Unable to install back Sys App after removal

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!!!

[REQUEST] {Arc / Arc S} Stock 4.1.B.0.587, supercharged, de-bloatwared and CWM'ed

I was thinking that since Sony, by MHO did a pretty decent job with the latest ICS update .587 for our devices (nothing new yes, but much faster compared to .431), it'd be great if someone with the know-how, would take latest stock ROM, root it, supercharged it and removed bloatware.
I managed to root it using 4.0.3. method (flash-root-flash) and also removed bloatware (using this post as a reference) and baby flies. Supercharging it would squeeze even more out of our devices.
Also, it'd be great if someone could take newest .587 kernel, integrated CWM and governors, maybe unlock CPU. Currently I'm actually running latest stock on ArcKnight kernel 3.5.1 with ArcKnight libs and it works great, although I have a feeling that performance is slightly better on a stock .587 kernel.
I'd be willing to donate few bucks to the one who does it, who else is with me?

yep I would be willing to do that as I am sick of waiting for standard release on my ARC
also very simple idiot proof instructions on how to install it

.587 is incompatibile with V6 Supercharge.

i have this update on my arc s i could root it with the 4.0.3 method and i already have installed the CWM with the xparts apk found on google play i just need the full system dump to begin the modifications

Hallo, yesterday i supercharged my phone xperia arc with latest ICS update .587,
i used v6 supercharger (V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update 11)
i had busy box v1.8.4, while supercharging it asked me about services.jar and services.odex, and it said to me that i had an old one (cause i did supercharged my phone when it was on .487 too) and i pressed to use the old services ... when the supercharge ended and my phone restarted it took like 10 minutes and i saw it was keep restarting and restarting, i re-entered my battery near 30 times and re - opened it but still the same, i tried to hard reset, with all the ways i could and nothing happened, and now my phone doesnt open at all, only restarts and restarts..
Any idea how i can fix this?

[Q] Xperia arc s screen issue,please help

please help
I am weak with English, but I hope you will understand me.
This is a problem with our XPERIA Arc, bootloader is unlocked and installed a custom rom Xperia ™ HD Ultimate 2.0.2, but the problem occurs on the other ROM.
Sometimes it happens that when I pressed the power button, the phone's screen does not turn on the lock screen but remain black but can be seen in the background light illumination.
Mobile phone can receive calls then everything works but nothing is visible on the screen, the screen is touch-sensitive.
Once it was repaired by itself or by pressing the power button several times and sometimes nothing without removing the battery.
I noticed that this is a common cell phone stays on while the charger.
Please help, what should I do?

"but the problem occurs on the other ROM."
What other ROM?
Try format your SD-card and a fresh install of HD 2.0.2.
Btw.. HD 2.0.3 might come today

I went back to the stock rom and the same error occurs, sometimes 5-6 times I pressed the power button to turn on the screen.
Is there a process that the cell phone back to its original factory condition, remain some files modified by installing custom ROMs, no matter if I install a stock rom?

I installed everything according to the instructions for the specific rom. repeatedly tried the same rom.
Many times I have returned to the stock rom.
But the same is happening to everyone.
I looked in the root file and I see that some have even date from 2008. year, is it normal?
Does installing new rom deleted all files from previous rom that was installed?

if the problem why hardwerski happens when a mob in cw recovery mode, and once he manages to turn the screen still works well until you are back off or go to sleep?

The problem is solved
I really tried all sorts of ways, but the problem was the micro sd card needed to be formatted and just repeat the process again and now all is well.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help!

[Q] Unresponsive screen after flashing ROM/Kernel

Hello All,
First time post and as an offering, I will say 'thanks' to anyone that responds in a positive manner to my post (trying to win some friends) :laugh:
Here's my issue, I have an Arc S LT18i.
Unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Whenever I flash anything custom the touch screen fails to respond, i've flashed LupusV7, slim bean 3.1 and 3.2 (with arc fusion 3.6 and 4.5) and Super Jelly Bean. All seemingly start without any issues and the physical buttons work no problem. BUT the screen refuses to work in anyway at all!!
I have made sure I wiped the system, cache and delvak (sp?)
Any help greatly appreciated, I am a NOOB but underneath it all I'm just trying to make the most of this wonderful Arc S...
Anything you want to know, please ask away...
Please help.
Namaste
Ricky:fingers-crossed:

Hello and thank you for the reply...
I flashed stock ICS .587 (world india) from this site talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
Does that count as stock ICS .587?
And then followed the rest of the instructions, the exact same thing happens... buttons work but the touch screen does not!?
Any other ideas please? Or does anyone else have a suggestion?
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to me.

Hello, thanks for the reply...
According to the Slim Bean page, I can use ANY kernel with that rom. But also, if I just have the Lupusv7 Kernel on there, the touch screen doesn't work within that, so not a ROM/Kernel conflict I belive.
I've also tried other Kernel/ROM combinations, same thing keeps on happening. Touchscreen works 100% with a SE restore, stock ROM.
Any other ideas please??

It's best to use the recommended kernel as stated on the ROM thread. Try another kernel and see how things go.

You sure you installed device-specific patch / chose correct phone in AROMA?

