SETTINGS > APPS > DEFAULTS doesn't work
CLEAR DEFAULTS doesn't work
RESET APPS doesn't work
ANYTHING IN THE "SETTINGS" WILL WORK
Any obvious answer DOES NOT WORK.
This may seem like a newbie question, But this newbie here Has Exhausted all of your newbie suggestions.
(note: looking for a solution, not specific to zoiper, but for any voip app. i use zoiper but i have tried with a few other voip apps with no success.)
I have been searching for years now, trying to find a way to force "zoiper" to replace "phone"
In the last year, after trying 5 completely different roms, zoiper doesn't even appear as a choice in the default phone app list.
This will require an advanced solution, I am hoping it will be found in modifying a .xml or .prop file, rather than having to change the framework. (which is where i draw the line)
Good luck with this XDA,
I among many frustrated Voiper's will be forever grateful for a practical solution.

Hello guys,
Since 3 days now I can't start any purshased app (only see the loading screen then close itself) and I can't buy any app on marketplace, even free apps, always get 80004005 error...
I really don't know wt* is going, I don't have touched my registry (ok just the device name for testing but I set it back to OMNIA7).
Only sideloaded apps works. :/
I already tried to resynch the Live account but don't solve.
Anyone have an idea ?
Thanks.
Changing the device name is one of those NO SERIOUSLY DON'T MESS WITH THIS registry values - I thought the handful of places that ever recommended doing so had put up warning to that effect a while ago, but maybe not. It appears to break the DRM scheme the marketplace uses.
As for things to change... I assume you've tried rebooting the phone already? Also, make sure the registry value is exactly what it used to be, case sensitive and so forth.
In worst case, a hard reset will completley fix it. Registry changes are, fortunately, just in the Flash storage and are wiped in a hard reset.
Yeah.. I did a backup and reseted the phone, now it works.
And I lost all my SMS one more time.
I really wish there was a good way to back those up. It's difficult to extract and restore the SMS store.
Hi ninjy,
this is a problem of the marketplace at the moment.
I got many emails from users that have this problem with my app Week View.
I wrote something about it on my blog: http://www.hannesbiribauer.com/wordpress/?p=800
The problem is also disussed in the Ms answers forum and there is a thread for it in the WPDevFeedback Forum: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-dev-platform/suggestions/7168298-provide-fix-for-c101a7d1-when-updating-80004005-w
greetings,
Hannes
Hi All,
I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of (IF SUCH A UTILITY EXISTS) a webpage / App / Windows Utility, that can open a pre-made existing custom rom. And say for example it can.....
1) Change the Build.Prop file, from Chinese to English and strip out any other unneeded settings.
2) Remove Chinese Apps, or any other unneeded Apps
3) Replace key Chinese Apps, with English Apps... (ie: swap pre-configured MS Bing Voice keyboard to Google Keyboard)
Basically, just tidy up a pre-released Chinese rom, into English....
Does such an App, or service exist....??? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction please...
Thanks, Lister
What you are asking for is very complex and is never one in the same across other devices. In this typical situation the best solution is to manually make the changes.
Hi Modding.MyMind,
Thank you for your quick reply, indeed I was able to make the changes post (AFTER) the initial setup, which I had to exit the setup process as the built in Voice Keyboard didn't recognise some of the words I was saying, and there was no fall back typing keyboard to type what I intended. So it meant I missed some of the in-setup questions / options. Sure, I can sign into my Google account once swapped out to the Google Keyboard that I kept on the SD card. But things like personalizing it were missed.
I'm sure about a year ago or so, there was an App on the PlayStore that could packup your installed live rom, and turn it into a flashable rom. Sure I guess thats what CWM or TWRP project can do... But sure there was a specific App that made it more like a rom packager...??
Any clues...?? Thanks, Lister

