Is there an apk out there for verizon backup assistant? My rom didn't come with it, and i would surely like to get all my contacts back
I'd first recommend grabbing it from the ruu if you have it and then flash it as a system app. Look it up its easy.
Then go to Google.com/contacts and back up your contacts with the account you use for your phone. So then it will be much less of a hassle to switch carriers and phones because your always gonna use that account for your phone unless you get an iphone(why?)

3.14.605.7
its the one that was for unrooted users as i wasnt rooted until today
edit version number
Its very unlikely that this will work because its cleanrom pro and Scott states that all apps that were removed cant be restored but ill give it a shot:
first download these three apks:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4si0ghet66qc6rl/ba-syncservice-app-signed.apk this is the service for auto sync
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pke2vs49kbkuc5v/VerizonSSOEngine.apk you need this for any vzw apps so theoretically if this whole thing works you can also install my verizon if you would like
https://www.dropbox.com/s/amhrniz4n97plhv/VzWBAClient.apk actual backup app
Im going to assume you have adb and fastboot drivers already set up if you dont look it up:
1.after downloading these throw them on your desktop and open a cmd window. Windows+r and type "cmd"
first type 'adb devices' and make sure yours shows up.
Then type:
Code:
cd desktop(or wherever you put them)
then for each file type this. for example angry birds:
Code:
adb push angrybirds.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/angrybirds.apk
do this with all three apks and start with the sso engine
then type
Code:
adb reboot
and you should be good
probably won't work since scott pulls lib files, etc as well for those verizon apks. Better off using titanium or whatever to back up your current apps, then flashing cleanROM (not pro) that has those working to get your contacts.

thats exactly what i was thinking. if what i said before doesnt work. flash the ruu again and then backup your apps to google then flash cleanrom
mybackup pro is a nice app that will back up your contacts, call log, texts, calendar, etc as well if you have something against google doing it.

Provided you have root, the file attached below should work. Use adb to push it;
Code:
adb remount
adb push Mms.apk /system/app
adb reboot
You could also use Astro or Root Expolorer; Put it on your sdcard, load up Astro or Root Explorer, locate the file, edit->cut, find /system/app and edit->paste/place, then reboot.
Do a nandroid backup first in case it doesn't work and remember, you do this at your own risk - I'm not responsible if your phone grows legs and leaves you or explodes.

I do like your rom and flashed it to my phone after a NAND backup and a wipe of my data / dalvik. It didn't work for me though, as I still had the sense dialer and some weird lockscreen that wasn't similar to the ss's you have in your post. Maybe I should try it again.

Tainted Vanilla is no longer being worked on. Try switching to one of Framework's ROMS.
1. CyanogenEris gives you the full AOSP that you may have looking for in TV. A bit buggy for me.
2. Evil Eris v(whatever you want. I'm using 3 but 2.0.1 is also great while 3 is being developed).
I think both have working MMS, but I can confirm that it is with EE v3.
sorry for the total n00b questions but what is AOSP? I keep seeing it everywhere

edit: Posted new apk from cm6.1 for the G2. Works flawlessly now.
Works on iced glacier deodexed rom. Not sure about stock rom, but I dont see why it wouldn't. Just delete the odex file as well when deleting Mms.apk

You're right. I got it working now. OP updated.
would this method work with the vanilla contacts.apk as well? I absolutely hate the sense version of contacts/dialer and I cannot wait for CM6 to be ported to the MT4G. If i could have the vanilla mms and contacts/dialer the wait would be much more bearable.

What would happen if I were to flash the gapps that Kmobs posted for CM6 over a rooted, s-off, stock ROM? I have a feeling best case nothing would work, worst case I'd get a bunch of force closes if the device were to boot at all. I've got a nandroid backup but I'm still hesitant.

You will get the Google apps. And the only way you can get the android marketplace iz if you flash the gapps because it is not on the stock cm6. I flashed it and nothing went wrong and was very happy it installed android market automatically after you set up your Google account

Gotten 3 force closes so far while typing texts to people (within the past 1.5 hour ... :/) and some buttons in settings cause force closes. doh.
Anyone know how to get back the sense mms or whatever? I forgot to make a back up (though I have one from a few weeks ago, I've just done other stuff since then). Doh!
edit: It seems that it force closes for me whenever I send a message, but the message goes through to the other person, so not too big of a deal I suppose.
Hey guys, can anyone post their Mms.apk that is stock from the sense ui? This vanilla Mms.apk is seriously screwed up. I keep getting texts from people saying that I am sending the same text like 10 times when I only sent it once. It force closes whenever I send a text and claims that it never went through. It also force closes when trying to go to settings. I forgot to make a nandroid right before doing this
Can anyone please help me out and post their stock Mms.apk? Or if I just backup my phone with Titanium and then wipe/restore it, would that fix it? I'm not quite sure what the command "rm" did from the instructions. Ah.. this is what I get for playing with fire, doh!
Am I the only one with these issues? Stock rom btw :/
EDIT: Ok I guess you can ignore the above. I uninstalled and reinstalled with the Mms.apk found in this thread (I guess I did the other thread for some reason) and it seems to work OK now. Thanks all for putting up with me!

