Install Galaxy S apk's

Has anyone tried to install any of the apk's from the European Galaxy S phone? I am too afraid to try installing any of the ones that replace system programs. I was able to install the Samsung Apps program but it doesn't offer anything for the Epic.

Other Galaxy S apps
I checked out the files from that and there were quite a few apks from the other samsung galaxy s phone. I pulled out a few i thought would be interesting but could not install or push to my phone. Does anyone know how this can be done?

You have to mount /system as read/write first
That link should help

I really appreciate the guidance given, as this is a lil differ3ent than the Evo. Now, when I type Su I am asked for a password...? Anyone know what this is about? I updated the Su and busybox from the market, so binaries are updated.
If anyone knows, plz let me know.. oh and after having a Evo I am proud to own the epic. It is a awesome and amazing device. I can't wait till the tab arrives.

ok so this is the stock android boot image where ANDROID in android font flashes across the screen. there is no lag and looks very nice. follow the steps bellow to install.
WARNING - ANYTHING THAT MODIFIES THE FILES ON YOUR PHONE MAY DAMAGE IT. ONLY FOLLOW THE STEPD BELLOW IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
To be able to do this you will need root explorer.
you can buy this off the android market or find it online
1 - install root explorer onto your phone trough some sort of file manager
2 - download the bootanimation.zip file from the link below
3 - place it in the root of your sd card ( if on the xda app it will be in your downloads folder)
4 - open root explorer and switch to be able to write
5 - copy the boot.img file from your sd card to system/media and delete the boot image or animation already there( if that doesnt work try data/local )
6 - reboot your phone to make sure the boot animation is working properly

are you posting a link to download a paid app for free?

I didn't know it could boot from a .img file. I thought only zips would work.
I might have to give this a try just to see.

Unfortunately I have to disagree. This is the stock built in bootanimation. You don't need any special files to envoke it.
If you simply remove the /system/media/bootanimation.zip you get the same results.
Don't take it the wrong way, perhaps you were just miss informed.

[REQ] stock theme framework/juggernaut 5.0

Is it possible for somebody to create a completely stock framework (status bar, pulldown, etc) for juggernaut 5.0? I always thought the green battery really stood out when everything else was at an understated grey color. i wish i knew how to do this myself
but i turn to the experts on here for some love. hopefully i am not the only one who wants this and there is an actual demand for this type of theme
if anybody takes on this task, i thank them greatly

All you gotta do is search for empty zip file to flash theme. Then take out framework, twframework and systemUI from original Jug. Make folder called framework put both framework in there. another folder called app and put systemui. Then without extracting the zip file/use 7zip to put both this folder in it and then flash that zip. That's all!

Oh... When I meant stock, I meant stock out of the box..not stock juggernaut. Sorry for the misunderstanding. And by any chance, do you know where I can get a totally stock Tmobile sgs2 ROM? The roms I have seen on here are on multiupload.com and that site seems to be down

If you have Root explorer or something similar, you could probably copy and late the appropriate files in the correct spots and then reboot. Then you wouldn't need to sign or flash.

i thought that would have worked before too... but as soon as i pasted the new framework apk, everything force closes and i had to load up a prior backup

Are these the exact same zips you are trying to flash? if so they are not set up right for CWM to be able to apply them. Here is a CMW flash for you. Open it with 7 zip or an appropriate progam, i recomend 7zip its great. You will see the app folder and the framework folder. Place your modfied app.apks in the app folder and any modified framwork.res files in the framework folder. Dont try to mess with too much at first just framework.res twframework.res and systemui.apk make sure when you transfer images you are taking them from stock and adding them to Juggs files or you will get a force close. dont just try and take stock .res files or .apks and flash them.

hahahahahaha.... i wish i saw this sooner. i actually went ahead and pushed the stock images over the modified images i wanted into the systemui.apk within the juggernaut zip file and then reflashed it. that would have saved me loads of time configuring everything all over again. but thanks though... if this doesn't help me now, it should help me later. and it probably helps other people looking to do their own thing as well.

