I recently had an issue with my phone that recently caused me to have to reflash a rom. I flashed the Modaco stock odexed rooted rom. Now, I don't have any pictures showing for contacts in the Messages app. I've already tried the fix where you change the permissions on the /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files folder, but it didn't work even after a reboot.
I've also already tried wiping the dalkvik cache and clearing the messages app cache and data.
Any ideas?
Yes. There is a script that evil d added to his doubleshot port to glacier that I will add to later to my stock doubleshot rom.

I fixed it by nuking the com.android.providers.contacts folder and rebooting. After re-linking all my contacts, the pictures came back.
Where is that folder?

Nevermind I made a script and it works fine now.

I realize this thread is old as dirt but I recently did a clean install of the Bulletproof 1.0 ROM to play with again and after I ran fix permissions in ROM Manager my contact pictures weren't showing up in the messaging app. I remembered seeing a fix for this back in the day so I thought I'd post it here since it worked for me once again.
In Terminal Emulator type the following:
su
chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
It worked for me and if I remember correctly, it fixes the permissions on the contact folder.

For those who are experiencing Camera force close with Das BAMF 2.0-5, here's a fix for you... works for me.
My Sense 3.0 camcorder was crashing/FC after recording... but this fixed the problem.
This idea came into mind after crookshanks posted the HTCCamera.apk (v2.0): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14104147&postcount=27
I got the Sense 3.0 camera file from adrynalyne's Das BAMF 2.0-5 thread @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087617
...and extracted the HTCCamera.apk (v3.0) from the zip file and use Character Zero's tutorial to replace the current HTCCamera.apk.
Credit: Character Zero
I used Root File Explorer:
Go to downloads (or the file download location) and select Move or Copy
Go to system/app and in the top right side and click "Mount R/W"
Paste the item there
Scroll down and Long Press on HTCCamera.apk
Choose Permissions
Set the checkboxes as follows :
Owner : Read, Write
Group : Read
Others : Read
Hit OK.
Set the "Mount.." button at the top right to unmount.
Now you will not see Camera in the app drawer. Its ok.
Reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here is the working, at least working for me, HTCCamera.apk 3.0: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NTZEQO80
Edit: Be sure to clear the Camera cache and Clear data, after you have installed this file, or else your recording is gonna look all whacky! (Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Scroll to Camera and select it->Clear data->Clear cache.
Keep in mind, your Camera setting will be restored to default, so if you like recording in 720p, don't forget to set it to 720p in the Camera setting!
dont work on gingeritis.
Thx a bunch for this! Works awesomely! Mmuuaahhh!!!

I don't think its possible, as you need root to install it and there is no option (That I know of) in Astro to obtain root for itself.
i mustve done something wrong because after following the instructions i still get force closures after im done recording
You set permissions correctly then rebooted?

If youre running imo's latest kernel you shouldn't be having camera issues.

yes I did, I rebooted my phone then I cleared cache from the camera app
how should I start all over? should I just go to where I placed it and delete it?
this worked to fix the force close issues. any way to fix the horrendous buzzing/hissing sounds?
Ive tried it twice... still doesnt work and still get force close... I dont understand... Copied it to the folder... set the permissions (although all the permissions were supposed to put were already checked on mine), restarted the phone cleared cache and data. go into camera and FC..
NOTE: like you said after you move it to the folder, the camera is suppose to be gone from the app drawer, mine never dissapears.
I've tried this with 2.1 and 3.0 camera apks. also tried updating in cwr from zips. i was able to record and just got fc when stopping, but vid would save... now i get fc when opening vid camera.
Any ideas?
BAMF 2.0-5
Sense 3.0 Pre4
MR2 Radio
I can't seem to record video in dasBAMF 2.0-5 (MR2 Radio) either. I get a force close. Might give this a try; I'm really hoping somebody comes up with a fix.
I had the same issues then downloaded 2.1 camera and renamed it to HTCCamera.apk and used root explorer and place it in the system/apps directory. Changed the permissions to match when the original post and rebooted the phone. Works great with no lag and I am not over clocked. Running bamf 2.0-5.
Works great, thanks

Hello all,
I did some searching around and couldn't find the answer. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to pull the Phone.apk file from a CM build and use it in my rooted, but otherwise stock NS4G. The reason I want to is because CM's builds have a built-in blacklist app, that I want.
So what did was copy the Phone.apk from the latest nightly (22), and tried to installing it on my phone. It didn't work, and I just got the error 'application not installed'. And simply dropping it in the /system/app folder (overwriting the old phone.apk) didn't work either. I just got a lot FC's whenever I tried to open the call settings.
Is what I'm trying to do even possible, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Well. Contacts.apk is the one you want. And yes it will work. But you have to be deodexed also.

Are you deodexed? If so flash this
http://droidfiles.us/downloads/mikeyinid/Transparent_Dialer.zip
Its transparent but its the CM dialer. You can grab the contacts.apk from CM if you want and put it in the .zip instead, I personally have had issues when using the one from cM, not the transparent one though.

