why you want to restore system app?

Maybe I have to explain more thoroughly about my problem
I love converting my favorite apps like my Launcher, Whatsapp, Root Explorer, Dropbox, etc to system apps from Titanium Backup. So every time I flash a new ROM I have to install it back from Titanium Backup again, but in stock ROM, every app restored reboot my phone once.. And it never happen on CM ROM. So I'm curious and ended up posting this thread
Hope mastah Phiexz can answer my question

Pretty sure I'm using it right now. Can't remember who made it, but I'll try to find the thread.
That's basically stock but with XXKTK right? Don't exactly know what that means, but mine is the same but is CWM flashable and works on EXT4, and is pre-rooted with certain tweaks that improve performance.

Nope! Just like regular stock, only better. Sometimes though when you press the home button and you were doing a bunch of stuff it'll take a moment for your homescreen icons and widgets to show, but I think that's just the device and not the ROM. Keep in mind though that it really is just like regular stock; you'll still have the Samsung Apps bloatware and the author had to delete Swype and Maps to make room for CWM application, but if you really want them Maps is available in the Play Store and you get the Swype apk easily for free.

I just rooted my phone using this method:

Now i want to install my first ROM. Is there a way for me to backup all my apps and my current stock ROM 4.0.4?
Also, whats a good stable jelly bean rom u guys recommend me install?

If you're going from ICS to JB you should let your phone restore from Play automatically so you don't install any incompatible apps or data. Otherwise, Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox Pro are both awesome for things, RTP just does a bit more.

Agree with the guy above. However, jellybean roms generally arent stable... So its your call.

You can back it up using whatever recovery you're running. CWM and TWRP both do it fine.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Stay away from that stuff and learn to do things the "hard way" because it will help you in the future. Using CWM or TWRP is not difficult at all. Please learn about your phone and ways to fix it before going forward. After being on several different devices and seeing the nonsense that goes on in here from people not taking time to learn there device.
Read up on kernels, adb, restoring all that good stuff... It's worth it

[Q] problem with video chat apps

Hi,
On the i8150 (galaxy w) , I have a problem with Video chat apps.
I tried Skype, Fringe, Google+ messenger. On all of them, when the video is connected, most of the screen becomes blue and I can't see the remote video. The remote side sees well.
I was using a custom rom. So I suspected it and installed a stock rom over. I still have the same problem.
What is the issue ?
Do we have a general problem on Galaxy W which prevents usage of video chat ?

oh guys,
this phone really has no community.
I can't even get a simple reply.

let's take it step by step,
1st ur on stock rom and have wiped everythn (full wipe of data, system & cache) using cwm b4 installing it
2nd ur front cam is working fine using the stock camera app and shots from it r saved with no problem
3rd for skype (i use it mainly, never tried fringe or hangout so no idea for them) it prompts you at first use whether to allow videochat or not (u can also find it in the skype settings menu if u wanna make sure it's checked)
make sure these steps are fulfilled then tell me if ur problem persists

I am on stock rom but I didn't wipe data before installing it.
cam is working fine with stock cam app.
video chat apps work
also connection gets established.
but the screen is blue. No vide is seen.
IF you say that on stock rom you don't have this issue, I'll try to wipe data.

actually ive never had ur problem
wipe ur system and cache as well not just the data and then reinstall ur stock rom using odin (dont forget to do a nandroid backup just in case ur new stock doesnt work so u dont lose also ur data)
p.s. if re installing the stock rom works then dont restore ur backup cuz probably smthn was wrong thr
omg huge edit cuz of stupid fast reading
u cant see the other side but they see you clearly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i thought they couldnt c u thats y i was talking abt the cam.
if thats the problem then u shall try calling different ppl to make sure the problem is from thr side not ur phone

it is not a problem caused by remote side.
I know this because I have 2 Galaxy SIII and 2 Galaxy W.
I can make video chats between Galaxy SIII and Galaxy SIII
But when I use Galaxy W on one end, it just shows blue screen.
That also happens with 2 differen Galaxy W on each end.
So the problem seems to be with my custom rom.
I understand from your comments that if I wipe data and install stock rom, I will have working video chat on Galaxy W.
Btw, Galaxy W stock firmware is Android 2.3.6 and it does not support Google Talk Video chat. Is there a known way to enable Google Talk Video on Galaxy W ?

good luck with the wiping, hope it makes ur skype works fine
for google talk u shall try backing up ur original google talk app then installing another modded one (u can search it on xda or u can try using the stock of another phone but idk if it will work or not)
u can also try this app and tell me if it works for u : Vtok
click thanks if i help you

if u wanna use google talk video chat for 2.3.6 GB then use this http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip
press thanks if i help you

actually the problem is not with your phone.this is the problem of latest update of skype.uninstall the latest version of skype and install previous version.u can search old version in google.

clear application data for Talk then reflash using CWM recovery
or if u know how to use root explorer (or any similer app) and copy files to ur system then u can extract the zip file then copy the talk.apk into ur system/app to replace the original app and copy the .so file into system/lib then restart ur phone

thank you for this instruction but I doubt that it will help. Because:
When I flashed through CWM, it was already copied. If it was not, I wouldn't have problem starting the talk app.
What will differ if I copy using a root explorer ?
Btw, I know how to use root explorer but my i8150 is not rooted. That's another problem. I couldn't root this ROM using the "update.zip" given in rooting instructions on the forum. Do you know another method to root ?
thx.

