removing Pac rom system apks - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

p3113 pac rom
i don't see what the phone or voice dialer are for but i wanted to make sure if it was safe to remove them. i wouldn't care but the phone.apk is always on.

You may have downloaded the wrong version - sounds like you flashed the 3100 version - which has 3G capabilities
Try downloading and flashing the 3110 version ( is the one to use for both the 3110 and 3113 versions )

Interesting, sorry for the misleading reply. I am not on PAC Rom right now, have flashed back to stock for now I'll try and flash over the weekend, and see if I can help - unless of course, you have already removed it, and everything is okay
Thanks,

That's part of the script I use to remove useless (IMHO) apps from my CM installs after each update. It should be safe to remove Phone.
If I'm unsure I have recovery with Aroma FM so I can always extract missing app from ROM zip and place it where it was.

reply wasnt misleading in fact it made perfect sense.... wouldnt have been surprised if you had been right.and ty for help. i did remove the phone and voicedialer apks on my own thinking if anything went wrong i would just re flash it. so far i havent noticed any problems.
and as for the script....i have no idea how that works but still helps cause there are some apps listed there that i can remove

[ROM][ICS 4.0.3][GT-5113] CleanRom v1.1 6/3/2012

I Proudly Present the first Custom Rom available for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (GT-P5113)​
What is this you ask:
This is a slightly modified version of the most current stock ROM available for the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (GT-P5113).
Notice for CleanRom v1.0 users:
The update instructions are below the installation instructions. Updating to the newest version will NOT remove any of your settings or data as long as you do not Wipe Data / Factory Reset.
Changlog:
Code:
Version 1.1:
1. Moved Dropbox to Data so it can be removed
2. Removed SuperSU and added Superuser to resolve some issues.
3. Added download containing removed apk files (See details below)
Features so far:
-Stock, Rooted, Deodexed, Zipaligned
-Removed a bunch of bloat applications
-Removed crap bookmarks
That's about it.
Pre-requisites:
1. You must have the custom recovery installed from the Rooting thread. (If you are going to install this you do not have to install the root zip file, this rom is already rooted.)
Installation Instructions: (Update instructions below)
1. Download to external sdcard
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Make a nandroid backup Highly Recommended
4. Data Wipe/Factory Reset REQUIRED for new installations
5. Flash Rom
6. Reboot and enjoy
Update Instructions:
1. Download the latest version to your external sdcard
2. Reboot to recovery
2a. Looks like you may need to wipe data (Some people are reporting issues with Wifi if they do not wipe data.)
3. Flash Rom
4. Reboot and enjoy
Flashing the rom on my device takes about 1.5 minutes or less, but the first boot will take about 2.5 minutes, and then another 30 seconds or so to format the applications. After the first boot it will boot up much faster.
Further Information:
Since this is basically a very minimally modified version of the stock Rom there is no need to post screenshots.
Removed Apps:
Below in the download section you will find a zip file containing all of the apk files that have been removed from stock during the process of building this Rom. Some of them will allow you to simply install, but other will require a little more effort:
To install apks manually that will not install themselves you will have to do the following:
1. Move the apk file to the /system/app/ folder with a root enabled file explorer
2. Reboot you tablet.
Download Links:
Version 1.1 (Current release)
Dropbox Download v1.1
Google Drive Download v1.1
MD5: 530ba66c73a052a486f2e28a3d725a7c
Removed Apps download:
Removes Apps (Dropbox Link)
Removed Apps (Google Drive link)
MD5: ed75336fb4693b1c7361a9fa1a85d0a1
Version 1.0:
Dropbox link: Download v1.0
Google Drive link: Download v1.0
MD5: fff31853881ba6d7c6a91c5a013fdb23
Let me know if you have any issues with Google Drive, and I can look into hosting it somewhere else also.
Special Thanks to:
martijn.vanpoorten For providing faster Dropbox hosting for this Rom!
Saved in case I need in the future!
Will this also work on P5110? Will be getting mine next week.

I am not really sure if it will or not since I only have the P5113. Do you know what the difference in the P5110 is?
Edit:
Took a quick look at a spec sheet and the only thing I noticed was that it looks like the P5110 might not have the IR?

Regional stuff only, I think, but if there are firmware files that differ between countries because of wifi channels, etc, it could be a problem. Never mind, I'll try it anyway. Might steal vendor files from a backup made before the flashing of your ROM.

The P5110 is without 2G/3G GSM Unit.

The P5113 does not have 2G/3G either.
I am looking forward to test this rom
I'm looking at creating a similar ROM for the 5100 (3G version) but I'm running into some issues during the framework de-odex.
@sgrant: if you have any pointers as to the tools or methods you use to actually make it work, I'd appreciate it.
Peace,
C.
Omg! Soo excited to try this!

If I had to guess I would say that you are targeting the wrong framework. Make sure you are targeting framework 15.
Regarding tools, I use Android Kitchen, but I DO NOT allow it to convert my updater-script to an update-script. Basically this means I can only use a few of the features of Android Kitchen:
1. Deodex Files
2. Zipalign
3. Create and sign zip
You may be able to use a few more things without the update-script, but I had troubles anytime I let Kitchen create it.
If you need more help create a thread in the Q&A forum and PM me the link. That way others will have a better time finding the information.
Clean ROM test results
Before you install the Clean ROM v1.0, know the following:
1. You MUST do a factory/reset in CWM5 (the CWM you install from my OP)
2. Factory Reset will NOT delete EVERYTHING on your external SD card
3. Installing Clean ROM V1.0 will NOT damage your CWM5.
4. I personally tested the Clean ROM V1.0 today. Runs smooth and it has some of the "bloatware" that can't be removed from the standard stock ROM. I detected an ever-so-slight improvement in smoothness & speed.
5. This ROM has NOT been tested on ANY Tab2 other than GT-P5113 at this time.
Bottom Line: We have our first SAFE custom ROM for the Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113.
Thank you sgrant !

But are you sure that the factory reset is deleting stuff from your external SD card? It is not deleting anything at all from my sdcard.

My mistake. When I tried to access my external card using Astro File Manager it said the card was 100% blank and not even formatted. Removed SD card from Tab, plugged into my desktop PC and saw that all my files/data is still on the external SD card. I have corrected my posts accordingly.

Excited to test this when I get home today!! Thank you for your work!
Drive link isn't working for me. It takes me to a sign up page that tells me that I need to upgrade my Flash player ? After redirect to play store I get error saying I don't have enough storage space, I do have a 32 gb card installed with 28+ gb of free space. :-O

The 7 inch version has the stock odin tars for the 3113. I've seen stock tars for the p5100 and p5110 on sammobile and sampro.pl, but nothing yet for the p5113.

[Q] Sensation XE, backup and another Android version

Hi!
I've got the HTC Sensation XE with the stock software (Android 4.0.3 and HTC Sense 3.6) but he's very slow!
So I've tried some taskmanagers and app killers but these doesn't help.
To make my phone faster I've got some questions:
1) Does it help to just root and install something to make it go faster? (so all my apps, files and settings stay)
2) Better to root the phone and install another Android version?
3.1) Cyanogenmod or something else?
3.2) Why?
3.3) And where can I find a tutorial to install this for my phone?
4.1) What are the pros and cons of Cyanogenmod (or another one) vs the default?
4.2) And what are the pros and cons of rooting/installing another Android version in general?
4.3) Is there some noob/beginners article on this?
4.4) Can I still use Google Play?
5.1) If I install another version I've to reset my phone?
5.2) I'd like to stick with my apps, files and settings. Is this possible?
6) If question 5.2 isn't possible, not a very big deal; I can re-install apps, reset settings and backup and restore my files (photos and contacts). But there's only one app I don't know how to backup: Smurf Village (for my girlfriend). She'll kill me if I lose the save game. Does somebody know how I can backup and restore that game?
7) Does a custom Android version auto update? So I don't have to update my phone manual time by time?
If you answer please explain why or just give me a link where I can find a good answer.
I've searched a lot but there's so much information about this! But not specific for the Sensation XE. Again, I'm happy with some good links to!
Kind regards,
Roy
P.S. I'm from the Netherlands, so I prefer a Dutch version!

