One of the main drawbacks of 5.1.1 update on Yureka was that the stock dialer had been replaced by Truecaller dialer. I, for one, liked the original dialer a lot. It had dynamic speed dial tiles which changed according to how much you called, which is probably one of the best features. Also, there's privacy issues associated with Truecaller dialer, if you're into that sort of thing.
To change the dialer, we'll simply replace the phone UI components with blisspop components. Blisspop has stock Android dialer.
Also, this is my first guide, so if mods think this is not in appropriate section, please move it to proper section.
Prerequisites:
1. You should have Yureka [duh]. I don't know if this works on Yureka+. Maybe someone can test & tell me so that I can update this guide.
2. You should have write access to the root partition of your phone.
What is root partition you ask? Yureka has Internal memory [Sdcard0], External memory card [Sdcard1] & a third partition, root partition[/].
You can access this partition using any reputed file manager such as ES file Explorer, Solid Explorer, Root Explorer etc.
However ES, Solid etc. had problem writing files in my phone. I therefore went with Root Explorer which works flawlessly.
From hereon, I'll consider you are using Root Explorer. However using any other file manger will be similar.
The only caveat in using Root Explorer is that writing permission requires root access.
Steps:
1. Open Root Explorer. Tap "Mount R/W". Grant it the superuser permission when it asks. This puts the Root explorer in Write mode for root partition & we can now write or over-write files which we want.
2. Download the zip file from here & extract it somewhere on you phone.
3. In root partition [the one with symbol "/"], go to system-->app and replace or overwrite the InCallUINext folder with the folder which you have downloaded from the zip file. Make sure you have backed up the original folder which was previously present i.e copy it somewhere on phone memory just in case.
4. Then go to system-->priv-app and replace or overwrite the DialerNext folder with the folder from the zip. Again make sure you've backed it up.
5. That's it. Reboot the phone & you have the stock dialer.

Hi everybody.
I'm come from Vietnam, where the Facebook is now banned.
We need someone to write a program to update the host file in /system/etc/ by just a touch.
Please copy the IP from http://armabloggin.com/2009/07/facebook-dns-block-fix/
to the host file (like AdFree program).
We cannot edit this file by Astro because it read-only. We don't know how to S-OFF our Android.
Thank you so much.
I thought that AdFree is for rooted phones only.
Here's the host file
I've modified the host file for you but I don't think you can get much further until you root your phone, giving yourself access to system/etc/ where the "hosts" file is for replacement.
Remove the .txt extension and replace it with your hosts file in /system/etc/ after rooting.
If your phone cannot be rooted at http://unrevoked.com/ have a look on the sub forum here for your phone.
As previously stated, changing any system file is impossible without root.
Why can't you use a one-click-rooting program? There are plenty around that work for quite a lot of phones. If that doesn't work there will be device specific guides available, unless it's a phone that can't be rooted (is there any?).
Sorry, I've already root the HTC Desire by Unrevoked.com and have RA-recovery.
I mean that I don't have S-OFF in my device.
I also used Astro to copy the host file to SD Card and edited it. But I cannot replace the host file to system/etc/.
So I need you help write a mini-soft like AdFree.
Have you tried using adb to push the hosts file (in recovery) or root explorer? No need to S-OFF.
I think a soft will easy to use for everyone, don't need experiment in adb, root or s-off.
Anyone developer can make it easy?

I think the problem is that you didn't mounted the system partition. Try ES FileExplorer, it can work as root and can mount partitions

Hi,I am vietnamese too,if you can't root your phone you can follow the full instruction on tinhte.vn forum.
I whipped this up for you.
It doesn't look great but it does the job. Put the 'hosts' file on your sdcard (not in any folder) that you want to move and rename it 'hosts.txt'. Then run the app and press the button. You'll probably need to reboot afterwards.
Enjoy.
This doesn't back up the hosts file on your phone so you may want to do that manually.
[YOU NEED ROOT ACCESS]
Thank you so much.

