Force close after installing fonts - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed some fonts I found in a thread here and now when I go to display> font style it says application settings had stopped unexpectedly. Try again later. I went to system/fonts With root explorer to try and uninstall one by one to find the problem but the ones listed are the ones that were there before I installed any new ones. How can I recover from this?

Download Uninstaller for Root. It should help you find the non native fonts. Then uninstall one st a time. Good luck.

Thanks ill try it. I searches for fonts with root explorer and found them in data/apps. I uninstalled one and went back to check if it worked and it said 'no additional fonts installed'. Weird. Ill try and uninstall them all I guess and start over.

I used root Uninstaller and it found 3 third party fonts. I uninstalled them and it didn't work. I rebooted and it seems to work now. All the fonts I installed are there and working. Thanks a lot.

Transparent Power Control and Genie widget

So I noticed that CM6 Froyo Remix ROM was missing the Genie weather and the customizable Power Control widget. I use only those two widgets on a daily basis and it would be nice if someone could point me in the right direction.
I've already tried Googling and downloading a transparent Genie widget from another site but after installing the widget, my phone had to force close the app maybe because it wasn't compatible?
Anyways, it would be nice if somebody can help me. Thanks in advance!
maybe u can try beautiful widget instead
I've already tried that app and honestly it isn't my cup of tea.
Is it possible to just extract the genie apk from a ROM and install it onto the one I'm currently using?

thats probably because you have to completely uninstall the old one first
go into root explorer or whatever file manage you use and DELETE the newsandweather or geniewidge apk
then reboot, just to be sure
then install it
bet it works then

This ROM I'm currently using didn't come with the Genie weather apk at all. I also confirmed this by using ASTRO to search in the apps folder.

then it may be permissions
paste it in system/app
set it for rw-r--r like the other system apps
then reboot, it will install it on boot up
been awhile since i used it, i forgot about this

I'm sorry but can you tell the procedure step by step with which app I'll be needing to get this accomplished?
Thanks in advanced!

Nvm... I just Googled it myself. C;
I used to ADB to remove the GenieWidget.apk and used this command to reinstall the transparent widget:
adb remount
adb push GenieWidget.apk /system/app/GenieWidget.apk
I'm sure majority of the people here already know how to do all this but I'm typing this as a reference in case I flash my phone again.
Hmm tried to install this on CM6-RC1, but now i can't load my new & weather anymore lol.
Luckily i made a backup.

delete it using Root Explorer. its in /system/app/. you can probably delete it with Titanium Backup too. Astro doesnt have root permissions.

Latest gmail 2.3.2 apk
Just place onto your sdcard and then install.
Works fine on a Samsung Galaxy S i9000
Yes. it is very simple. And I find this always works:
Install the new version, if it fails, reboot the phone or restart the Java VM. Do the install again. Done.
I have the same problem with the last apk of Gmail and with Launcher Pro Plus.
I have solved both in the same way, deleting the original with SUBFS or another root explorer.
i have the same problem.
then,i take a gmail APP form CM 6.1 to install...
i'll done~
try it!
guess this is still for 2.2 only? i've seen various threads on other forums claiming there's a 2.1 version goin around and im not sure if it's modded or not

TW Launcher (default) reinstall

Hello fellow xda members. I had a problem the other day. I installed sgs tools and tried downloading a different launcher. It loaded the launcher fine but I wasn't satisfied. I tried restoring it but it gives the error "folder not found." I was wondering if anybody knows how to reinstall the built in default tw launcher and if I can possibly restore the layout.

I'm sure you could find the apk with a search.
Are you running a custom rom?
No, I'm runnin default android 2.2 froyo. Rooted, but nand backup doesn't work either. A few months ago, I tried backing up with rom manager, but after rebooting, their still wasn't any backups availible to restore. When I boot into system recovery, it doesn't even open cyogenmod reovery.

CM revovery? Stock 2.2? I'm confused.
I tried. Google doesn't show any, only custom launchers and I don't want that.

Did you manually check the sgs tools folder for the backup of your stock launcher?
I've been using the gingerbread launcher from the market and I really like it. Just putting it out there to think about it.
Sorry I meant clockwork recovery mod. THAT didn't work or I wouldn't be asking for a way to reinstall default tw launcher. Thanks for all the current ideas
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
If you still need it, I attached it for you. Just drop it in the system/app folder. Good luck.
Never mind.someone else got it.

The one from the market is super easy. And if you accidentally delete it, it's there to reinstall
This is the one from my phone. Dont know if it is what you are looking for as i am currently running Continuum, but good luck.
I think you might need the .odex file as well since I recall seeing that you are running stock 2.2. Did you delete that file?
I'm not sure. How do I check?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You can use Root explorer or a similar app and navigate to system/app. See if there are .odex files for the corresponding apk's. If the one for the launcher is missing than that would cause the issue. What happens when you try to run the launcher? does it just force close?
edit: I was able to find the apk and .odex file from a stock 2.2 build. Just drop it in hopefully this works. Just unzip and extract the files manually.
I can't find it. All there is is the .odex for the tw launcher wallpaper

Does anyone have the tbolt stock gallery?

So I flashed the bamf 1.5 remix Rom, and I can't find my gallery anywhere. I'm not sure if I deleted it through root explorer. I don't think I did. Anyways, its nowhere to be found in my phone. I downloaded the 3D gallery, and it seems to work ok, but doesn't work in my camera, and I can't add photos for my contacts because it says no pictures exist on my phone. So, it just seems like I need to have the stock gallery for things to be glitch free. Does anyone have a link to the stock tbolt gallery?

Here ya go, hope it works...
Thanks for the fast reply. I tried installing that apk, but it won't install. I even tried extracting the apk from the bamf remix Rom, but that won't install either. Do I need to zip it and flash in in recovery?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
it should be able to install thru adb. Ziping it wont help
I'll have to do it when I get home. I'm at work now. I was hoping I could just put the apk in the system/app folder, but that didn't work either. Thanks again. I'll adb it in the morning.

You have to change permissions to rw-rr

Ok so I opened root explorer, longpressed the htcalbum apk, then clicked permission, selected the appropriate permissions, but they don't change. Am missing a step?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
So after many unsuccessful attempts to install the apk, I just reflashed the Rom, and there it was. I must've deleted the apk when I was removing some of the stock widgets. Anyways, I love this Rom. Adrynalyne, and ThatDudeButch, ... You guys deserve lots of props for your work. I've flashed many roms on many phones, and this is one of the cleanest and coolest roms. And the support on this tom is awesome. The battery life is fantastic even with 4g enabled. Thanks again for all your work. You guys a geniuses.

Titanium Back Up Pro

Has anyone successfully deleted an app from it that has been backed up and in the uninstall section, I hit delete and hope for the best but it seems like the app that I thought should be deleted is back after reboot so am I missing something or do I have to go into ES File Manager as root and try to look for each app individually and delete them?

I think some apps leave behind some 'residue' of theirs instals even after uninstall.
you can try some of these cleaners which specifically do this job.
am assuming that's what you meant

Haven't used them in the recent past, but SD Maid is one that comes to mind.
another one (not very certain of the name) you can try is Root uninstaller or something like that..
