I'll post screenshots of what I did and to save everyone the time of extracting the boot. I'll post mine , and just renamed it so it could flash the other boot partition. Root works and if problems with play store , just force stop it clear cache and reopen it .
Very nice article for someone very beginner keep copying and pasting

First off I'd like to start off by saying that I am kind of an idiot...with that said; I like to mess around with important files on my device(Acer a100) even though I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing.
Using titanium backup I uninstalled that download system apk. The one with the green icon and the white arrow pointing down. Now when I try to restore it through tit. Backup it will just freeze and keep saying that it is restoring and I have to finally force close titanium. I have also tried messing around with permissions in root explorer, fixing permissions in rom manager, navigating to system/app and installing it manually through a file explorer( get message install fail), and hard resetting.
The main problem is that everything I download will show in my notification bar and after I close/exit them they come back 5-30 min later. If I click on the download in my notification(not on the x) then my notification bar just closes. I can kinda fix this by turning my notifications off or cleaning data/cache on ?download storage? Apk/app.
Does anyone know of an easy fix for restoring this system apk. For there are no custom roms or recovery sources for this device that I have seen yet.
Thank-you, Robb
Get the system.apk file from the roms here

PM me with your email address, I'll email you the apk from my A100, I'm still running the stock rom that I pulled it out of the box with.
You can download it straight to your tab from your email, beforee you do, get a file manager (like es file manager) from the market. You will be able to get to your downloads folder from there and install it.
ummmmm............ could you repeat that?

He's got Root Explorer, that should do the trick.
To the OP: You are mounting the system partition R/W in Root Explorer when you try this, aren't you? Hate to ask a dumb question but.....
Yes I am hitting that button up top on root explorer changing it from r/w to r/o but I think some how I just got the wrong apk....after titanium wouldn't restore it I think I remember copying apk. From my phone (g2x) and attempting to restore those...dumb, I know I might of tried changing the names of the apk. Too,..like I say I f*** with s*** I have no business Fu****** with. I will p.m. my email now maybe I can get a screen shot of the system files if anyone feels up to it, so I can cross check proper name and sizes
How about just reinstalling the 3.2.1 update that is in the developer section. There should be no reason to factory reset since it is the same version. I have soft bricked mine a few times and I have just did the update again.
I even upgraded from whatever version the device shipped with to 3.2.1 without wiping the data.
A100 development section??? I see three a100 recovery downloads and one a101 recovery in our development section but when I download them i t says they were corrupted...if those are what your talking about...which one exactly should I use and what do I do with the file after words???
----sorry two that say a101 and two a100
So should I use file Id # 115,116,117,or 109
Use the one in this post. It is already decrypted. The ones in the frist post need to be decrypted using the Acer decryption tool. I have used the one I linked to probably 20 times. Once you run the update you will have to re-root the tablet.
thank-you all..recovered and fixed!!!
I was able to fix my problem by using the recovery update zips. But I want to thank everyone that helped, and remind people from experience to freeze unwanted system apps instead of uninstlling in titanium backup.u
Very important advice also is to search and read before starting new posts. I could have saved some time and headache just by doing that...the answers were just a couple paragraphs away the whole time.
Hello all,
I was browsing this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/app-t3050715 and tried to install the music apk. It didnt install.
The thread suggested to move it to priv-app folder. I did so.
Now after rebooting, all i get is a blank screen, post the boot-animation.
Need help.
Hi, I've flashed my US Le 1 Pro first with Beta Hydri v4 but because I had the malware stock US rom it came with the phone. In the stock rom Hifi and that changing display didn't worked but i didn´t really care but everything else did , like gyroscope and compass (and very well) but since i've flashed to Beta Hydri v4 with full wipe, some axis are inverted, I think X in accelerometer is outputing negative values instead of positive.
I've trying flash other roms (like cuocu92 14s and the original stock I had from my backup) but didn´t worked. I'm so sad because I've just bought 2 days ago the bobovr z4 so i could use it for vr.... :'(
Can someone help me?
I noticed this problem when I tried to use Google Camera for (360° spherical panoramas) very frustrating.
At this moment one solution is use other phone to VR.

