try trinity? youll have to reflash your rom then flash trinity, no wiping anything. franco kernel uses its own ramdisk(thats where franco kernel tweaks are), and flashing your rom again replaces franco ramdisk with your roms. then trinity grabs your roms ramdisk instead of francos.

ok...appreciate it..Im running 3.2 sourcery now with stock rom...tried 4.0 but it screws up the storage..I'm not flashing anything for a week.lol

i need apollo.apk .. where i can found it ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hr Kristian:
Have you gone into settings and activated root privilege requesting? It's not necessarily set by default.

The app needs to have been allowed root access first to alter file permissions.

Also, Apollo.apk is in /system/app/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abduallah77:
apollo was removed from my phone after flashing super launcher ..

i need download link to download apollo.apk

i download v1 but it give me FC
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markey97:
Download the CM10 zip and extract the apollo apk from /system/app

And then move it to /system/app and set the permissions to rw-r--r--

And then reboot

Hope i helped

but i cant change permissions for any file :(

Maybe you could try es file Explorer

Or you could try to reinstall root Explorer

But if none works you have to use another file manager
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MintiIceCream:
Maybe your root is broken, try using titanium backup, if it's working then your root is right.

I did a full wipe and flashed the CM10.1 nightly released for the d2vzw this morning. When it rebooted I had no cell service. Looking in settings i have the proper IMEI number but my cell number is listed as 000-000-1361, MIN is 1361, PRL is 1. what can I do to fix it? I tried restoring a nandroid but the result is the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] james3kral:
RESOLVED

Okay so i believe this was my fault for flashing the latest cm 10.1 nightly with my build.prop edited to galaxy nexus values to allow google wallet functionality. removing sim card, starting phone, shutting down phone, inserting sim card, and starting phone fixed the problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBurgh:
I ran into the same problem but after trying you fix I still have no service. ?????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vpatel92:
I am having the same problem. The phone wont still activate. Please help!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dustin1980:
Any one try Odin back to stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fowen:
I have a similar issue and I have been going around and around with it without any luck. I restored my latest backup and I still have 000-000-3257 with a PRL of 1. I will try the ops recommendation and will report back.

Odin to stock is my next move unless someone else can think of something else to try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b1g.p0ppa:
Try clearing dalvik cache in recovery. Fixed it for me on AOKP. Had the exact same thing where my phone number was a bunch of zeroes. Still had service though when I hit the home button to bypass the activation screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fowen:
I tried to remove the sim, and boot, and readd the sim and boot but no go. I will try it again but then I think I am going back to stock to see if that works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
Everything still works fine. No need to get worried......it just doesn't report your phone number accurately. Its not like it actually effects functionality. I ran it with an f'ed phone number for 3 days. Everything ran fine. Don't sweat it. If its a problem, wait until tomorrows official nightly comes out tonight and you'll be set.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fowen:
My issue is it is affecting my functionality. My phone is not working and whenever I call out I get a generic message saying my phone is not active.

I restored a backup from when I first rooted. Now my phone number is listed properly and when I get into a 4G coverage area I can get data, but I still can't call out and it shows I am roaming when I am in a 3G area.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dknell:
OP on CM10.1 says that dirty flashing Unofficial 10.1 build 12/17/12 will restore data. Any luck with this fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NeoMagus:
you can try that or mastamoons both have been reported to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fls27:
I was very unlucky and the dirty flash didnt work for me. However, I did have a backup of my IMEI and was able to flash it back to my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandao.gabe:
I ran into the same problem after flashing 10.1... lost IMEI and stuck on roaming, had no backup.

