Gtalk missing after update - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I get back gtalk? After last official update hangout (what I hate) installed it by himself and now the system app .

My best guess is to find the old apk file somewhere and install it. However I think you need to have Hangout removed first - which means that your phone needs to be rooted...

[Q] messaging

Hey guys. So I was in terminal deleting the stock apps that I don't need to have and one of those apps which I deleted was the stock messaging app, I did this because I was using hancent. Well now I am not receiving any pictures.
- It all started after I deleted the stock app, I am not sure if it started immediately after or a while after
- I was using handcent and I noticed that I was getting the pop up received thing and the quick reply option but in the actual handcent app under each conversation the incoming message was not there.
Are there any suggestions to fix this or knowledge about this topic? Do you need to have the stock messaging app in order to have other messaging apps work? I can send pictures and texts; i can receive texts but not pictures...
You need the stock app. The 3rd party apps just piggyback off it.

Like I said before, just reflash the Rom you're using and start over. Nandroid is your friend

or manually push it. if you tell me what rom you're running, i'll make you a flashable zip. also, did you delete the messaging.providers.apk or the messaging.apk?
nvm i can just make a zip with both.
Hope you got it fixed. That's hard one to pick which forum it goes in lol either here or the Q/A.
I am using the stock rom. I just wanted root which I used unrevoked 3 to give me root. I removed messages 1.00 and messages wiget 2.2. I removed them with titanium backup. Thanks..
here you go dude. stock mms apk pushed to system/app by this zip.
I found the stock app and installed it...It worked...thanks

[Q] Android Market on CM7

I've been googling about how to get the market in the CM7 rom for about two weeks , first I downloaded the market as a normal app , just got the apk and it doesn't work , then I read about that "gapps" package that I've flashed and no market appeared , I've just got three aditional applications : google search / car home / news and weather.
Looking for help getting thr market , thanks in advance.

Here you go. The newes Android Market. Just install the apk file on your phone.
You can complain about the absence of market after doing two things.
One is flashing the universal Google apps package for cm7 from recovery. And the second is signing into Google account on your phone. I hope you have done both.
And simply flashing the apk file may not install the market when there is no market on phone.
You can also check with a file manager whether or not there is "vending.apk" in the path "system/app".

[Q] Superuser upgrade

I got a superuser update and while updating one day it updated succesfully.. now all of a sudden ts prompting update again and its not updating.. its throwing a update failed error message.
Anything that needs root access like titanium says cant get root acces..
whats going on?
The kernel you are using may not have the proper signature to update to the 3.0 binary. You can try the superuser update fixer from the market, and then update the binary, or just uninstall the new superuser from the market to revert back. I find the update fixer works temporarily for me untill I reboot, then it tells me to update binary again. I just reverted back for now.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I had a similar issue, where I would get something like "Obtaining root access: Failed" whenever I tried to update the binary file. I would also get a random FC of Superuser.
I uninstalled Superuser to get to the original one when I rooted my phone, and updated again via Market. It updated the binary file fine now. Hope that helps!
Note, I do also have Superuser Elite, but I didn't modify that at all.

Had this happen a while back. Just clear the su cache and re-try, that should fix the error

Check the market, they've been updating the Superuser app, like crazy the last few days. I've now had about 3-4 updates (at least one per day).
Uninstall the update then unistall the super user app. Reinstall the super user app, reinstall the update, and then try again. This worked for me.
I had automatic updates enabled, I think it screws it up. So uncheck it and manually update it whenever it needs to be.
Here's a quoted answer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18212299&postcount=2646
styles420 said:
The developer of su stated on his website that the binary cannot be updated if it is installed in /sbin, because that directory is actually a part of boot.img, which remains read only even if the system partition is mounted with read-write access. This is exactly how it is installed in SRF 1.2 (and probably all earlier versions, as well as several other Epic roms).
Rom developers will need to change the su install directory in order for the su app to be able to update the binary.

But if you're using a stock setup, perhaps one of the other answers here would be more helpful.

Google Now

When i try to update google now i get an error saying package isnt signed correctly, delete previous version. I renamed the quick search box apk and tried installing Google Now thru the play store and i get an error saying incompatible update. Anyone else getting this error and how do i fix it?
Thanks
Try different gapps
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
That happens sometimes .. If your using inverted gapps it won't update. Do like above and flash a different gapps package.

If u have Titanium Backup just uninstall Google search n download from market
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
I'm pretty sure it is because your GNow.apk is signed. When this happens to me on my devices, I usually go to Settings>Apps>All>GoogleSearch>Uninstall Updates. Then go into the market and it should be there for you and ready to update correctly. If you have inverted like someone suggested above, it won't update unless you do what I said above. Also once it updates, it will no longer be inverted.

Isn't there a way to just install the settings.apk without having to reflash the whole rom?

have you look into your root folder then data/app to find setting.apk, or use titanium backup to convert back to system app
Yes, as i said in the first post i have no backup and the system/app folder doesn't contain any settings.apk. It disappeared completely. I also looked for it on the web but no one seems to have uploaded it online. This is the reason why I have posted here.
Please can anybody help me? I can't believe no one has got this phone here on xda..

Hi, I have linked the SecSettings.apk from stock 4.1.2 xxlsw.

Thank you very much! But i'm not missing "SecSettings.apk" i miss "Settings.apk". Don't you have one in your root folder?
There is no Settings.apk in any folders. Is your ROM definitely Stock Samsung 4.1.2?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I looked for SecSettings in my folder and i think i confused it with SecSettingsprovider..so maybe the settings app is just called secsettings (unlike many other phones) i'll try to install your apk!
I downloaded your application and it seems to be what I was looking for! But I can't install it in way! How do I install it?
Use a root explorer and copy it to /System/app and set permissions in the usual manner
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I moved the apk to system/app and set the permissions, then rebooted, but it seems that it doesn't work. I tried in many ways. I installed it from rom toolbox, from root explorer, from "system app installer", but despite every operation and installation gives me a succes message as response, nothing happens. There is the file in system app, but every attempt to open the settings fails with a force close and there is no icon in my app drawer.
Do you have the secsettings.odex in your /system/app?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No I don't have any SecSettings.odex, I only have apk, even after the reboot.
Copy both the SecSettings.apk from the previous link and the SecSettings.odex from this link, set permissions and reboot again.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It didn't work. I used every combination on this world for the permissions before rebooting (including rw-r--r-- and also rwxrwxrwx) but nothing happens, the app doesn't result to be installed. (I attached a screenshot of my file manager showing that the files actually are in the root folder)
Hmm.. I'm stumped then. I can only suggest you reflash your firmware
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I just read on google news that a new update is starting to roll out for the s2..do you think updating will solve the problem? Either by using OTA (if it still works without settings) or kies..
