Have the ROM Bionix V 1.3.1 installed and it's a great rom but one issue. I flashed it on 2 phones but contacts force closes on one phone #1 every time I tried to either access it directly or indirectly (like when you long press a number to save a contact). Phone # 2 works great.
So, I deleted contacts.apk on phone #1 and tried to copy the apk from phone # 2 to #1 but it won't let me install. Any tips? I am using An outside dialer just to call now but I have some time now to try to fix it. Any help would be appreciated, czr

Thanks but I wanted to see if there was any other suggestions before I go that route
Try exporting contacts to memory card and import to new phone!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
That didn't work. Maybe I'm installing contacts.apk wrong. I've been long pressing the second phones contacts.apk on my SD card then long pressing to install. It says installing then application not installed.
Can someone post the vibrant cobtacts.Apk and give me pointers on install so my phone will take it?

^Help anyone?
You can't install system apps just by pressing on them. You have to use root explorer to push app in /system/app directory.

Take the one from the ROM zip itself, or from the phone that it werks on whatever really. Good luck!
You need an app called Root Explorer as Alex mentioned. Then, mount it with root rights and RW privileges (its a checkbox at the top while using it) and copy the apk to the same place it is on the working phone. Then, restart your broken phone and it should be fixed.
If you have the force-closing again, something else is causing it, likely a setting conflicting somewhere. You may need to go ahead and reset some settings from Titanium Backup then.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Such a simple fix since I had a good working copy of the apk on the other phone. Got it to work!

Okay,, I uninstalled something called inputmethod.Latin-20(and a bunch of numbers or what not after) and it totally messed up my swype keyboard (continuously force closes). Can't for the life of me figure out how to restore it, can anyone please help? I know that titanium backup on sd has a zip of it and a properties (?) file of it, but can't find it in the list on the titanium app to restore it... Please help!!!

In your titanium folder, there is a long name apk file. You find the file that include your file name (removed). Rename it same as original and use root explorer copy back to /system/app.

Unfortunately I did download that package but it seems its not helping at all! Thanks though... I guess it may have been worth mentioning that my gmail app does the same thing... Like the keyboard, I can open it and see my mail, but once I try opening an email, force close (?!)... I also remember I removed system apps that were spelled in the com.inputmethod.Latin-20(and a bunch of characters), because they looked like leftovers of system apps I no longer needed, now my dilemma is so huge that I just NEED to restore that functionality to my phone! Any suggestions??

which one you've downloaded?? xRecovery .zip file or System app .zip file?
you should download 2nd one....there you can find all the stock applications...just push the required missing application by ADB cmd or you can use mRush mode tool. which is very easier......
Am I gonna need my pc?? I have ADB, but was hoping I can fix it now. Im ready to reflash if necessary, but in doing this, am I safe if everything is backed up from before the problem with titanium? And if I have to do that, would it not make more sense to go for a 2.2 aosp like freex10 beta4 (or is there something better out yet)? Thanks!
My apps like Market n Pandora n just the qualities in general keep changing. Market icon reverts to green n inside I lose transparent aspect. Maybe Pandora doesn't change now that I think... Anyway its annoying. Does anyone know why. Is it cuz it updates w/out me choosing to somehow or a bug. I tried searching this but maybe I shouldn't have limited to virusROM. Not sure if its native to vr or wut
Sent from my TB (virusROM-kernel undecided) using XDA App
Not sure about Pandora but my market was doing the same thing. I read up on it and was told to reflash the ROM but make sure you backup all data using nandroid. Then after you reflash rename marketupdater.apk to a .bak extension. This will prevent the market from automatically updating. Once u reflash and reboot you can revert back to your old settings and apps using the backup you saved. Hope this helps
Sent from Ced's Thunderbolt XDA app - Infected with the VirusROM
the apps get updated so they lose the custom look and feel. no biggie, wait for the next VirusROM release, Im sure all the latest apps will be customized again.
After this happened to me while on my Droid X, I started doing this:
Right after the new ROM first boots, I make sure my root file explorer is installed and has SU permissions.
I navigate to system/app/MarketUpdater.apk
Click on Mount as RW (usually top of screen in your root explorer app)
Long press on the market updater
Tap Rename
Rename same as original, but change the file extension to .bak
I do all of this BEFORE I open the market for the first time after flashing a ROM.
This keeps the market from updating to the latest green version.
I love u guys. Can't find thanks button on phone but thanks. I really love this place

ok you have erased and deregistered your device from the nook tablet stock settings right? which means ur still rooted in terms of being able to run sideloaded apks.
if you want to take the short route u can just download go launcher ex on your computer and sideload it any do the same process for anything else you are missing, but i would recommend you start from scratch.
to start from scratch, find the superuser.apk which can be found in the nook and zergy installation folder, sideload it onto your nook tablet and also sideload the Nook Tablet Unroot App which Indirect created. Run that app and if all goes well you should have a stock nook tablet at 1.4.0.
just re-run your nook and zergy and you should be fine.
the other option is using adb hijack app, but seeing as you are a novice, i don't think you would want to go that route. hope this helps.
Oh thank you!! Ya I downloaded adb before to go that route and it hurt my brain a little Haha I was happy to find indirects method. Thank you a ton I will do that now!

