HELP!!! URGENT!!! System apps missing! - LG Optimus G (International)

I have the E975 model. It is rooted and on stock rom. Today I installed the nfc task launcher app. I tried to turn on nfc from the status bar but it wouldn't so I went into setting and alas, to my shock the nfc setting were completely absent from settings. So I went into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik cache. To my horror after I booted up the settings app itself was missing and I could not access it whatever I did! Someone Please help me! I cant even factory reset because I have no access to the settings app! I used a file explorer and checked to see that the apks are present in system/app and they were. Please help me!!! :crying:

Are you sure theyre not just disabled?

Framework res theme.. all new icons

UNTESTED ONLY TRY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING UNTIL SOMEONE CONFIRMS WORKING. You should know how to recover phone.. all I did is switched png files for you..I left all xml files untouched... In thanks for the system dump.. Made a theme for you guys to try out... Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do to your phone or sdcard. Must have root. Use root explorer or super manager to replace file. Make backup of original first... You should sign file and set correct permissions.. Again do not try,unless you know what you are doing or know how to recover phone

Tried that already actually. Just keeps bootlooping.
Tried a factory reset just now too. Same thing. Crap.
What about lg mobile support factory reset... When you replace files you should use signapktik to,sign apk and also before replacing... check old file for permissions and then set new files with same permissions. Only thing changed in res.apk is around 40 png files. Left the core alone. Usually have to wipe cache also. Supermanager apk in market has wipe cache option

Trying that app but the lgp930 is not listed in the recoverable section.
I don't know then bro... That's why I put untested... To scare people away that haven't done these things a lot since you guys don't have cwm mod yet.... ive edited and made tons of frameworks....so I kinda know what to do and not to do. Whenever messing with any jar folder files.. Everything needs to be put perfect and even then it can cause problems... You shouldn't have problems swapping them out at at&t since your factory reset should have took away root

when you use LG software updater, it said "you already have latest software, so you dont need to update" and said "this model is not for S/W update"
i used to have sony x10, i can reflash the phone EVEN i using the current/latest software!

You can usually use the software you mentioned to recover a phone too, but the nitro isnt supported yet. erg.

Er...what is this?

I get these things almost every night, lead to websites that don't exist (or may be blocked by ad-away). Any ideas?
EDIT: This will still happen even if I've just wiped and have no apps other than stock ones installed
Wow roms do adds now

You have an app that is giving you ads.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
it's not the rom that's doing it, it's an app that's been downloaded/installed. whatever was the last app you downloaded from market before those ads started showing up is the culprit. by uninstalling the app(and possibly rebooting your phone) the ads will go away.
however, if it's an app you insist on having, you can download an app like 'Ad Blocker' that will allow that particular app to continue running on your phone while blocking whatever "ads" come with it.
See my edit. I have ad-away installed, it does the same thing as ad blocker

Not in that screenshot, but yes after a full wipe with no apps installed/restored it does it too
when you wipe the phone, you do the standard 'factory reset' as well as format /system before you install a new rom right?
it could be something that was installed to /sdcard that's causing it as performing the 2 options above would not work in this case.
Are you running a custom rom

Yes right now I'm running AOKP, but it started even before I rooted it.
hmm... i'd say if you're willing to, format /sdcard
considering that /system is getting completely wiped it's obviously not there. has to somehow be something that made it's way onto the sdcard.

