LG G2 restore stock keyguard - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I tried to speed up my lg g2 and removed the keyguard because the app keyguard process needed a lot of RAM. Now the phone is super fast again, but I can't use the mobile network any more (data, calls, no sim unlock on reboot any more) and I can not access the data on the device from my pc any more.
So how can I restore either the functionality or the keyguard? I can not find a stock apk to install it via adb.
Resetting the phone to stock is not an option as I don't have the time to install all my modifications again and I don't have a backup (I know that was stupid)
Thank you guys in advance for your help!

Does wifi still work? If so, download a compatible rom on the phone and use a root enabled file manager to extract and replace the apk. Make sure to set the correct permissions and reboot. Permissions = 0644.

[Request] Stock Galaxy S III SamsungCamera.apk and .odex

Hi guys!
Could someone upload the original SamsungCamera.apk, please? Because when I'm tried to install HX Camera mod, i put the two files into a zip, when the Root Browser crashed. The two files were gone, and the zip became corrupt. After this, i put the mod to system\app. On the first run, it worked, but after a while it crashed. I run the camera again and it crashed after a time, again, and again. So I decided to try the video. And now it doesn't even want to start. So that's why i request the stock camera, and please upload as soon as possible. Thanks.

So, I downloaded this app and I've moved it to /system/app folder and I've tried to install it and it simply says "not installed". I've been searching the net for days now. I've done the following.
1. Root access for Apps and ADB
2. I deleted the CN 9 mod camera app in the /system/app folder (Is there something else that I need to delete?)
3. Installed Busy Box, Astro, ES File Explorer and Easy Installer
4. I successfully installed other stock apps such as S Voice.
I've found similar questions on the net, but no answer. Please help me out!
Set permissions to read write execute / read /read usint root explorer.
Reboot in recovery , wipe cache and dalvik.
Reboot.
That should do the trick

Thanks but no dice. I narrowed it down to few possible reasons, all of which I would need help with.
1. Even though, my options say that I'm rooted for "Apps and ADB", I don't think I'm "Fully rooted" as Android Commander still says "no root".
2. I don't have the right drivers. I was told that the "service drivers" are different than the normal USB drivers I get when I plug in my phone and maybe that's why Android Commander might not fully recognize my phone.
3. Permissions. I keep reading about read/write permissions, but maybe the options that I'm looking at is not the same "R/W" in question. I don't know.
4. Everything is correct and I just don't know what I'm doing
So, I realized that the app is a "read only" apk and it wont let me change it's permission in Root Explorer. Is there a way that I can change it? Or does anyone have another SG3 camera apk?
So, after extensive research, it has been reported that particular app doesn't work on custom roms.

U can change it actually in root explorer. At the top right there's R/O, click it so it'll be R/W.. from there u can change its permission. I know this is pretty obvious, but this may help u out. cheers!

Vertu Ti theme

Is there any chance we could get the icons and the clock widget of the Vertu Ti?
That is, if anyone is willing to shell out 5K on a phone just for the sole purpose of extracting .apks from it.
If you guys tell me how I can extract the apks.

If u have a Ti(obviously),then first i think u need to get it Rooted (sometimes stock recovery does it too)in order to extract a widget that came preinstalled,then after u root it,use root explorer to go to system/app and then look out for the widget.apk's ..
Similarly,for the icons,look for the app in system/app(using root explorer, and then copy the .apk to ur sd card,put the file on ur desktop,rename it as a zip file,extract it .
Then go to the folder called res,then drawable-hdpi and all icons will be there in .png format.
But all this is useless if u havent got it rooted,because I think u wouldn't risk to lose warranty on such a phone..
Hope this helps

It helps, though there's no root solution as of now. I don't know where to start for the root, technical support won't help. Neither will the internet. There's already a topic on XDA but no solutions.
I think you don't need root for this.
Enable USB debugging, install phone drivers to your computer, then do adb pull /system/ path-to-dump-folder.
interesting...