Dear Meltus,
Firstly, I thank you very much to write this apk for me. You're so kind.
But it's maybe something wrong!
I install your apk, put the hosts.txt in SDCard (in the root, not in any folder).
Then run the app and press the button, reboot afterwards.
I used Astro to view the hosts file. But this file is error. It has 0 byte and can be read.
Please fix it. Thank you so much, again.
P/S: Maybe you make an options to chose folder of hosts file.
Further, you can develop this apk to change any file of system by chose the source and destiny paths.
I am following the instructions as per the below thread to allow my Acer a500 see my Nokia N900 for tethering purposes.

I have copied the wpa_supplicant file over the one thats already there.
Now when I open the Terminal Emulator to try ADB remount it comes with an error saying device not found.
I have the wifi turned off, I also have Root Explorer, but I found File Manager HD quite handy.
Now after trying the instructions I now dont have wifi - it comes with an error.
I have tried copying the stock wpa_supplicant file across, with no success.
Can someone please help.
to get AD-Hoc working you first need root and either root explorer (paid app but worth the money) or es file explorer (free but you have to enable root privaleges inside the app. its under the settings menu)
1. navigate to system/bin and copy wpa_supplicant
2. past this to your sd card as a backup
3. rename wpa_supplicant to wpa_supplicant.old
4. extract the file from the download and past it into the system/bin folder. (should be wpa_supplicant)
4. Long press on the file once copied
6. select Permissions and set to User: RWE, Group & Others:RE only
This is the easiest way to fix this... make sure in root explorer you set to rw at the top left in order to rename copy or past into this directory..
Good luck
this is the file .
View attachment wpa_supplicant.zip
Thanks for that, your a genius.
Now that my device can see my phone, I cannot see any web pages.
Is there something else I need to do?
That is very odd .. try rebooting the phone and the tablet..
also try on the tablet
go to settings / applications.. go to the web browser.. and clear cache and data..
is only thing i can think of ..
never had a issue other then my cell sometimes get hung on a cell tower and a reboot fixes this.. .
try connecting another wifi device to the phone to determine if its the tablet or phone..
I ended up changing the program I use to tether on my N900 and now works a treat.
Once again, thanks for your help
Thanks erica_renee . Worked right on point !

Erica_renee, you are awsome!
I followed your instructions and BAM worked first time.
Thanks
You are Very welcome..
But i do want to point out They are not my instructions..Its been so very long ago i dont remember who to give the credit to.. I think someone from the Zoom Forum..
I just remembers how to do it and do not mind sharing what i have learned with anyone...
So i guess i should say thanks to everyone who is actually a developer or close.. for all the hard work they have done to make my tablet enjoyable to use..

I downloaded es file explorer and enabled root exploring as well as "Mount File System" (which is supposed to make the system writable) and with or without the mount file system, I cannot find the System file nor bin. I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Wifi Only. It's running Honeycomb 3.2. Any suggestions?
Not my credit
This fix is not from me.. I just re posted something that has been around since our tablet was released.. I would say give that person the credit. I am not sure who actually did it .. I think that file originally came from the ZOOM FORUM.
Anyway Just wanted to make sure that was POINTED OUT.I only know from what i have read for my own personal use.
Thanks All ... Erica Renee

