Database Develop

Using Qtadb

Wondering how to install apps to replace apps already in the phone...
Such as Phone.apk
When i use copy it seems to just copy what ever app into the directory shown on the right side. Should they be installed? Should the old apps be deleted foirst then the new ones copies or installed?
If I wanted to use Qtadab to install a new boot animation how would I do that?
copy did not work. the old one is still there.
Trying not to bork the phone. I already had to reload the ROM once becasue I removed some apks that began causing FCs.
Thanks

[Q] Missing Dialer 2.2.2 (phone.apk i think?)

Hi
I accidently removed dialer 2.2.2 from the device using Titanium Backup, and i need to restore it in order for my phone calls to work.
I tried downloading some froyo Phone.apk but i cant install. It stops fast and syas "Application not installed" when i click it.
I put it in /system/app/ using adb. I didnt work either to install it through adb. It said cannot find file.
I need a original copy of Phone.apk and maybe some explanation of how to install it as it were before i removed it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960374 has a complete dump of 2X global version. You can find the dialer in there.
There are several threads about the joys of reinstalling system apps (usually ppl killed the launcher) among them are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992945
EDIT: next time freez in stead of uninstalling... frozen apps will be restored by a simple factory reset. uninstalled won't.

Thx I am downloading and hoping it will work with the original Phone.apk

it should work.

I downloaded the package and pushed the Phone.lnk to the /system/app/ directory. After that i went to a file browser on the phone and tried to execute the Phone.apk file.
It came with the same message. Do i need to install through adb or hard reset?

You don't need to install apk when putting in /system/app.
Copy apk to sd, download and install rootexplorer copy apk forom sd with rootexplorer go to system/app push button “mount R/W“ paste apk and reboot the phone. Done

Well isnt that the same as using adb.
I have the Phone.apk from the optimus 2x dump in the /system/app/ folder now, but i doesnt fix the problem. It doesnt seem to get installed when rebooting.
How can i see if its installed. I checked Titanium Backup, which still shows the Dialer 2.2.2 grey with strike-through (Data backed up, with no possiblity of restore).
How do i force it to "reinstall" upon reboot.

I tried restoring a widget that i removed, and that worked, so maybe the phone.apk is installed after i pushed it to /system/app, but something else is wrong.
What could be the problem? Missing data or something, which i need to restore somehow?
Isn't there a way to reflash the device with original rom?
Any ideas?

I downloaded the Global System.zip from this forum. I successfully went to the android recovery menu on the phone. I can choose to update the phone using System.zip on sdcard.
Is that the way to go?

have solved the problem?
Is possible to edit the phone.apk? the stock "incall" app is simple orrrrrrible

i too am missing my dialer app. whenever i touched the phone icon it would crash and go to home screen i thought if i uninstalled it and reinstalled it with titanium pro it would fix it. but it now wolnt let me reinstall. ive been searching the forum and trying different ways to fix the issue but nothing is working so far ... how can i get this is work?

Phone.apk
Did you guys figure this out? I installed

[Q] Medscape app uninstall and cleanup

I tried posting this in the app and themes forum but had no luck, I have an issue with the Medscape app. I wasn't able to update the library so I uninstalled the app and manually deleted the library files from me Medscape folder, later I learned that the update problem was because of the adblock app. I solved that and tried to reinstall Medscape, so far so good. When I try to re install the library files, the app tells me theres no update available (???) and it shows the current files as if they are installed, but the folder is still deleted and when I try to look up something in the database, nothing comes up.
Is there a way to wipe completely the Medscape db registry so I can do clean install?
Thanks a lot

I had the exact same problem and I wasn't able to solve it... Only a factory reset did it...
I'm not root but if you are root go to /data folder and delete medscape info from that. I think it might work.
The problem is that you deleted the Mescape folder from your SD card but it contains a database file (maybe the index of articles) so anything you search returns nothing!
The solution would be to delete that old account information and data, and I think it resides in the /data folder but I can't confirm that because I'm not root.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. Nothing related to medscape on the /data folder. I'll keep looking or I'll clean install when I flash Gingerbread

Having similar Medscape problem, this time I cannot delete Medscape pics/icons in my Gallery. Practically FC's whenever I try to open.
These are .PNG files - is there a trick to delete these?
===
UPDATE: I discovered that I could delete one of the PNG pics in the Gallery folder but not delete a second one - the Gallery app would freeze. It actually required a power ON/OFF to "reset" the gallery folder (whose ("number of files") did show that the pic was indeed deleted) and permit me to delete another image. For some reason, as I was fiddling with the FILES app, a Medscape folder popped up (it hadn't appeared before) and it had hundreds of low-kb files in it, including the PNGs. Luckily I was able to delete this Medscape folder without a hitch... other than the 2 minutes it took to actually delete. And wouldn't you know it: my Epic is running faster than ever. What is in that Medscape app I wonder...

cheers/dom

My issue is another,
I m using SG2 rooted, i removed my ad blocker and re install Medscape.
So i finaly managed to start instaling the resaurces .... the resaurces started from 1 of 24 ...and downloading ...
Is it logical to keep downloading ...after the 24 ... has been downloaded already?
for example 34 of 24 ...and keep going??

Hi!
I've a problem when trying to update my Medscape app. When I try to get ref updates, it suddently appears: "Not able to complete download at this time"
I've read this post , where they speak about ad blocking apps causing this problem, however I'm using cyanogenmod CM11 M12, without any apps of this kind, more over, I searched for Hosts file, and when I open it, there's only this line: "127.0.0.1 localhost". I don't know what else to do, I've tried unistalling the app, cleaning all data before so, In deed, I've also tried to do a clean install of CM11 M12, with no luck.
Wish you could help me!

Deleted Phone.apk from my Dell streak
I had done the same thing, deleted phone.apk, settings.apk, and contact.apk.
I found a new update on the internet that has ICS look and feel so I deleted the apks my self trying to copy the new ones. That was it. the phone did not stop crashing FC and I could not do anything no matter what I do. Finally I had to do a full factory reset and everything was fine.

[Q] New Android Market crashing, unable to install old one

Hi Everyone,
Looking for help for an issue, I installed the new android market and was messing around with Titanium Backup (forgot to backup the app, dumb me!) anyway I tried to uninstall the new market to go back to the old one but when I did this the market app is gone from the manage apps area. My phone is a N1, running 2.3.4 and rooted, this what I have tried:
- Install the old market manually from a downloaded vending.apk, not working crashes to .com.android.vending every time
- After this I went to look in the /system/app folder for vending.apk and the app is not there, neither I am unable to copy the app using Droid Explorer or Root explorer, it says it is coping the app but is not there
- Re-install gingerbread update again to see if it gets the app back, did not work, still not in system/app folder
Does anyone know why I am unable to copy the vending.apk to the system/app folder? the phone is rooted but still can-t
Thanks!

If you're having problems with root permissions, try using ROM Manager to fix permissions. Another possibility could be busybox, so I recommend installing the version with Titanium backup (under the Problems? section of the menu).
Updating the market can be tricky, but I always find wiping data from Google Services Framework and (use app manager) Market (easier to use Titanium), and rebooting helps. Make sure you reboot before trying to use the Market...

I didn-t know about the Fix Permissions feature of ROM manager, I tried it and it work, I can now place the file on the system/app folder.
Thanks a lot!
