Urgent Help Needed!!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use an LG Exceed 2 and like a month ago I went into superuser and deleted some android files which came with the system, I factory reset it and now it says "Unfortunately, LGSetupWizard has stopped." Is there a way I could recover those files at all? I went into Safe Mode and it said the same thing! Please help!

You will have to refresh the stock software.

You need to either reflash the system, or find TWRP flashable zip of your current OS, extract it and copy the items you deleted. Or you can try editing build.prop and change "ro.setupwizard.mode" value to "DISABLED". It might work after reboot

How would I do that?

maybe u deleted the setup files that we use after booting a new rom or killed the launcher.
Just copy the files u deleted by recovery or reflash ur built in rom.

do u have ur stock rom?
if yes..
Then..
1)extract your rom with any archiver software.
ex-winrar,zarchiver
for pc - winzip etc
(pro version recommended)
There's an app called setup wizard.
(it depends on your rom.
On samsung stock its samsung setup wizard, on cm its cyanogenmod setup wiz)
U will see something like that on your
rom/system/app or priv-app/here
copy that one to ur phone's root/system/app or priv-app
exactly where its located on ur stock rom.
(u need a root explorer software to put that in ur system)
Easiest way is find ur stock rom and flash it.
If u r new to this things,get help from somebody who knows.

[Q] Slightly broken

Made a mistake with "root un-installer" pro version needed to unfreeze re-install system apps etc. Pro version NOT compatible with SII!
Now my messaging reboots phone and I have no way to reinstall the missing system app.
Whats out there to install system apps?
Anything that gets a recommend?
I've tried a few different apps. nothing worked yet.
Android 2.3.4
Kernel 2.6.35.11
Lite'ning Rom V6.1 XXKH3
I can revert back to O2 defaults, but...
The only way to get back system apps back is re-install the firmware that contained them.What i would do is stay rooted and make a nand/titanium back-up of all that you have now on your current firmware.Re-install your the firmware you need to get back your missing apps and then flash back the version your on now.Re-install your back-ups and you will have everything you had before.

This is not true.
I see you are running lightning rom. locate the original rom zip find the app you are missing in system/app.
push the app to system/app on your phone or copy there with a root file manager change permissions to match, reboot, done.

What?
Like the above said just extract the system apps from the .tar file of the rom your on and use a root explorer to copy them to system /app folder. If your wanted you could always use this code: *2767*3855# in phone dialer. This will reset the phone to factory settings and reinstall the rom.

Not even in a tar mate straight up in the zip in system/app.
The *2767*3855# code will factory reset your phone but im pretty sure it wont reinstall the rom and not going to try it lol

In effect yes it rolls the firmware back to the last installed rom at the point it was last flashed .
In other words flash stock KDD 1-8-11 factory reset three weeks later reverts firmware to that exact point . Likewise if you flash a custom rom Factory restore reverts to that at point of install .

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...

This seemed to work for me!
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...

[Q]

someone told me, is should post here
hej
i killed the live wallpaper files a long time ago.
now i like to test the weather pro live wp.
can someone tell me, which files i need?
(i can´t simpy install the live wallpaper picker. the system always shows: "app not installed")
Use root file browser to push to system/app and set permissions
i gave all permissions to the apk in the system.
"app not installed" after the installation-prozedure
Have you got the right app for your Rom?
i took the original
secLiveWallpapersPicker.apk
4.1.2 on s3
which i saved before i killed them
And are you still on that same version of jb?
i didn`t change anything till this time

did you reboot your phone after changing the permission ?
the permissions were already there
do i copy it into the system?
or install it from another place?
You just put it in /system/app

You do not install it from there, or from anywhere else. You just put it there, check permissions and reboot. Done.
thats the way i tried it
there is a *.odex datei.
do i have to copy it back too?
what about the "special" permissions?
Is your ROM odexed or de-odexed?
i never did something this way.
its the original 4.1.2 without branding.
flashed with odin.
rooted

