Accident - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I accidentally deleted the download file on my phone from titanium backup now i cant go on android market plus also whenn i start up my phone i get something like a gapp error

Deleting the download folder shouldn't effect the ability to open/use the play store.
The only thing I could think of that should fix the issue, is to do a full wipe and eflash the ROM (and gapps if required for the ROM you are using).

Or try to just reflash gapps first.

I think he deleted the download apk which is an essential system component. If reflashing gapp doesn't work, I would suggest reflashing the ROM.

Reflash the rom wothout wiping, then flash gapps. It won't delete anything of yours

i have stockorama...I'm sorry I'm new to this so I would have to go into the zip and find the gapp folder then flash it???

The ROM and gapps are two separate zips. Flash the ROM first,then gapps package.

There are no gapps zip for touchwiz ROMs, the apps are already included in the ROM.
Do a full wipe and reflash the ROM.
You could just wipe cache and dalvik cache, but I would recommend just doing a full wipe and starting over to avoid further issues.

+1 didn't think about it being a two ROM. Been on aosp for so long. Lil. Yeah always nice to start fresh and clean, especially after something goes awry.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

none of that worked =( luckily i had a backup of my phone before stockorama but now when n i try to readd stockorama doesnt work or if i do get it to work google play store doesnt work =(

also it just reboots into recovery each time but also during the installer it doesnt download any google apps

Touchwiz comes with the playstore and other samsung apps. You flash gapps when you are using an aosp based rom like jellybean. If reflashing the Stockoroma rom does not help my only suggestion is to download stock rom and firmware and then from there reflash the Stockorama rom. I'm pretty sure there is an easier solution to this but that is what I would try.

its a zip file and i tried to go thru the manager like i did my elite hd theme but it didnt work..
Older miui version have issues with theme manager. I tried 3 and worked only on one of them (beleive last pne but not sure). Theme must be .tmz or .tzm -,not zip and does NOT install with flashing like sense.

i got it to work.....I appreciate the help!!
Just for future reference, it never hurts to clear your cache or dalvik. I do it whenever I flash anything...or sometimes just because it's been a month since I have rebooted.
is there any benefit to clearing your cache or dalvik after deleting anything from the sdcard?
or should this be done regularly?
Just curious.
Thanks.

Here's the way I think of it...some flashable things require it (and usually say somewhere), but you don't HAVE to do it if your phone is operating normal, and your not flashing anything...BUT, it never hurts to...and the rest is me just being anal.

CM7 App help, please.

I recently flashed cm7, works great. The only thing I'm having trouble is with the apps. I can't download the apps I had previously from the market because It says I have them installed already.
So how do I fix this/restore my apps?
thanks
Try and clear data for the market app and see if that works for you.
Erm, how exactly?
If you go into settings and then applications. Find market under all and click clear data.
Part of my problem is that I don't have the market app installed
Did you flash a Gapps package when you flashed your ROM? That will give you Market and other basic Google apps. I believe CM is packaged without an integrated Gapps loadout for legal reasons.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
No I didn't flash Gapps, I just installed market via apk, cleared the data but I can't use the market cause I cannot set up a profile that its asking for.
How would I go about this Gapps package?
There was no data to clear anyways.
About to try this
wipe data+cache
flash cm7
wipe data+cache
flash gapps
If you wiped system, cache, and dalvik cache before you installed CM7, you shouldn't even need to wipe. You'll just reboot into recovery and flash the Gapps .zip just like you flashed your ROM.
As far as finding it, I'd just Google "cm7 Google apps" or "cm7 gapps", you'll find a download link for the .zip. Keep in mind that, unlike the ROM itself, the Gapps package isn't specific to one model phone.

Thanks I'll try flashing gapps
It worked great, now im getting a server error in the market.
Also getting a network error trying to use weather
It broke my internet, completely. 3g and wifi

Which cm7 version are you using?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
In that case you might want to start from scratch:
Boot into recovery -- nandroid backup -- factory reset -- wipe dalvik cache -- install cm7 -- flash gapps.
And yeah, check to make sure you're using a current stable cm7 build.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
What version of CM7 did you flash?
depending on the version of cm7, i would flash one of aero's kernals
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7717-kernel-aeroevan-vivow-kernels-for-aosp/
v8 needs to be for 7.2 otherwise, flash .7 version.
7.2 + Aero kernel .8 is an amazing combination. Do that!

7.1.0.1 stable is the version im using.

