Initially I used Titanium Backup to remove My Files, because I thought that it was worthless compared to Astro. Now I found out that the alarm clock uses it to browse for files. I don't want to switch to a different alarm clock, because the free versions typically lack a key feature that the built in one has. MyFiles is not restored upon factory reset and the apk won't install. I see the package for it crossed out in Titanium Backup. Is there anything that I can do to reinstall it? Thanks in advance for the help.
Edit: I found that Ringdroid can save files as an Alarm which is convenient because I usually cut my files before using them as an alarm.
When you want to use an alternate background it doesn't ask you which gallery app you want to use to choose the background. It uses the stock gallery app which sucks ass and causes banding in the wallpapers. When I had my Droid X it would ask me which gallery app I wanted to use. Is there a way to set it up so it defaults to Quickpic?
EDIT: Oops. I meant to post this in the Q&A section. Sorry guys.
not sure if you got this resolved, but i had the same problem and a google search led me to your post (i have an evo and probably wouldn't have stumbled here on my own!). . . and your post pointed out what the actual issue was (the stock gallery app problem), which led me to try the following which was successful: if you're rooted, use titanium backup to uninstall the stock gallery app, then set your wallpaper with widgetlocker (it will use whichever other gallery app you have) and you will have an unbanded high resolution wallpaper! if you want to, you could restore the stock gallery app with titanium backup after and your widgetlocker wallpaper will be none the wiser! survives a reboot too!
I installed Khal's MIUI ROM successfully. But there is no Desk Clock on the Home Launcher pages. I used the "search" button on my phone and type "clock" so I can found it and use it.
But is there any method to make a icon on the Home Screen for quick use later. Please help me. Thank you.
Is there any solutions. If you don't know just let me know, or you guys look down on me.......
You can use MIUI clock widget and just click on it to launch the clock app. Alternatively you can use a different launcher.
You can try going into manage applications & clearing the cache and/or data on Launcher2
im pretty sure the clock app is in the tools folder on the home screen. my phones at motorola getting fixed so i cant look right now.
@CrystalShield no one looks down on anyone here. well at least they shouldnt. we have all had problems and it never hurts to ask. thats why we all come here, for community support
@easye420: I am sure that when I install the ROM of Khal of MIUI in this link. There is no app call "DeskClock" on home screen. I can list them here.
Page1: Gallery, Camera, music, Settings, Root Explorer (it's mine) , [Chinese something] and Theme manager.
Page2: Some Google Apps, facebook, memory, overclock, fast boot, twitter, and FM Radio.
page3: Wireless tether, Voice Search, News and weather and some of my apps (because everyone know our apps will stay at the end the these)
But I also use the "deckclock.apk" in /system/app to run the Clock. But i want it stay on my screen. I try use Shortcut, but when I click the shortcut, it "open App Manager" (like when we try to Run a APK file in ASTRO) and I also need to click on "launch" to run the app. It isn't what we want when we try to make a shortcut for an application, is it?
@3rdstring: I did, but it restore to original (still don't have it on Home).
Is there any solution for me.
By the way, Thanks all you guys very much. English is not my first language, if there is something impolite or immodest in my words. I'm sorry.................
And I am also newbie of this forum, so I don't have enough 10 posts to post and ask in the Development Box. That why I disturb you guys here. Sorry about that.
Reinstalling the app works. I just move the apk out from /system/app and install it as if it's another use app.
I have the same problem. Copying and installing doesn't work as the app has 0 bytes (!) and I always get the parsing error-obviously
If someone could upload the original with its proper size that'll be lovely.
Thanks.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I removed the DeskClock.apk from /system/app. But when I use the "search" button and type "clock". It's still there (and of course it still can be used). I have no idea about where the real app is.
It's really weird for me.(of course because I don't have enough knowledge)
This is what i do to get deskclock app to show on the screen.
1)Using root explorer copy the deskclock.apk from system/app to sdcard.
2)Using root explorer again delete deskclock.apk from system/app and in data/dalvik-cache look for [email protected]@[email protected] and delete it.
3)Restart ur phone.
4)install the deskclock.apk from sdcard and the app should appear on your screen.
Use launcher pro. Its faster, sexier and will show all your applications!
I have pages of apps on my schi535. In 4.2.2 these show as apps you load from the apps page instead of the home pages. I would like to get rid of the ones I don't plan on using again. Titanium and superuser file utilities have not expunged these. Please tell me how to get them completely gone. Thanks!
settings - apps - find apps to unisntall - click - then go to uninstall
you can also do this in titanium backup as you said. not sure why it wouldnt work for you.
using nova launcher its even easier...long press - click uninstall. or go to app drawer - long press - drag to uninstall.
Apologies if this has been posted before, I tried to use the search feature but it was giving me an error saying it was temporarily unavailable.
For some reason any downloaded images to my phone (into the folder Downloads or otherwise) are not showing in the stock gallery app? I've tried force stopping the app, clearing the data and cache but still it doesn't want to show the new images
The files aren't corrupt and can be seen in ES File Explorer perfectly fine and I've downloaded Quickpic to see if they show on there, which they do.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Yes, happens with me all the time... it gets sorted out by itself.. give it sometime. Refresh gallery from the 3 dot menu in gallery and stay put!
I use QuickPic as my default gallery app... I find it the best!
