Accidentally Deleted Bluetooth Share? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The problem:
I rooted my Galaxy Ace and installed an app called Root Cleaner. Though it did a good job on cleaning up the internal memory, the app also had an option to uninstall system and non-system apps. It so happened that I accidentally tapped on Bluetooth Share and it got uninstalled without asking any confirmation. Now, whenever I try to send a file via Bluetooth, it simply gets queued and refuses to be sent.
//pics go here, unable to submit them due to 10 post limitation...
So I realized I messed up. I had to find a way to re-install Bluetooth Share.
What I tried to do:
I rooted my friend's Galaxy Ace (both of them are 2.3.6), compared the programs in /system/app and sure enough BluetoothPbap.apk was missing from my list. So I copied the .apk onto my sd card, then copied it to the /system/app directory. Total Commander asked me for rw permissions, I just pressed ok and the file got copied. I tried installing the .apk, but I simply got "Application not installed". I looked around for ways of re-installing system apps, but one page suggested simply leaving the .apk in the /app folder and re-staring the phone. After doing so Bluetooth Share was back on the system app list, yet it is still unable to send any files.
Sooo... Help? What I suspect right now is that the .apk file I got might be in some way incompatible with my device, though I got it from and Ace with the same version of Android, could this really be the case? Any advice is welcome.
Oh, and another interesting thing. After doing everything mentioned above, I tried deliberately uninstalling Bluetooth Share and reinstalling it. The BluetoothPbap.apk disappears from /system/app, but when I paste it in and try to install it, It asks if I want to replace the application. In other words, It's asking me if I want to replace something that isn't installed, so I have no idea how to explain this.

Patched Gallery3D app, anybody tried it ?

Speaking about this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752007
More information about it here: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/patched-gallery3d-for-higher-resolution/
Since this app is included in the Samsumg rom, we would have to flash it. Anyone willing to be the guinea pig and see if it works (and is worth it) ?
Guinea pig here. Does nothing but a FC loop.
- oh well, thanks for trying at least !
Flashing doesn't work on I9000 either, but the .apk works. You just have to uninstall the existing gallery3d with root explorer, and then reboot, go to settings-manage applications and unintall the leftovers of the gallery. Then install the .apk with astro or similar.
I only did he update. I am going to try the longer way in a bit to test.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
So, I was able to get the updated Gallery3dm.apk loaded onto my Vibrant. Using AndroidMate, I copied the original \system\app\gallery3d.apk to my SDcard (as a backup), then deleted the \system\app\gallery3d.apk from my system + the corresponding ODEX file. Reboot. Next, I copied the Gallery3dm.apk (updated version) from my SDcard to \system\app, selected it, and chose Install. Worked fine.
My thoughts? It does have a higher quality when you zoom in, but it seems to have some drawbacks too -- like VERY low-res versions of the files upon first load (and after, it seems), some display strangness (graphic tearing), and the occasional lag. Most of all, the difference is not THAT noticeable. You can check out the *before* and *after* attachments I've uploaded.
I'll be going back to the original Gallery3D.apk for now, but I sincerely hope that Samsung (or whoever) can figure out how to allow for crisp zooming in.
Thanks,
Yip
Were you able to switch back to the old gallery?
(On i9000):
I've tried putting my backup copy of Gallery3D.apk (and odex) into /system/app but it doesn't do anything (doesn't appear in apps menu etc).
If I click on the Gallery3D.apk to try install it, it asks if I want to replace existing system application (yes) but ends up with "Application not installed".
It seems I'll have to stick to the Gallery3Dm till my next FW flash.
Edit:
Oh nvm, seems a reboot did the trick

[Q] Accidentally uninstalled stock clock application

So.
Being a new android user, I messed around with my phone without a full understanding of what would happen if i uninstalled a core application. I assumed incorrectly that Titanium Backup would allow me to reinstall applications, and then uninstalled the stock clock application thinking that it was one of the many clock widgets.
Could someone upload their stock Clock application apk here, or advise me as to how I can restore the stock clock (preferably without having to flash the original ROM)?