To fix it i did the following

1) Odin back to stock

2) use this tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1867442

3) reprovish the phone using this code in the dialer *2767*3855#

IMEI restored and no longer on roaming
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fowen:
THANK YOU!. I could not get the IMEI/ERI tool to work, but I did get *2767*3855# code to work. I had to roll back to a older version of the official rom (I think rolling back the radio would have been OK) but I am not up and working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ethan1701:
I flashed back to stock as well and then used the same number to reprovision. After that everything worked fine it fixed the roaming, incorrect number, PRL, and all. I never lost my IMEI so I didnt do that step. but if you flash back to the cm 10.1 before they fix the data it will happen again :laugh:

wot that really sucks. and yah.. the speaker and the camera are the soft spots. the really bad thing is the back has a lot to it. i dont see them as being cheap. some guy managed to get a couple from lg.

wow, amazing, that looks JUST like what I would expect from impact...
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
This happened to a guy who went to the movie theater a few weeks back. Same exact place on the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] rbrucemtl:
Wow ...

If you search the forums there was one guy with the exact some thing... claimed he treated the phone very well and then for no reason all the glass smashed around the speaker like that.

[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
Obviously impact. Nice try though. Next.

I voided my warranty.
[Nexus 4 General] CMNein:
Looks like the crack propagated from the picture's top right "corner" of the speaker opening. Assuming that it is not the result of an impact as you say, the radius of the cut out could be too tight to account for flexing of the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] zephiK:
Uh, pretty sure official bumpers aren't meant to protect that. it's meant to make the phone land on its bumper edges. Not protect the phone's back or front. Only protection for that would be having your device to never touch the surface.
[Nexus 4 General] CMNein:
Not sure people should be so quick to assume it's always the result of mistreatment. The phone has problems with the glue, the glass is thin, if it separates even

marginally

from the back of the phone, that's enough to open the door up for cracking your glass with ease.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
happened to a friend of mine as well..not as bad as this but it is happening to a lot of people
[Nexus 4 General] OgremustCrush:
Well I'm sure many would say I'm wrong and an impact caused it, but I'm reasonably certain I know when it happened. I work on robotic equipment and was doing a calibration procedure tonight when I heard an odd crack. At first I thought it was the machine, but the sound signature was wrong and repeating the procedure didn't cause it to reoccur. I was standing straight up not leaning on anything or having any pressure against that pocket when I heard the sound. It was only later when I was heading home I noticed the odd feel of the back of the phone and discovered the crack. I figure that crack sound must have been it. Shocked me, I've never had a phone crack before, I'm very careful how I handle them.
[Nexus 4 General] m3lover1:
Man that sucks. Also recall another user that had the same shattering. Assume you ate going to give Google a call? Did the other guy get a replacement for his phone?
[Nexus 4 General] denis_y_s:
This guy has an OEM back covers, you can replace it if you want, shouldn't be too expensive.
[Nexus 4 General] OgremustCrush:
Well somewhat, a bumper still protects the back by distributing an impact along the edges of the phone as long as it is from a source wide enough it does not point through that perimeter. Drop a phone with a bumper 4 feet onto a flat surface vs one without, odds are the bumper will save the first phone. As I was not whacking my pocket against sharp edges, I don't see how having a bumper vs a full case would make a difference here.
[Nexus 4 General] itsfozzy:
This is reminding me of a time when the back window on a what was a virtually brand new Fiat Cinquecento shattered whilst parked in my drive. Fiat replaced it under warranty as these things happen from time to time. It was a hot day, and the glass ran out of room to expand (and the seal was not fitted properly), and it just shattered, I'm wondering if the glass expands at a different rate to the rest of the phone back, when it gets warm. If this is the case, then this problem will become very common.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Point of impact.

Case closed.

Too bad it happened buddy.
[Nexus 4 General] elliot.newnham:
Maybe a jean snap put pressure on it in a specific spot? Really unfortunate :crying:

I would be fairly pissed off if this happened to me, that and I'm sure 99% would just think I'm full of it.
[Nexus 4 General] brolic925t:
my first nexus was weird. like i would put it on a flat surface and it would literally move on its own. and one day i had it on the computer desk and i heard a pop and i knew it was the phone. i called t mobile and the retards on tech support was giving me a hard time n they transfered me over to assurian and i told em what happened n they passed me back to tmobile and a replacement was covered under warranty exchange. when i got my new one it did not move on its own or nothing. so its not heat or temperature. its something inside. i compared both of them and the old one would glivde for a long time and the new one would stay still. If yours moves on its own exchange it asap or else its bound to happen to you too.

btw i think they fixed this problem on the newewr revisions because ive dropped this phone like 5 times after i got my replacement with just the ringke slim case on and it hasnt shattered. like one was even a 5 foot drop. anoher was directly on the glass. a lotttt of jump scares ive gotten with this.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Wow.. I've carried all my phones like this and they all look mint, not even a scratch..
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I have the original from Nov and have had a few pretty scary drops with no case and was very surprised that I did not get a scratch..

