Please help me, i have a Galaxy S gt-i9000 with froyo (rooted) and i downloaded some custom dialer/ contacts and sms packs (it looked nice so i thought .. why not give it a try) but one of the apps said that its recommended to remove the default app so that it wont cause any conflicts. i wanted to uninstall the default dialer app but i ended up uninstalling the "Phone" app .. and now i cant use the contacts widget.. touching a contact wont pop up the menu with options (call, video call, send sms ..)
i wanted to check if i can try anything in Kies (restore or something) but my phone doesn't seem to be recognized anymore in Kies :|
Is there anything to be done?
any advice is deeply appreciated.
i have attached phone apk for you to install. you just need to unzip it and place it under /system /app and then reboot. make sure system is mounted RW
if that fails, reflash the ROM.
thank you for the prompt answer.
i downloaded the zip but i cant get to the root folder .. i mean .. i can only connect the phone in storage mode ...
should i try using a card?

You need either Root Explorer (paid) or Astro File Manager (free) from the market. Storage mode is fine, just copy the unzipped apk from your pc to the internal storage, then use one of the apps above to move it to /system /app.
Make sure you mount /system /app as rw or it wont paste.
ok so i copied it in /app ... asked me if i want to replace .. canceled and tried to run the phone apk that i already had ... it said App not installed.. so i copied and replaced the one from you .. and tried to run .. still no result :|
the phone apk is there ... but i think the dialer app is the one actually missing .. could you please add the dialer app as well?

right now i have from dialer: dialertabactivity.odex (i think there should be a dialer.apk here as well)
and from phone: Phone.apk, Phone.odex, Phone_Util.apk, Phone_Util.odex, PhoneErrService.apk, PhoneErrService.odex, PhoneSetupWizard.apk, PhoneSetupWizard.odex

Yep, it's the one with the green square, no Dialer.apk on my phone, just DialerTabActivity (apk&odex)Ok I've added a few into this rar, most you probably have, but I found 2 contact ones you didn't mention, so maybe they will help, these are all I have on my laptop that are related to the phone I think, see if they help.
you got a DialerTabActivity apk?
i copied all and overwrite them but still cant install the apps back. i would of wanted to keep my apps and stuff ... is there any other way to reinstall the default apps that i stupidly uninstalled? (Contacts, Dialer, Phone) dont know if it helps .. but i used the "Uninstaller for Root" app

Ok here's everything I could find on my phone, let me know if any of them help ok
the fact that i copy them in apps doesn't make them appear in the menu (i think that i still have to install them) and i always get the application not installed error when i try to run the apk to install.

Ok, I could be wrong here, but I'm fairly sure I read somewhere on here that you need to MOVE system apps, not COPY them, so go to system/app/ again and delete the ones you copied, then Move them from root of your sd to system/apps again. Then maybe try a reboot. I'm not sure this will solve it, but it's probably worth a try...
well ... no wireless here ... no wap on my sim ... cant get astro at the moment seems that everything i thought i was doing was bogus .. the file manager was saying that it was pasting/ copying/ deleting but it wasn't ... I'll replay tomorrow after downloading astro and after i actually do everything suggested
Thank You Very Much For The Help and hope you didn't lose all your patience .. i will be back tomorrow

Sorry, I assumed you were using Astro, or Root Explorer.
Astro is free on the market so it should be ok for me to post it here (if not, someone tell me ok?).
Gimme a few minutes to upload it...
ok .. i'll wait as much as it takes .. just to get this bastard working
Hey, happy to help, if I'm actually helping lol. That's what the sites for
Ok I've attached Astro, but I'd recommend buying Root Explorer, it's what I use. Also I've included a pic of the permissions needed by each of the files I put in the rar. I don't know about Astro, but in Root Explorer you just long press the app to get to permissions menu. You may not even need them, I'm not sure. Will check back tommorrow to see if you're making any progress.
ok thanks once again .. and good night
well astro cant edit permissions .. or at least not the free version .. or maybe they changed it in newer versions (in case there are any)

Damn, that's a pity, that was the latest version from the market, think you should buy Root Explorer if you can.
Permissions aside, did you successfully move the files with Astro?
If you did, dont try to install them, try a reboot first, I think that's what I did when I put the email.apk from SGSII into my SGS.
Sorry I didn't solve your problem tonight, will try again tommorrow if you want
i couldnt even move them cause the app dir is read only ... same for the files ... so unless i can get an app that can edit permissions i cant try moving/rebooting .
hi everybody.. first i would like to thank u all for this amazing website..
my problems r in my CM9..
1- the network is really poor . when i get inside a building it became V weak and sometimes goes out.. other ppl with the same network but not the same cellphones dont have this problem!!
2- also the wifi is very weak??? "i think this issue most of us have it" i'm here asking for a solution..
3- when i open the music player the cellphon gaves this msg twice "unfortunately, music has stopped.
4- the funny thing is when the cellphone in a sleep mood the screen suddenly turns on by it self many times !
how can i deal with such problems? shall i go with another ROM? or my rom just fine and u guys have the cure ^__^?
the last issue that i can not enter my SD card from any file explorer program i just can c imgs and videos in gallery and music in real player.. means i can not explore my SD card?????
thank u V much ^_^
GUYS no one can help
Sounds like you need to do a complete wipe. If that doesn't work do wipe and reflash CM9 again. Make sure you follow the instructions. the SD card is now called "EMMC" you may need a root enabled browser. Root explorer is one for example. emmc is located in the mnt folder, so if you start at sdcard, it's one folder back and you are in mnt.

