Hi guys,
I rooted my phone (SGS4 SGH-I337M) using Odin and CF Auto Root method. Root was successful. I installed Titanium Backup and uninstalled the FIDO applications from my carrier but I can't remove it from the apps menu. I rebooted the apps were removed but the FIDO folder for some reason is still there and I can't remove it... how do I get rid of fido folder?
Have you tried removing the folder via root explorer?

I did not try that, but I just downloaded ES File Explorer. How do I browse to my Apps menu via the file explorer?

You should be able to view them from data/app
If it was a system file you can view it from system/app

This is pretty strange /device/data/app is empty there is nothing there...
/system/app has a bunch of apps in it but can't find the FIDO folder...
Thanks for your help/replies btw.

That is pretty bizarre. When you're in Titanium backup is there isn't visibility for fido any longer? Also try wiping the The cache.

Searching for Fido in Titanium Backup yields no results, all that is left is an empty Fido folder in Apps. Do you mean clear the cache in recovery?

Root explorer is best for this. But adb will work as well.

I accidently deleted status bar on my arc using titanium backup, I did make a back up before I delete it.
Does anyone can help me restore it? the restore function in titanium doesn't work... I can't see the restore file in the restore section, but I can see it in the backup folder which called "com.android.systemui"
Thanks in Advance!
P.S. The phone is a lot smoother than before tho... =S
you could just reflash the software (seus or flashtool) then do a full restore from titanium
Is that the only way I can do? Oils like everything is fine without the status bar, maybe I will just keep like this.
Thanks !!

sorry i was wrong, in the /sdcard/TitaniumBackup there are two files.
1.com.android.systemui -date-properties 7.16 kb
2. com.android.systemui-date-tar.gz 146 byte
, looks like it is empty after I use root explorer to unzip the second file?

Use a root browser like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, and copy the .apk files into data/app
Reboot into recovery, and fix permissions
How do I fix permissions or is there an option to do that in clockwork mod?
Also, would it be possible to use mobileodin to do that instead

Putting it into data/app installs is, fixing permissions is just so it will show in the app drawer
Make sure you have Security => Unknown Apps checked and Verify Apps unchecked
Apps install fine for me by clicking an .apk
Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.

Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, to try and install with your original method, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.

Is there no way to get system/app to r/w? Been trying every app and terminal command to let me remount so I can reinstall my backup of the messaging apk and it just doesn't work.
I use Root Explorer and have had no problem using"Mount R/W" in system/app.

I'm not sure that bluetooth is an app. I don't have an app installed for it at least, and there is no bluetooth app in the app store...
really trying to avoid factory wipe since it would take at least two hours to reinstall everything
NO ma man you can find the Bluetooth app in this location /system/app
then replace it
Yes yes yes
Replacing app in /system worked for me..Thanks guys as it was quite frustating....

there is apparently no app in the system/app folder for bluetooth, which i'm guessing is the problem
now where the heck do i find the 'replacement'? There is no bluetooth app in the market. sorry for not knowing exactly what to do
The system/app contains the bluetooth app, take a look
And if you are running 4.4.2 I can upload the apps for you

yeah I meant that the bluetooth app is not in there at all. don't know why i accidentally said folder
not sure if i'm running 4.2.2 or what, how do i tell? gs4 that i've been using a custom rom called mint jelly ever since it came out back in June of last year, and have not made any further updates due to them not being necessary
You can tell by going to Settings > More > About Device > then you will find android version

thanks, ive never sideloaded an app before so if you wouldnt mind....
do i download on computer? and then after I extract I take the APK and push it through? I can lookup this process but just wondering if this is the route i'm supposed to be going next
Download "ES File Explorer" then click on option button
Then scroll down and turn on Root Explorer
Then click on root explorer and choose Mount Option and change the /system to rw
Then download the apps & extract them
You can extract them on pc, then copy the apps to SD Card
From SD Card copy them to System/app

really thankful for your help
i did get those exact files into my sys/app folder
restarted the device and bluetooth still wont work...really frustrating. hard to believe the only way to fix this might be to get a completely different custom ROM and resetup my entire device, which will take hours and i'm sure it's just a matter of time before I have some other problem.
Any suggestions welcome
Sorry I forgot the most important thing
Keep pressing on any app in the /System/app
And click properties
And look to the permission of the app
then keep pressing on the Bluetooth app and click properties and click change the permission of the bluetooth app to Permissions like the previous app
Reboot
