Hey all, I have a new Sprint Galaxy S4.
I rooted it and then proceeded to install a file for Galaxy S4 Active... which AHEM, yeah isn't the S4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2412645
Anyhoo, I simply need to deleted the two files copied to my phone by Flash Gordon. But being a noob, I can't seem to manage this with ES FILE explorer... I suspect I need to go into DOWNLOAD mode, but I don't know what to do.
A little help?
Thanks

A HA!
I downloaded FILE COMMANDER which allows you to grant superuser with root. There we go, got it deleted.

You can do the same with ES File Explorer. You go to it's settings and enable root access, or something like that.

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.

I think ES file explorer needs root permissions ..

Well I was trying to follow the instructions from here to turn off the auto conversion from sms to mms whenever you enter an emoji. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472009&page=5
Long story short I ended up with a non-functioning SMS app, and I accidentally deleted my backapp while I was moving things around. SO I guess what I'm asking is if people can give me a copy of there SecMms.apk for kitkat 4.4.2 (Ive tried adding previous versions but that doesn't seem to work). It should be located at the system/priv-app (you have to be rooted to access it). Thanks guys.

I'm using the stock Samsung n9005XXUEND6. I don't know how to extract it from the rom, If you can point me to a simple guide and a little more instructions that would help a lot. Or if you have a compatible SecMms.apk that would really make my day.
Factory reset is not an option for me, as I have not made any backups, and I have too many apps and setting for me to wipe my entire phone.

you can copy the rom to your desktop, and just copy it out... you need rootexporer or esfilemanager with root access, so you can copy it back to system/jpriv-app,
if you look on my signature, I have a thread in the dev section, on Samsung galaxy note 3 and tmobile note 3....
I have the roms for various N9005 phone... and the firmwares....
okay, I had to rar the file, it has the secmms.apk and secmms.odex if your using stock rom... both the files are in there... :good:

Thank you! This worked perfectly! And also another thanks for actually telling me about ES filemanager. I've always used it, but never knew it could access root files. Thank you very much.
Hello.
I am not sure if it is android wear problem. If it's not sorry then
On my phone using normal file explorer apps everything is ok.
But on android wear apps ( i tested 3):
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rocketstartups.wearfilemanager
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woiapp.filemanagerwear
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jppjff.fileexplorer
when i want to open "sdcard" or other directories they are saying "*name* unaccessible" or "no access".
How can I fix that?
Thanks for help
Based on the app comments, it seems to be a common issue.
I have tried one, and I see there is no permission. I have the same, I cannot read /storage, but I can read it using adb on computer.
I think that SD storage acces permission is missing in these apps.
I just sideloaded ES File Explorer because of the same problem. /sdcard/ is accessible with no issues

Which version did you sideload? I did the same and was unable to get ES to work. Crashed without opening.

Could you be so kind as to detail how to accomplish this? A friend needs to pull a watch face back off the watch to recover it from having been accidentally deleted from the phone.

Thank you kind sir. Had family issues that prevented me from reviewing and responding sooner but you deserved a reply and thanks![emoji6] [emoji106]
You need root access to view and access filesystem on the watch.
So I rooted by Galaxy S5 SM-G900V running 4.4.4. (please be specific, Im new to this). My device is ALREADY rooted and 100% confirmed, as I used root checker.
And now everytime I open gallery or do certain things, It tells me "Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped working."
I read on a thread you can Rename or replace the ContextService.apk file located under /system/priv-app to fix it, So where do I get a non corrupt copy? And how do I access the /system/priv-app area? Connect to a pc?
Also, wouldnt replacing with a non corrupt version be more important that renaming it and no longer working? Do we not need it?
update
So I downloaded Root Explorer app to find that "/system/priv-app area" and nothing. I can not find any "system" file or Priv-app area.
Thanks
You need to root your device. For file explorer try ES File Explorer for root browsing.
already rooted
