Missing settings apk. HELP! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I use a Samsung Galaxy S3 running the latest nightly build of Cyanogenmod 11. Somehow or another, the settings app disappeared. It's not in the app drawer, when I try to access the app using the quick settings panel, nothing happens. And when I try to drag an app from the home screen to the "App Info" tab I get a pop-up notification saying "application is not installed". I've tried updating my phone but it didn't work and all of my back-ups are not working either! I'm thinking it may be the Trebuchet launcher that comes with CM 11 hiding the app shortcut. I've went into the file manager and did some digging and I did find some files related to the app, but what worries me is that I couldn't find the .apk file. Help would be greatly appreciated! I'm attaching some screenshots for reference.

that's easy just get the Setting APK from any AOSP/CM11 rom for your S3 and use Root Browser to put it into System/Priv-App set permissions to 0644/rw-r--r-- then reboot your phone and you should have it but preferably use the Settings Apk that is made for your rom

Do I find the ROM for my S3 that contains the app on the internet? If so, do you think you could link me to a website? I'm not having much luck here. I've been searching for hours and I still have no luck.

I'm assuming that the model number is SPH-L710, since it's not one of the international models. My service provider is Sprint. And I am currently running the very latest CM 11 build. I can't give a specific name because that's something the CM Updater could tell me. But that's only accessible through the settings app or if an update notification pops up in the notification shade.

How do I get rid of "com.jb.gosms.weber.advanced finn"

So I downloaded GoSMSpro on my note 2. Once I opened the app I got "com.jb.gosms.weber.advanced finn" in the notification bar. I'm sure that I'm overlooking something extremely simple, but it just has me dumbfounded. I've searched with no success, so I thought that I would turn here and see if anyone else has ran in to this. I was running GoSms on my Evo LTE with no problems. Please help!
Look into appp settings.
Otherwise go to app manager in settings and click on the app you downloaded .
Scroll down and select disable notifications

[Q] missing gallery app

Can someone please help? My wifes GN2 gallery app has been deleted somehow. Her phone is stock and unrooted. From my understanding root is required to delete a system app, so I'm not sure how it happened. Does anyone have any ideas on how to recover the gallery, aside from factory reset? Maybe an apk? Thanks!
SOLVED
It's probably not deleted. Open your app draw, then click menu and select hide applications. Find gallery and uncheck it.

I've checked the app drawer, and it's not hidden. I have also looked in the application manager, it's missing from there as well.

Okay that's strange because you do need root to remove a system app. Silly question, have you scrolled to the bottom of app manager where the disabled apps are and made sure it wasn't accidently disabled?
Also, have your rebooted and seen I'd it just shows back up

Thank you guys for the replies. I have performed a reboot, however I have not scrolled to the bottom of the app manager to see if it was disabled. I only looked for it in the alphabetical list. I'll try that when she gets home with her phone.

none of the apps is installing specifically installing from apk is unsuccessful, installing from play store works fine, restoring a backup is fine as well. It's just the apk(for any app) which is giving me trouble.

Im wondering if I have to root my tab to get this voice recorder apk to install...
I installed AT&t's visual voice mail APK no problems..
hmmmmmm
Late reply, but the people facing this issue might benefit from this.
Seems it was an issue because of trying to install apk with 'night filter' on. Android disables app install while any screen dimming app is on due to security reasons.
ps: still waiting for cm lol

[Q] Missing Samsung Bloatware for Galaxy Gear

I just flashed the Infamous GE 4.4.2 Rom on my tmo S4 and keep getting this error message when my phone boots:
"Unfortunately SAPedometerSettingProvider has stopped"
I'm also unable to install the Samsung App Store app or get notifications on my watch.
I also got an error message about this app that is not found or can't run:
com.samsung.android.notiprovider..... (don't remember the rest, but looks like the notification service)
I'm guessing that i'm missing some samsung bloatware but not sure.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
Would returning to the stock firmware possibly fix this?
Some custom roms like Wicked 10 support using galaxy gear. I'd flash one of those if I had galaxy gear.