Hello,
As previously mentioned, the reccomended kernel is Lupusv7, When i flash this Kernel into recovery mode, all looks well but as it has a touch screen interface this still doesn't work!
I'm presuming that it cannot be a conflict as it's happen before I instll the new ROM etc... the touch screen doesn't even work within the GUI of the Lupusv7 kernel.
I can get multiple ROMS to load with different kernels but so far, none have booted with the touch screen working!!
I am very much a noob but have read loads of articles on how this should be done, unless i'm missing something very obvious which isn't stated then I dont see anyone else having this issue.
Any clues people? :good:
Thanks, Ricky

Hello Someguyfromhell,
I haven't used AROMA, the guides i've been reading haven't mentioned this!?
This is the process I went through:
flashed stock ICS ROM
flashed kernel
wipe data/cache/davlik
flashed rom
rebooted, ROM loads up and the touch screen doesn't work.
Any help you can give me on AROMA, links etc?
I'm looking right now, but a 'leg up' would be great.
Thanks for the reply.
Ricky

here what to do
- Make sure you had installed Official 4.0.4 ftf pack
- When flashing official ftf pack remember to exclude / tick these things:
1. simlock.ta (Exclude TA)
2. Kernel.sin (Exclude kernel)
3. FOTA (Exclude FOTA)
After flash successful, power on your phone and let it start completely
- Now you can start to install any ROM
1.Flash the Recommended Kernel: Vengeance , KTG Anzu , RUSH
2. Place ROM on SD card
3. Power off the phone and boot into CWM
3. Backup and restore > choose Backup
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Mounts and storage > Format /system
6. Advanced > Wipe battery stats
7. Install zip from SD card > Choose the rom
8. if rom uses aroma Follow on screen instructions on AROMA, remember to choose "Unlocked bootloader" and also the correct kernel modules and of course the correct phone model
9. After complete installation tick "Reboot" and let the phone restart
10. Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy ur phone !

Then did you install the device-specific patch?

ok man, you've got the same problem like me
First thing, all roms that make your touch screen doesn't work will based on cm (e.g. cm10, slim, any jb).
and ALL STOCK roms will get no problem.
There's lot of people here got this problem and still has no clue why this problem occure to ours, so sad story.
Someone says that the touch screen firmware sould be updated to the lastest version, but i don't know how.
One solution that i found is, remove the battery to turn off then turn it on to reboot again and again. If you lucky enough, the touch screen will work like a miracle!
and the success rate is also <50% ( based on my experience only)

on all the ROM guides, I have never seen a part where it says i should install a device specific patch, do you have a link to where these may be?
Or even a ROM with guide where it says this? I'm very happy to follow that to get this working. I have no preference to CM10, Slim Bean, Racing Bean etc... as of yet i've not been able to use any of them.
Thanks for the continued response.

This solution is the one that i think it can move some files which related to touch screen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34593771&postcount=23
But sorry, it still get sometimes for the touch screen didn't response :crying:
However, as i mentioned above; you can get ALL jb rom working :fingers-crossed:
But depends on your luck. Just turn it off when the touch screen didn't response, then turn it on again (and again) untill it work.
I hoped that the new linux kernel will solve this...

I have same issue have tried many stock based roms and kernels no problem but any CM based rom I have no touchscreen.
You can reboot and about 1 in 5 times it will work
Maybe it only affects certain versions of the phone. I even tried re-locking bootloader and doing official sony update then tried CM again I tried 7.1,9 and 10
same problem.

Here's where I am...
UPDATE:
So, here is where I am. Using advice from previous replies I have managed to install Xperia Ultimate HD and this is working off of the Lupus kernel without any issues. I'm still unable to get ANY Jelly Bean roms working...
Maybe my device will just not work on JB :crying:
Any other tips or tricks are greatly appreciated, would love to get JB working on here my beloved Arc S.

Any news here?
I have the same issue over here with a colleagues LT18i

I have same problem, touch screen doesn't work on many different kernels... only work on stock kernel

[Q] Xperia Arc boot problem

Hi all, my GFs Xperia Arc have some kind of boot problem.
Battery is 50% charged, the phone boot normal, but when screenlock comes, he weirdly shutdown screen and reboot.
Phone is stock rom, stock kernel, unrooted, unlocked BL.
Dose someone have some advices.

Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) or Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.x)?
Also post, which build are you using, found from Settings -> About Phone, should be the last one.

Okay, this makes it even more strange.
Currently, I can only think of one solution: Download Flashtool, download a stock firmware package (aka .FTF file). As you are using Android ICS 4.0.4, then you might want to search for 4.1.B.0.587 or 4.1.B.0.431 build versions.
Checked my files, I found a 4.1.B.0.431 for Xperia Arc, LT15i: http://www.mediafire.com/download/pzr6phfd19xgbva/LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.7z
You will need 7-Zip to extract the FTF from that. Afterwards, install Flashtool, then look into Flashtool folder (by default C:\Flashtool), install drivers (Flashmode drivers). Further on, open up Flashtool, click the lightning button, Flashmode, browse to the FTF file, then make sure to untick "Wipe data", "Wipe cache", "Wipe apps log". By that, you will keep your personal data in your phone and they won't get lost.
If you have any questions, just ask. Once you are finished, let me know of the results.

Downloading right now, will try.
I will let you know.

Thank you, works like a charm.

Glad that I could help.