just check your media files in gallery, apollo may not show the music
another thing, copy sd card to pc, and format it, then copy back to sd, might help, but can't guarantee anything

Do what dheeraj said, go to manage apps > all > apollo and tap force stop, then clear data, reboot. If it doesn't help, wipe only cache and dalvik and reboot.

how i can fix it
at first after flashing the rom mine music was also not showing in appolo but after sometime all of my music was there
Hello to whoever reads this thread, I hope you can help me.
I'm looking for help since I've been stuck with this issue for a week now and don't know what to do about it.
It all started a few days after finally getting a 16GB SDCard for my Note.
This sounds weird but I can't install all apps. I can install Facebook, Bacon Reader without problem, but apps like XDA or games won't install at all. The play store will just keep saying "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card"
I tried so many things that I don't have a clue if what I'm doing is actually useful.
Here is a few things I did to get rid of that problem :
- Wiping cache/dalvik, rebooting...many times.
- Flashing PA 4.0 Alpha again and again
- Looking for the "smdl2tmp1.asec" file in .android_secure and remove it (There's no file at all in that folder for me and I have no idea how people manage to see it since I can't really explore the root folder from Windows Explorer)
So, at this point I'm just tired of trying quick fixes and I motivate myself to do the following:
- Trying to go back to PA 3.99 RC2, but CWM is just going mad at me saying the zip file is not made for my device (status 7 error...)
- Updating CWM and trying to flash PA 3.99 RC2 after the first install failed. Fail again.
- Edit the update-script file from Windows to delete the specific "device" lines as stated on this thread. Fail again ? Fail again.
Some background info as I just thought about something that might be causing the issue.
See, Play Music for an incredibly stupid reason doesn't allow you to save music to an external sd card so I've been googling a lot and came upon that blog post giving a few tips on how to solve that issue. Maybe I f'ed up something in the process since I find that manoeuver a bit confusing.
More background info : I've been using PA since 3.69 and never have had any issue with it until that Alpha version but since nobody is reporting errors in the PA support thread it must be a problem on my side.
Oh, and while I'm at it, the loading battery animation when the phone is turned off looks really odd, like it's android from a decade ago and not the fancy one i put as the thread icon.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for I really don't know what to do anymore. :crying:
Also sorry for bad english.
FINAL EDIT : Oops. Found the answer by myself, thanks anyway
This bug is supposed to be fixed in the current/next nightly of omnirom.
Thanks for the answer.
So...there's no way to just fix the "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" bug ? I don't really want to be forced to change for Omni...
So after rooting my phone, my gallery has been crashing every time I try to open it.
I rooted with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709701
I tried clearing the data and clearing the cache and it didn't work.
I tried going in from my computer and copying out the data and deleting it so that I can restart with a new DCIM folder, but it's written protected... =/
Ideas anyone?
How do you mean password protected? Never seen that on an Android folder. Shouldnt you just remove this lock to help your app?

Sorry didn't mean to say password protected. I misspoke and meant to say written protection. I can't delete the files or edit it, but I can copy it.
Ok So it's slightly different from flashing a phone like my galaxy S2 I9100.
On my phone I should flash a ROM and a .zip package of gapps (google apps) among which is the gallery app.
Since you don't have to flash such a package I wonder whether you came from a KK ROM.
You said you rooted it like this. So I assume you came from stock KK ROM which comes with your AT&T Note 3, which should be no fine. But you can check that though.
Further ideas;
it could be a corrupt file somewhere on your device. You're gallery app will try to show it or make a thumbnail out of something which will result in a crash. For this you can try other gallery apps (I liked quickpic) and see if they crash.
Maybe you can unprotect the folder/files simply by:

On this thread it appeared to be an old SD card so that could be the problem as well.

Lol sorry for the misunderstanding. Just to clarify, yes I flashed it with the KK ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709701
and rooted with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
Yeah I've tried to unprotect it, but the options were grayed out. It won't let me click on them or unclick them.
When I access my DCIM folder it looks like this. The folder would contain my pictures and a bunch of other files that I don't recognize. I'm not sure whether it was from the ROM or the root.....
and with Quickpic it worked... ish~ I was able to open the app with a long loading time...and it also contains the other files that I don't recognize as well....
ugh i ended up just reformatting my SD card, i just wanted to get rid of the problem.
oh well. thanks for the help really appreciate it.
