Hello great community. I have a yakju version of Galaxy Nexus and my case goes like this :

Meanwhile
Installing Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5
BackUp Files, Contacts, SMS etc

BackUp with ROM Manager ClockworkMod
Install stock ICS 4.1.1 Jelly Bean ( f946a4120eb1.signed-yakju-JRO03C-from-IMM76I.f946a412.zip )
Then
Running ICS 4.1.1 but with these problems :
1. When i go to set a ringtone it open my file browser (ES File Explorer) to select a file (!) and not the common ringtone list. Like there's no ringtones in phone.
2. I restored contacts successfully but there aren't sorted in groups as i had it. (Friends, Family etc)
3. I cannot delete some folders and files in my sdcard (like my rom backup - i have stored this in my pc btw)

1. The ES File Explorer is set as the default application that is opened when you want to select a ringtone.
Go to Settings, Apps, ES File Explorer, then press clear defaults. It should now ask you which application you want to use to select a ringtone.
2. You will have to do this again manually, unless you have your contacts on google or another service.
3. I'm not sure about this. Try deleting them by connecting to a PC.
4. You need to use a new version of SuperSU, I've attached it in this post.
Enjoy Jelly Bean!

Thank you very much! I have another question about the attached app. It's a zip file which contains META Information and binaries in a System folder. So i have to place the binaries at the right place in my phone (obviously at /system/xbin , /system/app ) right? And the META folder goes where?

No do not extract the Zip file!
If you have ClockWordMod installed simply boot into it and use install zip file command from it, and locate the zipped file (on your phone memory).
If you do not have CWM, use fastboot to boot into CWM (you can find that information on some other threads), and install the zip file from there.
Follow these steps: (except with the above zip file)

You have to copy over the zip file to your phone first, then boot into CWM, and install the zip file.

All Good! But i noticed another "problem" now.. in my Gallery i have a folder named "imageDownloader" who contains 700+ photos. I delete them all and after reboot it exists again. What is that anyway?
update: The images belongs to a folder named "07-11-2012_21-01" , it seems to be cached data of the app "Thumb". This folder is created by the backup, is located in sdcard and i can't delete it, even through my pc.. i don't know why :/

Unable to connect to Wireless N-only or 5GGz networks after update
I've been unable to connect to my home network on either band in the 'N' mode since updating to Jelly Bean. I have no problems seeing both networks and it says they're "saved", but when I click connect, it doesn't proceed to "authenticating" or obtaining an IP address.
I've tried several Custom ROMs with the same result, and I've never had this problem with any ICS versions and can regain connectivity by rolling back the update.
I've tried low-level troubleshooting (no network encryption, MAC reservation, multiple reboots, etc.) with no luck. I'm currently forced in a mixed N/G mode on 2.4 GHz to use my Wi-Fi.
There have been occasional reports of this over the last year or so on various platforms, but I'm wondering if there's any software/files, etc. that can be tweaked or looked at to see where this issue is manifested.

I cannot delete some files located in my /sdcard. I tried through "Root Browser" , through my PC... nothing worked :/ Any help please?

(REF) How to "IMPORT" your local Swype language/dictionary - NOOB method

OK, this is a noob guide on how to have your own Swype language on any firmware. There might be an easier way, but this is all I know.
This might be helpful for people using more than one language who wants to try new firmware from different region which might not have his/her local language/dictionary.
Requirements:
1. Rooted phone. I use this.
2. Busybox installed (i don't think it is really necessary). You can download the 1.17.1 version from here
3. Root explorer (download from market)
How to:
1. First, you have to have firmware from your own region. Usually, you'll have your local language/dictionary on this firmware. Since I came from south east asia, I use DXJF4.
2. Now, using root explorer, click the Mount R/W first.
3. Go to system - app and then copy swype.apk (hold long, choose copy)
4. Copy it somewhere else. I copied mine to external SD card (sdcard - sd).
5. Extract copied swype by hold long - copy. Root explorer will extract them all to sdcard/extracted.
6. Go to sdcard/extracted folder, click on Swype, assets, then files. Now, you want to copy ALL of the files in this folder to your external SD card.
7. Now, after you secured the earlier swype.apk (let's called this original swype) and all the contents on sdcard/extracted/swype/assets/files, you can proceed to flash your new firmware (i used DDJG4).
8. After flashing new firmware, get it rooted and installed root explorer again.
9. Using root explorer, copy all the files on sdcard/extracted/swype/assets/files/ to data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod/swypedata/
Overwrite everything (if asked).
10. Then, still using root explorer, click your earlier Swype.apk (original swype) and chose install.
11. Voila, you'll have your "original" sets of language on the "foreign" firmware.
Let me know if this works for you
Looks like a nice find allthough i have not yet tried it.. Maybe i will someday when i get my galaxy S
do not work for me..
I had done until number 11, and succeeded.
but when Swype executed. the keyboard would not come out.

