im having some trouble with stock dialer in 2.1 phone.apk i think
is it safe to remove it and download another one from the market?
or is there a newer version from stock 2.3 or 2.3 i can simply apply or overwrite it?
No do not remove unless you have backup system app a number one rule.

Yet again, Google Chrome Beta is broken after the latest update. I have ICSSGS RC4.2 and just updated Chrome Beta to the latest release. And as before, this update fails the Chrome Beta to launch on my Cappy... so beware...
I am using my old copy as before until someone figures out how to fix it... ... again...
Running 4.0.4 AOKP build 32 and it works with no problems.

Have you tried editing your build.prop, which was the easiest fix for the previous chrome issues?

I can and I will but what should the build.prop entry be to allow Chrome to load properly?
The thing is, I can find the new update with no issues. It installs fine, it just refuses to open. It hangs and then dumps me to the main window.
So, can someone give me suggestions as to what the right build.prop entry should be and I will try it.
Thanks
Look at your build.prop and the line that says ro.build.id= should match the line that reads ro.build.display.id=. If either one says gingerbread edit it to match the other and reboot your device.

Chrome is working for me on my Captivate, running Slim ICS (even though Chrome is fairly buggy and annoying in one or two places).

Ok. So my build.prop shows as such.
ro.build.id=IML74K
ro.build.display.id=SGH-I897-user 4.0.3 IML74K eng.onecosmic.20120204.223407 test-keys
So what has to match? Do I edit the display ID=IML74K??? and delete the rest?
Make a backup before doing so, but yes chrome beta does a check to see if that line is correct. If it's says something other then what a stock ROM would say, it won't run. So change it as you already described and it should work fine. But again make sure to make a backup of your build prop before doing so, just in case.

I tried this change .. no success
Did you reboot after editing and make sure the change stuck?

Ok... It seems that some people are using what I posted as a direction to change the build.prop to make the Chrome work... Actually, what I put on my earlier post is my exact build.prop what is NOT allowing the Chrome to work... so some one needs to provide an exact line entry. Please do not use my post as this is how my stock (ICSSGS ICS RC4.2) build.prop looks like...
Sorry for the confusion.
I downloaded chrome beta, but I cannot even install it. Something about a para phase error. Idk

I'm not sure if your situation is the same, but upgrading an existing chrome install didn't work for me. It crashed whenever I tried to open it. I uninstalled the one I had then installed the latest one from the play store. Its been working fine since. Running Slim 3.4 btw.

You guys should tell me why I should bother getting Chrome? Isn't stock browser Chrome based with HW accel by Samsung?
I've just tested this problem myself, and if you have LCD density set to 120 that's the cause of the issue. Set it back to 160 in build.prop or using dalingrin's CWM zip, and it works....
Fixed in latest update to Chrome... now works at lcd density of 120.

BTW Chrome release works. How do you like it? Beta was superbuggy, would not render certain websites, or leave white holes.

What do you mean by "won't work"? It's working on my captivate.
Hey everyone,
I recently flashed stock build 4.0.4 IMM76D via fastboot.. I had been having troubles with my NFC after messing around with Google wallet (cwm zip install method) on 4.0.3...
Now I noticed that the Google tags app doesn't show up in my apps list (although it is in system/app...when I click on it in astro, it asked me to install, I say yes, it fails...).
Is this normal? I'm trying to get back to a perfectly working, stable, up to date system before I mess things up further
Is anyone running 4.0.4 able to run the tags app?

I think they depreciated it so it doesn't work anymore

I think I used to have the Tags app, and I remember having my contact on the tag to share. However, I had a bit of a problem recently, had to take my phone to the shop to have it repaired and I got it back with 2.3.6. It auto-updated to 4.0.4, but ever since then the Tags app has been missing, so they I think they made some sort of change to the OTA update between the first rollout and last Thursday (when my phone re-updated itself).
And anyway, if it was deprecated, why keep it in the ROM?
Almost certain tags was never a app in the app drawer.
Let's try change the permission of tag.apk to the same as what other .apk apps'
Just upgraded from the Infuse and HOLY CRAP what a difference. The Infuse, in some ways was really a misstep for Sammy. Hardware just didn't really work well. Anyway...
Looking through ROMs I was hoping to find a stock ICS where someone had pulled out the bloat. I didn't see it, but I may have missed it.
Thanks, and glad to have switched forums! Ha.

Agreed - it's a good ROM if you are looking for something close to stock with options. Only a few small issues of stability so far.
Root the stock ROM then debloat (disable apps first) yourself
would agree about embryo. stock, debloated.. unless you choose to add it. he built in a nice rom customizer as well. personally, didnt have any problems with it.

Just root and install Titanium Backup. There should be a freeze list in one of the stickies. You do not have to install a different rom at all.
I recommend that you just freeze the apps. If you uninstall them, you will have to reflash your phone with the stock rom if you want to send to Sammy or take it back to AT&T...
You can also just make a complete TiBU of the entire phone and save on your computer then restore them when you want to get rid of the phone in a legit way...

No need for a titanium backup or anything...I just disable an app (like yahoo finance or whatever crap) from all apps section in settings ..then I delete the .apk file from /system/app (and the .odex if the rom is not deodexed)..After any debloat you will have to flash the whole stock rom anyway if you get a big system problem (or restore a nandroid if you made a backup .. Which I hugely advice to do before messing with the phone)
I am looking for the ATT IM apk, i have tried downloading the stock rom and pulling it, but i am not finding it in the file. Can some one please share the apk with me?
Do you know what the application is called? That might help someone find it.
Sounds like stock mms, but if your running custom Rom then touchwiz frame work dependant stuff aint going to do it for you

I saw it on my dad's Skyrocket. On my old captivate it was called im.apk but I have not found anything like it.
I'm running the stock rogers 4.1.2 rooted and deodexed. I have downloaded both stock ics and the leaked att 4.1
