hi everybody,
i have a problem:i installed picspeed wallpapers from the market to change my wallpaper,but when i uninstalled it,i couldnt'change no more wallpaper in home screen and in the block screen. it says that"twwalpaperchooser" has stopped and i have to retry,but if i try i can't change my wallpapers..i try to uninstall the process,and install another i find on the net but the application can't be installed..how can i return to use the standar wallpaper changer?
somebody has the original APK to give me so i can'try to install it again?
how can i solve this littel problem?
thank's to all for your answers!!!

nobody can help me?

maybe i only need to reinstall the correct APK but i don't now where i can find it...

Im not too sure what is causing this problem to your phone.
But maybe you can try this wallpaper setting app from tne market called: wallpaper wizardrii.
Hope this helps

Sounds like an odd issue but I empathise with you. Can you try clearing the cache from your market to see if you can reinstall the app? Let us know the outcome.

No you don't.
Just take the apk from your original ROM. It is called TwWallpaperChooser.apk.
Paste it into system/app and reboot.
If you are on an odexed ROM, you will need to copy TwWallpaperChooser.odex also.

i uninstalled this APK and i tried with a new one,but it didn't succeded

In that case you did something wrong.
Which ROM are you using? Is it odexed or deodexed?

oh thank you very much!

OK, found it.
Download this zip and extract the two files inside. Copy them on to your SD card and then using Root Explorer, or whichever file explorer you use with root permissions, go into system/app and if they are there, delete TwWallpaperChooser.apk and TwWallpaperChooser.odex.
Then paste the two files on your SD card into system/app. Before you reboot, you will need to change the file permissions for both of the files. To do this in Root Explorer, long press on each file and select 'permissions'. Then you want to select the boxes as shown below (1 = tick and 0 = no tick).
110
100
100
Then press OK.
Then reboot.

thank you very much...i tried but nothing the issue remains...so tomorrow i'll flash the new KL7 rom and i'll see if i'll solve it(i think so).
Thank you,you have been very kind!

Block an OTA update?

If some of us who are happy with our phones and would rather not take the update is there a way to do that. I remember I changed a build prop but I am unsure if that still works. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. Thanks Pete.

If you are on GB and are rooted you can use titanium back up to freeze "updater" and you will no longer get the annoying messages. Not sure for KK.

I am on kk...rooted / unlocked and I don't see "updater" in titanium back up...maybe its labeled differently?

3c_ota.apk on KK.

Isn't it a bad idea to block this OTA since it has some security fixes?

Find that apk & rename it to .bak to stop the update.

Please post your questions in the question and answer section

Could you explain exactly how to go about freezing this? Usually when I freeze an app in Titanium Backup, I look at the list of apps in Backup/Restore, click on the one I want, and then freeze it. But this app is not in the list - also, the list doesn't contain .apk files.
Someone said to rename the .apk file, but if it's already installed, how's that going to help?
Thanks.

If on JB the system/app has update or ota in the name. On KK system/priv-app has ota in the name. Change the .apk to .bak then reboot.

Thanks, done. But how does renaming the APK file help? Isn't an APK the uninstalled version? Wouldn't I have to disable the installed version somehow?

No, all sys apps install on boot, if not present no install. There is no uninstall.

it doesnt matter, once the updates stop, the update app wont be changed because you never get an update.

I'm on 4.4.2 and you rename an apk with a file explorer.

Not sure if the system checksum will fail on the renamed apk. But you may have to fix it before you take L if it comes. That is if you manually flash L it may fail due to the wrong name. Then of course if you do not fix the file you will never get L automatically.

Sorry I was talking to you like you were a 3rd party lol. Thank you for the information. So your saying if I ever manually flash L or L comes to this phone as an ota I will need to fix the apk? Basically I either fix the apk or the phone stays as is? I appreciate your time thanks Pete.

Stock browser

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...

Would someone be able to extract the stock messaging app apk?

And pretty please share it with me? I've been trying to extract it from the rom with no luck, can someone just extract it from their device?
Thanks.

I tried from UPDATE.app, and when that failed, I was able to extract the system.img from it, but failed as well.
Opening it up just shows unrelated folders, and I don't know where the apps are located.

Mount system.img using ext4 ..
Later goto /system/priv-app
And search for the folder called MMS.
Copy the whole folder and place it in /system/priv-app on your phone .
Just reboot and it wil appear

Hey, thanks for the help.
I've been searching on resources on how to mount as EXT4 but I can't find anything, I won't be able to.
It's not a big deal, I just wanted to give it a try, but I'm sure i'd just go back to textra eventually.

I fixed it. I installed mixplorer that supports a13. Thanks mate!

Can anyone else confirm if Mixplorer let's you read and write in the Android/data folder in Android 13? I have a pixel 6 and I've tried a few file managers and they let me go in the data folder and when I select the folder I want to open it lets me select choose to give this folder access at the bottom for all the folders I go in. The same cannot be said for my Samsung s21. it won't allow me to give access to any folder in the data directory. I was just trying to get some info before I purchase Mixplorer. I'll most likely buy it either way because I've read nothing but good things about it. any feedback will help. thanks
EDIT: I went ahead and purchased Mixplorer and I can access the Android data folders and everything just fine. I can edit files and move them as well on my Galaxy s21. it's a really beautiful UI and the app is really nice. I planned on purchasing it either way. Big ups to the dev.