I don't think it is so weak. I just think it matters how the phone hits. There are many posts from people who have had bad drops and have had no issues. The thing is not many people post out start a thread when it doesn't break.. They only post when it does.

I would rather have an awesome looking and feeling, somewhat fragile glass back then another cheap plastic one. Most super complex devices are somewhat fragile.. Just be careful. If can't then buy a case.

I just don't buy the glass breaking by itself when it looks just like other phones broken while in a pocket.

[Nexus 4 General] XNachoX:
Was getting into the table last night at dinner and this happened. Front pocket, heard a pop as I slid in. I had heard that the phone was fragile, but DAMN! My phone broke in the exact same place as the OP's.

[Nexus 4 General] fatum2002:
For me this fragile glass spoils the whole impression from the phone: it is so fast and smooth, but thoughts about back glass don't leave me... f*cking google and lg. They need to provide an option and produce some plastic/kevlar backs and it will solve the problem.
[Nexus 4 General] maulich:
Im still convinced the phone is being flexed very badly in your pockets.
[Nexus 4 General] _KP:
I really don't know how it can happen so easily :/ I'm not implying you guys are faking it but I just don't get it :/

My Nexus 4 has fallen down 2-3 times on tiled floor with no bumper no case just a spigen spg on the back and nothing happened :)

Also is the glass on the Optimus G any different ? Cuz at the product launch here in India they challenged the bloggers to a drop test and nothing happened to it . Some people dropped it more than 5 times at the venue and still nothing happened to it(find it hard to believe myself) :/
[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
I'm thinking there was maybe a batch that went out that had weak glass.

[Nexus 4 General] ryan stewart:
One issue is women's pockets are small, which is why the daughters phones are dying. My girlfriend's pockets are small and the phone has to be in sideways while mine have plenty of room to put them in lengthwise.

Mine has been good (so far) but the speaker opening scares me. It doesn't look to have enough support or a bezel so if you hit the corner of something that put pressure in that spot it wouldn't take much to cause a failure.
[Nexus 4 General] styckx:
Here is a question. What happens if you just remove all the glass? Are you left with a back cover with a shallow rim around it? Throw a cover on it and call it a day.. If an empty back cover is the only real disadvantage of breaking the glass (besides not having glass that is) then I really can't see it being worth the price to have it fixed..

I haven't broken mine and have it in a case but I've been seeing these pictures and I have imagined myself if it did break... I'd just pry it out and say f'it.. Yeah it sucks the back of the phone isn't pretty but it would be a cold day in hell before I'm paying some shmoe over $100 to glue glass back in my phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Yuhfhrh:
This just happened to mine. I plugged in the charger and set it on my desk for the night, and it cracked. I'm surprised it didn't shatter in my pocket all day, but setting it on the desk did. I've had it for about a month and have been nothing but gentle to it. Oh well.
[Nexus 4 General] GeoMil:
dB skins seem like the best protection / fix method.
[Nexus 4 General] hhkb:
Well my n4 glass back also shattered - opposite corner from the speaker grill. It didn't drop, but my 1 y/o daughter knocked it against a piece of hard plastic. I guess she got the angle just right and bam. This thing is fragile - my iphone4 was a tank compared to it (it took far more abuse...).

I called google and they said they could send a replacement, but it would be up to LG to decide if I should be charged or not. I don't have time for that nonsense, so I'm going to just order a case and forget about it :).
[Nexus 4 General] broaaron:
The back of my nexus 4 just shattered as well..

