Lost my dailer - Blade General

Hi,
I'm using Jellyfish's 2.2 build3 ROM on my blade. I deleted an app called smartdailer.apk and now i have lost the ability to actually type in and dial phone numbers.
I am presuming the default dialer is still there as i can call my contacts (the default dialer is bundled with the contacts app) but i do not have a link to it nor any icon I can click on to access it.
Does anyone know how to restore the froyo 2.2 default dailer?
I'm using ADW launcher and want to place an icon on my home screen

SmartDialer.apk is the default dialler app from ZTE. You can use adb to push this file back after extracting a copy from the ROM zip, or (if you've not changed other bits of the /system directory) you could just flash the ROM again without wiping your data.

Hmm well i reinstalled it so no worries there, but this isn't the dialier i had when i first flashed my phone (different froyo rom)
I'm sure that was the default android one it offered easy access to contacts via tabs at the top of the screen.
I tried posting an image but i'm not allowed as i have less than 8 posts.

As far as I can see, Live Wallpapers are not going to work until someone bakes a custom rom. The Live wallpaper picker just force closes on selection. So, unless I failed at installing the live wallpapers and the picker...

What launcher are you using? Did you try ADW or Launcher Pro? did you also load livewallpapers.apk?
I loaded livewallpapers.apk and the livewallapaerspicker.apk
I tried with Sense and sweeterhome
But I think I need to load the .SO files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837
But I have to find a different SD card because I can't get into recovery mode with my 8gb sd card.
(I left my 2gb at home)
ADW gave me the same problem.
I was able to adb remount since I pushed your clean update
But now I am getting "out of memory" when I try to push the SO files.
So I guess I will have to do the push in restore mode.

Let me know if you can figure out a way to get it running in Sense. I still haven't gotten my Aria (due to show up on Monday), but the lack of wallpapers is the one thing I was disappointed with.
Well I have live wallpapers working on my aria right now in alternate launchers like adw and launcher pro.
Pulled the files from a custom rom that adds live wallpapers for legend then rebuilt them into a rom I'm working on stripped of at&t crap. Did not replace the rosie apk since at this time tha just crashed htc.launcher.
This is a fun little phone.

Hey Bob, did you find a way to fix the non-market apps toggle in settings? I am working on a modified spare parts type deal to do that now, but if you already have a fix, I am all ears. Funny, AT&T didn't like the name Liberty. How fitting that they chose not to use it.
we really should open an IRC channel
The real question is there a way to do Live Wallpapers & Sense at the same time.
I know I am being picky, but I want my tech the way I want my tech.

There is a way since the rom i stole the stuff from was for the legend and Sense its just the version of sense that was in the rom is not compatible with our rom.
I havent even started looking into the Sense APK file yet but figure with live wallpapers working correctly i just got to figure out how to disable normal wallpapers in sense to make them work.

I havent worked at all on the market toggle, i figure since we can sideload the settings.db file and it works its very low on my care list. All i worked on today was stripping out what i didnt like and trying to make a nice clean rom that had all the default files i wanted in it (google voice, pandora, etc..). Just happened to also play with the live wallpapers and found it worked on the way home when i tried a new launcher.

If you make a zipfile of the livewallpaper files and post them, I'd appreciate it.

Yeah all the files are on my work machine so I will do that in a bit later. Will put it into a zip able to be recovered into an existing rooted aria so anyone can add them.

Update file for adding LWP to Aria
6/28/10 - Updated to allow LWP in the Sense UI
* This assumes you have your phone rooted and have access to the Clockwork Mod to allow updating your phone with unsigned zip files *
1.) Put the file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod
4.) install zip from sdcard (option 5)
5.) choose zip from sdcard (option 2)
6.) Click on the file you downloaded and put on your sdcard
6a.) If you run into an error when installing shut off your phone,, unplug it from the USB cable, then reboot it back into Clockwork Mod and start again from step 2
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system
8.) Upon reboot you can now choose Live Wallpaper in the wallpaper options
*Issues*
The only issue that I know of at this time is you have to use the settings/personalize/lock screen wallpaper option in order to change the lockscreen wallpaper
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.
*Files*
Clean install of the LWP packages
Select this if you want to install the LWP on a clean install or install without any LWP
Update install of the LWP packages
Select this if you used the previous version with LauncherPro and Home Switcher. This will remove those packages and update to the Sense Enabled LWP.
Thanks! I just flashed it and it works great. There's Absolutely no loss with performance with it either.