I use root explorer to remove them. Just choose multi select from the menu, then check each one you want to remove and hit delete. Or you can choose move and put them in a folder on your SD card if you'd like.

Is there a thread with the apps that are safe to remove yet? I cant seem to find one.
Flash a rom that has the bloat already removed. I flashed OMJ Deodexed De-bloated Rom first thing after using revolutionary.
Root explorer has been great for me as well. Have to fork up a little dough but thats fine with me since i use it on all my devices. Just dont delete things that could be important. dont delete the stock messaging app or no incoming mms, if you delete sprint zone you cant call customer service with *2 etc....
Root Explorer works great but ES FIle Explorer will do the ame thing as long as it you give it root access. And it's free.

AWESOME! Really appreciate it.
The first night the phone was rooted, before any roms were released I used Root Uninstaller (from the market) to remove the bloat. Just make sure you use the uninstall option, NOT freeze!!!!
As far as a list, heres one of what dev - kushdeck removed from his rom...seems to pretty much cover all the bloat. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194672
Removed Bloat:
AdobeReader
Amazonmp3
Blockbuster
FusionStocks/Widget
Footprints/Widget
News/Widget
Magicsmoke Wallpapers
Sprint Radio
Nascar
PolarisOffice
Spiderman
Mobilewallet
SprintNavi
SprintTV
Sprintzone
Stocks
Obviously just don't delete things you want to keep/might use, if you do though, he has also uploaded a zip with the files that were removed.

I like TWRP the best. It takes some from Amon_RA. Very well put together.
Viperboy made a flashable Mod . You can select groups of bloadware (sprint, htc, misc) or you can remove each one individually. If you're not using ViperROM, at least check it out.

Now how about the rooting process. I don't want to add a custom rom at the moment, just root and remove stuff. Like do I REALLY have to temp root before I perm root? That seems kinda like a waste of time.
Also, If I'm not happy with the recovery I flash, can I flash a different one, or am I stuck with what I choose?

Well no you don't have to flash a custom rom to root. You can very much root the stock rom. And as far as root, well what did you want to know??? And as far as your recovery. If you flash one and want to change it yes its possible. As long as its done correctly you can change at will. Id recommend twrp 1.0.3 to start with. Its user friendly, custom colors to choose from and it has a great support thread.

I remember the dialer before i upgraded to ICS had a tab at the top for contacts, i could click that and find the contact i wanted, hell i could even send a SMS from there by swyping the contact name to the side...
The new dialer for ICS has contacts listed under the menu button, meaning its one more keypress to get there. It just doesnt "flow" as well, if that makes sense.
Im wondering, has anyone else noticed this? how can i get back the old dialer? Are there any good tweaked ICS roms that have this (and other) improvements? Im sorry but search didnt come up with anything and this place is crazy (two android development sections!?!) i couldnt find anything when i searched that met what im looking for.
Im currently running XXLPQ stock
hey there, i am using resurrection remix 1.4 w/ siyahkernel3.1rc6, and the dialler app for ics has contacts at the top of the dialler if thats what your looking for? its got 3 tabs, dialler, recent calls, contacts
That's exactly what inn looking for, any chance you can post the dialer apk for me?
i will do a titanium backup and see if i can get hold of my apk
EDIT: the two files i attached, put it in sd card, titanium backup... i THINK this will work, i would to a nandroid backup just to be sure, then try restoring the apps (search for phone in titanium)
pm me if i dnt reply to this thread
No go on the titanium backup, didn't wanna show up in my list, i cleared my titanium folder so there was nothing else, put the files in, restarted, start TB, no backups found for the dialer.
Try using root explorer and finding your dialer apk and post that? I can manually replace the file
thats the thing its not called dialler lol, its called phone, and seems to be fragmented into two parts =S lol let me see if i can find someting else
EDIT: try un g zipping the file so it shows an APK file and try pushing it to the system maybe? or installing it
EDIT 2: i managed to extract these apk's from the resurrection remix rom:
contacts, contactsprovider, phone, phonesky
hope it helps
Perhaps both Phone.apk (and .odex if applicable) and Contacts.apk (and .odex if applicable)?
my bad let me find .odex
EDIT: cant find .odex but try push the above found in system (on the rom.zip)

