Hello all,
My device is an ls980 running rooted, stock kitkat. About a week after the ZVC update (kitkat), my Lg Gallery application stopped working. It would not open, giving me an error message saying that "gallery has stopped." So I tried an "uninstall" application from the market to uninstall the stock app, and then I attempted to restore/reinstall it again. Every attempt I have made has been unsuccessful and the app cannot be installed.
So my question is: how can I get the Lg Gallery application reinstalled and working properly?
Thank you, I appreciate anyone's help greatly.
How did you uninstall the stock gallery from the play store when it's not available on the play store and I'm sure the reason it's not installing is because the app needs to be placed in the system/priv-app folder and needs to be given the correct permissions

I uninstalled the app using a "system app uninstaller" application. The APK file is still located in my system/priv-app folder, and I have even tried installing it from there using root explorer. What permissions need to be applied?

you apply the rw-r--r-- (0644) and then reboot, the phone should say android is upgrading and it should be working again

Those permissions are already applied to the file, but the APK still refuses to install even after a full reboot.

I copied the odex file over to the priv-app folder and added the permissions, but after a reboot, the gallery still will not install.
Perhaps the file is somehow damaged?
Well here's my gallery apk

Hmm, this is very odd. I continue to get the same error. I guess I will have to continue researching the issue for a solution.

very odd indeed maybe you should find the apk/odex for your device or maybe placing them somewhere else like system/app

I was able to get the app installed again (although it did it on its own after a reboot and some tinkering...); however, the gallery still cannot open as before.

I need help restoring my camera to its original state. I applied the camera mod to increase bitrate but it FC's my camera. So I flashed the "stock" settings again and I still have the problem. Any way to just flash a completely stock camera apk? I'm on CM10.1 if that matters.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
No need to flash it. Use a root file explorer to copy the stock camera.apk to /system/apps and change permissions to rw-r--r--.

Thats not correct for his issue. The mod modifies the media profiles and not the camera apk so replacing the camera apk won't help a single thing.
You need to replace your media profile with the stock one you had before you flashed the camera enhancement files. Or flash a new ROM.

Thanks, is there a default media profile I can refer to? If not will my issue resolve itself tonight after I flash the next nightly for CM?

If you dirty flash the next nightly it should over write the modification and put back in the original media profile.
If it doesn't then you will have to perform a clean install and wipe first. But I am almost 100% positive the mod will be over written with a dirty flash and you will be back to normal.

Thank you very much Monk. I'll try and report back after.

Dirty flashing worked and my camera's back to normal. I don't think it's worth double the data size for what everybody is saying is a placebo mod.

I am cameraless!
I received my phone yesterday and started playing with it. While deleting a couple of the google apps (via TBP) I think I accidentally deleted that of the camera (which I can only guess would have been the Gallery apk?)
I have downloaded necessary files and all I need to do is change permissions but I don't have the option
Can someone help shed some light?

No option to change permissions
Use a better file manager, Solid Explorer for example. Make sure you enable root access
OK so, downloaded solid explorer, changed permission on both apk and odex to rw-r-r and the three .so files and nothing. App does not show up on my list
EDIT: Now both Gallery and Camera are showing BUT when I tap on them it tells me "Unfortunately Gallery has stopped."

Didn't help, I keep getting the same message... I had a couple of frozen items on TBP and defrosted to see if that would solve the issue but nop.... Something that seems so easy has taken me all day to fix :crying:
EDIT: maybe this piece of info helps someone know what is happening; when i uninstall or modify any app it gives me that same error "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped."
Followed instructions of installing the 4.2Camera zip as well as the toolkit zip via recovery with no avail.
Deleted the apps, added them. No luck
Copy pasted the lib (.so) files and changed permissions (replaced existing). No luck
Rebooted a million times. Did a data, cache and dalvic cleanup and No luck
I had installed instragram and then deleted it. I also installed Quickpic (doubt any of these have anything to do with the problem though).
EDIT 2: Problem SOLVED!!! I updated gapps with this file which seems to be the latest version and voila! Camera is back to proper working order!

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.

smart remote for galaxy s4 and candy crush saga v1.0.7
I recently rooted my stock AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (MF3) and have been implementing a few improvements that I've found on this thread but have run into a strange error twice already when trying to replace an existing system app with a modded version.
With other phones in the past I simply paste an app into system/app and set RW-R-R permissions, then reboot the phone. During the next boot it usually says "android is upgrading 1 of 1" and creates a matching .odex file in the /system/app folder and everything works perfect.
So far I've tried to replace the SecPhone.apk with a version that allows call recording, and the TetheringProvision.apk with one that will let me tether on my AT&T phone. In both instances I reboot, but it never says "upgrading", nor is an .odex file created, and then the app fails to work. With the TetheringProvision.apk I also kept getting a "failed to change permissions" error in ES File Explorer, so I retried with Root Explorer, and SMangager but none of them could change the permission on the apk once it was in the system/app folder (yes /system was mounted R/W). I'm not sure if this is related to the above problem or not.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? I have frozen most of the Samsung bloatware apps and while I've been careful, I suppose I could have accidentally frozen something important, but everything other than these replacement system apps seems to be working perfectly. I thought android automatically checked for new apps on every boot, but apparently not on my phone.
Is there any way to force an app check on boot? Thanks for the help.
So I guess no one else has had a similar issue...

For an Odexed system, an Odex file is required to be installed along with the original file. So if a mod is created for an "Odexed" system, it will have a .odex file accompanying it that must be installed also. Installing a deodexed file into an odexed system doesn't work unless the deodexed file is split down into its 2 parts again (original file, plus .odex file)..
This was very helpful. Is there a guide you could recommend to me on how to make an odex file from the modded apk that I have so that I can get these programs working on my S4?