* if this file downloads under a different name just rename it to aria-lwp.zip, first time using Mediafire *
Ok lets see if this works =)
1.) Put the aria-lwp.zip file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod using the rooting methods in the how to root your aria thread
3.) Go to the Partitions Menu and select the first option (mount /system)
4.) Go back to the main menu and choose to install a zip file
5.) Choose the option to install a zip from the SD Card
6.) Click on the aria-lwp.zip file
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system.
8.) Upon reboot the home menu should pop up asking you to choose which home menu to launch. Choose the LauncherPro option.
9.) Go into the wallpaper options and choose your live wallpaper, it should work with no issues.
10.) Set up your new launcher, refer to any Launcher Pro threads for more info on this nice replacement launcher.
At anytime you can use the home switcher program to go back to the HTC Sense launcher if you want to use that instead. Same with setting up which launcher is used by default when you press the home button.
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.

Any chance we'll ever get this working in Sense?
Well, that didn't work.
I am still getting force quit
I might needs to do a clean flash.
Ok, I got stock to run, but I also want to get rid of the lockscreen and make it default as well. Any ideas?
Ok, reflashed with the clean install and it worked.

Assistance Needed With Custom Theme

Hello,
Quick inquiry with regards to a minor complication when attempting to flash a custom theme to a Sony Xperia X10.
The device has been rooted successfully and is currently running Wolfbreaks CM 6.1.3 v053.
I have attempted to flash a custom theme titled "Galaxy S for CyanogenMod 6.1.1 Stable". Everything functions perfectly thus far. Other then the fact that upon reboot an error messages specifies that Gmail has ceased unexpectedly.
The exact message displayed is quoted as "The application Gmail (process com.google.android.gm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Although this message displays consistently upon each attempt to restart the program. Also automatically once the device initializes from a reboot or shutdown. The theme was flashed via xrecovery as custom zip. As per instructions "cmparts_ui.xml" was transferred to /sdcard/CMTheme and selected from the Tweaks menu.
(Thread referenced: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876600)
This problem did not occur originally when CM 6.1.3 was flashed. Would resolution be a matter of reflashing Cyanogenmod? or as simple as updating the application itself within the market? I can not locate any original files to flash back to the provided theme packaged with the most recent 6.1.3 mod and I can only surmise that doing so would resolve this issue.
Final note would be the process one would take to uninstall such custom themes. I've noticed deleting the .xml file from the sd card does remove it from the tweaks menu. However does this procedure ensure deletion of all associated files? Or is there a proper method to ensure complete removal is successfully accomplished?
Any feedback with respect to this particular theme including whether or not it would be necessarily recommended is much appreciated. This wouldn't be my first flash/root/modification or customization of a device. However this is my first Xperia X10. So I do want to make sure I am being as accurate as possible to avoid any future complications.
Thanks for everyones time and attention.
*Although on the plus side I'm able to transfer my contacts from a SIM card directly to the device with this current version of firmware. Such feature was greyed out in the menu initially
the theme probably has a custom gmail apk in it. which is either broken or incompatible with 6.1.3.
try opening wb's 6.1.3 with 7zip and pull the gmail.apk from that rom. copy it to your sd card, then use root explorer to copy it to /system/app. give it the correct permissions and reboot. problem should be fixed.
hello
thanks for your reply. your instructions sounded quite logical and i assumed id have no complications. i copied the app as per your instructions. overwrote the existing entry when prompted. however upon reboot gmail has been removed off the home screen.
attempting a manual install either within the system/app directory or through the sd card returns an unable to install error message.
ive gone ahead and downloaded the gmail app from the market. which thankfully does install. it is functioning and installs successfully to the device.
presumably anyone experiencing this same issue should download the app from the market very strange occurrence indeed.
my only other issue currently is the GPS functionality. switching on the gps displays no indicator within the toolbar. location based services seem not to pick up a location what so ever.
im hopeful this isnt a result of flashing this particular theme. any suggestions?
If you have flashed a framework etc for that theme (using xrec) it won't reverse if you delete that xml file in the sd card.
If you want to go back to original make a copy of that theme xrec and replace its apks with the apks from the ROMs xrec zip. Then flash it.
And if you want to use the theme and also the gmail apk look and feel (theme). Try replacing original gmail apks .png images, which are in drawable-hdpi etc. folders, with the themes gmail apk images.

