[Q] delete build.prop pliz help!? - AT&T LG Optimus G

HI im accidentally delete bluid.prop file from system folder
Im on stock jelly beam lg AT&T rom oficial and rooted.
Thats all i have done
This is how it happend
Well I was trying to edit something there with root explorer and then I have two files with that name but one says .bak and I delete the one that doesn't says .bak and only have one know.
After I do it I try to open the one I left and it doesn't open. Them I realize I did a really stupid thing. I search and nobody is talking about it on this forum. The ones who talk about it was an old phones.
My phone is working cuz I didn't shut it down but I know that when I reboot it I will be **** up.
Pliz anybody knows what to do?
The only idea that I have is to do a factory reset may be it reinstall it or something. But I prefer to ask first here to see if one of you (the prooos) know something not like me an idiot who make a big mistake.
I'm sorry
Thanks in advance

I still have the file build.prop.bak
It wasn't opening but I select the option open with and select text viewer and it open and it was like the build.prop file
So I rename the file build.prop.bak to build.prop and I think now its ok I guess but I'm still worried
Did I solve my problem or not?
I'm scared to reboot it

You should be fine. Worst case scenario just reflash the ROM without wiping data and it will restore the whole system partition including the build.prop. just make sure you always have a copy of the ROM you are currently running on your SD card.

But I don't have a copy of my Rom cuz I'm stock I'm only rooted nothing more (I'm not unlocked bootloader and anything just root)
What should I do? Factory reset going to setting--> general--> backup and restore --> factory reset.
Or what I did of rename the file solve the problem?

Renaming the backup file to build.prop should be fine. Check the permissions it should be rw-r--r. If all is good you should be fine to reboot/shutdown. LGNPST can always recover your phone as long as it can at least be turned on. Like I said you should be fine but there is always options.

Ok thank you
The permissions are like this= rw-r--r--. How I change it to the way you said.
Rw-r--r-- is the same as rw-r--r?

The remaining 1 is build.prop.bak? If yes then just remove the .bak, and you can open it now with texteditor, check permission make sure it is RW-R--R--, owner is root, then you should be good.

. I accidentally uninstalled the original phone.APK with systemappremover.
here's my phone.odex unpack first, i dont know m8, i never been in this kind of problem. If this doesnt work, you have to re flash your rom or restore your latest back-up. Im sure this will solve your problem.

Royskeyz is right. If it doesn't help, you can backup your imp apps or data via titanium backup and reflash a rom. Or if you have a Nand backup, you can restore it.
One more thing. You have already done the pasting thing. You now you can try to install the phone.apk as a normal app. But don't delete the already pasted one.
If this all doesn't help, reflash the same rom again but don't wipe anything. And reboot. You will not lose anything.

Phone.odex should be in the same folder I.e. system /app.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
One more thing, if you already have the rom, you could have had all the system apps in the rom zip on SD. You can extract any app via root explorer. You can try to paste the same phone.apk.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
lol there's no such file as "phone.asexual". lekhwani is right, its the same directory where phone.apk is. you cant find your's maybe you just uninstalled it.
how did you solve your problem? you can share it here so other user's (nob) that may encounter this prob have an idea to solve.

Accidentally deleted the stock Camera.apk

So I was using Titanium Backup and accidentally deleted the camera app without a backup so I am hoping someone can send me the Note I717 stock camera APK...thank you!
galaxy note I717 camera.apk
I tried sending via PM but evidently the site was having problems with me sending a PM. I would be more than happy to send it to you. What is your email address?
[email protected]
thank you so much
you should have mail (;
i got it thanks, but the app will not install, do i drop the file in a specific folder?
should go in "system/app"
im gonna have to odin reflash the stock software cause it's not working, thank you for all your help tho, i do appreciate it
You're welcome, sorry it didn't work out for you.

Glad to hear that.
This same thing happend too me today, I was trying to install a mod for the samsungcamera.apk and i copied a back up of the camera.apk and went to install the modded one but it wont let me..so i said screw it ill go back to the stock one..and when i click on it too install it says application not installed.
Soo..in other words im SOL but ill have a look around and see where i can find a resolution. The problem isnt that i dont have the stock camera.apk cuz i do have a back up its just it refuses too install now... ughhh Lol
***UPDATE***
I could not install the samsungcamera.apk stock & the modded one.
I tried everything possible..flashing it through cwm as a .zip file & had signature verification turned off
even tried copying and pasting manually..
What I just resorted to just installing camera360 from the playstore..
this solved my issue of not having a camera at all.
Remember i tried re-installing the original camera.apk that i backed up and for some
reason it wouldnt let me install it. Dunno if it had to do with permissions or just because its a system app.
But im glad i have camera360 i have alot of new features and filters Go filters!! haha
still if anyone has a resolution to installing the apk let us now im desperate!!!
U can't install system apps. U have to use something like root explorer, put it in system/apps folder, fix the apk permissions and reboot

Does anyone know if i can run ICS camera with these background live video effects on my ROM? thanks.