Failed again. I tried flashing it from recovery and it just says 'installation aborted'. I am running the deodexed build of Gingerbread, that I got from Pete's site.
I use system app remover you can get it in the market. After you install it you will find a folder called /SystemAppBackup. Drag your cm apks and copy them to this folder. Open system app remover app, click the menu button, and press "restore app" choose your apps and boom. Rom manager doesn't always work for me on this phone even when you set permissions. This has worked for me. Hopefully it will bring you luck

Didnt work. System app remover let me copy the modified apk over but once I did I could no longer open the dialer (app is not installed on your phone error). So instead of messing around this, I'll just wait for CM to go final.
Thanks to everyone for your help.

make sure the app has the right permissions when plopping it in the right folder. Root explorer is good for checking and setting permissions
I just switched back to CM RC1. Thanks everyone for your help.
OK, Here is what I have: I have a Samusung admire, Metro Pcs. New just rooted today.
I was removing all the metro crap (using titanium) when I deleted the MMS being I wasent using it, I use the go sms pro.
Well to come to find out you kinda need the mms that was installed on the phone, so now im trying to get it back on there...
Here is my issue I am having:
I go to system, apps and I see the MMS there, when when I try and install it, it says not installed. so I extrated files and tryed it again, same thing, of course Im not sure if Im doing this right. By the way I do open the superpermission on it.
What am I doing wrong, can anyone please give me advice on how to install this?
If you didn't make a Titanium backup of your stuff before you started removing things, you're out of luck my friend and it's factory reset time for you
If you ever have doubts about removing things using a program like Titanium, pick the 'freeze' option instead of the 'delete' option. This will halt the process and stop it running in the background and consuming memory, but you can 'unfreeze' and restore it to normal should freezing cause issues.
No such luck with deletion, of course
Let me know how you get on. Good luck!
Try asking someonee to upload the mms apk

That's weird. I've deleted the stock MMS.apk tons of times without a single problem
Do adb push

After this set permissions to chmod 644 reboot and your good to go :thumbup:

Do you mean your paid apps are missing? If so make sure you setup your Gmail account and accepted the terms of agreement in Google play. If you did then go to your application settings and clear out the data for your cache and everything. Then try to try out Google play again
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Do you mean the apps that are included in the stock ROM like Nova, NFS Shift and the T-mobile apps? Those are never included in custom ROMs. You can back up the games with Titanium Backup and the restore them after flashing a new ROM though.
There's also a thread on the Apps board that links to a lot of the APK's required to return to stock.
I mean like Facebook Pandora and stuff there missing from the market this used to happen back in the old days but I have two different phones with cm build this us happening to my HTC vivid is just fine

Gonna get the stupid question out of the way first... You're signing into google and setting up your sync account and opening GPlay and signing in right? I"m assuming the answer is 'yes'. So... while I think for a sec do this for me...
Go to your Terminal app. Type this:
Code:
pm list packages -f | tee /sdcard/list.txt
...runs...
Code:
exit
Now go to any file explorer and browse to /sdcard/list.txt and open the file then copy the entire contents and either post or pm to me (or email the whole text file to me here).
I'll reply on the thread to keep it going. Then we'll go from there.

No its not just the apk thats needed for it to work the Lgmms apk needs lgTelephony for mms sms etc thats why you cannot use the one from SU760 iCS thats why i added it to be deleted in updater script along with messages apk as it will fc and services.jar is modded to disable apk uid signatures needed in order for package manager to allow apk to run now you can pretty much pull apks from any other device without worrying aboud uid mismatch error
Now i understand why there is the message's bug...because despite the apk the lgTelephony for mms sms is from SU760...however thanks for your great work! Now i can't test this new fix...however i will!

Locate LGTelephonyKrOemProvider.apk in /system/app and delete it
Locate Messages.apk also in /system/app
Copy the apk's from ZIp
Reboot to Recovery i use CWM dunno about TWRP
Then in CWM mount system
then
adb shell
# rm /system/framework/services.jar
in another cmd prompt
adb push services /system/framework/
back to shell # chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar
if you wipe data it work with no FC now the thing is the Old Messages apk left some .db database file which causes it have SQL errors hence the FC cant remember the exact path as i Just cleared the data just post Logcat so we can track down that db file and delete it.

It is in data/data/com.android.provider.telephony/databases/mmssms.db you need to delete it.
Optimus G is also working. It is very nice. Has themes And popup. I used telephonyprovider.apk from optimus 4x and G mms.apk
I can upload here so you can add it to first post.
So what you need to do is as defcomg said before:
Download zip, extract apks an copy them to /system/app/ before that backup and delete original message.apk and LGTelephonyKrOemProvider.apk. Set permissions to rw-r-r then clear data for LGMmms3.apk from /settings/app setings. Then go to data/data/com.android.provider.telephony/databases/mmssms.db and delete it.
Reboot.
