Ha ha ha!
Yeah I know have a good laugh...
So I managed to wipe out my system app lol (I'm laughing myself!).
It is the settings app (cog icon).
Anyway, can anyone help out here please?
I am running the Revolution Rom 2.5, not sure if that makes a difference or not.
Cheers,

System app?
Flashing a firmware should bring them back again, won't it?

Yeah I have backups, but thing is I made a lot of adjustments to the phone since my last back up, it took some time, and she is set up really nice now.
*Edit - I just thought, If I am flashing the same rom again in CWM I shouldn't have to wipe, so everything would still be as I set it up - correct?
*Edit edit - Nope! The revolution rom is a full wipe rom
*Edit edit edit SORTED THANKS ANYWAY - Found the revrom on phone as it is downloaded via rev kitchen app, wified it to the pc, extracted it, transferred the settings apk and odex to phone, root explorer copy and paste to system/apps, BACK!! Didn't even have to reboot lol. Happy bunny now
Cheers all anyway.
Backing up now LOL

Hi!
I could not find an App which saves and restores WifiSettings so I tried and wrote my first Java Application... :-D
This is currently Root-only and tested on an HTC Desire (Rooted Stock-Froyo), so please, to be on the safe side, do a nandroid-Backup before you test this on your device (!!!). The backup should not damage anything, it basically copies your wpa_supplicant.conf to your sd-card, but I experienced problems when restoring the settings _before_ enabling the Wifi Connection for the first time after a full wipe (probably something with file permissions, I'm working on that).
Instructions
- Install apk as usual
- Press "Backup" to save your wpa_supplicant.conf on your SD-Card
(for testing - delete some wireles networks you can restore manually, for example your home network)
- Press "Restore" to restore your wpa_supplicant.conf in place
The app disables your Wifi before and reanables it after the restore process.
I suggest, because this is not yet tested well, you do a nandroid backup and don't blame me if you didn't and after restore your wifi won't start anymore...
I hope this is of use to someone...

v0.2:
- (hopefully) fixed the "Could not find Wifi-Config"-Error
Android 2.2 backs them up automatically under your gmail settings. This is a great app for people under 2.2 and for others who don't let Google store their backups. Good luck. Will be following this thread.

I actually didn't know that google does that. But could you tell me how you can restore them after a factory reset? I couldn't find any option for that and did not notice my wireless configurations to magically reappear :-/

Been looking for an app that does this for ages. Its a nightmare to keep inputting wifi access codes after a wipe and new rom install.
Cheers
EDIT - Tried it but it does not work. Says cannot find wifi config file. Never mind!
This is on a desire running Modaco R8 Rom.
Wifi config file is located /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
@beady_uk: Could you try the new version I uploaded to the first post? That would be nice... :-D
- REMEMBER, because this is pretty alpha, to do a nandroid-backup before restoring, it could be that your wifi cannot be enabled if something goes wrong :-/

Remember to switch Wifi on before restoring on a fresh ROM!
Im having a problem with my mytouch 4G. I rooted my phone the other day and all was going well, then I decided to delete some of the factory apps that I dont ever use. well.. Im guessing I deleted an app or apk. file that I needed, because now I cant change themes, when I click on "themes" it just gives me this error "Unable to find an activity to handle this action" I was thinking it might have to do with the "my modes.apk" but im a noobie at all of this so im really not to sure and im looking for help from the big dawgs.. lol... Here are some steps I have already tried taking. I tried restoring it by doing a system reset, well after doing so I realized I didnt do a backup ugh!! So.. I found the factory rom and tried flashing it so that it would install the apps. or apk. files that im missing... I thought that would be the easiest solution, just to start fresh. When I started I re-downloaded the terminal emulator so I that I could flash the factory rom, but now it wont give me "su" permissions it says "permission denied" again nothing! and noticed I didnt have the Superuser permission app. so I downloaded it off the market thinking maybe it would help but its just black like its not detecting anything. why? that this point I tried dropping the rom zip into the root and booting in reboot mode, I noticed it said wrong img. and didnt do nothing. Am doing something wrong? Other then this my phone works like a champ. Thats why I am asking if anybody can send me the "My Modes apk. file from there my touch 4G. PLZ!!! HELP!!! if you know what the heck is wrong.....these are the apk. files I deleted.

