Hi,
I got a Problem with the Stock Gallery App of the Samsung Galaxy S3..
I managed to hide the Stock Gallery App using Audio Manager, which was a stupid Idea..
Now I can't revert that Process..
I have also tried to extract the SecGallery2.apk and push it to System manually (with correct permissions) but it just won't work
Any Help would be appreciated
Thank you
Maybe try uninstalling Hide It Pro (Audio Manager)?

Settings > applications ; and then clear the data for the app that you used to hide Gallery.

i uninstalled Audio Manager(hide it pro) and pushed gallery to system again and this time it worked, I can see the gallery app again, but after opening it crashes
permissions are -rw-r--r--, that should be correct, also tried fixing permissions, which didn't help

I'd personally do a factory reset and reflash the ROM, and restore apps from Google once you're reflashed. Should sort things out (bit overkill though!).
hmm I guess I'll do that, I've had to reflash so often, back on my sensation, I don't care that much anymore
thank you anyways

I know how to change the defaults that is not my issue.
I came from the first Galaxy S running crayogen ICS and the messaging app on that is way better than the Samsung one, it just sucks.
I tired installing the apk from the crayogen rom but I keep getting an error.
When I try I get the this is a system app are you sure you want to continue and replace it. I then select install and just get a error Application not installed.
So I used root explorer, found the default samsung app, renamed it, copied over the other app with the same name and installed it from within the system folder and it worked, so it is now working but it doesn't look the same as it did on my old phone.
Any help?
This is the XT9 message app with dark background thy this install just like you did b4
couldn't get that one to work for some reason, did the same thing and kept getting unable to install error
Try Go SMS Pro?
I use GO SMS Pro also and its awesome! You are correct...The stock messaging app is god awful!
I use Handcent and it's way better than stock.
Instead of renaming the secmms.apk, make a copy and pt it on your sdcard. Delete it from your system/app folder, push the new apk to system/apk.
Reboot. It should bout to the Android is updating screen if it worked.

Thanks for that, but it still didn't work it defaults to the app but it still isn't working correctly and doesn't look like the old app I use to have and when I open settings it always crashes.
What I have done is disabled the default messaging app in settings, installed GoSms and using that as the default. Its not bad and better to adapt to but still miss the CyanogenMod messaging app I had on the I9000
Thanks for the replys
Have you modded the app at all? You might have to sign it before it will install/work
Name it Mms.apk

Modded system apps should not be signed, fwiw.
Hello people
I have just installed google maps and street view (these are system apps you know and cant be un-installed normally). So i used "Root Uninstaller Pro" to remove them. It did remove them, but now i had four strange apps in my app drawer. When i click them, it says not responding. I am also unable to remove them from "Root Uninstaller" since they are not listed there.
So can anyone please tell me how do i remove these apps?
The app names are-->
com.google.android.maps.Latitude
com.google.android.maps.Place
com.google.android.maps.Drive
com.google.android.maps.maps
Thanks for helper
You mean you have these four icons in your app drawer?

Do you have root?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yes. They appear in app drawer.
Yes. My phone is rooted ofcourse, that was why i was able to use Root Uninstaller.
One thing, when i restarted my phone, those apps are removed from app drawer. Does that mean they are removed from system too?
Yes. I believe so.

If you have root you can check in system/app with a file manager I use root explorer. But if they're gone it's been uninstalled.

I have nearly the same problem, i disabled them but on every restart the y come back.
Simply use TitaniumBackup to freeze or uninstall the apps.
Thanks for help buddies. They are finally gone
Hi,
Could anyone tell me where a stock galaxy s 3 app would be installed to please?
The reason i ask is because an app i am using (six axis controller) installed itself to /data/data/ instead of sdcard/data/
Is the latter the location of which apps on stock roms are installed?
Because i am using foxhound 1.3 and my apps are all installed to /data/data/ making touch profiles for the six axis app, impossible to use, because they are saved to and imported from sdcard/data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller the app would need root access to get there, unfortunately it doesn't.
All my apps are up to date and are legit versions, all paid for.
This all might sound confusing and i hope it doesn't.
Any knowledge about the whereabouts of where apps or parts of apps are installed to on stock roms would be a great help.
Many thanks.
System apps are in /system/app
All other apps should be in /data/app.

sdcard/android/data is where it tends to install files etc
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks for all the replies, the problem i've got is, all my apps are being installed to /data/data/ and the six axis app needs it to be installed in sdcard/data/ apparently i'm all alone in this.
I've tried omega, foxhound and android revolution.
All do the same thing.
Yet everyone talks about the app being installed to sdcard/data/
Whenever i point the app to that location it force closes.
Really annoying.
No worries buddy, my advice would be to flash back to original ics (LG8) then root (I use CF-ROOT 6.4) and see if you're still having trouble after that buddy

hmmm.. try using Link2SD , open the Menu using menu button -> Settings -> Install location -> change from "Automatic" to "Internal"
hopefully, the directory for installation will change into sdcard/Android/data :good::laugh:
OK so after trying everything I could think of, I went with mega wipe which killed off the internal SD card and everthing in it including data, so now everything works perfect

Anyone else lose it? I lost walkman and video player as well. Don't want to have to reset if i can help it. Any thoughts?
Get root explorer and look in system/app and vendor/app and see if you can find missing apps. You won't need root

I understand your reluctance to perform a Factory Reset, but I believe a Factory Reset is most likely the cure for your tablet's ailment. Yes, you will have to reenter your user information and reinstall your user apps, but hey, a clean install should be looked at as a good thing. For safety's sake, you should backup all your personal files (pictures, videos, audios, documents) before performing the Factory Reset, but it probably will not delete your personal files, at least it didn't when I performed a Factory Reset.

First I would try to use the copy text feature in another app and check if it worked there. If yes then the problem is in the app you use. If no, then I try to find a SW update for the phone with Samsung Kies (supposing you have already tried to restart it) and if still no success I would reset the phone.
Not working on any app, can't even use the inbuilt copy and paste of uc browser and already try restarting the phone, I have the last update for my phone