Oh geez, that sucks. I've never had that happen before. You could just download one from the Play Store. I use Color Note. Unless you are looking for a specific UI
Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda premium

Did you just click install as an apk?
it is a system app so you need to use a root browser app and move the memo.apk file to the root/system/app folder and give it the correct permissions.

Any luck with this app? I tried to install it as well with no luck. I also went into Recovery and it's not there. Is there another version or way go get this done?
I only need to install the app, so I can put some of the memo's that I created back on, so I can get the information I need...

i use this on jedi knight. Might work for you.
just use a root explorer & place in root/system/app, &reboot.

Bootanimation- Android Andy pees on Apple- My favorite

Here is a resized version of the android pee on Apple bootanimation that I found on the Rom toolbox but for some reason wouldn't display on my note 2 even if I resized within the application.To me it's much better lookin than the fat tinkle peeling droid that I found here and its resized correctly. Credit goes to the original animation author which I have no clue whom that may be.
Here's the sample I uploaded to YouTube for you guys
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vphIEzGJuno&feature=youtube_gdata_player
are u rooted? if yes... then do these steps verbatim to change your boot animation on your note 2.
STEP 1: download THIS file and do NOT extract it or anything (use your computer or phone... its like 100mb so i reckon you best be on WiFey to be safer from a broken dload)
STEP 2:
if using your computer to download , plug ur phone in to mount usb and moved the file to your sd card or your internal memory [ EX:Computer\SPH-L900\Phone or Computer\SPH-L900\Card ] (OR use a program like Android Commander to make things a little easier and put the file directly into the /system/media directory of your phone.... hint:the 'system' folder is located in the PARENT FOLDER of your SDCARD directory .... aka your ROOT directory)
if downloaded using your phone browser.... just use any root file manager (eg:I use ROM Toolbox Pro's Root file Browser,but there are dozens of other app like root explorer, ES File Explorer File Manager, ASTRO file Manager i think works too if u have the pro version but dont hold me to it) and use the Move to or the Copy To feature within any of those apps to move the file manually to your /system/media/ directory. You can just overwrite the one that is already there or just add a .bak or .EAD or .GTH to the end of the file name of the file you wanna backup thats already there BEFORE moving the new Android Peeing animation you downloaded in the first step.
IMPORTANT- DO NOT RENAME OR EXTRACT THE ZIP FILE YOU DOWNLOADED IN STEP 1... the file MUST BE NAMED bootanimation.zip
STEP 3- Using your root file managing joint appy proggy thingys Permissions editor (normally u just long click the file you wanna set permissions for and the edit permissions option will pop up somewhere) set the pemissions (or verify them) to this...
OWNER- READ WRITE
GROUP- READ
OTHERS- READ
or another way of saying this is RW-R--R--
Step 4 - SAVE or ACCEPT changes....
Step 5 - Reboot to make sure bootanimation is changed
Step 6 - Reboot again in a busy elevator or place where some iPhags can see over your shoulder.... and grin maliciously. :angel:
Step 7- :highfive: click the thanks button if u want or pm me if u have some bitcoins u managed to accumulate somehow and wanna donate em to me

BOSS!!!

Awesome

i noticed the file was already labeled "bootanimation.zip" so i copied it as it as renaming the original. the only thing about my phone is that im running MacksROM All Star 2.5 rather than stock but i dont think that would make any difference.

hmm.... try redownloading the file and replace the file u just tried with the one u just downloaded and then rename as necessary. i dont think ma7 changed the location of where it fetches the boot ani.... but im still running LjC. but running macks rom 5.0 which is basically the same rom as the allstar rom you are using minus without the Ma7 goodies. but anyway try what i mentioned real quick and see if maybe it was just a corrupt or incomplete download or transfer to your device if u used the computer. meantime ill see whats involved in making it a flashable zip or if my feeble mind cant wrap itself around how that works... maybe someone here will post a flashable version for ya. :fingers-crossed:
