So I was doing a proximity sensor experiment cause mine wont work and I was playing around with Phonebook and Phone APKs. My Java is not working so I couldnt usb adb but I wanted to replace my Phonebook and Phone APKs. So I used root explorer and manually copied those two apks from my sdcard and replaced the two I had in the system/app folder. Now my dialer doesn`t work anymore. It seems like it is uninstalled (not in drawer, shortcut I had to dialer says the app is not installed). I can`t even install it back now. It says Phonebook.apk cannot be installed or something like that.
... This is sad cause I cant even recieve calls now. Using my old phone now
The only way is to use adb... or reflash ur phone...
if u unnistall the phonebook.apk, u won't be able to edit/add/delete contacts... even with third part apps... u will be able to see them though...
And if u unninstall phone.apk u won't be able to make/receive any calls at all...
I know that bcoz i deleted them myself lol...

I have removed most amazon apps to make lighter rom. K Fire HD7 only
Been using for a week now ,thought i would share
Only flash using Hashcodes recovery,and you have a backup,and able to recover via fastboot
Play store included,silk is replaced with stock andriod browser,if you like Amazon's features
do not use this!
Two big bugs are after first boot unable to access applications in settings(workaround just
download an app manager in store ,i use antek)
Also only Gmail available ,no Email,i do not recommend using a third party app for email clients
Instead of superuser,there is Miui LBE,(default is root permissions off so enable in app)
many thanks to Lenny_Kano for this idea http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663222
Use at your own risk,there is no kernel change,so should be no problems i hope
Also you will not be able to sign into amazon and do not delete calender app it is part of kernel !
You have a choice of camera aosp or original !
Big thanks to Hashcode of course

recommend wipe cache/dalvick/data/system before flash ,if you want to keep your data apps search

I have 2 Galaxy S4 phones, one is the Active and one is standard S4. I use the Active on another line and switch sims when I want to use it on my main line, usually when I go boating or outdoors.
The standard S4 is rooted and has Cleanrom on it. The S4 Active is stock with the stock apps but is also rooted with the stock Rom. There are 2 Apps that I want to add to my standard S4 and I have tried to move them over but they seem to fail to install.
The 2 apps im trying to move are Optical Read and S Memo which are Samsung only apps meaning they come stock on the phone and you cannot download them from the play store. I used an app called APK Share and backup which seemed to do a good job of backing up both apps. I then transferred them over from one phone to the next and tried to install them. Both apps seem to be a complete APK file and when I go to install them they go all the way through the installation process and right at the end all it says is "App not installed"
I also tried using Titanium backup which failed as well. It gets all the way to installing the app on the phone and then freezes and does nothing. I thought for sure Titanium backup would work but no go.
S memo is the one I really want to have installed since I use a Note 8.0 to take all my business notes on which I would like to view on my Rooted Galaxy S4.
Anyone have any idea why these apps wont install or any other ideas I might try to move these apps over. It seems like it should be a pretty simple process since they are both Galaxy S4s but I guess not.
Did you try and fix permissions on the s4 in your recovery after you copied the apps. I'm assuming you took the apk from the active and copied into /system/app on the s4.

That I did not do. I will have to learn how to do that. I will try and search for it on google. Thanks for the suggestion.
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
hi all, hope someone can help me with this. i bought this phone but it only has like 9gb available, i rooted my device and i wanted to know if there is something i can do to free up memory, since its running low. please help, its the GT-I9505
If you are rooted you can use a program like titanium backup to delete system apps. You nee to be careful i deleted samsung store and it messed with other fuctioning stuff. You might want to find a list of what you can and canot uninstall.
Try flashing a ROM, like Cyanogenmod, that isn't touch wiz based. I did and I haven't had a single lag or internal storage issue. Good luck!
try the Clean Master app from play store

im a big fan of pure google android, and this touchwiz just isnt for me. can you point me out to a stable rom?
Try using the latest snapshot of cyanogenmod, or one of the latest nightlies both are pretty stable and I use them.
All of the rom touchwiz or non touchwiz will have the same available space i.e 9gb because of the default size samsung has used for the os on this phone. I think the only way to get the full amount is to flash a Chinese version of the rom and to do something with the pit files. I wouldnt go near that if i was a noob to this though because its messing with the partitions

Root App delete is an unknown extremely powerful app. It will remove and push in a user app and turn it into a system app. It will remove any system app completely. To be safe you can completely disable an app which it completely hides away from the system (doesn't appear at all on reboot) and if anything starts acting up, you simply access the disabled app menu in Root App delete and restore it to resume normal functionality. That's what am using to lighten my current stock rooted s4 rom. It's awesome! Even android v1.6 can run it. You don't need to damage your stock rom just disable and watch over a period of time. If the system remains stable, delete the app permanently, if the default keyboard sucks, install your custom keyboard then push it into the OS for it to become a system app then delete the default keyboard that sucks. This app gives me a field day in making my rom lighter just don't select the Pro option use the Junior, it is very very powerful all for 100% Free. In google play if you care to look alittle harder, all the apps that are paid for, have someone else giving all those features literally for free . I specialize in finding fremium apps. All my apps are fremium apps
