Help! My Locations app has disappeared!

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

Some apps

I have been having a few problems. First, I tried running system tuner but all the options under startup are greyed out so I can't change auto starts. Also, better battery stats will not show anything. I am running omnirom on my i777. Any help is appreciated. These used to work on shostock3 and other Roms and not this

Is it rooted? Maybe your System Tuner app needs root access and the Omnirom I installed on my device wasn't rooted. Lots of other roms are rooted by default.
P.S.: to change autostarts, I use a smaller app, the Disable Services.

Mobdro app not working on Slim-grouper-4.4.4.build.9.0-OFFICIAL-8258

I installed Slimkat 4.4.4 on a aging Nexus 7 2012, but Mobdro will not work. I have uninstalled Mobdro, went into recovery and cleared cache, and Dalvik cache, did a SD Maid cleaning, and then downloaded Mobdro (latest version), re-installed, but I still get the same useless error message, "Unfortunately, Mobdro has stopped". This app did work before on a stock non-rooted Lollipop install.
I checked to see if any of the other apps were preventing Mobdro from working, I thought it was MinMinGuard so I disabled it, and rebooted, but it was not the problem. I could not see any other possible app conflicts or problems.
I am beginning to think that it is a conflict with Slimkat and Mobdro, or perhaps a setting in Slimkat that has created a conflict, I pretty much left all the settings in Slimkat at default. Any help would be appreciated. :good:

Try putting the dpi settings back to stock for the device. Slims custom dpi causes tons of issues with apps due to this.

I was unaware that Slimkat did this. I installed this ROM for someone else, so I am not familiar with the settings, where is this setting , and will I need to look up the DPI for the N7, or will the settings set it to the correct stock DPI? Thanks for replying.

There should be a setting some where in slim settings. I have not used slim in a long time so I'm not sure where it is.

So unfortunately changing the DPI was not the solution. Thanks for that info though, at least I know it not that now. :good:

I have issues with mobdro app
HI
Iam recently downloaded mobdro on my iPhone but i am not able to install it on my iPhone mobile. Please any one help me how to install mobdro on my iPhone.
Thanks in advance

Mobdro no longer works because access to the streams has been eliminated due to legal proceedings for infringement of protected content. Mobdro was a masterpiece, and we all hope that maybe one day it will pop back up again. Until then here https://bestdroidplayer.com/streaming-apps/mobdro-not-working-best-apks-replace-mobdro/ are some alternatives of Mobdro and fixes that you can check out.

Same thing with me. Mobdro is not working. It's stuck on the purple/pink home screen.

Help on installing apps automatically.

Hey, Everyone
My friend has an LG G2 and he is having problem with it.
He says that in his handset apps installs automatically.
He tried factory reset but it did not helped.
I gave him tips on restricting his google use , so he changed his google password.(Which is of course useless )
And problem still persists.
Any help?
[P.S. apps were mostly games. ]

Its most likely an app he has installed or he has been visiting some sites he should not be.

1. Factory Restore the phone...
2. While setting up the phone uncheck the auto restore option... Google automatically installs the apps you have previously installed... Just uncheck the box restore and auto backup if you want (Sync will still work if not sync manually)

Marshmallow problems

Hello all,
I've upgraded my SM-N910F to Marshmallow BTU and while everything seemed OK at first, I noticed that the stepcounter in S Health has stopped working. I tried resetting the app data and restoring data from cloud backup as well as removing the update installed after MM to no avail.
Yesterday, I also noticed that the screen rotation has stopped working too. I appreciate that one of the recommendations might be to wipe and start a fresh but that's not an easy thing to go through and I would much rather leave that as the absolute last resort.
Has anyone else had this issue and is there a better way to resolve this without wiping?
Thanks in advance

Did you uninstall Facebook? That also removes libgnustl_shared.co, which affects rotation. Here's a zip of my file (6.0.1 XSG for 910C), no assurances it will fix it short of a reflash, but you might give it a try (unzip first) -- put it in system/lib/ and set permissions to 644.

Thanks @rogerinnyc that library fixed the rotation issue. Why on earth would an additional app not really integral to the system remove such a critical system library is beyond me. It's evidence of the kind of alliances these companies make to force their products upon the consumers. I would understand if the device were given to me free of charge but having paid a fortune for MY device, I don't think this is acceptable.

Jeez dude, so much modesty for ****e things! I am a simple person, so the way I see it,
Fu(k Facebook.
There you go.
