without problem. Also now you can install new GEL, it should work with new Google now features including dedicated left panel on home screen.
I appreciate your effort, but it is not really a solution: nobody should be forced to root their device to get back some functionality, which was accessible before the upgrade.
off course not. But it's best way to fix this issue if you already rooted your device for some other purposes.
I was seeking for solution since updated to 4.4 for 2 days. Tried different methods, with and without root but nothing helped.
It seems like users should wait Google's response for this issue to get a fix.

Looks like they are on external sd card and there is a read/write issue with some apps here.
If you are rooted there is a fix. Most custom roms include the fix though if you search you will find how to do it yourself.
Otherwise you will need to wait until the apps are updated and write to different partitiion
Hey not-i im on crash rom v6 and I was on his thread and another user installed a few of the apps and reported no probs, I hope it has to do with the apps not my at the least, thanks bro for ur help....
