Hi guys, messed up my girl's phone from doing a search while dialing a number. Totally didn't make a backup while debloating her phone because I removed the same from mine much earlier and it didn't feel broken. She pointed it out earlier.
Looking for the SmartSearch.apk system app from stock GB Arc S. Thanks!

Stock GB does not have such file. There is no Smart Search feature on Gingerbread.

So it seems. I finally got a download of the ftf and extracted the apps folder. I can't figure out which one I may have deleted that removed the dialer's capability of doing some sort of smart search. I guess I'll have to push them all back. :silly:

Don't bother searching. 2011 Xperia devices do not have Smart Search feature on Gingerbread, unless you were using custom apps/ROM. This feature is only on Ice Cream Sandwich and custom firmwares (if included).

What are you using to debloat your phone? It might have the feature disable services which you might have disabled. If not, try this and push to system with permissions rwrr set.

Link2SD. Just root uninstalled what didn't affect my Go when it was GB. Thanks for this! I'll give it a try when I get home.
Edit: No go, bro. Thanks, anyway. Must be a regional thing. I'll look around for the ftf of this thing. Last resort SUS/PCS repair.

I'm looking for couple Widgets for my new Arc.
1) I like to be able to restart the phone with out pressing the power button. My fingers are kind of fat and with having case it's hard to press the button, almost need to use pen or something.
2) Need to be able to blank the screen. Same as above, fingers too fat and sometimes need to blank the screen right away.
Thanks for any pointers.
P.S. I don't want to get nothing that does some extra stuff, just those 2 things (2 separate widgets are good enough...2 separate programs are good as well).
For rebooting via widget, widgetsoid allows you to do that. But you need root to allow that command.
for reboot you can use Xperia Reboot Options widget from DooMLoRD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123576 (root needed)
Widgetsoid also has the option to turn off the screen (root needed).
Darn, all of them need root....new to Android and only have the device for a week and don't want to turn this in to brick.
Now the question, is any one on Rogers rooted with 2.3.3 (just took update couple of days ago). Current build number is 3.0.1.A.0.145.

So I guess the only way to root the device right now is to downgrade?
If so, any one on Rogers done that yet?

I use 'Screen Off and Lock' to blank/turn off the screen.
I've been playing with the thought root or not root, but i'll need to know this few things before taking the final decision.
If i root 2.3.3, will i then still be able to get 2.3.4 and or 4.0 when it comes out, if se will support 4.0.
what does the 4.0.a features have that the 3.0.1.a doesn't have? and what is the difference.
And how easy 10/10 is it to update a rooted phone.
Thats all, i wanna know.
Search is your friend, but anyways...
Unless you have an unlocked/unlockable bootloader, you cannot root v2.3.3 directly.
Rooting doesn't affect updates as long as you don't remove any system files/apps.
e.g. Updating a rooted Rogers phone:
New features: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199597
There's practically no risk since you can always restore the phone to stock using the FlashTool or PC Companion.
Okay, danke. Youve got your thanks up.

A few people have been asking lately;
Use root explorer and go to system>etc>security and rename the otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak
Probably reboot phone for good measure.
That should be it.
Or just disable the Google-Services-Framework in Settings --> Apps --> All
then even the software update option in settings disappeared.

May I ask why people want to turn off the OTA firmware update notification? We are not going to receive it every other day like the Firefox browser.

I think it's not disabled in some roms and people don't want to be bothered getting it all the time (it is annoying). If you're waiting for the rom dev to update to 4.0.4 (Apex) then the official update is of no interest to you. I don't think it would install anyway if you're rooted.

Odd. Check that file again, did it stay renamed (.bak) after the reboot? Maybe root explorer doesn't have su rights.

double checked. the file stayed .bak after reboot.
root explorer has root access and the folder needed R/W access, which it has for the renaming.

this method work for another devices, may be will work on the GN (root need):
open build.prop, find string
Code:
ro.build.description=yakju-user 4.0.2 ...another symbols...
ro.build.fingerprint=google/yakju/maguro:4.0.2 ...another symbols...
...and change it like this:
Code:
ro.build.description=yakju-user 4.0.4 IMM76D 299849 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/yakju/maguro:4.0.4/IMM76D/299849:user/release-keys
it can be a strings from another not updated GN ROM.
I changed 5 strings in build.prop file:
Code:
ro.build.id=IMM76D
ro.build.version.incremental=299849
ro.build.version.release=4.0.4
ro.build.description=yakju-user 4.0.4 IMM76D 299849 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/yakju/maguro:4.0.4/IMM76D/299849:user/release-keys
now it seems to work fine for me. will be testing for more...

