[Q] File locations - General Questions and Answers

Hello guys and once again Happy New Year, hope 2013 brings mor wisdom to all!
My question is, if you have wrongly got an old pro key, like for titanium backup, that of course did not correspond to the last version, but after unistalling it, when you want to install the correct one, it says another version exists (but you can not find it anywhere), and does not change it, such files are stored where? Is it possible to find and delete manually so that the new one can be installed? I gave search with different programs like Rom Toolbox, Root Explorer, Titanium etc... but non can find where it is?
Any help or suggestions?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S II since about a week. It is rooted and Titanium Backup (paid version) is installed.
When I deleted an app I didn't want to keep I accidentally deleted the wrong one, something called BadgeProvider. Alas, I have found out that this system app makes it possible to send SMS (maybe more problems that I haven't found out yet) Without it, I can't .
I have tried to reinstall it from Titanium but that doesn't work. I have found the BadgeProvider.apk file on the Internet and trid to install it with several app installers but that doesn't work either.
I do need to send and receive SMS. How do I get a functional smartphone again?
I do badly need help
Thanks
Well, I would recommend you move the Titanium Backup File onto different storage, than factory reset the phone. If you've only had it a week I don't imagine you are going to lose too much, especially if you are already backed up. May take a little bit to re-root and restore and everything but, it's better than trial and error/waiting for a specific solution.

[Q] How to uninstall preinstaled apps in T-mobile move

Hello
I own T-mobile mome (probablly alcatel OT 908) and internal memory is very low. I would like uinstal some apps . I supposed that Titanium backup would be enough but if i want to uninstal some preinstaled app Titanium backup says "APK file cannot be found"
Do you know any other solution (android 2.2)
thank you
need to be rooted
antTek app manager root 0.971
u must make buckups for each uninstalled app, I had problem after factory reset!
I have the same problem
Hello,
I also have an Alcatel OT-908 and I had the same problem as you. What I did was root the phone using Gingerbreak v1.2, and then I installed an application called AndroidMate. With the program's File Explorer option you can go to /custpack/app and delete any unnecessary applications. Be careful not to delete anything useful though, and it is always a good idea to backup first. However, this is only a partial solution to your problem (and mine as well). I still get low memory warnings and the only other solution I could find on the net for people with similar problems (on different phones) was to install a custom rom. I've posted a question in the General Q&A forum,if you find a custom rom that supports Alcatel 908 please share it with the rest of us.

Application Installer from HK ROM

Hey everyone!
So I bought my Play from Hong Kong 4 months ago and it's working great here in the Philippines. Now, I'm already on 4.0 UK Generic ROM to take advantage of the preserve-root-via-OTA trick but as everyone will know I lost some of the apps from HK ROM and some apps are added because they are by default packed with the UK ROM. There was this app from the HK ROM called Application Installer which, as the name implies, is a very simple application that when launched finds all APKs saved on your SD Card and from there you can select to install them. I missed that application because of it's simplicity and straight-forward job. I just can't live with going through File Managers only to install a single APK every time.
Now, will anyone be kind enough to upload here the specific Application Installer APK (can't remember the exact name) extracted from the system/app directory of the HK ROM for Xperia PLAY? I'm already on UK Generic and it would be pain in the butt to reflash again the HK ROM, extract a single apk, then flash back to UK Generic.
Thanks in advance everyone!
PS: If it's in the wrong section, somebody move this please?
Didn't read correctly, ignore.

huh?
was it something i did?
anyone? please?
do you have a HK based ROM? tried looking from it and extracting from it?
as i have said on my first post, i was previously on HK ROM, but now on UK Generic, but flashing back just to get a single apk is not an option as i have lots of apps already installed, settings already set, and virtually no time to do backups, flashing and reflashing, and rooting, and OTA all over again... i could have done that already and not asked here if it was possible for me..
anyone? please? please? need it so badly...
I have the app in my phone, instructions needed for me to extract from my phone and you'll getting it soon enough
you only need root friend, and with the help of Root Explorer or any file manager app that can read through system/app directory, you will find the apk file, copy (NOT CUT) it somewhere in the SD then post it here..
wats the name of the apk? GenericApplicationInstaller? PackageInstaller? I came across this 2, i'll just post it and you try it for yourself okay?
but i have both of those on my system..
and those two don't have specific icons..they use the generic Android icon for apk's..
i remember it having its own icon for itself.. sigh..
how bout this? i have another called CustomizedApplicationInstaller.
If i may ask, what is so desperately needed about this app.
As far as i can tell from your story only thing it does is a batch installaton of apk's.
Ad itÅ› not like you are flashing a new rom every day i suppose.
Just use titanium backup, you can make a backup of all your apps with all settngs and data preserved. it saves it to your sd card, and you can run a batch restore wich restores all your apps.
cause is quite convenient as it searches all the apks you have in your sd card and list out for you so that you won't need to look for every single apk if you wanna install them...........
why dont you use something similar from the market?
beats me, ts wants that, i have it but i have no idea where it is
i already made my point.. i don't have to explain again..
ps: my signature really makes sense..
any ways to pull out from titanium backup?
nvm i think i found it, try this
my oh my just how can i thank thee good sir?
heartache healed!

com.orange.authentication.simcard.permission 1.0?

i've searched and have not found an answer as to what this process/file does. I just recently noticed this process in my SGS3 GT-19300 (Unbranded/international). I have already froze it in Titanium Backup but i want to delete it, before i delete it i need to know if it's a needed file. I'm in southeast asia and my carrier provider is not orange.
Does anyone know what this file is for?
AW: com.orange.authentication.simcard.permission 1.0?
I believe it's for the orange api and services, but that won't explain why it's there...
If it's frozen and you haven't faced any problems then back it up and delete it. Or keep the frozen app. Custom Roms won't include this app in there preinstalled app list in case you wanna flash.

