I removed this "widget" without backup because I incorrectly assumed it was one of those widgets you put on the home screen. Anyways my settings app is bricked (I get "Unfortunately settings has stopped working" whenever trying to open settings) and after digging around on google I found removing com.lge.sui.widget is the issue.
Is there anyway I can restore this dependency? I have a stock backup on my computer that I'd rather avoid using it if possible.
Alternatively, is there any way I can change input methods without going through settings? I cannot enable any new keyboards because they require me to go through the settings > language & input service, which causes an error message whenever I try to access it directly or through my keyboard apps. However I can switch between the keyboards I currently have enabled just fine.
I found a 3rd party app that changes wifi settings without going through the settings app, is there any similar app for enabling keyboards? If there was such an app, I wouldn't need to go through settings for anything else saving me the trouble of finding this com.lge.sui.widget or reinstalling android.
My phone is LG D850 (G3)
Just flash the kdz again without the wipe option, is the only way.. I made that error in my G2 and g3
Downlod .zip file of your ROM, copy .apk to location and set its permissions. Then reboot your phone and it should work.

Would like to know how to remove a default permission i allowed an app to basically replace the default kindle launcher (carousel).
The issue is that my Kindle is not rooted, and when it starts up it wants to use this app that happens to "stop unexpectedly" so my Kindle basically does not have a way to launch anything and now its in a way bricked.
My question is.. is there any way to delete a permission from the sdcard anywhere or is there a way to fix this issue without having any recovery apps installed already?
Solution - Although that error message will keep coming up... Plug in your Kindle allowing it to sync to your computer when that happens.. every now and then the top menu bar will come up and you just have to quickly tap it to remove that default setting.
[Edit:] I tried to help then noticed it was solved while I was writing.
Hello guys,
I've just flashed the Paranoid Android ROM by WOH (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912187&page=111) and I really like it.
However, I'm having some kind of issue with the PA engine settings.
The problem goes like this:
1. When I set the global UI settings, I'm asked to reboot, but the settings are back to defaults after the reboot.
2. When I edit the preferences for a particular app, I'm only able to make it work by setting and applying the needed values followed by using the launch button, which finally makes the changes effective. These changes are, however, also reset after rebooting the phone.
I did some searching and found this hint (http://www.paranoid-rom.com/forum/guides-references/256-hint-pa-prefs-does-not-save-changes) which seems to deal with this problem, but haven't had any luck with it. In the terminal, when trying to run the commands, I get an error saying my file system is mounted read only. So I tried modifying the file perimissions in the ES file manager (which also didn't work on some occasions, but sometimes it did), then running the terminal commands successfully, but without any effect on the PA preferences bahaviour after rebooting.
I ended up editing those files manually and removing the backup file (which, I thought, was overwriting the preferences file, reverting the settings to defaults). The ES file manager also behaved very oddly when trying to manipulate those files, once I was not allowed to delete those files, than they disappeared on their own, same goes for renaming.
Finally, I think, the problem is being caused by the properties file being overwritten with the defaults on every boot. So far I've been unable to determine the cause of this behaviour, so I hope perhaps some of you have come across this problem and know the solution. Thanks in advance for that.
Hi Guys,
I used a system uninstaller to get rid of some bloat for system included apps like the original file explorer, music apps etc. I must had selected the default Home app so i am unable to get back to the normal looking home screen. I was able to do a factory reset (shouldn't have in hindsight, as this deleted the uninstall app as well as the removed home apk). Got back into settings as notification bar works and switch to Easy Home.
Whenever i switch to standard Home the phone hangs, i can only use Easy Home atm.
So the question is how to obtain the default KitKat (v10l) home.apk and where should i place it?
Thanks in advance.

Afaik, LG Home path is /system/priv-app/LGHome.apk
You can extract the apk from the Official v10l KDZ using LG Compressed KDZ Extractor (requires python). Unless someone is kind enough to provide the apk?
Here you go. Lollipop version.
Thanks for this but it didn't work as i am on KitKat.
Can someone else provide me the apk from their v10l?
I guess copying out of that system directory should work too rather than extracting from KDZ.
Hello everybody,
Prior OOS 4.x.x I was able to locate the OnePlusOTA.apk in the system files and stop the annoying persistent icon from occupying space, as well as the activity to it that drains battery. But now after the N update there is no such apk or at least I haven't been able to find it, so if anyone has an idea what to do to get rid of that service, please help.
P.S. I have a note from before that says I shouldn't try to disable SystemUpdate service via MyAndroidTools so this is probably a no-go.
Thanks in advance!
Go to Settings > Apps
make sure show system apps is checked
look for System Updates and disable app

I checked there before, now checked again and there's no option to disable it, it's grayed out. Force stop would not persist upon reboot.

EDIT: This made me think about it, so I went into Titanium Backup and froze it. Icon dissapeared immediately, I hope the process was frozen with it too, since it took like 3% battery in just 24 hrs. -.-
All in all I think this has been solved. Thanks!
Recently I got this new phone and I very stupidly updated to android 12 to check it out, expecting that I can revert back to android 11 with a simple factory reset (why doesn't it revert to factory settings, but instead stays on the update wtf???). That's an annoyance and I could live with it if it weren't for the grayed out permissions on some apps which I can't turn off. I don't remember all the apps / system apps that have this, but the "Settings" app is one of them and also if you go to the file manager, there will be apps which are normally not found in the standard app viewer and one example that has grayed out permissions is an app that has "12" as an icon and might be the theme for android 12 or something related to it. How do I completely turn off location for both of these for example? Is that even possible? Would I have this same problem of grayed out permissions even if I had stayed on android 11? Please someone help me, thank you.

Hello,
It was never possible to restore to an older version of Android by factory resetting the device. Factory reset only removes user data. Doesn't remove the OS, doesn't downgrade it.
I haven't tested this particular thing, but it's very likely that Android 11 might have had the same permissions. And yes, some of the permissions can't be changed, since they are used by the system.
However, at least for what Location is concerned, you should be able to simply disable Location access altogether. Not sure if those system apps can still access your Location even when turned off, but that's another story.
Hope the answer above help you at least a little bit.
