So it appears I am not the only one that can't find this elusive .apk

[Moto X Q&A] lowvolt1:
I think I have found what I was looking for. I believe that the dialer.apk is in fact the phone.apk as well as dialer.

via my slapped KIT KAT moto X rockin on Verizon
[Moto X Q&A] mwalt2:
I am not sure I understand. Dialer.apk is the only phone app on the stock Motorola rom. If you look at the 'Phone' from the app drawer App Info, it lists the app as 'Dialer'. If you use a program like ROM Toolbox Pro (just what I have :)), it lists Dialer.apk and Dialer.odex in /system/priv-app using the file explorer (or any other root file explorer I'm sure). Under the App Manager, it only lists Dialer as a system app with the phone icon shown. There is no com.android.phone shown. I have a feeling your 'apk freezer' is not showing things correctly.

Edit - lol, guess you figured it out while I was typing away :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
This will be the umpteenth request for help I've made.

I'm going to be as brief but detailed as possible.

Sch-I535.

Using GSM band with Straight Talk AT&T.

Stock roms works fine. Custom stock also.

AOSP/AOKP/CM roms flash fine and work fine but won't let me send sms.

I can receive sms fine.

Calls, data and mms work fine.

APN settings are fine.

Signal is fine.

I ALWAYS clean flash.

Using latest CWM touch.

Tried with recommended gapps and no gapps. No luck. I've odinned back to stock, rerooted and reflashed. No luck.

Tried battery pull, fix permissions, factory reset and reboot. No luck.

I'm at my wits end and I abhor the thought of remaining tethered to stock roms or their custom counterparts.

I am BEGGING for help.

If you need any more info please ask.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
Have you tried 3rd party texting apps like go out handcent? And are you using hangouts or stock sms. What about uninstalling sms app and reinstalling stock or custom one from the theme section. That's all the help I can offer. Not too knowledgeable on all this but they may be solutions if you didn't already try them
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
Tried Go sms and hangouts. Tried uninstalling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
I've never encountered that. Did you try searching the forum or maybe a Google search? And when did it start, and for how long? Also which versions of aosp/cm have you flashed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
Tried searching. This is my 5th thread I think. This started when I flashed PAC Man rom. I've tried PAC Man, Slim Bean, CM 10.2 and 11. No cigar.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
You really shouldn't create new threads. I know it sucks when you don't get very many responses but the Moderators would rather u bump your original thread than create a new thread as that just gives them more threads to clean up. With that said I am gonna take a look at your log. I want to help u since I know you have had this issue a while :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
The SMS rils are trying to send as CDMA, not GSM. This kind of info would have been helpful in the dev threads you were posting about roms not working.

Was this a Verizon phone you brought to StraightTalk or did you get this phone intended/coded for StraighTalk? And yes, that matters, especially with non-stock roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
It's verizon phone I brought to straight talk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
How do I fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
I'd have to dig into the stock rom to see what's different that allows you to use GSM for calls; obviously, the stock rom allows for a GSM switchover.

Here's the issue: 99% of the people downloading the Verizon S3 roms are on Verizon and therefore on CDMA/LTE. The only way to get your phone to work properly with these roms is to get a developer to modify the RILs to allow a GSM device to work with the rom. That's going to be a tough sell, since they have little incentive to do so, unless they also have a GSM S3. You can PM/talk to some devs and see if they can help, but many don't know how to code RILs, which is why they're using the CM repo... it's far more technical than just compiling a rom (I speak from experience with the old Droid 2 Global that had a GSM switch).

Hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
I still don't understand how I can receive SMS but can't send. Calls work fine and MMS does too. Wouldn't those be messed us if what your saying is true?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Possibly. The issue lies with 'ImsSms'; it's set to CDMA for sending, rather than GSM. That could be something in the rom with the network settings applying to all but the SMS settings, or it could be related to the RIL and how its coded.

I haven't seen any other GSM users post about their experiences with these roms, so I don't have much data to go off. I assume you've fiddled with the 'Preferred Network Type' and set it to 'Global' (in Gummy)? In Other roms, it's choosing the LTE/GSM/CDMA choice. That would activate GSM if it were available to the phone, whereas if I choose that on the Verizon network, it kills my connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
I tried that but it might not hurt to fiddle with it again. I'll try and report back. Bring another logcat with me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
Here's something weird: I can't send text but I can send an MMS with text. Wtf?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
That's actually not weird at all if you have a data connection.

On Verizon CDMA, sms goes out over the 1xRTT frequency, but mms goes out over EvDO or LTE; on GSM, sms goes out on the GSM frequency, but mms goes out on the HSPA+ or LTE.

Now, if you don't have a mobile data connection, there's something seriously wonked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
Ah okay. Well I still cannot send SMS. I played with the preferred network settings but nothing changes. Any suggestions? Isn't there a jar file that controls sending through gsm and CDMA? Couldn't I delete the CDMA jar file and the gsm take over? Is that dumb? Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
I don't know if it's that simple. I don't think deleting the CDMA jar will do anything other than prevent you from using CDMA. Have you seen this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069850
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
That seems unbelievably complicated...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
lol right? It probably works, though. Here's another thread that *may* work and seems more simplified and I'm guessing is more like what you initially did: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31095006&postcount=106

So the question is: What's different in 4.4 roms from stock that makes it so hard to connect to gsm....?

