Hello-
Just got my new LTE and rooted it right away. I then loaded my Titanium files from my old EVO to install my old apps. While cleaning up the backups in Titanium, I accidentally deleted the program that displays weather; this is the one where you press the space right below the clock on the main page. When I press it now, it says the application isn't installed.
What is the name of this app and where can I get it? Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can extract myself from this bone-headed move.

Did u make a Nand after u rooted?
Of course not. Grrrrr
well i got a simple solution. Especially cause your rooted now. Flash Viper's Stock Deodexed ROM. Just because, you plan to stay Rooted correct? Its up to date, and no different from what u have now. Its just deodexed.
EDIT....Ohh im sorry, he has odex and Deodexed Stock ROms. Or you could start over. I could give you the Weather.apk and have you push it to system/app, but why go thru all that trouble. If your looking to stay Stock, and keep that fresh and nice **BACK-UP** (lol, had to do that) then i would flash one of the few Stock ROms we got now, or flash the RUU and sgtart over. I personally dont like adding in things that were taken out by accident. Could make a mess.
Here you go. Put these in your Titanium Backup folder and then restore.

I used TB and then synced it to Dropbox. EASIEST ... WAY ... EVER to get stuff to (and from) your PC.
That didn't do it. Can you send the weather.apk?
I sent this one. Which do you want?

Yeah i was trying to do that. Jesus...LOL....
Actually, I'm not sure what I need. I restored the one you sent, but it didn't fix the problem. I really don't want to install a new ROM just yet - I like the stock ROM (for now).
Well, can you compare my list to what's on yours and see what's missing?
The one that you sent is missing, but I copied it to the Titanium folder on my phone. This is really strange.
Okay, then in TB, go to: Menu -> Refresh Apps List
That should read it into TB so TB can restore it.
I had already refreshed it.
Okay...
Then what? They won't install?
Maybe try renaming them to "Weather.apk" and "Weather.odex" and putting them into /system/app manually.
Wait, never mind. Hang on a sec...
Okay, try these. The .zip contains both Weather.apk and Weather.odex pulled from my /system/app folder.
I copied them over to the sdcard and then went into adb shell. I tried to move them to /system/app but it is read only. How do I get them there?
I don't know off-hand how to do it through adb but you can install ES File Explorer (free) from the market. Then, under Settings there is an option to mount the system folder as writeable.
Or maybe someone can step in and advise how to do it in adb.
I was able to get it to /system/app, but it still isn't working. How can I get a stock ROM and install it?
Check the permissions. I think they should be rw - r - r.

Aparently there are three distinct startup screens. This is a guide to changing the last one, in my case its the O2 bubbles screen:
You need a 800x480 pic, rename/convert it to '00.png'
1. Use 'Root Explorer' and browse to the /system folder. (you can of course use any of the other file explorers with root permission out there)
2. There is a button above the folder list called 'Mount R/W' click it.
3. Now navigate to your '00.png' file and copy it.
4. Navigate to the /system/customization/BootAnimation/images/ folder and rename the '00.png' thats there '00bak.png'.
5. Paste your '00.png' file in there...DONE
Heres one I made earlier:
Thanks for the info mate
hello thank's for the info dude. can we use a .gif file ???

Thanks for the info, if it wasn't for you I would most definitely be interested in how to change the image.

Sorry for the bump... Any tutorial on how to do this on 2.1?
I would imagine its the same.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Nope, the /BootAnimation/images/ folders don't exist.
On 2.1, I found a /system/media/bootanimation.zip
with sub dirs /part0, /part1
in /part0 there is a 00000.png (which is the O2 boot screen).
Didn't try changing it, but I bet that will do the trick..
Will try & let you know..
Awesome, thanks. I'll also give it a blast once I get home fom college.
That didn't work, that is a zip file, cant find where it is being extracted in 2.1. Will keep searching.
Only got a quick chance to play with it yesterday, but I think the .zip file is the answer. I think the reason it didn't work for us because it wasn't signed. Will try editing, and then signing, the zip file later.
Sorry to bump an older thread, but I'm still having no luck. Anyone have links to a recent tutorial that'll work on 2.1/2.2?
Of course it doesn't work, it was just some developers attempt to get you all to spend money on 'Root Explorer' apps!
You didn't fall for that one

For all the Trolls out there, you can use any file manager that gives you root permissions.
I was simply giving the steps 'I' did to get a different startup screen.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone by trying to help the community.

