I tried to install the CM10.1 MMS.apk like I usually do on all of the phones that I root since I prefer the stock android messaging look. I have done this on Samsung phones before with no problem whatsoever. The way I go about this is renaming the samsung mms apk (secmms or something) in system/app to have secmms.apk.bak, and then moving the cm10.1 mms.apk to system app, fixing the permissions and rebooting.
When I reboot my phone is where I get the problem. On boot I get a notification saying that an app has been closed due to unauthrized attempt to access system. I am assuming this is a knox security thing going on preventing the cm10 mms.apk from opening, even though it appears in my app drawer.
my questions are:
-what can I do to allow the cm10.1 mms.apk to run? Do I need to freeze knox? Are there negative effects of doing so?
-am I trying to install an incompatible apk since the note 3 runs 4.3?
-at the very least I'd like the stock messaging app back working again. However, the one hiccup here is that I deleted the odex file for the stock messaging app... I know I should have just renamed it, but I was confident in my method. If the answers to my first two bullet points are negative for getting the cm10.1 mms.apk to work, can someone post the stock samsung odex file so I can get stock messaging back up and running?
THANKS GUYS! I appreicate it.
EDIT: Went ahead and froze the knox software (as per the thread regarding the freezing of knox/tripping the counter thread) and the cm10.1 mms.apk works like a charm. However please comment if freezing this software is ill-advised. Thanks again.

im newish and cant post in the development forum yet so im bringing my problems over here unless a mod wants to move it for me, anyways, i originally flashed a leaked update and was wanting to get back on the update path so i tried p3s 1 click method and it worked like a charm, at first anyway. when the phone rebooted i seem to have lost root to some apps, superuser was not present so i downloaded it from the market but it wont run and says i dont have root, yet some apps that require root still work (wifi tether, TB), whats going on? and the other thing that was bugging me is for some reason everything installed and works but i have no camera app and no camcorder app... i decided to download the razr camera app and give that a try but i dont have a camcorder app, can someone pull it and upload it for me? thanks in advance, and a warning to those who are getting back to the ota path, dont take the 5.9.901, it was so much worse when it came to data drop issues, for me at least.
And the razr apk I downloaded wont install, is there a special way to install a camera apk?

It's obvious we're all having major problems with the latest update un-rooting our kindle and I can't find any threads that are saying how to just re-root and bypass this update and all the problems we're having.
Is there a general list of everyone having the same problems with this update? like flashing screen, launchers not working and their files not being found, can't move or delete files into/out of /system/app, not being able to root and get it working smoothly like we could before this update?
I've re-rooted and installed a few launchers, but nothing is working right. My notification bar keeps flashing on and off, I kept getting a flashing screen but it finally stopped somehow, everything is slow, even my keyboard, I'm having problems with apps even showing up anywhere in ES file explorer, much less being able to move them.
I bought Next Launcher but it's nowhere to be found and the devs aren't responding to anyone about it.
can someone PLEASE HELP?
Would it be easier to completely wipe this thing and start all over? if so, what's the easiest method that actually works smoothly after this dumb update? I've got root but everything is still completely jacked up.

A question for any intellectual Android/Nook-addicts out there...
Basically, I've rooted my Nook HD+ (Numberous times now) and have experience rooting android devices in the past and have had no problems. I used the CWM method - installed universal root on factory stock (And afterwards, 2.1.0 stock just to see if it fixed the problem... it didn't) and extras (Tried not installing extras twice also, didn't make a difference)
Basically, I've learnt the hard way that eight resets on boot and the device hard-resets to factory stock. The first Root Bootup is fine (The bootup after removing the CWM sdc) and, after turning it off and on again, so is the second bootup... But the third one is where the problem occurs. I power on as normal, and the standard 'Nook' screen appears as it begins to boot...
It then proceeds to resetting itself eight times - never getting past the 'Nook' screen that appears at the start of every bootup, therefore causing a hard factory reset.
I've tried using the CWM recover method to the OS I used before rooting the nook originally, and there doesn't seem to be any problems if the device isn't rooted. I've also just let it update itself from factory version to current version - and it works fine with that also.
Perhaps this is common and I'm just a plain idiot. I honestly can't find any answers - so if it is common, sorry for wasting your time!
Thanks for your time!