Here. I backup all of the apk that I want to remove. Hope this is what you want.
Is this the stock clock application, like the one used for alarms and such?
EDIT: I attempted to install ClockPackage.apk anyway by using Root explorer, and then moving the apk to /system/app and installing it from there, but it says 'Application not installed.' Am I doing something wrong?

This is for clock, alarm, stopwatch etc. Put the apk on the root of your sd card and install from there. Don have to move it to system/app.

Did you add the odex file as explained above?
Yes i followed the guide as described. I have the odex and apk in system/apps folder. Funny, another clock widget im using is showing my next alarm.. but no alarmclock..
Followed the guide above, apk and odex showing in app system/app but still not available anywhere on the phone.
Anyone recommend a third party clockpackage from the market?
Used sgstools to kill my clock so used it to reinstall it to.
added a extra script,
echo "this will reverse the klok hack"
busybox cp -f /sdcard/sgstools/ClockPackage.apk /system/app/
(you might have to remove it fist if you have been messing around to get it working again)
I did the what the above guide said and could not find the app in the application menu. Help!
will reloading the stock firmware fix this issue?

I did the same thing, but when i restart my phone, the clock in not in the app drawer, when i go to TB, it is there, but with a line through it and it won't restore, all attempts to install the apk is failing too... what can i do?
The link for the odex file is down. Also, I'm trying to get this app working on CM7. Is that doable? I love CM, but a couple of the samsung apps are miles beyond what comes with Cyanogenmod - namely the clock, and the camera. I understand I can't swap the camera app, having looked into it, and I'm ok with that. The clock, however... I gotta have my samsung clock back!
Parse Error
I managed to get the ClockPackage.apk and the ClockPackage.odex from another device (running on 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.6) and now I get the following error while trying to install the apk:
"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package"
Does anybody know what to do?
Contacts app backup please help
hi, I recently updated my sgs2 i9100p (NFS) to ics via kies. Its orange but I unlocked now 4.0.3 with baseband ver i9100PBVLP6. an orange bloatware called 'contact backup' irritated me so I decided to uninstall it with Titanium backup. but in a hurry I uninstalled stock contact app. now there is no contact and in every 5-10 second phone freezes and error msg comes-' unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped'. Please help.
AnalogClock.apk + ClockPackage.apk seem to work together.
I used SystemApp Remover to disable ClockPackage.apk, (thought it was a bunch of unnecessary Clock widgets), but stock Clocks package stopped working. I tried enabling it, copying ClockPackage.apk, and still could not. SuperSU logs indicated that all operations succeded normally, but it simply would not work.
I thought, maybe it messed up with program data, permissions, etc., so I removed/deleted both, restarted, then simply copied .apk file for both back. Only then it worked.

There are applications that access data, and there are applications that provide that data. For example, for contacts, you could have many applications that use it (Email, Messenger, Call Logs, etc), and one application that provides it. In case if you accidentally delete data provider (in your case contacts), and if that data provider is essential to running your phone, you will ruin your phone. You might be able to restore it, but I would recommend using Odin to flash correct official firmware. Search in forum "i9100 Android Development".

U are right. I think I uninstalled contact provider, the main contact app. I tried to find solution for all day but coudn't. Tried to flash original stock rom which I have downloaded (i9001PBVLP6) but odin didn't detect my phone in downloading mode. I had to make my phone work anyhow so I flashed Wanamlite 11 with cwm which is ok but not fully functioned on my nfc version sgs2 (now I know the importance of back-up). Now I want my original stock rom back. tried with cwm but didnt work, Odin doesnt detect my phone. any help regarding flashing this stock rom, please?

[Q] Copy/paste into music folder is not working

I can not copy/paste any music (mp3) into the music folder.
I get "Device has either stopped responding or been disconnected".
I then go back, bring up the Movies folder and it pastes into that just fine.
Anyone else having this issue, or should I be uploading music onto my prime in a different manner than opening files and copying/pasting?
Factory rest fixed the issue. I hadn't put muchon this yet so I thought I,d give it a try. I was surprised to see ICS remained. I thought with the reset it would revrt back to honeycomb, but it did not.
I simply can't write to the Music folder. Just tells me it has failed. I can't delete the music files in there. Same goes with the Pictures folder.
What gives?
Just for grins, I tried to paste into my Music folder and had no issues. It's a stock Prime (non-rooted) with ICS. (I used ES File Explorer on the Prime to do the copy.) I even tried it with my music player running with no problems.
Is some syncing program perhaps tying up your Music folder? Hard to believe any syncing program would actually be able to modify your folder permissions. Personally, I'd try stopping Asus Sync (my primary suspect, and I am NOT running it) and perhaps also look at my running tasks and kill anything that has to do with music and try it again.
Mine is stock and right out of the box. Tried copying to the Music folder from USB - and Moving files from SD Card to internal storage using BOTH ES File Explorer and the "pre-loaded" File Manager program.
ES File Explorer tells me "pasting failed" and the File Manager just says "Unable to Paste" or something similar.
I don't have Asus Sync running either and I've rebooted the tablet thinking there was an issue with something holding it up.
I also can not delete the Music files that are pre-installed in that folder nor can I delete the Pictures out of the picture folder!
I dunno?!?!?

I had thought that had something to do with my issue. I was able to delete the preinstalled music songs from the Music folder, but, not really as when I turned my TFP on those files still showed up and played. It was then I tried to load mp3 into the Music folder and I got the error message.
Also, weird, after the factory reset, those preinstalled music songs/files are no longer there. Very odd.
It was only the music file that I had issues with. All other files worked fine. Before I did the reinstall I pasted a few music files into the "Movies", they went in OK and the stock music player, along with the "My Net" app located and played them without issue.
I tried a reboot but it did nothing. It was the factory reset that fixed the issue.
Oh, my TFP is out of box, no root, nothing special otherwise. Sync running.
Has anybody else tried a factory reset to verify this fixes the issue? I am having the same issue that the paste fails when trying to add to the music folder. I don't really want to go through a factory reset since everything else is working just to find out it didn't fix the issue. Thanks.

I wouldn't want to do a factory reset, either.
Try a hard reset (cold boot) instead, and see if that works. Just open up a paper clip and stick it in the little hole just below the microSD card slot on your Prime -- your Prime will reboot. You lose nothing with a hard reset -- and it can do a lot of good. Some folks recommend that you do a hard reset before firmware updates to clean things up and be safe -- I did this before the ICS update.

I figured as much, as you tried everything else! It is still worth a try for others. It seems all of our Primes are acting a little differently.
Just out of curiosity, have any of you looked at the permissions on your Music folder in ES File Explorer? Mine is "drw"... Wondering if some app changed yours to Read only.
Theres no quick fix

I do not have this issue, but when I did a full reset to clear some other issues (successfully) it wasn't all that bad. In fact, if you have selected the choices to backup your Google Account and settings, the worst of it is the wait for apps to re-download. I am not rooted, so could not use Titanium Backup, but the Market did a fine job of restoring my apps. All 170 f them, LOL. Took about 50 minutes. The only items I had to manually set were things like "Allow Unknown Sources" and a few similar items. Less than an hour, AND I have the satisfaction that I now have a "clean" ICS installation.

I did not.
I had not invested a lot of time inputting info and such on my Prime as of yet so, after trying the hard reset to no avail, I just said, **** it, wipe everything and start again.
No problems since.
Hmm reset work?
I have noticed, though, that whenever I copy/paste a mp3 file into the music file it asks if I am sure I want to continues as "Your device may not be able to play or view this file."
Anyone else get this?
Yes, I get that with my Nexus as well. It's just windows being windows. I think it has something to do with the new file system as I never got it with my Thunderbolt or, my original TF.
Haven't had a file copy over that hasn't played so I just hit the continue button.

