Ok this is totally a noob question and help would be greatly appreciated I accidentally replace touchwiz browser with stock ics browser. I was ok with it at first but I miss the automatic text re flow on touchwiz. I tryed to use system app restore to restore it from a fresh install but it wont work. Any one know how to fix this?
Go into settings -- applications -- all then scroll down to the launcher and select clear defaults.. Hit home button and you will have the option to select TW as default..

I dont mean the Launcher I mean web Browser but thank you for that
Ahh... Misread sorry..
A little more info is needed.. How did you replace TW Browser with ICS Browser? From market or did you delete TW Browser from phone and push ICS Browser to system/apps??
(should be posted in Q & A section) Im a bit confused to with what your asking. Did you download an after market browser or what? The FB21 leak only comes with 1 browser, it comes with 2 launchers (a launcher is the User interface that you use to locate things throughout your phone) either way if you altered the defaults for your browser or launcher, follow as he said and go to the app (.apk) and select it then clear defaults.

Hi guys,
I managed to flash CM9 with the help of some people on these forums .
However, now i would like to restore some system apps from the stock ICS app, which i loved. For example, I downloaded the .apk for the Xperia Gallery, and I've moved it into System/Apps/, and set the permissions. However, i cannot seem to load it. I've also wiped the dalvik cache.
How do i run the Xperia Gallery?
THANKS!!!
it would of been easier if you used Titanium Backup instead... this is what you can do
-download ES file explorer > find the .apk in your SD card, where ever you put it > install it and load it
The thing is becuase it is a system app, whenever i try install it, it will say "application not installed".
u cannot use some stock apps as these apps requires sony supporting files,which can only be found on stock roms..
Damn...
Is there any other way to get Xperia Gallery back?
go back to stock rom...
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
why dont you try custom roms based on stock rom? they are smooth and nice..
I personally dislike the Xperia Gallery. It takes ages to load.
Give QuickPic a try.

Hi guys,
Im sorry but I'm back with another question (not again -_-"). I was just wondering, How do I change the default app for viewing images on my CM9 flashed android? I've got another app for viewing images and it is set to default, unless, i open images through the camera app
Help will be greatly appreciated!!!
go to settings..apps..then look for that default app...open it and "clear default"..tats it..next time when u open an image,phone will ask u to select an app out of 2 or 3...tick mark on make default and select that app..tats all

Sorry I don't have computer with me and I can't upload file with my note.
1st . Copy file into ex card
2nd. Open root explore ( can find on play store ) / storage / ex card / hold app you want to copy / copy .
3th. Hit back button 2 time / find system / app / set permission to Mount R/W ( check on top of screen , you will see grey box with letter Mount R/O ,go head touch that box , you will see the R/O change to R/W ) / paste. Done
You have to delete old file you want to replace. ( Next time if you want to do something ,make sure move / paste file you want to replace to ex card , incase something go wrong you still have original file to copy back )

2)give it 664 premissions(-rw -rw -r) and reboot) have fun
3)oh and dont forget to delete the browser data and cach in all apps.or it will just force close.
works great so far.(few mins of testing(flash works fine)

I didn't overwrite it so I guess I'm fine with other even though I'm stock.
Just delete and rename again...
and of course I man stock... If I was non stock I wouldn't need any ota updates I like it manually.
I keep the stock only cos I want sense 5 when it comes...

IT's right here, NAMELESS ROM by djoliver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206780 :good:
Give it a try, believe me, it worth it
But i'am still having a trouble with this ROm, the default voice search is not working, i need it for my virtual assistant to work..I tried to download from the market but it say that Voice Search is installed, i can't delete it and install a new one either.
Any Ideas ?
AW: Trouble with NAMELESS ROM by djoliver
hey dude
i have a option to solve the problem:
1. download link2sd from google play
2. open it
3. look for voice search and tap on it
4. there you can reinstall, freeze, or deinstall.
5. select reinstall
5,1. if it is not working just deinstal it and search in the market for the same or something better.
Hope i helped you
According to this post it's not a ROM issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39628648&postcount=17
To delete apps that are included with the ROM, there's no need for Link2SD or any apps like that.
All you need is a Root Browser (Most CM10 roms have the default Cyanogenmod one. You need to take it off Safe mode from the settings tho).
I personally use Root Browser Lite which can be downloaded.
Navigate to System > App and find the corresponding App and you can just press & hold it and select Delete. Boom, app deleted.
But back to your original point, Voice Search also does not work for me and I am using the same ROM. Maybe you can use a similar 3rd party app?

