"Failed to find provider info for telephony" after exchange Phone.apk in custom ROM

Hi

i try to customize some apps and then create a custom ROM, but get errors like "Failed to find provider info for telephony" afterwards.

here is what i have tried:

got the original jelly bean binaries (4.1.1 JRO03C) from the android developers site

unzipped it and imported it into the Android-Kitchen (i tried it odexed and deodexed)

downloaded the original android source (4.1.1_r1) and compiled it for maguro (i tried full_maguro-userdebug and full_maguro-user)

replaced some apps (e.g. phone or mms) in the kitchen with the ones from the android source build (i also tried to replace just one at a time)

created the ROM and flashed it to the phone

the phone boots up, but in case of the phone app i get this error every 10 - 20 seconds:

Failed to find provider info for telephony

in case of the mms app the almost identical error:

at android.os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:60)

i de-assembled the phone app from the original binaries to see if it registers itself with the given content URL, but it doesn't. so i am kinda clueless right now about what is going on here.

btw: i can open the apps for a sec when clicking on their icon. the main screen opens and then they crash right away.

thanks

Anyway to add a shutdown animation?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deezeejoey:
1) why does the GPS voice switch between a peppy young girl and another woman that sounds like she's been sniffing doggy downers?

2) Why does it sometimes read my texts out loud?

3) On the instant calling (the thing where you put the phone up to your head and it automatically called the person on the screen) mine always calls 1 of my contacts. I hang up then it starts to call the contact I wanted to call originally. Anyone else have this issue?

4) S Voice search. Why does it use a special google search with advertisements? what BS is that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Visionikz03:
1- parts of navigation use a different voice than the default that u normally hear... don't really know why. Im guessing the lady on downers is the robotic sounding default one... the other sounds like a human recording which i guess they didn't record all of the possible directions hence the two different voices

2- that sounds like a setting u may have enabled in the accessibility section of settings...

3- cant comment cuz i dont use that fetaure

4- google is the dominant search engine... the os is designed by google... as for ads thats part of owning a mobile phone unless u root and block them

Hi,

I was wondernig if any of you guys have used this app on your stock, non-rooted phones?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDMsImNvbS5uZW1hLmJhdHRlcnljYWxpYnJhdGlvbiJd

I feel like I should be getting better battery life.

One more question, if i get a replacement battery, is there a need to do anything to wipe out battery stats, or just pop in the battery and go??

Thanks again
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mouse_man:
Unfortunately not. This is what it says in the description:

Requirements: Android 2.1+ | Root permissions

Apparently it doesn't even start if you were to have downloaded it. It needs to access files only accessible for those with Root access.

As to swapping the battery, I assume it should be fine, but I haven't changed batteries myself...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ZachLL88:
Yes works great, but only works on rooted phones.

As battery calibration apps can not work and are placebos why bother .

Battery is self calibrating .

Battery stats do not need wiping but you do no harm .They play no part whatsoever in battery drain and do not recalibrate a battery .

Better Battery Stats and Wakelocks first call for battery drain .

[HTC One X] unome1233:
What is the best kernel for getting the best battery life? I have tried many and the most screen time I am able to achieve is 3-4 hours. This is better than most users but I am sure that getting 5 hours could be done with a kernel that has proper power savings. The phone is overpowered and ramps up its cpu for simple tasks like sending whatsapps. Also is there a kernel/rom combo for achieving the best battery life that work great together? So far the best for me was the Renovate 3.0 rom running a stock kernel reaching 4 hours of screen time. I am currently running maXimus 2.2 with faux 006m and getting around 3 and a half hours of screen time.

Thanks,

Have you tried Franco kernel?

Sent from my fauxed HOX running ARHD 8.0.0
[HTC One X] unome1233:
Yes and even purchased his app to see if turning off cores and under clocking would help. His kernel has some serious wifi issues so I could not keep it. But also the cores would turn on even when they are set not to. Seems that it is not perfected yet.
[HTC One X] mmk92:
wifi issues you say? have you tried updating the radio?

i diint want to open a new thread neither i want to hijack this thread. my questions is somewhat similar to the opening post with only few changes. i like to play games in this awesome screen. i use wifi for an hour or so. i need 12 hrs of battery life with around 30mins of light gaming (temple run/stick cricket/fruit ninja etc) what romand kernel should i use which would give me optimum battery life? currently i am on ARHD8.1 with stock kernel.
[HTC One X] wtfshouldidonow:
Try n3ocort3x's kernels. He's developing his kernels for the most battery life without compromising the ui smoothness and performance. Does pretty well on sticking your custom underclocked values and does a great job on undervolting.
[HTC One X] unome1233:
I saw this but it says 1.29 base for stock rom. I am running the 2.15 leak. Maybe I will put a JB build using his kernel repacked for one.

Hi Guys,

I'm a Rom Junky and i love flashing and trying new roms. And there for first of all a great great thanks to al dev's cooking for Sensation.

Second, i have a question. Of all the app's i use, 99% work fine on both data and wifi connetction. Except when i'm on a ics rom, 1 % of the app's i use, wont work on my data connection but only when i have a wifi connecton. In AOSP rom's, they work fine in both data and wifi.

Does anyone have an idee, solution or do i have to clearify the problem more?

A big thanks ahead,

Peter

I currently have the Galaxy S2. I often use the LED as a flashlight to light up my room so I don't have to get up and turn the light on. Was wondering which phone has the brightest LED? What are the Galaxy S3 and HTC one x like?
[General Questions and Answers] d0ppler302:
in my experience, i've noticed that HTC phones typically have a very bright flashlight, IMHO.
[General Questions and Answers] nablacksax:
I don't know which phone has the brightest flashlight, but I do know that it depends on the app you use. On my Droid 2, the Motorola flashlight app (Droidlight LED flashlight) is nowhere close in brightness to the ICS Torch app.

