Hello All,
I have a LG p500, which after reading blogs about updating the ROM, i tried pressing Vol Down + Home Key+Power button. After this the phone got resetted. I had rooted the phone earlier on stock lg rom. i had done previously some stupid mistakes and deleted the lg home.apk and the keyboard. So now i am without keyboard, but have access to calls, messaging and internet. But i am not able to download any apks because i am not able to put in my credentials for google.
Please help me, i am a noobie i understand that, shouldnt have done this also. Please help me installing the keyboard atleast.
Thanks in Advance,
Joe
you can find keyboard apks here, just search for them and you can install it with adb (adb push keyboard.apk /system/app/). you should do the same with a launcher (adw is open source so it should be easy to find it). sorry but I can't provide exact links now, but I hope I could help you

Hello XDA...
I have been a long leeching in this forums and this site really is helpful. but recently I stumbled upon a problem that I cannot solve myself. I badly need help so please... I need any idea to solve my prob... I would really appreciate any reply...
I have a 7" china brand tab named KATA Minitab7. I successfully rooted it (thanks to XDA) but did not installed a custom ROM. so It runs in stock ROM. It just happened that the "Google Services Framework" always force closes every time I connect to any WiFi spot and I can't download anything from the Play Store. I tried to Uninstall the "Google Services Framework" but I cant find a way to install it again (c'mon, laugh i know that was stupid) Then finding nothing much to do to resolve this, I factory reseted the device. and the bigger problem started.
After the factory reset, the device did not install a launcher.. when I turn it on, it loads, then the locker screen, with the status bar at the bottom.. when I unlock it, it's only the status bar and a black screen. The "settings" is still available from the status bar and when I go to settings->applications it detects nothing.. no running, no downloaded, nothing on sdcard.
Is there a way to install a launcher by connecting the device to a PC? or is there a bigger problem other than the device not having a launcher?
I am no expert in these fields but I can easily understand any instructions even if it is a little "geeky" (can't think of a better term) since I have a little background on programming. just please use human language ^_^
I would really really appreciate all the knowledge that I would learn from your replies... thanks to all...
(Hoping that it's not yet BRICKED T_T )

It certainly isn't 'Bricked' - but you are going to need to install either a Custom ROM or an original Stock ROM as it sounds like you have well and truly screwed the ROM on there. I suspect that the lack of a launcher is merely a symptom of your device's deeper problems.

In a very humane language, do the following:
1. open your cmd/terminal
2. Navigate to the folder where you put your adb(Example: cd c:\fastboot) , assuming that the adb file is put at a folder called fastboot at c drive.
3. Download a launcher(google it yourself, I don't know what launcher that you want) and put it at the folder where you put your adb
4. Type the following: "adb install <launcher_name>.<extension>". Usually it is like this: "nova_launcher.apk", "nova_launcher" is the filename while "apk" is the extension
5. Install it at your android phone.
6. Done :victory:
On a side note, is your internal storage empty(can be checked at settings -> storage)?
Hey Guys,
I'm having a couple of issues with setting up adb on my Linux Box (Xubuntu 12.04) I downloaded Android SDK and installed Platform-Tools. I've tried most of the methods on XDA but when I "./adb devices" I get nothing. I have a Micromax A87 which is a rebranded version of Mito A78 (Anybody heard of it???).
I would like help with another issue too. I recently got into theming, I edited some .pngs (not 9s) and compiled it, then signed it and zipaligned it but when I put it in /system/app and rebooted, it worked only partially. The one's with the default mode as RGB work, but the one's with the default mode "indexed" didn't. Does Anybody have any Ideas???
BTW, I use Gimp and I change the mode to RGB before editing them.
Thanks in Advance...

Might be worth reading this before starting another thread - [GUIDE] - XDA New User Guide - Getting started on XDA, I know you're new, you're obviously eager to do something based on your other thread, but keep this in mind, nothing you've got to ask (which so far) hasn't been asked or discussed many a time before, so if themeing is what you want to get into, click the second link in my sig, read it, bookmark it then try and put into practice what it is you're trying to learn, and if at first you don't succeed, starting a new thread to ask a question that you'll probably figure out the answer to whilst you wait for someone to reply with an answer you could have probably found by typing your thread title into Google, isn't going to speed things up or help you learn.
There are some links to using apktool with Linux in my guide btw which should be of help.
THANKS, XPERIENCED!!!
I already read your theming guide and about 5 others on XDA Forums and I decided to get a better understanding of Themes.
I still face an issue, I can't setup ADB! I've tried most of the methods on XDA Forums and everything I can think of, it isn't working. I did use Google, most of them simply don't work. My question is not "How do I set-up ADB on my Linux?", It's "I can't setup ADB, can anybody help me?"
*sigh* Can anybody please help me???
EDIT: Solved it, adb working now!
Hi
I rooted my phone today. Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570.
It went quite well. I deleted all the bloatware that I didn't want etc.
After all that was gone I starting disabling things that I thought was extra. At one point the phone switched off and didn't come on again. I rebooted it and when it did come back on the only things I can access now are the notification panel at the top of my page, my volume control and the power key. The screen has gone black. I cant use anything else now. Its obvious I've disabled the home screen or something.
What can I do, if anything?
Really appreciate any help. Thank you.

