App install problem - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was uninstalling stock system apps but I realized that I couldn't install any apps! I thought that I deleted a necessary app but I don't know which is. Could you provide it? Can I install it by flashing a cwm zip?

When you don't know what you're doing, things like that could happen. Flash the rom again, with all system apps, don't delete them before flash the rom.

I don't want to flash the Rom again! Which apps are involved in installing? I will restore only these

Man, flash the rom again. You don't lose anything, neither apps or data.

Blah blah I found the app and restored it no flash needed. thanks anyway..

Glad that you fix it. But be less arrogant.

It would be also nice if you would share that app with us

It's the DefaultContainerService. I accidentally deleted it.

There are plenty of lists out there that tell you what apps are safe to remove and which are not. A simple google search of "s3 mini safe apps to remove" and there are numerous website which have lists of what is safe and what is not, even if its not for your specific device, it can be useful as all android phones are very similar.

[Q] Backup/Recovery account issues

Running CM7RC
Decided to try one of the themes so I did a backup first using ROM Manager.
Didn't like the themes so I tried to restore.
It is coming up without my google account and there is no option to add it in the account settings.
I've wiped and reapplied the backup and also fixed permissions to no avail so far.
I'm finishing a 2nd fix permissions after wiping everything (even Davlik).
Has anyone ever had this happen to them? If so, what was the fix?
I'd rather get it restored than start over...
Restoring the account settings in Titanium doesn't help either.
I'm screwed, aren't I?
Do you have the Google apps installed (market, etc)?

Yes, happened to me many times when I flashed CM and forgot to flash gapps.
Download gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip from here: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/ and flash from recovery.
Did you use clockworkmod 3.0? It's been known to messed things up during nandroid restore.
Flash GAPPS like other have mentioned.
If not full wipe and start over, use AMon Ra or an older CWM version

Yeah, they were there when I restored the backup but they wouldn't open because there was no google account in the phone. Could flashing gapps fix this?

Yes, it is cwm 3.0
For now I've done a full wipe and started over and after a couple of days of tweaking I'll likely forget the incident. I might try restoring and flashing gapps but I have my doubts as to whether that would work.
I'm going to have to start being more vigilant about backing up apps/settings/data in other ways if a nandroid backup isn't dependable...
Thanks for the comments.
OK, I just flashed RC2 and the account issue popped back up so it isn't necessarily that backup I did before.
Get rid of cwm 3.x and try using a different recovery...

Stuck on Paranoid Android Bootscreen! (noob) HELP

Hey everyone...
ive already tried to get some quick help already but i really need my phone tonight LOL.
iam running cm9 rom with the latest cm9 stable kernal, now i wanted to flash the hydrocore kernal to see if battery would improve, but it seemed fine but then choppy afew hours later so i changed back to cm9 kernal. Anyway after it rebooted it stayed on the paranoid android bootscreen! where you see the picture loading. i then tried to wipe the cache and dalvik and its still stuck. someone mentioned to do a wipe but i was unsure if he meant to a full wipe? as ive not wiped the factory reset, just the two caches! ive also flashed both kernals back and forth and im still stuck.
Its a simple issue iam sure but could someone help me, im unsure if i should do a full wipe including factory reset or just flash the cm9 rom again. if so can i have instructions step by step...
thank you.
islandmixed, you are on a safe kernel so there is no harm in performing a wipe data/factory reset.
:good:

A full wipe worked, it rebooted. since iam weiry about restoring my apps again via mybackup pro i might just check all my apps installed from google and install them one by one and then that way i wont have to worry about anything going wrong. i do have a backup from TB and mybackup but someone said it can cause issues when restoring to a cm9 rom!
Thanks for the help. iam back again at the start HEHE.

Oh I got it now. But why would any stock apps install? If the new rom will have its own stock apps. I didn't even know TB backed up stock apps. That makes it confusing to me

You know when I wiped data would it have wiped off the gapps? I'm sure I had more rom apps with this....hmmmm
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
wipe data is totally wiping what's in your phone.. including what's inside the system/apps, build props and framework...
you may need to flash back your g.apps if you want to get all of them and selectively selecting which to install back(rather than just restoring it from TB)
TB does not restore all what you have made a backup to.

I restored apps with mybackup pro so I know it never backed up gapps so it deffo must have been wiped then? Now that I'm back on my rom can I just flash it in cwm? No wipes or anything. Cheers

Okay then I guess the factory reset only deleted user apps then. I was told it deletes system apps which is why I thought it deleted gapps.

Again, how did you delete/erase them? I cant really help much without that info. The only way I can think of for deleting ALL your apps is to do a factory reset, in which case they are gone. Because thats the point of a factory reset. Another way is to delete the directory that the apps are in. Which also pretty much means they are gone. The only way to get deleted apps back is to either download them all from the Play Store again, or restore a backup if you made one. If you didnt make a backup, your apps are most likely gone. Sorry.

Boy! Talk about 'lost in translation!' He's unable to understand your problem/question. Why not try saying it in your own language, maybe a soul can understand your problem, help you solve it, and even translate your problem for anyone else that might have it.

Sounds like he was using titanium backup (or something similar) and instead of backing up, he deleted.
If that's what happened, if you hadn't made a backup previously, no idea how to recover what you deleted.

fine then don't co-operate. good luck
Stock kernel imposes system partition write protection following boot, so you can't modify or delete any system apps without a modified kernel.

Can I use titanium backup to get rid if all this at&t bloat.

What the title says. I just want to get rid of all the at&t apps with titanium backup. Is this ok? I'm on ST and don't need or want any of them. Thanks

yes - suggest you "freeze" them rather than delete
Yes you can
Freezing them is giod than instead of deleting or removing it
tapped from DNA
Freezing is the best option. Its hard to bring it back to stock if you delete them.
Thanks everyone. Super fast responses!

What if you have already deleted a bunch and froze others? Can you Factory Reset and go into stock recovery and wipe?
Would this put everything I deleted back or am I SOL?

Factory Data Reset does not restore deleted system apps. Until an odin/oneclick is released for MJ5, your best hope is getting the apks from a phone that is on MJ5. I'd hook you up but I'm happily rooted on MI9.