after you copied to /system/app, did you change permissions?
the theme may not have a status_gps.png icon or, it's the same color as your status bar.
the app never requested a permission change. upon trying to start originally would just return error.
this was resolved by downloading directly from the market. my only issue now is what to do with the gps connectivity? as it does not seem to be returning a location. the only other thing ive noticed is the default camera app does not zoom.
im trying to assess whether any of this is a result of having changed the theme to the galaxy s cm 6.1 mentioned in the initial post, and how to go about fixing these issues to avoid having to flash back to the original cm6 stock theme.
** GPS has been fixed and is fully functional. Single issue remains with regards to camera not zooming what so ever. Although now attempting an upgrade to CM7. Thanks everyone

[Q] Cant install stock email apk

Hi everybody.
Im customizing my Note 3 N9005 rooted with the latest firmware I7.
I made a mistake using ROM Toolbox Pro and i stopped the service Exchange. That made my email application not function so i lost both services.
I made a backup of both before i touch anything but when i try to reinstall them with the same ROM Toolbox Pro, the program says it cant do it. Also with Roote Explorer into that application (very usefull with lots of options).
I also made a copy of all the APK into my Exsdcard and put the two APK with and without the ODEX files and nothing. In security i disable the setting that will allow to install them but nothing works. I even restart the phone with various settings and nothing changes.
So weird that original stocks APK cant be installed back.
Their name are SecEmail_Japk and SecExchange.apk. I reasure that i have both safely backed up but i cant install them again.
I tried K-9 but im acustom to this email apk. I also read something about flashing them but i dont even know how to do that (and make it worst).
Any help with this??
Thank you

[Guide] SMS/MMS on sdcard/Synced on MultiRom

This guide will show you how to move your SMS and MMS database to your sdcard. This is useful when using multirom to keep your messages in sync while switching roms, and will also eliminate the need for third party apps to back up messages when clean flashing.
This should work to sync all stock/AOSP based ROMs, or all CM based ROMs. It will not sync stock/AOSP roms with CM roms due to differences in the database structure. It should keep any message apps in sync, as they all get their info from the same database.
I will be using Root Explorer for this guide, but i assume any full feature file explorer will do the trick.
How to make it happen:
1) Navigate a tab to: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony
This tab will be called "Tab 1" for the rest of the guide
There should be 3 folders, if you haven't sent or received an MMS there may only be 2.
1a)If there is only 2, create a new folder and name it: app_parts
2)Navigate another tab to your sdcard and create a folder to store your messages in. You can name it anthing you wish, I use "SMS".
Open your newly created folder. This tab will be called "Tab 2" for the rest of the guide.
3) In Tab 1. Select and copy the folder "app_parts". Switch to Tab 2 and paste the "app_parts" folder
4) In Tab 1. Open the "databases" folder. Select and copy "mmssms.db" and "mmssms.db-journal". Switch to Tab 2 and paste "mmssms.db" and "mmssms.db-journal"
5) In Tab 2. Long press "mmssms.db-journal" and select "Link to this file" (it is the last option on the list)
5a) In Tab 1. Select and delete "mmssms.db-journal" Then click "Create link" (it is the bottom left button)
6) In Tab 2. Long press "mmssms.db" and select "Link to this file"
6a) In Tab 1. Select and delete "mmssms.db" Then click "Create link"
7) In Tab 1. Go back to parent folder. Which will put you back at: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony
7a) In Tab 2. Long press "app_parts" and select "Link to this file"
7b) In Tab 1. Select and delete the folder "app_parts" Then click "Create link"
8) Reboot and enjoy!
Once you have done all of this the first time you will only need to follow steps 5-8 when flashing a new ROM.
If it works and you like it, give a thanks or leave feedback.
Usefull!!! Will try this between a stock and an cm rom (if i ever find the time).