It works with original rom but you have to wipe everything except your sdcard.
At least for me now working perfectly.
I am having the same issue. My phone is rooted. I am surprised there are no apps or anything that can invert the VR for us.
CM 12.1

Thanks to @BetaHydri, he fixed this issue in the CM12.1 V4.2
Additional Infos about how to fix
Thanks very much for the quick reply!
I flashed to 4.2b using TWRP and then installed the gapps, I really did not want to format my device.
4.2b fixed my GPS issue thank God, but the VR is still inverted.
Went into TWRP file manager using recovery, and tried to move the new .conf file from the 4.2b zip to the /sensors/etc folder.
This didn't seem to help at all. There is still nothing in the /persist folder.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers

First time I flashed the V4.2, I came from the Stock Rom, it didn't fix the Gyro problem, but as I remember you should delete/rename these files first (sensor_def_qcomdev.conf - sensors_settings - sns.reg) then in TWRP do a factory rest and wipe Dalvik + Cache.
Reflash the Rom again.
Thanks for the quick response.
Unfortunately with the lack of time I can't look at factory reset... it would take me forever to re-load all apps, docs, pictures, etc.
I am wondering if there's a manual way to do this through TWRP -- ie. copying the correct sensor files into their respective folders, clearing cache, and seeing if that works.. right now my /persist folder is empty
If anybody has a chance that has a working gyro, I'd love a copy of their sensors folders both in persist and system.

The factory reset doesn't wipe your internal storage, only the apps installed and settings will be restored to default.
Anyways, if tomorrow I get free time I will upload the files needed for you.
Does your GPs lock on OK?
May need to reflash, no idea what I did wrong but the GPS does not work. Bounces around the map every few minutes.
I can confirm, I reflashed today -exactly- as instructed on the instructions in the 4.2b thread, re-installed all apps, etc etc.. an hour process at least..
The gyroscope is still inverted,
After dalvik + cache cleanup in TWRP and after boot you should have in /persist/sensors folder three files:
1. error_log
2. sensors_settings
3. sns.reg (this has now all new settings in an encrypred format from the sensor_def_qcomdev.conf file)
And on /system/etc/sensors only that above mentioned clear text sensor_def_qcomdev.conf file.

and there is still -nothing- in the /persist folder...
I have the one file in /system/etc/sensors, but I don't have it in /persist.
I'm ready to throw this phone out the window

My bad, there are the 3 files in the persist folder (had to activate root explorer in ES).
No idea why it's not working.
For the GPS, I have no idea because I don't use it at all. Go to CM 12.1 BetaHydri thread
I attached a Zip file contain all files with their respective directories as shown below.
Code:
system/etc/sensors/sensor_def_qcomdev.conf
etc/sensors/sensor_def_qcomdev.conf
persist/sensors/error_log
persist/sensors/sensors_settings
persist/sensors/sns.reg
Good luck.
nsmsdz, you are the man.
After replacing all the files/overwriting, and a reboot, it works fantastic.
May the Android Gods be with you always.

Hi,
sorry if I ask something that was maybe already answered, but i didnt find a matching Thread. If i am in the wrong section please move the Thread to the correct one.
I have a Nexus 5. Lately i replaced the original Marshmallow with Lineage 14.1. The process seemed to word as I could launch and use it. But when I tried to download something through my Browser i get an error. I tried Chrome, Firefox and Opera, too. When i wanted to copy a File by MyPhoneExplorer into Download Folder igot an error "unautorized". When i try to create a folder in Download i get prompted that I need root.
So I think somehow I dont have writing permissions there. Is this a known thing?
For installing i unlocked Bootloader by adb and flashed latest TWRP (3.0.3.-0) formated userdata and then copied lineage-14.1-20170124-nightly-hammerhead-signed.zip and a gapps.zip.
My old Backup from google was restored, i can use camera, take calls, play games, install apps etc. So I think the installation worked. Any ideas why I cant write in Download folder? (I can write in Movies though, tried it with MyPhoneexplorer)
I also tried the nightlys from January 31 and February, still no change.
Thank you very much in advance.
I had a similar problem with my Music directory, but after a reboot it came good.

I already did several reboots. I also tried to switch back to older images or the latest one. Still no change. You think i should wipe it an do fresh install?
Edit: Did wipe System, Cache and Data before giving it a new try. Now it works.
So I installed miui 10 days ago to try it. Now I'm on jaguar with the last Magisk release. I was searching where slim Theme engine stored apks when I saw a folder named miui at this place : /storage/emulated/miui. So I tried to remove it but I can't. Total commander has all root rights. See attachment to see the error message. Could you help me finding a solution to remove it please? I'm scared that it can be a scam or something like that.
Thanks in advance
PS : I did a full wipe and only restored my data backup taken before installing miui
**** forgot screenshot ahaha
Have you tried booting into TWRP and deleting the MIUI folder using the built-in file manager?
Up
Same problem.
Twrp dont see nothing inside emulated folder so inpossible to remove MIUI folder