I guess you're using non standard keyboard? Keyboard that is not included on the original ROM?
I still haven't found where to copy/paste the keyboard layout. Sorry

[Q] re-installing HTC Sense apps

Hi Folks
I hope someone can help me out here...
I recently cleaned out my rooted DHD with Titanium backup, removing all Vodafone branded crap in there, but i accidentally also removed HTC Music, lol
Fortunately i made a nandroid backup with CWM, but I'm unable to browse the content as it seems the .bin archive is not accessible/compatible with the standard compression tools (like winrar)
How do i access the archive, and where (what folder on my DHD) do i copy the HTC music .apk to when extracted?
Or can i just re-install the apk with HTC sync?
If it's not possible then that's OK as I'm using Poweramp at the moment.....
thanks in advance!
get a rooted stock rom with your base (1.32, 1.72...) , extract the htcmusic.apk from it and move it to your system/app with root explorer or adb
Thanks for your swift response!
I got hold of a stock ROM (from the development threads here) but have the same problem as with my nandroid backup.. i cannot open/browse the archive content.
Should i use some specific tool to be able to extract/browse the .img archives?
Here you go, extracted it from [ROM] LeeDrOiD HD v2.2.3 [Kernel] LeeDrOiD v2.2.9 .zip file instead of the stock .img, using 7-Zip program for Windows 7 PC. When using it, right click -> open archive -> System / App -> copy........
View attachment HtcMusic.apk
Extracting the apps from a custom ROM is the best and simplest way to do this.
If anyone needs to extract his nandroid backup though, unyaffs (http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/) and cygwin (or a native Linux environment) will do the trick.
Thanks all for your advice and guidance.. i got HTC music back with both the methods mentioned here
At least i know now how to get in to the nandroid archive.
Cheers, R
Gents,
I need your help again...
Now I've managed to get HtcMusic.apk back to my system/app folder.
I've tried to push the .apk with ADB but that didn't work as the system/app folder was read only, so i had to copy the apk to the root my sd stick and move it to the proper folder with root explorer after i changed the folder to temporarily read/write.
But now the application doesn't show up anywhere on my phone - Like its invisible - I rebooted the phone but that has no effect as well.
I can only find it with root explorer.
How can i get it to work again?
Did you change the permissions to be the same as the other files in that directory?
yes i did, like all the other files in that directory: rw--r--r--
but to no effect
Did you try using package installer to install from the new directory or sdcard?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
No i did not try that yet.. i just moved the apk. from my sd/root to system/app as advised here..
Sorry for the dumb question, but where can i find package installer?
edit: Ok i found i can install via root explorer, but it doesn't seem to work.. packet not installed, not even when i change the system/ap directory to read/write and change the apk permissions to r/w/x
Should i try to install the apk via HTC synch on my PC? (although i understood that it is not possible to reinstall sense apps this way)
Hi,
Has anyone an idea what i can try next?
perhaps fixing permissions in rom manager, or installing the .apk via recovery?
And I'm also wondering if the system/app directory is the correct folder where HTC Music goes (because there's also an /data/app and data/data folder where HTC apps reside).. Can someone check and confirm please?
thanks
I think it's safe to bump the thread as more that a month has passed.
Does anyone have an idea what to try next? All my attempts have failed so far.
Would also like to know if system/app is the correct folder where htcmusic.apk is installed as there's also /data/app and data/data folder where HTC apps reside
Ok, im a bit closer getting it to work.
I flashed HTC music in a zip file through CWM recovery - A guy from an Dutch Android revolution site made a zip and advised to flash it via CWM recovery - and the app is back.
the only thing is that it force_closes (com.htc.music stopped unexpectedly)
Fixing permissions through rom manager doesn't work either.
What can i do next?
p.s. HTC music version i'm using is 2.0.0000.278886 - So maybe it's an outdated version?

