[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
no need to flash the entire gapps on your case ;)

download the latest google play apk in the themes and apps section of optimus one

search ES file manager/explorer (forgot exact name) apk on google from your pc (legit because the app itself is free)

now move the two apks to ur phone with usb

DONT INSTALL GOOGLE PLAY

install es file manager

open root mode something like that and grant the app root permission

now copy and paste ur google play apk to /system/app

AND LONG PRESS IT, CHANGE PERMISSIONS to rw-r--r-- (as same as all other system apps in the same folder)

save permissions

reboot ur phone at this point

bam!! google play is now back there in ur app drawer :D

becareful next time and do backups before touching red buttons in TB next time, mate :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shabbirzk:
Google Play is back

Thank you so much Miasmic.

1. for getting my query resolved with detailed explanation

2. For getting me introduced to ES file explorer. Ive been diving into its utilities since then.

Update: For anyone trying out this solution, you shall find the option to give root permission to ES under ES settings, also make /system as mount to write.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
youre welcome! dont forget to uninstall the independent ES explorer apk for now and get one from google play so u have future updates :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] iozefini:
i have followed step by step your explanations but no succes.

no google play on app drawer :(

any ideas?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lolphirae:
Considering that flashing gapps from recovery takes about half a minute, I do not understand what this thread is about. Flash the zip and move on, what is the problem here? :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] iozefini:
can you explain a lilttle bit more?

thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rr0yy:
Explain what you did step by step.. i will tell you where you went wrong.

Another thing.. tell me.. have you rooted your phone..

if yes.. have you flashed (installed) Recovery??

And which ROM are you using in phone??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] iozefini:
1.playstore apk 3.5.19 i've moved it in system/app with ES File Explorer Manager

2.permissions change to rw -r -r

3.reboot

result nothing :)

i have Android 2.3.3 stock.

yes, the Optimus is rooted.

i didnt install Recovery.

my problems have started when i've changed the microsd card with a bigger one. i've made a copy of previous card but some native Android apps like playstore, maps,navigation just simply disappear but somehow maps and navi are back now.

later edit

until your answer i will prepare a backup if i will need to restore (factory reset).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Unscrewed:
Why can't you just do this?

1. Download Gapps from goo.im/gapps/.

2. Put the .zip on your SD Card.

3. Boot into recovery and clear your cache and Dalvik cache.

4. Flash the Gapps .zip and reboot.

And you're done.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rr0yy:
Do you use link2sd or app2sd?? There is no other reason your system apps will disappear because

of changing card. First you check the permissions again.

If they are all ok and still doesnt work.. then download any gb gapps.. unzip it in your pc.

You will find two files.. MarketUpdater.apk and Vending.apk.. place it in same folder system/

app. Same permissions for both.. not sure if this works on Stock gb.

And we dont know what all files you are missing.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] iozefini:
ok.thanks a lot now its all back.

thanks guys

-Just found out that the su server is most likely down, so this is most likely an issue of that.

Need a little help as I am a tad confused. I recently flashed to Mijjz new ICS Blend FC18, coming from Blazer 4.0 gb rom. Wiped all as recommended, and everything installed ok, but I noticed I couldn't update my maps.apk, so I did a hard reset and that fixed it, after every rom install I update my su binary (I know it's not necessary) after I installed the rom I attempted to update my binary and it immediately failed at downloading manifest check internet connection, I've tried with wifi and without and update profile and prl, it fails no matter what. I figured, maybe it was a rom issue so I odin'd back to EL29 and attempted to update, and it still fails immediately at downloading manifest, with no attempt to update. Any ideas why? I've also attempted to fix permissions in CWM with no avail.

-Also forgot to mention that restoring the blazer rom (when updating still ran ok) didn't fix it.