Hey, so have you tried flashing a 4.4 rom built for an AT&T device? If you need GSM, those builds will have GSM device files and since they have the same hardware, that *might* actually work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
I tried the KitKat build when it first came out. I can't remember if SMS worked or not but I remember it bootlooping. May not be a bad idea to try it out again. What the hell, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Yea, you don't have much to lose. It goes without saying, but do a full data/dalvik/cache wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
Flashed the latest PAC Man nightly (it's 4.3) and ran a logcat while sending an SMS. This seems significant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Now that's interesting... that's a GSM RIL, but it's giving a 'device not ready' error code. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
What does that mean?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Generally that means the modem isn't responding. When I had that issue with the D2G, we had to rework the RIL to get it to work, which is really not something you want to do.

Have you encountered anyone else with Straightalk that's trying to flash these roms? It might be good to know if others have the same issues or different ones. It's hard to pin-point issues off one device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
No one I know. Sorry. This really sucks...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] GeekTechMedia:

How long did it take kingo to install the drivers?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cray4phones:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] moosiemooses:
Ive tried but that method fails. Goes straight to odin mode. The stock recovery doesnt work either.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] professorfoxx:
Plug your phone into the computer using the usb and let windows find your drivers. Then make sure (above all) that you have enabled USB degugging. It will always fail if you don't. I use kingo and I have a Sprint Mega as well and it took about 2-3 mins for kingo to root it. I kept it stock because I haven't seen any roms or recovery that I'm sure will work right now but I was able to remove all the crappy bloatware off.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] moosiemooses:
Thank you. Ive rooted awhile ago. I just redid the twrp recovery method and it worked. I see there are roms out for other variants of the 6.3. Just wonder if any will work for ours.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] professorfoxx:
I see a lot out there too but I'm leery on trying any out only because I use this phone as my daily driver and can't mess it up right now. I might dedicate some time this weekend to trying out CM11. I'll let you know if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] moosiemooses:
Just tried slimkat. Failed... I think they all will. If you have any luck let me know.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] moosiemooses:
Not for our device(that I know of). I've only used the 2 step process.

Hey there is a tar file to flash there actually 2 of them philz recovery which is based off of CWM and TWRP. All you need is ODIN v3.04

These recoveries are for the i9205 aka meliusltexx but they work flawlessly on the mega. I am currently running philz.

I also was able to get CM11 to work on the Mega but only with Data. Outgoing texting and voice does not work and the calibration for the accelerometer and the gyroscope are off so as you can imagine rotating the screen is a pain in the ass but you can turn off screen rotation and still enjoy using the rom but again Mobile networking is not working but Mobile Data is along with free wifi hotspot and incoming texting.

Safestrap isn't currently working on MK2. Hashcode is close but not quite there yet. Hyperdrive should work once Safestrap is working but it is MJ7. Luckily MK2 seems to be the only backwards compatible update, at least back to MJ7.

Hey all... thanks for this... Sorry about the lack of knowledge and familiarity on this phone, its my wife's phone and after she took the, I'm thinking the MJ7 OTA, her phone has been whack! So I was trying to get a quick answer on a way to get her on something that was more stable. The searches I did do seemed not to answer specifically.. so maybe I wasn't asking the right question......

I have the 1.70 SafeStrp working on her phone now... Just waiting on a good ROM to flash..

Again, thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] paulsg63:
Oh. Correction , it's 3.70 Safestrap..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
So that version is a beta for the MJ7 base, which means she would need to flash the ROM over the stock slot. This is risky as it could brick the device but so far no one has had a problem. Personally I would wait it out until it's stable, which shouldn't be too long.

For right now, there is a thread in the development section on how to root that base. Once you're rooted you can install Xposed framework and Xposed modules to gain most of the functionalities of custom ROMs. You can just google Xposed to learn about it.

If she doesn't want to wait and doesn't mind risking the device, HyperDrive is the most popular ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] m4f1050:
Today I noticed on one of my Galaxy Mega phones that it's missing the Android System app! But the phone works fine. Is there a way to restore this system app?

Any clues?

Steps (only for bootloader unlocked ZU's running 14.2.A.1.136):

1. Download and copy the latest SuperSU zip to your internal memory/SD card: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

2. Download my fixed kernel with dual recoveries from here: https://db.tt/0HagsJRy (The recoveries are taken from [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]'s XZDualRecovery. All credits go to him.)

3. (If you already have 4.3, skip this step) Download and flash 14.2.A.1.136. The FTF's for different models are available in General and Android Development sections.

4. Once the FTF is flashed correctly, flash the downloaded kernel image from Step 2 using this fastboot command: "fastboot flash boot kernel-136-dual.img"

5. Reboot the phone ("fastboot reboot"). When the Sony logo appears and the LED turns violet, hold volume up until you get into Philz Touch [OR] hold volume down to enter TWRP.

6. Flash the SuperSU zip from Step 1.

7. Reboot and you're done.

IMPORTANT: If you use "Xposed Framework", you need this version for it to work on 4.3: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48484642&postcount=6846

Seems to me like ppl miss the point that Sony actually made a update that requires you to unlock your bootloader for something as simple as root.

Don't get me wrong. This is great. But they got exactly what they wanted...

Unlocking bootloader should be for custom rom. Not root on original rom.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
True that. I don't like it either.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] natispain:
Then to flash the boot image and then the advance kernel I have to do the same?

Select kernel to flash?

I did this way and my phone semi bricked, than I survived it reflashing only the boot. And now I am afraid if my phone bricks if I flash the advanced kernelk again. And violet light to enter cwm mode? I don see it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^ I personally would have flashed it in a cmd (aka terminal) session. (windows key and r at the same time then type cmd and hit enter)

There (once you've changed to your adb/fastboot directory, and copied the *.img to the same directory) you type in the "fastboot boot adv-stock-v5.img" command. (I made assumptions you've already set yourself up to fastboot files)
