S6 edge stock messages app - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I've accidentally deleted my stock messages app through Titanium backup (just wrong key press) and I'm trying to locate which is the correct apk so as to put it back in system path (priv-app I guess??) but I can't find it...
I have almost everything in backup files so I just need the name of the apk and system path location...
Can someone help?
Thanks a lot

Anyone?

Sorry ... only now saw your message.
From a friends upload it should be
/system/priv-app/SecMms_Delight_Note_Open/SecMms_Delight_Note_Open.apk
I will check when at home with an already downloaded S6 ROM.
I'm sure it's inside priv-app and it must start with "SecMMS*"
I own a S5 so ATM is all I got.
Nice regards.

I was sure it was that from what I ve found over xda and web but the strange thing is that I have this folder in my system/priv-app/Sec-mms-delight-open (no sec-mms-delight-note-open) but it doesn't show up in my apps...I even deleted it and restore it back by setting correct permissions of course and reboots between but nothing succeded...I don't know what else to try...every proposal accepted

If you were initially messing up with Titanium, it may be Freezed there and, therefore, no showing.
Please check.
Nice regards.

I ve deleted it accidentally through titanium but apk is still there in the system/priv-app...what more can try?
Can you please delete this file from your system and then put it back to see if this is the correct one.and your stock sms app will reappear?

What I've suggested ... go back to Titanium and check if the Message App is or is not Freezed.
As long as deleting you may have freezed it and this will prevent it from showing up.

I do not need to experiment. I know it will show up correctly.

Did you set permission to rw-r--r-- (644) ?

Yes that is exactly what my titanium says but it doesn't appear in the app drawer...I just mean that it s the only app that I set permissions after copy, reboot and it doesn't appear...I just wanted to make sure this is the correct app...now with your photo and help I.m sure...I ll try some more stuff...titanium for now is stuck on restoring when I try restore for this app...of course result stays the same when I do it manually...I ll try a flash file tomorrow...

I suggest 2 options:
1) Copy using file manager
1.a) Install Total Commander
1.b) With TC, extract from your ROM zip the SecMMSxxx.apk file to sdcard
1.c) With TC, check if there is one /system/priv-app/SecMMSxxx/SecMMSxxx.apk there ... if so, delete it.
1.d) With TC, copy SecMMSxxx.apk you extracted to /system/priv-app/SecMMSxxx/SecMMSxxx.apk
1.e) With TC, call Properties of the APK and set permissions accordingly
1.f) Reboot
2) Flash using Recovery.
2.a) Extract SecMMSxxx.apk from your ROM
2.b) Upload it somewhere
2.c) Gimme the link and I will cook a flashable ZIP that will overwrite and set permissions
2.d) Be xtremely happy
Nice regards.

it wont just install like that..
Ive uploaded an empty update file.. just place ur BlurGallery.apk file (you got from previous user) inside the /system/app folder and use CWM Recovery to install it.. should be fine..
ignore the arctic motorola home launcher message whilst its installing via CWM.. iv always just used it as a template package lol
well hope it helps!
just do a backup incase u run into a problem.. although cant see why you should run into 1.. but better safe than sorry
Edit - maybe another way would be using something like rootexplorer and replacing the file located in /system/app with the one you got and fixing permission.. just a lil unsure if theres anything extra required here.. hence the reason why ive stated above method. anyhu good luck.. let me know how it goes!!
thanks. but how do i install using cwm?
just figure out what u mean.. will try it.. tq very much!
Edit: tried and failed.. nothibg happened after flashed it. I m sure i ve insert the apk to the update file
generally all u had to do with previous package is
1) insert the .apk file in system/app folder
2) install via CWM
3) fix permissions
should have worked but if not the case then il be more than happy just to put a package together for you. on GSM but im sure gallery really doesnt differ much. just let me know if ya need it pal..
Yup after installed it i have changed the permission in the apk in app/data ..
After reboot, it seems nothing change
What should i do?
I meant fix permissions in CWM.. also shud be system/app. just attach gallery here n il send package.. then u can fix permissions and should b fine after!

1) place zip on sdcard
2) reboot in cwm
3) go to cwm main menu, advanced > wipe dalvik cache (upto u)
4) go back to main menu > install zip > choose zip > then pick zip file (ignore the message about home launcher whilst it is installing.. just using zip as template basically)
5) go to main menu > advanced > fix permissions
6) reboot (if you wipe dalvik cache will take a little while longer to reboot) and you should be good to go!!
P.s - just do backup to avoid anything going wrong! also put in alternative one which is with the gallery i use.. dunno if it matters that im using GSM or not though. just uploaded incase u have no luck with the first 1.
best of luck pal!!!
ya this is what i done previously. i have tried it all over again exactly with ur guide, but it still never ne installed =(
i think i m going to give up n wait for the ICS from moto and i will et back my gallery there
really thanks for ur help very very much!

