[Q] This may be the wrong spot. But please help with MMS!! - General Questions and Answers

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
adb push MMS.apk system/app
After this set permissions to chmod 644 reboot and your good to go :thumbup:

[Q] HELP!!! This is almost making my phone useless!!!

Well i have got this strange situation here...
Basically a few days back i've downloaded some download manager from the market and it doesn't work!!
so i go to the uninstall app and just uninstall it... next i want to change my home so inorder to clear the default Sense UI Home set on my HTC TATTOO I go to the manage applications and it force closes!! and when i go to market i'm not able to download any app...it says DOWNLOAD NOT SUCCESSFUL!!
this is really annoying and after that i find out that my browser is also not able to download anything... so i'm not able to do anything....please can anyone help me out???
Thanks in advance!!
Have you tried a battery pull?
yeah it doesn't work....
Sent from my HTC Tattoo using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Sounds like the app had rights it shouldn't have. What was the name of the download manager?
If I were you I would backup all your the you've downloaded and then do a factory reset, maybe try wiping the cache first before you do it though.
I assume you're not rooted? Otherwise this would be an easy fix.
Name was...Download Service!
I did reset to factory defaults...now everything is working fine...and yeah I've rooted my phone...
Can you please tell me the best way to backup data

How do I change phone.apk

I have flashed Darky's 7.7 for the captivate (awsome rom), and I would like the original phone app back. The rom has the phone app with the video call buttons and I would like to have it without.
I realize this is because it is based on a I-9000 rom, but any help would be appreciated.
Sent from my Roger's Captivate with Darky's 7.7 using XDA App
What u do is download another rom where u like the phone app. Then put that file on ur sd card.
Next get rootexplorer and change the top to r/w.
Finnally find the phone file that u just put on ur sd card and copy/move it to /system/app. It will ask to overwrite, just say yes.
Sent from my Rogers Captivate using XDA app
Thanks, do I just use Phone.apk or Phone_Util.apk and PhoneErrService.apk.
Thanks again.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Just use phone.apk
Sent from my Rogers Captivate using XDA app
Yup, cant get that to work, just a couple things force close and the same dialer remains. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
The only thing I can think of is try new phone.apk, phone utilities.apk and phone error(something).apk
Sent from my Rogers Captivate using XDA app
I think I might have to make a update.zip and install with clockwork recovery.
Pretty sure you're also going to need DialerTabActivity.apk for this to work properly.
Use caution though, I got my phone stuck in a bootloop trying to do this exact same thing and ended up having to re-flash the ROM.
I'll try that tonight when I get home from work.
The keypad is in DialerTabActivity.apk. You'll want to follow the same steps above to copy that over the current DialerTabActivity.apk in /system/app/. The Phone.apk controls the screen that comes up when someone calls in or when you're in a call.
Hope noone minds unburying the thread. Is phone replacement a way to fix the problem with the phone app losing phone call even when I press home button?
I am not sure if this is the rooting of my nomu s10 that did that, but otherwise, the apps are working fine.
Thanks.

I'm not sure if the OP is a troll, or just stupid... How hard is it to give ACCURATE information on what you are trying to do.
Trolled. Perhaps.
Troll or not , I have had this issue when trying to update apps. I haven't really figured out what's causing apps not to load. I get "app not installed, no usb or SD card found".
Ill be vague just like the op. Here's what you do clear cache and defaults on the market.

Yeah, I've had the same problem, but usually just trying to update the app again works (at least, for me).

I get it when the download interrupts and the file is corrupted. So it can't install. I usually just redownload and its fine.
Try unmounting ur SD card, then installing. I had a problem awhile back with specific apps and that fixed it.

I am having the same problem and it is driving me insane. I have cleared cache in the market. I have rebooted, reflashed, reset to factory, Took out the SD card, put it back in, unmounted it, booted without it.
It doesn't matter what rom I flashed as I have tried several. I just restored my phone with CWM to a backup I made right after I first rooted and the market still doesn't work.
Are you rooted?? Its most likely a bad previous install that needs to be removed first which can be quite troubling because some show that they aren't installed when in actuality they are just not properly. IF YOU ARE ROOTED try using Titanium Backup Root to remove the bad install.

yeah, I am rooted. have been for a while. I have flashed and used several roms/ kernals etc. The thing is, even if I reset the phone to factory it still does it. I went into Titanium, what or how do I find a bad install?? Is there something to look for?

