Unable to install back Sys App after removal - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hi!
First, I would like to give thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317394 for a quick guide on rooting my new Samsung galaxy GT-I8150.
My problem
Because my device is now rooted, I was able to uninstall the built-in Music app using Super Manager. But before that I managed to backup the installer using Norton Utilities, the file is Music_1.1.1.apk. I did it on purpose because I thought I could install it back without hassle like other app on the market. Now my phone does not allow it to be installed anymore.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in advance

Hi, may i know are you using stock rom?? If stock rom,all the program is odexed, and it cant simply put back. You should look for "system app remover" to do this,as inside got backup function.

I did the same thing before with MyFiles on stock ROM. My advice is don't you ever look back or you need to reflash you phone.

Hello jamestts!
Thank you for your reply!
I'm new to android technology so forgive me I don't know what a stock rom is. But you mentioned about odexed. I noticed that every apk file on my /system/app has a corresponding odex file. Will that make sense?

Yes...if you r using stock rom,all the file is odexed. If u wanna get back ur music.apk,the best way is flash with odin 4.43 ,lower version might brick ur phone. Do some research be4 flashing. Be patient. If u wanna know which firmware u using now,you can dial *#1234# at dial pad. Then you can download ur firmware from sammobile.com . If u interested in custom firmware which is faster,u can always go to developer forum.

I tried to flash my phone using Odin 4.43 with ASIA ROMS, and it was successful. The music app has returned to its place. Seems like I really had a hard reset of my phone. Thanks to you jamestts. But a new problem arises. Sometimes when my phone has returned from Idle, the display is messy. There's an intense brightness with vertical stripes on it. If I turn the display off and then on then suddenly the display is back to normal.
And I think the device volume becomes weaker, android version has been downgraded from 2.3.6 to 2.3.5
Any Idea on how to resolve this issue?

U can simply use odin to flash the latest ROM. They are available in our forum and http://samsung-updates.com/gt-i8150-galaxy-w/

hi there, glad you make it!!!
try install cwm recovery and wipe cache n dalvik cache then reboot. Try to do it twice and see how is it!!! remember is wipe cache and dalvik cache. DO NOT WIPE DATA....else it will factory default again!!
if after restart and still got the same problem, then i suggest restore to default.
OR change wallpaper!!!
it doesnt matter whether you upgrade or downgrade the firmware version. cause i have updated to newest malaysia version which is 2.3.6 then downgrade to cow firmware first version 2.3.5 .
try and see will solve your problem or not. cause i never facing this kind of situation. good luck to you.

I Immediately followed the link provided by yewsiong and flashed the latest firmware. I think my phone is more stable now, it's good as new.
Thank you guys for helping me out. I really learned a lot.
Thank you so much!!!
This site is cool...

Upgraded P935 to ICS, now it restarts randomly

After installing ICS my P935 now resets randomly, seems to do it most when trying to install apps from the Google Play store and when I make settings changes. I don't have an SD card installed if that makes any difference.
Did you do a factory data reset when you updated?
Sent from my LG-P935 using xda app-developers app
It's been doin the same for me (Telus P935), I also did a factory reset and it was still doing it so I took out the SDcard, swapped SDcards, etc. But it hasn't done it today yet.
Well I went to Telus and sent it in to see if they can repair or replace it, it rebooted again today and it then got very hot but when I pulled the battery and booted it up again, the graphics was all messed up and the colors were off, perhaps some damage to the GPU. I had no problems with this before updating to ICS... I wonder because I looked around the net and a few people are having problems too.
funny I have no problems. upgrade was flawless.

I have also had problems with my nitro rebooting a few times a day ever since installing ICS.
I think reboots and other things are not problem of installing Android 4
I've also had this problem, except with my bell optimus Lte, and its quite annoying as it randomly happens while I'm doing something with my phone.

I have the same problem, try a hard reset, but the problem remains ...
Someone solved it? or how to do a factory reset to uninstall ICS?
There's no solution for this problem. And if you will flash another rom or another official software, no matter GB or ICS , the problem will stay. I don't know what happens, but updating creates some error, possibly in hardware.
And you know, I am really disappointed with that. I had tried every rom, and all kdz software, downclocking, disabling tons of functions & options. Nothing prevents reboots. It freezes for a while and then reboots. In some roms it can shuts off instead of reboot. And that's it. The last chance I think is jtagg reflashing.

