Well if you deleted a system file for the touchscreen, not what you can do exactly. I would recommend restoring a Nandorid backup and see if everything starts working again, perhaps a factory reset. Worst case, the screen has gone bad. You can have Sprint repair it, or buy one and replace it yourself.

I would try:
-rebooting the phone
-restore a backup
-take it in for repair.

Well I did do that but I'm trying to know the name of it so I know not to delete it cause idk witch app or file it was that I deleted to stop the touchscreen

need help with password protected phone.

I have a Droid incredible with skyraider Rom installed. It has a password on it, I created a nandroid backup. Is there anyway to take that backup and open it up on a pc and either findout what the password is, it recover the text messages that it contains?
Thank you for any help anyone is able to provide.

They why are you trying to get the password? There are two scenarios.
One: It's someone else's phone and you have it with their permission. Perhaps to "help" them. However, if they know enough to get SR ROM on it, they probably wouldn't need your help.
Two: It's someone else's and you have it without their permission. That, however, is the definition of stealing.
As the first scenario is rather unlikely, I think you stole this phone. I hope no one in this community helps you.
I certainly won't.

My theory is that he rooted his gf's phone. She either started acting suspiciously or ur just paranoid. You decided to do a little investigating only to discover she has a password. You came up with a plan to create a backup so you could try and find out what she has been up to.

Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
If his GF is cheating on him i feel bad for him. Cheating is not cool ever.
But i do not agree with spying on her and looking through her phone.
I would ask her for it. My girl knows my password and I did not know hers. I told her I have nothing I'm hiding so check if you need. I asked her for it one day and she told me. Once I knew it I felt much better about the whole thing. Seems more fair and shows she has the password to keep others out not to keep me out..... but everyone knows you can erase the txt by conversation or each individual txt.
So..... even the password to her phone will not help your trust issues.
Sorry dude that's what you need help with, not the password.....

Quit being a stalker and just confront the person if you don't trust them.
It's not worth it man. You obviously already don't trust her for whatever reason and even if you don't find anything, you'll most likely still be suspicious for whatever reason. You'll also completely ruin any trust she has in you by breaking into her phone. Once the trust in a relationship is broken it will only get worse before coming to an end.

Not going to waste time

Ok, so in an effort to not waste anymore time searching and reading and getting a tiny bit confused. To all of my rooted Incredible partners who were using 2.2 Froyo before the root, and stuck with HTC Sense after the root. What apps are perfectly fine to get rid of completely and it wont mess up the DInc at all ?
Why stuck with HTC sense? I don't think i understand your question.
As far as removing apps pretty much anything that is not essential and most of the stuff you won't be able to remove.
I just now rooted my DInc but ive had for a few months so I'm just used to Sense. My question was pretty much me just wondering exactly which apps that came with the phone were ok to uninstall with Titanium Backup, like uninstalling them wouldnt mess up my DInc, like cause it to brick, or something to not work properly.
I don't remember stock lol.
Check this out.

I know it says 2.1 but it's a good start.

Did you make a NANDROID backup of your phone? If not do so now. You can do it via rom manager or boot into recovery and create a backup file. So in case you have issues you can restore your phone from an image.
Titanium backup won't be able to bring you back from disaster if your phone won't boot.

Use Titanium Backup and start by freezing the apps first before removing them. If freezing doesn't cause issues, then you can, more than likely, remove the app. I prefer to just freeze them, does basically the same thing.
I would simply freeze them, but TB wont let me. It keeps saying that to be able to freeze, I need to be on the donate version of it, which Im only guessing is the paid version.

It is the paid version. It is worth the $ IMO. Safer than deleting something you need.

check you messages...
I agree with trickster. TB is very much worth the money. When I first got it, I had just rooted - deleted an app and restored it with no problem. Then I tried removing a "stock" app. Gone. Can't reinstall... Freezing it is the way to go. Then again, you might want to consider a nandroid backup before doing anything at all.
I have a backup of all of the stock HTC apps somewhere. I had removed one of the stock apps on accident, so I had just used that and restored the apk... worked fine after that.