I've yet to find appropriate drivers to connect to ADB. Whatever I do the phone also connects the MTP at the same time even if PTP is chosen. Any help would be much appreciated as I'd also like to backup the device via ADB. With the latest updates the phone is now running 4.2.2.
If I am not wrong, Root explorer does work on non-rooted phone.
you can access the /system partition for copying stuffs. (as you can understand without root it will only work in 'read only' mode).
Hi,
I was able to root my Ti using farmaroot just google it fairly simple method. You can also unroot to with this tool which is a plus. But I would like to know how do I access its recovery? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Somebody own Vertu here?
You can extract system apps quick and easy, without root, without any risk using this tool: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ext.ui&hl=en

[MOD] Verizon G3 HotspotMod Fully Working (Not the G2 Apk)

PLEASE READ
This mod ONLY applies to UNLIMITED USERS who DO NOT have tethering on their plan
This mod DOES NOT apply to SHARE EVERYTHING plans
I took a peak over at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/g3-hotspot-hack-t2812305 and saw that there were issues with using the G2 apk. I decided to take a looksy at it and see if I can replicate the functionality of the G2 apk with out having to re-apply settings to turn on tethering.
I have always had issues using root explores and database explorers messing up permissions and causing boot loops so until I have a proper recovery I use the android terminal emulator. Many people here have had plenty of success using file explores so give it a shot if you like!
Skip down to the bottom for a video walkthrough created by { owenbeals aka DroidModderX}
First things first you will need root!
0.) Start a root shell
Code:
su
1.) mount the system partition for read and write access
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
2.) Rename stock files HotspotProvision.apk and HotspotProvision.odex to something memorable. I use .bak and .bakdex
Code:
cd /system/app
mv HotspotProvision.apk HotspotProvision.bak
mv HotspotProvision.odex HotspotProvision.bakdex
3.) Now copy over the new file, can be the root of the extSD card which is /storage/external_SD/HotspotProvisionVzG3.apk
Code:
cp /storage/external_SD/HotspotProvisionVzG3.apk .
4.) The last thing is to change permissions to 644 (RW- R-- R-- for you file browsy types )
Code:
chmod 644 HotspotProvisionVzG3Mod.apk
5.) Now reboot and enjoy your glitch free hotspot action!
You must reboot! Do not try to "install" it, it does not function like that.
N.B.
Some users have noted that their cpu governors change to Performance while the hotspot is on and change back to On Demand when off instead of normal Interactive. This is the stock behaviour of the kernel, and not a bug introduced by this mod.
Thanks to { owenbeals aka DroidModderX} for this handy video walkthrough.

You have change something every time you use it.
The modded apk works perfectly. I used root explorer to do it though. I renamed the original files, copied your apk to system/app, renamed it to HotSpotProvision.apk, fixed the permissions and rebooted.

Pretty cool. I'll have to give this a try when I'm bored later on today at work. Could you explain what you actually did to the hotspot apk though?
One thing though - why not just append ".bak" to the end of the existing filename/extension? That way, you don't lose the original extension so you can't forget what it was. It works fine. That's what I always do. In other words, your files would end in ".apk.bak" and ".odex.bak". The system only sees the extension after the final period.

How do you launch tethering after moving, renaming, and re-permissioning the apk? I've tried to launch from Settings app but nothing happens.
The downloaded apk he modded is named differently from the original one in the system/app folder. After I changed the names for the original files in system/app. I changed the name of the modded apk to match the original apk in system/app. I copied the renamed modded apk to system/app, set the permissions correctly, then rebooted. I went into Settings then More... under wireless networks,Mobile HotSpot and changed the SSID and password. I can turn it on via settings or the quick setting in the notification bar.

I'd guess for it to work from stock menus (i.e. without starting the apk directly from a file browser app or terminal emulator) you'd have to rename it the same as the stock apk so that the path is the same for the various apps that would call it.

So I have renamed it exactly as the original apk was and rebooted but still no go. On reboot I get a force close of VZWAWSService. I have some of the system bloat frozen, maybe this has something to do with it.