I had same random reboot & sleep death problem after performing unbrick.
I tried several times of unbricking to correct this and installed GB & ICS, almost every CWM Rom without sucess.
Finally, I tried v18f.exe version when my phone was in download mode.
After that, I havn't had any single reboot or sleep death. I'm currently using v20c without CWM.
What I did was:
1.Install V18f leaked version in download mode.
2.Root with TPSparkyRoot_ICS
3. you can stay with v18f if you like, but I prefer to go v20c using "dd if sdcard boot.img .....method.." with v20c img file.
In my opinion, unbricking with korean rom may have some compatibility problems in some area besides boot, recovery, firmware, band, system partitions at least in my phone.
Becasue before I perform unbrick with korean rom, I never had reboot or death problem with Ho-no bell rom, kernelpan1c, cm9 and p936 rom.
Anyway, after install v18f.exe, my phone is perfectly okay.
I hope this help some of you suffering from random reboot.

Went to CM 10 nightlies. Still rebooted.
Went to CM 9.1 stable. Still rebooted.

You are right dude. I also had frequent reboot issue with ICS Roms. Then, I put the phone in download mode and installed v18f(exe). Amazingly, the phone is super stable now. Thanks a lot for sharing the info. Just a question : can I now flash CM10 over this? will it cause reboot?
still not solved: (
I try installing v18f on my Telus P935, this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668476

Sorry, my apologies, I forgot how uninformative the stock display is.
You can get at what I was looking for by installing "System Panel Lite" (free) and looking under "Dev Info," and then the entry under "Fingerprint."
However, skip that and perhaps just go ahead and re-flash the baseband. I don't think it can hurt. Druminst has posted zips that install the basebands with ClockWorkMod at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30451467&postcount=1 You have to go to his "more extensive list" to get to the baseband_flashable_P930_ATT_V18f.zip file.

[Q] Bottom touchkeys quit working

I'm a noob here, so plz don't flame me if this isn't posted in exactly the right place.
A few days ago, the 4 touchkeys across the bottom of my T989 suddenly stopped working, out of the blue. I don't know why.
When I bought my T989 in Nov2011 (my 1st android), I got it from a guy who bought it for his son, but his son decided he wanted an iPhone instead, so it was brand new with box and factory screen protector and all that, BUT already rooted and running GB 2.3.5 Juggernaut 3.1. Until now, I didn't want to mess with it because I didn't know jack and didn't want to f*** up my phone, so I've been operating flawlessly without any rom or FW updates for 14 months. But since it's f***ed up now anyway, it's time to get my android s*** figured out.
In the past few days I've flashed stock ICS 4.0.4 AFTER WHICH the touchkeys functioned normally UNTIL Kies said there was newer system FW, and so I updated to that with Kies, and then they didn't work anymore again. NEXT, I found out about the *#2663# code, flashed back to GB 2.3.5 and succeeded in updating the touchkey FW, but that didn't help. I opened the phone and carefully examined the touchkey hardware and (without removing the screen) everything appears perfect. It's clean and there are no pinched or torn ribbon connections from a screwed up factory assembly. Also, I have had my phone in a D30 case since day one and it's been forever since I've dropped it. Obviously, I don't know for sure if this is a hardware or software issue, but the fact that the touchkeys worked again after originally flashing ICS, and the touchkey lights still flash on at startup, is screwing with my mind.
The only thing left to try that I can think of is to revert to the older pre-Kies-update system FW (which, so far, I prefer), but I don't even know if that's possible. Can anyone give me a clue, or any other ideas? Thx.
I kinda lost track of your troubleshooting but I'll give u a suggestion.
1. Flash cwm 5.0.2.7 recovery
2. Flash darkside super.wipe script
3. Flash slim star 2.2 ROM
4. Flash gapps 10/11/12
5. Flash darkside cache.wipe script
6. Reboot and wait 5-10 min
7. Reboot again and setup ur phone.
If your soft keys quit working again, I would be stumped.
PS. I picked cwm 5027 cuz its what I use and if u have any follow up questions I could answer them. Twrp and others are just as valid. I picked slim star ROM because I can confirm everything works also if u have follow up questions I could answer them. If you do not have cwm5027 recovery then DO NOT used the two scripts I mentioned. Good luck

Okay, so, here's what I did:
Using TWRP Touch Recovery 2.3.3.0
Wiped cache, dalvik cache, system, android secure, and factory reset
Flashed slim star 2.2 ROM
Flashed gapps 10/11/12
Wiped cache, dalvik cache
Rebooted & set aside for 11 minutes
Rebooted & setup
It's weird, during bootload the touchkey lights light up (which they always used to with juggernaut), but only dimly, not full strength. But they don't respond to touch...so far...
I like this slim star rom. It's graphically minimalist, but it's loaded with options.

