you probably shouldve made a backup before doing it.
If you want to revert to what you had before, you could extract the systemui.apk from your current rom zip. Then delete the one in system/app of your phone and paste the original one there. Change the permissions to rw-r-r, then reboot.

where do i find the original one and how do i do that last thing you said?

You need a root explorer which has the option to change the permissions of files.

lol. Its really not that hard to fix. All you need to do is find a nice untouched systemui.apk for whatever rom you are using and replace the one that is currently there.

Go to settings>about. Does it say anything about cyanogenmod or another rom name?
Or are you on stock touchwiz rom?
Maybe try asking the person that rooted the phone if they flashed a rom.

This is what happens when you try to do something you don't understand and don't do the proper research. Your lucky that's all you did and you didn't end up with a brick with a voided warranty.
The roms your on is in the about phone section. Most likely a stock rom.

Well let me be the first to warn you that doing any of this voids any and all warranty so be very careful and make sure you know what you are doing before you do it.

what does it say in settings>about? Like i said, theres no need to take it to tech support. Its a simple fix, and if you had a bit of a clue of what you have done to your phone the issue likely would've been resolved by now.

Turns out it wasn't the apk I thought it was. I've since tried about 8-10 apk's and have come up short. Any idea which apk it is that has the wallpapers in it?

It's pretty funny. Seriously though, why not just flash a stock ROM and get the APKs from such as adb? You can still go back to stock, and I even think you can avoid affecting the download mode custom ROM counter. So ill.
This thread has ALL the stock APKs in it. just download the file.

Update ruined my root, what to do?

Yeah yeah i was dumb and whatever, never update when you have root!!!! Warning to newbies!
I googled my problem like 20 times but couldnt quite find any solutions so im asking you guys what to do?
My CWM app says "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. it appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled."
So i lost superuser abilities after i did an update that was a 8mb file.
What to do? Root it again? or what?

Haha im getting such a hard time here.
Any ideas on what to do?

Did I do something?

I was running Venom ROM ICS and wanted to try out the JB version so I download it and it boots up and naturally, I start to play around. I installed titanium backup again to get my things back and it tells me I have no root. I say whaaaaa!? I then download a rootchecker app from the store and it confirms I have no root. How the world did that happen?
I panicked and booted into recovery and restored the backup I made before flashing the ROM. Now I can get back into fastboot and recovery but when I try to boot up it is a black screen. Should I RUU and start all over or am I salvageable?

[Q] Need help

I know i sound noobish asking these type of question, but there's a reason why i ask...
What is the most stable SAMSUNG ROM?
Like i said, i know its noobish of me to ask and many will say to try them out and choose, but the thing is the tablet is not mine, it is my sisters.
The reason why i'm asking this is because a) the tablet is not mine, therefore i don't have the time to be checking one by one which one i like and b) seems like my sis is having trouble with her contacts not appearing unless she does a reboot and if i'm gonna mess with it well might as well flash it with custom firmware .
I am looking for stock experience as i don't want to "disable" features such as spen and stuff like that so that i wont confuse her.
If anybody has any recomendations please let me know, appreciate the help!
I have to ask why not just fix her contacts bug instead of dropping a nuke on it and potentially brick and/or void the warranty on a very expensive tablet that you don't personally own?
