Where did my sms app dissappear? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well i think that after installing cwm recovery, i realized that my sms app is gone. What happened? I can't find it in the system/app folder, i can't find it anywhere..
I don't think that is related with the cwm installation, but anybody else had similar problem? And also can someone post the sms app and odex file from 4.1.2 here coz i hate to flash my phone again.
Thanks

Maybe it's a silly suggestion but... is there any chance that you have hide it?
In Programs screen, press options hardware button, scroll down and click "show hidden applications".

Nope, the option is grayed. No hidden apps

What if it is accidentally disabled?
Go to Apps > Settings > Application Manager > slide twice to the right > All and scroll down to Messaging.
If the Messaging application exists, tap once on it and look for a button to enable it.

No.
But I flashed 4.1.2 again and now it's ok

Anyone have a fix for annoying handcent issue?

Greetings...
I have an annoying issue with handcent where when I change the theme to Black background the settings do not save and a pop up message indicating Release Notes appears anytime I launch the program.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue? I found this thread but none of the solutions are available for my phone.

I also noticed that my settings in GOSMS do not save either.
Thanks in advance.

Go to dbdata/databases and delete the folder for handcent and gosms (com.jb.mms)

When I go to dbdata, it is empty. I don't see the databases folder and I have view hidden folders option enabled. As well, my phone is rooted.
You need root explorer or
Sufbs or other file explorers

I thought about that so I loaded "file manager", "mini file manager" but didn't see it there either. I will give either root explorer or look for others.
So I gave myself root access to a utility called Super Manager and was able to see the databases file. Removed the handcent file as previously mentioned and all is good now.

Is it safe to remove the "system update" from titanium backup?

I am using the rooted v20n from this forum and already remove almost all other LG stuff. But I am not sure about the "system update" because it is in system settings. It seems to be running all the time as a service and uses some ram so I wonder if it's safe to kill it.

Don't remove, freeze system apps! If you remove those apps it will be impossible to restore them usually!
I don't think it will cause problems, but there are some menu references to that item and clicking them could cause errors!

Thank you for your reply. So I think I will just leave it there.

[Q] Uninstalling a app installed in system folder

I recently installed WidgetLocker and installed it in my system/app folder as I read it would work best if installed there. But have come to just not like using it and just gone back to the default kindle lock screen and changed the background wallpapers. I can't seem to find a place on the device or apps I use to uninstall it.
And deleting the .apk from the system folder works, but am unsure if everything is removed.
Would I just delete the .apk in the system/app folder then remove any links/shortcuts or is there another, proper, way to do it?

The app manager of a handy program called ROM TOOLBOX can uninstall system files. Just load it, then a long press on the offending "app will reveal menu including uninstall.
Awesome, thank you. Guess I should have this on my device for a while

Yeah, that's what I first did and shortcuts and some of the data and its folder still remained, but I uninstalled with ROM Toolbox and it worked out nicely. Got rid of most of what I wanted gone.

Cannot copy to clipboard

Hi, does anyone has the same problem with me?
Every i copy text to clipboard, my device will not responding, and need to restart.
Anyone know what cause this?
I just reflash the stock rom and it fix the problem, but now the problem come again.
Somebody please help.
Edit:
I've found the answer
ROOT your device, install ROOT Explorer, navigate to / > data > clipboard, select ALL and delete all, than go into your Settings > Applications Manager > All, look for TestServices, than remove updates/clear data. Reboot and everything should be fine.

2.4.1 to 2.6.1 install

I just updated my ROM to Beanstalk 4.4.285 and now xposed does not work. It is still showing up as being installed in the all apps list. The app drawer does not show it anywhere. My installed modules are still listed. I downloaded the newest version from the website but it says it is already installed and the signature is a mismatch. I can not uninstall as I do not have the app listed. Anyway to remove it to reinstall?
I'm confused, you say you can't uninstall it because the app is not listed but you also say it is showing in the all apps list. Do you just mean it isn't showing in the app drawer? If so, that doesn't matter. Go to the all apps list and uninstall it from there. Then install the update and it should work.

Going to Settings > Apps > Downloaded does not show it, swiping to the All column shows the Xposed Installer. Clicking on this only gives me 2 options, Force stop, and disable. There is no uninstall option button. I have Clear data, Clear cache, Backup.. but no uninstall

it sounds like xposed came with your rom. is this the case? if so, you may need to go to your rom's thread to get help.

It's a system app, that's why you can't uninstall it from settings. Either uninstall with xposed disabler zip in recovery or with titanium backup. Then install what you want.

The disabler zip doesn't remove the APK, it just restores the orignal /system/bin/app_process.
TB should work, even though the system app will probably come back when you upgrade your ROM.
Disabling the signature check means that the system APK remains there, which I think is not so nice. Plus, it's quite dangerous: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-disable-it-with-xposed-and-why-you-shouldnt/
Long story short: These are some reasons why I strongly recommend not to include Xposed in ROMs. I won't give you further support, please ask for help in your ROM's thread.
