Hello !
I recently rooted my Xperia M (4.1.2, 15.1.B.0.2, SuperSU) and cleaned out a few system apps I didn't want (mainly anything linked to social media stuff).
Unfortunately, I tried deleting the Album app to use one I find better, but it seems the system needs it to set wallpapers.
I re-installed it as a normal app (on the internal storage).
The problem :
Wenever the system tries to access the resizing tool (wallpapers and a few things in apps I use), I get a "com.android.album has stopped working" or "Album has stopped working" message. I looked around, and I believe it is because I deleted the "SemcPhotoEditor.apk", or because Album is no longer a system app.
What I tried :
I tried using a file manager (Root Explorer) to copy SemcPhotoEditor.apk to the /system/app/ folder, but it fails and the phone immediately reboots (same thing with Root Browser).
On top of that, I tried installing a SemcPhotoEditor.apk I got from someone's clean system dump, but it can't read it correctly.
Any Help ?
Could anyone help me figure out how to repair my Album app (I tried re-installing it), or help me install the SemcPhotoEditor.apk ?
PS : sorry for the title, I forgot a "."...

Hi ,
I tried to replace old pre GoogleMaps and youtube apps with the newest from market , not only update..
I mean wanted to stay updated even after hard Reset .
I updated maps and youtube apps from market.
From here starts the problem story..
1- Rom Toolbox creates backups of installed apps in folder (App_Manager)
I don't know it like titanium backup or not !!
2- I copied 2 apps from backup folder .. but their names are different from system apps (Maps.apk - com.google.maps)
3- I pasted them in (System/app)
and deleted system (youtube.apk - Maps.apk) using ES Explorer
and renamed backuped apps to (youtube.apk - Maps.apk)
4- back to apps I found youtube icon but with old backuped name (com.google.youtube) .. and it worked
5- maps also has old name but no maps icon !!
found 3 green android icons .. Navigation - Maps - don't remember the third
6- tried to open one ..was navigation..opened but didn't work
tried to open Maps from it .. but force close to maps .. followed by force close to navigation
tried to open maps from menu but always force close and never opened !!!
7- I decided to delete them and install them - not update - from market from start..then move them to system folder .
I deleted both .. tried to install from market
and Message appeared .. duplicate provider authority
8- tried to search to solve problem and read about packages.xml
in data/system
and deleting phrases containing maps
I did it
but still no good result
------------------
I know that was so stupid to do especially I'm NOOB !!
Please help .. tell me what to do
Now I have No Maps No youtube
I'm Rooted with stock Rom
Remove them completly from system/app folder then install titanium backup now download them fresh from the market.
Once installed, open titanium then look for the apps you downloaded eg maps.
Long press it and a menu pops up, click convert to system app.
Follow the same procedure for all apps you want to update or if you update an app look in titanium and it will show (updated) next to it, long press and.select integrate update into rom.
thanks
Thank you Intel007
yesterday, I left phone alone after i failed
it must felt it's wrong and when i came back to it
it apologized to me - yes phone -
its apologize was "I'll never do this again,I'm sorry "
and every thing went perfectly !!!
I downloaded maps and youtube from market ..and it smoothly downloaded and also installed
even they went to sd card without i move them !!!
I moved them back to internal memory
and used ES explorer to rename and move from data/app to system/app
I restarted phone
and....
Every thing was just perfect
Ok I accept your apologize my dear phone, Don't repeat this again hahahaha
I need to unroot and return my Blu Studio 5.3 to stock and to do it I need the Facebook app. Deleted it cuz I never use FB. The app is in /system/app. Facebook.apk. Tried getting it from Play Store and it gives me an error, managed to get it to install by sending it to the phone from accessing the Store by computer, but it installs com.facebook.katana-1.apk as a user app and crashes when I try to start it.
Thanks in advance.
Edit - Fixed it by renaming com.facebook.katana-1.apk to Facebook.apk, moving it to /system/app, using touch to change the file times to match other apps in system, and giving it the same permissions as the other apps

I am trying to uninstall my system Youtube app which I have installed a modded version of and my phone will not let me. The reason I am doing this is because I want to install the new 5.0 update but the update always fails. Yes I have root permissions, Yes I have tried using root explorer in ES File Explorer, Yes I have granted SuperUser Permissions to all the apps I have tried to do it with, Yes I have tried removing the app using console emulator, Yes I have cleared the data for the Youtube app and Disabled it, Yes I have tried remounting the system partition to allow RW access but it always goes back to read only!! everything I have tried keeps giving me the error READ ONLY FILE SYSTEM! I have used Root apps before and they all worked, why when I try to do something so simple it doesnt work? I have searched around on google and havent seen anyone with the problem I'm having. If it is a problem with the modded apk then there HAS to be a way to remove, in fact as I write this I am conctacting the developer via E-Mail. Please help!
BTW this modded YouTube apk was created by theos0o and I downloaded it from this forum!
From last week I'm facing this issue.
1) this issue is with some apps only.
- till now i hv seen this error while updating Facebook, Gmail and Tv Sideview app
2) Google Play store completely downloads the app but while updating it says Error: Insufficient Storage.
3)
But I'm able to install other apps from Google Play.
4) Even installing Facebook, Gmail, Sixaxis Controller manually from APK has failed it says Free up some space. While I can still install games as large as 50mb.
5) two weeks later I have rooted my phone, but I haven't done any critical changes which many rooted android users do.
6) some apps I'm using which u may want to know are:
-SuperSU, Root Uninstaller (fr deleting G-books n G-Newstand), GL to SD (but it's unmounted), Link to SD (just installed didn't use it), Rom Toolbox Lite (didn't use it either) and Lucky Patcher.
I have mentioned it because I got to know that it's the issue with those using lucky Patcher....???
Root /dev/log... Folder has just four files. Nothing to clean frm there.
Internal memory : 360mb (I had uninstalled some apps to increase it too 410mb but still facing the same issue)
Help requested. What to do now?
Phone: Sony Xperia M Dual
Model: C2004
Android version: 4.2.2 (Stock Rom) just rooted nothing changed.
======================================
UPDATE: FIXED ||||| PROBLEM SOLVED
====================================
I had changed d Apps2SD option to SD Card which was causing this error. Changed it to Auto again
By the way another fix is to goto lucky Patcher and in it's troubleshooting menu. Choose remove /delte (any logical options which says to clear) patches and backups
PS: i read it smwhere and haven't tried this one.