I just read the thread and they say it syncs with the phone (which the infamouse GE kitkat ROM also does) but some of the apps i want like svoice and notifications don't work and won't work because of the framework.
so i guess the best option to get everything working is the stock ROM?
Anyone know how to fix this on the custom roms?

LTE fix on d2LTE Roms

This is my first tutorial that worked for me. Majority of us all have been having LTE issues with these d2LTE Roms and this fix has worked for me been over a week strong now.
Install or revert back to a Touchwiz or any ROM that you had LTE working on.
Download 'APNs Backup' sorry I didn't post a link. You may have to install busybox, I had to for it to work. If you have to then make sure you reboot.
Allow SU permissing ,then choose where you want to save Internal or External. Then reboot to recovery and restore the ROM having LTE issues.
Reinstall 'APNs Backup', give SU permission and choose the location you backed up your APN as stated above and click restore.
After your restore reboot your phone, if LTE is not working make sure in your mobile settings that CDMA+LTE is chosen then reboot.
By now your LTE should be working. Those are the steps I took and my LTE has been strong since, working so far for over a week, and this is working on 4.4.2 Roms.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope this has worked for you as it has me, once I get computer access I'll post the link to the app for quicker access.

Hi, im having the LTE issue as well.
I read the APN Backup & Restore description and it says the app must be converted to a system app before it works.
Did you have to do this?
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
No, I had trouble with 'APN Backup & Restore, there is a app called 'APNs Backup' just search what I have in the quotes, The 'APN Backup & Restore' app doesn't work at least for me, I've tried converting to system app in every way possible, and I get a error while trying to back it up. Let me get a link for 'APNs Backup' then all you have to do is follow my tutorial, you don't have to convert anything with mine steps

On KitKat you have to move the app to /system/priv-app, not /system/app for it to work properly. Straight from the description on Play Store.
Oh okay. I found "APNsBU" when searching in quotes. I don't see any special requirements there, besides BusyBox.
I saw the info about 4.4 but was asking about the NOTE below that in the description.
I will give one or both of these a try and report back what I discover.

I can confirm this works. Took a bit to bring up my LTE connection after following the process, but I now have LTE. Works on an hlte (Sprint Note 3) with SlimKat 4.2.

Any clue how long it will be? Most of us have had this issue for a few weeks now and this back up APN app hasn't quite panned out for me. I'd rather just rely on a reliable fix from the dev.
Was it just recently announced with no ETA or is it something that was announced some time ago and we are getting closer to a release?

Perfect. Thanks.
The past few days put me in a dark place. I decided that I had had enough of nightlies and debated going back to a the stock 4.3 ROM with root. I was ready for Touchwiz but also a better camera (I've heard CM will never have the same quality because of proprietary drivers) and finally LTE.
No LTE does that you....:silly:
Just did this fix and now I get "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" every 2 seconds..=/
Make sure if you are installing the new cm11 nightly with the merged fix you do a clean install otherwise it may not work.

I'm still having this issue, even after a clean install of the 04/28 nightly. I am on Ting. Would this affect anything? When I switch to LTE mode in mobile networks, LTE flashes to the left of the signal for a split second then disappears. Anyone?

Could you let me know if the fix has been merged yet for Verizon phones? I'm excited to try 4.4.3 and the new theme chooser, but use my phone for work, and wouldn't want to break it at any cost.
Thank you!
i have a question, i cant edit the apn settings, i have tried the apn backup, made it a system app, move it to system/priv-app and it can backup and restore apn even on 4.4.2 firmware, the point is, whenever i edit the xml file with my carrier parameters and restore the apn the list of apn just deletes, theres nothing there, but if i restore the original xml file (sprint apn) the lista of apn appears, i have tried other workaround, i have installed the shortcut maker, made the apn shortcut and it will let me see the apn list, but it doesnt let me edit or add a new apn. please help...