Hi there. First of all I'm sorry if this is not the right place to post this.
Anyway, someone I know bought an used iPhone 6 only to discover that it's somehow an Android device heavily modded (it looks like an iPhone 6 on the outside, which is an issue because it doesn't have the three buttons the android apps are meant use). I'm not even sure if it's possible to make this usable, the iOS stuff is glitchy and Android apps don't seem to work that well either.
I'm not really a developer but I play around with Tasker/xposed and stuff so when I realized there wasn't an actual shortcut for the android settings (I can only access the iOS version of the settings, which the factory reset doesn't seem to be working), I decided to download the trial version of Tasker and see what I could fiddle so I could find out how this was done. On my first try I couldn't find a thing and now Tasker keeps crashing, I can't keep it open long enough to enable logging.
The root seems to have been made using the kingroot app (evidenced by the KingUser, which was the only thing I could find). Removing root access doesn't seem to do a thing.
Sooo... I've ran out of options and decided to post it here as a far cry for help. I realize I have not given you much and more info is probably required, but I'm not sure how to acquire it. The "About phone" on the menu doesn't give me much, device name is Android, Carrier is unknown and Version is 8.1.2 (12A405). Model number is MG492CH/A.
Thanks for your help and I'm sorry I couldn't provide any more useful information.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. A goggle search of your model number shows it as an iphone clone. It doesn't surprise me that it uses Android as iOS would be next to impossible obtain. But the bad news is there is no information on XDA about your device. The closest I could find was this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778862 To return to stock you'd need the android factory image for your phone and a method to flash it. Both would be specific to the phone. The only other thing I can suggest is to ask in this forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Hello everyone
i think this is my first post or one of the first on this forum, i'm a videogame modder(vice-boss at VStanced.com) who for fun also mods/dismounts/analyzes everything that slips in his hands(like, seriously every single thing). I have a semi-good knowledge of java and from some years i'm learning more and more about android, yet(as you can see) i still need help from time to time to figure out some stuff.
So, enough of presentation, time to talk about what i came here for.
I've been gifted a Cubot X9 some days ago, so the first thing i did was rooting(Kingroot -> Supersu-me) and applying a custom recovery(TWRP), i backed up rom and nvram with sp flash tool and the base rom(just rooted and recovery-ed) from recovery to make sure that in case i f**kd up something i could restore it without issues.
After that i restored all the additional apps and a couple gapps(Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Google Account Manager, Google Latin Keyboard) from a backup(Titanium Backup) of my old phone, a LG P990(Optimus Dual/X2/Star/Speed) and it all worked straight at first try. As soon as i finished restoring these i got myself a new recovery backup to prevent having to redo everything once again.
At the moment there are still 4 things that "bother" me, i've not been able to install Dialer, Contacts and Messaging apps from that same backup(they're a lot more comfortable than Cubot's original ones) because they just f**k up the whole thing, after a restart(either with or without cache/dalvik cleanup) System starts flickering/turning on and off and with it the background and the SIM control(it stop receiving any signal/recognizing the sim and wont allow me to open the sim selector/editor - for dual sim mode).
I've installed the first two apps(Dialer and Contacts) flawlessly with a root explorer(ES file explorer) and after deleting all odex files related to the old apps they worked well, cant say the same for Messaging(Mms.apk), it works but as soon as i press either on a received message, on the "new message" button or on "setup" it crashes to desktop.
Moreover, i'm not able to install the data backup(i'm mainly interested in contacts and messages but also the calls history) from Titanium Backup otherwise i'll get those issues i said above.
Mind both phones are 4.4.4 and so are their apps, on the LG P990 i had installed Slimroms' Slimkat but those apps i named should all be stock Google KitKat's ones(correct me if i'm wrong) and thus should work 1:1 on any 4.4.4 OS. Should.
You may ask me why i dont simply use google's backup system, so here's the answer, it is because i just dislike uploading my personal data and i honestly prefer figuring out how to do stuff manually.
I tried moving the *.db files from the old phone but they either cause to not show any messages(mmssms.db) or to not receive signal/not recognize the sim(telephony.db).
I have also installed an app called WAPPushManager.apk(com.android.smspush) from the old phone because i thought it could be somehow connected with the crash from clicking on the new message button but nothing changed.
So now i'm kinda lost, i have no clue if i'm missing to delete/add some files, or replace/add some apps.
Here's a few pics of the apps of which i'm speaking
I hope someone will be able to help me out on this, thanks a lot everyone for even bothering reading all this drama. hahaha
Also, yeah, you noticed well, i said that there are 4 things that bother me but i talked only about 3 things so here's the 4th:
this is more like a random question than a real issue or anything else(since i didnt even try yet). I would like to get the system bar and options/setup menu from the old phone(LG P990 Slimkat) to the new one(Cubot X9) but i have no clue if it is doable or not and what it eventually implies.
I'm looking forward for some magic to happen, thanks again