gapps 10-11-12
I guess the other 2 good things about this rom is that it allows me to have all the toggle controls in the status bar which I absolutely can't live without (only having five in the stock roms is like sandpaper on my brain), but also gives me a navigation bar that allows me to replicate the touchkeys I've lost with a replica software navigation bar directly above that I can set up with the same "touchkeys." It takes up some screen area, but I can bump the screen resolution to a higher density to make up for the lost real estate.
The only problem i'm having is with gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip, even though twrp said it flashed successfully, I don't have the google apps. I tried flashing it again, still no gmail, maps, navigation, etc. (The ones in Google Play I guess are the 121212 versions and aren't compatible.)

If u have the play store then u flashed gapps correctly. Whatever else u want can be downloaded from the play store...gmail, maps, nav.
So ur touchkeys still don't work?

Your device is not compatible with this version
Yes, my hardware touchkeys still don't work. I've been slogging away at this for about a week now and I'm ready to give up.
I would run with this slim-star rom because I can put software touchkeys right above my inoperable hardware ones. Plus I really like the rom.
But I have a hurdle still.
Yes, I have the play store, but...
When I go to download the gmail app from the play store, it tells me "Your device is not compatible with this version" and it doesn't give me a download button. It does that for other google apps too.
So now the hurdle is google apps. Why is play store telling me this? Is there something wrong with how I flashed my slim-star? I flashed from a v2.2 found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109841.

Screen Resolution
Actually, I never updated to ICS via Kies, although I did let Kies flash some type of firmware update. I regretted it immediately.
The fact that I changed the screen resolution from 240 might have something to do with playstore not liking my device. I'm going to look into that. LCD Modder Pro might fix it...

If you come from custom rom, then wipe data and cache partition is required before flashing stock roms. Else some part of last roms remain in system and can create problems.
You can also try by clear data of snote from application setting section.

i had same kind of problem with s note after flashing it with a custom ROM in my gtn 8000. It troubled me alot but finally got the solution by installing languages in keyboard setting.
go to setting>language and inputs >click on settings of Samsung keyboard>choose Handwriting> choose Input languages
u will see lot of languages to download.
download any one of them........................ wait for finishing installation...
Hope it works for u as it did for me.
if does nt work no hard feelings..
I had the same issue, reloaded firmware, clear data and cache with no fix. I thought about to do a factory reset, but just b4 I was going to do it. I suddenly have an idea just flashed in my mind. This is what I did.... go to setting > my device > S pen > put a check mark on the "Open Popup Note when the pen is detached". Then back to the home screen, pull out the S pen and a mini S note will open. Close it and now you should be able to open the regular S Note. It works on my Note 2. Good luck guys.

Lost root somehow, any ideas how?

I turned my s3 off for about a month while I used my note2. When I turned it off it was rooted with twr recovery and running a custom Rom. When I turned it back on the Rom was still running however I did loose all the widgets I was using. Over night titanium tried to run the scheduled backup redo. Then in the morning I noticed titanium said it could not gain root access. I tried other apps that require root and none will gain access. The super user app is still there but says there is no root. It's simple enough to re-root but I'm really curious as to what happened. Any ideas?

Please Specify Rom and Android Version.
In short, if your TWRP recovery is intact try a factory reset from there.
Thanks Persius, I haven't tried to go into recovery since I have to do it manually cause I'm not sure what will happen if it's not there. My computer is broke right now so I'm limited. It's been since the s3 first came out that I installed the Rom so I'm not really sure which one I'm on but it says JZO 54, and it's 4.1.2 Thanks again for your help

Say... Are you sure we talking about an SIII or an S-II ?? That sounds like the 4.1.2 Stock of an S II. What does it say under Settings > About Phone > Model Number ?
Turn off completely then Hit Volumn Up + Home +Power all at the same time. Wait for 3 minutes or so with all 3 pressed. You will see Recovery come on. Let go of all 3 buttons and then do a Factory Reset in the recovery.
Thanks again, under build that's what it says, jzo 54, I think it might be Liquid Smooth. And it is an s3. I will try to go into recovery if you don't think anything will happen if that's not there either. Something else weird I just thought of is I also had some strange kiddie like themes and apps I never put there. It's like someone else used my phone but that's not possible as I saw it every day and live alone. Strange. Any way, thanks again

Yes its safe to Go into Recovery. Go ahead and do a Factory Reset. Let me know how that goes.
Ok, did the factory reset and went ahead and did the ota update to 4.0 I'm going to root again. Do you have any suggestions on a good Rom? Also what is the best way to root these days and best recovery? Thanks Perseus I appreciate your help and advice

I am confused. Wasn't (or shouldn't it be ) your S3 already on the JB 4.1 ? What did you mean by OTA update to 4.0 ? Are you referring to the OTA Update to 4.3 ?
I can not comment on Rooting unless I know which os version you have.
Sorry, was a misprint. Yes, went to 4.3
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So if you still have TWRP then flash Superuser from Recovery. Lookup its thread here on XDA.
However, with the Knox being present and SELinux in Enforcing state, your chances of Rooting are slim.

