Recently flashed 1.0.5.1 and ran the x2 script. Everything runs fine. This ROM is absolutely the best one I have run on the e4gt. But...I'm missing the phone shortcut. It's not listed in the drawer, and there's no option to add a shortcut or widget to the launcher. I can place calls by opening my contacts or using the direct dial widget. Phone.apk is in /system/app (obviously). I had no errors during the flashing process.
Any ideas on how to solve this? Or to identify exactly what is causing the phone shortcut to be missing? I don't know of any way to reinstall just the phone portion. A reflash would probably solve it.
Mostly a noob.
Thanks!

Navigate to the APK and install it by selecting it. See if that helps.
try re installing the zip

Hey, I recently used the method for installing a gingerbread keyboard on my Desire from here: levelx.me/technology/android-technology/android-2-3-gingerbread-keyboard-for-htc-desire/
however after following the instructions it didn't appear in the menu's or if i tired to long press to select input method. It also messed with all my icons and widgets, totally removing my music widget from my homescreen and changing how the icons were displayed (massive gaps between an icon and the one above it) I was wondering if there is any way to undo this install. I had a look round and couldn't really find anything (either that or my searching fails horribly). If anyone knows how to uninstall a single zip that would be great because at the moment the only way round I can see is to re-flash.
PS: I checked in my applications and it didn't appear there either
Cheers
You have to enable it in settings-keyboard and language. If you already did that and it still doesn't work it didn't install.

Ok thanks alot. Used a different method via downloading an .apk file for it works a charm now
Im running acs frozen rom, my very first rom. I have to say this rom is great. No major problems so far exept for the email fc once in a while which i've read is a known bug. Doesn't really bother me as it doesn't happen often. First question, i've downloaded a few zip files to install but none installed at all. It would just say "installation aborted" when i tried to install thru cwm. Second, how can i change the notification icon for the mms? MMS and email icon looks too similar, it gets confusing. Third, how can i change the mms png file? I already have the png file i want to use, just dont know how to apply it. Thanks in advance!

1. If it is telling you installation aborted, it sounds like you might have a amend/edify conflict. Which ClockWork Mod version are you using? If you are using CWM3 then you can only flash things that are ext4 ready.
2. If you prefer "stock" apps this may not be for you, but HandcentSMS is a great SMS/MMS app. It allows you to use different color icons in your notification bar and use virtually any sound file loaded on your sdcard as the notification sound.
3. I'm not good with .png files so I can't really help much there. What are you tyring to do?
Also - the email FC thing - according to the changelogs over in the ACS Frozen thread - has been fixed with the new version that dropped earlier tonight.
Hope this helps a little!
thanks for the quick reply...
1. i think i did see an error message about edify...if so how can i make the zip files ext4 ready...btw i am using cwm3....
2. i used handcent for a while and i did like it...but i would just want to use the stock mms app...i downloaded an mms zip that i want to use but like i said i couldnt install it...i got the .apk file but when i tried to open it, it would say "uninstall"...i've read somewhere about trying to push it to some system/app directory but im still trying to figure out how to do that...
3. png files....i just wanted to change the stock icon for mms to a different one...just dont know how to install it.
ACS frozen dropped an update tonight?! I have to check it out....Thanks for ur help!
Ok. So I have been reading a lot around many different Forums about the Voicemail Notifications and it also sending an SMS Notification. Seems the quick fix is the obvious which is installing another SMS Agent and deleting the Stock. Problem is is that to me that is like having the check engine light on in your car and just putting black tape over the light or pulling the bulb. yes it hides the notification but still leaves it broken. My question is What files handle the voicemail? Since all custom roms do not have this problem it seems there is a fix somewhere.
Another question is how can there be a rom with no SystemUI.apk? I flashed Elite Rom and I have searched through every file and folder with Root Explorer,Rom Toolbox,ESFile Explorer and Astro File Manager and yet to find the first thing that even as much as says systemUI.
What Rom are you running? Does the voicemail thing happen on Elite Rom? Just block the sms text that it sends you. As for systemui.apk its in system/app, and if its not there try looking in data/sysapp or something similar

At the moment I am running Energy Rom. No it doesn't happen on Stock whether odex or not. Doesn't happen on Elite or a few others either. It happens on nearly all ICS or JB Roms and anything with the newer versions of Sense built in.
As for the other I have looked those locations many,many times. What got me to looking is I do not like the Status Bar and it doesn't have screen capture. I tried to just flash both but no go so I decided to just change the systemui.apk file to one that does work. If your interest is now peeked I would say download and unzip the Rom and search for yourself. There isn't a file or folder I can find that I haven't checked. Also flashed it and checked via root to see if it was a file that I would only find once flashed. Haven't located it in 2 days looking but the Rom does work except I can't change the ui to something else.

SystemUI.apk is right here (see attachment)
Its in /system/app.
As for the ics thing, i cant help you there because i never run those.
Thanks for the screenie but it is Elite Rom with no SystemUI.apk but after much travel through Google Search the best I can figure is that the version used for the Rom doesn't have this file. I read somewhere that 2.1 and before didn't use the file which is what this Rom was based off.
As for the voicemail coming in SMS I found 2 different fixes but 1 doesn't work for me and the other I do not know how to do. First is an SMS to 9999 saying Block 9016. Got a reply saying blocked but the very next message also sent an SMS. Not sure if it is just my phone or no so......The other is to replace the Phone.apk in system/app with one from a rom which doesn't have this problem. I tried many different Roms using Root Explorer to copy/paste the file and recovery to fix permissions but always came up with stopping unexpectedly errors. I did do the wipe cache/davlik also. Is there another step to this process I am overlooking? This SMS 9016 is what is causing me to not use a ICS Rom that is really awesome otherwise. I really don't want to install the bloated GoSMS or HandscentSMS.
So I recently rooted my Note 2 anddddd a few days after playing around with it (without a backup...i know...dumb me.) I am missing the settings apk so, in turn, I can't access my settings. Any one know how I can fix?
Thanks!

Backup your data, full wipe, reflash a stock rom. Unless someone can get you a stock titaniumbackup for the apk (which I dont even know is possible) you are out of luck I believe.
Another thing to check is to open up a stock rom's system/app folder on your computer and find the settings apk, maybe you can copy and past it into your directory with a file manager (es file manager if you need one). I've got nothing better to do right now so I will try it.
Edit: Too many settings apks. You've got to find the missing one
The second options should do it...:thumbup:
Thanks guys. Went with the first option. My next root run will come with many backups. Thanks!

"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
