1st Pst!!! I encountered an issue, wiped everything except my SD card, installed the primary ROM and other .zips needed for Cyanogen then installed OpenEclair 1.2.2. So, I'm a virgin again. I do not have a populated dictionary database, though. By 'populated', when I type a text message, the only words that are auto-suggested are from my Google-synced contacts or words that I have previously saved. I searched XDA completely and could only find references to dictionaries, besides if someone wanted to delete saved words. I also tried to restore a backed up dictionary with Backup for Root and that didn't work, even after a restart. Can someone provide the database and where/how to push with ADB? MT3G w/ Ra's 1.5.2?

I don't have an answer, but this needs to be posted in Q&A. good luck man!
Moved To QA
I've moved this to QA.
Proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. It was loaded with bloat so I rooted it. All was well until yesterday when the following issues occurred......
1- The gallery opens and says "no items" when there are pictures there. I can see the thumbnail image but clicking on that only opens a black screen.
2 - I have no audible notifications. I get an error message "process com.android.mms" has stopped and force close.
3- I cant update any of my programs. The updates/reinstall download hangs and never connects. error message " process com.android.vending" has stopped then force close
I was careful to only delete files associated with the bloatware but may have deleted something very much needed.
Any help is greatly appreciated and apologies if this is posted in an incorrect thread.
stupid question, have you tried a complete reboot? Taking battery out and putting it back in?
aside from that it sounds like if that doesnt fix it then you removed something that the system needed...if noone can come up with anything for you a hard reset may be in order..
and this should be moved to general or q&a forum.
Hope you get it fixed!
Pulled battery, sim and sd. Done reset with T-Mo on line and Samsung tech support. Thanks for the reply. Will move post.
I would do a factory reset man, Is not a big deal. Sounds like you deleted a file that shouldn't have deleted.
Try to only delete apps and not system files.
I don't recommend deleting "com.android" files unless you know what you are doing. If you didn't delete any file that begins with "com.android" or similar then it means you deleted a file that try to invoke those files.
If you want to hard reset your phone go to Setting>Privacy>Factory data reset.
Hope this helps
@Moshe22 -- I've done 3 factory and data resets with the same results. sadly that doesn't or didn't add my missing file/s that I may have deleted on accident.
Thanks for the reply.
If that is the case and you have done the 2 types of reset, the one described in my previous post and the one where you enter into recovery mode then i would advised to flash your phone with one of the ROM's in this forum. That should fix it. Make sure you research alot before you flash your phone.
1. Duplicate post
2. Wrong forum
@Toshonobu --
This was already pointed out so it was moved to the correct forum. Can't help people being polite and answering on this forum as well.
Thanks for not offering any advice and just pointing out my posting error. Cheers
Just do what Moshe22 said.
There is a stock rom and the kb5 enhanced in these forums, so take your pick.

I recently purchased the Evo Shift 4g and i have perm rooted and have been able to flash to the supreme sense rom and back to the stock rom successfully. Mahalo for all the information that i was able to gather here to help a newbie like myself!
I had my shift programmed so that it will work with a local carrier here in Hawaii, MobiPCS. I am currently trying out the supreme sense rom now and so far so good. I have a few questions and hopefully, i didn't miss a post that has my answers.
1. I am using one of the cool lockscreens (Weather). How, if possible can i change the actual text, specifically "Sprint" that appears above the clock?
2. I can no longer gain access to EPST. ##3282# no longer works. Is there another code? I already have my MSL#. I am guessing that my first question must get the "Sprint" from data in the phone?
3. Voice Mail notification is the only thing that does not work. It did not function with the stock rom either. The only way i can get a notification is to run an app VoiceMail Notifier. Do i have any another options? I am assuming the sprint voice mail has no bearing on my voice mail service from Mobi. I don't understand if the flag to notify the phone is being changed to inform of a voice mail, why the phone natively does not send a notification. (Yes, the voice mail notifications is All turned on).
Not too sure if its okay to post multiple question in a single post, if not, i apologize!
Mahalo (thank you) for taking the time to help me!
Well, I can steer you in the right direction for question #1. Check out this post by one_love_420. I can't help you on #2 and #3 though. Sorry.
for number 3 would google voice help in anyway to help get notified when you get a voicemail?
To solve your EPST problem download this APK HERE
then it should work
BTW:Credit to Strapped365 for the link (which COULD be found in his second post on the Supreme Sense thread. .)
and if i knew who originally posted the EPST.apk a LONG time ago id five them credit here

