[Q] How to use stock LG gallery on rooted phone - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone.
I locked some files back when I was not rooted and on stock rom, then I rooted by phone using a resurrection remix.
Since I am not on LG framework anymore, I can't use LG Gallery app as far as I know.
It lets me install directly or through adb, but I still can't get it to work.
I even tried installing it as a system app, but still no luck.
Does anyone know how to use LG stock apps without lg framework?

Have you tried to use APK Editor from the playstore? There are threads on how it works, but you're basically opening the APK with the app, hitting a "manifest" then saving, then installing without actually editing anything. For most of the stock apps it works, esp Gallery and Music. Let me know if you have trouble getting it to work--I'm not familiar with that ROM, but I'll try to help.

Wish I could help but Google Photos and FOTO are the best gallery apps anyway imo

LG G2 Disaster

So I got the LG G2 F320s Korean variant. I used one click root method and everything was going fine. Then I wanted to further remove bloatware by uninstalling system apps and I accidently removed something called "Multitasking" via an app called Root Uninstaller. Everything was still fine but then I noticed that some system apps including, Dialler, Messaging, and Gallery all stopped working it would force close as soon as i try to launch them. I freaked so i downloaded third party replacements but i wanted to fix the problem so i decided i'd do a factory reset thinking it would remove the root and bring everything back to normal.
Boy was i wrong! Because I had most of the stuff either removed or frozen and had mostly 3rd party apps for everything, now I can't even use a keyboard to sign into google, or have a navi bar to get around the phone! no back no home no nothing! The phone is practically useless. I need help please. I wanna reset it back to stock with or without root it doesn't matter but I need all the stock system apps and tweaks back up and running.
Help me please.... someone..... i beg you....... my G2...........:crying::crying::crying:

awesome this is just what i need downloading right now hoping it works. Do you know if I could revert to European stock rom instead of the initial Korean one? I have the Korean F320s, it would be cool if i could flash the D820 Stock rom instead.

[Q] After Lollipop update the play store will no longer download or update anything

As the title suggests the play store no longer works on my g2. It is not rooted or modded in any way. Ive tried clearing the play store app along with google play services. That didnt work so i tried to factory reset still to no avail. Someone please help before i throw this crap away.
I'm afraid the same was happening to me, I went back to KitKat and installed CloudyG2 since I was on it.. You could also restore a back-up made using the LG PC Suite.
Good luck!
So i would have to go back to kit kat before doing the backup? And how would I go back to kitkat exactly?
Guess I was replying too early in the morning and wasn't awake just yet Let me explain:
If you would have updated to LolliPop using the LG PC Suite, it would've asked you if you want to create a back-up of your current installation. I meant you could restore this back-up.
If you don't, I've got another idea for you. But I gotta work this out first. Haven't got much time to do this right now, but I'll get onto it later if you want.
That would be great because i have no backup from kitkat so unless i can find a way to fix this im gonna have to get a new phone probably. I cant use 90% of my apps right now. Only google chrome, calling, and texting still work
Could you describe exactly what the Play Store does btw? Does YouTube still work?
For me the Play Store was just showing a blank screen and nothing else.. Just gotta be sure if you've got the same issues as me.
Youtube works fine for some reason. But the play store is working. I can see all the appd and everything, just whenever i try to update or download an app it just continuously says downloading and moves the bar non stop without any change until I stop it. Ive tried wifi vs data and have even let it try to download an update for google play services for over 24 hours.
Hmm that's another thing than I experienced.. But still flashing another ROM could be a solution, if you're fine with that.
However, I'd suggest you back up your current installation first. Either using the LG PC Suite or using a custom recovery. I personally wouldn't go through the hassle of installing a custom recovery when there's another, easier option, but that's up to you.
This is the way I flashed it back to KitKat (and afterwards to the Custom ROM Cloudy G2)
And pay attention, if you use this and something goes terribly wrong, it's at your own risk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 (I used the KDZ Method)
If you've done that you're set to either flash a Custom ROM or keep your device on stock KitKat.
This is optional however, but I did it because I just like to experiment and tweak my phone
Let me now if you need any further directions, for example installing a Custom ROM
Having the same problem here too. After updating, can't use the Play Store. Tried cleaning cache, data and even removing Google account didn't help. Btw, does all your apps work, especially the ones downloaded from Play Store?

(Q) Can I delete Stock Samsung Gallery

I'm using G530H running on lollipop 5.0.2. I think I'm a fan of sony's stock gallery and I don't think having both of sony and samsung stock gallery in my grand prime would be efficient. So I'm thinking of deleting the stock samsung gallery. Will it be okay? I mean will it cause bootloop or any bad effect for my device?
If you delete or freeze the stock gallery app, whenever you take a picture and you wanna see it inside the camera app, the camera app will ask you to install the gallery stock, and in some cases the camera app will force close.
Hi,
its a rooted device ?
but first, How U can install a stock gallery from S... ?
cheers
Thank you for your answer
I got the mod from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-xtremevideo-media-youve-seen-t3174158
So, You got a root and recovery? Don't delete a stock gallery from Samsung....after install this magic stuff touchwiz gonna ask U about which program use for opening any multimedia files. You're talking about bootloop etc. Nothing special can happen, just whole system can be unstable systemUi can force stop etc. BUT It's only hipotetic
Well even if I finally decide to delete it, I'll make sure to do the nandroid backup first. Anyway, thanks for warning
One more thing. Make sure that backup files on sdcard. Guy from my job uninstall many programs from stock-rooted Sony And system has stop just like he need make a wipe. And backup was on phone memory...

Google Lollipop Dialer on stock ROM?

I prefer Google stock apps over Samsung apps. I'm on the latest stock Lollipop for the Sprint Galaxy S4 and rooted. I've tried 3-different apk files and none will install. I've tried copying them to /system/priv-apps and setting permissions to 644. 2 don't even show up, and 1 that shows up force closes immediately. Anyone know of one that works, or a way to make one work?
I would prefer to stay on stock ROM.

Galaxy s4 Kitkat4.4.2 rooted

I have a Galaxy s4 Kitkat4.4.2 rooted with dr.phone removed all the bloat ware with TitaniumBackup Pro.I tried to flash to 6.0.0 using odin3_v3.12.5 which failed, see screensots for the errors. I tried other andriod versions including the factory one for this phone all from: androidmtk.com/download-samsung-stock-rom. I have not been able to flash any roms with odin not even custom roms. Any help on this is appreciated! After that I had a problem with samsung keyboad and had to do a factory reset to correct this. Afer which all the bloat ware I removed was no longer there after the factory reset. How did this change of unistalling apps go to the recovery rom? I want to be able to integrate all my additional apps into the rom. Used Titanium pro to convert a few programs from user to system aps such as esFile exsplorer and airdriod, also to integrate updates into the rom. I still need to learn some things about TitaniumBackup and how I use it to make a recovery rom built into the device.Also looking for a video player free of ads that allows you to make playlists, and continuously play videos, and be ableto run in the bkrd w/o stopping play while doing tasks such as texting. These are the issues that need the most attention for now.
There is no Android 6.0 for the s4 and you cannot flash custom ROMs with Odin.

i actually have a s3 mini with the same kitkat os that is on the s4 and have been using that for trial and error stuff. after i posted that i did a factory reset and learned that with titanium bkup i made a few up system apps and made an update.zip which has the removed bloatware and the couple apps i made system apps. airdriod did not retain its log in info which is something i want so if someone stole my phone and did a factory reset i would still have access to it and be able to locate it. i had vlc and 321 player installed but both of these do not continuously play videos. i did find xplayer though that plays continuously, runs in bkrd, just as i was searching for.
