How to revert back? Mmm.. after instaliing this, can i still accessing ad*.ly, adfoc.us, etc?
isn't adaway or adfree better it allows for easy reverts and constant updates for the host files only drawback is requires root.
personally i use adaway.

Take backup before replacing hosts file..
Easiest method to revert back is delete hosts file and reboot

I would like to, but I don't have more files.
Prada phone users don't have root permission yet, so don't know how to copy system files.

Copy both files to system/app and give them the same permissions as the other files in that folder.
Do the same with the attached files (LG Home selector).
Reboot the phone and it will ask you what home app to use.
Afterwards, you can delete the apk of your current Home app.

I've actually pushed the files over via ADB, but it doesn't install for some reason.... and I can't just copy it into System/app normally because it fails...which is why I wanted to see if any one can create a flashable zip. :/
OMGGGGG Who knew this can be so hard for ONE app. lol.

Hello , I have deleted Camera App defaut and when i try to reinstall it , failed , so please help me with flashable file or anything to do please
If you have the original apk it's enough to copy that file into /system/priv-app/ and give it 644 permission, then reboot and it's done.

It has to be out in the "system" apps folder. I don't think you can just install it like a regular apk.

Since we now have root for the verizon s6, is it possible to get the stock browser and smart manager?
In theory. I was wondering the same thing but I've been working all day so I haven't had time to try

Yes, just follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xy-s6-apps-t3041330/post59644234#post59644234
Let me know how it turns out!
Just tried this, the app is in the drawer but when I open it just closes.

And you correctly changed the permissions in the /system/app folder?
Yes
Check your permissions. I did it and it worked for me. Remember that the folders have different permissions than the files.
Did u move it to the priv app folder or the app folder?
Confirmed that when ALL permissions are set properly it works great! The app and the folders have different permissions like the other guy said

Just the /System/App folder. Use Root Explorer to do the permission settings. Just match what other random folders/apps permissions look like in the /System/App folder.
Thanks I got it working!!!
**edit**
Got it!
I've created a tutorial here.
I copied to /system/app, changed the permissions of the SBrowser folder, the apk, the lib folder, and each of the files inside the lib folder, but then I get this when I try to install the apk. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: I must have missed the previous post. Got it working now. Thanks!
Anyone have step by step instructions on how to get smart manager working? I followed the s4 thread, but it is not working for me.
I got the FingerPrint AutoComplete working, check out my thread over at XDA Thread Link.
-not very hopeful for this-
any chance, now that people have the stock browser with root, to get it working without root?
I really don't want to root my phone just yet...

Not likely
Thought i'd put this on it's own thread so it doesn't get lost in the sea of comments where i put it originally. Mods, if this belongs somewhere else please move.
For anyone wanting to change their emoji and not sure if you want to use that switcher app, its very simple. Install ES file explorer (i can't imagine most of you don't already have it) and go to system/fonts and locate "NoToColorEmojii.ttf" and rename it to your liking (i just renamed it with NoToColorEmojii_OLD.ttf). Then download a replacement TTF emoji file, i used this one :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/oe85f3h5mj0731k/NotoColorEmoji.ttf
NEW WORKING LINK POSTED
download it and put it in the same folder the old one is in, reboot your phone, and viola, you're good to go.
Hope this helps!
YES! Thank You for doing this.

Can you try that again? I think its just that it looks that way cause you can't preview this file. there should still be a DL button.

Im rooted and still cant edit system files. I re-ran the recowvery script, and when i got to TWRP, I swiped to allow changes to the system partition. Then flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip then flashed SuperSu.
I am certain about root priviliges. SuperSU prompts me when root is required, and I am using a custom rom.
I used a script in the app RomManager to mount system RW to no avail.
I am using ES File Manager. I dont understand this, so any help is appreciated. Thanks

I'm not a noob by any stretch but I'm feeling like one again with this LG stuff so just to clarify this is basically just a guess, but if you're positive you have root access then it sounds like the problem could be with the file explorer you're using. I don't use es file explorer myself so if it is the problem I couldn't tell you why, but I use solid explorer and I haven't had any issues with modifying system files. Anyway just thought I'd throw it out there in case you haven't already tried with a different file explorer. Hope it helps

That's good advice. My first thought exactly. I think the real problem was i had assumed the rom came with Busybox already installed. I installed Busybox when scripts for read/write access wouldnt run in apps that required it. Now things work perfectly.

It's funny because I had a similar problem when I first installed Adaway because it would download the updated host but it kept failing to install, and then it finally dawned on me when I was doing something else that required busybox that it wasn't already installed because for some reason I also had just assumed it was. Anyway I'm glad to hear you got it figured out ?

Okay. I can change the file of the original .tff to *_OLD.tff but cant copy and paste the new one to the /system/fonts directory because its a "read only directory". Yet ES File Explorer says Readable and Writable.
Any ideas i can try?