Well bubbaearl steered you in the right direction for the first answer. Later on in that same thread there is a flashable posted up.
!!! MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU FLASH ANY MODS TO WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK BEFORE YOU FLASH !!!
HERE is the exact post.
As for the ESPT issue THIS should take care of it.
Your Voice mail should be working regardless of carrier. I would contact your current carrier, and ask them to help resolve the issue. They shuld be able to resolve the issue with you on the phone.
Mahalo to prboy1969, notsointeresting, bubbaearl, & youngcorruptionV2.0 for your help!
I'll ..attemp (lol) to do as suggested by the links provided to deal with question1 and 2.
As for the voicemail issue, the actual voicemail does work fine. its just the notification (visual, sound or vibrate) to let me know that there is a voicemail to be retrieved does not work (both the stock and supreme sense rom) As i mentioned, i am currently using Voicemail Notifier to resolve the issue, but i thought the actual phone would be able to notify me without a 3rd party app.
Unfortunately, google voice does not provide a number here out in the Pacific Ocean! but thanks for the idea...
I'll report back if i'm successful regarding the other stuff.
Again, mahalo for taking the time to help!!!
Did you follow THIS guide before flashing your Rom.
prboy1969-
Yes, i did exactly (3x's) what the guide mentioned except for the skipping of the setup...I couldn't figure out how to get out of the setup so i just cancelled/skipped to the end (hope that was okay).
I also flashed back to my stock rom (to get the magic smoke live wallpaper apk, and to back up with Titanium Backup some apps that i missed the first time), then i followed the instructions again. Both times, the voicemail notification did not work. I had a difficult time installing the Magicsmoke live wallpaper but with some help, i was able to get it going. btw, supreme sense rom so far is pretty cool.
Got the "Sprint" removed and replaced with my text! Thanks for the info and the link. very cool...
As fpr #2, the epst, the update(thank you for the zip) did not address the issue. although i guess i don't really need it since i thought i had to change the info here to resolve my issue #1. Just for my info though, why does it not work anymore? wouldn't you folks want to be able to change settings from there? btw, i did wipe the davlik and cache before installing from sd/zip. (installed from boot recovery)
As this is my FIRST android phone (always had a windows phone) As i am getting more familiar with this rom, installing the apps, etc. any other suggestions?
i did partition my sd 8GB with a 1gb ext3 as i flashed with a2sd. However, i didn't see the app in the drawer, and i wasn't sure if that's right? than i noticed any app shortcut (not sure what you call it, one of the home screens) that i installed on the SD, after reboot, the shortcut had a generic icon, rather than the app icon. (just noticed this). when i move the app back to the phone, then after reboot the icon appear fine!
I know i read many posts stating to follow the guide before flashing, and i did!!

To fix EPST you're going to have to run RUU. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Also I highly recommend using FAT32 for partitioning an sdcard or just letting Clockwork Recovery do its thing.

You can also try THIS for the ESPT. For whatever reason sometimes you have to try a few different ESPT apk's. Also one other thing to consider is, since you flashed to a different carrier ESPT may not be available. Not sure who MobiPCS is asssociated with. But either way, no you don't have to RUU to get ESPT working again . Unless of course you want to start the whole process over.
When you use A2SD you do not have to move the app manually to the SD Card. I take it that's what you did before moving them back to the phone? A2SD takes care of that automatically. Although it appears the app is on the phone it is not. Also you can post up on the Supreme Sense thread with all your questions. We'd be glad to have you post up .