Do you have some apps being automatically installed by Play Store? Sometime people have their settings set so that happens. Then a root app gets installed and makes some changes to /system and causes a reset. Go to Play Store and tell it not to automatically install or upgrade apps.`

No apps that automatically download that i can see. But you're likely onto something - I do install all the apps manually (No matter how menial) (Going through the list, hitting install for each of them) before manually logging into each one afterwards. I do use a few root apps - no ad-versions to avoid those annoying popups, Ultrabox, Superuser, Pimp my Android and Root Browser to name most, if not all of them.
I'm going to have to do things the awkward way now, installing each app, setting them to the setting I want for them, and seeing what happens. I have a mild suspicion it's a setting on Pimp my Android...
I'll let you know if I sort it. Thanks for the suggestion :cyclops:

Why are you installing superuser? It is already installed with the universal root. That may be it too.
Edit: And some of the apps I put on there are old on purpose. Like Root Browser. I have it set so that the free version is ad free. If you update it, the ad free goes away.

I am VERY sorry it's taken me so long to reply! Even though I've only just joined, I should have done it long before now.
I found the problem - it was 'Pimp my Android' app. I was experiencing something called 'boot loop' - so much for my research skills for such a common problem. I fiddled about with my usual settings - and found some that cause it to get stuck like that, even when they're set not to activate on startup!
Tis' all working now. Everything else seems to be just peachy! You were right, thanks for your help
Rooted (stock) VZW moto x
A couple days ago my phone app started force closing immediately upon opening it every time. It doesn't work at all now. I am rooted, but I rooted weeks ago and this just started yesterday or the day before. I haven't messed with anything. The only thing that I have done is download apps from the play store... None of which 'should' mess with the phone app.
I have since downloaded an alternative dialer app which works, but I'd rather use stock. I tried rebooting, tried clearing the app's cache and data (in system settings - apps) and no luck.
Any help would be great. Either finding/fixing the issue or a way to reinstall the stock phone app? I am rooted and I believe write protection is off, which I had to do to install busybox. Thanks!

What version are you on. 4.2.2 or 4.4
There is a couple things i would try i have had to do it with other phone specially my old S3
1. restore from a backup when i the dialer was not FC
2. try reinstalling the dialer from the APK located here device/system/prvi-app/dialer.apk
3. pull the dialer.apk out of the correct stock ROM or recover img and replace the one located in the above folder and install it.
but to be honest option one is normally the best way to go and the fastest.
Thanks. I'm on 4.4. I'm going to try option 2 when i get home. I'm not exactly sure how to restore a backup on this phone yet being that i dont really have a recovery.
Edit: option 2 installed ok, but still force closes
let me get you the .apk from the restore img give me about a hour to download it and get you a link
also do you know how to use titanium backup if so i would install it and back up all user apps and data because you might have to do a factory reset. but if you backup with TB you and restore everything right back to ware you was
I dislike the default launcher that comes with the G Flex, so I installed Nova Launcher. Upon trying to open my gallery app, I get the error message that I quoted for the title of this thread. The gallery app works fine with the LG launcher. My question is this: is there any way to fix the gallery app? I've tried clearing the app's data and cache, to no avail.
If there is no way to fix it, would it be possible to pull an AOSP gallery app from a G2 or Nexus 5 ROM and install it?
EDIT: It seems that none of the LG apps work with Nova Launcher.
something is goofy with your phone; I have been using Nova for 6 months on this phone without issue
I'm using Kit Kat and I'm rooted, but it was doing that before I rooted. I reverted to stock JB (which did not have the same problem), rooted it then, and couldn't reproduce the problem. I reverted to stock again, ran the KK update, installed Nova, and had the same problem. I rooted the phone again, after confirming that the problem still exists.
I've got a few ROMs on my computer, like CM 11 and the new Sprint update for the LS995. I'm wondering if I can just pull the apps I need out of one of those zip files.
I dont know about mixing/using files from other roms..I would probably factory reset first, and see if that helps..if you are rooted, you can grab the GFlex Cache wiper program and try wiping dalvik/cache and see if that helps too
I've already done a factory reset and cleared the cache via the recovery. I'll try the app you spoke of, though. Now I just need to find it...
EDIT: That didn't work. Would it be possible for anyone to pull at least the gallery apk off of their phone and upload it? I'll try to install it using ADB.
EDIT AGAIN: Screw it. I'm going to back up all my crap, revert to stock, redo the update, and root it again. I'll try to see if I can't pull the APKs myself and try reinstalling them. It probably won't work, but it's worth a shot.
ANOTHER EDIT: I figured out what the problem is. I have my DPI set to 220, which apparently breaks the LG apps. I want to keep my DPI setting where it is more than I want to use the broken LG apps, so I'm going to attempt to use the AOSP gallery and see what happens.
YET ANOTHER EDIT: Trying to install the 4.4.2 AOSP gallery apk didn't work. It wouldn't install at all. I found an app in the Play Store that mimics the 4.3 gallery, and it seems to cover my needs for now. Thanks for the advice. It really helped me narrow down the cause of my problem.