You don't have Phone.odex and Contacts.odex? That means YOU'RE on a deodexed ROM... But IF the other guy who is requesting the files is on an odexed ROM, he will have an extra step of removing the applicable .odex files. But he may already know that. (and it's always recommended to back anything up that you may end up needing again if you remove it)

I had that problem with "Resurrection rom 1.1" and believe me you better re-flash the ROM than s***ing with .apk-s... Didn't work for me so if you don't want to flash again you may use exDialer from the market, it's a good app, has the "swipe" functions and ICS themes, I used it for a week before switching to RR 1.4.
Ya def need one with an odex file...

No... you don't.
Back up the .apk file you intend to replace, along with their corresponding .odex file. Then REMOVE the .odex file and replace the .apk.
For example, if he gives you Phone.apk, and you have Phone.apk and Phone.odex, then COPY your original copies of Phone.apk and Phone.odex to a safe place, then delete Phone.odex, and replace your existing Phone.apk.
I've done this before, and used a deodexed Phone app on my odexed firmware.
Tried that but it didn't seem to work, after restart i lost service and couldn't dual out and had several other services complain on me, perhaps it's not comparable with my system?

If his version of Android is different than yours, then his apps probably wouldn't work for you.
Going back to read the thread, he said he is on Resurrection Remix 1.4. Looking at the thread for that ROM, it is AOKP based, with elements from CM9. What firmware are you on? You said you're on ICS, but you never mention specifically what ROM. Are you on stock? Then yeah, his apps probably won't work for you.
damn a shame it wouldnt work, try out go dialler tho if you want quick contacts access, from the dialler you just have to swipe to change to contacts... i used to use it but the themes arent as good as the ones we have lol

I've not seen any mods for stock ICS to have this. A quick google search also turns up nothing for stock ICS.
So if you absolutely want this in ICS, you will need to flash a custom ROM.
EDIT to add: I should rephrase; you also have the option of using a third party dialer that has contacts integrated. But if you want to have the dialer that is included in the ICS ROM to have the contacts tab, you'll need to flash a custom ROM.

I don't know others , but this really bother me.

I'd be grateful if people on 10.4.2.17 or 10.4.2.18 could check and let me know if the full version numbers on their stock Browsers include the correct build number.
I am currently on 10.4.2.17 though my Browser version says 10.4.2.15 and I believe this may be responsible for my failures to update to 10.4.2.18. Just wan't to check that the build number went up for everyone's Browser with the .17 upgrade.
Many thanks.

I am currently on 10.4.2.17 though my Browser version says 10.4.2.15 and I believe this may be responsible for my failures to update to 10.4.2.18. Just wan't to check that the build number went up for everyone's Browser with the .17 upgrade.
Many thanks.

Thanks. Thought so since all my other systems apps also say .17.
I do remember messing about with the browser after updating to .17 trying to get the damn sync with Google to work so what I think I've done is to restore the wrong version. Looks like this has been a big enough change to the system partition to stop the new update working :crying:.
So my next question is how and where do I get hold of the browser.apk from 10.4.2.17?

Thanks mate. Will I also need the odex file for the .17 version or are they all the same?

The odex file gets created from the apk. If you have a browser odex file then delete it and when you replace with the new browser.apk and restart it should create it.

OK, thanks. The new browser appears to be working just fine. I doubt it's the odex file since I have rebooted a few times. I will delete it though and see what happens.
Grrrr. No good - the droid's still going belly up after a minute or 2. But I am now getting a different error message. Instead of the Unknown Error I now get "The application is not compatible with the device ROM".
I've been right through /system and can't see anything else that would be out of place.
Is there anywhere in particular the update checks? I've tried factory reset and downloaded other copies of the update zip in case I got a bad one. Can you think of anything else I might try?

It is normally caused by something that has changed. Did you edit the build.prop? did you freeze any apps ? did you delete any apps ?

The only thing I can think of is if there is a separate Google Bookmarks Sync apk that came with the .17 ROM? I was using an older version of this. If so can you pull me one and I'll try that.
Also I had been using browser2RAM before the update but I uninstalled it properly before doing the OTA update. It hadn't stopped me updating before either.

Discovered how to extract the system apps from the blob file so found the syc apk (called ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter) and got that working. While I was there I noticed that odex files were included in the ROM so installed the browser from there along with its odex but still the update failed :crying:.
I think now all I can do is go through the system.img from the .17 update and see if I can see anything different from what I have currently on the device.
