So, after I've rooted my phone, I deleted some preinstalled apps and system parts like, when you slide the pad, the game menu appears, I've deleted that, and now, as a potential buyer showed up, I need to make it like new, but the factory reset won't return any apps and system parts.
So, is there a possibility like an os reinstall or something else, to get everything back as it if were just from the store?
-Thanks
Look for an original ROM file in .ftf format and update the phone using Flashtool. You will have all the preinstalled apps in a clean system.
You will probably find the .ftf file you need in the OP of this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399

The tread says it all, So I rooted my phone and uninstalled amazon mp3 and city id via titanium backup. What will happen when I go to update in the future. Is there a way to add these applications back without doing any flashing?
What are my options to be able to update via OTA without having any issues?
I have tried moving the cityid.apk to the system/app folder and installed it from there, but it just installed as a normal application that can be removed.. I figured that I need to install it as a system application. I now know that I should have just renamed them.
Thanks

Amazon MP3 is in the Market. You should have rooted, used ROM Manager to back up your system, and then removed bloat. Most ROM's have these items removed, some still use CityID or another version that does the same thing.
My suggestion is if you are rooted, you can backup your apps and such, just run another ROM.
I couldn't find CityID in the Market, but various ROM postings may have the apk for download if you wanted to re-add it. I would check those postings to see if it is listed there, and make a directory to move the files to if you think you may need them again! Prevents headaches, especially if they are needed due to corruption or something weird.
Correct me if I am wrong, the only reason I wanted to restore these applications was so I could update when honeycomb or whatever the new Update is going to be.
With that being said, could I just downgrade my phone using the PB31IMG.zip , that would wipe everything out.. removing root, and it would bring back original files that were on phone ( city id etc.) then the phone would automatically update itself over the air? problem solved?
You could just run ruu on it if I'm not wrong

Well now I am really confused, the cityid.apk file just randomly showed back up in the browser... so i went and looked and it says it's a system app and wont let me uninstall it now... haha... this is so weird, so now I just need to find the original amazon mp3 then i will put it back in there and see if that works.
Is anyone able to get the Amazon Mp3.apk and upload it and send to me. I would like to get the one that originally came with my phone. Version 1.7.67 it is the one that came with stock froyo
Okay, that's a noob story that I suppose you have heard before. It goes like that:
Just rooted my Play using SuperOneClick and, using Titanium Backup, uninstalled all the bloatware.
Problem is, I also uninstalled the International Keyboard - by mistake, I was just looking for the Chinese one. That means, my phone is now left keyboardless!
How can I restore it without having to flash a stock ROM or anything of the kind?
Oh, plus another little problem: whenever I tap the About phone menu, I get a message stating "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
And always get sent back to the main screen.
Any ideas?
You can get another keyboard from the Play store on your computer. It'll automatically install to your device.

That's what I'll do.
Tried a factory reset. Solved the com.android.settings problem but didn't restore the keyboard.
I know there is plenty of free Android keyboards available but, is there a way to find and install the default one?
I think someone will have to upload theirs, but my Play isn't on stock anymore. Or you could restore using SEUS or PC Companion, but then you'll probably lose root. This won't work if you unlocked the bootloader, it will brick it if you try.
So the way arround is probably to do it all over again. Since u already n still hav root (i guess) just start with install a recovery via cwm auto-installer (find it in play store), make a backup via recovery, flash a new .ftf via flashtool, re-root the phone n restore only data via recovery. That should get u started again.
Ok here is the situation: I was messing with titanium backup on my xperia play and noticed some apps that didn't exist (or so I think). They were all red in titanium (yes I know I was dumb for randomly deleting them) and I think I deleted something necessary for installing Apk files.
Now in google play I get error 406 whenever I install something and when I try to install apk files manually in a file explorer it says I have no application that can read this. (Now I can probably manually move packages in root explorer to install things, but that's tedious). So my question is what did I uninstall and how can I fix this?
Also if someone has an apk of what I don't have, please post it. Once I have it I can probably handle it from there.
just reflash the firmware on flashtool. Nice, easy and also covers up the other problems.
It appears I lost my ability to look up my contact info too.
Does anyone have all the stock applications available?

