Hello, I've deleted my systemUI.apk. It has messed up phone up. I don't have my notifications bar nor multitasking. I have a Huawei M931 with stock firmware but rooted. Could somebody provide a download for their systemUI.apk if they have the same phone? Or help me out with my situation? I never backed up anything from my rom.

Try downloading the stock rom and then again installing it on your phone. You can also try by the software cd that came with your phone

You could reinstall the stock ROM as stated, or you could extract the apk from it and push it to your device. Another option is to flash a new ROM.

I was going to try to flash another ROM to my phone but they all say to make a backup to my SD card. I did not know what that meant. I thought it was making a backup of the ROM and I did not know how to do that. Also my phone did not come with any CDs.

It is making a backup of the ROM. You need a custom recovery to do that.

Deleted systemUI.apk
Hi, I was hoping someone could help me with my problem.
Long story short I rooted my phone because when I tried to update Google Maps I got a 'package file not signed correctly' error so I read around and read you can delete system files which I did and I got Google Maps to update.
Then I delved into rooting a little more and tried to edit the statusbar icons so I extracted the APK file and changed the desired icon but when I tried to add them back into the SystemUI.apk it wouldn't let me paste them. So I decided to delete the whole .apk and then reinstall the modified one but when I clicked the file and tried to Install it I got a message saying ' x Application not installed' but now because I deleted the file I have no Background, StatusBar, Notifications or Multitasking and I'm completely stuck.
I tried wiping my phone which didn't work and I've read around and tried to flash the ROM using Oden3 but it won't detect my phone and now because SystemUI.apk is gone I don't get the USB Storage pop up so I can't connect my phone to the computer.
Too make matters worse when I hold Volume Down + Home + Power to enter recovery or download mode I get an Android symbol on it's Back with a Red triangle and a '!' sign inside. I can click the home button which brings up the menu and the volumes buttons to navigate but then it won't let me select an option.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 which WAS on Android 4.2 but I have no idea whats happened now because the layout is completely different. It looks like Android 4.4 but isn't
I'm completely stuck on what to do and I've searched high and low for 3 days and found nothing that works.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP.

I SOLVED IT *****! HERE'S HOW I DID [email protected]@@
I accidentally deleted com.android.systemui on my phone. Version KitKat 4.4.2.
STEP 1. HAVE AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF THE PHONE READY. HAVE THE SAME PHONE READY. LUCKILY I HAD ANOTHER PHONE OF THE SAME MODEL. GO TO A PHONE SHOP OR SOMETHING.
IT WILL HAVE THE SAME com.android.systemui .
STEP 2. INSTALL NOVA LAUNCHER OR SOME SORT OF LAUNCHER ON THE PHONE MISSING THE FILE, SO YOU CAN LOAD THE PHONE AND BE ABLE TO SEE IT!
STEP 3. INSTALL TITANIUM BACKUP ON BOTH PHONES. ROOT IT AND USB DEBUG IT BEFOREHAND.
STEP 4. ON THE BACK UP PHONE, OPEN UP TITANIUM BACKUP AND CLICK ON BACKUP/RESTORE ON THE TAB AND GO TO com.android.systemui. BACK THE **** UP THE FILE.
STEP 5. CONNECT IT TO THE COMPUTER, AND GO TO YOUR PHONE AND COPY WHAT'S INSIDE THE "TitaniumBackup" FOLDER.
STEP 6. CONNECT THE ****ED UP PHONE TO YOUR COMPUTER AND PASTE THE CONTENTS OF "TitaniumBackup" FOLDER (WHICH ARE com.android.systemui FILES) IN THE ****ED UP PHONE'S "TitanumBackup" FOLDER.
STEP 7. DISCONNECT EVERYTHING, EXIT OUT OF EVERYTHING, AND RESTART THE PHONES. GO TO YOUR ****ED UP PHONE, CLICK ON THE TITANIUM BACKUP, FIND com.android.systemui AND RESTORE IT!
STEP 8. ENJOY YOUR PHONE.
NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORMAT IT , RESET IT, REINSTALL A FOREIGN ROM, OR DEBUG IT USING ADB OR SDK, AND ALL OTHER COMPLICATED THINGS FLOATING AROUND, RISKING LOSING ALL OF ITS DATA. JUST GO A LITTLE CREATIVE.
IF IT WAS OF ANY HELP TO YOU OR YOU ACTUALLY RECOUPED YOUR DATA BECAUSE OF ME, AND YOUR PHONE DATA WAS OF ANY WORTH TO YOU, PROBABLY WORTH MORE THAN $100, PLEASE SEND ME SOME APPRECIATION PREFERRABLY OVER $100, TO MY PAYPAL. THE EMAIL ADDRESS IS [email protected]
i need some help. i deleted my System UI by accident and now my phone cant takeout screenshots or pictures,
Can someone please help me ?

I was hoping someone here can give me a bit of advice.
A couple days ago I was able to successfully root my SF and change out the bottom right search key so it would default to Google from now on.
Feeling good from all that I thought I'd take on a little tougher challenge and do some more customizing, starting out small before I think about tackling the Voodoo stuff later on.
WELL... I tried to change the battery indicator to the circle indicator followed the directions here: UOT Kitchen. How-To
It asked me to back up my "framework-res.apk" because I would have to replace it with one the website generated for me.
Everything went fine until I stupidly tried to do a 1:1 exchange of the new "framework-res.apk" for the original one, by first renaming it to apk.old with the hopes to paste in the new one in its place. BUt as soon as I renamed it and moved it to a backup folder it froze before I could insert the new one.
I know now I should've run the new .apk instead of swapping, but am now stuck with a SF that turns on but that is stuck at the SAMSUNG logo.
I hear the startup sound play and the verizon logo music, but that's as far as it goes. I can still boot into recovery or download mode.
Now, It seems that "all I need to do" is find a way to get access to my internal SD card and rename the "original back to .apk and move it to its original spot in the framework folder.
Is there a way to do something like this? I'm hoping there's some easy way to do this, short of having to do something more radical.
Hopefully there's someone out there that might be able to offer some advice for my current situation.
THANKS!
UPDATE:
FIXED!
Here's what I did.
I tried all the fixes in this link
Odin Restore files to get you to stock - xda-developers
but i was still getting forced closes.
then I wiped the stock recovery cache from the recovery menu.
After that it was still giving me FCs but to a lesser degree and I was able to make it into the "Settings menu" and do a factory reset.
After factory Reset everything has been quite stable.
Hi,
Recently, I accidentally deleted my LG HOME app from my Optimus One (my phone was rooted). But since I was using GO Launcher Pro at the time, it didn't affect the phone functionality.
But then while playing with the phone I factory reset it, and whoosh ! I was left with no launcher screen at all (LG HOME being the default, which I deleted ). I was left with a blank screen, with just the notification bar.
HERE IS HOW I RECOVERED MY PHONE (and not the LG HOME app):
Step 1: Get a launcher app apk from somewhere and copy it to your SD card.
PS: Search on google 'go launcher ex apk' without the quotes. You can also search for ADW launcher or others (see android market).
Step 2: Turn your phone on.
Step 3: Get someone to call on your phone. Pick up the call.
Step 4: During the call tap the 'Add call button'. You will get the dialer pad, with contacts, call logs and favorites tabs as well.
Step 5: Go to contacts and click the menu hardkey to get the menu. Tap 'New Contact'.
Step 6: When you get the new contact form, tap the image with a '+' sign on it (It is used to add a contact image).
Step 7: Now you will get options as to where to get the file. Select OI File Manager.
Step 8: Navigate to the folder in which you copied the Launcher app (Go launcher, ADW Launcher or the like) and install it.
Voila ! You have a new launcher screen now.
PS : I was relieved when I finally got my launcher back. I was on the brink of flashing my phone to the stock KDW, which could've resulted in a bigger mess (Bricking etc.)
NOTE 1: If you factory reset your phone again, you will lose the launcher again, and will be back without a launcher screen. So make sure you don't do so lest you want to repeat Step 1 thru 8 again.
Word of advice: Make sure you have at least one launcher app installed on your phone (no matter which one, it should run).
USERS PLEASE UPDATE THE THREAD WITH OTHER ADVICES FOR THE PROBLEM.

