Try using Root Explorer. Go into /system/app and find both Facebook and Twitter.. Rename them from .apk to .bak, now go and install them from Market. Hopefully this helps.

If Im not mistaken, there should be a Deodexed version of Tranquility floating around. You will have to wipe but you can always do an advanced resore of data from your previous backup so you wont have to go through all that headache again. Have you tried any of the other blurless ROMs? Im on APEX and it is deodexed, blurless, and blazing fast. Maybe some of the Senior members can jump in and help us out with some feedback as well. Im a little curious now as to why you may still be having these problems.

So I've come up empty as well. Here is what I tested on my X and it worked. Downloaded the 2.2 OTA Deodexed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794007
Then Grabbed the Tranquility download and Installed. Everything went off without a hitch.
Here are other people that had success as well.
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ty-2-3-5rc-completely-deodexed-ota-2-2-a.html
Hopefully this at least points in the right direction.
FYI any version of TranQ is deodexed. and even if your /system is not deodexed it will deodex it for you.
IMO tho you are better off installing a deodex /system first then install TranQ over it. reaosn being is that wya you know you have a deodexed /system before hand just incase TranQ took a crap doing it during the install process.
BTW IMO there is no reason to wipe data when changing ROMs. I've tried and test just about every X ROM out there and have yet to wipe data on any install. There really is no reason to. All these ROMs are only touching /system and have nothing to do with the /data partition. It is not like back on the Droid where they were full custom ROMs when it was required to do so. The only time I'd wipe data is if you are having an issue otherwise it is not needed.

That is good to know. I think I have just been accustomed to doin the full wipe because of my old Droid. I also see a lot of the ROM developers request it.

First of all thnx for the effort, I am really a fan of stock and lite ROMs.
However, recovery gets reset itself while flash this rom, and after reboot I find some essentials apps are missing, like LG Email. Can you confirm that is the case, I tried 2 times both times it gets crashed during flashing and restart the phone. I guess because of some essential apps that are missing during the flash procedure.
Thanks,
Sem

Good to see few new attempts on ROMs... Hope guys like you will be ready for the GB customised ROM once released by LG by the end of November
I ve removed some system apps like twitter n flickr. Can i update my device to the version v55.13.25 from the previous firmware without any issues ???
How did you remove the apps? Its better to freeze them and defrost before an official update. If it were me and I'd removed the apps completely and I liked where my phone was at and I didn't wanna flash the fxz I'd find those apps and re-install them. If you go that route make sure your permissions are correct when you place the apps back into the system folder.
The End.
Okay I've zipped the twitter and Flickr files and uploaded to my drop box if you want them. They're stock odex files. The two files for each app (.apk and. odex) are in folders. So after extracting their folders you can place the files in /system/app folder and change permissions once there. Let me know if you want the links to the downloads.
The End.
I just noticeD you're from India. You might want files from the India ROM yes? Are you on stock odex or a custom ROM?
The End.

Removed them through system app remover.Will a hard reset restore those apps?Its an ATT model with their firmware not the Indian one..
Oh I see. I don't know what I was thinking. You can do a factory reset to get those back. You will loose all of your data in the process so backup your data and only format your SD card if you have that all stuff backed up to a PC.
The End.
Wait. What's "system app remover"? Is that an app? I'm confused. I've done so much to this phone with swapping ROMs and moving system files around via Root Browser that I'm not even clear about your issue.
FWIW I've recently come full circle and currently use the stock 2.3.6 odexed ROM. I use Twitter and Flickr too. Sorry. I think I've confused myself here ha-ha. Somebody please address the OP. lol.

Yes! it`s an app...To be clear i uninstalled those apps after rooting my A2 with the "system app remover" . Will the OTA update work even though the
i`ve removed those apps beacause the update might be for those apps as well and will i lose root if updated to the new firmware
NO, do not try the update if you have deleted any system .apk's.
This is probably the easiest way to do it:
1) Install CWM through the bootstrapper if you haven't done so yet.
2) Boot into CWM and make a backup
3) Flash the fxz (scroll down a bit)
4) Once the phone boots up, log in to your google account and do whatever else you need to do. DO NOT uninstall any applications (even if they're uninstallable) and DO NOT root.
5) Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Software update. Make sure you're connected to wifi and install the update!
6) Once your phone has updated, re-root it, install CWM, and restore the backup you made.
Hope this helps, good luck!
Yup. What cogeary said. How embarrassing. Its just been one of those days where I should just keep my mouth shut. Not in a bad way. It IS my birthday, and the moon is closer to the Earth than it will be for a good while. Ha-ha. Seriously, cogeary knows his stuff.

Issue: Frequent STOPPED WORKING with com.gappas.com, com.phone.com and the other basic applications!
What I did:
1. Rooted the phone;
2. Installed ZAEM Launcher;
3. Used SD Maid to remove stock applications including the default LAUNCHER!
Now: No dialer, no contact list and the phone is actually stuck at the blank screen now.
Device:
Manufacturer: Symphony
Model: W100
Android: ICS
I realize I messed up removing the stock launcher, I didn't know it would also remove the fundamental applications.
Tried several FACTORY RESET (POWER + VOLUME UP) aka RECOVERY, but nothing worked. It seems SD Maid removed the stock applications from the RECOVERY image as well.
Please help me out. Thanks in advance.
Send a private message to this guy.
UPDATE
WORKAROUND for people with similar case.
WARNING: SD Maid will remove applications from the recovery image too, use with caution;
Steps:
1. Give it a factory reset with RECOVERY option;
2. Root the device;
3. Complete the setup wizard as far it takes you;
4. Upon setup wizard crash and NO LAUNCHER stuck situation, access SETTINGS by pulling down the top STATUS BAR;
5. Allow application installation from UNKNOWN SOURCEs & USB DEBUG MODE;
6. Use ADB to install ZEAM LAUNCHER (you can use management applications like WonderShare MobileGo as well);
After a while, you will see the ZEAM LAUNCHER appearing as the default launcher, configure and make it your own. From now onwards, this is your system default launcher and keep missing the stock one
Note:
1. With every RECOVERY RESET, you will need to install ZEAM LAUNCHER this way
2. I used ZEAM LAUNCHER, I believe you can actually go with any launcher;

