[Q] LG D800 Stock apps installation issues - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, Although I've been looking for days, I didn't come accross with a solution so heres my speech.
I have a rooted lg g2 d800 (att model) running Stock kitkat 4.4.2 (sw version d80020y).
Unfortunately, this device did't come with an stock voice recorder, and because of some problems sending whatsapp audios through the whatsapp mic icon, troubles already commented here in the forum somewhere else, I wanted to install the lg voicerecorder posted HERE, but unluckily I couldn't get the app to work, fm radio also didn't.
(Already knew d800 fm receiver is disabled, i needed trying this sort of apps though.)
I did set permissions on ES File explorer, and mounted system as r/w but after rebooting they just dont show up in the apps menu.
(also tried with ES FileExp. cupcake 1.5, "System apps Installer" from playstore but still no solution).
I tried installing a bunch of playstore apps, as system apps with ESFileExplorer and, surprisingly, they did get installed correctly. ( I mean after rebooting "they were there to use" in launcher menu).
I don't know whether it matters or not but i have latest busybox, superSU and i rooted the device with stumproot.
Anyone with a possible solution???

[Q] Cant install stock email apk

Hi everybody.
Im customizing my Note 3 N9005 rooted with the latest firmware I7.
I made a mistake using ROM Toolbox Pro and i stopped the service Exchange. That made my email application not function so i lost both services.
I made a backup of both before i touch anything but when i try to reinstall them with the same ROM Toolbox Pro, the program says it cant do it. Also with Roote Explorer into that application (very usefull with lots of options).
I also made a copy of all the APK into my Exsdcard and put the two APK with and without the ODEX files and nothing. In security i disable the setting that will allow to install them but nothing works. I even restart the phone with various settings and nothing changes.
So weird that original stocks APK cant be installed back.
Their name are SecEmail_Japk and SecExchange.apk. I reasure that i have both safely backed up but i cant install them again.
I tried K-9 but im acustom to this email apk. I also read something about flashing them but i dont even know how to do that (and make it worst).
Any help with this??
Thank you

Unknown App called "mywind" suddenly installed

Hello Forum!
I tested some Roms today and now after restoring my old System I encountered an italian App called mywind (its on Google Play). I didn't installed it and I can't uninstall it from within the drawer.
So I googled it and it seems to be part of any north american Provider Service or something.
Does anybody know where it comes from or how to get rid of it?
Greetings, Jan
PS: I'm on a debloated and modded G2 D802 with 5.0.2 Stock LL Dorimanx and I was testing the Google Edition 1.3 Rom.
Use Root Uninstaller to get rid of it, you can find it on Play Store.
Thanx for that, Felipe. It wasn't easy to remove. Had to erase single files via root explorer because the uninstaller only deleted the .apk.
Now its gone but theres still the Question: What exactly is it and where did it come from?
i have the same problem.... witch other files did you delete? (i use root uninstaller to remove the app too). Thanks

I saw there was an unofficial application called myWind with the package ID it.wind.myWind and an official myWind application, do you know which one was installed? If it was the official myWind application (also available on the play store), it's possible that your carrier could have a thing similar to Sprint Zone/Boost Zone which downloads and installs carrier applications.
It says in the app " MyWind is the app that lets you keep track of your Wind and Infostrada lines. "
It seems like a carrier app . Could be included in the rom you installed.

Music app issues on CloudyG2 3.3

Well, it's my first time today using the music app on my cell phone after I've installed the ROM a few days ago. Unfortunately, the app crashes (it tells me: "Unfortunately, Music has stopped" and when I press the "OK" button, the app closes) with some sound files that were playing just fine on the stock music app of original ROM. Using VLC to play the same problematic files don't crash VLC but I notice hiccups/interruptions when playing the sound files using VLC (I've disabled all settings on that bundled program called Viper4Android FX thinking that it may be the culprit but it isn't). So all in all, the sound playback on my cell has some issues + music app has some issues as well and I'm not sure if it's just me or what.
Is there any patch for my model (LG G2 D802) after the release of 3.3 of Cloudy that I've missed?
And BTW, is there any future update for cloudy to include the 5.1.1 LP (which fixes many memory leaks as confirmed my Google...etc) or 3.3 is the end?

official 5.1.1. doesn't exist for g2
no official newer android version for g2 means no newer cloudy rom for g2
we didn't get lollipop cloudy rom until official lollipop (5.0.2) was released for g2...
simple as that

Yeah sorry, that makes complete sense since last official version is indeed 5.0.2. but does the music app work fine with other people and it's just me?

