So I am running TPC V3 and I really miss my Memo application. How do I get it back without re-flashing? I have extracted it from the stock dump but it will not install so I am probably doing something wrong??
Push it through Root explorer!
OR dload titanium backup and see there if you can reinstall it from there.

Can you please walk me through how you did it?
I have memo.apk. I have tried running it to install it, pushing it to system/app, changing permissions, rebooting etc., but it keeps FC'ing.
A step by step would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
All I did was copy it to /system/app and then I had to reboot. After reboot it worked fine. Maybe try a different memo.apk possibly the one you have is bad. I think I got mine from my Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE and used that one. I can upload it if you want to try it.

I went to the Tab 8.9 forum and did not see an LTE stock ROM, so an upload would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
UPDATE - Never mind, I got it working.
What I like about it is I can create memos with it from voice using the Samsung Voice Command and Voice Talk apps, useful when driving.

Ok, here i have tried to port the stock gingerbread launcher, tell me if it works or not, and if you think its good, hit the thanx button.
thanx for viewing
When I try to install, it says that the app doesn't was installed, so I went to Root Explorer, and I put it in /system/app and change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and the problem was solved ^.^
Thanks a lot

My LG Optimus one, running offical cyanogenmod 7, and rooted. Using es file explorer, as it worked for my galaxy gio.
Edit: JUST wiped dalvik cache, do i need to do something else? ie delete ADW launcher and replace with launcher2?

No definitely do not delete the real launcher. Dalvik shouldn't be causing the issue as its just cache. Sometimes this happens, the app just doesn't work. Um...try a different app, although es file usually works on all my devices. Or...you could tty flashing it although I have no idea how to make a flash able zip.
nice one for backup
I've searched several forums on multiple sites trying to figure out how to root my gf's Huawei mytouch 4G. Any suggestions or ideas?
I'd like to know as well
You can root it here

Cool! Good job!! Can't wait for my wife to get home so I can try it on her phone (she'll kill me if I brick it though!)
edit: Actually I'm kinda scared to try this. Looking at the .bat file though all it does is appear to fastboot off an image, it doesn't push any files on until the root is complete. Is this correct? Meaning if for some reason the initial boot/root attempt fails, I should be able to recover?

It doesn't actually flash the image permantently, simply boots off of it once. Once you reboot its gone off the device.

I did it, it worked like a charm. You are my HERO!
Edit: Now the work of removing bloat. I hope I don't remove the wrong thing and end up unable to boot. I'm afraid to remove some of these builtin TmobileMall and TmobileContacts type things. Some stuff like Slacker I had to rm by hand, Titanium backup couldn't do it -- it was installed in /data/app and /data/data but was a system app. Titanium backup could back it up but when I try to uninstall it couldn't find the apk. System app not located in /system. Wierd eh? Anywayz I'm afraid I'll blow away the wrong thing and won't be able to boot so I'm being cautious....

When you install an update to one of these apps lets use the, yahoo mail on for example, it will show in the /system/app or /data/app. The problem is the apk before the update is in /cust/t-mobile/us/app which is read only and unable to be mounted as R/W and that is why Titanium backup is unable to uninstall it.
I have tried moving it and deleting it manually with no luck. I have not tried through ADB yet but may give that a try next.

Tried JellyBam for a while, and really liked its touchwiz launcher. I want to install it in another ROM I'm using (CM10 nightly) but can't seem to make it work. I managed to pull the apk and data from jellybean via titanium backup, but can't find a way to put it into CM10 properly. Tried restoring from TB, manually put it in system/app and set permissions + reboot, and installing it as a normal apk. No method worked, it always force closes, even after "fix permission" from CWM recovery. So can anyone recommend a way to make it work?
I attached the file here, supposing it's not warez.

For some reason the Camera app on my galaxy 2 10.1 keeps throwing an error when I try to launch it.
It says can't connect to camera and I just get to close the APP.
I tried rebooting the tablet - it didn't help. Also tried clearing the cache for the APP and it didn't make a difference.
Running SlimKat rom 4.4.4.
Can someone shed some light for me on how to fix this issue?

Sometimes (this worked on a different ROM for the 7 inch version, but its worth trying) installing Google camera to system/app and removing stick camera works (always nandroid backup first so if something goes wrong you dont have to reflash.)

Clean flash Kitkat, can't recall if the camera worked or not when I first flashed it but I'm pretty sure it did. So it just randomly stopped.
Where does one obtain Google Camera? Right in the playstore?
And can I just uninstall the stock Camera app using the Dev tools of the rom?

Yes, google camera is in the play store. It actually probably does not need to be installed as a system app. Idk what tools are in SlimKat ATM but I've always just gone into es file explorer as root or used root explorer, mounted / and /system as R/W and deleted the camera apk from /system/app. Then just wipe cache and Dalvik in recovery and reboot. This may or may not fix the problem, but it worked for me. Again, make a backup first.

Don't install it with package installer. If you installed it from the Play Store, cut the apk from /data/app and move it to /system/app and change the permissions to the same as the other apps in folder. Google camera shouldn't matter though.

google camera is not compatible with our tabs....even if you do get it installed its pretty useless IMO. Grab your ROM zip and go into it and find your camera.apk. unzip it to your sd card and then go back in and long press it and reinstall it. It may (did for me) work that way. If not try another (different) ROM. Grab zip file go in and find the camera apk under apps, unzip and then reinstall. NOTE: for me, I had to go into Titanium and completely remove the camera app that i had and then do the above procedure. I trial and errored it and it worked for me. Finally
Edit: and yes, please nandroid backup b4 trying anything

These forums have been invaluable to me. You guys amaze me. If you could help with this, I would be forever grateful.
Phone: Verizon Galaxy S3, rooted, CM10.2
Problem: I have suddenly run into a problem where only some of my apps (1) do not retain any of their data after a reboot and (2) do not stay frozen (I've tried freezing with Titanium, Lucky Patcher, Root Uninstaller Pro, etc.) after rebooting (they do keep their data and remain frozen until I power my device off). ONLY the apps I installed on or after about two weeks ago have this problem (i.e. apps installed before that do not have this problem). So basically every time I reboot my phone apps installed over the last two weeks look like I've never used them (for example, a notepad app that I used extensively before rebooting shows no notes).
Solutions Attempted (without success obviously):
1.) Uninstalling problematic apps, rebooting phone and reintalling
2.) Doing a full factory reset via CWM recovery, wiping all caches, and restoring a nandroid backup that was taken before this problem arose.
Question: Is there anything that I can do to resolve this problem or do I need to get a new phone?
Thanks,
Jenna

That's odd... I use titanium backup myself and they stay frozen unless I defrost them. Do you use the free version or the paid version of titanium backup?

That's odd then. I also use the pro version. Maybe instead of freezing them rename the apk files to .bak instead of apk. That might help

So I tried the re-naming of the problematic apps from ,apk to .bak (and then rebooted), but the apps didn't appear in my apps list after rebooting and when I went into the google play store it showed that it was not installed -- am I doing something wrong (I used root explorer to do this)? Or is there anything else you could possibly think of to fix this problem? It's driving me crazy!
