hey guys,
im having a difficult time trying to install a different version of swype on the phone.
i have deleted the original apk using root explorer and tried to install the latest one (the one that has 19 languages because it supports my language also). i tryed installing it using adb but it gave me install failuire, i tried installing it from the sd card using root explorer but it asked me if i want to replace the current one an it gave me a application not installed message. the thing is i deleted the old swype apk....
how can i install this new one??
i would really apreciate any help!!
did you backup your old swype apk ? should have pulled it using ADB
i prob would have opened them both up and checked the changes in the packages, pulled your original one, opened it in winrar, not extract, added or changed the files, closed and pushed back onto your device.
however, you will need to add permissions to certain folders using root explorer to be able to do this
if you want the swype apk from a UK, international version i can pull and upload for you

thanks for that, but i managed to install it...
the thing is i tried taking out some other languages that it has inside, resign and upload to phone but it screws everything up..
you think you can make me a light version? just english and romanian, no tips no tricks no nothing ??
EDIT: sorry about that
Careful I believe posting swype files is against XDA policy
hey, i got a virgin mobile s2 yesterday and i rooted and unlocked with
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13715727
and galaxy s unlock on the market.
im assuming it went well since i have the yellow triangle and my rogers sim now works.
i got root explorer and followed instructions on making "local.prop" in data with "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" but it hasnt been working.
is there any known problems with my type of combination
Virgin
XWKDD_insecure.tar
or any other help at all?
Im totally new to this and i dont want to mess anything up by using another rom or something because i need it before a flight tomorrow morning.
You could delete the following using root explorer:
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click_short.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/Shutter_01.ogg
That way you delete the audio file the camera uses. If you don't want to do it as a permanent solution, you could backup the files if you want to restore them.
hmm i already tried to rename those files in root explorer but i got a no permission error. but your post brought me back to it and i successfully renamed them after turning on "mount r/w".
Thanks! lol
Although it would have been cool to keep the sounds and only make it silent when it was in silent mode :/
Hi all,
Hope you guys can help me.
Two days ago I was digging my rooted device(2.3.5) and had accidentally uninstalled my "settings.apk",... Now I cant change my settings because I've lost my access to settings menu..Also, many functions like widgets, wifi config and sms service seems to be gone.
Can you guys believe I was able to do that?? haha...
I need someone to send me this apk again or..... Since My device is from Brazil and I dont know if there's something diff between verions, I need to reinstall my Android but I couldnt find a tutorial..
Could please try to help me??
Regards,
Fernando
look for the fastboot files for your device in the development section
My razr is also from Brazil, but was bought in Canada. It is not rooted. Can I help you anyway?
Hummmm...Maybe....if you could send me the "settings.apk" I can try to reinstall it... Since your RAZR is from Brazil, I bleieve you'll find it with diff name, "Configurar.apk"
I'd be glad if you try..
Fernando
"fergione @ g m a i l . c o m"
Didnt work. still no access to settings menu.
Hey
A user has sent me the settings.apk, bur it hasnt worked, it finishes the instalation with the msg "Application is not installed"...I believe I'll have to reinstall 2.3.5 (brasilian versionagain... I saw lots of threads talking about it, but since I'm not familiar with this it will be hard to find the right one?
Could you please point me the right thread to follow?? Is there a step by step?
Thanks,
Fernando
You don't install system apks, you push them to /system/app, or drop them in there manually with a file explorer that has root access (root explorer, es file explorer, et cetera). User-installed apps live in the /data partition.
Make sure you have the matching settings.odex in /system/app as well.

Hummmm.. i hope this will help u
Great...
I'll try that, but I also need the ".odex" as for razr 2.3.5 as well.
MAX6500, could you send me your ".odex" file too??
Thanks
Hi all,
I'm facing similar issues...
I stupidly deleted some system files which I had backed up, the backup however dosent seem to work even after placing it in the system/app folder with the right permissions and ownership.
also I can't seem to find a leaked fastboot file for my system version: 65.1.21.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03
any ideas?
My RAZR is back...

Hi everyone just picked up this phone coming from a rezound.I'm brand new to att and I've never see this icon before,it's the one to the left of the alarm clock.I've already unlocked and rooted so if I need to edit the build prop that's not a problem.any one know what this ugly icon is?

It's the NFC notification.
You can turn NFC off in settings and the notification goes away. Just turn it on when you want to use it.

