hey people newbe here i am trying to update laucherpro but it wont let me, some people have responded but i am still confused.... i tried root explorer but i dont see it in there and when i try to uninstall it from the applications the uninstall button is dark any solutions?? also i get forceclosed with launcherpro when i first start up my phone i was hoping to update to take care of that problem thanks for helping
Are you running a theme that has LauncherPro included in it? If so, you'll need to delete it from /system/app and then restart before being able to update. Make sure you have another launcher installed before deleting it though.

i deleted my mms.apk and odex trying to use chompSMS instead of the vibrant stock mms. now i can't receive any text messages. Can anyone please show me where i can get the mms apk and odex files
I tried restoring my backed up MMS.APK in the sd/am folder but it doesn't install. its says "application not installed" could they be corrupt?
Any help will be appreciated. thank you.
Why would you delete the MMS.apk instead of just making ChompSMS the default messaging app and hiding the messaging icon?
Do you use Titanium Backup? If not you should start. Let me see if I can find the MMS.apk around. You probably can find it too if you searched around.
Otherwise I would just ODIN back to JFD. You know what ODIN is right?
Edit: Actually, search is disabled right now.. So I'll try later. Seriously, why did you delete MMS.apk LOL.

if u are rooted, u have to use something like root explorer to push it to system/app
or if u have adb set up properly, adb push it to system/app

ok i managed to get it to system/app but then when i try to install it i still get the message " application not installed" any idea what may be causing this.
Also, can you please tell me how i can go about re flashing my R.O.M if you know how to.
Thanks for your help.

You can follow this guide:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...r-vibrant-and-return-to-stock-phone-pc-error/
It is very thorough. It seems like a lot but it is actually quite simple. Just read it and soak it all in. I use ODIN a lot and once you are use to it, it is as simple as a couple mouse clicks.
After much messing about and almost bricking my phone I've finally got it on a version of 2.2 which will run the standard upgrade but I have a problem. This version (compared to the older official UK o2 I had) has copilot pre installed on it which when I checked the permissions is down for full access to making calls, texts, viewing contacts, etc.. Basically all the stuff you wouldn't allow an app to do normally and as I have no need for it I went to the apps on settings to delete it but when I select it the option to uninstall isn't highlighted, does anyone know how to get rid of this??
you need to use root manager or system manager delete the apk from system/app
hope that helps.
Cheers, gonna try and get it rooted then. Already tried z4root but it didn't work so having a go with superoneclick!
Also do you know of a way to stop the update available message coming on??
root with superuser via streakmod or clockworkmod....not sure about the update message. I am on 351.
Done, was a bit unsure bout if I was doing it all right but it's all looking good so far thanks!!
Will look into the update to 2.2.2 and see what can be done with that once I've had a play with the root!!
I have CM7 installed and have been running the ICS Theme for ADW by Kodev, and it recently had an update, i ran the update and right after ADW keeps force closing, and i cant get the phone to do, well anything.. I restored via an old Nandroid of an empty CM7 and installed it again and it crashed again. Is there anyway to fix this?? Or a way i can get ahold of an older version that will work. I made a nandroid backup before restoring and im hoping i can somehow restore back to that and fix it with someones help becasue i have settings and stuff that i haven't backed up. If anyone can help me thatd be great, or know of an ICS themes for ADW becasue i absolutely loved that one.
I was able to get it fixed, the dev pushed an update and only way i was able to receive it (get into market) was to push another launcher(i used golauncher) and install it via adb so that you would be able to get to home screen without force closes. Im sure most of you know the command but if not here it is, "adb install <path_to_apk>"
awesome thanks......
I'm using Axura - Moped/FishmanMod v1 now. Really like it, has made my Vibrant usable again. However, I miss GTalk. I've searched google and these forums but I'm not able to find the .apk for a froyo ROM specific to my Vibrant and the one I attempted to install failed. Can anyone direct me toward the correct .apk for Google Talk?
Also, do I need to force it as a system app with Root Explorer?
Thank you.
When you way it failed, what did it do/say? Just not work/open or did it say something like Parse Error?
Yes, you need to install it in /system/app and set the permissions as well. The reboot. Try again with the apk that you have and let me know if it works. If not then I can upload one for you tonight that should work on Froyo.
Thank you for the reply. When I try to install the .apk I have, it goes through the normal screen, telling me what the app has access to. I click install and it comes back with "Application not installed."
I will see if I can find some instructions to do it with Root Explorer and see if that works.
Root Explorer method is easy.
Just copy the apk from where you have it and go into /system/app and paste it there. After it is pasted, go back to it and long-press it until you see permissions come up. Your permissions should be the first column all checked and then the top 1 of the next 2 columns checked. (The bottom 2 on columns 2&3 are left unchecked). Then exit out of RE and reboot.
Since it is a /system/app it can't be installed through the Package Installer like a normal app. It just isn't coded like that.
Thanks! That did it! I really appreciate the help. And especially thanks for not making me feel dumb. The Hubs (sorry, can't remember his nick here on XDA) has had a crummy day at work and I'm glad I don't have to ask him to help me figure this out. :laugh:
No worries, I've helped you before I think. I recognized your username (pretty distinctive). I am usually hanging out in Gen and Q&A most of the day to help out (I have a job that I can do that in). You can GTalk him now and tell him, I hope his day gets better.
Can you edit the topic and put a Solved in it? Go to your OP and click edit, then Go Advanced and there you can put it in the title.
The thread title has been edited. Thank you. Yes, you did help me before with some issues with my Vibrant. The poor thing was on its last leg but we tried this ROM and it's been good so far. After adding back apps one at a time I believe Zedge was the culprit as I started having issues immediately upon reinstalling it.
I've already let him know via GTalk that it's working again. He said he remembered you from when he had his Vibrant. Thanks again!
i posted this over @ driodrzr.com i am hoping the more eyes see it someone can help me out,
I had this running fine on ICS. Upgraded to JB then while i was re installing all of the RAZR M Things i installed the Text Messaging App with out backing up the old one first. Now the App is missing in the dock. I used root explorer to go to system app and it is not there.I tried to install the app as a normal program but that did not work.I copied it over with RE and set permissions then installed but not go there also. i have not tried use adb not sure how to use that. I have been reading into it. I am lost i have tried everything i know how to do. Please help me out i am loosing my hair trying to figure out this issue. Thanks in advance. anyone have any questions about this jsut ask and i will give me more info.
Anyone with any ideas be JB on RAZR here.
I did the same thing messing with the Razr M stuff - should have never went after that carrot. Anyway, the only way I could fix it was to flash back to ICS (which does not boot), but you can get into recovery to do a factory reset, and then reapply the JB update. The only problem....you WILL lose root! But at least your phone will be 100% functional.
Thanks for telling me i will try that when a root comes out for JB. I have root now and i am using a 3rd party text app for now. Not ideal but it works
