[Q] Where to find old wallpaper image?

Hello,
I have an old home screen wallpaper that was from an original photo I had taken a while bac . The photo was deleted off my phone but still remains as the wallpaper even after flashing and updating different updates.
Is there anyway to find that wallpaper? I have been going through the file manager app but no luck. Anyone here have any ideas on where to find it?

Status/Notification bar is no longer visible

I attempted to flash a .zip patch to remove the QSlide Apps part of the notification drop-down menu, and since then I've been getting constant messages of "System UI has stopped" and the status bar does not show at all. Tried a factory reset on the phone itself but to no avail. Going to attempt to flash system stock ROM from a .zip ... any other suggestions / advice???
Thanks in advance

Why do you guys keep flashing things without making a backup first?! Unfortunately there is no other way for you to get back to working order; you have to LGPST back to stock. Next time make a backup if you're going to flash ANYTHING.

I had something simpler happen with exposed framework, my status bar would disappear then I would get an error "system UI has stopped" . Just un installed all modules and removed exposed. Not sure if you are using exposed. But that's how I fixed mine.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??

Can a mod move this to the Q&A section please before it gets out of hand. Not flaming you bro but we as a community need to keep things in order and post where we are supposed to post. Don't worry we've all posted in the wrong section a time or two.

You dont need to flash the whole thing just overwrite LGSystemUI.apk with the original one I attached, set correct permission and reboot.
You should backup any file you decide to change first..luckily the phone will still boot with a bad systemui apk

Hopefully that fixes it, hopefully what he flashed didn't change any other files outside of Systemui.

Thanks for the apk and sorry about posting in the wrong forum at first.....
How exactly should I go about installing the new apk though? When I used Package Installer it keeps saying "Application not installed" and doesn't run. Sideload Wonder Machine or something equivalent maybe? I had a tough time today with setting up LGPST so I'd like to save that as a last resort if possible.... Thanks for the responses though!

Never mind....figured it out. Forgot it had to be pushed over.... Needless to say I need to spend some more time around Android! It's been a while since I first got in the game.
Status bar is back up and running, and it even maintained removal of the QSlide Apps portion, which is what I was trying to fix all along -- my original screw up! All's well that ends well I guess.
Thanks all for your help! :good:

If you are using custom ROM, try flashing specific GApps
(For 5.1.1 flash 5.1.1 GApps)
OR
Try wiping dalvic cache/cache/factory reset
If you are on stock ROM, maybe it's a bug. Hope Samsung will fix it soon

I just wanted to add a fix that worked for me so I didn't have to do a factory reset. If you have twrp custom recovery under wipe or advanced there is an option to repair a partition. Select system and swipe the bar to repair and the "unfortunately..." message stopped when accessing a mode of settings that accessed a shortcut via activities in nova launcher that allows for turning off cell radio. It also stopped the "optimizing app" message I got every time I rebooted.

[Q] My G3's home screen keeps refreshing

So I am not sure what is causing this but after rooting my phone, I installed Xposed, G3 Tweaks, did some tweaking, rebooted fine a couple times, then I decided to see about changing the system font. Downloaded Fonter, an xposed module and chose Roboto (after downloading).
Then when I rebooted, my home screen just keeps refreshing, alternating between black and the wallpaper. I can't open anything on the home screen, not even the appdrawer.
I can open the notifications panel, and go into settings and Apps...which is where I uninstalled Xposed and Fonter, etc but on reboot - same thing.
Any ideas? Oh and I can boot in safe mode and everything's fine there.
Thanks in advance.

download exact same ROM from LG or elsewhere and install with LG flash tool 2014 etc, nothing will be lost in terms of apps(everything back to normal) as long as its the same ROM version and you select "normal flash" gl.

Thanks - this worked, although it failed to get into download mode on the first two tries.
But I still don't get it....why didn't Factory reset clear everything? When I rooted the phone, did it stay rooted even after the factory reset?
Thanks again.

Factory reset , afaik, doesn't clean up the system partition thus root and any system tweaks remain intact.

solved without reflash
I had the exact same problem on my d855......my method was more straight forward than reflashing the Rom...Google now seemed to open with no problems....did a phone search for fonter from the Google now search.....fonter shows up as an app.....open fonter and quickly hit the 3 bar menu on the left to corner and settings in the fonter app....you have to be really quick in order to open the fonter settings page before it refreshes....try using multiple fingers at once ...once in the settings page in the fonter app...choose the "restore default" option and reboot......everything should be them back to normal.....
It might take a few tries....but this is definitely easier than reflashing the Rom

Yeah I realised I could have done that but I wasn't 100% sure it was fonter since I did other tweaks and was pending a reboot.
Also I could have switched the shell to Easy Home instead of the default and that would have given me an app drawer. I would have left it like that if the flashing didn't work. Finished everything about 4 am.
An interesting sidenote....the battery life on the phone is *considerably* better, even after installing all my apps

"Activvity is not exist in this device" popup when entering Lock Screen in Settings

"Activvity is not exist in this device" popup when entering Lock Screen in Settings
Hello everyone.
I have messed a little up while trying to install as system app some fake gps apps, and since then, my lock screen has been reset, there is no shortcut and when I try to enter the Lock Screen settings a popup appears with written "Activity is not exist in this device".
I can't really understand why doing that caused that.
I guess, somehow, the .apk about the lockscreen got deleted in the operation.
I am running Fulmics 4.3, I'd like not to reflash the ROM just for this little problem.
Does anyone know the .apk related name file or has another solution please?

How about you do reflash the ROM? No need to wipe data if you flash the same system image. You don't have anything additional stuff you edited on system partition that you would lose by reflashing it, no?
I can't seem to find 4.3 but I assume that 4.1 will work. (mega:///#!HE1QzYoZ!ktj3enhUe0_axivfQFC08jxuDKdo_UZ1gV2NzdZnlig)
Ofc do the backup just in case you get stuck in a bootloop.

Actually i would have to re-set up some anti theft apps installed as system app...and I should reflash the 5.1, then the 5.2, then 5.3, then the N style notification bar...
However, I guess I have found on the rom archive the apk I needed.
It should be LGLockScreenSettings_2.apk and LGLockScreenSettings_Provider.apk found under \system\app, the only problem is that I don't remember how to install them
On the root partition I can't find an folder called "app"...
I guess I'll keep looking for the system app location...
Thanks anyway