-odin'd to stock eg30 and updated to eko2 then rooted, still no fix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
Guess nobody knows?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gerken918:
I had the same problem flashed cm7 to my i500 and bam binaries failed, not only did they fail but the market update for su won't work either. No sweat as I backup the apk from my tablet and install. This didn't fix the problem so I try to update the binaries on the tablet as well as my girlfriends phone. None working, my guess is the server is down. Just found this post while trying to troubleshoot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brymaster5000:
same problem

I have the same problem. Just rooted and debloated the other day on the Inc2 and was getting this binary update failure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
It's gotta be man, it's been a while since I've updated it but I'm assuming the new roms already have the new su with the updated binaries. I was scared as hell at first, I thought my radios got hoarked or something but I connected to net with and without wifi so I know they're ok. Hopefully this is the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
Good to know I'm not alone. I thought the new kernel messed up my phone or something for a second Lol but it's fine, thank god.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
Is yours failing at downloading manifest too?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigbri9:
just came here to say "me too". Installed CM7 on my droid x2, and I can't update the SU binary. The instructions I read here told me not to open the market to update until after I updated the SU binary. So it seems as though I'm stuck until the server comes back online.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
Man, that's harsh stuck on cm7 without gapps? I'd throw my phone at the closest ugly person I could find jk. Hopefully it will be up soon, but a few people have said they've been trying for days now and it's still down

As per title... I found very interesting the nfc enabler for GB by fonzi09.

There's a chance to have something similar for the new ICS releases?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaitken98:
Our phone doesn't have nfc, unless you're using the Korean version.

But there's still some hope in nfc sd cards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
They do have NFC

THESE phones do come with NFC if your phone is i9100P it has NFC...:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaitken98:

Damn, didn't know that, well my phone's obsolete now :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisnkazz:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattP79:
I bought a GT-I9100P Orange branded handset on Ebay. Rooted and unlocked it and using it on TMU. Aside from scanning my PayWave VISA card (which is encrypted - so nothing interesting to find) there's little use for NFC in the UK. Orange have a "Treats" app allowing their customers to get free food in EAT at the moment. That's about it... Google Wallet / VISA payWave / MasterCard PayPass are not available in the UK (yet) and even Orange's own QuickTap payment platform isn't available for their GT-I9100P though is available on two Samsung Bada OS phones... I get the impression I paid more for the P model for no good reason. That said I'm resolved to wait for the carrier firmware update. There's too many issues with Root access and payment platforms and also NFC compatibility with AOSP or non-GT-I9100P dedicated ROMs.

FWIW CheckFUS shows 4 GT-I9100P models - France (Orange), Italy (TIM), Slovenia (Mobitel) and UK (Orange). None yet have a ICS ROM.

Source Article

Samsung’s highly anticipated next-generation flagship smartphone has reportedly been pictured. Dutch mobile blog GSM Helpdesk on Wednesday published what it claims to be an official press photo of the Samsung Galaxy S III, obtained from an unnamed source. The site also reasserts a wide range of specs exclusively reported by BGR over the past few months, including a full HD Super AMOLED display, Android 4.0 with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI and a 1.5GHz quad-core processor. The device pictured is in line with previously leaked renders, though we can now see that Samsung appears to have opted for capacitive hardware buttons in place of the on-screen navigation buttons seen in other Android 4.0 builds. A potential date for Samsung’s announcement has been reaffirmed as well; the weather in London and the Unpacked Event calendar entry pictured on the home screen point to a May 22nd press conference in London.

I have tried to update the host file manually and this has not worked... as system is R/O

Tried setprop system.mount rw still no joy....

Just wondered if anyone had got anything working....

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] die_for_rock_vn:
You can change hosts file with rooted device. I suggest use Es File explorer for full access R/W file system. If you edit hosts file on windows, you must convert it using dos2unix before copy to A500.

ROOT WITH

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1546593

DO NOT INSTALL FACELOCK or ACER RING

then after you open your tablet.

1 - Launch A500 Remount

2 - Press /system (Full access in ICS LEAK)

reboot your tablet

redo 1 and 2

then

use root explorer, go to system and press r/w button to change to r/w that should work
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
1) Get root as mentioned earlier

2) download AdFree from the Play Store. It works with ICS

This is the easiest method
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
This is a good method, however I noticed some problems with links to sites with ad redirects not working with AdFree. ROM Toolbox on the Play Store has an ad blocking option built in that has some more options (such as blocking risky sites or porn) so you can tweak to your liking.
[Acer Iconia A500] haag498:
AdAway also works, plus it has quite good block lists (AdFree misses some ads for me).

Thanks guys... I have root access already but still cant get R/W....

