hi i am making a new custom fw for my Arabian friends so i want to add an app to it
so is there any way to do it??
i thought at first that i just need to add the app file inside the Shpapp file but that wasn't right and didn't work
Any ideas would be useful
Thanks in advance
You just have to copy the apps folder to the SHPApp>Osp>Applications with the other applications. I was able to add Picsel Smart Offce and MyExplorer this way. And it worked like a charm. You can get the apps from sites where they upload apps for spoofing. I recommend: http://badawaveapps.blogspot.com/
Note: Sometimes the files that you download from such sites might already be spoofed. That is they have copied the contents of the apps into a container app and renamed the files accordingly. So the folder name will be different from what the actual folder name would be for that app. So if you want to still install these apps, you will have to edit the <ID></ID> part in the manifest.xml file in the Info folder of the app according to the folder name.
Hope it works for you.

You can add sygic/ndrive but not delete the native navigation app since Route66 is encrypted in the apps_compressed.bin file. Native apps which you can delete are: Daily Briefing, Twitter, Facebook, Samsung Apps, Samsung Apps Update and Social Hub Premium Instant Messenger,
Whatever changes you want to make in ShpApp file, do that and then recompile it and flash it with a firmware. Done
are you sure astrotom?
i tried it before and ended up with non working samsung apps and nothing added
i'll try and report
and yes my intentions is to add sygic and ndrive and i have the original files already

You will end up with a non working Samsung Apps only if you replace a particular firmwares's ShpApp with other firmwares's modified ShpApp.
very bad idea to get an app like sygic with all its maps inside the file
trix and Wave remaker couldn't do it
trix couldn't add a sound file from sygic
Wave remaker couldn't add a folder inside the file
maybe i'll use small apps like you said astrotom like My explorer and picsel smart office
manged to do it
i didn't believe myself when i saw sygic as original app in my customized firmware
thanks astrotom you advice was so helpful
sorry but ...if I can add a new app (free or not like sygic, myexplorer, picsel...) and having it regulary installed and functional in main menu without spoofing like preinstalled asphalt 5 then..if those new apps will receive an updated version and I do the update through samsung apps when I'm logged then those apps will appear in the purchase history as if I had bought them (like ashalt), is it possible?
Does samsungapps recognize the installation of the added app as it does for asphalt?
don't have paid apps in my country to comfirm this
the version of sugic that i put in the fw is the free promotion version so i don't think it will get updates
and no it didn't appear at the purchase history
you should try it your self or ask astrotom as he tried different apps
for me sygic is just enough as i added alot of maps and the Shpapp file reached 590 mb
well based on my experience with asphalt 5 you can update it but it does not appear in purchase history. hence if you accidently delete it you cant download it again
Unfortunately, you can't update apps. Samsung apps will still recognize those apps and if you have not updated to the latest samsung apps, you can even launch them from within samsung apps. But like asphalt 5, pre-installed apps are not allowed to update. Apps can be updated only if you have installed them from kies and if they belong to your country's app store.

mmm...I've pre-installed asphalt 5, never bought it, but I've updated it two times through Samsungapps application on wave (not using kies) and if you login before doing the update, asphalt will appear in your download history
(update is notified on the top of the downloaded/installed application list)
yes even i have updated asphalt through my phone

Have you tried changing app version to a lower number in Appinfo.sys and manifest.xml before flashing (in Info application folder)? If this works perhaps it's possible to load a firmware with only some configuration files for many apps (no need of full apps folder with lots of mb...), then:
-set microsd as installations target;
-run samsungapps application on wave, login and download all the 'update' (actually you'll download the entire apps );
-if this works, you'll have all your favorite apps in your purchase history, working normally on your wave and with any firmware...

did anyone try this??
i don't have paid apps in our samsung apps market until now so i can't test this
hi this is so intersing job
how can i edit shpapp infact how can i add app to shpapp ?
hi every one again
wanted to report bad news back
you can add just two apps
if you added more than two apps you will get unexpected behavior like disappearance of the native apps like samsung apps,facebook,twitter,mini diary......etc
or ending up with broken samsung apps and nothing added
hope we find a way through this

With so many GB roms coming out lately I often can't wait for xxx custom rom developer to update to xxx rom. For the last month or so I've basically been using customised stock roms. (My own AOSP theme, choose a kernel, change a few apks).
One of the first things I do after flashing a new rom + kernel is cut down on some of the bloat in /system/. I more or less remove everything that can be downloaded (for free) from the market. When they're downloaded from the market they often go into /data/, leaving more breathing room in /system/.
As always, backup and be confident with restoring your phone via download mode or CWM.