I've had someone had EPST corrupted and the only way to get it back was RUU. Nandroid first of course, run RUU then restore Supreme and it works fine.
Yes, i did format the remaining partition fat32, also set to primary.
As to the ruu, i hope not! However thing to note is after flashing to my the carrier i use MobiPCS, I had already perm rooted my shift and getting into the epst to change things that needed to be changed was done (I purchased the phone used off ebay). So, i'm pretty sure flashing to my new carrier had no impact on being able to use epst. However, upon flashing to supreme, no access.
I will try the other link (thanks prb1969) and see if that resolves the issue. Jus curious but for all the others that have flashed to supreme rom, they also have the same issue regarding EPST? Just to make sure the access code is ##3282#, then call...right?
The a2sd..i am a bit confused. (Supreme rom with a2sd flashed) if i understand the reply, a2sd moves the apps to the sd (i assume the ext3 partition) yet it still appears to be on phone? is that correct? Also, a2sd will not in the app drawer at all? (i couldn't find it)
So, i guess what i did, screwed things up? I installed a2sd, it then reported many apps on the phone, of which i did start to move to SD. (thats when i noticed my shortcut (app) icon issue.
Again, mahalo for your help Vicodan and prb1969. I originally wanted to post my questions...pleas for assistance on the supreme sense thread, but since i am a newbie...I couldn't. From what i understand, not until i reach a certain level?
I'd be happy, well, sort of (realizing i would have go through the setup process again) to start over (revert back to stock rom or reflash the supreme rom) if you all recommend that....
Anyways, i'll try that new link for the EPST. will report back..
Mahalo
thanks for the new link for EPST prb1969, however no change..i did wipe davlik and the cache before updating. No errors encountered during the update.
in the dialer, i input ##3282 but when i add the last #, the numbers disappear.
I'll wait to hear back but i thought i might try to restore back to stock rom and see if ##3282# still works (it did the last time but before i flashed supreme)
If you have a Nand of the stock Rom, Nand back and check to see if ESPT works. As for the posts I believe you need at least 10, before you can post on other threads.

Hey VICODAN just for the record if you RUU back to stock. You can't just restore a Rom afterward . RUU equals no Root .
nand back to stock rom. Yes, EPST worked. copied epst.apk to sd. flashed back to supreme a2sd rom (clean).
will apply lockscreen banner update along with the magic smoke wallpaper..
Can i copy the epst.apk that i got from the stock rom and paste into the /system/app folder?
or do i need to something else first?
and btw, after flashing back to supreme a2sd rom, epst does not work
Don't know if this is the same EPST.apk you've used, this works fine on my phone running SSV8 A2SD with dodge kernel ext4. Hope it works on yours...

Ok I'm back lol ha-ha with a fresh build station, man i don't know why you can't use epst, because all of us SS users can use it fine I'm not to sure about the metro users or not, and this has me stumped because SS is basically just a modded out stock ROM so i dunno but we will all try to do what we can to get you up and running as you see here
Shifted to the extreme, cause I rawk Supreme
Mahalo for the update file rhodiggah. I'll report back to see if it works.
also, can i use the epst.apk file from the stock rom, rename the existing one in the SS Rom, and paste into the /system/app folder?
do i also need the odex file?
btw i was able to get the magic smoke live wallpaper to work by copying the apk file from the stock rom, copying it into the ss rom and correcting the persmissions, and it worked. I didn't copy over the odex file. while it works, i read about what the odex file does, and now i'm wondering if i need this file also. the wallpaper seems to work fine.
Also, an update on a2sd, yes, it does move installed files to the SD card ext3 partition! lol. and i didn't install a newer version. (Since i started over again flashing SS) which begs to ask, what happens when there is an update to a2sd? I"m guessing there is a way to do it?
Again, can't say it enough about how helpful you everyone has been in helping a newbie out!!!

