the way i did the JACxROM 1.3 a while back was by grabbing a theme template by cyanogen and looking at what files it contained .. then I grabbed the rom and deleted all the files that werent necessary and voila you have a template

OK!,this is what I was going to try right now. Thanks, for your help

failure at line 5: run_program backuptool.sh backup
Any tip?

have to use the meta folder from a theme zip, look at the update script, they carry out all kinds of actions on rom updates

OK, thanks , I still dont have much idea about it but now I can start looking for much info, thanks!

oh wow i completely forgot to mention that ... heres a generic one that should work for all themes ... so in your theme.zip you should have an app folder and a framework folder since those are the folders that the script will copy over

well thats why I asked for the original build.prop.
I was actually editing my build prop, n only later did I realize I had not made a backup of my original. my phone is not bricked, its working fine, its just that I need to have the original or the most stock build.prop I can get, for comparisons sake also.

Hi Babcocca
I am totally confused that what exactly you are trying to do and why you are installing Goggle Dialer
Please post screenshots of exact error you are facing.

Can someone post the Motorola Dialer APK?

Please? I was trying to get google dialer working and in the process accidentally deleted the stock one, and now I don't have a working dialer.

KitKat or Lollipop?

Lolipop please

I don't have it for Lollipop but I'll nag my friend for you.
@ewalk4866- help this guy out!

Yep, it's kinda tricky when there's no ROM or factory image to pull it from. No worries, my buddy is gonna post it for you shortly.

sorry guys im not rooted but what you can do is take the rom from the nand backup thread and us the app Nandroid Manager and us that to remove the dialer app from the backup. Thats the only way I know of to help you. Hope that helps

Alright, I downloaded the nandroid and put the dialer in system/priv-app. But even after setting all permissions and everything it still refuses to work. I get a force close error. This is driving me crazy!!!

You set perms to RW--R--R and rebooted?
And the .odex for it?

Yeah, it shows up in the launcher but its force closing.
Not sure, but maybe its cause the nandroid was on a different version?

I dunno, I'd think it would work regardless of the version, as long as it's the lollipop one. Have you tried clearing data for the dialer?

Yeah. Its wierd. All permissions are right and everything. I tried clearing the data. I might just install the entire backup as that has to make it work. I never would of dreamed of having this big an issue with a simple thing on my old nexus 5 haha.

Yeah well the N5 is a completely different animal. There are a couple system images over in development, just grab one and dirty flash it. You should be good to go then without losing any of your data.

Looks like you need to use mfastboot, which I have zero experience with.