I installed the official T-Mobile 5.0.1 update N900TUVUFOB6 via Samsung Kies and rooted via Chainfire. I can take pictures okay but when I try to record videos through the stock Camera app, it freezes then reboots the phone, which happens every time! I've tried to install other camera apps from the Play Store but none of them work for video recording. I suspect it's an api issue. Has anyone run into this or know what the problem is? I've even wiped cache and did a factory reset through Recovery but still the same problem. I really need to be able to record videos on my phone, so if anyone has a solution I would be so grateful!

My stock rom I made doesn't have that problem, my wife records my kidz all the time, no issues... try wiping if you left your data, I always wipe all data before upgrading to any rom...
check my signature or in the Tmobile development thread.. completely stock...

Same issue, searching for it since many days, I hope its not a hardware issue.
I tried custom roms as well as stock roms, but nothing worked. Pls help.

I have the same issue. Wiped the entire phone including internal sdcard, went back to stock firmware but nothing worked. Taking pictures works but as soon as press the record button it freezes and a few seconds later the phone will reboot.
Just to let you guy know what I am sure is going on, this video recording damage has been caused by none other than aosp! if you all have previously installed liquid smooth like I did in 3 separate devices
1.tmo s4
And 2 note 3's (one is tmo and one is sprint) I think it is any asop although each person having this damage to their device should answer if they previously installed aosp and specifically liquid smooth.
I was going to assume this damage was only going to happen on tmo note 3, so I tested it on 2 other phones and sure enough they must be forced to remain running asop (the s4 has candy 5) the sprint note 3 currently has the ever so bugging liquid smooth. I also have tried every clean Odin delete everything known to us layman's on the planet and now I am looking for a NV restore. I already tried so sort of a NV item restore Using the dialer *#9090# then pressing Q and then pressing 0000 then option 2,1,2,3 then all with no change. I read somewhere in the xda's grapevine lol about a flash able zip called "Brick_Loop_FIX_afterRestoringBackup" that starts an built in feature that restores or rebuilds the modem then upon boot restores the NV items. I am assuming they are the same thing. Although, with no thought it will fix anything I will flash the zip tomorrow and let you know. I got a couple things to back up incase whatever may happen capin, unless one of you guys try it first, let me know
Haven't heard from the grapevine what protocol, ims or a static rebuild even does except if your imei is all zeros and your don't have any network or stuck in a boot loop after a nandroiid restore I erpose this will fix those couple thing I have read. Although I assume the dialer hidden menu NV rebuild does not really NV rebuild all like it says it does or the all its referring to is really just the first 2 options that are just a couple basic stuffs or it would have fixed my aosp camera damage. Well never listen to anyone who says aosp is all the rave and how you should try it out lol its blackmail to get you to stay on a bugged out ROM forever! LOL

I had this same exact problem and i fixed it finally after hours of research and trial and error. I noticed that my baseband and bootloader was Nb4 even tho i had flashed lollipop, so i ended up flashing stock lollipop using odin from http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile/general/5-0-n900tuvufob6-extracted-stock-t3047672 then after flashing i downloaded the lollipop bootloader and used odin 3.09 to flash that bootloader in BL, and the modem in ap, video camera works now and youtube has been fixed also.
How does one find the bootloader version? I checked and noticed the baseband is in fact Nb4, although looking for the bootloader version I just seen the build is Ob6.

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
it tells everything including bootloader version
OK thank you, I will check it out. what does the baseband and bootloader need to be? I mean what does yours read so I know what files to search for and load using version 3.09?
BL and AP, what do they need to show exactly?
Thanks a lot for the help, if this fixes the video recorder I will post many places that you fixed the problem and link back to this thread. =)
After looking at my current setup it does make sense according to what you are saying if the current firmware is 0b4
And both the baseband and bootloader are Nb4.
Should they all 3 be ob4?
- never mind my son said I am sweating over nothing, just to make sure they are all ob4. If this works I am going to be able to use my camera again! Thanks again!
