Hi, Im currently using Bobaridier v1.3 but when i changed from 1.2 to 1.3 the developer removed the original email app along with googles and also removed the Microbes live wallpaper which i love.
I would like to know if there is a way for me to extract those apps from the old 1.2V. I tried restoring the Microbes wallpaper with TB but it failed. I also tries installing a dump from the nexus and it gives me a parsing package error.
Like i said id like the original email app from samsung since i hate the AOSP looks and interface.. Thanks
I think i will be going back to v1.2 and then trying to see if i can do a backup of the email app and restore it in v1.3 if not is there any good apps for email that have a similarity to the stock app? I hate the grey color in this AOSP.
I used to get the errors installing MicrobesLWP. easiest way to get it installed is just push to the apps folder.
Actually pushing everything to the right apps folder always worked for me.
Edit;

http://db.tt/cTF3DoJP (Microbesgl.apk)
Move those with root explorer or somesuch to /system/app should work

THANK YOU!!! yes worked perfectly, did just like you told me copied files straight to app folder and walaaa got the microbes wallpaper back and email app.
For those that don't want to fully update to 4.2 but want some of the benefits... check out this thread:

Note-- I didn't flash this zip, I extracted the contents and installed the ones that I wanted
The only thing that isn't working correctly for me is the photosphere
If I were to extract the updates that I want, would that be done on the tablet or do I hook up to my PC? I'm not sure how to do this. Do i just flash them once they are extracted or are they apk files and i just load them? Can you point me in the right direction please? Thank you.

Actually I'm finding it is just easier to flash the zip. It works fine provided you have busybox installed. If there are apps you don't want to install, just delete the apk from the zip (yes they are apk files)
the reason I suggest this is because some of the apks have lib (.so) files associated with them (the gallery, for example, dosent work correctly without its libs)
Extra note the updater script in the zip will remove gallery, stock keyboard and deskclock.apk
I flashed the zip and now every time I try and go into settings of the clock or set a timer, I get a FC.

Which one did you install? Works perfectly for me
I used the one with the 'photosphere fix' (which still errors. Says something about no rear camera)

What are the permissions to be set at? I pushed this and the stock file manager to system apps, fixed permissions via recovery, but neither work. When I use Root Explorer to check the apks they show different permissions from all the other system apps. MusicPlayer and SecNoteMyFiles show rwxrwxr-x while the other apks show rw-r-r-- I guess I need to manually change them?
EDIT - Actually what happens is they don't show in the app drawer, so I tried to install them from the system app folder, but I keep getting an error "Application not installed".

make the apk match the other apks in system (rw-r-r)
then reboot the device.

No go for me. They just don't want to work. I don't know why. I was on the stock ROM via ODIN. Everything worked. I pulled five apks from the system app folder. Three of them work, but the MusicPlayer and FileManager don't. I tried them both ways. I left the permissions as is, rebooted, and nothing. I did what you said, and still nothing. Got me. I'm running Jedi Mind Trick JB 3.

Yes. I tried it several times. It just won't show in my apps I guess. Do I set perms before or after pushing to sys/app?

First I want to thank you, and say sorry for making you help me so much, as I'm now realizing it would have worked if I just used your version from the beginning. I've been trying to get the one I pulled from my stock ROM when I was running it. It seems my APK is not the right one. Yours worked the very first time. It's also bigger than mine by about a MB. Where did you pull it from? I pulled mine directly from the system/app folder.
Also since mine didn't work for this, or my File Manager APK, would it be possible for you to share that too? Or tell me where to get it? Thanks again.
Follow the white rabbit....

Hi guys, i am new to xda. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S II with stock jelly bean 4.1.2 (***LSW firmware version). I accidentally deleted my settings application (i converted it to user app by using rom toolbox and it disappeared). I have no backups so i was looking for someone who could extract a new "Settings.apk" compatible with my device and firmware version so that i could reinstall it. Thanks in advance to everyone!

Isn't there a way to just install the settings.apk without having to reflash the whole rom?

have you look into your root folder then data/app to find setting.apk, or use titanium backup to convert back to system app
Yes, as i said in the first post i have no backup and the system/app folder doesn't contain any settings.apk. It disappeared completely. I also looked for it on the web but no one seems to have uploaded it online. This is the reason why I have posted here.
Please can anybody help me? I can't believe no one has got this phone here on xda..