If you wipe data and flash a rom from this forum and reboot there is zero likelihood of that. Uncheck settings > backup and restore > restore blah blah.
If that isn't working you break your phone number

I would call myself an experienced ROM flasher, I literally do not understand what's causing this. I'm not restoring automatically when I set up again after wiping, I don't think something can just autorun itself from the SD card. I'm thinking it might be some sort of verizon spam, similar to the "Ozmail" thing maybe?
there is another thread here that's similiar.
if it is 'airpush' related, i'd probably try out Airpush Detector or Addons Detector

[Q] hey all, how do I keep my PA settings when I update

Just curious if someone could help me retain my PA settings ie: dpi, colors and such.
I havent tried everything I just hate always having to go to restore and then flash again.
that being said all I've really tried is saving data/data/paranoid settings to my sdcard and then transfering the file back after I flash...once done PA no longer works.
Is this what I ask as simple as just a PA back up in tools and then its all there when I flash?? this I havent tried as of yet.
thanks,
Bump? Still nothing if I do PA backup, it says its placed on my phone but nothing appears in the back up section

[Q] Titanium Backup Pro can't uninstall stock apps

Hi,
I recently updated my Hercules T989 to Jellybean 4.1.2 via Kies. When I was on ICS, I could easily uninstall the t-mobile stock apps(or any other stock apps) using Titanium Backup Pro. But after upgrading to JB 4.1.2, I cant uninstall a single stock app. I tried updating Titanium backup pro from 4.1 to 4.5.6 but its still the same. It can freeze the apps but one app: 't-mobile accounts' unfreezes itself. I dont know how it happens. By the way, the device is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Are you sure Titanium Backup has root permissions? Check your Superuser app log and make sure they're being granted. You need root access for Titanium Backup to be able to remove/freeze system apps (like the built-in stuff).

Yes, I have rooted my phone after I upgraded the firmware through kies. I checked my root status using the app 'Root Checker Basic'. It says my phone as proper root access.

Yes, I have checked it. TB has been granted root permissions. TB successfully freezes all my system apps. But only one app - "T-Mobile My Accounts" unfreezes itself automatically after a while. I dont know how or why that happens. All my other system apps stay frozen except that one single app. And about uninstalling, none of the system apps can be uninstalled. When I run the batch operation to uninstall, it shows the progress bar but gets stuck at 0%. No progress at all.

Sounds like you are using a stock based ROM then. So you will have to live with that app. Otherwise you may cause problems by trying to delete or freeze it. Anybody that is determined to remove it, you can use a root based file explorer and delete the apk from the system/app folder. Backup the app somewhere by copying & pasting it in another folder, so you can replace it later if you start experiencing issues.

[Q] No OTA update after rooting and the again after unrooting

Hello
I rooted my Optimus G F180L and uninstalled some of the preinstalled apps.
Today I got a Software Update for my phone which I downloaded and was about 50 Mb.
When I tried to install it gave me an error that a rooted device couldn't be OTA updated.
Then I removed root from the SuperSu app but it gives me the same error as if it was still rooted.
I'm guessing it is because of uninstalling those apps.
If that's correct now I'd need to return it back to stock which i don't dare to do without being 100% sure I wont mess it up.
Would a factory reset do the work (how to do it?) or do I need to flash the whole stock ROM?
Any help highly appreciated!!
try to factory reset your phone, if that don't work maybe reflash or check with your phone carrier before doing anything else, maybe they haven't received the update yet.
Because when i run stock rom, i could receive OTA updates even while it was rooted
Would the factory reset bring back even the apps I deleted?

yes, a factory reset brings the phone back to stock, which is how it came out from the LG factory, but only if you run the original LG rom ofc which you do.

you can use a program like Titanium Backup (it requires root), if you wanna save data of the apps you got installed, if you wanna save contacts you can export them to an xml to storage and copy out, and sms' i personally use "SMS Backup & Restore" from Ritesh Sahu does the job good, as long as you don't got any drafting messages.

hmm, that i never have seen before, but if you want you can download the newest original firmware here: http://lge-phones.org/check-latest-lg-official-firmware
used the site a couple of times myself for my E975 and then flash the whole rom.
because i never had a problem, but maybe it's just different in some countries.
but if you decide to use LG's flashing tool remember to backup your data on your computer, or else they will be lost because LG's tool formats the phone totally.
I got similiar problem when update ota to v20t. How to solved it?

you have to relock ur bootloader to install ur update...best way is to flash the kdz, do hard reset, install update...everythin will go fine..