You can try using titanium backup or another like it. Or restore the data partition from your nandroid.
BUT!, I wouldnt recommend this. You are trying to go from jb to ics while keeping the apps and data you had while in jb. Ill bet this is exactly whats causing it to hang. you will be much better off and have a more stable system if you do a clean install.
Copy all of the apps you have in /data/app to your external sdcard. Then reinstall from those.
When ever making a jump from one os version to another it is always best to do a clean install.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Just wipe cache, clear dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset. Dalvik cache is located under advanced. Those are the steps to flashing ROM'S. If you don't have Titanium Backup from the market, I highly recommend it. Any apps you downloaded from the market will automatically restore after you sign in. But if you are stuck, just to the 3 steps above in CWM. Or just flash a older ROM you might have stored just to get back to normal. Hope this helps. Good luck brother!

[scripts][Tools] Infamous.Super.Wipe and Infamous.Cache.Wipe for Jelly Bean 4.1.2 TW

Ok guys, these are modded versions of TDJ's tools to add the preload partition. This should allow you to wipe cache and dalvik without jacking up the symlinks. Also for you guys having issues installing a ROM, the superwipe should fix that. First flash the ROM and reboot (important), then if you are having issues flash the super wipe and then the ROM again. Reboot and you should be good.
Thanks again TDJ!!! You rock bro.
Note to other developers: Feel free to link here from your thread, just don't re-upload them please. Thanks
Everyone else: if you see these uploaded anywhere else please let me know. I have no problem with others linking to these but do not want them uploaded anywhere else.Thanks

I used these scripts installing a ROM and I am having very serious issues. I was using Clockwork and when I rebooted I got stuck in a boot loop. I booted back into recovery but I was not getting fully back into recovery. I tried several times. I finally ODINed back to stock but I can't get the ****ing phone to boot up. It gets toa popup that says ""unfortunatley google partner setup has stopped" and then if I clear that "Google account manager has stopped", "google calender storage has stopped""unfortuantely the process com. android.phone has stopped". ****. I have tried ODIN to 3.5 stock and 4.0.3 both having similar issues.
Anyone have any idea, may have absolutley nothing to do with these scripts but any ideas would be very much appreciated.
What are you running and what are you trying to flash? Wouldn't be the scripts as they only wipe, format, align the partitions.

I was running CWM 6.0.2.9 touch and trying to flash the StockWalk ROM. I don't know if you have seen something like this before but it seems like I am totally unable to install any GAPPS even when flashing stock ROM in ODIN. I had flashed the same ROM before attempting to use the scripts, the reason was that I was unable to add my google account (may be a defect in the ROM but others are saying they have not had issue).
*when I say install GAPPS I am just refering to the ones that install on TW ROMS, I am not flashing a GAPPS file of any kind

OK so I thought I knew enough to not feel like a noob, but here I am with three questions.
First question is what is a "preload problem"?
Second question is this will only work on 4.1.2, and not 4.2.2 (CM 10.1)?
And the third question is will using the original DS wipes mess something up?
T mobiles 4.1.2 loads a preboot partition. Wiping cache with anything but these scripts also wipes these partitions. This script is modified to not do that. No preboot partition = boot loop.
Thus, if you're on anything BUT Tmobiles 4.1.2 you don't need this script and there's no advantage to using it.

Can't connect to camera error

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340858
Hi I was trying out the new 4.3 camera and this happend.
I downloaded the apk. It couldn't install so I backed up the original camera and installed the new camera. After installing the new camera freezes, everytime I open the camera again it says Camera could not connect. So I uninstalled the new camera and went to titanium backup, but the backup wasn't there, so I went to system/app but there was no gallery or camera app. My last hope was gapps. I went to recovery flashed gapps, wiped dalvik/cache and still no camera or gallery. And also before installing the new camera I disabled the old camera. I tried to reset app perference but it did not work.
EDIT: Factory reset did not help.
Sounds to me like the problem is you disabled the old camera instead of deleting it outright. You have to completely remove it for the new one to work. I just did a quick backup of it and uninstalled it. Installed the new app and its working perfectly. No having to click focus before taking a picture or anything :good:
Can anyone find a working camera for 4.2.2? I have been searching for hours. Every camera I install, I get can't connect to camera.

Why not flash rom/gapps again in recovery? I'd wipe cache & dalvik then flash and reboot. This should restore the camera and will only take 2 minutes
I just reflashed the whole ROM to fix it.

you dont have to do a full wipe for this procedure. simply wipe cache and dalvik the flash the rom and gapps. this will replace the (rom) packaged camera that has been removed. you have to flash gapps when you flash your rom. thats the only reason you're even flashing it at this moment.