Yes, the my modes app controls your themes in stock rom so you need it if you want to switch themes.
If you flashed the TMOUS rom to fix the missing apps problem, you unfortunately unrooted your phone. That's why superuser app isn't responding. There is a nandroid of a stock install which would have been better to use as it wouldn't have undone root. That's too late, it sounds. You need to re-root after flashing TMOUS rom. All should be ok after that.

no.. I was still rooted after I deleted but I have fixed my problem. I was being dumb and wasnt installing the right superuser app. lol, so after doing so I got super user permissions and just flashed the phone back to the factory rom. thanks for the suggestion anyway.
Does anyone have the task manager apk for stock ECO5? I kind of accidentally uninstalled it with Titanium.
I don't know if I need the odex with it to get it back on my phone. It if so, including that too would be awesome.
Thanks!

If your rooted and on a deodexed ROM you wont need the odex file,I cant remeber if that gets removed with Titanium...

I would get it for you if I was at the house,I could probably do it from my phone since I have it in use on the phone,but Im at work; You could just DL any EC05 ROM and pull it,then use which ever method you want to install it...
Sent from my MyFrankenstein EC05OCE using XDAPA...
I appreciate the sentiment. I attempted to get an EC05 zip but the downloads errored out. I'll try again at the coffee shop once they open since their connection is MUCH faster than mine. I figured it didn't hurt to ask for just the file I need in the meantime.

Cool, I wasn't sure that was it because of the name 'job manager' but it had the right icon. Glad it was what you wanted. You can shoot kennyglass a thanks, he's the one that opened my eyes to uploading files from the phone.
Will do.
I wasn't even sure what it was called. I had to install it to confirm. Hah.
Thanks again!
Huh, I thought it wasn't possible to remove the stock task manager without causing problems?
The reason why that and sprint hotspot are on every "bare" rom.
The only problem I noticed was it force closing then spazzing until it rebooted. That only happened when I'd try to open it though. If I never used the task manager all was fine.
BUT
I habitually kill stuff off like I'm OCD so I couldn't avoid it.
I am currently running powerwashed gb v 2.0 beta3. It has the stock version of swype (or close to it...) and i hate it. I have disabled it, used antTek file explorer to delete swype.apk in root/sys/app and also the swypecore in root/sys/lib and ALSO the swype folder in data/data. swype is still on my phone. I am confused! My superuser has granted anttek permission and blah blah, but the files will not delete no matter what i try to do. i just want to update to the newest beta version of swype since the stock one is horrible. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would have posted this in Dev section, but too few posts on my account and it has denied me...
here are my specs
Current Device: Samsung Fascinate
Current ROM: PWGB EH09 ROM v2.0b3
Current Radio: EC09
Current Kernel: Stock EH09 Kernel
Thank you to anyone who can help! And a BIG Thank You to the devs who put this rom together. So far it is the best I have ever used (and i've tried them all...i think... lol) anyway thanks again!
EDIT: Before doing any of this, naturally, i kill the running swype process and delete the swype installer...
Dont post this type of thing in Dev. Section...this has nothing to do with development.
i figured as much. maybe q+a would be better?
btw, do you have any advice for my swype issue?
I used Titanium Backup to remove swype 2. Worked ok for me. Was able to install swype 3 beta after that
Are you giving the program R/W ability within the folder?
Make sure you pick something like Android Keyboard before you try and uninstall.

thank you sir! I actually deleted the anttek file explorer...cuz its no good... paid for root expl. and did just what you said and now i have the excellent swype beta working on my phone! thank you again!
if you think removing swype was a pain...
I replaced the bootanimation.zip in /system/media...and change the name of original bootanimation.zip & still it played original and the new zip had no affect on boot up at all.
I placed a new bootanimation.zip in /data/local and still same result.
I changed the permissions using Terminal Emulator and also tried the same with a file manager to no avail.
I even deleted the original bootanimation zip and also the one I was trying to install and the phone still booted up as if nothing was ever changed. I eventually bumped something on the screen while changing hands when file snooping and maybe deleted something so I reflashed the PWGB rom again and started over.
I have issues with the USB settings magically being set to "Samsung KIES" [almost]everytime I plug it into my PC, even though I set to MASS Storage or ALWAYS ASK before hand.
any fix on that would be appreciated..
OH BY THE WAY, I LOVE THIS PWGB ROM, I REALLY DO!!!!
***********as of 10/21/11 I give up on trying to change the bootanimation... I have spent too long on that project for nothing.
Hey all. I have a Droid X that has been running with Launcher Pro Plus for the past few months.
I rooted my phone the other day and everything was going fine. I downloaded Titanium Backup, ShootMe, and then Metamorph.
I've been checking out droidpirate.com and downloaded a few different notification bar color schemes, which were working fine. Today I downloaded another and decided I wanted to change it, so I switched to a new one through Metamorph, applied it, and rebooted my phone. Upon restart it was still the same color as before, so I applied again and before I could restart it gave me an error message that the status/notification bar (not sure which it said at the time) had crashed.
I restarted it, and ever since then I've had no notification bar. I've tried reapplying the color schemes in Metamorph and restarting after, but nothing has changed.
I've gone to the Launcher Pro settings and toggled on and off the "hide notification bar" setting which hasn't changed anything. I've restored my backup in Titanium Backup and it is still the same. I'm not sure what else to do at this point.
What do you all suggest? It really sucks to not see my battery meter, time, etc. when I open my phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't know if this is best practice, but I would just re-sbf / reinstall rom.