however, it assumes the reader has previous knowledge of wtf they're talkn about..
I read further in the post "I have sent this to Koush as well to have it added to Rom Manager" - so I ran over to market and DL'd Rom Manager, but now I can't find the file ..hell I even googled "I downloaded from android market, where's my file" and no useful results come up ffs xD - so then I find this thread (yay) - but I can't afford to buy an app, here an app, there an app, everywhere an app app - so are there any free root explorer type applications? -ALSO- how do we mount our device as R/W? ..as it seems every single tutorial I come across is ambiguous

1. Never use Rom Manager! ever!
2. Root your phone and then make a nandroid backup through recovery then flash whatever you want and make another nandroid backup and so on. There are enough Roms here that you really do not need to worry about a stock back-up but, as always it is good to back up everything. Trust in the THE BIBLE as it is your friend.
thanks for actually reading my post :rollseyes: lol
1] ok.. but I DL'd it, where is it so I can delete it? lol
2] already did, and I already found the bible (thx tho)
the problem is these tutorials and guides are ambiguous, and all of them assume you have prior knowledge of what their talkn about.. pretty much , no, exactly like the last
few statements of your own post "then make a nandroid backup through recovery then flash whatever you want and make another nandroid backup and so on" = lolwut? :/
I can't make a backup because.. well, read my 1st post again lol

1. setting/applications/ROM manager/ uninstall
The rest would take a full page post. If I were you I would just go straight to GingerBread and do not worry about trying anything with Froyo. For that go here GB starter pack and follow the well detailed directions and if still confused I will do a step by step for you for GB. The aforementioned guide tells you what to get and where to put it and what to press. The technical knowledge will come in time after dealing with Roms, kernals, flashing, etc. You don't really need to know anything other than what files to use, where to put said files, and what buttons to press and that will get you rooted and Rom'd. Before your rooted and Rom'd you should learn what does what and why and that will take a lot of reading and time but, if your impatient like a lot around here you can always learn after you've rooted and Rom'd your phone.
thanks for your replies swann, underneath my amagad, I do appreciate it lol
ok so.. I DL'd RM last night, but apparently it didn't install because it's nowhere to be found...
it's not in my apps, and idk where DL'd files are stored so I can delete it (it's not on my SD either)
anywayz, before I do anything else, I want to make a backup of my out of box Froyo
(and idgaf if anyone thinks I should skip this part, I still want to do it =)
and in order to do this, I went here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
but since it doesn't fully explain the how to's, I went here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508
but then I don't have root explorer, and can't afford to pay for a bunch of different apps, therefore, I need to know of a trusted/stable/free alternative - and I also don't know how to "mount my system as R/W"
...and when I google it, nothing helpful comes up.. or is that something indigenous to root explorer? (which wasn't explained, because as I stated, all these so called tutorials are ambiguous)
wait.. is it me or do I seem to be repeating myself? *scratches head* lol
I have all kinds of patience swann, I can do all the research and studying that's needed without qualms - as I know exactly how it is.. I own and operate a forum which specializes in teaching kats how to mod the gta series and how to model in 3d applications.. and we home grow some of the most talented kats the gta modding scene has ever been blessed with ...but that's because all of my tutorials are concise and clear and leave nothing to guess - as are my answers to everyone's questions - so when I ask a question and nobody answers it, but thinks for some reason that they did, I tend to get a little uh.. how should we say.. urhrhr towards them because they're obviously wetoded or some shyt lol
anywayz, assistance would be greatly appreciated..
1. Are you rooted? If not, you will need to do this first.
2. ES file explorer is a good free alternative to root explorer, you will have to go into setting to allow for system files.
3. You would be better off just downloading a stock Froyo Rom and using that as your back-up but...if your wanting to do it your way you will need to be rooted and for that you will have to read because I took my phone out of the box, plugged in USB to the computer and installd GB before even setting the phone up so I am not sure of the process of flashing Froyo or if it even differs from GB. After that I will be happy to help you when you get to point of wanting GB.

I believe the problems arose from using the leaked KJ6 items. I have not had any problems using anything related to KJ6 items built from the source. When you get to the GB flashing/Roms and such and have any problems just let me know.