Recovery Software for root content - /data/data after factory reset?

Hey guys, I've got a problem. I want to restore my com.whatsapp dir in /data/data/, is that possible somehow? Someone had a similar problem back in 2015 and it is said that he could not restore any, but I have software which backed up all videos and photos, but it didn't recover the files I wanted (because you only could choose things like: doc's, pics, movies etc).
Do you guys have an idea, please?
Or do you guys know how to verify whatsapp? I've been using my old number for 5 years now, 2-3 years ago I got a new sim card. Since then, I've always made a backup with titanium or took the backup from whatsapp itself and if you enter ur number and whatsapp recognized a backup, it didn't have to verify anymore. But it's been changed now somehow, they want to verify one's number and then it'll first try backing up (but I do not have that sim anymore). And unfortunately, titanium backup made a corrupt file exactly with the whatsapp file <_<
Thanks in Advance!
WhatsApp doesn't store your media (received images, videos, chat messages, etc.) in the com.whatsapp folder in /data/data, but it stores it in your internal sdcard itself in a folder named WhatsApp. Take that folder with you and put it in the new phone/tablet where you want to continue your WhatsApp usage.
Verification is straight-forward. All you have to do is do a fresh install of WhatsApp on this new phone/tab of yours and start it. If you had placed this backed-up WhatsApp folder on the internal sdcard of the new device, WhatsApp will ask you and automatically import this media on your new device.
Hope that helps.
Hello, thank you for your help.
As I said, I don't want the media, I want the data of whatsapp. I backed up all the media anyway and the recover programs only recovered the media, but I want to recover the whatsapp data.
"WhatsApp will ask you and automatically import this media on your new device."
That is how it used to be, I think they changed their system. You now first have to verify your number and afterwards, you're importing ur whatsapp backup folder. after verifying to another number (not the one I wanted) my old data has been backuped.

In that case, I don't think its going to be easy to retrieve the old chat contents easily unless you have WhatsApp running on your older device. If you have it running on the older device by any chance, you can refer to this manual and create a Chat Backup to your Google Drive, so that later you can restore it from Google Drive on your new phone/tablet. I suppose this is the only way to create WhatsApp chat backups going forward.
Well, I flashed another rom, so I don't got any possibility to return to that version. That's why I ask for an recovery software which also can recover root files. I didn't think it would be so hard to find, because there are some which recovery plenty of other files, I just needed one which includes /data/data folder AND any files, no matter which ending they have (like *.*, where * is a wildcard for any matches), so I hoped someone of you would know any software?

What software did you originally use to take the backup? If it was Titanuium Backup, then what went wrong while restoration?
In case you have the actual file system backup of /data/data/com.whatsapp, you can directly try pasting that folder in the new setup using Root Explorer (or similar app) and see whether it works. But of course, you'll need to be rooted on your new setup.

[ROOT NEEDED]
Maybe GT recovery is the app you are looking for. Basically this app recovers your lost data even after a hard reset by exploiting some resources in the root directory. By this app you can recover the whole folder of your WhatsApp. Just type in the full directory path in the app.
May this help you.
Unfortunately, the exactly the whatsapp backup is a corrupted .rar file, only has 0.0 kb data... @tiger1487 I got root on my phone, but the problem with GT recovery is, that you need the paid version for using it. But tbh, I'm not willing to pay 15e to try if it eventually could recover my needed data, so I'd ask you, if you know another software which is similar to this one? I can't search for one unfortunately, because if you google for it, you just get some to backup a factory image via cwm or twrp or something :x

I am a new member so i cant send you the link of the all free GT recovery but i can tell you that just type 'GT recovery cracked' in the google search engine. You will get it for free[Tip: If you type 'cracked' in front of any app name on google search, you will get it for free, just look for some trusted website like 'onhax' or 'okhax' or 'crackedapkfull']

And I forgot to tell that GT recovery is now more updated. Now there is no need to type in the exact path. There is a direct option for Recover WhatsApp. Likewise there are other options too for messenger, call logs, etc if you need it?

Oh, you were talking of the app, thought of the windows software. The app itself is free, isn't it? I tried the app, it stucks at 0% scanning and I don't think it'll work. Tried different apps, it seems they're only looking for sdcard/whatsapp/database instead of data/data/com.whatsapp so it would be awesome if I could set a path
Thank you very much for your help.

Yes its free...windows version is paid but my app doesn't stuck. Mine one is working perfectly. See that you try some other older versions of the app too. Maybe you downloaded the version that stucks at 0% or something like that.

Sorry for answering late :x
Okay, it seems that my root was broken somehow, but now as it works, the program tells me I am not rooted (now I am for sure!) and wants me to download Kingo root or something. But anyway, I had GBWhatsapp installed on my phone, so I think the app won't help me because it would search for com.whatsapp instead of com.gbwhatsapp (could that be possible?)
I found the app Undeleter, this has some more path search options but unfortunately not one where I can specify my desired path. So, I hope you got one last idea?