Can anyone help me with this?
check you su. update the su root binaries . make sure busybox is installed and updated..
you can check the last two with root checker . a app on the market..
There iss also somewhere in the settings. that show a mount point . .something like /mnt/sdcard.
this should be just a / in there to have access to the system folder. I dont have es file explorer installed as i did not like it.. but i do remember having to change this defalt mount or folder option.. Astro file manager and some others also have this defalt . You can also keep going back and will take you there ..
Even though Titanium Backup says I have BusyBox, another app I tried to install said I did not and needed to install, so I went to the market to install and BusyBox says I need to perform Nand Unlock before installing BusyBox. Can you point me in the direction for doing that. I have the Galaxy Tab 8.9 Wifi Only. I see alot of stuff out there but not sure if it's right for my tab or if the instructions are universal to android users. How did you do Nand Unlock?
This is for those who wanted to have this function in their beast and yet no Note 5 rom is availble for their device , well smile..here you go
:good:Try at your own risk. I wont go in detail like step by step or what root explorer to use. You will have to figure it out. Im not trying to be mean but you will have to learn it =P
Your device must be rooted.
Download any rom that is made for Note 5 , custom or stock (make sure you ask for permission from the creator) , extract the folder "system/app/applicationspermissions"
and copy the folder (doesnt matter if is odex or deodexed) then paste it to your system/app/ and set the permission to the copied folder and the apk itself.
Then add the code below into your others.xml in you csc folder.
Code:
<!-- Smart Manager -->
<CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigDashboard>dual_dashboard</CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigDashboard>
<CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>true </CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>
<CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigSubFeatures>roguepopup|autoclean|autorestart</CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigSubFeatures>
Save , reboot and voila.
Bug
Nofitications - Block app notifications will FC.
Application Permissions - Sort by permission , will take some times to load the apps.
And it works , it does block what it offered.
Feel free to use
Thank you but nowhere i could got this foleder

Now i know this is a common-ish issue with some variants as to the actual problem, i should know i've been trying to fix this for the last 48 hours but have eventually had to ask.
I made a TWRP Backup that when I look in the TWRP File Browser i know is stored in /sdcard/TWRP which i think is the same as storage/emulated/0/TWRP which is where i see an empty TWRP folder in both ES File Explorer, File Manager HD and Root Explorer. I've searched and this is the only TWRP folder on the device that is found and i've turned on 'Root Explorer' yet the folder is always empty, in fact ES File Explorer see's it but actually won't let me go into it like the other 2.
I've seen various things about such as Terminal Emulator commands but i can't get this to work, i just want to be able to move the backup to my PC and be done with it (until i have to worry about putting it back)
Can anyone help with how i can get this to work?
Actually finally just solved this. It seems if you connect the phone to your computer while in TWRP, i can see the contents of the TWRP folder. I'm pretty sure i tried this earlier, so maybe all the messing around i've tried since also contributed, but its solved finally.
If You can see TWRP through ES Explorer then Follow Given Steps :-
1. Open ES Explorer and Click on the three lines ( Left side on the top )
2. Now Click on Tools ( it opens many Option )
3. Now You can See Root Explorer Option in it , On it.
4. Now You can copy paste it.
After rooting with Magisk, users of Moto G6 are faced with the “Stock Rom does not exist” error at the Restore Images step of Magisk’s OTA Upgrade Guide. However, the following suggestion was made in the discussion following issue #1870 on Magisk’s git-page:
The backups should be kept in /data (/data/stock_boot_<hash>.img.gz)
You could probably edit /sbin/.magisk/config to point to the backup you want by putting your <hash> after SHA1=
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With Solid Explorer, I found different directories called /data in Root and in Internal Memory, but only the one in Root had a ./data/ subdirectory. Is that the one to which I should download the stock rom
ALI_RETAIL_9.0_PPSS29.118-15-11-9_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
which was posted in March, before the latest OTA release? Do I extract this zip, create an img.gz file from the .xml file and rename it stock_boot_<hash> before putting it there? Is <hash> blank-notation for any name that I give it, and which I then add after the “SHA1=” in /sbin/.magisk/config?
Finally, how do I edit the config file? I was able to get to it with Solid Explorer after checking the option to show hidden files in /sbin/. However, I couldn’t send this file to my computer by sharing it through email or messaging apps, as they all denied sending it. Apparently, it’s being blocked by anti-viruses. In this case, is there a safe way to transfer it to a computer, where I’ll be able to more comfortably edit it? Alternatively, if I just omit <hash> in naming stock_boot_.img.gz, can I leave config the way it is?
Best regards!