Does that mean flashing the Droid X rom? I am new to all of this, so I'm sorry if these are stupid questions. And what guide would you recommend for going about doing this? Thanks!
Download RSD Lite and flash an SBF. There's a sticky telling you how to do this I'll subscribe to this thread in case you have any questions.
Great, thanks for the info! I'll give this a try tomorrow.
Wait!
Before you do that...
(Which is good advice, and would be my second choice...but you'll be without all of your applications and settings. This will put you on complete stock!)
http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/4.5.602/
Download the file that this theme was changing.
(system/framework/framework-res.apk I think?)
Download "Root Explorer" from the market...or a free alternative if you can get one to work.
I think "ES file explorer" works, but I've never tried it.
Check the "permissions" on the file you'll be replacing...and change the new file to have the same permissions (prior to moving, just to be safe).
Move and replace the new file into place.
If your phone didn't reboot during that process...
Double check the permissions again...
And reboot.
I knew it was only a matter of time, and that's a good resolve. Thanks for the alternative!

I'm not seeing that file on the website you mentioned. If I ctrl+f framework, all I see is a GoogleServicesFramework.apk file. Would it perhaps be the StatusWidget.apk from that list that I am looking for?
Status widget doesn't sound right, but I have never had to recover my notifications bar before.

Sorry man, at work...and can't check...but this should have it.
Or if you've purchased Rom Toolbox or Rom Manager...they have some .zips you can download via your phone and extract with your PC.
Ahh this is all confusing me. I can't find the framework-res.apk on that site either. Would it work to just hard reset my phone then download an app restore app? Then re-root it and restore everything to how it used to be with Titanium?
The framework-res.apk was an attempt to fix your phone without wiping your apps and all that fun stuff. A hard reset wouldn't fix the problem because the file, in theory, is still corrupted or not working. I would sbf your phone. It looks creepy but it's just resetting back to stock.

Go down to SBF: What is it, and what does it do?!?
If the files are offline because of the SOPAA thing, let me know.
Alright, looks like that's what I'm gonna try. Thanks to both of you for all the help, it is greatly appreciated . Before I go through with it I was just wondering, if I backup all my apps to my SD card with "App Backup and Restore" then reinstall the app after the backup, I'm guessing it should be able to reinstall my apps from the SD afterwards? (I wouldn't use Titanium to restore because I'm assuming that would restore my phone with the flawed system data I have now)
The apps themselves wont be flawed. The phone runs off a whole bunch of apk's. Just the apk that controls the notification bar was messed up. You should be fine with backing up your apps regardless of method. Use what program you're comfortable with.

Agreed...
But to reiterate...
Titanium won't bork you in any way.
Simply use the option>batch>restore USER apps option and you'll be %100 back to where you were...aside from having to change your settings back to where you had them...
Also...
Facebook and any "Overclocking" applications seem to behave badly when restored.
Not in a negative way...
But I always uninstall them after a restore and install manually through the market...
Facebook won't receive push notifications if you don't.
And Overclock apps simply may not work.
Everything else (game data...whatever) will be exactly as you had it.
Check my sig if you need...
And use the sections about backing up and restoring your data.
Ignore the actual rom flashing part...as it's irrelevant in your situation.
There is also another SBF link in there if the one Fluffy posted is dead.
So I downloaded the latest RSD lite with no problems, but whenever I try to download the "Droid X 4.5.602 SBF Gingerbread 2.3.3" file, it leads me to http://www.multiupload.com/57SX6Q5HJI which lists the file as 602.sbf.zip but downloads as a program called "iLivid", which is a video downloading program.
Any suggestions?
Different Mirror?

Figures, thanks a bunch. I tried the download links from two different forums and both led to that same program download, but it looks like I've got the right one downloading now. Thanks again for all the help, I'm going to try the whole restoration process this weekend when I have more time. I'll let you know how it goes.