What this does:
This is a little bit of PHP that will generate a customised CWM update.zip which will remove specific apks (and associated .odexes).
Usage:
* Choose which APKs you want the update.zip to remove and hit the Generate button.
- You can also select a preset to save some clicking.
* Copy the generated .zip file to your phone.
* Apply it with CWM.
Thanks:
The list of APKs was grabbed from the public google docs spreadsheet.
The SGS2 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet
The SGS3 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet. XDA thread
Notes:
* The APK list shouldn't let you remove anything 'vital' to booting the phone.
* I've tested it myself pretty extensively and used it for the last couple of stock roms released. However, there may be bugs. Let me know and I'll attempt to get them fixed!
* If you have any particular ideas for good presets, also let me know and I'll see to adding them.
* You can remove TouchWiz (TouchWiz30Launcher.apk) with this. However, if you do that without having another home 'app' installed, bad things may (will) happen.
Presets:
- Google
Removes the following:
- Gmail.apk
- GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
- Maps.apk
- Street.apk
- VoiceSearch.apk
- YouTube.apk
- Sargorn Special
Removes the following:
- Everything from the Google preset
- Aldiko
- BuddiesNow
- The flip fonts, Choco, Cool, Rose
- Days
- Dlna
- DualClock
- InfoAlarm
- Flash
- Layar
- MiniDairy
- MyFiles
- Protips
- SamsungWidgets (CalendarClock, FeedAndUpdate, StockClock)
- SnsAccount
- SnsProvider
- Unified Inbox
- Write and Go
Nice, a kitchen for removal rather than gain of apps
reserved for future use!
Simple, but very useful!
Thumbs up!
this looks very promising.
one of the things i hate about upgrading is removing all the bloatware ....will try it out my next flash thanks
what a great idea
Wow, definitely going to try this. Thanks!
EDIT: after generating a .zip and looking at the generated script, it deletes .apk and .odex files. Will this throw an error if used on a deodexed rom? Maybe an option to select whether the rom is odexed/deodexed would be a good idea? Just a thought.
It doesn't throw an error. Just double checked.
I will try. I was looking for such a pc software because im tired of removin app
myself again and again after flashing new roms. Thanks.
can i still choose apps which i don't have so incase in the future, i don't need to create another one.. what i'm generating is my master uninstaller.
very nice utility.
this a very useful +1
Very nice idea. Exactly what I was looking for. Will give it a try right away/
Great!
Suggestion: you could add a text input field (possibly user could press a button to get more text input fields) so that users can remove some other (not pre-defined) APKs.
Don't know if it's of any use though..

That should work without any problems. The update-script won't complain if the files deleted are not there to start with.

I can see it being useful if you have a specific apk that usually is installed with your CSC. I'll look into it when I have a chance.
If I understood well, it works on odexed roms?

That's right, the update-script removes both the .apk files and the .odex files.
So as long as you have CWM it will work on odex or deodexed.
Ok, so domo arigato, as they say
Worked pretty good when I went from JVP to JVQ just a minute ago
Great!
After downloading the zip file, can the updater-script be manually edited and and readded to the zip?
***UPDATE 09/03/2012
Just uploaded the revised tweak build... moved apps that needed to be moved to /data/apps to work properly( thanks pio!), everything should work fine now.. I also added lmt launcher so you wouldn't have to download it seperate! enjoy! http://d-h.st/qaN
I'm compiling another stock cm9 nightly now... should be done in a little while will post link after I get it uploaded!
/*-CM9 Nightly's-*\

