Hello!
Short: I f'd up my camera software, what should I do?
Long:
Data:
Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
Android 2.2.1 FROYO
Rooted
Pre:
QR code scanners gave a black camera screen and Zombie Booth crashed if I wanted to take a picture with it.
Ive read some things about this, and tried to fix it with a fresh camera.apk and camerafirmwire.apk.
Problem:
Backed up camera and camerafirmwire with TitaniumBackup and uninstalled it with this same program.
I loaded the downloaded fresh apks on my phone and tried to install.
Installation failed.
I tried to replace the apks with ES File Explorer (root). In the system/app direction. My camera app is still not back, installation still fails (from within download and the replaced apks in system/app).
Now I try to restore my files from within TitaniumBackup, it does not exactly crash but it just says restoring the apk forever, it doesnt actually let me install it.
Tried:
Ive searched around a bit, I have not found anything which resembles my problem, Ive seen someone point at SD Maid, Ive tried this, Ive cleaned the files for camera and camerafirmwire. The delete works. After this when I attempt an install it tells me the install fails, but some data is written to sdcard, when I open up SD Maid again, this is seen as dead data and I can remove it again.
The camera does not seem to be working any more, under any program, Ive tried Camera360, but it crashes on startup.
Thank you in advance for reading my thread, I hope you can help me.
Any advice welcome, as I am a noob, as detailed as possible (or links to guides, which I should follow).
I hope it does not come down to a reset/wipe of my phone.
Ive had to do the factory reset once already, it was a real pain.
Thanks in advance,
Toek.

have a g1 running 1.6 dmd64
So I rooted my new g1 through androot method, tried to do some stuff to get a rom, but it said I wasnt fully rooted.. and this is over a month or so time so there were reboots throughout the process, so I tried installing busybox, it said I didnt have enough space in my /system/ folder.. so I read online that its okay to delete some files in /system/apps so I delted the files com.amazon.mp3.apk, im.apk,
improvider -1.apk, gtalkservice.apk, im.odex, improvider.apk, and talk.apk
so installing apps from the market worked for a while. then I rebooted yesterday and whenever I tried to download it got stuck at starting download. at that time google talk and im werent showing up under my apps list. so I tried putting those files back in the system/apps folder, reboot, stilll doesnt work. now I do a wipe of the phone through recovery mode and i'm still have the same problem.. except I have all the default google apps except those that I uninstalled, cant download any others, and cant get any off my sd card because I need a file manager from the market in order to do that.
so is there any way to fix this or am I screwed..? please help!

GtalkService is an iffy one. If you delete GTalkService and GTalk, downloads WILL get stuck at Starting Download. You're gonna have to find this APK again, probably within a GAPPS package, and re-install it to get downloads to work again.
thanks. I just flashed back to 1.6 that I found online
I hope I am posting this in the right place. I successfully rooted using auto-nooter and almost everything seems to be working well - thanks to you all for the great instructions because I am a totally noob in the Android department.
You tube worked (not sure if it was before or after rooting but now it doesn't). This is found at the end of the auto-nooter instructions:
"If your Youtube fails to launch delete /data/data/com.android.youtube"
I can't find "data/data/com.android.youtube" to delete. I have ASTRO installed. Can someone lead me through this please? Thank you.
If you install Titanium backup, there is an option to "Wipe Data" for programs. Just scroll to Youtube in the list of installed programs, hit "Wipe Data" and it should work again. Just don't sign into Youtube afterward, or you'll be in the same place again.
THANK YOU, peiziyu
That was easy - it worked great. xda rocks!
You can use Titanium Backup or ES File Explorer.
No problem. Glad I could help.
You can also use Nook Tools. Sadly this fix doesnt work for me and everything I try only gets it to work for a short period of time.
Don't sign in next time you get it to work.
If you remain signed in when you quit YouTube, it will just close the next time until you wipe data again..
That's because this version of YouTube is not really for Android 2.1, ...
has anyone tried this version? its the froyo/gbread version ported to eclair.