So .. it is fixed now right ?
Anyway ..... i mean you still can use other launchers right ?
i mean Install some other Launcher for Now .......
And before doing this kind of thing you should always make nandroid backup !
And i removed my stock launcher for like ages ago .... first install the launcher you like > Set as default >> then remove the stock launcher !

There is no "recovery image" unless you make one in cwm or so.
The system apps are on the system partition the only way to remove a system app (if you don't want to just freeze it), is to delete it from there.
Upon factory reset, the /data partition (and some others) get wiped and the apps in /system/app (like the launcher) get reinstalled.
You can put apps there yourself and they will survive a factory reset.

Yes it is working now with another launcher. I didn't know SD Maid would affect the recovery image and things will be lost forever! Is there a way to flash custom ROM on W100?
Thanks for your time.

Yeah, that is where I wonder. After uninstalling the stock launcher with SD Maid, even a recovery didn't reinstall the launcher!

Hi,
Sorry, I was on the go waiting for bus and couldn't respond enough.
Yeah I applied the work around and the devices is fantastic now.
My mistake was that I couldn't realize SD Maid would remove the stock applications in a ways where they cannot be restored even with a RECOVERY! Bad, very very bad... lol
The device was stuck after turning on, where it would look for the launcher to manage the system interface, it was a partially HUNG situation, as there was no launcher to manage the interface and other basic operations. I used WonderShare MobileGo to install a 3rd party launcher, Zaem Launcher, and within 5 seconds, when the system had another try to initiate the default launcher, Zaem Launcher kicked in, ad it registered itself as a launcher and there were no stock launcher, so the system assumed it the launcher to start This was nice... very very nice.
But I know, if I give the device another RECOVERY, POWER + VOLUME UP, the same thing will happen again and I would have to follow the same workaround to make the device usable.
So far I can understand, the only thing that can bring the device to it's original state is a way to flash an intact ROM, preferably the stock ROM came with it. But the trouble is, this device has RECOVERY LOADER 3E which is well known no to be penetrated Please let me know if you have a way to replace this RECOVERY LOADER so other ROMs can be flashed on this device.
Thank you again Sir for your kind respons.
You are confusing something, SD Maid did not remove anything that can't be restored.
If you remove a system app, with any tool that can do that, a FACTORY RESET won't restore it.
You will either have to flash the ROM again, thus restoring the original content of /system/app, or copy the missing file over there again manually.

Dear Sir,
Yes you are correct and am sorry for my little knowledge in this. However, I wanted to mean what you said, check my earlier post, the only way seems to be flashing a ROM.
I said this because, I thought FACTORY RESET and RECOVERY are not the same thing. A factory reset is suppose to clean the user data only while a recovery should bring the device back to it's manufacturer state, by flashing the system with original set of OS and applications.
Although, in the recovery mode, it says FACTORY RESET, but it does more than that, I hope So I said I did recoveries, not factory resets. Still, I think you are correct, and you already know what I meant to describe.
Thank you again Sir for your time.
Hi .... But Sorry to say that W100 Still dosen't have any Custom ROM / Recovery ...
As you may already know MMX A90 and W100 is the Same ......
And Micromax Said They will release Jelly for A90 Soon and they will Also release There A90 Kernel Sources .......
So be sure to see some development for Your W100 in the near future ! :highfive:
And i sent many Emails to Symphony asking for the original files for W50/W100 and they diden't replay to me .....
But for Now you have to stick to what you have !

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I think Google's stock JB ROM is worth a try but cannot find a way to flash it on W100 through RECOVERY MODE
Also do you think if copy all the contents from the /system partition of another W100 to mine, my W100 will come back to the stock apps situation as it were?
Yes it will work! But just take the files you only need ™

Hi guys, been using this great phone.for.2 months already. Used a couple of roms in the past but returned to rooted, locked bootloader stock rom with the latest update. I just had a question is it possible to make the settings menu white witout being deodexed? Or at least without modification of system files. Please.note I do not have any sort of recovery installed. Just rooted so I can use greenify and Uninstal bloatware. I really like the white menu, been searching and only foind it in custom.roms. anyway I can do that on stock? thanks in advance. I've decided to.use.stock as I could.find lots.of.bugs.on the.custom roms. Aand.I really like the stock ui. ANY advice?
Hey mate, sorry to inform you but I think you have to deodex. However I think there is another way, I understand you prefer clean stock rom, I can't unlock my bootloader and it is indeed the fastest rom do the following, search on the themes and apps for Honami white settings and you will find a port that even has cpu control.
Go to your apps folder (use root Explorer); delete your settings and settings.odex, and now copy the files you downloaded from the port and copy them with correct permissions. Then reboot and I think you are all done. Also search for an app or way do delete your cache, including dalvik so you avoid errors. I'm thinking about doing this myself so try it and tell me if something went wrong so I can help