That is overkill. All you need to change is the ro.build.fingerprint line.
I have checked and double checked. I have tried everyone's ideas here but none works for me on my rooted stock 4.0.2. I'm still getting the notification to upgrade. I can't upgrade as 4.0.4 will stop the touch screen from working.
Anyone else have any ideas? It's really annoying having the upgrade screen come up while your doing stuff.

You are doing something wrong then. Changing the ro.build.fingerprint in the build.prop file (to the latest for your build) and rebooting will disable the notification.
Your right. Mine is the i not the D version.

Unless you really only want the stock version you might want to try Cyaogenmod. It's stable as can be. It was my solution to avoid 4.2.1.
i bought a galaxy nexus phone over 9 months ago, i didn't know about android then, but now i notice some serious problems with my phone.
first of all i tried a pattern security lock and set the time to immediate but nothing happens ever!!
then i tried to update the android but there is no check for updates in about phone!!
some really good apps won't start on my phone, it always says "unfortunately, .... has stopped" like google play store, yahoo messenger, nimbuzz and some famous games
i tried to update android with recovery mode and again there was no install zip from SD card!
is it a way to solve my problem?
What OS version are you running? Also, what Nexus do you have? There are different versions, some of which are updated by Samsung (or others) and lag behind the Google variety. Perhaps this is why you aren't getting updates.
Being that you are having multiple problems, that probably aren't linked to one cause, I would think a factory reset is in your future. You could try clearing the data and cache for the problematic apps first though.
i tried to use nexus update checker but it says your device is not nexus!!!!
also there is no google framework in app list!!! i have done factory reset but it didn't change any of my problems

What version of the OS are you running? Go to settings > about phone it should say it there, under something like Android Version. 4.X.X
What type of device do you have. I derped the link in my first post, but I have fixed it now. It has info on how to figure out what Nexus you have if you are unsure.

Are you running a custom ROM? Or anything not stock? Custom kernel, recovery, updated radios, deleted or modified a stock app....etc
You may just be best off by unlocking the bootloader (if it isn't already) and flashing the factory images for either takju or yakju.
Was your phone used when you bought it?
When you boot your phone, is there an open lock below the google writing?

now i am running android 4.3 :cyclops:
So this is odd.. Since yesterday a few things happened:
-If I search for apps I have in the play store, I cannot find them. Search results turn up VERY little results.
-If I search for 1 app specifically and click the app icon (so not searching by text field) it says the app is not compatible with my device.
-If I do the same with apps I already have, it says my device is not compatible with this version of the app (even though I have it!)
-My device is gone from the google play store website..
-If I go to my apps in the play store, about 15 of my 200 actually show up, the rest is gone.
I already cleared Google Services Framework yesterday, and after a night, still not fixed..
Now what?
I was planning on flashing a new rom today, will that auto fix it? Because I don't want to flash the new rom, if after that I cannot use the play store to find all the apps I have right now..
Which rom are you running at the moment?

Stock with built in root (also stock recovery). Had it for at least a year now without updating, but I felt it was time for kitkat.
Wow this sucks. I did this, the ultimate wipe and reboot 1 second after:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377514
And after rebooting, my play store keeps getting the same error "no connection". On wifi and 3g even though my internet browser works fine. So I guess that made it worse.. Going to try this now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273994
Didn't work, still no connection.
Now rebooting after deleting play store data.
Will the new rom flash solve this anyway? If so I'll just do that.

Not easy to predict and give a guarantee, but on the other hand: what to loose if you already have those problems?
I would give a try.
Not to forget the most important thing: If you update, you will get knox-enabled bootloader, so you could loose warranty by Samsung with rooting your device.

Yes comes with knox but not enabled so there is no knox counter saying warranty void 0x1.
All custom roms come deknoxed, nothing to fear about knox.
BTW: Knox is in fact only an application to run on business devices of companies. No use and importance for private users.

I'm not planning on updating any time soon and I want 4.4 doesn't REALLY matter which rom.
Can you advise me which rom is most done atm? So I don't have to update in a month again?
Most roms are still in development and change their bases as soon as new firmware is available.
Many of them deal with new S5 features and also Note 3 goodies are inbuilt.
It is totally your choice - not mine - what you need and prefer :good:
