All those 3 are automatically missing after i installed Titanium Backup. Weird.

they are gather in 1 apk : "SNS.apk"
see here for some details about P970 apk

Is that a list of apps that are safe to uninstall?

[Q] I've no Social Life

I'm have problems with the social life app. It used to work fine but when I updated to FW to a Euro generic when ever I try to start the app it asks me to pick my language/country and gives me the T&C's , I accept but then I am sent to the Play store to download Sony Account Manager which it says isn't compatible with my device.
Any ideas how to fix this ?

LOL can't stop laughing at your title.
Anyway, wipe the data settings / apps / social life / clear data. Do a reboot.
If that doesn't work uninstall social life, titanium backup may be needed to remove it.
Then go play store and download it again.

Thanks for the reply, I have tried this several times. Everytime I try to sign up I pick Sony Entertainment Network and it takes me to the Play Store to download Account Manager. I don't use/have a Facebook account. I am trying to think have I removed something from System/Apps that I shouldn't have done.

To my extent of knowledge, it may actually have something to do with that "Account Manager." I remember seeing that on my phone as well but I deleted also, since I do not use SEN.
your best way is to start fresh again if you dont know what you've deleted that may have caused this issue.
1-Back up all your internal files (whatsapp, data counter, messages, etc...) and sync whatever (calenders. task, notes etc...)
2-Repair it through Sony PCC or Sony Update Service, or Flash another FTF file and wipe everything.
3-Download all your apps again and restore them one by one.

Flash German .253 ftf. I had same problem, but the German firmware had this preloaded.

[Q] Can't reboot after xposed framework installation!

Hello dudes, I currently use the MIUI V4 ICS 3.22 rom on my galaxy mini. Yesterday I have installed an app called greenify. I wanted to use the hole features of the app so I have installed the Xposed Framework. But after the restart my device is stopping rebooting at the bootanimation. With the deactivation zip on my sd card I could uninstall the framework. How can I bring the framework to work?
Thanks in advance!

Xposed is not compatible with any MIUI ROM and it will never ever be. At least not fully.

Your phone boots on recovery?

If you have made nanroid backup wipe factory data / partition then format /system /data / cache and restore your backup or flash any rom.

Dude!
Should have read the installation instructions beforehand
The Xposed framework is not compatible with miui
Now the only way out, according to me, is by restoring the file system through a nandroid backup.
I'm sorry but no one can help you in any other way.
Not being rude but dude read the whole post before installing anything in your phone.
Other than that I should however tell you that greenery without xposed also works great. Believe me I have used it and still use it.

before you re-flash the whole rom, check if there's an uninstall recovery zip (it should be on your sd)
@TARUN SIDHARTH is "greenery" a different app or you simply use greenify without xposed?!? is it possible to greenify system apps (with a donate version of course)?

Greenery is a standalone app which works great and does exactly what it offers. The xposed framework just empowers it a bit more and makes it a bit more efficient. But even then Its not necessary that you have to install xposed framework for it to work its magic.
And yes to answer your other question you can greenify system apps with it although that's only available in the donate version.
He sure however that you are careful doing that since greenifying the wrong stood can make your system unstable or cause other problems that may interfere in is optimum functioning.

amazing! think i tried almost every possible auto-start blocking app (autostarts, auto-this-and-that, various managers) and none have had a lot of success with the stuff i wish to block (possibly without total disabling and/or freezing (with TiB)
my google magic failed and all i could find was gardening and themeing apps
can you please provide us with the link or pm me some other details

Details details... Lemme see what more there is to know
Oh yeah umm.. Most of the startup managers for Android are full of crap... The play store ones atleast coz the Google developers policy doesn't allow such apps which actually work really well in this context... Still don't know how they decide that though. Well whatever if you had xposed then it could have been possible. But even then install gsam battery monitor and note the apps which consume the most system resources. Greenify them if you wish to and then they'll open/consume system resources only when they are active ie you are using them in real time.
That's all I guess

[Q] Predictive Dialer not working

Hi everybody,
This is my 1st thread. After try to find a solution from this forum, I decide to post my question here. Currently using Xperia V 4.3 .210 custom ROM from Steve Boss. My predictive dialer not working for a 2nd time after flash this ROM. At 1st, I believe I made a mistake to uninstall a few apk files in system app folder. I can't remember what apk file did I delete. Then, I decide to re-flash my ROM and the predictive dialer working again. I start uninstalling unwanted apps again but this time I'm doing it very carefully. Every apps deleted, I'll check this feature whether it affected or not. After finish uninstalling all unwanted app from my phone, I test again if predictive dialer stop working or not. Everything is okay.
But after a few days later, today I notice this feature not working again. Hopefully somebody can assist me how to make it working again without flash a ROM. Thank you.

1. Re-install sonyericsson.android.smartsearch.apk or Smartsearch.apk from a back-up.
or
2. Use EXDialer from the Play Store. It doesn't need Smart Search (at least not until 4.2, I can't say for 4.3 but I don't know why it wouldn't be the same).

Thank you so much bro. Yes I uninstalled the smartsearch apk without knowing it also relate to contact search. I always thought it is only for google internet searching. Just now, I opt to try Exdialer. After a few second, I can notice this app much faster than stock app. Stock app will take maybe 1 second to open. Thank so much for your help.

Failed to launch gallery activity!

I flashed to Non prime, rooted, unlocked bootloader and debloted MediaTek apps.
Now after taking a picture and touching the gallery picture I get the "Failed to launch gallery activity!" message.
How can I get the gallery back or substitute for another?

Yeah i considered running those, but since i had already rooted, i figured it was safer to use system app remover for root, since it backs up the deleted apps, i got rid of the file manager but actually prefer the default gallery over google photos, lol I like to keep it simple...

Same problem for me...I installed focal beta from people laystore and can use its gallery. May have to use 3rd party app for now

The mediatek debloat removes the file explorer and the gallery (and only these 2 for now), if you do not install a replacement you will indeed get this error. Any gallery app will do, I personally use google Photos which sync the pictures to the cloud, but there are many other free and paid options.
Else, just use your nandroid backup to restore /system to get the original gallery back.

Just curious, were you ever able to restore the default gallery or an alternate solution?

No even after pushing the MyosGallery.apk file to system I have not been able to get the Gallery to work. All I get is the "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" error message when trying to open it and at startup.
So my alternate solution is to use the app called Open Camera which let me select Google Photos as my gallery app.

Hmm, the only thing I could think to possibly try is push app to system/priv-app then possibly run the same apk like you were installing the app, see if it asks if you want to update system app, if it asks then then we know its there as a system app. If so go ahead say yes to update, see if that does the trick...

I tried this also to restore the gallery app, but won't launch. The apk appears to be missing the classes.dex file that was most likely stripped on original installation? But there should be an "oat" folder with the gallery.apk that has the .odex file inside. If someone could zip this folder and post it, i would like to see if this fixes the launch problem. Thanks.

I have this phone as a spare that my wife and kids can abuse so I havet played much with it,
but after removing the gallery app and trying to get google photos to work, sure the photos show up in google photos, but how do you get it to link to the camera so the error don't happen and goes straight to photos?
for me I don't like broken features or errors popping up so I just reflashed the stock rom to get the gallery working again.