/-*CM9 Tweaked*-\ ( see below for what alls baked in )
09/01 Nightly based tweak build 1 http://d-h.st/p0U
09/01 Nightly based tweak build 2 http://d-h.st/qaN **Newest***
***09/01/2012
Here's a link to an unofficial cm9 nightly I just built... I don't have enough post to start a thread in dev so I had to put it here ... and I don't know if I'm supposed to link to drop box but that's where I uploaded it sorry... just figured someone might want it... nothing special just stock cm9 built a couple hours ago (0901) ... of course u need to flash gapps after the zip... ha I don't have enough post to even post a link lol I guess p.m. me and I'll send it to ya if u want ... http://db.tt/rkAFX5tv
Update! Here's another drop box link to the cm9 zip I flash its from the source build yesterday with Linuxsociety's sweet kernel, hide bar , custom build.prop, edited gpio.kl to disable the hardware home key( I'm always hitting it on accident), nexus boot animation with the droids on motorcycles lol, 042* gapps, nesoid, and n64oid all baked in!!!!... http://db.tt/ult9hnVO its 178~ mbs.. I didn't make any of the mods besides the custom build.prop, not a big feat lol I just put all these together into a single flash because its easier for me to flash one zip....
Here's what's baked in....
--Hide bar (demo) (displays a little link on bottom of screen to buy full version in market... u can click it and it dissapears) *** note when hiding the navigation bar your wallpaper will dissapear...its a bug in the app for ics/jb version... only work around atm is to use a live wallpaper.. not a big deal... also I recommended installing lmt launcher for navigation buttons while in full scale mode... touching the bottom of the screen brings the navigation bar back...
--linuxsocietys godmachine 1.6 OC kernel (very nice kernel with lots of governers and schedulers... like u didn't already know)
--custom build.prop w/ various tweaks
--nexus bootanimatiom( the ones with the droids on bikes like tron.. full screen for the a100
--edited gpio.kl key layout to completely disable hardware home key.. although it will still light up.. I always hit it while playing games on accident so I like it better disabled)
--gapps 042* cm9 ics baked in... no need to flash gapps...
--nesoid and n64oid baked in to play your favorite old school roms( and no I don't know where to find game roms... Google it)
..... Enjoy
Nice, good to see someone picking up on CM9 again!
I would suggest signing up at dev-host, goo.im, etc. Drop box will get bandwidth locked pretty quick.
Keep it up!
thanks

Thanks I dk how often I'll do a build I wasn't planning on doing this one but for some reason HDMI audio doesn't work on any of the cm10 builds I have tried so I went back to relix-flex rom but wanted CyanogenMod so figured why not build from source... I forgot how long it took to repo sync and build( the last time I compiled a rom was for my evo over a year ago ..) sucks not having my desktop ... its about all my intel i3 laptop could handle lol... I got some other things in the works for the a100 so I'll end up having to sign up with dev-host or goo or something... but for now I thought I would share that ... I got about eight more post before I can post a link lol so anyone feel free to copy the link above and repost it so it works... it needs a couple //'s and a space taken it! That's how I had to put it sorry lol
update!! tweaked cm9 with goodies
I updated the OP with another link to a cm9 with some things I tweaked.. if u can't coble the link together pm me and I'll send u the link...
...almost forgot...
The sdcard swap is also baked into the tweaked cm9... ull have to set the correct permissions with root explorer and reboot for it to take effect...

If its in init.d its gonna cause problems. If its in /system/etc then it needs something to run it like script manager.
Unless of course you called it with a script run from init in the ramdisk, or found some other method I haven't thought of (extremely likely lol)

Yea lol I simply placed it in /system/etc as install-recovery.sh w/ the correct permissions though once flashed the permissions changed back to rw-r--r-- .. I'm uploading some zips to dev-host right not from the tab so I haven't had a chance to change permissions back to executable and reboot to see if that works.. though I don't think it will ... but yea worse case scenario it'll still have to be ran with script manager.. I wasn't thinking about the install-recovery.sh not working because I was on the flexreaper rom where it works as intended without a script manager!!
... nesoid and n64oid fc's
Seems like nesoid and n64oid don't like being installed as system apps .... reinstall the apks and everything's fine.... I'll post the links to the apks along with a link to lmt launcher as soon as I get everything uploaded ... lmt is a nice launcher that enables the quick control type thing like in the stock browser under labs except its system wide which goes nice when hiding the navigation bar and having your tablet in full screen mode
apk links...
If nesoid or n64oid is force closing when trying to load a rom simply reinstall the apks found here... nesoid: http://d-h.st/a61 n64oid: http://d-h.st/jb6 Lmt launcher: http://d-h.st/gVU

If you add a /data/app directory to the zip with those apks and then add a line to updater script it should then work properly. Just copy the system extract line and change it to match the /data information. I can bust that line out for you if you need it.
Or you can look at the aoikaze zip setup and updater script to see what I mean. I prefer this method as its easier to remove apps that aren't wanted (not everyone wants emulators for example) as they can just uninstall normally vs having to go delete it from /system/app.

