I'm running the new 9.1 ROM with the new modem.
Everything was working great except I tried to download the new blacked out phone, but I screwed it up.
When I get a call the com.android.phone app FCs and I can't answer the call, when I try and place a call, it says CONTACTs has stopped responding.
Can anyone post the phone and contacts app that I can push to the system/app folder?
Thanks,

You already have it, it's inside the Wicked rom zip file you downloaded and flashed.
Open the Wicked rom zip file which you flashed and open the SYSTEM folder.
(if you don't have the zip file just re-download the wicked v9.1 rom)
Inside that folder there is a folder called APP, open that folder and scroll down until you see
"SecPhone.apk" copy/extract that file to you desktop and then push or copy it to your phones
internal/external sdcard or if you PUSH the file, push it to /system/app .
You will need a root capable file manager like root explorer to do the above.
Be sure to reboot the phone after you are finished doing the above.
Once that's done you will have the same phone (contacts/dialer screens) as you had when you
first flashed the rom.
Just in case you have an issue with it or its not working right be
sure to use the fix permissions options in cwm or twrp recovery.
The reason the blacked out phone did not work for you and caused all the issues
you are having with it is because its not compatible with the phone and or the rom.
Good luck!

Hey, thanks, I really appreciate it, can you confirm what the permissions are supposed to be?
or you could just flash the ROM again without wiping.

When you look at the permissions it should look like the diagram below.

Did you do a nandroid backup?
You might need to do a full wipe and flash ROM again if pushing SecContacts doesn't solved it.

Yeah, this isn't working.
I tried ripping out and replacing both the contacts and phone, changed the permissions, but it's still not working.
Is the phone app permissions the same?
****! Any other last ideas before I do a full wipe?

(there is only one app which needs to be copied back to the phone)
(it's filename is SecPhone.apk - the permissions are RWRR)
(there is no contacts.apk or any other filename which is needed)
Sorry I have no other ideas.
Good luck!

I want to use the dialer from the PlurStar theme with REVOlution. How would I do that?
I pulled the dialer .apk from the theme and tried to install it but it wouldn't work. I figure I need to use adb and just pull out the old dialer and replace it with the new one. Am I correct? How would I do that? What would I need to type in adb?
Thanks.
I'm thinking that you need to include that apk into a zip file that can be flashed via recovery...
What does that involve? I'm assuming I can't just put it in a plain old zip file.
I remove and replace files in the rom zip using winrar, then flash the zip to the phone. Sometimes it works sometimes it wont, who knows maybe one day well see a Phatman rom lol.

Well kind of... If you look for the SU apk (the new one) you'll see that it was an APK but it could not be directly installed so it was converted into a zip file. I know that there is more than just compressing the file,some additional files must be put in the zip as well so the recovery manager can extract it on the phone. I'd download the zip and check what it is inside besides the apk itself. You can also ask one of the dev to make it a zip for you.
Well I just used Regaw's zipmaker to do it, and it flashed but my dialer is still the same.
WhOops wrong thread.
Like phatman said, just take the Rom, extract it, look for system/app, drop the dialer in there and zip it back up. That's what I just got done doing this weekend with calks Rom, so I could have a dialer with vibration reenabled.

Yeah I just finished putting together my zip, but I didn't do it with a ROM, I did it with the REVOlution theme. I just extracted it, dropped the dialer .apk in to it and recompressed it. Going to try flashing it in a little bit.
Didn't work. Got an error that says "can't find update script". I think it has something to do with needing to resign the zip, which I don't know how to do.

Use winrar and dont unzip the ROM, the program will add/remove files without actually unzipping, like I said, its a hit or miss, or worst case you get a boot loop.
Just use the ROM and swap the dialers. U won't have to wipe or anything to reflash. I used 7z, extracted to a folder, swapped dialers then rezipped without any problems flashing.