It's odexed then, so yes you will also need the .odex from your donor rom
Sometimes it is just easier to flash a pre-rooted ROM version via recovery.
i still can´t use live wallpapers.
when i klick on my background -> background
then there is just
1) galerie
2) quick pic background
If you are on stock Rom, re-flash it with mobile Odin without wiping data
After copy try to clear cache and dalvik-cache in the recovery.

it still doesnt work.
if i flash again: will my confugurations be gone with the wind?
in my recovery is no option to wipe dalvuk.
titanium says there is nothing to clear,
so how can i wipe dalvik?
Dalvik wipe is in the advanced menu of CWM based recoveries.
However, your ROM is odexed so /system/apps don't have dalvik-cache anyway, so it wont help.
Flashing a de-odexed, pre-rooted ROM, if its a same version (4.1.2 etc) should not have any negative effect on your config

[Q] How to restore Systemui.apk?

Hey guys!
I am new here and this is my first thread
I am having a big problem. I already had installed Xposed Installer. 1 week before a error appeared that unfortunately Systemui has stopped and when I rebooted my mobile systemui(status bar, recent apps etc.) was lost. I removed that systemui from the system folder and put the systemui of which I recently had made a backup but still it did not work My system is odexed and there is not any file naming systemui.odex. I think this is the problem but I don't know that how this file was deleted. I have tried all the things but none worked :'( I also tried putting systemui.apk and systemui.odex of another device in my mobile but it also did not work. I am having backup rom of my mobile but I don't know how to flash as I don't have CWM or TWRP installed.
PLzzzzzzz help me how can I restore my SYSTEMUI.
I am using GFIVE BRAVO A5 running android 4.2.2. My phone is rooted.
ODEXED
You mentioned in your post that you had an odexed rom installed, what did you use to flash that rom?
What device are you having this problem on?
Stock Rom
I haven't flashed my rom. I have stock rom installed and stock rom is odexed.
Stock rom installed
I haven't flashed my rom. I have stock rom installed and stock rom is odexed.
I am having this problem in my mediatek device namely GFIVE BRAVO A5 running JB 4.2.2. I am having 3.5 inch device.
I'm not familiar with the brand of the device and the searches I have looked around for don't seem too legit to me, so all I can say is to search around and find something that can help, perhaps an update to the device that might contain it or a full of backup of the phone wich contains the files you are looking for. Other than that all I can say is to try a factory reset and don't mess with your devices system folder unless you know what you're doing.
You can look at this for reference maybe: all-flash-file.blogspot.com
Hard resetted
I have hard resetted my mobile more than 10 times but still no effect took change
And the link you posted, when I opened it And clicked the download button, a message appeared saying that the link will be available for your IP in 24 hours.
Probably a hard reset wont work because a hard reset only resets the user data. In your case, its with the system. It is either you reflash stock rom or push a stock system ui and its odex file. :angel::angel::angel:

Ask around, there's bound to be someone with the same phone who will be willing to help. If not, go to your phone manufacturer's site and see if they have an android system update you can either upgrade to or extract to find the files you need. Good Luck

http://www.bholagsm.com/g-five-bravo-a5-flash-file/ This site seems to give good instructions try to follow those. Also, do you have a someone you know with the same phone? If you do, then you might be able to copy the file from their /system folder and paste into into your phone.

I have the same phone and model,the Y625-U21. Many weeks ago,I renamed accidentally the system file "framework-res.apk" and it won't boot until I will flash the ROM. You must do that to recover the apks. What's the problem? The phone was launched on July. There's no ROM of our phone on the whole internet and Huawei doesn't provide it. So we are without a functional phone until there's a ROM.

Exactly...
If your sister's phone is the Y625-U21 too and works,you can dump the ROM and flash it on your phone so it will work again
You have to install the phone and contacts app from the same version of the phone on the same exact update. You can not install the apps just by clicking on them, you need to use a root enabled file manager and move them to the /system/app folder and set the permissions to 0644 - rw-r-r.
