[TIP] To avoid having to reboot phone

In case you didn't know.
Steps to avoid having to reboot when you want to replace an app:
1.- Delete the app you want to replace in system/app
2.- Go where you placed your app on sdcard
3.- Move/copy it to system folder
4.- Set permissions rw-r--r--
5.- Move it to system/app
DONE. You don't have to reboot phone

Eh. I always have to reboot even when I use this steps.

Some system apps can, some cannot. Depends.

You also need root which you neglected to mention.

Yes of course bro. I forgot it. Thank you

SystemUI doesn't need reboot. It only needs to be killed.

if you kill SystemUI the phone will be messed and you can't see and can't do anything

No way. You can't kill it permanently.

I dont understand why you would not want to reboot anyway.
Surely your not not that impatient to wait 30 seconds?
And what benefits are there?
Seems a redundant topic to me, and a topic that belongs in the general section as this has nothing to do with themes or apps.

How to re-sense my phone?

I used Titanium Backup to delete HTC Sense from my phone, because I read in multiple places that it just slows the phone down if you have a costum launcher installed. Problem is: I remember thinking about doing it, but I am not even really sure I did it. I only know that when pressing home, it doesn't give me the choice to enter in it. How to tell if I removed it? And if I did, is it possible to restore it somehow e.g. factory reset, without a backup?

The way you can check if it's deleted is either go to titanium backup and search for the app, or go into the apps menu and search for the app again.
You can get it back by either Reflashing the rom or having a backup. Or go to the rom root dir system/apps and search for it there.
I've been using CM10 so I don't remember the exact app name, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out :3

I'm pretty sure it's rosie.apk

Will it give me problems if I later decide to flash a sense-based rom?

No

In case you want it back, just extract it from any of the sense based roms around here. Or if you don't wanna download a whole rom, tell me. I'll upload the rosie for you

[MOD] .569/.101 Nav Bar 5 buttons

** I just made a Xposed module for the same purpose. I'll add more options to the module in the future so this mod will not be needed. Check out the module here. **
I've just made the 5 buttons navbar mod using the latest 4.3 firmware. Just flash it in recovery.
If you want to rollback to stock 3 buttons version, flash the 5buttons-569-restore.zip or 5buttons-101-restore.zip.
* Please pick the right file for your firmware version *

Thanks for mod..
But i don't know which cwm is working for stock 4.3???

Let me check it later tonight. If you want to do it manually, just delete SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex under /system/app/ in recovery and extract SystemUI.apk in the zip file and copy it to /system/app/.

Can you download the zip file and try again? I may have accidentally converted the script file into DOS format.

Perfect. Thanks.
Would be grateful if you could make it with menu in the right-most. Thanks again.

You can follow this guide http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30278-how-to-step-by-step-guide-to-add-menu-and-search-soft-keys/.
If you only want to re-order the buttons, then the easily way is the start with my modded SystemUI.apk and then change the res/layout/navigation_bar.xml.

You need first to decompile the APK using tool like apktool or Android MultiTool. After editing the xml, then you need to use the tool to compile the APK again.

Did you try to replace your dialer with some other ported one etc? Or flashed some theme?
If in emergency you can install an app like contact plus or any other dialer app from app store.

That's not the point PCC will restore your dialer but you will lose root in the process so you will need to reroot the device

1.If you are on 4.1.2, go to settings>apps>all apps and see for contacts in the list maybe it is disabled
If you are on 4.3, go to settings>apps>disabled and see there
2. Try clearing data of XperiaHome
3. If you are using xposed modules, maybe you have hidden that app from home
4. Check your system/app directory and see if the apk is present there
Hope it helps
