Not ideal, but since you are rooted you could download the apk file. Name it Clock.apk. Create a folder called Clock in

/system/app and place the Clock.apk in there. Reboot and see if it worked.

Edit:

Do so at your own risk though. While I can't imagine it would create any problems. Stranger things have happened. Just fair warning.

No you should be good. You obviously need to do this with a root file explorer though. I would think it should work. I've done similar before without a problem.

Weird,I thought for sure that would work. It should show up in your app drawer I'd think yeah. Unless it's just a widget, in which case you'd have to just add it to your screen. I don't know much about that app.

I'm out of ideas. It's a strange issue. Good luck with it!

[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
First, you need to give details, what device, model number, android version, locked bootloader, custom recovery, etc. what have you modified to loose your efs / imei?

More important, have you done that recommended backups of especially efs partition before any tinkering?

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

Persist is a very unique file and belongs to only a specific device, I don't think it's interchangeable and especially not between two different models, furthermore I don't believe you can make so drastic system changes with locked bootloader...

So if you haven't done a backup of your efs / persist files you won't get this fixed easily. Maybe a good idea to visit the device specific forum of z3 and see if any help threads exist, they know the device best there and can tell you if it can be restored at all..

Edit: the persist file stores your WiFi mac address, without it a connection to WiFi isn't possible, that's normally one of the things you backup first.. It's normally restored via adb

Have you tried to reset your network settings in your device settings, wireless & networks, more..

But I don't know if this helps

I don't understand how it would just dissapear iv tried restoring some old nandroid backups with no success I'm really at a loss with this if the file is device specific then I'm stuffed cos I just don't have it its very strange
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Boot to bootloader and check what it says next to "OS". That's your current firmware version. You need to find one that matches it, and if S-On you'll need to find the same or newer firmware version.

For example: On my HTC 10 my firmware version is 2.41.617.3. To get matching firmware, I need to flash one that matches the third part of the version number (617)

To know if it is the same is easy, and for newer I would need 2.<biggernumberthan41>.617.x or for the first number to be bigger of course.

But be sure that the RUU is for the Desire 828 dual sim before you try flashing it

Why there aren't many custom roms for galaxy j5?they are only 2 or 3 out there and there are many roms for less popular devices..
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Cause custom rom developers are supporting only the devices they actually own (it's a hobby after all :)), if non of them owns it I goes unsupported.. It's a low (mid-low with luck) end device, nothing spectacular about it and the chance for such devices to get development support tends to zero, maybe it's just bad luck BUT the golden rule is always to research before you buy when it comes to custom roms, etc. (and pretty much for anything else)

Is there a way to install xposed on my sm-t377w tab e? I have been able to install twrp and get root on my galaxy tab e t377w but I am wondering if there is any way to install xposed
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Xposed works on all devices as long as root privileges are available and from lollipop on a custom recovery is needed, only installation process varies from kitkat and below and from lollipop and above.

Below lollipop you just need to install the apk, above lollipop you need to flash a zip and install the apk but careful here, first thing to do is a complete backup!

That's all you'll need:

[General Questions and Answers] NAROUTO:
Hello guys.

a little confused about something.

Why we need to unlock Nexus devices bootloader to flash stock ROM ? It's stock OEM .

In Samsung devices (OEM unlock ) option how it can lock the bootloader while Samsung has unlocked bootloaders . I have note5 with custom Rom and after I disabled OEM unlock option in the developer options.

Restart then . my devices won't boot custom binary blocked my frp lock .recovery too.

I know FRP PROTECTION. Is made by Google to verify your account if device STOL .

Last thing. I have huawei Honor 5x tried to flash system. IMG via fastboot command but always error (cannot load system. IMG)

I don't know why! System and boot and recovery all in the adb folder with right patch. I flashed recovery and boot successfully .

I have Galaxy note5 and huawei 5x .

Really need help not trolling
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Huawei 5x:

Try renaming the file, for example 'twrp.img' and then your command for flashing TWRP will be:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Then boot TWRP by typing:

fastboot boot twrp.img

Samsung:

No idea why this is happening but why don't you just type in your account details then?

Nexus:

I don't own one but with locked bootloader you should be able to flash signed firmware..
[General Questions and Answers] NAROUTO:
Okay dude .

No problem with Samsung because they using unusual stuff like Knox counter and tima .

HwI 5X

The problem with me not able to flash the system. IMG via fastboot flash system.IMG. rename it not working too. But flashing stock recovery or twrp working and boot.IMG too.

I flashed stock ROM dload folder method but I want to know

What this means {CANNOT LOAD SYSTEM.IMG} ERROR

Finally Nexus devices won't flash anything stock or non stock .

Without unlocking it . no problem. I think every manufacturer has his own rules to control the bootloader as it's not open source { not part of Android system } :cyclops:

I think all manufacturers dream to have closed source system like OIS .

Samsung always have some secret source don't release it .like ART :) xposed bug :p

Deleted a system.app and now looking for help

Device Samsung GS7 - Active ATT

Recently rooted my phone, it's not the first phone i rooted. I had some glitch issues in my settings menu, such as unable to swipe left or right into other categories, so i tried to resolve it, and one thing lead to another and i deleted the settings app [com.android.settings] with the use of titanium backup. I made sure to backup the system app, but apparently it didnt fully backup the app. I tried to install the backup file[tar.gz] through odin, and tried using flashfire, both which didnt work. titanium backup sees the file but doesnt appear under [batch action] restore options. :confused:

One method i tried was unpacking the img.ext4 from the rom i used, in order to get to the apk files and from there, grabbing the settings apk and transferring into the phone and installing it. It was unsuccessful.

Im also aware i can or should just reflash the rom and start from point one, but i am trying to avoid that from now.

Any advice, and or even point me into the a forum that could help, would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has a root galaxy s7 or s7 edge, if you could make a copy of your settings app, i guess through titianium backup and uploaded here, that could be great, i tried searching for it app on the web and forums but to no avial.

[General Questions and Answers] barrack1:
Hi,

Do rooted apps implicitly have every permission allowed eg. can access storage, contacts, location, internet? Or are they still restricted by the built in permissions systems (for Marshmallow) and each permission has to be requested and granted at runtime? For Kitkat/LL, are rooted apps restricted to the list of permissions detailed in playstore?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The permissions that each app requires are built in the app. Some of those permissions are default and some have to be requested by the app and granted by the user. Each apps available permissions can be controlled by the user.
[General Questions and Answers] barrack1:
Sorry for being trite but does that also apply to root-permission apps? So if a rooted app like fstrim only has "run at startup" in the required permissions, then it should be generally safe to run, since it does not have any other permissions?

And do playstore approved apps list their required permissions accurately or can those apps ask for more permissions than the ones listed in the description?

[General Questions and Answers] rajesh00:
Daily bump!!!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Refer to the answer I gave you, no matter how you ask, the answer is the same. It's an app, it has the permissions it requires built in, some are granted by default, some you have to grant and some are default. There is no standard. The apps in playstore should list the permissions they require, whether or not you can add permissions depends on the app and what you want to do.

If there is a specific reason why you're asking this then just ask whatever it is that you want to try.