The bootanimation.zip IS the file you wanna change if you want a different boot up screen. I have a bunch of bootanimation.zip from previous Android device and they work but for some reason when I try to create my own or even just modify the stock one and re-zip, it just comes up with a black screen.
didnt get the stock dell logo animation that comes with the att streak, but i did get rid of the o2 logo and its been replaces with the stock android one (looks rather android 1.0 -ish). and i guess thats more relevant.
This is just a stock sense battery w/o the percentage. I only made this cause I worry about my phone battery A LOT and battery percentage makes it worse for me and I wondered if other people felt the same, so I'm sharing it here. It's really not much so don't criticize or talk crap about it. Just for those iffy people who HATE battery percentages. Enjoy!
Installation Process
- Unzip files into a folder called battery.
- Go into cmd enter " cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools "
- Then enter " adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk "
- Open the .apk file w/winRAR
- Go to res>drawable-hdpi
- Drag contents from the "Battery Folder" into drawable-hdpi
- Now, put framework-res.apk into SDK tools folder and " adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework "
- Enjoy

Hello all. Hoping someone can help me get 4 system apps back so that I can restore it to my Prime. I had made a backup for them through TB. But when I went to restore it it didn't give me an option to restore. Looks like datas were saved but the actual apks are gone. I had assumed TB had made a backup of the apks before I deleted them from system/app
Missing apks:
MyLibrar 2.1.0
Talk 4.0.3-239410
WebStorage 1.1.38.4657
Zinio 1.0.6.4097
I recall that peeps that had root prior to ics update that had removed system apps could not complete the updates. So im trying to avoid that. Any help would be much appreciated.

Yep OTA is no good now with system apps deleted. Did you know with ICS you could've just frozen those apps instead? its built into the prime. You "should" still be able to manually update through Asus website bit those updates take a while after release to be put up there.
Actually in developement there's a system dump from a prime. download the system dump then unzip it and look for the specific apk you need in there.
I learned my lesson the hard way like you with my Atrix. I rooted n deleted system apps n OTA wouldn't wrk.
With ICS I froze (and it hides then) like 10 system apps... I like that function a lot.

what system apps did you disable or found useless? I wonder when OTA updates come do you need to re-enable those apps/defrost them for OTA to work or can they just stay frozen.
I think I'm good now. The datas from TB that I backed up is no longer there since I reinstalled the missing system apks.
Darn. The ICS system dump for some reason doesn't contain apks,
MyLibrar 2.1.0
WebStorage 1.1.38.4657
Requesting anyone that can dropbox me a link to these two apks if possible?

Figured it out through manual update of ICS. Got all my systems apks back Thanks Asus!

How many times have you gone through this: download a new ROM, backup all your apps with Titanium, reboot into recovery, perform a nandroid backup, wipe, install new ROM, boot and set up, then restore all your apps and data. Yeah, it's crazy. And it takes forever.
What if you could cut that time by a solid 20 or 30 minutes? Thanks to a new feature just incorporated in Titanium Backup, you can. With the newest update to TB Pro, you can now create a flashable zip of all your apps and data. That means that you can flash all your goodies right after a new ROM and fire up a system that's ready to go right out of the box.
You can try here
And for Pro here
uhh..... welcome to android?
EDIT: ahh... nvm... just realised that u pointed out the update.zip creation of backups well yea that is a nice feature
Who does not know for this app its not made for Android.

Hey i have trouble viewing the update.zip in CWM ( i change the name to titanium app+data;would that matter? i already have a folder named update.zip that's why) i can view if in my File Manager by CM. But no matter where i put the file it does not show up in CWM. And yes i did run the program first. And have tried installing and uninstalling it 3 times as well as a fresh slate on phone.

Hey there, I know this has been asked before because I've seen it but I can't seem to find it again. Maybe someone else can help out. I've flashed through a few ROMs and I've ended up with quite a hefty load of about 5GB of data that I can't seem to find. I don't have any nandroid backups on my phone at the moment. I've deleted almost everything I could find. I'm running NuSense Six m7 base. RC6.8. Attached are a couple screenshots illustrating my issue. What is taking up so much space?!

Are you sure you don't have any backups hiding....?
Current versions of twrp backups can be found, using a root enabled file explorer.
Check in /data/media/0/TWRP/backups
I'm using CWM but I didn't have any backups there. I know "Other" is supposed to store the OS, but is 5GB an acceptable size?

Not really, no.
The Rom should only use about half of that.
Which is why it seems you have one backup hiding somewhere.
If I were you, I'd back up anything important to my computer.
Then I'd wipe everything and sideload or adb push the Rom.
That should clean everything up.
Then just put back what you need or want.
This is also dependent on how many apps you've restored or installed since loading the base Rom.
Some games and various apps data can be rather large.

Yeah, Google it, it's actually really easy.
Just a word of advice:
Place a working rom.zip on your device. (as a failsafe in case sideload or adb push doesn't work for you.)
Practice at least once, adb pushing or sideloading a rom, prior to wiping the device.
That way you can be sure you have the process working before you wipe the device.
This way, while practicing, if you have any troubles with adb or drivers, etc,..you'll still have at least one rom zip on your internal storage that you can flash back to until you get it working.
I don't wanna see you end up with no OS and no working method to get a rom back on the device.
(only reason you would have any issues would be due to adb drivers)
Once you know the process is working with your PC setup and drivers, then you can wipe and sideload for real...
