I am currently on latest stock rom WW 17.0240.2009.49. I recently uninstalled some apps which are pre-installed from stock rom, such as Netflix... etc. However I didn't take any backup. In this case, how can I get those apps back? I know Netflix can be downloaded from play store, but some other apps are not available from there such as font apps as I remember.
I try to downloaded latest full WW firmware 2.28GB and placed in internal storage, rename it to UL-ASUS_I001_1-ASUS-17.0240.2009.50-1.1.225-user.zip (49 to 50). After reboot, system can detect new firmware and run the update. After second reboot, it report update failure.
In this case, is there any other way to get back pre-installed apps? Or do I need to wait for new official firmware later from Asus? I don't want to flash RAW firmware because I don't want to lost all data. Thanks!

Hi,
I am running the leaked 606 froyo stock ROM but I wanted the stock google email app so I wrongly decided to flash the google apps package from http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/ . However now I can't open any of the google apps and the email app is missing anyway. Could you please tell me which package either from that webpage or any other I could use to make it work again? Possibly as a flashable zip as my command knowledge is dismal. Thanks
I believe that the google apps package you installed is compiled/optimized for gingerbread so that might be why you don't get it to work. Try reflashing the rom over and all should be reset, if not you might need a data wipe before. Then you should be able to find the stock Gmail app in the market and you can uninstall/freeze the LG one.
I've decided to get my phone ready to accept the (hopefully soon) OTA update for my 2013 X. Right now it's on 4.4.4, bootloader unlocked (thanks Sunshine!), and rooted. I had it rooted to take advantage of Xposed and Secure Settings with Tasker integration. I also used TitaniumBackup to freeze the Verizon and some Moto apps I never used.
Currently, I have uninstalled every Xposed module I downloaded, then unistalled Xposed itself and finally the Xposed installer app. After that I went into Titanium and defrosted everything that was frozen. Now I have a fair amount of updates coming in from the Play store for all those apps that were frozen. Should I go ahead and update them?
From what I've read, there's been talk on whether or not I have to un-root my phone. I thought I just had to use the toolkit to flash back the stock recovery? That should be the only thing left to do? What about some apps that are device administrators like Cerberus? Do I need to remove them from that list?
Thank you for any advice. I plan on flashing stock recovery when I get home this evening.
Generally speaking an OTA will probably fail if apps it expects to be present are missing or modified in the /system partition. I don't know if having additional items (like Cerberus) will halt the OTA or not. Custom recovery may also interfere with the OTA.
It sounds like you already did all the work, but I personally wouldn't have done any of that until the OTA was actually rolling out. I know they said it will be soon, but it could still be weeks away. I wouldn't give up my phone that was setup how I like it, but that's just my preference.
When the OTA drops, if you try and install it will do all of the validation before it installs anything. If the validation fails, it will tell you it has an error and it won't work. Then you'll have to fix whatever was modified, or reflash the stock firmware to be compatible with the OTA.
I don't believe updating the apps is necessary. I don't even think they need to be active (you can use the Disable function in the App Info screen to hide them), they just need to be present in your /system folder with the correct signature, is how I understand it.
Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the latest playstore update?
I've done all the usual suggestions, even tried reverting back to older version and still problems after update... I restored system backup and playstore still didn't work until i formatted internal sd card, then it worked until it updated and again same problem.
Maybe you debloated your ROM al little much and need te reinstall g-apps?
haha, yeah that could be, I did restore some GApps without success (restoring GApps was successful however play store update was not), so for now I've managed to restore a backup and turn updates off.
okay firstly i am running the beta version emui 5.0, i flashed twrp and then flashed the update, but before doing this i wanted to try out something first, i wanted to flash twrp, flash gapps (google apps) then root the phone and remove all the Chinese apps, but because emui 5.0 doesnt have twrp as yet, i havent been able to do this, i am still stuck on android 7.0.
my mission was to delete all the apps that contain Chinese things, then be left with a clean clean phone with only English, i wanted to delete the apps, then ask anyone from xda to provide us with their apps instead, replace them with the international version of the p9 plus, then we see if they will still have chinese language
music app
dialer
hi-care
video app etc
anyone here know if we can really do this, then backup our rom, and upload it to those that want the phone to have google apps, and chineseless apps?
Okay so i did a clean install of the stock rom (Pie) with May update. Flashed all the files and was finally at the home screen. Got a notification for June security patch and i installed it immediately. Keep in mind till now no modifications were done to the phone including rooting, the rom is stock, clean and without any modifications. The only thing unlocked is my bootloader.
I observed when the update reaches around 80% it says update unsuccessful. No changes were made to the system. I tried downloading the update again, rebooting, formating/wiping data both via stock recovery as well as TWRP, factory reset. Even tried updating without SD-card just in case. Again flashed the full stock rom but to no avail, the update was not successful.
Any ideas why i can't apply june update and how am i supposed to solve this? Thanks

I have no ported apps. As i said, its stock rom with no modifications. I didn't install any app from anywhere. The only apps i have in my phone are pre-installed apps which come with the stock rom such as Google Drive, Play Books.. I even tried clearing the data of the pre-installed apps but still no update. Also today i tried flashing the retail version of the stock rom with may security update. I think there is an issue as i flashed the retail version of the rom, the about section from the settings app still shows software channel as "Retin". Shouldn't it be showing retail version

You have to flash the first pie update (November patch) and then you can do updates.
