Hi guys,
I just recently bought a HTC Desire HD and have been enjoying it very much.... I have rooted and S-off, but have yet to install recovery clockwork ....
That aside, yesterday I started moving some stock app files to a folder on the sd card (so I can remove it from my phone, plus back it up just in case) with root explorer (r/w mounted), I didn't move the HtcLocationService.apk. All went ok...
But just this morning I noticed my locations icon on my phone's interface has turned into the green android image...meaning the program is gone! It cannot be found in my programs at all.
I have tried to do the "reinstall locations" in the settings, but it says "unable to find an activity to handle this action", and I've tried to go straight to the HtcLocationService.apk to install it (not even sure if it is the right application) and it says "application not installed".
I am really stumped, and would like Locations back on my DHD!!
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance
What stock apps did you uninstall? Some apps are bound to eachother. Locations is probably bound to navigation or footprints or maybe another app. So if you uninstalled that, that could be the cause.
If it's really gone, then probably the only way to reinstall it is installing the stock ROM again (or a custom one). You probably can't install it again because locations needs some other stock app (if my hypothesis are right).
I took out stuff like friendstream, Plurk, Twitter, FieldTest, Flickr, HTC_IME, EasyCard, Laputa, KKBOX, plus phone provider apps (since I'm with TaiwanMobile, myfone) so TWM_City/Market/Movie/Music etc....
I've since moved the files back into system>apps, but it hasn't changed anything....is there any possibility I could get Locations back???
I can't think of an idea to reinstall Locations that easy. You can just install the official ROM again. You don't even have to be rooted then.
Have a look at this thread. If you deleted .apk files of the 2 lowest lists, then you could try to reinstall them first. Otherwise I don't know. maybe someone else.
I would have reinstalled the official ROM again. Just to make sure everything works correctly again. (and then start over removing apps :') ).
But maybe someone else knows a better solution
Thanks for you quick reply!
Can you point me to a thread that would explain the process of installing an official rom (where i would download the rom, etc)? Plus is there a way I can back up all my games, apps and settings, so I don't have to reinstall every app and game again?
would a Factory reset help? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm hoping I get this resolved
First of all: I found this thead for installing system .apk's. Maybe that can help. But it seems pretty comlicated .

A factory reset should restore everything, (ofcourse I was tthinking to complicated :') ).
All apps you installed from the market will be reinstalled if you login with you google account again. It can take a while. It also remembers wich apps you bought. It won't however save any data (like saves for games).
For other apps (and all apps if you want to backup the data), you could download titanium backup (also available in the market). Keep in mind though that for restoring any backups made with this app, you need root acces again.
The facotry reset will remove your personal data. Only your sdcard and simcard will keep their info.
I hope all is clear what I told . So no ROM download needed. :')
Let us know if it has worked
Hey again,
I just factory reset my phone, using settings. Locations has not been restored , also some gadgets was not working (may be the widgets I have removed before). The front page weather animation is gone! Only the time left...(how would I get that back?)
Any other suggestions will be appreciated!
go to locations in settings... u will find a tab "reinstall locaton" make sure u r on wifi...and it will install it back...it happnd with me and got it back instantly
I installed a stripped version of stock Lollipop and have used it for my daily driver for a while. There are a few of the widgets/apps missing that I'm trying to add back. I've got the weather widget APKs, but can't get it to install. I've copied it to the system folder and reset permissions and still nothing. I just get a message after the reboot that weather failed. Anybody have any ideas or another APK that will work with stock lollipop? I appreciate it.
[SOLVED] It was installed in the Secure Folder.. that's why I couldn't find it. I managed to install Avast, and then install it on the Secure Folder. Following that I ran Avast scan inside the secure folder and it found the apk and removed it. Pesky app..
Recently downloaded an apk that locked my phone.. I noted that it had the Draw over other apps permissions but didn't think it could cause this..
Anyway, this app fills the whole screen and can not remove it. I was able to turn off the phone by long pressing the power and volume buttons and when restarting I discovered that I was able to use the phone for a couple minutes before the malware appeared again.
During this time I was able to power off phone and get to Safe Mode. I disabled all the apps which had the overlay permission and also apps that affect system configuration.
But I am currently not being able to find it and uninstall it. Although doing the above steps the malware still appears and locks my screen when I enter normal mode.
**Is there a way to find the latest app installed and remove it without root? Otherwise, would it be possible to remove it via ADB? I've never used it but I believe it could be useful this time.. the only thing is I am not sure what's the .apk name..
I'm using a Galaxy S8 international version without root
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!
SOLVED IT.
Name: VideoChat.apk
It was installed in the Secure Folder.. that's why I couldn't find it. I managed to install Avast, and then install it on the Secure Folder. Following that I ran Avast scan inside the secure folder and it found the apk and removed it. Pesky app..
If i were you, i would factory reset, even if you did successfully remove that app.
This is my moms phone first off, she got it used from my sister. When she got it it had been factory reset but since my sister forgot her PIN part of setting the phone up for her was to log in with my sisters old information first to make sure it wasnt stolen. I mention this in case that might have had some bearing on anything.
The issue is when trying to sideload apps onto the phone and you tap on an APK file it comes up with the Text, Image, Video, Other popup as if you tapped on Open File As. Its as though the Android Package Installer thats built in isnt associated with APK files kinda like youd have file associations in Windows. As a temporary workaround I have gone and grabbed a third party APK installer app off the Play Store but that still isnt ideal as to install anything you have to go through that app then.
She has ES File Explorer installed and even tapn hold on an APK and using ES's Install option it uses the built in Package Installer so it doesnt work. Oh and Unknown Sources is of course enabled.
I would like to fix this without completely reinstalling the entire ROM with ODIN if I can help it or completely factory resetting the phone again.
