I finally discovered what it is that causes a very annoying icon I have in my notification bar and am not able to get rid of.
I tried the Modaco rom for a couple of days and the icon was gone, now I am back to CyanogenMod and the icon is back again.
I tried force closing Sim Toolkit and yes, the icon disappears, unfortunately, so does my connection.
Is there any way to simply uninstall Sim Toolkit, since I assume the phone should be working without it as it is not there in the Modaco roms?
The Sim Tool Kit is part of the stock image. You will need to root and install something like Titanium Backup which allows you to uninstall stock applications.

Is anyone with a VZW Dev Ed phone having problems with uninstalling apps after installing the 4.4 system images? I was able to flash the images that Motorola posted on their site and get root but now I cannot uninstall apps. Every time I try to uninstall an app (such as root checker) the phone will get to the "Confirm Uninstall" text but will immediately shut off once I hit "OK". The screen goes dark and it takes about 15 seconds before it goes back to the lockscreen, with the app still in the drawer.
I'm wondering if some of my system data got corrupted when I flashed 4.4 because tapping "Security" in settings FCs the entire thing.

Reflashed 4.4 and got everything working.

A couple days ago my phone app started force closing immediately upon opening it every time. It doesn't work at all now. I am rooted, but I rooted weeks ago and this just started yesterday or the day before. I haven't messed with anything. The only thing that I have done is download apps from the play store... None of which 'should' mess with the phone app.
I have since downloaded an alternative dialer app which works, but I'd rather use stock. I tried rebooting, tried clearing the app's cache and data (in system settings - apps) and no luck.
Any help would be great. Either finding/fixing the issue or a way to reinstall the stock phone app? I am rooted and I believe write protection is off, which I had to do to install busybox. Thanks!

What version are you on. 4.2.2 or 4.4
There is a couple things i would try i have had to do it with other phone specially my old S3
1. restore from a backup when i the dialer was not FC
2. try reinstalling the dialer from the APK located here device/system/prvi-app/dialer.apk
3. pull the dialer.apk out of the correct stock ROM or recover img and replace the one located in the above folder and install it.
but to be honest option one is normally the best way to go and the fastest.
Thanks. I'm on 4.4. I'm going to try option 2 when i get home. I'm not exactly sure how to restore a backup on this phone yet being that i dont really have a recovery.
Edit: option 2 installed ok, but still force closes
let me get you the .apk from the restore img give me about a hour to download it and get you a link
also do you know how to use titanium backup if so i would install it and back up all user apps and data because you might have to do a factory reset. but if you backup with TB you and restore everything right back to ware you was

I received my LG L90 D410hn yesterday and was happily fooling around. Summing up, all I'd done was:
instaling LG OTA update
successfuly rooting it (towel)
installing greenify pro/donation edition
installing Classic Messaging
Installing Google Launcher (sideloading apk)
Greenifying the bloatware described all along this thread
Eveything was running smooth and crisp, but the dialer design really got to my nerves. So I decided to try to install my LG Optimus 2X custom rom's dialer (The ROM) because that is NEAT.
I backed up my original Phone apk and other related apps with ES File Explorer just in case and uploaded the apks to my Dropbox.
Then I proceeded to uninstall the Phone app. The try was rewarded with a "unsuccesful" message, but the app was seemed gone from the system apps list. So I tried to install the dialer from the Custom rom... no success. I decided to give up, restored the back up and everything was OK.
I went to bed and even dreamed about this marvelous phone, just to wake up to a... Well:
"com.android.phone crashed" messages
no access to any of my SMS apps - stock or Classic Messaging. It just closes with no warning or error message
No data connection. Actually, my SIM wasn't recognized at all after a while
I took my SIM card and put it back in my old phone and, until I rebooted for the second time, the card was problematic, but now it's ok.
How can I clean this mess? I tried to clean the Phone cache to no success, then proceeded to a factory reset with the same outcome
(I have no MicroSD card on the L90)
Follow this Guide and reflash stock rom. :good:

When you place your original dialer back into its original place, make sure the permissions are r-w-rr, and then reboot. If that doesn't work, I'm sure someone else can help you out. There's a fix for this besides reflashing the KDZ.

Thank you, guys! I ended up reflashing KDZ. It was a breeze though, so no hard feelings.
I did, indeed, read about the permission settings, but couldn't find a good guide at the time so I let it slip.
Reflash KDZ didnt fix it for me
I have an almost identical problem after attempting to install the google dialer. I reflashed the phone but it still had all the previously loaded apps still in it including the dialer and services. Any ideas what to do next? The dialer and services have the correct permissions. I noted in another post that the version on these is 0.
Finally got access to a PC and rooted and flashed recovery on my R1 but I tried the steps to get rid of the lockscreen apps and OTA update. Lockscreen ads are gone but the notification to update software is still there. Also how can I also remove all the Amazon apps normally once I have root I use titanium backup to remove apps but it will not work but I have root. Very confused been flashing phones since the g1

I don't get notifications working. Tried just about everything. Different stock roms, unlocked or locked bootloader, with or without twrp, with or without SuperSU/Magisk root...
In SafeCenter, and in later 3.5 Roms 'Security' app I disable all auto accelerate, anti spam, antivirus, auto cleanup. I white listed all apps/associated apps in autostart.
Enabled/disabled USB debugging.
Disabled all apps in Battery optimization
Sync on in account settings
In notifications settings everything enabled.
And still I don't get no freaking notifications! Only if open the app the notification appears..
Anything else I could try, and please don't tell me to use custom ROM! I want to get this fixed, it should be possible right?!
Edit;
Currently running 3.5.344ST/unlocked/twrp/supersu root
did u use a backup to restore apps or did u fresh install from store?
move app for /system/priv-app
Was it solved by moving into system/priv-app?
Did you get to the bottom of this ?
It makes a difference if you upgrade from very old ROM versions, or newer versions.
E.g. I started with ZUI 1.9xx (QFIL) and then OTA all the way up to the newest version (3.4xx)
Everything basically worked, but I had battery issues and some notification issues which I couldn't fix.
Then I tried to encrypt my device and it critically failed, so I had to switch to a new ROM anyway.
Then I took the newest possible full ROM for QFIL, I think it was ZUI 3.1xx and then OTA the short way up to the newest version.
Now Everything works, also encryption and with good battery life and notifications. But I feel the ROM is a little less snappy then before, maybe because of encryption.
Besides it still has 2 turn-downs:
- Some apps like Amazon Prime Video complain about an "uncompatible device ID" thus won't start
- Language is english and I can't manage to change the language permanently (not even with morelocale and ADB commands)
So our ZUK2 Pro's always have some funny behaviour... But I really feel the device is at its best now after ~1 Year in my pocket.
€dit: All with locked bootloader and without root
