I wasn't thinking straight, and for some reason I tried installing the My Files app from the Galaxy S5 because I find it more better than the one in the Galaxy S6. In order to do this, I backed up the stock Galaxy S6 My Files app (/system/priv-app/SecMyFiles2015/), including the odex files. After that, I deleted those files then put the My Files app from the Galaxy S5 there. Then I rebooted my phone, and expected it to work for some reason. Obviously after I rebooted it, it didn't work. Since it was late at night, I left it at that. The next day after I realized why it wouldn't work, I began to attempt to restore the Galaxy S6 My Files app. I've tried several different methods, and none have worked yet. I researched this issue too, and all of the solutions which have worked for others in the past don't seem to be working for me.
Methods I've attempted so far, which haven't worked:
Copy the My Files app + odex files into "/system/priv-app/SecMyFiles2015/", set correct permissions, and reboot
Copy the My Files app into "/system/priv-app/SecMyFiles2015/", set correct permissions, and reboot
Copy the My Files app into "/system/app", set correct permissions, and reboot
Restore through Titanium Backup, as I backed this app up through this app before getting rid of it (TB just hangs when I initiate the restore process)
Installing the app through android's package installer
I attempted many other methods too, however I can't remember them right now. If I remember them, I'll add it to the list.
If someone could help me out with this issue, that would be great! Thanks in advance guys!
Bump! I would appreciate it if someone could help me out! I also obtained a screenshot of an error from logcat, which occurs when I start the app up.

seems to be some sort of sammy protecting system integrity!
since 5.0 for example the restore of system apps with titanium seems to be impossible, it won't work...

So I tried the Razr version and it booted and then I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499411 and decided to give it a try. Well, it turns out just about everything I noticed was bugged is still bugged, most notably data. I also noticed the external SD does not mount. Keyboard mapping and LED seem to work with the files I copied over like the thread states.
Again, this is just test showing some things to be working. I copied files from the Razr CDMA MIUIv4_2.3.23 over to DROID4-CM9-03-24-SELFKANG with some of the changes from the above thread and this is what I got. I tried the tweaks to framework-res.apk mentioned later in the thread and failed. If I had any clue how to port over the other features that work from CM9 I would.
Just posting this to generate interest and to demonstrate that with a few tweaks we should have a working MIUI. Hopefully somebody knows how to get it up to par with CM9.
http://www.mediafire.com/?9f6ubbl888nc6w9
did you swap these files from miui4 to you7r working cm9
system/app
system/framework
libandroid_runtime.so
media folder
telocation.db
yellowpage.db
voldfstab
i did this for the motorola photon and mostly everything worked but mms
I tried copying over all of those except vold.fstab, tried that today. I Also tried copying over the VZW proprietary apps and modifying framework-res.apk again. I have no idea what exactly needs to be tweaked to get data to work, but I'm done trying unless I run into an explanation somewhere.
It works well!

Is this port still unfinished? Is anybody working to get it finished now that we have SBF files? I would pay a pretty penny to see a complete MIUI for the Droid 4...

Hi,
I'm trying to restore a backup of my apps, along with their data, to my new htc one but have hit a problem. The one is not rooted so titanium is not an option and mybackup seems to be unable to restore my apps data.
I've only just got the one and am a bit reticent to root at this early stage in case it bricks.
Are there any solutions to migrate my app data (from a desire on cm7 btw, so helium not an option either).
Can't believe such a simple thing is proving so difficult!

As far as I know root access is required for what you are trying to do. It will be fairly impossible to brick a HTC through rooting it as you have s-on (basically you can't write to any partitions that could brick a phone with s-on). Maybe someone else knows more and there is some app that can do this :fingers-crossed:
Try HTC own transfer app
Settings
Then under personal settings
Select transfer content
This has a range of transfer options specifically intended to copy apps, and other data including photos from your old phone to your HTC one
If your old phone isn't an HTC then you may need HTC transfer app from android play store on your old phone first

I updated my settings apk to a 5.5 version from the 5.0 version that is in the stock 4.3 rom, and now I can't access my settings at all.
I know, stupid move not backing up before I did it.
Is there anyone that can please point me to where I can download just the settings apk for the stock 4.3 rom?

Downloading a stock 4.3 ROM (from here) and opening it up and looking for it in /system/app or /system/priv-app (in the ROM) might help. After you find it, just use Root Explorer to move it to your own directory where Settings.apk lies in.
Edit: For InsertCoin, it's here:

I'd give you it, but it's Sense 6.0.
OK Giving that a try. Also, while waiting for it to download, I'm dissecting my latest nandroid backup and trying to get it from there.
I think I need an odex file for it too. Seems like everything else has one.
Got the files from my backup and copied them to where they needed to be, but it didn't work. Unsure why.

Do they have the same permissions as the other files in the same folder?
I just decided to restore the backup. Everything else I did just froze the phone on the loading screen.
Thanks for the help though. ^^
Dear XDA,
I've freshly installed Maximus HD 45. And it's working, no problems there.
But when I look at my storage I see something strange. I have 12.10gb used by 'Other'.

}
I've found some strange paths on my phone (taken from WiFi File Transfer Pro):
../storage/emulated/0/
../storage/emulated/legacy/
../storage/sdcard0/
They all seem to redirect to my internal storage.
Probally some leftover bugs from previous custom roms?
Is it possible to completely clean my storage without removing TWRP and Maximus HD? Or in worst case scenario I don't mind reinstalling a clean Maximus HD. But I prefer not to do to much modding on the phone, like installing a different RUU. Currently I live in Zanzibar and I have limited options (and internet!) when something goes awohl.
If it's a whole lot of effort I keep it like this. It's annoying but I can live with it. But if it's an easy fix then I would gladly do that!
Thanks in advanced!

that's normal. to see what's using up your space I recommend you use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile_infographics_tools.mydrive
I'm not a huge expert on the technical side of Android devices but in my experience, those are the three common file paths to access internal storage. I do not know the exact reason as to why there must be three file paths. But it is normal. Nothing to worry about.

There is no root method for the GS5 on Lollipop.
so does that mean we can't go to an earlier version and root that?

Unfortunately, no. This phone was only rootable on KitKat.

Thanks, and that's ok but not the best of corse, what I have been able to do because the most important thing for me was/is a GPS app I use and it/was a root only app for storage to the sdext for offline maps. I get a popup now that directs me to another window that has a "hint" to select "0000-xxxx" on the next page, then I can select the sdext for storage and the app uses it (very happy) and it seems to happen for other file transfer tasks. I do not know if the app made this possible or if its just native as this was the first app I installed but it's there in any event. so now when my game files get to big for some other task I wish to do I just move the app data file to the sdext and do whatever and move it back when done. Again not the best but livable as I really like the 5.1.1/OJ3 ROM that's on my G870A, good battery live with quick operation after installing the Pro version of Samsung Package Disabler . I really like this phone! And let's hope this new exploit they found for the Verizon phones turns into something!
I also contacted at&t and stressed how important rooting can be (as for me it's a safety issue as there's bad service in the rural area I'm in) and suggested they might even allow it for an extra fee/no or paid support for doing it. I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks again, now I going to put my KFHD back to 8.1.4 and see if I can get OTG to work as this 870 is all I need for gaming now that I got glasses, I'm an old fart (chronologically)
