[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
OK, so I was restoring all of my apps and realized that now I don't have the stock LG Email. I rely on this app for my email.

Does anyone have it so I can put it into my system?

EDIT: I pulled the LGEmailbin.apk and odex files from the E980 KK version, put them in System/priv-app and set permissions to 644. I then rebooted and the app doesn't appear in the app drawer or in Settings/Apps/All

:'(

Also, the Quick Remote is missing Verizon from its set top box section. I need this in order to get my Verizon boxes working because even though they are Motorola, they never work when you choose Motorola from the list.

I tried flashing the old E980 Quick Remote flashable (from JB I think), but it doesn't work. The E988 version has 2 files, which the old E980 version has 3.

I'm going to try and extract the files from the E980 backup I made and replace the E988 versions with the E980 ones. I hope it works!

EDIT: Similar results here. I pulled the E980 KK version of the Qremote.apk and QuicksetSDK.apk files and replaced the E988 version under System/app. Permissions were set to 644 and after a reboot, Quick Remote disappeared from the app drawer and Apps list under settings.

I've never had something like this happen before. Usually, the apps will appear, but may not work if they are not compatible. For example, if I were to take some app from my Samsung tablet and put it in the system folder of my phone (with permissions set correctly), the app will usually appear in the app drawer after a reboot, but when you open it up, it may not display correctly, work correctly, or may simply crash. In all my years with Android has an app just not appeared at all in the app drawer. This makes me wonder if something is scanning the phone's system upon bootup and disabling anything that doesn't match the footprint of the original firmware (like if a system file is bigger/smaller than what the firmware originally came with, it would be like, "NOPE! That isn't right! DISABLE!!!!")

PS: for both sets of apks (Email and remote), I also tried installing them, and they wouldn't install either. I've had this happen at times with system apks. It's just that no matter what I do, I can't get them to work!

Other than this problem, the firmware is working great. No overheats and phone sleeps like a baby. I was just hoping to be able to use it like my E980 firmware. Now, it's looking like I'll have to wait for LG to release the fix for E980.

If anyone knows how to get this to work, please let me know.

HELP PLEASE:

What's going on here?

Every single time I add anything that turns itself into a system app, that app disappears after a reboot!

For example: I installed Better Battery Stats and did the System Install. Everything worked after that and I put a shortcut onto my homescreen. After that, if I reboot, the icon disappears from the homescreen, and whenever I open BBS, all I get is "This is a companion app to BetterBatteryStats. It will be copied to /system and there to grant permissions that can only be granted to system apps. This app has no functionality at all."

I can then find BBS in the Play Store and it says "Update." If I update, the app works again until I reboot, then the process starts all over again.

Same thing goes if I try adding Slide Aside or anything else that goes into system.

It's like every time I reboot, the system cleans itself to its default state!!! I never had this happen on my E980's firmware. What's going on????? Can anyone help me to not have this happen? *really confused*
