[Q] like an idiot - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I run stock tw, but on a rooted phone. I upgraded to 4.3, and then started to take out the bloat. Like an idiot i accidentally deleted the stock camera. I am wondering if anyone has the stock camera apk that i could install. i have tried to install a few from earlier versions (4.1.2) but when i try it says not installed after it completes. i have looked every where and can not find just the stock camera apk. i thank anyone in advance that can help me with this

Not sure how to attach a file from my cell phone but I can upload it here once I am home.

Thank you. Now i am having trouble installing it, and quiet a few other apk's. I moved the two files to the aystem/app folder and tried to install from there. I checked permissions and they let me write. Not sure if it is because im on stock 4.3. Ugh i have learned to never go changing things while sleep deprived by a small child

And nevermind. Rebooted and its all good. Thank you so very much

How do I get em to become system apps? I have the. Apk files but can't get em to work...maybe I have bad apk's? They were given to me so their not my originals,I can't find the originals.
Are you putting them in system/app or are you finding them with a file explorer and trying to install them like a regular app?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
voice was never a system app so market download will cure that. I'd reflash your selected rom to fix gtalk
I have tried to drop them in system/app but nothing happens, I've also tried to install the normal way, do I need to use terminal emulator to install them? Cuz I don't know how exactly.

Shouldn't have to mess with the terminal to install any apps. Looking at my phone, Google voice is in data/app and gtalk is in system/app. You shouldn't have any trouble installing from the market though, have you tried reflashing the rom that you're on?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yeah I tried flashing back but still no talk or voice app, I did get Gvoice back on here but the talk app is the most important. Would it hurt me to just go crazy and drop a copy of it in all my folders and just hope one catches it?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
Well gtalk only belongs in system/app, I don't think it would do any good anywhere else.. What rom are you using? If its an AOSP rom, did you flash GAPPS (googleapps) after flashing the rom?

I have CyanogenMod-7.0.3-Inc I also don't have Verizon though that's what it says. I have cricket wireless and last time I flashed a new ROM it messed up my radio I haven't flashed a new one since getting it fixed cuz I'm obviously not so good with this. How can I know if a new ROM would mess up my radio again
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure about cricket, I have seen where people have had to go into EPST settings, etc, to get data and everything working on cricket. If you already have those things configured, flashing a new rom shouldn't revert those changes, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I'd recommend performing a backup first, then if it doesn't work you can just revert to where you were before. Did you flash the Google apps zip after flashing cyanogenmod? You need to do that in order to get certain Google apps that cyanogen can legally not bundle with their rom. I would reflash the rom, then flash GAPPS immediately after the rom (don't reboot THEN flash GAPPS, do it all at once) and you should be fine. And remember, always backup!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Ok so make a backup, then reflash my current rom AND GAPPS,then reboot? And where can I find the Gapps.zip to flash?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
Yep, backup, reflash the rom, then immediately after (before reboot) flash Google apps, reboot, then your market should be working fine. Here's a link for the gapps zip http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip

[Q] JB Update Fails.

So I was happy to read the Tmo GS3 finally getting JB and even happier when my phone pulled it.
However I cannot get it to install.
I'm full stock ROM. I did root via "debugfs-based Root for Galaxy S III"
The first time it failed I remembered I had programs frozen.
Unfroze them, still failed.
So I uninstalled my SuperUser app and told it to remove root.
Both Root Checker and Titanium Backup show no root access.
Update still fails.
Am I missing a step here? Or am I looking at resetting the phone to update it?
Are you updating via OTA or kies. Kies works after root. OTA not so much

OTA.
Going through the settings and telling to check (pull) the update.
Was unaware root broke that :\
I take it even though I'm not not rooted it does not matter.

Also tried with debug on and off, but Kies complains when it's off.
So I know it sees it, but does nothing when debug is on.

