Hi,
I tried to restore using Titanium Backup a previous version of Music App thinking I would be able to retrieve my deleted playlist, Since then I have lost my Music App completely.
I try to restore the latest backup using TB but the phone restarts (due to S-ON I suppose).
How can I restore it? The app is there in the System/app folder. I also tried creating a Flashable Zip and flashing it. But it didn't help.
Thanks.

I already did a stock restore but anyways please share your method to fix this!
Was going to suggest that Someone pulls Either the applicable ICS or JB (or from the system dump in Dev section) music App from their Desire X and then place it on the Sdcard in a place youd remember.
Then boot into recovery and make sure you Mount System, then flash aroma file manager. Copy the Music.apk (or whatever was removed) and past it into system/App (or wherever it should be)
Then reboot and you should be happy as Larry beacuse youre problem is now sorted

Thanks for your input btw!

Hi, I'm a new root user, and I was trying to get LiveWallpapers to work on my rooted Droid Eris. I flashed the .zip file and the package apparently came with the Nexus Lockscreen also. I later discovered that LiveWallpapers just won't work on a Sense ROM, but I'd like to revert back to the Sense Lockscreen if possible. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

did you do a nandroid backup before flashing the .zip file? this is a must must must lol if you didnt the easiest way is to boot to recovery wipe data and dalvik and reflash and and make sure to do a backup. and what sense ROM are you using that doesnt support lwp

You can also pull HtcLockScreen.apk out of your rom's zip file and push it to /system/app/
Will this just revert back to original factory settings?
Oh, I guess i used the Stock Android 2.1 w/ Root Access.
Perhaps I should just load different ROM.
I found the HtcLockScreen.apk in the zip file, and threw it on my SD card, but i'm not sure what to do now. I tried using eoeAppInstaller but it said Install not successful. Not sure I quite understand what you mean by pushing the file to /system/app/

no need to put it on your sd card its useless there if im correct and if anyone more professional than me can verify you need to use command promt to run the adb app in your android sdk file and if thats the case search the threads for adb to answer your question
try here there are several that are based on sense and will let u set livewallpaper and have the slide lock that you seek just read up on them
... I shouldn't have.
I was fooling around with my HTC Screen lock apk using Titanium Backup. I "backed up" the application, and then uninstalled thinking I could just restore it. Now Titanium won't restore it, and I'm stuck with the Vanilla screen lock. I know it will cause problems with my HTC alarm app... so I'm trying to restore the HTC screen lock, but can't seem to do it.
I've downloaded what appear to be the APK and ODEX files, but when I place them in the system/app folder and reboot, they don't seem to get recognized...
Any advice?

I tried using the Titanium Backup I had made, no go.
Tried placing it in system/app with Root Explorer, no go.
Tried several permissions combinations (I believe you just need user R/W), no go.
Finally it dawned on me to just to a nand restore (my last backup was a month old), but I just chose to restore system, and it's back just fine.
Thanks for the help, though.
Your welcome.wish I could've been more help,I always forget about the advanced restore options.

You probably could've just flashed the same rom again over top

Hi all!
I have a HTC Desire and lately I've been switching a lot between the a Beta ICS ROM and a stable GB ROM (MildWild). Every time I switch I make a backup in Clockwork Recovery, which works fine.
However, I now have about 6 backups and no easy way to tell which one is ICS and which one is the GB one, the only way I can do this is to connect my Phone to my PC and look at the filesizes of the different partitions.
I want to be able to give all backups a name, so I don't have to connect my phone to my computer to tell them apart. However if I change the name of a folder, backup won't be succesful. (MD5 sum will not be correct or something)
Anyone an idea?

You can use rom manager when making your backups. It let's you rename them before it starts.

I use Rom Manager as well and i can confirm. it is the best to customize your backup (the name at least)
same here - i use rom manager and it can name your backups - go for it ...
If when you connect your phone to your PC you can just rename the backups to whatever you want
Or you can make a simple txt file where you put the date+the contents of the backup.