Could you please tell me what did you choose/not choose when you installed the ROM?
for example, could the reason be that I didn't install some LG apps (LG Smart Notice and LG SmartWorld), and that I removed quickcover feature by ticking xposed support?

I don't think so , lg music app should work even when disabling what you said before. try other music app if it works properly then try to clear lg music's data .or use x-plore app to extract music app form the rom and install it as system app using any root explorer .
The best way is to clean install of the rom.
Cheers
well, I just clean installed the ROM again and the before installing any app, i opened the music app but still same behaviour! Not sure why I'm alone having this but I found 2 music apps on the store and they played the files just fine. It's a shame that I've to get new apps to replace built-in misbehaving apps

i'm not 100% sure that stock music player works with viper4android...
try to go in settings > administrative tools > (scroll down to) use NuPlayer (experimental) - and turn it off (or on if it's off)
i think i also had a similar problem with viper4android until i fiddled with that setting (although it was a long time ago when i still used Cloudy rom)
edit:
one more thing when installing Cloudy3.3
no need for disabling that LG apps in cloudy aroma installer because of xposed - that has been fixed in xposed since version 68-69 (latest is 80 something) - cloudy3.3 came out before that xposed bug which caused some LG apps not to work

so do you want me to leave the 1st two options checked for LG software? (I don't remember their names exactly) & Do you also want me to check or uncheck the last option (LG cover something)? I'm a little confused actually. I'll wait for what you tell me to check / uncheck before installing the ROM for the 5th time!
Oh, and I disabled the NuPlayer but it didn't solve the problem!
sorry, i've ment "developer tools" - not administrative...
about installing those 2 lg apps - i don't think they're relevant for music app to work properly... i always disable/remove them in any rom i use because i don't need them...
i've just mentioned that because they're irrelevant for newer xposed versions...

Ok, I removed them as well as I don't need them. Installed CloudyG2 3.3 fresh and I set up my device as if it's new (I didn't restore anything from my Google backup just to make sure that I'm installing 100% fresh) and the music app still crashes (with some files). I've disabled NuPlayer and rebooted and still crashing occurs. I tried updating the Viper4Android and after doing that, it urged me to update the driver which I did, then rebooted as instructed, but every time I open the program, It urges me over and over again with the driver update. I disabled completely this program just in case it is the culprit but still Music app crashes with same files. I'm not really sure why it's just me who is having all of these issues!
I've decided to return back to stock but my computer doesn't want to finish installing the drivers during that "download mode" phase so I'm not even able to flash back the original stock KDZ file (my goal is to return back to stock flash, then re-install twrp, then apply some de-bloating myself but I'm still stuck with the 1st phase which is flashing my stock ROM back!)
well this is really weird...
try this
download and flash
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jsz0uvf0ugngt3z/AAC6xSF1u4u-OgV0LIREfAJza?dl=0
(musica lg+ widget)
(this is the dropbox folder with various LG stock Lollipop apps which one of the xda users gathered for the people using Google Edition rom which lacks those LG stock apps)

I did and same behavior!
Does the Cloudy Zip file have 1.29 GB (1,391,310,778 bytes)?
Also when I activated the option of Zip signature in TWRP, my zip file failed the signature but it installed fine. Does this have something to do with the problem?

try to install the rom with all the LG apps - maybe LG cover and that other one are somehow connected with LG music app...

Recovering Stock Samsung Applications [ROOT]

Hi,
I recently rooted my Note 5, and was trying to update the following stock apps: Phone, Messages, Contacts. First, I uninstalled them all using SD Maid Pro, then downloaded the latest version of the apps (for Android 7 and +) from apkmirror. However, except for Phone, I encountered the conflicting package error. Furthermore, even after I rebooted (and tried replacing it from data/app to system/priv-app), Phone app could not be found. Currently, I have neither of the apps and cannot use my phone to call or send an SMS.
I have no intention to flash a stock ROM and lose everything I've built and set up so far.
Any help that regards to installing the latest version of the aforementioned apps is appreciated,
Thank you.
EDIT: Manually installed the apps by creating a folder with the same name as the .apk file in system/priv-app and giving the right permissions to the file (rw-r--r--) for each of the apps.

Broken support to OPUS files

Hi guys,
I have a stock LG g6 with android 8.0
In the last few days I noticed that I cannot play anymore voice messages on whatsapp. At first i tried to reinstall whatsapp but it didnt work. I also tried to play manually the files from a file manager but android is not recognizing these files, although if i install an audio player for OPUS i can play the files just fine.
I don't remember if i have changed some permissions or i uninstalled some critical app.
I would like to avoid formatting the phone, do you have any idea?
Thank you