Guys i need help.my little brother was playing with my phone and he somehow deleted the contact and phone apk. I checked on settings>applications>all to see if they were still there but they're not. I would really appreciate if someone can upload the stock ics dxlp7 phone and contact apk. I can't make a call or check contacts since it's gone.or if you could tell me how i can restore them
Have you tried downloading the rom and flashing it over?
Why don't you extract them from the system/app from the "yourromsname".zip and use root explorer and place them in system/app fix the permissions to match the others and reboot

It's not the only option. It's just AN option. You should be able to re-flash a non-wipe package of DXLP7, and you shouldn't lose anything other than root. But you're not rooted anyways.
EDIT to add: question though. If you're not rooted, how did he delete system files?
EDIT 2: I should also note that any other solution for you will probably require root.

I think factory reset will only wipe user apps but won't recover system apps.
Here it goes, stock phone and contact apks from LP7
root needed
Even if he has the apks ... he's not rooted so how are you going to push to system?

None rooted phone with no way of exploring the system folders . Not possible to delete the APK only to delete the shortcut .
Factory reset will recover system apps as they are in the flashed saved firmware cache but it will delete data but that can be backed up .

I have esfile explore even though I'm not rooted. Maybe he somehow deleted stuff while messing around with esfile?
Maybe he is smarter than you?
He Rooted,deleted,unrooted

Deleted Phone.apk

I deleted my the Phone.apk file on my rooted Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1CWY/XAA) running the stock rom awhile back to save on battery life.
I have done the same thing on my Nook Color, and figured that it wouldn't cause any problems, as the Player isnt a phone.
Recently tried to record some video, and found I was unable to do so. After doing some research I found out that deleting phone.apk causes the stock camera app, but not 3rd party camera apps, to stop functioning.
While I was sure to backup the file when I originally deleted the file, the backup has been lost in the intervening months.
Do I just need to find a specific phone.apk file for my device and return it to the correct directory?
I assume a factory reset will solve the problem, but I would rather not try that unless I have to.
Thanks!
a factory reset will not solve the problem, since it was a system .apk it will reset everything except for that particular apk.

In which case do I need to track down a copy of that specific apk or will I need to download odin and perform a full recovery?
put back the phone.apk file back on your device. Go to a ROM(best if its that ROM you are using) Find the phone.apk, and take it out. Then transfer it into your device, and use Root Explorer or something and put back phone.apk.
i dont think that will work because i uninstalled the screencapture.apk from my 5.0 and i backed it up so i tried to reinstal and it would not let me... but try aznflawless' way first if not you may want to flash a stock based rom...

I tried looking in various roms before, but they were all formatted for flashing with odin.
I should have just went straight for the cwm package. *slaps forehead*
Thanks so much!
i shall try that sir thanks
As others said... find the phone.apk... preferably from the same rom you are using... use RootExplorer and copy the phone.apk to the system/apps folder. Change the permissions to match the other apps in that folder... reboot and you are good to go.
For your future reference, it is not a good idea to delete system apps without knowing what they actually do... I think you made a real good guess since phone.apk should not be on a device that is actually not a phone by function. For example, the Android Market app is actually called phonesky.apk or vendor.apk... nothing like what you would normally guess it to be, such as market.apk or something to that matter. So if I were you and I wanted to keep using my device and not brick it, I would becareful what I delete out of /system and it's sub folders...
Good luck...

Make sure Nfc.apk is in /system because if for some reason it is missing it will produce those results of the settings being missing. If it is in /system pull a clean one from a stock build or elsewhere and paste into system and reboot.
Bigger problem now. My su superuse app crashed and now my phone is saying no root found. I tried to do moonshine again and it failed on me several times. It says I'm missing the binary part. And still no nfc. Any ideas? I can still boot into recovery with clockwordmod but don't have access to the r/w of phone. Again thanks to anyone that can help.

Did you set permissions to rw-r--r--
If yes then you need to start over. Use titanium backup for your apps or just full wipe then flash stock Rom and restore apps.

Okay so I copied both the apk and the oben file to my phone from a non rooted HTC DNA. Then changed the rw-rw-rw to the rw-r-r and the phone when crazy and when it rebooted and started to say that nfc crashed. I had to boot in recovery and use back up to fix. Any ideas on that one, and still not in the settings. Thanks
download the su binary https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9yd_oFytDSzQ1B6dzY4Z0JINmc/edit?usp=sharing
enter terminal or cmd
enter these commands
adb reboot recovery
adb remount

then chmod file to read write and reboot root again