Wow. Lots of questions! i shall try to help you out
1. Yes and no, it depends what you install. A custom kernel can make it go faster.
2. This depends on your preference of style. If you love htc sense (stock htc look) then stick with a custom sense rom. It will stay on ics. If you like the look of Cyanogenmod then jump up to jellybean 4.1.2
3.again matter of preference.
3.2 Cyanogenmod is a "vanilla" version of android. Its almost pure stock but with there own custom code added to it for tweaks and settings and speed and many other things. Cyanogenmod is the largest custom rom and also one of the longest running. It covers a very wide range of devices and many many custom roms and based on its source code
3.3 check the q&a or any cyanogenmod thread.
4.1 Cyanogenmod is faster, comes prerooted and has a massive amount of custom stuff available. It is what many custom roms are based on and you can get it on most devices these days
Official or not htc sense is arguably prettier than Cyanogenmod but it has a lot of bloatware. Also sense its self is quite resource hungry. But with custom sense roms you will still get a nice fast experience.
4.2 rooting allows you access over the read write functions of the phone. It means you can write to the system partition and as such change almost anything on the phone. Once you have rooted it means any app wanting to have root (superuser permission) will have to ask superuser first. Cons are some carriers don't like it when you root. When changing android version you get the benefits and downfalls of that new update. Like if you upgrade to jellybean you get the advantage of project butter (Google is your friend) but with 4.2.1 we got ****ty Bluetooth drivers. But generally updates are good
4.3 Google and xda are your friend
4.4 of course if you want to with Cyanogenmod roms then flash gapps.
5.1 yes
5.2 apps can be reinstalled and settings redone. But you will have to do it manually pal. They will be wiped when you change rom.
6. You could attempt to use adb to pull the data/data/appname folder. But I would ask around before you do anything as I am not sure.
7. Lots of custom roms do push ota updates now. Just check the roms thread.
Hope this clears things up a bit
tapped out from my sexy sensation XE
Many, many thanks for helping!! I appreciate it a lot!

Cyanogenmod is not a kernel, cyanogenmod is an open source aosp built version of the android system they have there own kernels though It will be installed when you install the rom. as a rule of thumb never install a sense kernel to a aosp rom and vise versa.

This guide is no longer relivant to your device as you undoubtedly have the updated hboot. This is what you need to remove the security from your new hboot once that is done i recommend using this guide to upgrade your firmware.This is to ensure rom compatibility once this is done install this recovery via fastboot. After that Simply follow the install instructions from the first posts of the rom thread i have linked above

What happend was a few years ago cyanogenmod issued there roms with gapps pre-installed and google issued them with a cease and desist order stating that only they, and agreed upon companies could distribute google apps. cyanogenmod stopped for a little bit as they considered their position. Eventually it came about that having gooogle apps as a flashable zip was the answer, as it was not directly distributed with cyanogenmod. from then on all aosp/aokp roms that i am aware of followed suit and started using gapps!
5.1) If I install another version I've to reset my phone?

nope
5.2) I'd like to stick with my apps, files and settings. Is this possible?

6) If question 5.2 isn't possible, not a very big deal; I can re-install apps, reset settings and backup and restore my files (photos and contacts). But there's only one app I don't know how to backup: Smurf Village (for my girlfriend). She'll kill me if I lose the save game. Does somebody know how I can backup and restore that game?
royduin said:
To do this my phone has to be rooted already, right? I haven't find something for this app especially. Do you know some tutorial where they cover this?

You may be in luck pal since you are on ics this solution should be applicable to you ^^ i would use the droid explorer application first from your windows pc and see how you get on, before you start the s-off process
7) Does a custom Android version auto update? So I don't have to update my phone manual time by time?
royduin said:
Cyanagenmod to?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes cyanogenmod does, as does bruces rom i believe. (linked above)
8) I can set the language to Dutch in all custom roms?
allowing the rom has support for the language yes (as far as i know most aosp roms will have support for most languages )
Many, many thanks again! Really!
The most is clear now, but before I start, another question:
Is it possible to make a full backup of everything, so when I don't like Cyanogenmod I can restore that and have everything back again? (including apps, settings, etc. Even my save game in the Smurf Village app?). Just created a full backup trough Droid Explorer, but I don't know if this is possible with that kind of backup.
Read a lot about this in the topics you provided*, but I want to make sure it will go smoothly, I use the right tool and it's possible as I subscribed above.
*in the upgrade firmware guide you provided, in the recovery guide and I found this in the "beginners guide".

doing a nandroid backup from recovery it backups the whole rom including everything to it(settings,mods etc)
about save game in the Smurf Village app i think it saves the data in sdcard but to be sure backup that too(for example to pc)

Good luck my friend just remember to make a full backup from your recovery after you have removed the security so that if needs be you can go back to stock htc sense
Tapped out from my sexy nexus 7
It isn't going well..
Tried these steps a couple of times: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
But I get this error: "ADB out of date" with the temp_root tool but it looks like it's working, then I've used the ControlBear tool, here I get the same error and after waiting a while: "secondary backup failed", now my device doesn't work proper!
First a message that locations is crashed, and then sense is starting over and over again... and now system ui is crashed.. Can't work with my phone now! Tried to restart but everything keeps crashing...
Please help me!!
Should I restore a backup created trough Droid Explorer (I think it's the same as "adb backup")?
UPDATE
Replaced the adb files with newest ones from sdk and the "out of date" messages are gone! Just have run the "temp_root_remove" tool and now my device works as it has to be.
I'll give it another try now!