Sorry how do I do this? Btw I do not have flashtool installed.
Get Flashtool and firmware from there. :good:
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything that happens as a result of flashing these files. You decided to flash this script.
This script removes a good chunk of the apps installed by Huawei and left over files like a bunch of NFC files.
The full list is as follows:
Air Sharing
Audio Auto Test
Magnifier
Huawei Swype
Huawei Backup
Huawei File manager
Huawei Sound Recorder
Huawei Theme manager
MMI Testing
System Debug
Huawei Floating Tasks
Huawei Floating Mms
Huawei Log collection service
Huawei MMI Test 5
Huawei Weather Clock
Huawei System Manager
Huawei Power Monitor
Period Check
Exchange 2
Email
Print Spooler
AOSP Live Wallpapers
MusicFX
TTS Files
Themes
Delete-able apps
All of the leftover nfc files
All google apps that can be downloaded from the playstore
Google Talkback
If you want to keep something you will need to edit the updater-script everything is labeled well.

Maybe it should be mentioned that you need TWRP to flash the zip file. Thanks for the efforts, though. I'm sort of dead in the water until I am able to get my unlock code.

LOL. Good point. Sorry about that. It just wasn't very obvious. I guess I got excited and jumped in.
So, does this script removes the app that tries to police the background apps from running? I think it was protected apps under settings? If so.. awesome. we wont have to manually add them after install.
Is it possible that if I was on one of the restricted battery profiles when I ran the debloat script that it could have stuck?
When I first got the phone I put it normal mode and found it pretty good. Even running the Google launcher. However, I have now unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp, rooted, installed MOAB ad blocker and debloated the phone feels slow and janky?!? I figured dumping all the bloat would help to speed it up some. Any suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks,
Justin

Try removing the unnecessary zram operations using the no-swap method at -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...ipt-disable-enable-swap-honor-5x-kiw-t3308321
When you debloated you removed a number of unnecessary processes and now it's trying to use the ram you freed up by keeping more of your apps in memory - with a constant compression/decompression process that adds lag on the 5X (and every other phone I've checked out that uses it).
Huawei - like every other phone maker with a new launch - will also be releasing performance improvements soon. I've tested both of these mods with the update coming next and you'll still want to use them.
The normal power mode ought to be sticking. If the no-swap mod doesn't help then it's probably a good idea to regress back with a nandroid backup, ensure normal mode and then de-bloat and remove swap.
Edit - and be sure to protect all apps in settings so that you get standard Android task management and not EMUI task management.
Is there anyway to selectively re-install some of the apps that it removed? Im curious because I think it some functionality like HwThemeManager_Local removes the ability to change the lock wallpaper. and if any other issues come up that i want to undo. (Can i somehow restore the individual items from a nandroid backup?)
And thanks for providing a nice commented script!

I don't think that you can do it directly.
Right now, it's restore your nandroid backup, modify the script here and debloat again.
I've started into an Aroma installer for this so you can just select the bloat you don't want. That's on the back burner with no ETA yet.
Meanwhile - if you want to wait until later today or tonight, I'll pull the file you want and you can reinstall it by hand.
If you don't want to wait, copy your nandroid system.ext4 to your pc (if not compressed) and rename it to system.ext4.tar - I believe that 7zip will work to extract it to your pc and you can find the file and put it back from there. (And I'm going by memory here so you'll want to be prepared for hiccups.)
There may be a utility for this - I think there is, but can't remember it.
OK - just checked another option for you -
My system nandroid spans volumes.
Copy system.ext4.win000 to system.ext4. win000.tar on to a large sd card.
Check out "ZArchiver"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver
See if you can extract with that, and if you can, repeat for all volumes.
No promises but you'll probably find the attempts very informative.
Thanks for the info. messed around for awhile trying to get something. I found out Titanium Backup has an "extract from Nandroid backup" feature. you select the backup and it lists the apps that you can restore. The only one i found that looked like the theme manger was: com.huawei.android.thememanager i click on that and restore and it takes a long time (which makes me think TiBu is not working right) about 1-2 minutes (but it does eventually say success), reboot and still cant change the lock screen wallpaper. I also copied the system.ex4 files to windows and renamed them tar. extract them with 7zip and it kinda locks up after a bit. it extracts some extension less files. So maybe im missing some additional files, or Tibu is not really doing anything. i tried mounting system as RW just in case. No biggie, i dont think i want to spend much more time on this. Thanks for the info though. Ill take a look again later.