But then you'd need to install all the android SDK and stuff on your PC.
This is just a work around. Of course, one would be in a problem if you don't have OI File Manager too.
Um, or use search button on phone and search for right app or what ever, search button on phone is pretty useful if you brick your rom. :]

Is my screen too bright, or am I just too ASIAN?!

someone posted to use the search button, well, i used the search button to get me to 4shared.com and downloaded launcher pro. when it was done downloading i pulled down the notification thingy and pressed the download complete icon. it then installed launcher pro and everything is fine. thank u guys for all your help, and i hope this info helps someone else out.
Well,I have fastest method than this
Which I used when I do the same thing
Stock rom have default LG home which u deleted that,s why blackscreen comes

Hi Christian. Should I install the attached LG Home only if I have installed recovery mode? I still have access to cell phone's mass storage. Can I install it from there even if I haven't installed recovery mode?

Yes you can extract the zip on sd card and you have to put the app in system/app and set the right permissions. You need root for this and a file manager that read internal storage like Es file explorer.

**I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone. This as any other mod is done at your own risk. This is just a guidline on how to get a real fix for blocking mode on your VZW Jelly Bean device.**
This blocking mode fix has been confirmed on both the VZW Note 2 and the VZW Galaxy S3
*You need to be rooted.*
IF YOUR ON A NON-VZW BASED ROM:
JUST FOLLOW PART 3!! (and part 4 if you like!)
IF YOUR ON A VZW BASED ROM:
Part 1
There are two apks that are the reason for blocking mode not working. The two files are the secContacts.apk and the secPhone.apk. You will need download these two apks from a other carriers rom and replace them in the system/app folder in root explorer (or your choice system file explorer) and change the permissions.. (For example download a flashable "att" note 2 rom and copy the secContacts.apk and the secPhone.apk and paste them into your system/app folder. Restart then change the permissions then restart again. Same thing with the Galaxy s3 only you have to download files from another carrier galaxy s3 Rom. From this point on blocking mode will work 100 percent.
Part 2
Now that you have blocking mode working, how can you access it. You can get a shortcut maker app and have a blocking mode home screen icon... OR..You can have it in the settings menu like it's supposed to be! Now just like before there is an apk that VZW had changed to block this. It is the secSettings.apk. So from the same rom you downloaded from before copy the sec.Settings.apk from the other carrier Rom and paste it in your system/app folder in root explorer. At this point you may or may not get a chance to restart your phone (it might freeze for a sec and restart by itself. Once phone restarts change the permissions and restart again. **NOTE: Some roms settings mave have more or less options then the stock. To access these just also copy and paste the secSettingsProvider.apk and everything will work perfectly** **NOTE: menu appearance will not change yet!**
Part 3
Last step. Now that you have the new menu there are still two more files that are causing the menu to change. In root explorer navigate to /efs/imei and delete the map_code.dat and then go to /system/Csc and delete the sales_code.dat. Now restart your phone and you are good to go. **NOTE: after deleting these files any VZW apps on your phone or in market will not be recognized on your phone. For example if you try to download a VZW app from the market it will say your device is not recognized. But they have 'market unlocker' apps that can trick the market to see you as any carrier you want. Also VZW Apps like backup assistant might not work properly.
Part 4
This is not really related to blocking mode but I though I might throw it in here as a bonus. If you copy the feature.xml from another carrier (ex is use the ATT one) and paste it in you /system/csc (I'm my opinion) makes your VZW phone better.The stock email app for example will never try to connect to the VZW server again. It will just go straight to the email app. It also seems to make your phone more responsive and work better with certain samsung apps. (Ex: the samsung apps.apk connects better with samsung push service.* Like I said just a little something extra I noticed.*
ENJOY!
EDIT: If anyone is having trouble with part 2 and the secsettings.apk or any other file, try using files from this rom:
EDIT: You may need to wipe first.

