IMS Service won't stop stopping - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

I recently used flashfire to flash a debloat zip on my g930a. Since I did this I have been constantly getting a "IMS Service has stopped message" message on my phone. I've tried disabling message backups as suggested from googling but it doesn't help. What can I do?
EDIT: The zip I used appears to have been intended for phones running android 6.0.1 while I'm running 7

Try adb. I used it to delete imsservice.apk from /system/app

I don't have a imsservice.apk in /system/app I did do a hard reset which seems to have significantly decreased how often I get the message
EDIT: after rerooting I now get the message just as often as before

I have IMSLogger+ and ImsTelephonyService I don't want to delete one of those if they are important. There does not seem to be any imsservice.apk however

Are you able to get on root explorer and looking for it. When i had that problem i just deleted anything that had ims and everything was fine. Try that.

I'm really new to this so this might be dumb to ask but when I go to /system/priv-app/ and try and delete something (using the adb shell and the rm command) it tells me its read only. What do I have to do to remove it?

# mount -o rw,remount /system
∆∆put that in adb

I ended up just flashing a stock rom which fixed the issue. Thanks for the help though!

Can't delete Apps (A2SD)

Hi,
Ive got a problem. Yesterday i did the update from Dude 1.1 to 1.2, first without wiping, but then the G1 reboot when i want to download an app.
So i wiped it and it works fine. INternal Memory is 355MB free.
Today i wanna delete the APP SMS/MMS because i use chompSMS, but the G1 says that it cant delete. ("Uninstall not successful" "SMS/MMS could not be uninstalled")
So what could i do?
Thanx for ya help
if im not wrong in saying this, the stock sms mms program needs to be on the phone. chomp doesnt get your messages
it gets them from the stock messaging app.
Not sure what you're trying to uninstall (haven't heard of an app called SMS/MMS). However, if you're trying to remove the application "Messaging", you can't. Just disable notifications in the Messaging program and use chomp as the default.
Its the same with this Amazon Mp3 app, i cant uninstall it, what do i wrong? Or how can i get this app off my phone( dude 1.2 full)
You can't uninstall those programs..

If you are using a G1 build, its in /system/app. Remount the system partition and delete it from that directory.
Yeah great, thanx for ya help.
But now I now i'll gonna be beaten for that question, but can you explain me what you mean with 'remount the system partition"?
I've looked it up with ASTRO Filemanager and its really in /system/app, but i cant delete it from there, if i want to it says again "error deleting file".
Just searched a bit around and found the remount command that i know from a2sd, so i think i have to go to Terminal at G1,
#su
#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#rm com.amazon.mp3 /system/app
Is this right? So then i'm gonna eating my shoes But i think it isnt so i ask you before i delete complete G1
Or is it enough to remount with that command above and then go with ASTRO FIlemanager to that directory and delete it?

Yes, you remount it that way (or with DroidSans) and rm the Amazon file. I would still recommend against deleting the messaging one though.
I tried it this way, but it says error "Read only file".
I think i just let it on the phone and try to ignore that app.

use this code to remove amazon
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm -r /system/app/com.amazon.mp3
that will remove amazon but removing messaging will make your system EXTREMELY unstable and most likely unusable
The problem was that i don't add the Fileending ".apk"
Thanx for ya help, tubaking182. It worked with your Command with adding .apk
Got the next problem, now i want to delete the Messenger App 'IM' but even if i do the same with 'amazon mp3' it says rm: cannot remove '/system/app/com.android.im.apk': No such file or directory
So what i am doing wrong, i tried it with "rm -r /system/app/com.android.im.apk"
"rm -r /system/app/com.android.im"
And many more but i get ever the same output -> No such file...
That means theres no such file...doesn't exist.
IT might be named IM.apk
Mh you're right!
I dont know how it tells me 'com.android.im' in ASTRO Filebrowser, and why i could delete it with IM.apk
With AmazonMP3 i have also to write: com.amazon.mp3.apk
Doesn't matter, THANK YOU for the fast help
amazon
spend a couple bucks and get root explorer, it is well worth it, and then its very easy to delete anything after that.
Wait wait let me get this right ... with root explorer i could avoid the whole going to terminal and typing all that code and just simply delete the apk from root explorer program and thats it >?
Can it really be that easy ... tell me thats the case
Also when you use the terminal code or the root explorer method ( if it can be done like that) when you go to applications in the phone menu to view list of apps you still see the amazon mp3 app in the system .. how do i remove that also

Replacing system .apk with another .apk?

Does anyone know how to replace a system .apk like the camera or something with another camera.apk? I cant install it the conventional way and pushing it into the folder doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions?
Are you remounting before pushing?

I dont think so, its just that when I try to replace something it just copies it into the directory without installing. Maybe its supposed to do that?

You need to remount. /system/ is read-only. adb remount makes it writable. It might say it's pushing things to /system/app, but it's doing nothing,

My /system is writable, its just that pushing the file there doesnt install anything, like Im trying to install the friendstream widget, but I cant install it and pushing it into the /system folder doesnt install it either

If you aren't remounting, it isn't. And you can't push it to /system. The phone isn't looking there for anything. Push it to /system/app.
I can't remember, but I heard FriendStream has problems on our phones. You have to have a ROM that actually supports it. I'm on Darchdroid, so I can't use it anyway.
check out my signature for adb commands devinextreme is right some roms don't support friendstream
First off, I would recommend pulling your current one off of the phone if you are trying to replace it. Then remove it from the phone and then push it onto the phone into system app. You might also try deleting the current one on your phone and then using the install command instead of push.
And yes, the friendstream app will only work in certain ROM's because of some modifications made to make it work with our phone.

Our on the right path so far.. But the way I've always used adb I kinda dragged everything to the tools folder...I have the library and everything else there...try putting it on our tools folder and see what happens if not check the platform tools.. Just drop the map apk and try it out.

Hmm.. even root explorer.. that's strange you mean mount R/W to R/O in root explorer..
from my end i first did c:\androidsdk then was able to adb push etc...what i could suggest is wait for the signed version.. am on samsung galaxy t989, am at work, i can't really access nothing right now to check with you...i have my mytouch 4g at home...i know you have root access because you said you were able to backup and uninstall using titanium backup.. so i guess you have root access...but try the mount r/w to r/o and see what happens...

You can make the system r/w.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
i know that's not the exact code but it works just fine for me.

If you merely try to install a system application....the chances are ..it will fail....what you have to do is manually push the file into the /system/app folder and you are good to go

You have a PM.

lost all permissions after messing with platform.xml

Hello,
I have SM-N9005 variant and recently I updated to the latest android 4.4.2 leaked version with Odin, and then rooted with CF-Auto-Root.
After that, I lost the permission to write to external sdcard.
I searched and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49603814
I backed up /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and then I followed the instructions there.
After restart, a lot of app stopping messages showed and I had no access to file system or network anymore.
I used adb shell to restore the original platform.xml but it didn't helped in any way.
It seems that all mounts and networks are working, but none of the applications has permission to use any of them.
How do I resolve this, without wiping all my data?
Thank you!
You need to set the correct permissions on the .xml after you overwrite it back into the /system Off the top of my head I can't think what they are (just out of bed and got to work so still sleepy!)

I tried 644 and 777 but the problem persists.
rw-r-r which is 644 - read wrong
or chmod 666 -- forgive my lack of memory, it has been a long time since I have used chmod commands, few years since my glFTPD / site modding days.

i dont know if it helps in your situation but did you try the "fix permissions" from a custom recovery like twrp?
there are also scripts you can execute in a terminal, the knoxout script linked in my sig for example has a permission fixer included.

just type sh kn0x0ut.sh to get all commands.
if you dont get this working, you can do it from twrp (i think cwm too)if you have it.
tap on "advanced" and then on "fix permissions".