Paste the .apk file
Long press the app you just pasted and choose "Permissions"
Change every permission until it looks like the pic I posted.
Reboot - Your gallery is back

[Q] Internet Browser apk help please.

Situation:
-I have a rooted device Samsung Galaxy Ace [GT-S5830L] Android 2.3.4
-I accidentally deleted with Titanium Backup my default browser [Internet 1.0 (1)]
-Therefore I installed Dolphin which is not that bad.
Problems:
-Now wherever I try to watch any youtube video I'm just able to see the loading circle without loading the video.
-I can't use the default browser.
-I lost the voice app to type.
I've tried without good results:
-Use my friends phone [exact same one I have] did a back up with Titanium Back up, copy the backup to my phone and tried to restore.
-I downloaded several [internet.apk] [browser.apk] for my phone and tried to install with Optimize toolbox and from manage applications.

So for the file to be accepted by the phone you need to change the file so it has system access. That feature is built in on most root file explorers

I just tried that and still not working, about the person who recomended Dolphin, that a fare option however there must be something between the browser apk and the youtubr apk cause im not able to load youtube videos...
I've consider getting a ROM but I need a functional ROM and I see a lot of them w/bugs on the camera, wifi, gps, ect... Is there any stable ROM that works over networkbands 900/1800?
Why not re-install your current rom (if you are happy with that) from sammobile via odin perhaps?

If you still have the zip file from your rom, you can copy the original files from it to your phone.
It should be in /system/app (copy both browser.apk and browser.odex). Make sure you put all the correct permissions (mine has all permisions for reading and owner permissions for writing).
Can I get that system internet apk file I also have same problem

[MOD]Translucent Lockscreen/Navbar/Statusbar[4.4]

well here you guys go.....title kinda says it all. this enabled the translucent navbar/lockscreen/statusbar on google's android 4.4 ota...just push the framework-res.apk to /system/framework/ and you should be set..tested on my nexus 10
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291677144
Just installed it and seems to work great, although its lagging a bit now (don't know if more so than before).
Thanks very much!
Ugh, I cannot seem to get this working. I've tried pushing it through adb while in recovery (I get no root access while it's on) but when I boot the framework-res.apk is not the one i pushed (file size doesn't match) and I also do not get transparent bars. I tried using ES File Explorer to push it, but then the whole tablet refused to boot afterwards and I had to restore nandroid. How did you push it?
Maybe i am dumb, but i get an access denied error when i attempt to push this to system/framework/. I tried moving it manually through root explorer and i got stuck in a wicked boot loop. do i somehow need to give my adb commands su privileges?
So anyone who did this can you explain how? With adb? Or root explorer?

It works great with Nova launcher. You could copy your old framework-res.apk before doing this so you can easily revert back. Honestly you wont want to if you are using nova launcher.

I just went into twrp mounted system, then did adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
wiped dalvik and cache fixed permissions and rebooted should work fine, i tried to do dual pane for settings but that didn't work out
Oh, mounting system was a good idea
What's the performance like?
Doesnt work for me :\ I replaced framework file using Root Explorer. No effect. I updated kitekat using fastboot maybe thats the problem?
Hi, I tried to do what you say but will not let me change the permissions of framework-res.apk file that I downloaded. I use root-explorer but it can't change the file to rw-r-r Have a zip to flash? Can I see a picture to see how it change?
Thx
You need copy this file to /system then U will able to change the permission.

You have to obtain root and then you can copy the app from /data/app/ to /system/app or /system/priv-app. Then it will be on the system partition and survive a factory reset.

I have the same worries, I will try to obtain root and see if it works.

So If I want to do this with truecaller for examle I have to move all the files and folders to /system/app or /system/priv-app ? what about the app permissions , I dont want the app to ask for any permission , or send verification code
... etc
Is there any other place that's saves app setting and permission

Yep. Typically it's just a folder with an apk inside it. Sometimes it will have an OAT folder as well, but not often. However I'm not familiar with that particular app.
As for the permissions, you'd have to decompile the said app and edit the manifest and resign it. This isn't hard, but can be tricky if you're not familiar with all of the tools involved in the process. There shouldn't really be a need to do this, though. The app needs certain permissions to run properly, most likely.

I don't understand your point , why should I edit the AndroidManifest.xml file of the app , I want the the app to be given all the permission it needs silently ( Without asking the user if he wants to allow this permission or not ) , an example of the that is the google play app ( the store ) , it comes as default with all android devices and of course needs permissions but never asked for it .
this how the tutecaller folder looks like

I'm sure it's possible, but I'm not sure how to do it.