Lol same here, I only got it to work during my g1 days. After that it was a no go, not sure if its user error or my computer. Find a solution to your dialer yet?
It's on the back burner right now. I'm currently beta testing RegawMOD so I'm not going to mess with the dialer until I'm done with it. I will try swapping the apks in winrar though as soon as I am done with the beta test. Kinda getting burned out on constantly flashing all day long. I need to get some sun lol
Just started running bonsai on my epic 4g. I came over from tmobile (vibrant, Teamwhiskey) I've seen some screenies of people running bonsai with Stock/AOSP Mms. I've done some searching but can't find anything. help?

Just replace the Mms.apk with the AOSP mms.apk.

Thanks for the link, but that one says its the text-about-voicemail mms.apk, is there any way to avoid that? I'm probably splitting hairs here but just curious, lol.
Also, i'm at work (no adb) I couldn't just fire up the apk on my phone, i'd actually have to push it through, right?
The text about vm is not avoidable. I think someone said you can block the 9016:// messages through sprint maybe? im not sure exactly. I use to care at first then i realized I don't really get many VM's. And if you're at work you can just move it into the /system/app folder. You dont have to use adb push. That's just another option.

I tried moving it into the system/app folder and it just gave me a parsing error, can't get it to receive texts. I put the old Mms.apk back in the apps folder and it threw the same error.
*edit*
I re-zip-flashed bonsai and it seemed to repair my texting ability. I tried the process again (replacing Mms.apk), then went into CW Recovery and wiped dalvik, booted and it still is on the samsung themed bubble Mms.apk. For sh*ts and giggles i tried tap-installing the Mms.apk and it wouldn't install, just as i figured. Suggestions?
Yeah tap-installing those system apps doesnt ever work. That's weird that you replaced the file, rebooted, and you were still on the old one. Although, technically there shouldnt be any need to reboot. I've switched out /system/app/Mms.apk and other apks without rebooting before. I do this all the time when theming. /boggle. Sorry, i'm not sure what more suggestions I can make. If you want I can try making it a flashable zip and maybe you can try that?

I'm running bonsai 4.0.1, not sure why it isn't working either. I'm not a dev but i'm no tech slouch myself and I can't figure it out. I'll try it again tonight. Also, teach a man to fish, don't give me the fish. If you happen to have a link for a tutorial to make flashable zips i'm all ears and ready to learn.
p.s. thanks button clicked.
Take a generic working CWM zip that replaces /system/ files. Delete all the crap out of it [dont delete Meta-Inf folder] with winzip, winrar, or 7zip. Drop in /system/app/Mms.apk . Most important thing is to maintain the file structure. As it will use it to push the Mms.apk onto the phone. Thats how i always do it.

Hello XDA,
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to change the status bar notification icon for a new sms from the standard Samsung closed envelope icon to the stock AOSP ICS square smiley face with the little tail. I have already got the icon and it is the correct size and file type (.png) and name (stat_notify_message.png) and I have tried a few ways of adding it into Mms.apk such as simply using 7Zip and decompiling & recompiling numerous times but the end result is always that the Messaging app is being removed completely and I'm having to restore a nandroid backup to get it back.
I have been looking all over XDA and have used trusty old Google to find solutions to my problem. Both come up with lots of different ways to theme, but none that solve my problem (as far as I can see anyway). Could anyone please point me in the right direction to find the guide on how to do it/explain to me how to do it successfully?
I am on a stock odexed XWLPG rom which is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If I remember correctly, its in SystemUI.apk

What I have done in the past is put the mms.apk on your pc. Use 7zip to OPEN ARCHIVE (NOT EXTRACT), then put the NEW .png file with the correct name on your pc. Now without unzipping the mms.apk just use 7zip to find the location of the file you want to replace. Now just hold down on the new .png file and drag it into the corrext location. Then 7zip will ask if you are sure you want to replace it. Hit ok or yes or whatever it says. Now move the mms.apk back onto your phone. Use root explorer and move it to /system. Then long press on it and choose permissions. Change it to rw,r,r. Then long press again and select MOVE. Then navigate to /system/app and paste. Reboot phone. It will work.
For some .apk they are picky like mms.apk dont like being extracted and zipped back up for some reason while others have NO issues when you extract them and rezip and rename then place them in.