Thanks! Up and running! But... my contacts are gone, they where on my sim card.. When I choose import from simcard no contacts are found and I haven't backup-ed up my contacts specific. Can I go back and get them someway? (I've got a full backup made trough "adb backup" and a backup made trough the recovery)
UPDATE
I had lookout installed, after installing CM it asked to download all previous apps back, so I agreed. Lookout was installing too and has made some backups in the past so I've restored my contacts only and have them all backup again!
I'm curious about the save game for the "smurfs village" app. It's installed automatically, but haven't started it yet. What do you advise, start it before restoring or restore and then start?
UPDATE 2
Sadly lookout haven't backed-up my contacts the right way, so I've got names without phone numbers.. Any ideas how to get them back?
UPDATE 3
Still got no contacts
Meanwhile I've restored the backup for the "smurf village" app and got my save game back!

Missed this from your feedback PM
Just fixed the zip on download server
Now, it should flash correctly
Many thanks for the support :good:
Finally Flash it (Thanks Adam)
Working Great.
1) Touch is working great. - It will work after 5-6 Seconds.(If possible just press back Hardware key)
2) Its Superfast.
3) Approx 90% functions are working.(A normal day user can flash it without any problem.
4) Taking backing up normally & deleting data & caches also.
Few bugs:
1) you can't view what you are flashing ( Texts are going quickly downwards to front page & hence you can't see it)
2) 1 or 2 functions aren't working(might be my R problem).
I m attaching the zip file with Adam's Update - binaries.
Flash it & Enjoy. :good:

thx alot for reply! deeply appreciate it!:angel: how about using ur aroma browser that is built in inside the recovery and mark all files and just delete them ? will i be able to reboot into recovery mode after that? i was thinking that recovery files where flashed into a flash memory outside the phones internal memory to be a fail safe place harmless for beeing erased unless flashed with odin or flashed with any compatible recovery we got availible. am i right about this?
so my short question again is can i mark all folders and files and delete them directly through the built in aroma browser?
:good:
im willing to write you good comments and review here or on youtube if it is in ur demands.

[Q] Front camera in Snapchat broken CM11

Hello,
I have CM11 installed on my htc one s, but the front camera doesn't work in snapchat; It does work in other apps, so is this a problem related to cyanogenmod not having the htc drivers or is this snapchat's fault? More importantly, is there a fix or a snapchat replacement app of some sort which enables the front camera?
Maybe try a newer release of CM 11
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I'm on the latest nightly and it's still broken
Same issue
My camera is stretched and sometimes freezes but only in snapchat. Any ideas?

There is a temporary fix I have been doing since very early CM11 builds.
If you copy a "camera.msm8960.so" from another ROM (I took the one from a GUMMY ROM), and paste it into system/lib/hw (delete/overwrite the old one - may be in capitals "CAMERA.MSM8960.so and not overwrite so must be deleted manually) then the front camera works fine with CM11.
I have issue with my Galaxy S4 and have always done this after installing a new nightly and it has been fine. (Posting here as I was looking for a proper solution through Google searches and saw you are suffering with the same issue)

Why don't they include this file in official cm11? is it HTC owned (not opensource) or something?

Not sure if this is still an issue for the One S, but it still is for the S4. I just did this and it worked, but I wanted to mention I had to use the camera file from a 4.1 ROM to do so. Hopefully that helps someone else.

This is the file I use. Taken from an old nightly GUMMY ROM build for the Galaxy S4. It seems to work with every new CM11 nightly I install I so don't think it matters that the file is extracted from an older ROM.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cnnx4gavx43e8v8/camera.msm8960.so
This file works for me on my S4. I paste it into the /system/lib/hw directory after flashing the latest nightly. (you must DELETE the existing file manually as pasting this file into the directory DOES NOT delete the other file of the same name but in capital lettering)
Also, this does not a complete fix for the Snapchat camera issues. I am now able to record video with the front camera however a lot of the time it will still cause the app to freeze or camera to lock up - requiring a phone reboot. HOWEVER this is a lot better than not being able to record ANY videos at all (as it is normally with the CM11 ROMS)
EDIT: the file is extracted from an old GUMMY ROM nightly in the system/lib/hw directory. If this file doesn't work for you, you could try extract the file from other non CM based ROMS and see if if your problem is fixed.