If nobody can help you. Try it yourself. Download the firmware and find a way to extract the files. (can be done, cuz the phone can too)
Hi, I have linked the SecSettings.apk from stock 4.1.2 xxlsw.

Thank you very much! But i'm not missing "SecSettings.apk" i miss "Settings.apk". Don't you have one in your root folder?
There is no Settings.apk in any folders. Is your ROM definitely Stock Samsung 4.1.2?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I looked for SecSettings in my folder and i think i confused it with SecSettingsprovider..so maybe the settings app is just called secsettings (unlike many other phones) i'll try to install your apk!
I downloaded your application and it seems to be what I was looking for! But I can't install it in way! How do I install it?
Use a root explorer and copy it to /System/app and set permissions in the usual manner
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I moved the apk to system/app and set the permissions, then rebooted, but it seems that it doesn't work. I tried in many ways. I installed it from rom toolbox, from root explorer, from "system app installer", but despite every operation and installation gives me a succes message as response, nothing happens. There is the file in system app, but every attempt to open the settings fails with a force close and there is no icon in my app drawer.
Do you have the secsettings.odex in your /system/app?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No I don't have any SecSettings.odex, I only have apk, even after the reboot.
Copy both the SecSettings.apk from the previous link and the SecSettings.odex from this link, set permissions and reboot again.

It didn't work. I used every combination on this world for the permissions before rebooting (including rw-r--r-- and also rwxrwxrwx) but nothing happens, the app doesn't result to be installed. (I attached a screenshot of my file manager showing that the files actually are in the root folder)
Hmm.. I'm stumped then. I can only suggest you reflash your firmware
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I just read on google news that a new update is starting to roll out for the s2..do you think updating will solve the problem? Either by using OTA (if it still works without settings) or kies..
I like Samsung Email app but I hate the all whites in it so I managed to track them down almost 100% for the screens I could access.
As you may know app already has built-in black theme that is suppose to activate by simple change in csc features.xml but it is disabled by Samsung. There is a hard coded boolean "IsBlackTheme=false" in smali so I changed it to "true" and activated the black theme... But no wonder why they left it "false" - the theme was I say 50/50 complete and the composer didn't work at all so app was useless. Few days code reading and figured it out... the spen layout was crashing the composer. Fixed it, completed the rest of the theme and here it is.
It 's a vrtheme (thanks goes to those guys), flash it in recovery. Make sure no other themes alters SecEmail.apk after that... or simply reflash it.
And some screenshots... Enjoy...
EDIT: OK... sorry guys, it's back...
I was trying to avoid wiping the entire dalvik, but the patching happens so fast that there was no time to delete the dex. So now it just wipes dalvik completely and it works.
That's what you get when rushing things... Please, redownload...
EDIT2: New upload... Please download again... foreverloco fixed the 9.png images for me... Thanks man!:good:
Real nice! Thanks!

BTW theme updated for more color consistency(removed some light elements; some text, yellow folders and stars to JB blue). Also now only the email dalvik is wiped so boot after apply is much faster.

I don't know, but you can try. Flashing makes backup of your original email app on /sdcard that you can flash back if theme doesn't work.
But don't blame me if something goes wrong. Make nandroid first.
Didn't work.. I tried flashing with original? Flashing after deleting original.. nada. . I would love this.. anyone help? Thanks

Pull your email app from /system/app, open it and open the theme_zip both with 7zip side by side, drag-n-drop all files from theme_zip\vrtheme\system\app\SecEmail_J.apk\ to your eamil app(Yes to popup), close 7Zip. Now your app is themed, push it back to /system/app and change permissions to 644. Done.
That's what flashing do exactly, same thing and you have your original email app backed up on sdcard.

Glad you asked... don't do it... theme is for 4.3 ROM, it most likely wont work with your 4.4.2 email app and you will have to redo all settings/accounts.
But if you wanna try it anyway make backup of your original email app and do what I said in my previews response to you. Drag and drop everything in that directory to your apk with 7zip and all modded files will be replaced and you will have your apk themed. Then push it back and delete /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected], restart phone. If done in recovery you might get away with loosing settings/accounts etc.

Man when I saw this thread and the screenshots I got all kinds of excited!!! I've been looking for this everywhere. Not sure why the stock email app is probably the least inverted app on the phone but the one I use the most. I as well though am on sprint and now NC5 firmware so not counting on this working but what a work of art! Would love to have this option on the sprint note 3. Very nice work though!!!