About an hour ago i went to pick up my phone (it was laying on some mail on top of my counter). when I picked it up it made a popping noise, the back shattered and you could hear it cracking for about 30 minutes before it totally stopped. The worst part is that the cracks aren't smooth, its really rough and even gave me a small cut on my finger.

There was absolutely zero impact, i literally just picked it up and you could hear it pop.

I haven't heard anything back yet. It's been over a month so I'm not expecting to hear from them.
[Nexus 4 General] sspyed:
I know the OP was posted a long time ago but just my two cents:

I keep my secondary N4 completely naked (I think cases/bumpers are ugly as hell) and my wife's Persian has knocked it off my 5ft high glass table onto our tile floor like 4 times so far. It's dropped on corners 3 times and once flat on its back yet I haven't had a so much as a crack or even a scratch anywhere on the phone, corners included.

Given this, I really have a hard time understanding cracks coming out of nowhere. Especially ones that look like that, haha
[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
I think some devices were shipped out with weak glass. There's always going to to problems in the manufacturing process. Just because you have been lucky doesn't mean we all have perfect devices.
[Nexus 4 General] sspyed:
Right, and in the same breath we should also consider that because one or two fellers have Mission Impossible self-destruct phone backs we shouldn't get a thread full of guys saying gorilla glass my ass or told you glass back was a bad idea! because life is random, is all I'm saying ;)
[Nexus 4 General] paul c:
Well mine has developed a hairline crack in the corner where the lens/flash is - it slipped out of my hand and fell all of 2 inches onto the table! Admittedly the impact was direct to that corner, but just goes to show bad design (what's wrong with aluminium, you can even create nice curves) and bad execution (obviously far too thin).

Anyway, that was on day 2, on day 4 the case arrived, so not a problem!

Silly Google/LG
[Nexus 4 General] bsharwood:
Back cracks

I'm just throwing in my 2¢ into this discussion. I got this phone about 2 weeks ago and have been pretty gentle with it. No case, but I've never been much of a case person. I put the phone in my front pocket mostly, and I don't wear too skinny jeans. I actually didn't notice the issue until I was wondering why I was getting a slight side glare from my pictures, especially when it was sunny. That's when I noticed a series of hairline fractures along the back, one of which was quite close to the camera lens. It doesn't make the phone unworkable, obviously, but it's pretty amazing the thing is so fragile, and it does affect my picture taking ability. You can barely see it in the picture (unlike the clearer picture where there was a clearer impact spot) Maybe I move to the new Samsung?
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Yes please move to Samsung.
[Nexus 4 General] smrots:
To all of you wisecracks dismissing spontaneous cracks...

Yes, glass can break spontaneously, without impact

Look up:

[Nexus 4 General] redeuxx:
Mine cracked near the camera for no apparent reason as well. It was just sitting on the counter.

I bought a replacement back from eBay for around 60 dollars and replaced it myself. There are lots of tutorials out there that can help you out with this if you decide to replace it yourself.

The tragic part if my story is that for months I had been using it naked. I decided to order a soft case for a few bucks just to try it out and before it arrived, the glass back cracked.

[Nexus 4 General] Yosh-78:
Well I've dropped mine a few times but I have Ghost Armor on the back glass and I'm using the Google bumper case. Not saying that's the reason for not breaking but there is a chance.

I would recommend Ghost Armor to everyone, you can't even tell it's there and it adds a little grip to the phone. :thumbup:

I bought a white one with the bumper and it looks exactly the same and I couldn't tell you what happened to it. I woke up put it in my pocket and an hour later it was broken.

And those of you who say its somehow our fault and we arent telling the full story may want to see how many of us that are saying the exact same thing.

Nexus 4 shattered over speaker
[Nexus 4 General] perfoliate:
Yep it was poor design over the speaker. Super thin glass basically hanging out over empty space underneath. All it takes is the slightest pressure or flexing under the right conditions and it just spiderwebs from there. They could have at least put a bevel on the speaker openings edge. The worst feeling is having to buy another glass back knowing its only a matter of time until it happens again. Search around for an alterative if you can. One guy is making wood replacement backs that he has for sale and their pretty inexpensive too.
