[Q] Removed settings.apk and did a Factory Reset. - General Questions and Answers

Hello guys,
First things first, I am new to Android. So I don't know much about the technical stuff. I own a Micromax A45 Superfone Punk(Gingerbread)
So, one of my friends linked me to install a new settings.apk and it didn't work. So I installed my original settings.apk
It was visible in apps2sdk like it was just another app. After a few days, I made a factory reset and boom! My settings.apk is not there.
I cannot install root explorer or ROM manager because apps outside of the Play Store are not allowed, and I cannot change the settings oc because I don't have it. -_-
Wifi or data connection is not working so Im unable to install them from the Playstore too.
Please help, I was gifting this phone to my brother, but now this happened
(XDA Dev is not allowing me to post the link :/) (Leave me a message at [email protected], I will be able to provide you the link)<--This is the hacked server where the drivers, rom etc are.

What do I do? If I have to install the custom ROM on the server, how do I install? Im so sorry, but I'm a complete n00b. But I'm willing to learn. Thanks a lot.

All ROM devolopers pls note:Include antitheft software in your Roms

Regarding all ROM Developers:
I greatly appreciate your contribution.Please provide some Antitheft or Remote tracking(Via data or sms) soft wares in your roms.I don't know is somethings like this were already there ,It will be very useful for many people.
I am a junior member.I think you people understand why i asked a antitheft software in Rom,cause it cant be deleted by hard resetting the phone.I am not a rom developer ,So i am requesting you guys.Excuse me for my language if i used words that i shouldn't.Thank you guys.............
Would be great to have it included!
If you really want it included in a ROM just download the zip file for the ROM then download your fave anti-theft software from the market,install it, pull the .apk from your phone, then in the zip file for the new ROM go into /system/apps and paste it there, should install automatically and be part of the system so it's a real b*tch to remove.

I would like to know if is there a way to locate the point of this problem.
By the way,i browsed fine on internet even i checked my google account on the default browser
Thanks for your time.
sorry to bother all of you.. as noob , i didnt try the usual way to solve things.. reset, re-install,reboot... after i did it .. it seems it fixed itself..

The stuff you want to do requires you to be rooted first. So download SuperOneClick and use that to root your device first.
1. Making a backup is usually with a app called Rom Manager. After installing, you can press the option to download the recovery and afterwards you can make a backup of the rom. Its best to make a backup of the stock rom that came with the phone just for... backup purposes.
Cyanogenmod is in progress, but not released yet so you should wait for that.
No point in checking on Modaco because there's almost no one posting there for this device.
If you want to install a new rom, you basically only need 3 things. Your phone, the custom rom you want from the Optimus 3D Android Development Section, and the instructions that thread gives you. Its best to follow the instructions that they give. Very easy and simple process.
2. Flashing a rom = installing a rom. All your data and etc are gone. Doesn't exist anymore, it'll be as if you got a fresh phone from out of the box except the rom has been modified. So if you want to keep your data, go make backups of them. For contacts, just sync them with your gmail account. For messages, download an app to back those up. I don't have a texting plan so I can't recommend you a sms backup app. If you want to backup your apps, you can look at Titanium Backup.
3. Whenever you flash a new rom, anything you've done to your phone is gone. So you'll have to reapply any tweaks you've done. For those 3 links, Link 1 and 2 are both stock camera replacements. They replace the stock camera on your phone. So you could only pick one. They both aim to improve the stock camera quality. Personally, I haven't installed either. I use 3rd party camera apps for taking pictures. For the 3rd link, its only a way to get GameLoft games to your external sd card to save some bit of space on your internal sd card. If you need it, try it out. I didn't need it, so I haven't touched it.
4. Are you talking about creating an android app development envirenment or...?
5. GPS, are you talking about GPS navigation, GPS detection, or..?
6. Applying a theme is just changing the graphical appearance of the phone. Applying a rom is changing much more than that. Applying a rom lets you have a rom with tweaks that gives you more space, more speed, more etc etc. Most custom roms has their own themes. Basically, if you want to change how your phone's launcher looks, then that's applying a theme. If you want your phone to be different from stock and have lots of bloatware removed and faster and etc you would want to install a new rom.
To change a theme there's 2 ways. One is to change it on the rom which would affect the stock launcher. 2nd way is to download a new launcher and download any of the themes they have and use those instead. I prefer the 2nd way just because its much easier and most of the time 3rd party launchers are simply better than the stock launchers.

root Micromax E453 ?

Hi all,
New here..
Just got myself a Micromax Evok e453.. this diwali, And am hating every moment of it.. First comes the bloatware of advertisements.. On trying to address that, i saw
https://www.xda-developers.com/micromax-remotely-installing-unwanted-apps-on-devices/
The very first step is to root the phone. Never rooted one before.. (Been working on game development for android, VR, usinfg Unity.. ) So, basically I believe my first questions are..
- Is rooting a must? (I definitely understand that it has it's own advantages, like i can install a stock android instead of bloated OEM ports.. But as i am a newbie in it..)
- If so, is there any single click app / solution ? If not, can someone point me to a precise guide for this device?
Depending on what i learn on the above questions, maybe i'll have soem follow up Q's..
Thank You very much
Rajesh

Just restrict app background data of Micromax app centre as it cannot be uninstalled then block notification access of firewey and xhelper and also restrict app background data ,adds will be gone .