Ok, so I was going to try and just go back to the fully bloated stock, rooted rom.... however I messed up and somehow didn't do a backup first.... so I have nothing to restore. I tried to download and restore the "full Stock" backup from the other thread, however I'm getting errors for no partitions. I then downloaded the factory firmware from Heuawi, but when it tried to install it seemed to be working, but then booted into TWRP and won't go further. Anyone have suggestions on how I can return this thing to stock?

Ok, I was able to get it all sorted out, I just had to calm down, think, and teach myself some new comand line skills hahaha
I downloaded the stock Firmware, however I wasn't able to install it since I had TWRP and it was blocking it.... so I found this tool, Huawei Update Extractor that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 Then used this Extractor to expand the firmware and extract the stock Recovery.img out of it. Then flashed that to the phone via fastboot. Now, I was able to run the stock firmware update via the factory EMUI update app. Once that was done I was able too boot the phone back up and I was suprised to find that it didn't wipe the phone, I guess it ran it as a true "upgrade" instead of a nuke and pave.... BONUS!
Anyhow, then I was able to flash the new TWRP recovery back in place and now I'm currently creating a backup.... which if I had taken the time to do in the first place none of this would have happend. Oh, well... who needs more than 3 hours of sleep..... its not like I work full time and have 5 kids under 5 :silly:
Hope this helps someone who gets flash happy and forgets to make a back up like I did!

Does it work with KIW-L21?

It might. Pre-installed apps may vary by region, the Aroma installer (under construction) is intended to be intelligent about that.
Either way, make a nandroid backup before trying to debloat and you won't be stuck if anything goes wrong.
Worked for the most part.
There were some apps left (mostlygames that came preinstalled as well as Shazam and Instagramm)
"Activvity is not exist in this device" popup when entering Lock Screen in Settings
Hello everyone.
I have messed a little up while trying to install as system app some fake gps apps, and since then, my lock screen has been reset, there is no shortcut and when I try to enter the Lock Screen settings a popup appears with written "Activity is not exist in this device".
I can't really understand why doing that caused that.
I guess, somehow, the .apk about the lockscreen got deleted in the operation.
I am running Fulmics 4.3, I'd like not to reflash the ROM just for this little problem.
Does anyone know the .apk related name file or has another solution please?

How about you do reflash the ROM? No need to wipe data if you flash the same system image. You don't have anything additional stuff you edited on system partition that you would lose by reflashing it, no?
I can't seem to find 4.3 but I assume that 4.1 will work. (mega:///#!HE1QzYoZ!ktj3enhUe0_axivfQFC08jxuDKdo_UZ1gV2NzdZnlig)
Ofc do the backup just in case you get stuck in a bootloop.

Actually i would have to re-set up some anti theft apps installed as system app...and I should reflash the 5.1, then the 5.2, then 5.3, then the N style notification bar...
However, I guess I have found on the rom archive the apk I needed.
It should be LGLockScreenSettings_2.apk and LGLockScreenSettings_Provider.apk found under \system\app, the only problem is that I don't remember how to install them
On the root partition I can't find an folder called "app"...
I guess I'll keep looking for the system app location...
Thanks anyway