My friend's Prime encountered the same problem. He couldn't upload any files into the "Music" directory.
After checking out this thread, I told him to do a factory rest, and It worked.
Now problem solved. So anyone has same problem, the factory reset do work.
Here's what I did when I couldn't copy and paste into the music folder. I just deleted the music folder, named the new folder Music with my new music in it and copied and pasted the entire folder in place of the stock music folder and it worked just fine. Did the same thing with the movie folder too.

I renamed the two folders and created new ones with the original names. It seems fine, but I can't delete the old folders.
checked the properties of the music folder. It is set to read and write. I was also able to rename it. Still wont let me delete it though. oh well, if this is the only problem I end up having with my prime I will b extremely happy.

Cure for Chinese Notification Spam & Random App Installations

I recently obtained a Star N9500, which is a Samsung Galaxy 4 clone. It's a very nice piece of hardware, with the exception of the pre-installed spamware apps. I'm going to detail how I discovered which system apps were the culprit so that you can follow a similar procedure on your Chinese Android device.
The symptoms are Chinese language spam notifications that when touched will immediately begin downloading some other app, most often a game or Chinese social networking/dating app. Other times, Chinese apps would just randomly install, or links to other Chinese sites would appear on the home screen. The problem is that there is no obvious app to uninstall to stop this from happening, AdAway doesn't prevent it, and none of the ad network / push detectors or blockers available in the Play Store found anything wrong. These apps are buried in the phone's firmware, and this must be solved with detective work.
The removal process requires your phone to be Rooted.
The first thing that I did was to Google the name of each and every .apk in the /system/apps folder. You'll have to use the Translate feature for most of the results. Only one app I Googled got a hit called “uuplay.apk”. Turns out that this is a known Chinese Adware app. I proceeded to rename it with a “.dis” extension with ES File Explorer and felt I solved the problem...but I didn't.
Sure enough the notification spam continued, so I knew there had to be more. None of the APKs in the system apps folder resulted in any Google hits, so I had to figure this out myself.
I proceeded to use ES File Explorer to copy every file in the “/system/apps” folder to my desktop computer. Next, I used 7-Zip to unzip every APK to my RAMDRive. I started to look at the individual files with Notepad++ but found this quite tedious. Then I realized that Chinese apps probably access Chinese servers with a “.cn” domain.
I fired up Agent Ransack and did a search inside all of the decompressed app files for “.cn”. Sure enough, two hits on “GoogleUpdate[3738].apk” and “GoogleService[3738].apk”. I looked inside the “classes.dex” files and sure enough found links to Chinese sites located at “http://g.10086.cn”. I also found mention of “com.google.system.king”. Ahhhhh that makes sense, because I noticed that the SD Card ended up with a folder of the same name with Chinese looking files inside, such as “hziee”, and also “jrinfo.cfg”.
I Googled the king string and found a Chinese site that described the app as “Android application management, convenient and practical, Fool phone management experts.” Ah-ha!!! So I renamed both of those APKs in the system app folder with a “.dis” extension, rebooted my phone and voila – no more spam They didn't fool me, and hopefully this post will help someone else out there with this infestation.
I attached the spamware app APKs from my phone to this thread for additional deconstruction by anyone interested. I'd be curious to know to what extent they would go in downloading spam.
~Cevyn L (FastMHz)
Yes, be careful with those Chinese phones.
Some of them has self-register apps that send expensive sms messages to China. Some of them have also apps similar to those you mentioned.
Usually, you can delete the whole /system/vendor/app folder, full of Chinese crap.
Some of the apps are also located in the /system/app folder. Best way for non-experienced users is to search for apps description over the net if you're unsure of what a certain app does.
MTKDroidTools has some predefined apps list and can automatically remove Chinese stuff for you, but still there's a chance some new or differently named app is installed on the phone.
Ofcourse, for any of these manipulations you need root access.
Yeah I can imagine some of them have some nasty stuff loaded in, so definitely a good idea to scrutinize every app for anything suspicious. I think doing what I did above on any Chinese phone to search for any apps with links to .cn based domains isn't a bad idea, even if spamware isn't an issue. I also only use prepaid SIMs in these things for a reason
UPDATE 08-09-2013:
Quick Fix: If your phone has the same rogue files as mine did, root your phone, and delete the following from /system/apps: UUPLAY.APK, GoogleUpdate[3738].apk, GoogleService[3738].apk, SystemThread[3738].apk, Backup_File[3738].i, projectmkmassags.apk, and smsreg.apk.
I completely decompiled the APKs to Java code and found these strings inside:

None of those other APKs were present, but a datang_gaohong folder was on my SD card, as well as a folder called LogicDownloads that referenced these types of filenames. I deleted all of them and haven’t had them come back. I deleted a bunch of other non-dangerous bloatware as well. The phone is now about as perfect as I could imagine one being. Battery seems to go forever now as well.
mine ends all like GoogleService[3774]
i didn't understand if all those apps you listed on the last message , we should delete em all or only the one in capslock ?
sorry my questions i'm a bit newbi ;(
Delete them if you have them.
Also, zip up the "GoogleService[3774].apk " and any other 3774 apps you have and attach to a message on this thread...I'll look inside for Chinese links. Interesting you have a different set of numbers in brackets on yours, could be a version indicator or something.
Thank You
thank you for your reply , haven't deleted em all only ( uuplay ) so here are the others , hope is what you wanted . So if if delete those ones i won't have chinese apps news and autoinstall ?
Help, I can´t remove them!!!!!

But I can´t delete or rename them, why? I´m root in the phone but I only get errors when I try it.
I´m using "ES FILE EXPLORER" for deleting them.

Thank you for this thread, I have been searching for a couple of days now for this!
I also have been wondering how I get these weird apps in my phone everytime I wake up, and find it already installed.
I noticed the folders you said which I also deleted, hoping it would fix the problem.
Anyways, thanks a lot for sharing this.
By the way, I really don't know how I got this malware, not really sure if it was preinstalled in my Cherry Mobile Superion TV2, or got it somewhere else in the apks I recently downloaded and installed.

Thanks guys, your thread helped me a lot.
Just removed uuplay.apk and uuairpush.apk.
Deleting/renaming them via ES Explorer didn't work for me, I had to use Root App Delete. Even that initially seemed to fail to remove the fake Google Play app, but then came up with a prompt to tap here to force removal, which worked.
Rebooted and done deep ESET scans yesterday and again today, looks like it is all gone. :laugh:

My Chinese phone Kolina 100+ always loads a spam website, whenever I try to open a link.
This happens with both stock and Dolphin browser.
Adaway and ad push detector only stopped ads in applications.
Not this annoying homepage.
Same kolina 100+ and same spam website. After rooting the phone with kingo root, I uninstall the stock tweeter. Seems ok now

I don't have this application installed, so it's not coming from there.
Yes, I don't see this application before I scan my phone with Kaspersky anti-virus (and force the program to analyze system applications). So you probably have the same problem.

You mean that this twitter app is hidden and only Kaspersky can reveal it?
I searched with Rootappdelete app and there is no twitter app in system apps.
Hi there,
I have a problem. I recently got a Huwaei GX1s ( Huwaei SC-UL 10 ) phone from China. I have changed the language to English but once I get inside any apps already there or installed from its apps store they are opened in chinese language. I tried to download google translator but it doesn't download even Google Play Store won't open.
How can I solve this problem of Chinese language in apps???

Safe to delete apps after freezing?

Went through the following steps:
1 - From SYSTEM-APPS and moved many .apk and .odex to ext sd card. I thought this would essentially "uninstall" them by being in a diff laocation. They still appeared in app drawer, so
I used Root Browser to freeze them. now they SEEM gone from app drawer, but,
they still present!! How do I get rid of this stuff
btw - I identified and renamed and moved all the files related to OTA so not sure what happening here...help!
Pretty much have most moved and renamed except for these. Can anyone point me to the specific files and are these safe to also move/rename?