How to install notification toggle mod

Basically I wanna install that mod I have a rooted r800i. O understand u have to flash the system hi Rom.zip but what apps do I need and how do I install this.....
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
When it says you have to flash a zip file you dont do it in adb you do it from the phone using clockwork mod recovery, this allows you to change system settings easily with one file (the .zip) as i suspect you haven't unlocked your bootloader you just extract the file to your memory card (usually a system.apk file) use a program such as root explorer on your phone, copy the file to the /system/ path change the permissions like it says on the mod page, and move the file into /system/app
restart the phone and it should be there.
However if you unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom recovery/kernel you could just select the .zip you downloaded and apply it to the system, and its done.
I just followed this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207310&highlight=install+in+recovery&page=2
...as was suggested in the notification toggle thread.
All done in less than a minute and working perfectly - no flashing necessary.

How to disable OTA update , I'm rooted

Hi,
I have a galaxy s2 from sprint...I rooted it last month with the latest ver of ICS at that time. (Fh13 i think)
anyway, 3 days, my phone downloaded the OTA update for ICS and it EVEY 2 MINUTES, there is a pop up asking me to install or install later.
I have done the following:
1. downloaded fotakill.apk and copied it to my sd download folder and instlaled/ran...did nothing. ( i cannot copy this file to /system/apps - error: "read only" )
2. tried to disable fotaupate.apk / fwupgrade from applications/all from andriod settings menu... this did not work.
there is no fotaupdate.apk app and no fwupgrade.
So, can anyone help me get rid of this stupid pop up msg ??

I am assuming that you also tried the zip file in the thread about how to disable OTA updates? I created one of the zips that worked flawlessly and it has been updated and I have also used that zip without issue.... Just search Google or this section and yee shall find
Edit: Also you would need root explorer or es file explorer to gain r/w access to your system/app folder to transfer and set permissions.... All this information is out there for you. I understand you may be new but please understand its good to actually read up on your phone before you root it and potentially destroy because you of lack of knowledge.
Sorry man no disrespect just know this is a tricky phone to mess with and you should be careful
ok..i have gave es file explorer root access and i was able to move fotakill.apk to root/system/app and install frm there. i also renamed the .zip file to .zip.bak. i also deleted the ota update file from /cache
also i deleted sprint installer using titanium backup
and deleted systemupdate app
after all this...still.. im getting ota update notification
Go to recovery and wipe cache. Its still in there which is why its still giving you the prompt

Twrp/Root/Exposed/Sm-n900t/4.4.2 internal storage problems.

I'm running running the 4.4.2 bug fixing module if it matters.
When trying to: Download apk's, save pictures, use TB, I get an inability to access proper location error.
(Screens hots say USB storage maybe turned on.)
(TB says that storage/emulated/0/legacy can't be accessed. )
Es and other file explorers show that location as the only existing folder inside of internal storage. ("0").
Nothing else is in either folder.
I want to "restore" (Whether that be create folders, or re-flash)
EDIT: Using "Undeleter" app to recover all Archive file types (Zip, Apk, Jar.) And Image file types (there were like 8 different kinds.) Now my plan is to save it all to internal memory storage/emulated/0
I have no clue what else to do, or how to address the Legacy folder inside if "0".
Thanks in advance.
Also want to upgrade to Sm-900t/TWRP/Root/Xposed/5.0 Lollipop in the future if anyone can link a tutorial.
Would be willing to accept newest update as long as TWRP/ROOT/XPOSED are functional and Multi-Window/Pen-Window are both functional.
You could flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com using Odin. Then flash twrp via Odin. Flash supersu via TWRP to get root, then install xposed.