Possibly the ROM's included the app but have a bad install inside the ROM. I seen this issue with a couple apps specifically FLASH PLAYER. Which app are you having issues with?? When in Titanium Backup go to the Backup/Restore section and it should show all of your installed applications..scroll to see if the application you are trying to install is on the list...if so uninstall it. If this doesn't work its possible there is a previous apk file on your phone of this app which is corrupting the download which can be removed with an app like "ROOT EXPLORER" unfortunately it costs money. To do that you would venture into the system/app folder and delete the apk file if in fact there is one in there. To check to see if there is one most file explorers will allow you to go into these folders but you cannot access anything.

I have Root Explorer. Thanks. seems this is a common problem after searching google. No know solution as everyone has got theirs to work doing something different. I have not made any backups with Titanium as the roms I have used auto re-installed everything. I am wondering if it has something to do with that. Any time I flash a rom now, it says "starting download" for all my apps in the market. They never start though.
it's working now. not sure what I did though. I wiped everything and flashed BAMF remix (what I was using originally) and when I went through the setup I did everything like I did before. Only thing I changed when swapping roms was I would not set up my HTC account in the setup.
I'm not rooted (yet!) and I've been having the same problem with the market for the last two days. Probably half the apps I bought/downloaded hung on authorizing. When finally authorized it took quite a while to download and show under my apps. One took almost an hour to show up. Email notifications were also delayed. Tried clearing the cache but that didn't help...

[Q] Launcher Problems

I would like to start by saying this is entirely my fault but I would be very grateful for any help.
So, I downloaded a custom launcher called touchwiz 4.5 onto my phone and everything was working perfectly until I decided to open up root explorer and try to change the name so it would run in the background instead of TW3. So I did it but when I pressed home it asked me which launcher to use and I selected the wrong one and the set as default was checked. Now, I am stuck without a launcher so I can not open anything at all to fix the problem.
I will be extremely happy if I do not need to buy a new phone and thank anyone in advance.

Left Soft Key -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Find & select the TW4.5 launcher or whatever in the list -> scroll down to Launch by default -> Clear defaults.
Thanks, but there is one thing I forgot to mention earlier. I cannot access the main screen because I receive force close messages while the phone is on, and there is no delay between them so I cannot even use it. I was thinking maybe there is a way through the computer.

You have a root so you gave cwm recovery, correct?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Look up Odin in the Bible. You can use it to restore the phone. If you can make a backup of your micro SD onto a computer. Other than that if you deleted your launcher your phones gonna keep FCing on you. Cool thing to try to delete though.
ADB Push the apk(s) back over?
Your best bet would be to just go into CWM, create a NAND backup, Odin a new ROM, and advanced restore your NAND's data. That should clear up everything.
Using ADB is not that easy, especially when you're new to all this stuff.
Everyone should be forced to learn.basic adb commands before being able to root their phones for problems just like this.

Google Voice Recognition Problem

hi i have ICS RC7.4 installed with a VKL1 modem flash to be used on tmobile.
my problem is that the google voice recognition keeps showing me the tutorial/welcome screen instead of going directly to the voice input screen which means i have to press the microphone button before i can talk ..ohh how frustrating. i checked the settings but there is no option do disable the welcome screen. interestingly enough this behavior seems random sometimes the tutorial screen comes up sometimes it just works like it should.
Is anyone else experiences this or knows how to fix ?
thx - phil
If you are running a ROM then you should ask your dev to include GV as sys apk
Or drag the Google voice apk to the system folder before you flash it and not bother the dev with something you can do yourself.

thx for the replies.
is there a way todo this without flashing? or can i just "re flash" my ICS over the current one with the apk in the system folder without loosing any settings/data.
litte noobish here sorry....i made the swap from iphone to droid like 4 days ago. so far i have a custom rom, flashed modem, rooted and unlocked.... its a steep learning curve and im loving it!
There's a way to do it without wiping but it's complicated and youbhave to fix permission and stuff. I think if your custom rom has a no wipe update you could put it in that one and flash that way. Always backup before modifying.

or you could just copy and past the file from your /data/app folder to /system/app fix permissions and reboot. (you might get fcs as you do this if so reboot then fix permissions and reboot again)