I can't imagine that the LED's differ too much from phone to phone, so I would guess you would benefit more from finding the app that lets you max the LEDs.
[General Questions and Answers] Jake1220:
My skyrocket has a pretty bright led, but my friend had an HTC that was much brighter. Can't remember the exact model.
[General Questions and Answers] system.img:
Nokia 808 pureview, if you say the best flashlight of all smartphones.

For an android smartphone, some dual led flash phones are the best!

i have a motorola defy and its very bright,

but i also check the light of an HTC m8 and was pretty impressive
[General Questions and Answers] AndroidMan97:
I've compared my HTC One M8's flash to iPhone 6's, LG G3's, Galaxy S6 Edges, any flagship, and the One is always the brightest. It has the dual flash and the default HTC flashlight app has three increments of brightness so it pushes it out as much as possible. Lights up my room pretty good, and I have a pretty large room.

Hi guys I have a Galaxy S2 and upgraded to 4.0.4 during the weekend using the official method through Kies.

It appears now I cant receive some texts from senders on the same network, or receive them much later (>6 hours) than they were sent. Does anyone else have this issue?

I'm no stranger to flashing ROMs/radios so will go down that path if necessary (tbh ics is looking a bit tired) but would like to keep my phone stock if possible.

It was rooted before update but I uninstalled superuser app before kiesing if that could have affected anything.

apparently i can't post external links but heres a screenshot of my 'about phone' page

Well folks it seems i have a problem... my gmail suddenly stopped syncing and it's driving me batty!

I've tried quite a few things to fix the issue to no avail :( It also refuses to send out emails which is pretty inconvenient and highly annoying.

I'm using the gmail app and not the stock email. Custom ROM (WildChild Sense).

Tried to change the settings, ad another email, turn off and on functions, no luck...

Any ideas would be appreciated!

ETA: Oh yeah, i've tried over the T-mo network AND Wifi, neither way does it work... other stuff (text, etc) are working fine.
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
-goto settings,

-then applications

-Then all applications

-Look for gmail and click it, then clear data

-click back and look for 'google services framework' click it, then clear data

-restart your phone and wait for everything to load up then open gmail and wait for it to sync and all should now work fine.

Note: after restarting phone you may get a message asking to accept google location service, click yes/accept

Hi mate,

You should be able to use omnius or I used fast gsm. Its the testpoint method if your wondering. I can post links if you need.

An equipment guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551494&highlight=omnius - (I didnt use this, just followed videos from fast gsm program)

Fortunately, I entered a competition on xperia blog and won a unlock code for fast gsm :D. But it only cost $15 dollars. (Bit over a tenner in the UK). Mine was locked to T-Mobile UK, but now it accepts any sim :). It only took me about 10 mins to get all the equipment i needed and unlock it. It only takes about half a min for the program to run.

Fast GSM lets you watch a video and has a step by step guide on what you need to to at what time. (it loads in the program).

Can't speak for omnius as I never tried it, but there have been a lot of good reports on here.

Just as a warning, if you do this wrong, it could very well brick your phone, to the point that you cant recover it. Also, using these methods, you CAN NOT relock the bootloader. It is permanently patched.

If you need help, just post here or PM me. I'll do what I can :)

Btw, its late now so I might not reply until about 10 in the morning. Around 11 hours from now.

Dear People,

Stop using Rom Manager!!!!!!!. I've read several posts over the last few days about people ****ing up their phone using ROM MANAGER. This piece of software does NOT work for our phones, so do us ALL a favor and STOP using it so we can stop posting:"First, you shouldn't have used Rom Manager" in your thread aptly named "Is my SGSII Bricked?".

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
If only it were this easy...the problem is that the people who use ROM manager are typically those who don't take time to do their research or read the forums before rooting (if they did, they would know better), so they probably won't see your much-needed warning until they brick their phones and come here for help...(sigh)

Can someone please explain why or link to a thread which explains why Rom Manager causes issues with these phones? I've been using Rom Toolbox Pro recently to flash new zips in queue and it hasn't given me any issues. I want to say Rom Toolbox Pro uses Rom Manager to flash the zips as this feature didn't work without the paid version of Rom Manager. I did use the Rom Manager to flash a new version of CWM. This new version launches when I use the install queue instead of the kernel version of CWM. But so far it's not caused a problem. I can still reboot into the kernel recovery when needed. The install queue is way more convenient than flashing each zip one by one. I'm still newer and I'd like to learn more about why we shouldn't do X, Y, and Z rather than just don't do it.

Also, is Mobile Odin Pro a viable alternative to Rom Manager? Thanks in advance for your input.

Read through the horror stories of people bricking their phones. If you need to flash things, do it the correct way and use CWM, not a shortcut.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AngelsNecropolis:
Right, but I'm interested in the more technical aspects as to why we shouldn't use Rom Manager, Rom Toolbox Pro, or Mobile Odin Pro. I get that it can cause conflicts and bricks but do we know what it is about the software that causes these issues? What conflicts does it cause? For example why haven't I run into a problem with the software while others have? There has to be something that is triggering these problems. Is it because I'm using Rom Toolbox Pro rather than Rom Manager directly? I just want to better understand the situation here rather than just blindly following others.

And

of course

I'll read other posts and do more personal research but if anyone out there is kind enough, knowledge enough, and has the time, I would appreciate it if you could impart some of your wisdom that way myself, and future readers of this sticky, will read this and think "Oh, now I get why I shouldn't use this app." :)