Let me know if that works, it never would on LP for me. The databases appeared to be the same but, would always cause repeated force closes. The databases seemed to be the same from a quick look but clearly they were different.
I just tried. Installed a new ROM. Didn't work
But would be GREAT to get this working.
Does this look right?

Looks to be correct. What roms are you running?
If you are on stock, or a custom rom that doesn't come with it, be sure to install busybox.

Yeah, unfortunately that is not going to work. As I said in the op I never tried it on MM, but on LP you couldn't sync CM with stock/AOSP. Seems it still holds true on MM, but will take a look into it a bit further and see if I can come up with anything.
If you were to do the same on a CM based rom it should sync with CM13. Or you could get chroma and pure nexus to sync.
You can delete the links in the telephony folder and the files will recreate themselves.

I'm going to keep playing with it but I did try to go back and reestablish the links between chroma and pure Nexus. The weird thing that I noticed was that there were text messages recreated in messenger which is the native pure Nexus text messaging app but the text messages were not present in textra which is the app that I use for text messaging
None of your texts showed up in textra, but they did in messenger? I installed textra and it worked fine for me, not sure what could be going on for you

If your mmssms.db is from a CM based rom it will not work in Pure Nexus. I have PN as my primary and that is what I first came up with this solution for. I use the stock messaging app but have tried multiple apps and all the ones I have tried pick up messages normally.
That being said, I imagine their could be some mishaps with apps that were already installed and were populated with messages and then had their database switched with one that contains older messages. I can't confirm that as I've never had the problem, just a suspicion. If it is indeed the case, wiping data for that app would probably get it working right
What rom did your mmssms.db come from originally? And what roms does it work with and what roms doesn't it work with?
I found another folder, /data/data/com.android.messaging with a couple databases that seemed to mess up names. I changed the extention to .backup
Anyone know where the message are on the Android n preview 3? I'm not seeing them in the same folder as marshmallow

Think I deleted android calendar system app by accident - help!

Running out of internal storage for apps on my ZTE Blade MiniQ running android 4 .2 .2 I rooted it using Kingroot and then used Titanium backup to delete bloat ware.
BUT I selected something by accident but thought I'd managed not to delete it - now I think I must have! :crying:
I use google calendar sync'd with business calendar on my phone - it shows no calendars available.
I've installed the google calendar app - but it says my calendars can't be displayed cos calendar storage has been disabled - there is link to enable in setting - app info flashes up and then settings stops working.
I've tried deleting and reinstalling accounts, even a factory reset - nothing is working.
Have seen an old post about this but the link to 4share is no longer working
Has someone got a ink to the right file - and can tell me how to get it back on my phone I'd be extremely grateful
(I did delete lots of stuff like google play newstand - but think that should be ok - and no I didn't back up - cos I am an idiot! -or rather was only planning on getting rid of bloat ware)
The calendar is the one of the main things I use on my phone ....
1.download stock rom for Q mini from official ZTE site
2.extract this from ur stock rom:
-CalendarImporter.apk
-CalendarImporter.odex
-CalendarProvider.apk
-CalendarProvider.odex
3.copy/paste it in system/app and change permissions to rw r r
4.reboot