Hi all,
It's been a while since I've come across a problem that Google couldn't help me with, and my search skills have not turned up any results...so I'm turning to the community again.
I recently decided to try out some Jelly Bean roms on my Desire after being a long time MildWild user. The rom that I found best suited was CyanoMod007 (JB 4.2.2 | Int2Ext+ | A2Ext+) [STOCK | CM7] [v21 | 19/05/13]. However this uses the trebuchet launcher which is a bit too slow for my liking.
I experimented with Apex launcher, essentially removing Trebuchet from the zip file and inserting Apex in its place and that worked fine.
However, I also wanted to try Nova Launcher and Smart Launcher. Following the same procedure as with Apex, I went through and reflashed my device, but in both these instances, Nova Lanucher and Smart Launcher failed to start.
I'm not sure why this is the case, as far as I could tell they should be working properly, but all I seemed to get was the popup telling me "Unfortunately, xxx Launcher, has stopped."
Could anyone shed some light on the situation?
Did you set the right permissions?
Why reflash the rom just to install a launcher?
Install the launcher of your choice normally with the apk, or if you want it to be a system app you can use a root file explorer to place it into system/app. Also change the permissions to rw-r-r.

To be honest with you I didn't realise you had to set permissions before adding a new apk. Whenever I've made my own modifications to roms I've always just swapped the apks out of the zip before sending it over to the phone to install.
I'll try to dig up a thread with some instructions.

Well, I went from an old Gingerbread rom to Jelly Bean, so I had to flash the rom. Once I got setup with jelly bean and saw it worked I thought it would be the best time to experiment with rom changes before I download all my apps and contact info etc so I've been making changes to the rom zips and installing them to see what works and what doesn't.
---Quick Edit---
After looking into the issue some more, I've managed to hack together a solution, though I'm not sure if this will cause issues down the line. It seems to be working fine at the minute.
Basically, I installed the rom with Apex, downloaded Smart Launcher and Titanium Backup, set Smart Launcher as the default launcher and removed Apex with Titanium.
While this does seem to work, I'm still trying to find some information regarding apk permissions when adding them to a zip file and why the apk wouldn't work from a fresh install, so by all means any comments on that front would be welcomed.

Any time you move an apk to /data or /system manually, you have to set rw-r-r permissions. You should just install the ROM and then use cmd or filemanager to replace Trebuchet with Apex or whatever launcher you want. Simply refrain from adding apks to pre-install zip files.
Why uninstall with Titanium when you can simply delete from /system/app? I think Titanium causes problems on some JB roms...

I initially tried to go to /system/app using Estrong File Manager before opting for Titanium as I wasn't sure if it would cause problems. However, when searching with the file manager I didn't find any apk's. Could this have been because I did it while the system was mounted i.e. phone turned on?
Apologies for what may seem like basic questions / understanding, but as you can see from my join date I've only had an android device from September of last year and the truth is after following the Noob proof everything guide for the HTC Desire and installing my MildWild gingerbread rom I never experimented with anything until now.

That means that whatever File manager you're using doesn't have root capabilities. Try root browser https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree&hl=en and you'll be able to access anything in / .
For some managers there is an option to mount system r/w. Try that too.

Yup, you were right, the issue was I wasn't running the file manage with root mounted. Once I enabled the mount system r/w setting I had access to the apks.
So with that sorted I'm guessing that for future tests the best way of making edits to roms would be to install the rom, then using the file manager (un)install apks as I choose?

Well yeah. It takes more time than editing zips, but you won't usually get problems unless you delete an important apk.