I tried that but when I would restore the backup it wouldn't work.

You can only remove them in recovery via adb shell rm /system/app/*.apk
And if you're on stock ROM, also remove it's odex adb shell rm /system/app/*.odex
Or you can use the script made by Maarten here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36278172&postcount=30
extract the updater-script, edit the filename for the apk that you need to remove and put in back in the zip, and flash that in recovery.
Tried root uninstaller but no luck either. It came back after reboot :/

No app can uninstall app on DX except the way I described above.
There is some sort of protection HTC imposed on DX that you cannot use an app like TB, Root Uninstaller & etc; they won't work.
Note: before you remove anything, make sure you make a nandroid of your stock ROM before that as once an OTA is out, you need a clean stock ROM to update successfully.

But my rom are now rooted its too late to make a nand backup now..
Anyway, nand backup is on cwm recovery right?

If you never remove anything from the system partition, it is never too late.
(I believe you not yet able to remove anything )
And yes, make a nandroid backup with CWM.

What I meant is its too late for me to backup a clean stock unrooted rom.
Sorry can't edit my post above since I'm new user although I'm not new to xda I'd just created a new account.
Anyway I wish there was a simple way to remove the odex on the bloatware I want to uninstalled. On link2sd, the app mentioned above are marked with ODEX (green).
Guess you were right, can't move an an app with an odex on it though I don't know what odex is.
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app
I understood that. What I meant is it is ok to make backup with a rooted stock ROM.
To update an OTA, you don't need to remove your root app or any installed app as long as all system files are intact. You don't even need to relock your bootloader. What you need is a stock recovery.
You can read more on this topic on the link in my sig. Even though that is for One V, it works the same principal for DX.
You can remove system apps from recovery using app called Aroma File Manager, made by Amarullz, you have the link in my Index.

Totally forgot about this nice recovery explorer/file manager
As I always use a PC base explorer/file manager to add/remove files to/from system partition.

ckpv5 is right. You can not delete files simply from Data or System folders.
You have to do that in recovery mode. If you try to delete files from any File explorer, your phone will simply restart.
Though we have rooted our phone, however it is not 100% rooted. HTC made S-ON on all of those device so that people can not do any changes on systems.
Play with your phone with complete nand backup.

Actually we do have 100% root, S-Off differs a lot from root. And there are multiple ways of deleting the apps. You can make a flashable zip file yourself if you know how to, you can use aroma file manager (mount system before using it), adb, or any other recovery file manager, if it exists

Probably someone should make a tutorial how to delete system apps here using aroma file manager?
Would be really useful.

Yup understand. I am sorry I wanted to say he can not do it thru any file browser when the phone is running. It will simply reboot.
Need to try Aroma File manager. Deleting with flashable.zip is really a pain not so simple.

Yeah! One moderator told me! I won't do like that from now onwards!
I have the t-mobile 626s variant. Ive rooted and still have a bunch of process and apps I dont want. I dont have a computer at the moment becuase its being fixed. Is there a list of apps safe to remove? Thank You
You have to install an insecure kernel. You can find a lot of custom kernel in these forum, choose one of them
I want to remove all the bloatware from my HTC DX (rooted and TWRP installed). I used Titanium Backup but as S-ON is there you get the same stuff back after rebooting, I read here somewhere that you can remove those bloatware from Recovery.
Now I am in the TWRP menu, I mounted all the partitions, Went to the Apps folder and found all the bloatwares I need to remove. Since it is odexed, I was wondering if it is safe to remove them?
Do I need to remove the APK as well as .odex file? Will it reappear after reboot?
I have a nandroid backup, Will it be able to restore all the files if I mess up and restore from nandroid? Wondering since S-ON is enabled.
Thanks!

Yes you need to remove both the apk+odex file for it to be permanently removed.
Add: if you only delete the apk file, it will come back after reboot. So make sure to delete both apk and odex file of the app you want to permanently removed

By permanently you mean even after reboots right? Also will the nandroid restore bring them back?