I can't find the wipe data option in the free version, how do you do it?

Start by getting Titanium Backup from the market (free), then start titanium and hit "backup/restore", go down to youtube and then hit "wipe data"
Hoe that helps

Reinstall
I rooted fine last night (and added Zeem launcher) and apparently signed into youtube and closed out. As such youtube stopped working. I tried uninstalling YouTube via Zeem and was going to install it again from the marketplace. But could not find it in the marketplace. I then installed Titanium Backup and it started working again (I didn't go into TB, just installed it). Today it stopped working again, of course I know why now after finding this thread. However, I have already uninstalled it and TB shows that it is uninstalled and I can't find it in the MarketPlace. How can I reinstall YouTube if I can't find it in the MarketPlace?
I am getting the following error in Ti Backup.
Code:
"Warning - System Configuration"
Your system will prevent you form restoring application. To correct this, go to your phone's Settings the in "Applications" and tick the "Unknown Sources" checkbox.
I cannot find that menu so therefore I am stuck in trying to repair YouTube. ES File Explorer does not show anything inside the /data folder that I can delete.
Thx
Edit:
Nevermind, I found the answer. Ti Backup needs an empty SD Card in order to see Apps. YouTube Wipe Data worked perfectly.
I was able to fix my issue.
I shut the nook off (not just the screen) and put in the auto-nooter microSD card again. Plugged the Nook up to the PC and waited. Basicly I was trying to re-root it. My PC started chiming saying it it found new hardware and that it didn't have drivers for it. It did that a few times and after about 2 minutes the Nook was turned on. I first noticed it had my normal wallpaper on it, so I unlocked it and all my apps were still installed, and the YouTube app was on there again.
So it appears that the auto-nooter saw youtube was missing and put it back for me. Looks like I'm keeping that microSD card around in case I ever need it again.
Thank you
Ti Backup worked perfectly!
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...

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!
After TRYING all kinds of suggestions, none of which work, I found one that says:
- copy all google talk service and google talk app to system/app folder
- Grant all possible privilages to them
- Restart the phone.
In what folder is google talk service and google talk app located?
How do you grant them "all privledges'?
Seems to me the last time I attempted to CUT AND PASTE a file to the system/app folder, it wouldn't let me.
This message has come up EVEN AFTER I have installed numerous ROMs.
I appreciate any help!
Did you flash stock in between flashes?. To move a file rlto system/app use adb or super manager
If I have helped press thanks.
Clean install of ROMs
Every time I flash, I go back to stock and do a Master Clear, so my flashes are clean. I use Titanium BU Pro to reinstall apps, BUT do NOT restore system data, just app data.
I'm thinking that the problem MIGHT be related to the syncing of my calendar with the google calendar I have online. Triied doing the data clear, etc....
Like I said, I've tried everything except what I posted in my first post. Problem is, I don't know where the files are located so that I can transfer them to the system folder. This seems like the only other "solution" I haven't tried at this point.
Hate to do it, but I'm thinking about going back to stock 2.2 and see if that makes a difference.
I have a rooted samsung fascinate, with stock rom/kernal..
Anywho I was playin around with installing some apps and I wanted to install the free version of Printershare, but instead of getting it from the market I used an APK file to install it from my sd card. Well the file appears to have been corrupted, so I attempted to uninstall it through root explorer, as well as remove all traces of the program. When I went to reinstall the program from the APP market, I now get the error "Installation Failed.. Update Incompatible." I searched around to figure out what that meant and in the process I noticed that the com.dynamixsoftware.printershare package was still listed in my manage apps section, but I am not able to uninstall it from there. I searched for it in root explorer but like I said I deleted all traces of printershare before so i didnt find it there. If anybody can help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated!! THX!
PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong section I'm new to XDA
Try downloading Titanium Backup from the market. There is a free version and it should take care of your problem. If not, some others have recommended a program simply called Installer for Root.
