1.6 SemcIME

Can someone give me the older semcime from 026? I already asked for it, but I got some non-installable HtcIME crap
Thanks in advance

taken from generic x10a

Hey, umm I managed to delete this from my phone, but this version won't install. Does it have to be specific to the firmware?

you may need to enable "Unknown Sources" to be able to install apps that are not from the market. Make sure you have a file browser (EStrongs File Manager is good and on the market), copy the apk file to your SD card using a PC. open EStrongs and browse to the location. install.

Oh, it doesn't work :'(
SemcIME is already in the system
I need the old default keyboard back, or a very similiar. Are there any?

[Q] Market Downloading Problems?

i was downloading the game Samurai Vengeance II, but when was installing, an error : " Unknown Error - 18" came out. Any ideas whats this error??

I had that issue a few times when downloading games on 2.2. ROMs. The simple fix is to unmount your sd card, download the app and then remount after. There is a more complicated way to fix the issue altogether I think.

It is a well known error with froyo. Connect your phone to computer in usb-mass storage mode. Make sure you computet can see the hidden files. Open your sdcard and open the .androidsecure folder (the period before the folder means it is hidden). Look for a file listed smnn...something, it is the only file in there that would look out of place. Delete it and unmount from your computer. Then redownload and it should install. Google unknown error 18 and it will give you the specific file name. Been awhile since I had to do that, so I can't remember it exactly.

Yep. Delete that and you are good to go. If you flash a new rom or move in and out of your backups and are using native Froyo app2sd, it will come back and you'll have to delete it again.
What rom are you running? If it is one of Kahl's, then you can use Link2sd or app2ext and avoid that problem completely.

[Q] Is it ok to delete apk files after installation? Please read further.

Hi. I just found out that apk files are kept in the device after installation of the app.
I just recently downloaded a file explorer app and I found out that the apk files of the free games which I downloaded and installed from android market are kept in this folder:
/mnt/asec (I'm using Samsung Galaxy Ace)
There are individual folders for each game, and in each folder are a lib folder and the apk file. For example:
Fruit Ninja folder (which is found in mnt/asec folder) contains a lib folder and an apk file.
Fruit Slice folder (which is also found in mnt/asec folder) contains a lib folder and an apk file.
My question is, is it ok to delete these apk files? Will the games still work?
Also, can I send these apk files to someone else via bluetooth so they may download the apps without having to visit android market?

yeah you can delete the apk file after installing any app for it to still function, I do it all the time. Yes you can send the apk file to your friend so they can install it. If you're still cautious, try doing a trial run with one apk file...send it to your friend first, then delete, see if it works.

The .apk files are like setup files for windows. Once installed, you don't need the apk, especially if you are backing up with Titanium or similar backup program.

follow up question
Hi. Thanks guys.
Is everything from the android market ".apk"? Is it possible that some have a different extension? I downloaded a dictionary app, I can't be sure but I think it's a .zip file.
Thank you.

I tried to delete the apk file. It cannot be deleted.
However, I copied it to my sd card, uninstalled the app, re-installed it using the one already in my sdcard, and it installed just fine.
I still want to be able to delete the apk file that is in the system though (/mnt/asec).
Any ideas or do I just have to deal with it?

I agree with deleting it won't be a problem but sending to a friend?
sometimes I think there would be a message stating that its not sign
correctly.. correct me if I'm wrong Thank You

WillShaka, like I said, I tried to delete it. I can't. Not allowed.
I don't know why. I'm using ES File explorer

not sure if this works but have you tried unmounting the sd and delete?

Also, and I don't mean to veer out of topic (this question is often ignored in Q&A forum), if I use Odin to upgrade my stock firmware instead of using Kies, will it erase all my data? I have a feeling it will...

Yes, you can delete the APK after installation. But the APKs in /system/app/ need to stay where they are to function appropriately

Help Restoring Rom

idk what happend i did same thing yesterday and it worked fine. i was running CM7 and then i wanted to try paranoid android build 8, now my problem is i wanna get back onto CM7 to use titanium back up to back up all my apps. i used rom manager and clicked back up rom and copied it to my laptop now to restore it i put it back onto the root of my SD card and in CWM when i click restore it doesnt show up anymore, i cleared all the data and everything before as well any suggestions?

Not at root. It's somewhere like clockwork mod/backup. Look for the clockwork mod folder in your root directory.

i found the clockworkmod folder but theres nothing else in there should i create my own named backup? i put the update.zip in there and now when im in recovery>backup and restore>restore it says "no files found"

Lol... well first off you should never use ROM manager to do anything except RENAME your backups. Don't use it to flash anything or backup anything.
If you did a proper backup it would be under sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and it won't be a zip file. It'll be a folder of the date and time you backed up, and inside will have about 5 files some ending in .ext3 or .ext4.
Reboot into recovery manually next time, never use ROM manager for our phone.
I'm sure you lost all your stuff from your old ROM... don't know what that update.zip could be. If anything you can try backing up your current ROM the RIGHT way then in recovery, after you back up, just go to flash zip>and flash whatever the update.zip is... maybe it's a ROM? I don't know.

well i guess i lost my CM7 :/ everything on my SD card is gone now guess im sticking with paranoid android 8 thanks for the tip though ill keep that in mind next time. and where does it say flash zip? o.o in CWM?

clicked install zip from sd card and picked update.zip and it said it installed and then when i run it it just goes too the same rom i was on but everythings erased(i cleared everything before flashing it)

If the update.zip were a ROM it'd be about 85 MBs... yeah guess it's all lost :/.

