Remove stock gallery topic

I am running a rooted Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2. Last night I installed QuickPic. I then used "Uninstaller" to remove the stock Gallery app. All was looking good until I rebooted the phone. It changed my custom lock screen wallpaper back to the default.

When I tried to change the lock screen wallpaper back to my custom image I couldn't as when you go to the home screen to edit the lock screen wallpaper, there was NO option to select QuickPic to change the wallpaper (it was just blank). Strangely. I can change the home screen wallpaper with QuickPic!

Does anyone know how I can change the lock screen wallpaper without the stock gallery app? I have searched and searched online but come up empty handed!

Thank you!

[Q] Can't Remove SuperSU topic

I wanted to get my Verizon M8 on 4.4.2 back to stock, and I found and followed this guide.

1. Flashed RUU


2. Relocked Bootloader


3. S-On

I got through everything successfully, except I can't get SuperSU permanently removed now. The in-app remove thing doesn't work and the Universal Unroot app didn't work. I Googled furiously and found things like this (part 2) and this, but nothing is working.

Is there anything else I can try?

Debloater (Lets remove all that carrier bloat !! topic

Debloater by Gatesjunior


Background
So after many times of going back and forth blocking / disabling apps on my devices through the command line and or shell, I decided to write a program to make this all much easier for myself. Well, after I got it all finally running and doing what I wanted, for each particular device I own, I decided that his was a pretty nice program and I wanted to share it with the community. After all, this community is where I started and learned a lot of the things I know today. So why not share with my family of Android enthusiasts.

Requirements
The program requires that your manufacturer USB drivers are installed for your specific device as well as the following:
• Windows Operating System
• USB Debugging turned on for your device
• Root or KitKat running on your phone
• Run as administrator, both Windows 7 and Windows 8 (Right click on shortcut, go to properties and then click compatibility tab and at the bottom choose Run as Administrator)

What does it do?
• Block / Disable applications on your device
• UnBlock / Enable applications on your device
• Allow UnBlock / Enable all applications at once on your device
• Allows filtering of the displayed packages for quicker decision making

So, essentially what it does is this. It will disable / block any system and third party application on your device with ease and allow you to enable / unblock the application just as easy. It also reads everything, real-time, directly from your device, so that there are no messy batch files, scripts and txt files, etc. that you have to maintain and keep track of for every device you own. I mean let’s be honest, most of us own more than one device. Phones, tablets, etc. Who wants to maintain all those scripts and files for every device? The other nice thing that this program does is allow you to, at a granular level, control what is blocked/disabled and what is not. There are quite a few scripts and things like this available in the community that give everyone a start on what to disable/block, but who wants to scour through these scripts and decide what they want or don’t want with something someone else put together. The other nice feature of the program is it will display information for you about your device. Such as Model number, Serial number and battery status. As well as whether or not your device is rooted or not.


What audience of device does it support?
This program supports many devices. It will support any device running KitKat, whether rooted or not. That’s right, if your running KitKat, your device does not need to be rooted. If you’re running anything other than KitKat, your device does need to be rooted. As long as these requirements are met the program will run. The program will also auto-detect whether or not your device is supported. So if you are not sure, plug it in and let the program tell you. If your device is not supported, it will put up a message saying as much and close the program.


Program Functionality
The first thing you need to make sure of is that USB debugging is turned on for your device. The video at the end of this OP is a must to watch. It will describe this process as well as allowing adb shell permissions.
So when you first connect your device you will need to wait for the program to detect your device and whether or not it is supported. Once this is established, usually within a couple of seconds, it will display a warning message to you reminding you to be careful with what you disable and block. Yes, it will allow you, if your device is supported, to disable/block even system dependent applications. This message will also include, if your device does not support block mode, a message indicating that block mode is not supported and that it will disable the applications. Here is a sample screenshot of this.

Attachment 3107134

Once the program has initialized, and the warning message has been presented, it will put you into the main program screen itself which will look like the following.

Attachment 3107129

From here the first thing you need to do is click the Read Phone Packages button on the upper left. This will initiate the process to start reading all of the applications on your device and then list them in a list in the window. It will also indicate to you what it detects as applications that are already disabled/blocked on your device by putting a checkmark in the box next to the application. It will look similar to this.

Attachment 3107130

As you can see it will tell you in the upper right how many applications it detects as blocked and not blocked. You will notice that on the bottom left it has an indicator that is labeled Synced. As you make changes to the device application listing this will turn red. In other words, it will indicate whether you have made changes to the device application listing since the last sync. Also, in the upper right there is a counter labeled Changed. This indicates the number of changes you have made to the device application listing since last sync.