I had several phones with NFC and none of them showed this ugly symbol. Must be a HTC thing. The worst is that Google Wallet is anyway deactivated by AT&T. So it is pretty useless except for exchanging data with Google beam.
Does anyone know how to remove the icon from the status bar without disabling NFC?
I found a thread about disabling it on the Galaxy Note II, but it doesn't work for the One X+.
This is what you do on the Note:
"This can be edited in the feature.xml file (located in "/system/csc/feature.xml") under the NFC the Statusbaricontype should be changed from ATT to none."
Perhaps there's a similar method for us.

The process isn't exactly similar, but the icon can indeed be replaced. The icon is found in the Nfc.apk package in /system/apps. Open Nfc.apk with the archive manager of your choice and replace the stat_sys_nfc_vzw.png file located in res/drawable-hdpi with an icon that is a bit more pleasing to the eye (I've opted for a transparent image myself). I've attached my modified Nfc.apk; it is from an AT&T HOX+ so I can only recommend using it with that variant (but who knows!).

Awesome! I appreciate your work on this!
I still have one question, however. I've opened and explored your apk and see your 1x1 transparent .png, and I also see how you edited the .apk.
My question is, how do you go about flashing it and replacing the stock app?
I'm runing a rooted HTC One X+, with the stock OS.

You can either use adb and the push command. Or you can use a file explorer, delete the original first, then copy the new one over. Finally set it's permissions to rwx-rxx-rxx.

Hmm...I'm using Root Browser Lite (I currently don't have access to a computer with the Android SDK installed). I deleted the original Nfc.apk, and it seems to have removed the app from the phone (or uninstalled it, I suppose), however the original .apk still appears in the /system/app/ directory according to both Root Browser Lite and OI File Manager. Furthermore, when I try to copy the modified Nfc.apk, I get a message saying that a file by that name already exists, so I just ask the phone to overwrite the existing file. It starts thinking about it for a minute or two, then says that the operation failed.
As it stands, I have the original file in the original location,albeit unistalled and no way to install it, as I get the "App was not installed" Message when I try to install it.
This may be a dumb question, but am I able to use the Terminal Emulator app to issue the adb command you suggested? If not, Do you have any other suggestions to get me out of this hole I've dug myself into?
Edit: I've succesfully moved the edited file to the correct location!!! I used ES File Explorer. However....I still can't install. I've done everything including changing the permsissions....it just won't install.
Thanks ahead of time!

System apps are not meant to be installed like regular apks, just reboot the phone and the changes in the new apk should take effect (when you turn NFC on no icon should appear).

I've done both of those things now, and still the NFC options don't show up in the menu. It makes the menu look rather lonely.
Just wondering if any further developments have been made regarding this issue. It makes me sad every time I think about how my phone is probably one of the only HOX+s out there that's incapable of using its NFC hardware.
I know its a pain in the ass, but you could always flash a new rom

Bleh...I think you're right. As it sits, I'll probably just live without NFC until a stable CM10 build is released for AT&T phones.

Is your One X+ an AT&T version? If it is, how did you root it? I have the phone, and I already unlocked the boot loader, but I can't find a way to root.

That's the easiest way to go about it.
I hope it helps.
P.S. I personally don't mind, but you should probably start with the search bar, otherwise you may end up getting berated by other forum users.

Here are the original apk and odex files if you want to give them a try (just to get functional NFC back for when you need it).
Edit: xda tells me the odex is an invalid file, here's a dropbox link instead https://www.dropbox.com/s/cpb87mar7eipjdd/Nfc.odex

I very much appreciate the sentiment! I, however was sure to leave a copy, untouched, of the original .apk and .odex on my sd card.
I did indeed try the copies you provided to no avail.
A reflash is looking more and more imminent...
This is a long shot, but does anyone have an Alcatel OneTouch Pop Astro (5042T) that they can pull DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUi.apk from their system apps folder?
I accidentally deleted these files and now I can't download anything from the Play Store. If you need root, use the KingRoot app to root your phone.
Much appreciated!

On my Astro, I've only got DownloadProviderUi.apk (and not DownloadProvider.apk). Possible that the other file is somewhere else?
Also, wondering if you're aware of any custom roms that work for this device. I'm pretty diehard Cyanogen, but the Astro hasn't been ported there yet. Anything would be interesting for me to look at, thanks!
I found the downloadproviderui.apk & odex. In the /system/apps/ folder... And i also found my downloadprovider.apk & odex in /system/private-app/ folder.... I am new at this... And will try to attach the files.... Do you need the odex too...
Which version of KingRoot did you use? I can't get it to work on mine. I would really like to root this phone and any help would be appreciated.
back up

I'm having a few issues as well with this phone. I had it rooted with King Root and all seemed well, I accidentally let it OTA update and the flash failed and now its stuck in stock recovery. Does anyone have or know how to get a stock .zip file?