Which rom are you on. Are you sure you used the correct files? The secphone.apk and seccontacts.apk? I would try again and make sure you used the clean rom files. Also check the blocking mode settings allowed contacts list and make sure you have that setup right. If it says none, no calls will go through.
EDIT: Replace the files in the system/app folder with the ones from clean rom and change the permissions and restart. Then clear cache and restart again.

i really appreciate your helping with this.still didn't work. i'll play around a bit more and see if i can figure out where i'm going wrong.
what is the ds store file?
There is a missing step somewhere for the note 2, I stumbled onto it guide a few days ago in the S3 forum and couldn't get it working 100%
I'm on an at&t ROM with the correct files and modded the files needed, can get blocking mode activated but it only worked about 50% of the time....even switched back to beans ROM and followed necessary steps again and that way only worked about 25% of the time.
Not sure what the extra step its gonna be but I have been working on it for a few days...

Yea. I don't know how mine works perfectly all of the time but a lot of people are saying they're having trouble. I'm not sure what the deal is. The two roms I tested it on were both clean rom for a vzw note 2. And i tried on a vzw sgs3 on an executioner rom. All three times it worked flawlessly for me.
the phone and mms files in cleanrom are from the verizon rom so thats why thats not working

Note: This root method works on other LG Phones, but this thread is to focus only on the LS660/F60. Thanks.
Also I'll add some of my findings for the LG Tribute that might of got lost in the other thread while we wait for questions.
Agreed.
Sent From This RIDICULOUS LG TRIBUTE
I'll Add Some Of My Findings Here As Well...
Camera sounds annoy me and I couldn't find any tweak, app, or anything to disable them on the LG's Camera, so I figured it out myself. I have wrote a guide and included a .zip with the files you need to switch.
- How to disable your LG Camera Sounds -
Found by high247 of XDA-Developers for the Virgin Mobile LG Tribute LG660.
-# 01. You are going to need to be ROOTED on your phone and have a Root Explorer. I personally use Root Browser from the Play Store.
And you'll need the .ogg files from this .zip file.
I've you are not ROOTED please check Unjustified Dev's guide here on how to do so.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
-# 02. First move the .ogg files from this .zip to your phones SDcard.
cam_snap_0.ogg
camera_click.ogg
camstart.ogg
camstop.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
(I've included backups of all the orginal .ogg's in Backup-ogg in the .zip. Just delete the .bak off the end and they are the orginal files in case you want to switch back.)
-# 03. Ok now on to disableing the sounds on your phones Camera (For whatever reasons you might what to do so. For me, they just annoy me)
Open your Root Explorer and go to your SDcard and multi-copy the .ogg's you put there.
Now navigate to System folder, click that,
now locate the Media folder, click that,
now locate the Audio folder, click that,
now locate the UI folder, click that, then once inside the UI folder click PASTE to copy the files there. It might be useful to delete the old ones before hand.
-# 04. Almost done, now you have to change the to .ogg file permissions to 0644 rw-r--r--
(If your not good with permissions, when you select permissions just make sure Read is checked in every box and Write is only checked on Owner, everything else unchecked.)
-# 05. ALL DONE. No need to reboot or anything, just go to your Camera and see that the annoying sounds are gone.
ENJOY!

We need more detailed information to help, how did you get stuck for one?
I got the update for my Tribute and like a idiot I tried to install it but it just keeps booting into TWRP, I wiped the phone and than I restored a backup from my SD card that I had but it still reboots to TWRP, the backup installed successfully but it just keeps booting to TWRP, any ideas how to fix this? The backup has the TWRP recovery and root. I also tied the new rom and it still boots to TWRP.
What to Change that ugly color on your default LG Messaging App?
You need to install Xposed Framework on your rooted LS660/F60
1. Here is the Xposed Framework installer you need for G3 Tweakbox to work: http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk
2. Now download G3 Tweakbox from the Play Store and install it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...weaksbox&hl=en
3. Open Xposed Framework installer make sure the Xposed Framework is installed up to date and and then make sure you check the module for G3 Tweakbox and reboot your device before anything will work.
4. Now open G3 Tweakbox app, go to Messaging, scroll all the way to the bottom and you can change the color.
5. After you make changes Reboot your phone for them to take full effect. My messaging app now is Black.
And in this post I show what else I found that worked with G3 Tweakbox on the LS660, even some pictures : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59451127&postcount=766
NOTE: Not all tweak work. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

You were on ZV4 right? I believe you have to flash the boot.img for ZV4 from TWRP and that will fix it. You might have to flash from fastboot though I forget, its almost 3am here and its been a long day.
Extract the boot.img from this .zip and try that.
Ok so for whatever reason I just could not get the damn OTA updates to stop re-downloading, even after doing what cpshelley2 said to do. My problem was update.zip kept re-downloading to /cache/ and then the notification would pop up to install. I ran the adb command cpshelley2 suggested and turned OTA off, made sure the update.zip was deleted, long pressed the notification clicked app info went to manager cleared all.
And it would just keep downloading over and over again, giving me the notification to install over and over again, so what I found was apps named Disable Service and Autorun Manager on the play store, they are free and for root, that fixed this for me.
DisableSevice Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice&hl=en
AutorunManager Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun&hl=en
**WARNING DO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE CHECKING AND UNCHECKING IN THESE PROGRAMS YOU COULD MESS SOMETHING UP!***
Open the Disable Services app, click where it says System near the top, then scroll down to Google Play services, click it, now scroll down almost all the way near the bottom and find SystemUpdateService then uncheck it will turn red.
Now open Autorun Manager and select Advance Mode, then in the top right click Settings, make sure Show System Entries and Enable System App Disable are both Checked, now find Google Play Services, click it to see a list of receivers, scroll down til you find com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver and com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver and com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$SecertCodeReceiver ,then un-check them.
Now your done.
Reboot phone and update.zip will stop downloading in /cache/ (**delete it one last time if it is there still**) and you will stop being notified about the ZV5 update.
Hope that helps someone else too. Any questions feel free to ask and remember I'm on the LG LS660 Virgin Mobile.

It is being tested by people and worked on by awesome @Unjustified Dev at this time. It is not being rushed and worked on to perfection. Make sure if you can donate to that man for his hard work and dedication!

You were on ZV4 right? I believe you have to flash the boot.img for ZV4 from TWRP and that will fix it. You might have to flash from fastboot though I forget, its almost 3am here and its been a long day.
Extract the boot.img from this .zip and try that.

I flashed it via TWRP and it did not work.
I installed the Google dialler after flashing the Google Dialler Support (Framework) (.zip), made it the default dialler (with all permissions) and disabled the stock Dialler through recovery but whenever I make or receive a call, both dialler's {incallui}s show simultaneously, sometime the stock in front and sometimes the Google one and both their notifications also showing. I wanted to disable the stock incallui but can't find it in the priv-app directory(in recovery). Does anyone know how to disable the stock incallui? Any help would be much appreciated...thanks!!

If you're using TWRP, you'll have to mount system to access system files. The option to do this is in the main screen of TWRP: Mount>System. Then you can go to Advanced>File Manager and access system files.

I haven't tried the back up and restore feature and I don't want to as I've got a 64 gig SD formatted as internal and I'm not sure if all my data will be retrievable if I tried formatting and restoring from the back-up.
Okay now can anyone help me with my problem, please!

I'm not looking for the dialler, I've already disabled that...I want to disable the stock incallui (the screen which appears when placing or receiving a call). Also, I don't remember the actual name but the dialler is not named phone.apk. Generally, the incallui is simply placed in an app called incallui.apk but weirdly, this phone doesn't have it making it really frustrating to deal with 2 call screens simultaneously.
After root on during start screen a horrible red warning show in my device did you know how to remove...??

This is not because of root. This is due to unlocked bootloader which, I'm guessing, triggers the developer mode for the device. This doesn't affect the functionality of the device so you don't have to worry!
Turns out, the incallui is bundled up with all of the telephony frameworks or whatever and deleting this makes the phone not detect the SIM and lose connectivity. If someone with some knowledge of code and how sh*t works could look at the apk and just remove the incallui part, I'd buy them a beer or two. I've posted the link to it below. Thanks!
