[Q] Clock apk reinstall - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'd like to reinstall system clock apk. How to do it? Where should I look for safe "com.sec.android.app.clockpackage" file?
Why? I uninstalled system Clock apk (v 3.0) on my s4. I tried to install Clock apk from s2 (Clock v 1.0). I did it through TitaniumBackup.
Clock v1.0 installation was unsuccesful - TB did hang during the operation... So I tried to restore Clock v 3.0 from my s4. It was partly succesful.
Now I have clock apk which is called "90.0dip" with strange icon.
When I try to restore "com.sec.android.app.clockpackage, version 3.0" from TitaniumBackup again, i'm directed to screen asking "Clock, Install update?". When I click "Install" I get message "Aplication was not installed"... And nothing changes...
Please point me in the right direction.
Many tnx,
Greg

Hi,
Try re-flashing your ROM without wiping anything.

I was hoping to avoid it.
Is there any way to manually install this apk?
Tnx,
Greg

Hi,
Flashing the ROM again will not affect your settings or data.
It simply re-installs the system and replaces the files you seem to be missing.
It is easiest thing to try first.

Genie Widget errors

hello folks,
I was trying to make my news and weather widget have a transparent background and through some poor reading i deleted the app. I did backup the original up via Titanium Backup beforehand but when i went back to see if i could restore, i don't have that option. I've downloaded several Genie widget apps now and all will install but once opened give the "Sorry...The application News and...has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Any thoughts on how to get this going properly again. Any help is much appreciated

How are you trying to install? If it were me, I would adb push it to /system/app/ rather than trying to install .apk. Be sure that it is not installed in /data/app/ first. That might be what is creating this problem.
i was going through Astro and app installer with no success. I just tried to push the file but no dice there either, same error. I check /data/app and i actually have nothing in this folder...is that normal? I checked system/app and the app was successfully sent over but not working as i said earlier. I appreciate your help on this...i'm all ears to any other suggestions. thanks

you should have some data in /data/app unless you have absolutely no user apps installed and even then I'd expect some. Try using adb making sure that you've remounted /system as rw

[Q] Please help- corrupted / deleted 2.1 gallery

My 2.1 3d gallery was playing up (I had some shortcuts etc to it also) and I uninstalled them all thinking I had a backup in titanium- but it appears I did not and now I cannot install any of the gallery.apk or 3dgallery.ap files - it tells me the application will replace an already installed application i click ok and install and it says installation failed.
Can someone help me re-instate the standard 2.1 3d gallery please?
Sorry If I am a bit of a noob- running 2.1 global rom with jit.
Thanks guys!
**edit after playing around I realised if I deleted com.cooliris (I think that was it) from the sony applications manager I could install the gallery fresh..

Can anyone help me also, I've got a different problem with gallery.
When I want to add a picture frame widget onto one of my home screens, if I select the "use by default" for gallery. Then the widget doesn't load after I select an image, I then have to uninstall gallery wrapper and reinstall so I get the list of programs again. What is the reason for this? Anyone else experience this?

[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.

PLZ!!! HELP!! IF YOU CAN AND THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!
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.

[Q] Missing Notification Bar

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.

[Q] Widget weather and rom bruce2728-d80220d

Hello,
I installed a new rome yesterday http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748883
But yet, the apps Weather doesn't work, when i click on, it said : The apps need a weather theme on update center.
But on the update center i haven't the weather theme to download.
Anyone can help me? If someone have the apps for flash...
Thanks
Reflash the rom. Seems you did something wrong.
It has to be in the downloads.
Sounds like something has happened to the LGWeatherTheme.apk. Check it is still there in system/app with root explorer.

Hi,
For the second time i did a wipe (cache / dalvik / system /data) and same things.
I check the folder system/app before and now and i haven't the files : LGWeatherTheme.apk
I try to download the stock weather widget on the forum but doesn't work.
if you have another idea....
Thank you !
When you click the weather widget it should offer you a download - 70-80 mb. :/
if it did, I don't come to ask for help.... I'm not completely stupid
When i click on, the update centeris open and nothing, i can't download something.
When i took a LG weather widget stock and i try to install it, it failed.
You don't need the stock weather widget you just need the lgweathertheme.apk/odex and they are not installed they are copied to system/app, given the rw-r--r--(0644) permissions and when you reboot it should be installed
Sent from LG-G2 D800 on AEONFLEX 4.4.2
I did it before i come here but it doesn't work even i put the good permission
I'll change the rom
Thank you
