I deleted the dialer app and now...

....can't get any signal. I have an epic 4g touch that a rooted and I deleted the dialer app via titanium backup. I backed up the dialer first but I cant restore it. What do I need to do to get my phone working again. As it stands the wifi cell radio do not work.
I hate myself right now.
BTW the name in Titanium Backup is Dialer 2.3.4.

Have you tried downloading an apk installer?

Try installing a free dialer but not sure if that'll work.

Place your dialer.apk (which is backed up by titanium) in /system/app folder and reboot your phone.
Hope this works

I guess there are some dialer apps available in market.. One other possible solution would be, get the Dialer.apk from any other same mobile thru BT and move it to your system forlder.. I havent tried but it might well work out..

What is the problem with restoring it?
You can try manually putting it back as suggested, but it would help to pin down why the backup isn't working.

Since your rooted download romtoolbox from the market you can find the dialer apk. In your apps in another rom move the file or files into system/apps and install which ever one you want works for me might have to change permissions hope this helps I deleted my camera and resolved my problem this way hope this help

Gmail 4.2!!

Hello Epic XDA users!
Let me start by saying I got this from mrmako777
According to Android Police:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.

Note: 1) This APK was tested and fully stable on my Epic 4g, Android 4.1.1 PA 2.13, and is made for 4.0+ devices. 2) You must be rooted for this to work.
3) Flahing Gapps will not change this app. If you want to update to current distribution you MUST remove Gmail 4.2 FIRST!
Installation:
For this to work on my device I used a file-manager (in this case I used Solid Explorer) and renamed the file to Gmail2.apk as well as I used it to move/backup the file found in /data/app named com.google.android.gms-1.apk With the system partition set to RW, I also removed any other original Gmail.apk related apks in the system root/system/app.
Once the new file was placed into /system/app from the copy on my SD card I installed the file and synced to the network.

Use Root Explorer.
Enable R/W
Go to /etc/permissions
Edit platform.xml as the bottom of the picture (add "media_rw" line).
Save and reboot

This is the only way it should be done.

Thanks all for the suggestions - I tried the geeksoft apk and it did the trick. Actually, the first one I tried probably worked also, but the app I was using wouldn't work (iTag)...but i switched to another (Mp3Edit) and that worked like a charm!
Incidentally, I opened that permission xml file to look at any changes, and it appears the line was added just as it should.
Thanks again!

So I had lucky patcher and few other ad blocking apps on my tab 3 and I did a factory reset on it.
Now my Google play store is unable to sign in and after much research I found out that the reason being the host file.
Then I checked my host file and it is blocking it. I am unable to edit it with any rooted explorers and I also get prasing error when I am trying to install any apk files. So can't undo what lucky patcher did.
I found some threads here which say, I need a stock rom to fix it but I couldn't find one for my model.
samsung tab 3 T217A.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me fix this problem.
Thank you.

attached is the stock host file.
but it sounds like you have lost root access.
try reroot your device and replace the file.

Question I have granted permission countless times but it's still the same. I have tried granting access to several folders but no changes. Please advise.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Try:
Long press on app icon, information, permissions.

Thank you, but that's not where the problem is. All permissions are granted, but now the problem is within the app itself [download location]

A link for this app?

I have tried that a dozen times, created new IDM folders in the Download folder and inside other folders as well, but the app is still requesting for access.

I also have apps that require this permission and it works in A13.
Check with the app developer.

Thank you.