Did you reboot?
There should be no reason to rename the apk. When android installs applications it goes into the /data... Dir as the package name. All intents are handled via package names therefore the apk name is inconsequential.
To use you should be able to go settings > more and see all the tethering options.
To verify placement and permissions use
Code:
su
ll /system/app/Hotspot*
You should see your two backup files and the new HotspotProvisionVzG3Mod.all
Permissions should be rw-r--r--
Let me know if you still have issues.
I will post a DIY response so that people who want to learn about the modification can play along at home. Think of it as source code for this mod:good:

Thanks for the detailed response, I got it working now. I had previously frozen some of the bloat on the phone when I got it and one of the apps I froze was the lgemobilehotspotui.apk which is needed to work correctly. Thanks for all the help from the awesome devs here.
Nice work, thanks. I just installed it with Root Explorer, and it worked perfectly. Just have to do it to the wife's phone, now.
Well done. Working great!
Thanks! Works perfect. And now I can use the toggle on the drop down menu to activate the hotspot. Thanks so much.
Worked
Worked perfectly for me. Used ES file explorer to move the files around.
I have downloaded, changed permissions, changed the file names to .bak but when I try to install the nodded split says application not installed. I'm using root explorer. I did have the othe mod installed and deleted it first. Wondering if that is the problem
Edit...Stopped trying to install and just rebooted and it turns on just fine, and my laptop connects...the app shows it connected and listed as an approved device...yet I'm not able to actually get a a connection.
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks! Works like a champ.
works great!
I'm also getting the VZWARSService has stopped message, and when I go into settings and turn on the hotspot, nothing happens. If I go into mobile hotspot and turn it on from there, I get this message: Unfortunately, com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui has stopped. Followed the directions exactly, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Works perfectly. I used Root Explorer to rename and move everything. Thanks!
Worked like a charm the only thing is still changes the cpu governor to performance the g2 one did it to I don't know if someone is able to fix that
It's just when I turn on the hotspot afterwards I use android tuner and change it back to interactive
Does anyone else have this issue

[Q] Bad build.prop edit

Hi guys, before I start I'll say that I have searched all over the internet and here on the forums and I couldn't find my particular issue. Well the thing is that I edited the line in my build.prop "ro.build.version.codename=REL" to "ro.build.version.codename=L" so I could get the material design on the Google Now Launcher pulled from a Android L build here's the thread I got that app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-android-lollipop-apps-launcher-apps-t2912905
I did that and now my device will boot up normally then I will reboot by itself then show the boot animation then repeat the same process again and again until I force the phone to recovery or fastboot.
By the way my device is the LG Optimus G (E970) running GEE 3 ROM 1.2 and TRWP 2.6.3.0 and I have a backup of the original build.prop on my PC. I don't want to lose my data and apps since I forgot to make a backup (silly me).
I would like to know if there is a way to push the build.prop file on my PC to my phone so I could just replace it, or create a flashable zip.
Please help me, and thanks in advance.
Nevermind. I managed to push the original build.prop file to /system set the correct permissions and now my phone is working again.
Admin feel free to delete or close this thread.

You can go for manual setup ,
1. Extract the zip file, you will get HwCallrecord, HwParent, HwIntelligent under system/app
and PackageInnstaller, HwMediacenter, HpPlugin under system/priv-app.
2. Copy these files in corresponding directory by using any root explorer under root/system/app and root/ystem/priv-app.
3. If you want package installer with autorun and backgroung run facility, you have to delete the GooglePackageInstaller under /root/system/priv-app/GooglePackageInstaller.
4.Give permission to the apk files as well as folders, How? go through screenshots.
5. Reboot, Enjoy
Any queries, you can ask....
Remember to give permission to every folders and files you place or replace...

Welcome buddy...
Hi, I've got problem with HwParent and HwIntelligent, how install them if they are not installed in the original ROM...because I can't install them normally...package corrupt it says me....
you cannot install them normally, they have to be placed in the system partition and changing the permission as i have already given the screenshots...
Thank you
Hey,
thank you for explaining the manual way - that helped me a lot and also fixed a second problem i have had.
The problem was, that after the update my FM Radio was gone.
I found the app here but i cant push files by ADB as root. So i just installed doing the same way:
i copied the apk to an own folder to /system/app/ , set permissions, rebbooted and it worked perfect.
all your apps are working too.
Except the parental controll - i didnt install it because nothing planned yet... ^^

OK sorry, it was badly asked... I did it as you explained and I succeed to install them but I can't find where to activate them... Now, I find the parent control in the advanced settings with the "student app" with the last post and it works but where I can find or activate the "intelligent" smart assistance app ? And about the package installer, I pasted it in the priv-app file but what happens now ?

After you paste the package installer and gave permission , you have to delete( or cut to make a copy of ) google package installer,,, it will be activated when you remove google package installer folder in the same directory

Link dead need mirror for the same
.
does anybody have the apps from the link?
can someone reupload it?