1st i guess u shall be rooted so u can apply the talk modification zip
2nd if ur using the update.zip from the original rooting thread then u must have stock recovery to be successfully rooted
3rd u can search the forum for an update.zip that can be applied through CWM recovery cuz i can't remeber wr its thread was

Unfortunately this file didn't root my device.
On cwm I install it from the sdcard and no error message is shown.But nothing seems to be installed. No root , no superuser app.
What else can I try ?

have you mounted the system b4 u install the zip ?
if u cant install it through CWM recovery then u have to revert to stock recovery, apply update.zip , revert bk to CWM recovery then install the talk mod

[Q] S4 mini i9195 rooted - NO WiFi Tethering

Hi all,
i rooted succesfully my device following this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 in his first istance and today i do everything again with new version:
Odin_v3.09.zip (if don't have it already)
recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.zip
GT-I9195_RootKit_v2.zip
Rooting is OK but still no WiFi Tethering (both version): the net is visible but when try to access the devices go in waiting for minutes without connection (tried with other android phone, ipad and win7 pc).
Thanks in advance to the beneficent guy who want to answer me

Hi, i have rooted it that way too. And mine teethering works.
Sorry there must be another Problem. not rooting itselve

My tethering works too. Just used it to download a massive 1.5gb file over 4G.
Try wiping your cache and flashing the latest nightly?

Sorry for the noob question but what's "nightly"?

Oops my bad. Thought you mentioned that you flashed the custom ROM. The nightlies are of the custom ROM currently being developed by arco68, CM10.1.

Referring to the this post in first version there was some wifi issues, i guessed also in second.
Any other have save problem?
I have to repair my phone? :crying:

The link you pasted is for rooting. The nightlies is a cm10.1 custom rom thats being updated 'nightly' or atleast once a day. Your problem however is based on your firmware and not because of root access. Try to flash to CM10.1 (26-08-2013 version) and see of your problem still occurs.
You can find it over at the 'GS4 mini Android development' section. (sorry cant link you atm because of xda app.)

ok, I understand the difference between my rooted stock rom and the CM, what I'd like to know is if I flash stock not rooted rom to trying tethering I lose everything?
Then can I return to this rooted version?

I'm not sure If you will lose data. Since I don't know if it'll format the cache /data folder and dalvik in the process.
If I for instance update my CM to a newer CM i will not lose my personal data (I do that through CWM recovery without wiping cache or dalvik), not sure if thats the same for stock to stock flashing (which you do through odin), but I believe you're safe.
Last but not least you can always flash back to the prerooted stock rom If ofc you have the firmware (with backup) or do the rooting process yourself which is fairly easy.
Or like whosat mentioned before, flash to cm10.1 (which imho is better than Samsung stock roms).

I see now, perhaps mentioning debloating in your first post would be great!
The AllShare apps is the cause of your problem, like most AllShare plugins it uses the sharing functions of the phone like Wifi tethering and the other Samsung connectivities of which most of them is considered bloatware. Removing them on stock firmware will cause some programs to not work propertly as the system still thinks the application is installed (integrated into os) while you've deleted the system/app apk from your device.

Many thanks for this input, i'm trying to restore that 2 app with ES file manager but with no fortune:
- ControlShare Service was installed like a 3rd part app in /data/app
- FileShare Service return me "impossible to install"
I've also tried to brutally copy the 2 files in /system/app but it wants work (i noticed that in system/app there's a file named "AllshareFileShare.odex")
Can u plz tell me where r this 2 apk in your rom?
Thx

I know this is the most secure way but not the fastest flash, root, remove (and i don't know if every set and every data stay in its own place).
So if someone can spend 2 minutes for me i'll be very graceful :angel:

Solved!
re-flashed stock rom, re-rooted, re-debloated (this time keeping Allshare apps ).
What a mess...

GJ, that was the only way im afraid. Simply reinstalling system apps wont do the job. Good that eventually things worked out well for you.

I WAS WRONG!
Now i controlled every step and the guilty is the rooting procedure:
flashing stock rom -> ok
flashing rootkit -> ko
nothing else in the middle.
How it's possible this is a only mine problem?

Finally (after tens of attempts) i understood:
the smoked gun is in the right hand of avast (its firewall), even using white list method and (obviusly) not blocking any system app.
Is this a notorius fact?