There is a temporary fix I have been doing since very early CM11 builds.
If you copy a "camera.msm8960.so" from another ROM (I took the one from a GUMMY ROM), and paste it into system/lib/hw (delete/overwrite the old one - may be in capitals "CAMERA.MSM8960.so and not overwrite so must be deleted manually) then the front camera works fine with CM11.
I have issue with my Galaxy S4 and have always done this after installing a new nightly and it has been fine. (Posting here as I was looking for a proper solution through Google searches and saw you are suffering with the same issue)

Thanks man it really works for me after some tweaks :highfive:
I don't think you need the file "camera.msm8960.so" from another ROM :angel:.
Here is how I did it:
1) In the path system/lib/hw, there is two files "camera.MSM8960.so" (13KB) and "camera.vendor.msm8960.so" (210KB)
2) delete the file "camera.MSM8960.so", but copy its exact name with the capitals. This is important cuz I believe it is case sensitive.
3) rename "camera.vendor.msm8960.so" to "camera.MSM8960.so" which is the exact name of the deleted file
4) make sure the permissions are set as follows: "rw- r-- r--" which is short for read/write OWNER, read GROUP, read OTHER
5) open snapchat and go for video setting change qualiy to low. after that, record a video with front camera and send it to urself.
6) finally put the video quality back to standard and ENJOYYYY it should work for u.

No worries.. I'm just as ready as everyone else.. Too bad I don't have kernel knowledge

I found this N920T (note 5) STOCK kernel posted in this forum earlier today but
forgot who posted the link. It's an Odin flash TAR file, perhaps you can use it.
Here is the download link in case you can use it:

I will put together a stock boot tar.. And if you send me one for your device I will put together one for your device too. But it's just not cool to take peoples stuff they put together for the community and upload to your host and share it around..
No harm no foul..
Will that stock boot tar be compatible with my s6 edge+ too?
Perhaps since the Note 5 and the s6 edge+ are almost identical
the roms, recovery and the kernel might be interchangeable. ..
Maybe that's just a lot of wishful thinking on my part.
Have a great day, and good luck with the rom.

I'm not sure. If it has any similarities to the s6 and s6 edge then it might boot but stiff gets broke like screen gets twisted on x Axis and whatnot so I kind of doubt it.. But recovery I'm sure would be fine.
In the build.prop issues like the screen might be an easy fix by renaming
the model numbers or the versions.
To me it looks like the actual rom has parts in it for more than one phone
model and certain files like the build.prop tell the rom which parts to use
depending on the phone's model.
Or am I completely wrong?

Yeah I don't mean to sound rude but yea you're wrong the build.prop won't do anything if you make the changes I mean if you flash it and your axis gets inverted you just put in the dialer code *#2663# and press ftp firmware upgrade and it will fix it it..
The kernel modules is what tells it what to do

Yea, I know about that *#2663#, it saved my bacon when my touchscreen on my
Note 4 went crazy, it was the right resolution and size but none of the touches
corresponded with what was on the screen, however the s-pen did work properly.
After punching in that code and doing the upgrade the phone worked perfectly.
Before finding that code I was about to flush the phone down the toilet. LOL
The problem was all my fault, I by error odin flashed the wrong version of twrp.
Zip failed to flash on my Note5. Restoring my backup, I'll get you the error log when I'm back in Android.
EDIT: Literally nothing helpful...
Code:
Installing '/sdcard/Deodexed-N920TUVU1AOGE.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Deodexed-N920TUVU1AOGE.zip'
Updating partition details...
Let me take a look inside the zip and see what's up.
EDIT2: Yeah, you don't have a META-INF folder. No updater-script or anything. No wonder this won't flash. You'll need to fix that before this will flash.

The ROM I downloaded was complete, not corrupted. It's just missing essential files needed to flash the ROM.
What you're going to upload next, you've tested and it flashes? I can help you if you need.

That is not the ROM that you downloaded that is just the system files that I put there for anyone to use as a base if they need I have to run it through archikitchen to get the updater script unless you have one lying around that will flash on our phones lol

The lollipop updater scripts are different from jelly bean they have to find the block and mount it that's why I have to run it through the kitchen real fast I just threw this up there the other day for any better qualified people to use as a base.
Now that we have root I'm about to get the updater script and throw it in there and upload

No, you can do something like this:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/mount", "-t", "auto", "/system");
and that'll work just fine.
I have a feeling mine bootlooped because of permissions or symlinks, but it wasn't booting far enough for me to get a logcat of it.

Exactly.. Archikitchen does all the sym links in the updater script.. I'll admit I'm not that skilled lol I can just build a simple ROM. It seems like you know what you're doing if you can help in any way that would be appreciated other than that the only way I know how to do it is through the kitchen