Alright, i've been able to transfer all my contacts, calls and messages using an app called Super Backup, it did the trick quite quickly.
I still cant figure out why the Mms.apk wont work, i sent it over to a couple friends and all of them installed and used it right away. I am now almost sure the Cubot wont work correctly with it because it's dual-sim... in case there's anything(scripting wise) that can be done to make it work properly?
Well i kinda solved all my problems, for some reason that app just dont want to work on this phone, i downloaded another "kitkat 4.4 stock messaging app" from google play and it worked straight on... or almost, because for some reason that Super Backup program was messing my messages in a way that i had two threads for each person, one with sent and the other with received messages. Analyzing the *.xml file created by that tool i realized that it was using spaces between the numbers only for either received or sent messages(i didnt bother checking which of the two was it).
A basic example:
<sms address="+391234567890" time="22/gen/2016 09:18:58" date="1453450738028" type="1" body="THIS IS MY TEXT" read="1" service_center="+291234567890" name="" />
versus
<sms address="+39 123 45 67 890" time="22/gen/2016 09:18:58" date="1453450738028" type="1" body="THIS IS MY TEXT" read="1" service_center="+29 123 45 67 890" name="" />

It made so that the phone recognized those as different numbers and thus create the issue i said above.
I hope this little self-research thread will help someone else too in the future, thanks for reading.

Hi,
Thanks for using xda assist.
I see you've solved your problem. Thanks for being so thorough with your post. This should help others with the same problem. Enjoy the site :good:
Thread closed.
Thank you in advance. First of all I am still a beginner in knowledge here. My Alcatel fierce 4 TCL 5056N seems to have been hacked and is now being remotely accessed and controlled by an unauthorized 3rd party. I may be way off base but I think my phone may have been exposed to a R.A.T.. Temporarily rooted long enough for someone to modify the kernel and other system coding, which I cannot access myself with an unrooted phone, installing some sort of sub-OS with limited user setting options and a completely different named storage platform,( I.e. emulated, bdef55, self), and not even factory resetting my device helps because it reboots into the sub-OS they installed. They are screen overlaying buttons, and toggles are being reversed in real time before my eyes, settings and options are disappearing from one minute to the next and I've somehow found myself poking around in some windows software on a PC that is used to develop Android software, maybe sdk, not sure but was Linux coding and looked like it was meant for me. I was on the other end of this hack for a few minutes tho but my lack of knowledge made this useless to me. I have downloaded many an app trying to combat this issue but to no avail. Although unsuccessful I have seen a few thing I don't understand but could possibly be helpful for you to identify exactly what my issue is. One thing is an app I downloaded said that a trust cert has enabled a malicious trust agent and my system is being remotely accessed by a third party. The rest is beyond my understanding but I'm going to list a few tidbits you may recognize. LIB, Kinguser, kingroot, persist, unremovable/???/xxx, code Aurora, bootstrap something, libnfc, system/framework/Apache/xml, bin, user value=0 or 1/2, managed provisioning, also a .base ext. on a bunch of sytem apps below the same app without and a few of others. I don't know if that's helpful but it's all I can remember. Symptoms are apps closing on their own, microphone and camera being remotely enabled, unable to update Google play services or store and being forced to use an obviously older and modified version with possible replica apps with restrictions, unexpected reboots, in settings/apps/permissions apps like gallery, when you click battery and then the little i button for info, it says it's a system app and all of the sudden the disable and force close buttons become un-highlighted and unusable and so on and so forth. Lastly, my home wifi is infected I think as well because my roommate is having the same issues. I've tried(unsuccessfully) to root my phone so I could manually remove some of these apps and extra coding and such but it seems impossible because of a locked bootloader. Tried about 10 different ways without success so I've just about given up and smashed the damn thing but then you geniuses popped into my head so I beg of you, please help me or if nothing else, tell me to proceed with the smashing...lol! Thank you very much for your time. P. s. I'm new to XDA dev website so maybe drop me a line at [email protected] with directions back to this thread. Had a bit if trouble navigating here. Thanks again and have a great day! -Spencer