Thank you so much RockRatt, you have solved my problem. Words cannot express my relief, thanks & gratitude for your sound advice. I had tried what you said to do previously, but never with the permission changes. Is that something that needs to be done for every apk or just some? Thanks once again, I am so happy! What an easy was to change the icon. It looks great. See screenshots.
So anyone out there in XDA land that is looking for a quick, easy mod (provided you're rooted) then simply follow RockRatt's easy to follow guide and you will never go wrong. And give him a thanks if his guide helped you in any way!!

You can clear the cache & dalvik-cache either before or after flashing the battery mod. I'd probably try it before and see how you go.

I think the problem with the VK battery files is they are from a pre jkay release. Now the Rom is using jkay framework I don't think you can flash them. It could be possible to swap the icons like the OP did though using 7zip?

Hey guys, i tried flashing a theme which was the circular battery percentage w/15 toggles last night, via cwm and when i rebooted after flashing it took longer than usual and when it finally booted i got a pop up saying " unfortunately system ui has stopped working" how do I fix it? i didnt have any backup (yes I know im a genius), now, i was wondering, does any of you guys have the stock system ui files to flash it via cwm?
here is the h9 one
thanks, man but when i try and install it it tells me that the app was not installed
you dont intall it rename your old systemui.apk to systemui.bak and place the new one in the same spot it should be system/app then reboot your phone and it should work or you can reflash your rom with out wipe and that will fix it too

is there any tweak i must know of in order to replace/rename the file systemui.apk it doesn't let me do anything because it's a read only file
and does it matter if mine is a telus i747m?
what app are you using to do this
root explorer, with superuser permissions
ok when your in the folder where systemui is click mount r/w at the top of the screen then you can rename it

As long as you pulled them from the same Rom/build version it should be fine. You could always reflash your Rom or firmware and start again.

As the good Doctor said, Reflash your Rom. Since its the same rom, I don't think you will loose any data. The bloat might come back.
I think you possibly deleted other related Apks sich as GMS or Google Core. Or may be those apks you tried are from different version. If you want to De-bloat, try one of the guides like this one.
Flashing the same will restore everything to the roms original state and won't wipe anything.
Not sure if it's the same as Perseus' link, but Aerowinder has a debloater in his signature a few post a back.

I *think* the problem might be I am not using the correct apk...
I used root66 way odin flashed MB7system.tar.md5 to root the phone, didn't flash any other ROMs.
When I tried to get those 6 apk, I was not able to get those from MB7system.tar.md5(unzip it to .ext4 file and don't know what to do with it).
So I got those files from T999L_UVAMB7_PureStockRooted.zip. Could this be the problem?
DocHoliday77, how can I get those 6 files from MB7system.tar.md5? I'd try this first before I reflash it again.
regarding reflash, in my case, do I just odin MB7system.tar.md5 again? and my own app/data will stay?
thanks

I *think* the problem might be I am not using the correct apk...
I used root66 way odin flashed MB7system.tar.md5 to root the phone, didn't flash any other ROMs.

If you are on Linux you can Untar that file. If on Windows you should be able to open the tar with Winzip. Either way Re-Flashing Tar should not delete your data.
With the firmware it's not quite so simple as extracting it. (Youd need to install the kitchen and use it to extract everything from the .img.ext4 file. This has already been done though and is what the pure stock Rom was built from)
If you pull it from the pure stock Rom, make sure you are also getting the corresponding .odex files.
If you already are, then you need to flash either CWM or TWRP recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache.
Or you can factory reset
Or you can reflash the firmware on top of what you have now. No wipe required.
All of these things should be relatively easy to do. If you've already got the root66 firmware, then easiest would be to just reflash it.
Putting the correct files back in /system/app should work, but if not, that's probably your best option.

I thought he had pure stock Rom there. My bad.

I finally managed to extract those three apk files from the ext4 files and drop them into /system/app and now I got back stock calendar and email app.
Thanks both of you!