Okay im getting pretty nervous that im royally screwed. My nook looks like stock 1.4.0 except the little mini book and back button in the status bar that came when I rooted. However....there is no internet browser application ....and every apk I have sideloaded it says.....the nook cannot read this type of file....so I figured I need to re load the appmenu.apk and enable third party....well dur it wont read that file apk either.

ok... what exactly did you do? did you run the nook unroot application that indirect created? I'm kind of confused as to what you did after I posted my suggestions.
I would suggest that you do this.
If it comes to it, power down, hold power and 'n' and it'll turn on, then come to the black background with the n logo then power off. Release just the power button and press and hold again for 7 more times.
On the 9th time just use the power button to turn it on and it'll prompt you with some warnings. Follow through with the continue and it will perform the steps.
BE WARNED: this will perform a complete factory restore so any installed apps will be gone but it won't touch your SD card.

You cannot install apks that way, it will always say that, easiest way is to install the GApps and then get root explorer and copy the files from your SD card to /system/app.

It says my su binary is out of date..but when I update it fails. I just want to unroot and start over. I emailed myself the superuser app from the indirect rooting folder....downloaded it ob my tablet and it installed just fine....so did the unroot file.....is this because I didn't copy it over the way you are saying?

Ok ready im gonna walk you through it.
Root your device
Download the latest super user package, the full package
Unzip the package on your computer, and then find the su in ./system/bin and the SuperUser.apk into the sdcard.
Using root explorer, mount /system/ as rw, and then copy su into /system/bin and superuser.apk into /system/app.
done
your instructions are very clear, but I am not sure how I can move anything in ROOT explorer when I can't get root explorer on my device in the first place....I finally found a download in my browser, and was able to install it on my device...but when I go in there is no option to MOUNT R/W it is simply mounted in R/O....
I keep RE-downloading Go Launcher from my email, and re-opening it....because every single time I hit my N button it takes me back to stock with no way to find the go launcher app....I don't care as long as I can get this dang SU issue fixed so I can unroot and be done with this. what am I missing here, I am sorry i must be very frustrating...but there is no option to change the system to R/W in my root explorer, where there was the button at the top to easily do that before. I am assuming it has to do with the SU not being updated, but I can't do that without rootexplorere akkk and I am not advanced enough to use ADB I dont think.....any ideas? my tablet easily downloads and installs things from emails.....thats the only thing I have going for me right now
My sgs2 camera stopped working since i changed from GB to ICS 3 days ago. Whenever i launch the camera app the screen goes black and after 25secs a message pops up saying: "unfortunately, Camera has stopped." I'm currently using Criskelo Servan Team ICS V5 rom. Can someone give me some help to fix this problem since i cannot post on developers thread to get help from there.
thanks.
It's weired, i had the exact same problem... but somehow it got fixed by itself.
Whenever I wanted to launch the camera (either by the lockscreen shortcut or inside the app drawer) the screen turned black and after a few seconds it went back to the home screen.
I don't know why but now the camera is working perfectly.
I don't know what happened to make it work so I'm sorry I can't really help. The last thing i did to launch the camera though was through google maps. I selected a place and now you can choose "add a picture". I selected it thinking that the camera app wouldn't be able to launch again but BOOM ! it did anyway.
Before that I grabed another camera app on the store just to check if the hardware was still ok and the app worked fine.
Anyway, I have the same rom as you so I just wanted to say that the camera CAN work with this rom.
Well I tried what you did and I'm still getting the same: "Unfortunately, Camera stopped" message. So I'm back to square 1.

Guys, open root explorer, navigate to system/app, make sure mount is r/w not r/w in top of root explorer, click on camera apk,it will ask you if you want to replace it,click yes. Then reboot. Should working now.

Hello everyone !
First of all thank you for sharing your tips and knowlegde... this is a nice community !
So I've tried to just copy it and past it in my SGS2 (after renaming the original Camera.apk) and it crashes from the beginning, always. I'm on crsikelservan ICS V5 Rom version. (XXLPQ)
Any advice ?
Thank you
You have to use "root explorer" and mount it in R/W mode.
1. go into the criskelo servan rom v5 that should be in your internal sd.
2.Open the rom folder then go into the apps folder and find the camera.apk file.
3. Extract the file, you'll then get a pop up asking if you would like to go to that folder where the camera.apk file was extracted to or stay in the current folder.
4. Select the "go to that folder" option, you would see the camera.apk there.
5. long press on the camera.apk and select the "move" option. You should be now in the parent folder after selecting that option (if not go there!).
6.From in the parent folder go into the system folder and paste the "camera.apk" file in the apps folder.
7. Pop up should appear asking if you want to overwrite the camera.apk that's there already, select overwrite.
8. Close root explorer and launch your camera, it should be working fine now.
NOTE: I did this as well to fix my Bluetooth that wasn't working as well from my Criskelo Servan Rom V5. I wasn't getting any bluetooth options when I launched my Bluetooth. After repeating the same process I used above (just replacing the Bluetooth.apk instead) I was able to get all Bluetooth options and functions.
ALSO NOTE: I give thanks to the ephraim033whose advice I used to correct my camera issue (link attached in my last post) as well as 078gregory Which without their knowledge I would not be able to solve my camera issue! SO IF THIS POST HELPED YOU HIT THE THANKS BUTTON HERE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, CHECK OUT MY LAST POST AND THANK EPHRAIM033 THAT HELPED ME BY VIEWING THE LINK THERE AND THANKING HIM AS WELL & 078GREGORY WHO POSTED PREVIOUSLY IN THIS THREAD.

Don't know about the script but if you have the ROM in zip format then open it and pull/extract only the phone.apk.... using flashtool push the apk onto the phone... if that doesn't work then copy apk onto your mmc and side load it.... I have no idea about script either...