Once you have made any changes to the device application listing an Apply button will show up in the upper left replacing the existing Read Phone Packages button, it will look like the following.

Attachment 3107131

Once you click the Apply button the existing changes you made to the device application listing will be applied to your device. Keep in mind that you can disable/block and enable/unblock applications all at the same timeand then apply those changes to your device. After you have applied the changes to your device a message will be displayed stating the status of your changes as seen below.

Attachment 3107132

Once the changes are applied to your phone you now just click the Read Phone Packages button again to reload the information from your phone and you will now notice that the application(s) you just made changes to will indicate as much in the refreshed listing. As seen below.

Attachment 3107133

You will notice that the particular application I asked it to disable/block has now a check mark next to it indicating that the device itself has disabled/blocked this application.

O.k., so far so good. Now let’s say that you want to enable/unblock all the applications on your device. Maybe you’re selling it or maybe you have an issue with it and you want your carrier to take a look at it. By clicking the Unblock All Packages button and then click Apply this will enable/unblock all applications on your device. As if it is back to factory with no changes made.

Well community people that is it. I hope you enjoy the program as much as I do and look forward to your feedback. Gatesjunior signing out…

Attempting to remove cynogenmod cannot re lock bootloader or reflash recovery topic

I was having issues with my version of cynogenmod (apps crashing, random reboots) so I decided to downgrade to an earlier update of it. While doing this my phone restarted I guess corrupting whatever was on there. It won't boot and gets stuck at the HTC logo. I can still enter HBOOT, so I tried reflashing ROMS in CWRM from there this was presenting errors also, so I used CMRW to clear out the partitions on the phone. I then thought reflashing to recovery would help it didnt I now cant enter recovery at all it just goes to fastboot. I also tried to flash a stock recovery ROM, that also did nothing. Trying to lock the bootloader also throws an error "FAILED status read failed <no such file or directory>". So im stuck as to what I can do from here I just want to put it back to stock and forget CM until more stable releases are out. I hope I haven't made a brick, any help is appreciated.

Update and remove root? topic

Is it possible to update from KK to Lollipop and then remove root? Will it cause any issues?

I need to use an application (GFE) which doesn't work with root access. Although there is a workaround in KK it does not work with Lollipop if the device is rooted. Can I just update to some ROM and then remove root?

Thanks.

[Q] HELP! Installed a currupt theme, now can't remove it! topic

Hi Guys

Been having a problem for the last one week. I'm on CM11 snapshot m7. I installed the One plus one theme, which seemed to run very well until my battery drained completely. Now when I boot my phone, it gives me an error message "unfortunately com.android.systemui has stopped working."

I figured it must be a corrupt theme so I just need to uninstall it. But I can't access settings, as even if I hit "OK" on the error message, the msg keeps reappearing, not allowing me to do anything with my phone.

The last solution I have, of course, is to do a factory reset and flash a working ROM. But then I'll lose all my app data. I tried the following solutions, but in vain. Please let me know if you guys can think of anything else, so as to save my app data! My last Titanium backup was a few months ago!

1. Tried to uninstall the app via adb, but my USB debugging is off, adb doesn't detect my device (and I can't access settings to turn it back on)
2. Tried to boot my phone in safe mode and uninstall the app but even in safe mode it shows the same error message and doesn't allow me to do anything.
3. Tried installing the ROM and Gapps hoping it would replace the filed modified by the theme, and my default theme would be back on.
4. Found an apk for the default (holosense) theme, converted it to .zip and tried flashing it through CWM.
5. Tried flashing the apk via sideload in CWM, but again my USB debugging being off, adb did not detect my phone.

[Q] How do I remove ChargerPluggedIn.ogg? topic

Hi,

I'm using the last Envi-ROM based in stock 23.0.1.A.0.167 and I would like to disable the charger plugged in notification so I tried to remove ChargerPluggedIn.ogg from /system/media/audio/ui but it says that it's an only read file and I can't do it. I'm root and I tried with RootExplorer, ES File Explorer, ADB (mv, chmod,...) but I'm not able to change the permissions neither the file nor /system folder.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

[Q] How to remove allocated data for the HTC Sync installer topic

Another issue with this phone, is that while it has the convenience of giving you the installer for HTC Sync, instead of it being a file you can access inside the phone, it is a section of the phone that is treated like a disc drive when you plug the phone to a computer. And the inconvenience is that this is taking approximately 3gb out of my phone, and I need that to store apps in the phone so I dont have to relocate then on the sd card and make a mess out of it.
Is there a way I can remove that craps out of my phone?