[Q] my Epic process problem

along with the android.process.acore issue im getting a slew of other errors. cant make any calls, cant load any contacts or messages. Im on SFR 2.1 everything was working fine earlier today, I cant think of anything I did to cause this. Im super stressed, iv searched around, people say to re-flash the phone... that makes me nervous.. what should i do? any help is much appreciated.
Sounds like data corruption. Are you journaled? Did you have an abrupt power off of the phone?

If you have a recent nandroid backup, restore it from cwm. If not, you will need to reflash the rom.

no im not journaling at all, the phone has been on all day untill I recived the errors. I tried to restore my phone using CWM and now I can get to my contacts but im still having gapps crash n stuff. idk what to do, i wana go back to stock and take this damn phone to the sprint store.

I doubt it's a hardware issue, sounds like data corruption potentially caused by lack of journaling an unstable undervolt/overclock or a combination of the two. Reflash your ROM of choice, and turn on journaling (if it's not already). It's a slight performance hit, but well worth it. Honestly the only time you'd even notice a difference is during a benchmark, these phones are plenty fast enough.
so I just re-flashed my phone... all my wonderful apps are gone.. all those high scores..everything. Im so sick of this phone.

It's your own fault. At least learn from it, utilize apps like titanium backup to backup apps and settings, make weekly NAND backups and enable journaling so it is unlikely to happen again.
I just had that happened to me about two hrs ago an don't know waht to do. It seem like my epic won't read my sd card and titanium back up and all my other apps are in there! I lost my google, facebook, clock, and almost everything force closes!!! Any help out there???

Bad flashing can happen on any phone. You would have had the same problem with journaling off on any phone. You can return this phone and still flash yourself into force close hell on a different phone. You aren't using Android right, it's not the Epic.

[Q] To devs or anyone...please help!!!!

Here's the problem . My friend has an Stock Epic 4g and it eventually bit the dust. She can still access the download screen via 1+power buttons but other than that her phone won't turn on. Now, thats not the problem. I can fix that. The problem is that she had very important text messages in her phone and we're trying to see if there's a way to retrieve them before I "unbrick" her phone. has anyone found a way to pull info off the phone before undergoing restoration and deleting everything? I apologize in advance if the answer is already on here somewhere. I searched and came up with nothing in our forums except for the text message history viewer on sprints website that is no longer there and besidesm even if it was, these texts are from around christmas. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I think you're pretty much stuck. I had the same problem once and never managed to get it working. If you can somehow make a backup of the messed up system that would be great. If the phone is stock, I don't think there's a way to do that.

no, there's not. I thought of that too. I was wondering if maybe i plug the phone into my computer maybe there's something that can take everything from the phone and copy it to my computer? or even just view the system folders in hopes that I can get the text messages that way but i dunno if that's even possible.
No. She's screwed. Tell her to back up next time.

I am by no means an expert but... could you odin in the recovery, get into CWM, make a backup, extract the data image, pull the messaging data and then restore after getting the phone functional?

Wouldn't that just reflash the recovery partition? OP: Try this if you haven't just reOdin'ed yet. It wouldn't damage the messages any more than they already are.

That is what I was going for, just overwriting the recovery partition like you would for rooting GB. You could even try to bring it back to life by flashing a kernel and see if it would boot. Neither of those operations should delete data.

I agree with the above. Don't odin it, try reflashing the recovery partition, nandroid everything to sd, THEN unbrick, restore data.

Try the nandroid restore and see if that works. U should be able to get into cwm

Make sure you tell her that her boyfriend still loves her even though the text no longer exists.
Download google voice from the market and you should see your texts there. For whatever reason, all my texts have been saved even though I've wiped my phone many times for different ROMs.

what is nvflash actually for?

ok so what is the text file for when doing a nf backuo? does it restore the device from a hard brick? i just did the backup and just wanted to be sure what it was for
reboot nvbackup? Backs up IMEI, basically. There is a lengthy post (in the IMEI restore thread) about how it actually works.
Basically when flashing your emei may randomly dissappear meaning you won't use the things that a phone is for such as calling or texting. If you can't restore it only way is to replace it. So good thing you backed it up because often that gets fo gotten and is really the most important thing. Samsung phones always have to deal with these issues.

nice thanks. i also have the transformer prime and they also found a way to do nvbackup and in their post it said it helped recover from software bricks including bootloader. so i was wondering if it was the same for the s3.