If you have the March V21Y baseband installed, try this:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/lgforum.com/...pdf?1337877028
That's a hyperlink to a pdf from LG which contains a hyperlink to its V21Y Gingerbread update utility which works with Windows 7. I tested it and it works.
1. When you run it, after the update window appears, open Windows Task Manager with Ctrl-Alt-Delete and locate the program named "Download Window" and right-click on it and click on "Go To Process".
2. Right-click on the "SmartFlashTool.exe" process and click on "Open File Location". That will open the folder "All-in-On" where all of the files for the V21Y Gingerbread update are located.
3. In that folder there's an application named "LGUnitedMobileDriver...". Run that program to install the drivers then, after the drivers are installed, close the "Download Window" which first appeared on your computer's desktop.
4. Run the "SmartFlashTool.exe" program located in the "All-in-On" folder you previously located and opened through using Windows Task Manager.
5. Follow the instructions in the pdf file you accessed when you first started this process ( http://s3.amazonaws.com/lgforum.com/...pdf?1337877028 ).
Good luck.

It will wipe CWM and unroot. I first used Titanium backup, etc. to reinstall my apps but I wasn't using an ICS ROM, I was and still am using Gingerbread with Faux kernel and some tweaks. After you run the update utility, you will have to root your phone, reinstall CWM, reinstall your ICS ROM, reinstall your apps with Titanium backup.
I've attached the pdf file from LG which is referred to in my previous post. The pdf file is what the hyperlink in my previous post is supposed to open in your browser but, if it doesn't, it is attached here. Just follow my instructions in my previous post with those in the pdf file which includes the internet address where the update utility is located.

Accidentally deleted bluetooth

I accidentally deleted bluetooth. I flashed(?) the stock recovery found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/general/twrp-recovery-root-blu-pure-xl-allview-t3269447 and had no luck. I also tried factory resetting it. Any ideas on how to get it to work again? Whenever I try to enable bluetooth I get the "Bluetooth share has stopped working" error.

Do you mean you uninstalled one of the Bluetooth apps in System > Advanced Settings > Apps > All?
If so, please use some sort of root explorer app (you have to be rooted first) to navigate to either /system/app/Bluetooth or /system/priv-app/Amigo_Bluetooth and install whichever .apk that appears to be not installed. I believe this should fix your issue.

Interesting.
I've uploaded my /system/app/Bluetooth folder here. Could you please download that, extract the folder inside to somewhere, and either:
Push the folder via adb using the command adb push Bluetooth /system/app/ while your command prompt/terminal is in the same directory where you extracted the "Bluetooth" folder (cd DRIVE:\your\directory\path\Bluetooth (Windows) or ~/your/directory/path/Bluetooth (Linux) ).
or
Transfer the extracted "Bluetooth" folder to either your microSD or a USB Drive, plug it into your phone and move the folder to /system/apps using your root file explorer app.
Finally, install the Bluetooth.apk inside (which I'm assuming is the one you uninstalled since it is missing).
Let me know how it goes, thanks!

Can you check again? Make sure you go to your system folder from your phone's root directory. It should contain almost all of the default apps installed on your phone when it came out of the box (with the rest of it being in priv-apps).

I have the exact same problem as the OP - I tried downloading the said file but my phone says the file is corrupt - can someone please send an updated version?

Same problem, file corrupt.
Bluetooth got erased because the system detected that the app was sending sms by itself (or so it said) and thus deleted it. I have the same problem as the one above, the file seems to be corrupt and can't install the .apk
Please, if there is another way to solve this say so.

Same problem...
I have the same problem as above, my phone detected the SMS permission and said it might cost you money and recommend an uninstall. I never realised I would be able to uninstall Bluetooth without being rooted but it did it anyway - maybe it's an android bug?
Anyway, I tried downloading your Bluetooth.apk and reinstalling but it said file corrupt.
Any help would be much appreciated! Sounds like this is a bug that's been going around...

Hello, I cant find the Amigo Bluetooth folder in /system/priv-app. So Can anyone please provide me the folder here
Also any other solution for re enabling the Bluetooth

following this thread will allow you to reload the factory rom to default settings, including all factory apps and files. this is a "OEM reset"
to the fullest, bringing phone back to factory sent condition. (be prepared to do a few ota updates when done)

I dont know yet if a simple apk via adb could fix the problem here instead of flashing the complete device

Fixed
Hey, I had a look elsewhere and found a forum on the Lenovo website (can't post link here), hopefully this will work for you too.
Basically you want to go to Settings>Apps>Reset app settings and that'll do the trick.
Good luck!