Thanks a lot that was my intentions lol but couldn't remember how to do it .and to impatient to Google it lol. that's why I left lmt launcher out from the beginning as it won't run installed as a system app or at least it won't for me but it should be included ... and yea the emulators need the option to be uninstalled haha... I will take a look at ur aoikaze and see what u mean n try to have an updated zip with those apps installed as normal tomorrow.. thanks a lot ur help is very well appreciated
Okay! So this should be my tenth post lol so I can post links now! I moved hide bar, nesoid, and n64oid to /data/apps and added lmt launcher and they are all working fine now I will post updated link when I get home also i should have another stock cm9 nightly for you all too...
You should probably remove gapps. Cm leaves them out on purpose, it sucks but its safer for cm xda and yourself to leave them as a separate flash. I think Google asked them to not include them so cm's wishes it to be left out of their ROMs.
This may have changed but I just go by what I was told about it.

hi all
i ported X-STRONGER 6.0 to our device
after the port i had 2 problems
1-i cant connect my phone to pc
2-camera is not working
after some works i solved the problem with the usb
but i need help with fixing the camera
Have you tried replacing the gallery2/4 app?
ok i have tested everything in the rom and there are 3 unfixed problems in it now
1-in lockscreen has a little problem(the camera button is a little down)
2-themes are not working(i dont know but they are not working on some other roms for me. maybe its my problem)
3-camera not working
i really need your helps and suggestion
im sure everyone will like this rom because its very fast. i had stable 250-80mg free ram with lupus 480p and 230+ free ram with lupus 720p(and it has many futures)
im doing all i can for this rom
gallery?
i will try it now
there were no gallery.apk or gallery2.apk but there was semcgallery3d.apk on both base and port
i replaced it but nothing happened
i fixed the problem of lockscreen
it was a problem with the main rom
he changed the lockscreen app to make a new style but it made that problem
so i changed it with aeonworld lockscreen app and its working correct now
im working on theme manager bug now for 90% i will solve it soon
update:the problem of themes are solved now. so only 1 more bug. the camera
i have a Little problem
there is and app in this rom named 3d album in this rom
but i cant find it in system/app
hoow can i remove that?
You can use catlog app to find source of errors with the camera. I'm assuming that you have checked the permission files in your base Rom to match the ones from the port.
well maybe the problem is with the permission
what i have to do exactly?
Check in system/etc/permission
Look for any that you might have missed...
Also check in system/lib/hw
Make sure you have a file in there
camera.semc.so
there is no camera.semc.so in both port and base
and no missed permission
i found that there is a folder in system/usr named semc in the rom im going to port but we dont have that on stock rom(and there is a folder named camera in that folder and there are some .dat files in it)
Try using those for the camera.
Some apps r hidden in /system/customization/applications I think, most OEM's put some apps here... Also if running windows do a simple index search for "camera" in most folders or system folder to find it
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
i dont why but in windows 8 that thing is not working
and i used that files but they didnt help too
Did you try to install/replace camera.apk from another (stock gb) play rom?
im trying it now
i tough i have have done that before but i 90% i haven't now
sorry for my bad english
wow it worked
tnx to everyone that helped me here(i will give a credit every one on this thread)
the only things that i need to change is that to delete that apps then the rom is ready
im doing the final tests and i will release it as soon as possible
Hi. I have installed stock EPD4 following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/general/rom-upgrade-guide-extras-t3410132
I used the debloater script. I read the whole list of apps removed but I missed the browser. I tried installing Samsung Internet from APK Mirror but it doesn't work. Please, can someone give me the app and its relative files? I like tablet mode of Samsung internet, and now I'm sad because it's gone.
I don't want to reinstall the whole rom.
At least, can you tell me which files I have to extract from the rom? I should add them by myself.

I don't know if you are still looking for this, but this is the APK from my Note 2014 on lollipop for the Samsung browser.