Ugh, I cant stand kies, personally. Never use it. Imo there is a much better, safer, nore efficient method.
You are rooted so im assuming you want to stay that way correct?
Go to the firmware thread in my sig and towards the top of the op you will see a section called root66.
Download the latest root66 firmware. Extract the file using 7zip, it should be a .tar.md5 file.
You will use Odin to flash this. If you arennt familiar with Odin, go to the 2nd post to download the latest vrrsion, 3.07. Below that you will find instructions for many different methods, find the flash in Odin one and follow the steps.
The root66 firmware is identical to the stock released by T-Mobile, except it comes pre-rooted, so you wont have to worry bout it after!
Good luck whichever way you go!

Op of that thread will tell you to do exactly what I just did a post or so ago. Just sayin that you should update your firmware before flashing custom roms.
Not required, but recommended for running the jb roms. Otherwise you dont get the full update.
Firmware via odin will update 10 partitions, custom roms only 2-3 on average.

I un-rooted currently.
Actually just did a factory reset to try and get the update, still fails.

Your way seems to be what I'm looking for.
Stock with root. Really have no interest in 3rd party ROM's unless it's Nexus style vanilla.

Tried with my laptop, still failed.
For whatever reason, stock rooted then unrooted ROM did not want to be updated either way.
Ended up going with the root66 JB option and ODIN.
Honestly was trying to avoid it, but it was really no hassle and the deed has been done.
Now to get back to restoring everything.

4.2 emoji keyboard

Does anybody have the emoji keyboard 4.2 file? I have searched and downloaded the file at least 5 different times from multiple places but whenever I go to flash the zip the installation is aborted error with the zip and I get the dead android figurine. Has this been happening to anybody else? I want the emoji 4.2 keyboard.

Just out of curiosity, do you have to be rooted and running a custom rom to use the Emoji keyboard? Also, Will this allow you to see Emoji everywhere they are use ei Twitter, instagram?
Yes the zip has an apk inside but I didn't push it to system because it also has libs and other files inside that I don't know how to install and where to put.

I don't think they've worked all the kinks out of that cam for all roms yet. Current workaround is to tap to focus before each shot, or shoot in action mode. See if that works for ya.
I am still waiting for some one to point me towards the zip file
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Working fine here on my end. Very nice too. I dig it.
For those of you having trouble flashing... just extract the two .apks from the zip with a file explorer, and also the lib file... we'll make this simple and I'll tell you just copy all files to the directories indicated below:
Copy the two apks to /system/app/ directory...
Now copy the lib file to /system/lib/ directory...
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then fix permissions.
Success.

First of all, I appreciate all the Devs hard work bringing these Roms to us! :good:
I was running rooted UCALH9. Updated to this JB via Odin and all SEEMED good. Problems I had:
1) Play Store FC's - FIX - I went into Application Manager and removed updates for the Play Store app, which reverted it back to the default Play Store app. This fixed my problem. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT UNINSTALL!
2) Rom Manager - I would get root user authentication error when trying to Fix Permissions. Everything else in Rom Manager worked. No fix at this time.
3) Gallery - None of my pictures were showing up. This is even after clearing caches. I am convinced it's because I can't Fix Permissions, but what do I know... No fix at this time.
Any help would be appreciated!

How to revert back to 4.1.2 from 4.3 safely

I've search everywhere. What is the proper procedures? Heard bricking would happen when done wrong. I cant find any of my files after updating... thats my main reason going back. (/0/0/0/) issues. Unless someone know the fix for that. Otherwise 4.3 is ruining my life Thanks in advance.

Just move the files manually. Use a computer or a file manager, doesn't really matter (only one /0 - /data/media/0). Update your recovery, too.
You can flash a 4.1.2 ROM, but do not flash any < 4.3 firmware.
I tried using e3 file explorer. No luck. I can't even see the files to move.
So if I install a 4.1.2 Rom. Do I need to flash the MD5 modem? Or it will work with them 4.3 modem?

You need to use the file manager to navigate to /data/media. You will be able to see everything from that location. I admit, it's more complicated/confusing than it should be, but it's mostly for backwards compatibility.
