Hello there, I recently flashed the S7_or_S7_Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip (found in this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 ) to my phone, which caused the message "IMS Service has stopped" to continuously pop up no matter what I did. I then followed a guide and deleted the imsservice folder in the /system > app directory of my phone, which fixed that problem. However, now I often get notifications saying "SIM Card is full" and I have to go in and delete messages from the SIM card. This is quite the nuisance, so I was hoping that somebody could possibly post a backup of the imsservice.apk for my device or point out some settings to change that will prevent messages from being saved to the SIM card? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I recently installed an app that made my phone go into SAFE MODE -- So I uninstalled the app and realized messaging was gone. So I did the Clear Storage function and started from sctratch.
Oh -- I am using the Dopod ROM with GPS
Now once I started steeing my phone back up again, I noticed my "Memory Card was Locked" message when I directed the email attachments to be stored there. ALSO when I look at the Storage card memory in the SYSTEM/DEVICE INFORMATION screen -- it shows that my old stuff is still on there. But File explorer cannot read them.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Thanks in Advance!

When you do a "clear storage" it resets your device, but it doesn't erase your external storage card. The best policy is to take out your storage card, save the important files on your PC, then reformat it. Do your "clear storage" hard reset without the card in the device. This way you are sure that you are starting fresh without any old problems hanging around. You can then copy back to your card any important files, but not old messages...this is asking for trouble.
Thanks Matterhorn. I wound up purchasing a card reader and reformating the card. It took a while but I got everything up and running.
After doing a couple of soft resets recently some of the icons in my start menu stopped working. These were the ones that relate to programs stored on my memory card. The icons themselves became white boxes with blue title bars and the programs could not be started from them. The same thing happened to the same icons in the programs folder at the bottom of the start menu (next to "settings"). The programs in question remained on my memory card and could be started by navigating to them. To solve the problem I reinstalled the programs succesfully BUT the blank icons remain in my start menu. When I go to Settings/Personal/Menus and try to remove them from the list of Start menu items I get the message "unable to move that item". The coloured icon representing the successfully reinstalled program also appears in this list. My Trinity now refers to my memory card as Storage Card2 where it was just Storage Card before all this. How do I get rid of these dead icons? Also is there another way to solve the problem of memory card programs that become inaccessible in this way, other than reinstalling them again? I have been unable to find relevant threads. All help gratefully received.
Thanks, Midgeslayer
did you try
\windows\start menu\programs
?
you shouldnt have reinstalled your programs in the first place. You should have just renamed your storage card2 to storage card, so windows can find the programs again. How? Look here:
http://www.gadgetme.com/?view=1&showMore=121
Your 'Storage Card 2' problem indicates a serious fault with the OS, usually as a result of a storage card corruption. These are known issues on P3600 and P3300 devices. It sometimes occurs if you elect to store messaging attachments, or the PIE cache on the storage card.
The blank icons represent the OS thinking 'card one' still exists but the programs are missing. As Rudegar says, you should be able to remove then using a File Explorer.
However, the only sustainable fix for the card error is a hard reset and reinstallation.
This usually happens when you unhide the Extended ROM. That`s what causes the storage card to be renamed. You should revert to the previous setting of ExtROM (hide it back), than do a soft reset.
Good luck!
Thanks
Thank you for all the advice. I got rid of the dead icons using a file explorer as suggested so the immediate problem is fixed. Doh! Why didn't I think of that? I confess to not entirely understanding the rest of the advice but if this problem occurs again it gives me a good place to start some research. Thanks again.
First, I apologize for the length of this post, but it is necessary in order to explain the problem and hopefully allow a solution to be found. I had a problem that occurred a while ago that I believed to be related to the push e-mail/xpress mail functions on my Cingular 8525. The problem was as follows:
I was encountering very slow program responses across the board one day after having made some changes to the push e-mail settings. At the time, the push e-mail didn't work, but rather, I had to resort to timed updates. The first push would work, but the log showed that all future attempts were rejected (manual retrievals worked fine).
I have a 1GB miniSD card and while trying to figure out what was causing my general slowdown in response, I noticed that the card was filling up, for no apparent reason and no files were being added. I popped the card out and put it back in and everything was fine. After every soft reset of the device, I had to go through this same procedure in order to keep the card from filling up. I eventually decided it had to be something wrong with xpress mail and I uninstalled and reinstalled it, which fixed the problem with the miniSD card filling up. Unfortunately, there was still 250MB of space on the miniSD card that was "missing".
After a tedious process of going through every file and folder on the storage card and verifying file sizes by copying files between the computer and phone (I'm sure there is an easier way, but I couldn't think of one) I found what I believe to be the culprits. On the storage card there are a number of files and folders located in Program Files, Cingular, Xpress Mail Settings folder that cannot be removed, copied, or renamed. The file and folder names are a combination of wingding type characters, gobbledy gook that kind of looks like this +z;n+-+, Iio-0!Bt, and kd0N-E.,Ca. Even the letters I have typed normally here are not the normal forms of the letters, but rather contain tilde's over them or oomlots (umlots? don't remember the spelling), or other foreign language use characters.
If I try to delete the file or folder, I get an error saying that there was a problem deleting the file named [insert file name here]. If I try to rename the file I get an error saying "A file name cannot contain any of the following characters: \/:*?"<>|" even though the name I am using for the renamed file does not contain any of those characters. In addition one of the files says it is 3.50 GB in size and another says it is 1.02 GB, which obviously isn't correct given the fact that the card is only 1GB in total size. All that to say, it appears that I have a plethora of corrupted files that I cannot get rid of.
I have tried deleting them from the computer through the connection to the phone, from the phone itself using file explorer and from the computer using a card reader. I get essentially the same errors every time.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
Just as tedious, but have you thought of copying the good ones with the correct file structure to PC. Reformat card and then put back the good ones?

Reformatting
I will give that a try.
I’ve been using the following soft that deletes any file www.pathtoolong.com. It is not free, but it is good.
Ok, so I've searched and i cannot find anything out there on how this can be done for this particular phone. The issue is my phone will not read ANY sdcard anymore.
I'm not sure what happened but no matter what sdcard i put in the phone, it could be blank or have files on it, the phone displays "blank sdcard" in the notification bar. I am trying to get it unrooted so i can send it in for a warranty replacement. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried saving the info on the card first and then reformatting the card before inserting?
Place the files on /data/local
These folders have read/write access with out root privileges.
I recently received my new S5, I rooted the phone, and also bought a 32gb external sd card. I realized that with KitKat 4.4.2, google has prevented apps from writing to the external SD card. I looked up workarounds to this problem and came to this:
trendblog.net/fix-kitkat-sd-card-write-restriction
I applied the fix to my phone, editing the platform.xml file, rebooted, and realized that my INTERNAL SD folder has now been wiped clean and is now empty. A lot of apps stopped working, including youtube, google, samsung keyboard etc, with the message "unfortunately <insert app name> has stopped". In particular, the MyScript Resource Manager constantly stops, and gives me that message. I am unable to go online either even though am able to connect to wireless and data networks.
I have tried different ways to solve the issue, including factory reset, and flashing stock rom, but my internal SD folder remains empty.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue?
I've just had the exact thing happen. We're you able to fix?