Do you follow what I said or you just quick read..

the R/W you get it by doing what I said.

sometimes it's just weird, but reboot, and remount in RW then USE ONLY ROOT EXPLORER to mount R/W system/ others didn t make them work...

and command line neither...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Josheek318:
That sucks. That almost happened to me this time when I changed my phone to GNote from Atrix. ATT tried to pull a fast one by charging me the same price for 3gb of data. It wasn't a difficult process but they did have to make a claim. Nowadays even supervisors can't change the plan... Thankfully, i keep a good eye on my usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adelmundo:
I wonder if you guys can get the unlimited data plan back with the iPhone 2G (aka Original iPhone) trick. Get an old iPhone, activate it on iTunes and it will get you the unlimited data plan since that was the only plan available for the iPhone 2G. Don't know if that loophole was closed but some people have claimed they tried it in December and it was still working as of then.

EDIT: Looks like that loophole has been closed and no longer works

Beats getting overcharged i guess buat am able to use my phone normally so maybe now att is using there heads

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zoso28:
They've been doing it for months and its everywhere not just in select areas but most people wouldn't ever use enough data to get throttled.

The only real change is that now they've set the throttle cap at 3gb for HSPA+ phones & 5gb for LTE phones. Up until last month they were basing the throttling on being in the 'top 5%' of other users in your area, which resulted in people on 'unlimited plans' getting throttled under 2gb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carhigh:
Whoops I hitbthebthanks button. People are not getting throttled like they are supposed to. Its pretty easy to see. They are being selective
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zoso28:
Well thanks for the thanks anyway lol.. I was always suspicious of how they were throttling but now that they've set some actual numbers in stone I feel a little better about it. I'm a little irritated though that I pay for two identical unlimited data plans (for the past 5 years) and now one gives me 3GB while the other gives me 5GB.. even though I pay the same for both.. Oh well, its better than randomly being throttled at 2GB I guess.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Well...it is true that they are supposedly trying to only throttle in areas that are congested

That could explain the lack of throttling of some.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Everyone can hate me, because I know the cool thing is to think AT&T is the spawn of Satan, but I think they handled the Unlimited issue pretty well. Back when it was first introduced, it was shortsighted to think that they could provide unlimited usage at higher bandwidths for the same price forever.

But they did let us grandfather our plans, even on to LTE. And they did respond to the 2GB throttling rumors quickly and fairly. And if it is true they are only throttling in selected areas where it is needed, that is also pretty fair. Although once they next iPhone LTE comes out, that will end quickly :D

But I do think a 5GB cap, then Edge speeds after, is a crafty way to first move the highest users to the tiered plans. On the Tiered plans you can add more data for an extra cost and keep the LTE speeds. On the Unlimited plans you cannot. Eventually the highest users will get sick of being throttled and will eventually pay up for the usage. And as LTE is adopted and the phones get more bandwidth hungry, it it will likely push us all out eventually. 5GB simply won't be enough. The top phones just will not be "functional" at Edge data speeds.

But for now, I feel like I am getting the usage I need for the price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] i_max2k2:
I agree, paying $30 for 5gb LTE data is reasonable, except my area doesnt have LTE and that sucks, Sprint's coverage isnt as good everywhere else, for what I'm paying I'm happy with my plan.

Let's not forget about the 3 billion dollars ATT just spent trying to buy T-Mobile. They spent 3 billion JUST trying to buy them. Something everyone knew wasn't going to happen anyway.

Also let's not forget ATT and Verizon both hold the most unused air spectrum.

Now imagine if instead of trying to be greedy and merge with T-Mobile, ATT spent 3 billion dollars on developing its towers and expanding into unused spectrum. That would have created jobs and destroyed any reason to throttle any customer even after an LTE iPhone comes out.

ATT did not handle this well.they failed at their merger them a few months later announced official throttle limits, effectively blaming its customers for congestion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Let me expand my point a bit more.... when I bought my Unlimited data plan, I did it on the original iPhone. That was at EDGE speeds. And I still get unlimited data at EDGE speeds, AT&T did not take that away from me.

I it just a personal opinion, but I think it is crazy to expect unlimited LTE bandwidth for $30 bucks a month.