You have removed the "homescreen" (Launcher)
Do you have usb debugging enabled?
If so then you can move a launcher apk to /data/app
(if you need a launcher apk and instructions to do this then ask me )
if not then go find a cwm launcher installer (if you have recovery installed)
and flash that.
It will give you a launcher to work with.
If you need help with modding or removing apps, etc.
Then you can pm me so we don't spam this thread.
Use Samsung PC suite it will fix all the errors in your phone then root it again.

An apk is an application package for android.
The homescreen is the app that is run when you unlock the screen. (It is also known as the launcher)
You will need the drivers for your phone.
Which you can obtain from your manufacturers website. (Example: Samsung mesmerize > Support > downloads > driver.msi)
I have attached a zip file that needs to be extracted. (I put it together just for you )
Once extracted you must go inside the extracted folder and double click the start file.
Follow the instructions from there.
You will not need to connect wirelessly so just press enter.
It does almost all the work for you.
It's not a flash zip.
Its a script.
Go herehttp://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/GT-S5570EGAMET-downloads
Then install the kies from software tab
run that and plug your phone in with usb.
Then let it detect it and install whatever is necessary.
Make sure it has a connection then try my tool.
My tool is a Windows script.
For Windows.
Not Android.
Extract my zip and run the start file.
If it detects your device then let it fix your stuff.
It cant get any clearer than that. Really appreciate this. I just need to get onto the computer now. Will do it in the next 24 hours and let you know how I get on.

I have a zip here as an attachment. (The Cwm veersion of my homescreen Repair)
Don't use it without a backup in recovery.
You might have to disable signature checking.
Make sure you put the zip on the sd card of the phone.
Goto mounts and storage in recovery and make sure that /data is MOUNTED!
I repeat, Mount /data FIRST.
Then go flash the zip from the sdcard or adb sideload(>Haven't tested sideloading)
Reboot. Enjoy.
Update!
It doesn't work for some reason.
Can I get a dev to help me?
Bump.

Hey guys
I was fed up with my phone being extremely slow so I decided to root it (Sony Xperia Miro St23i.
I'm trying to delete the useless preinstalled programs but theres a million on it and so it will take ages.
Does anyone know an app (maybe?) that will auto delete the useless stuff in a safe way without turning it into a brick (just learned that term **** yeh!).
Also: I just wanna do 4 things a lot: use my gps program (daily!), call (daily!), send texts (daily!) and check emails.
Other than that I just wanna play games once in a while, and take some pictures. Any good tips to download? Not like unknown small apps u like but the main stuff I need to install now I rooted my phone (biggest reason I did it was so I could delete this preinstalled ****e tbh).
Please try and keep it in re-re language cause I'm a complete noob at rooting

For root, chect this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/general/xperia-miro-st23i-official-thread-root-t2038174
BTW, choose the methode based on your firmware (to see this, open setting>About phone>Check the bottom) :fingers-crossed:
And, for the app that you want to delete, you can use rom toolbox (use google!) and please ask me for the app your going to delete
Cos i'm afraid your going to make your phone bootloop (just kidding!)

[INFO] [QMV7B] [ELLIPSIS 7]
1. My apologies if this thread is in the wrong forum.
2.Not sure if my thread title is OK.
3. Am I allowed to post my link?
4.This site looks different and I can not seem find my answer.
Hi everyone, long time viewer first time poster in need of help. I recently deleted my system apk due to bad judgment,please don't judge. I can no longer access my system settings and with that the package installer no longer works. My tablet has been rooted, for a bit. I used the (kingo root) successfully.I do not have back up, I did find and download the apk sys files from a upper mod and now I need to enable via command to change the setting to allow installation of unknown sources .I do not know how to do that,. I am guessing that maybe that will FIX IT (crossing fingers). Any of the more experienced users know how to assist? I would love to have the stock rom, can't find it. Maybe there is a different method to do a complete restore that has all the files. My apologies if this is redundant request.
oh, I have already tried the hard factory reset and the system setting is still missing. I can't return, No warranty
Thanks in advance, and I can now stop the ugly crying.
I have the QMV7B ELLIPSIS7 4..2.2 rooted via KingoRoot.
thanks to (?) can't find your name.f for the link for system files I have.
I have a qr code on my photo albuma and my profile pic for the qmv7b system APK.
