[APP] VoiceToGo from SGS 2 - fully working

I've just managed to make VoiceToGo work perfectly. Copy the so files in /system/lib and the apk in /system/app. Very cool app!!
Do not flash with CWM. Just unzip and copy in the above locations.

cool but you can just download the vlingo app from the market which is the same thing and gets updated etc.

How is vlingo app from the market compare with S2 VoiceToGo?

Better looking, In cat mode is not beta and probably more efficient. The only disadvantage is that it cannot be updated...

[MOD][EDIT][SOLVED][APK]Modified stock Gallery apk without picasa sync.

Edit: APK Added below.
Hi. Im wondering if there is a modified gallery apk floating around. I really hate picasa, with a passion. Even if it isnt the 3D gallery, I dont care. When I remove the gallery and use a third party viewer app, we cant set lock screen wallpapers. Thanks!
SOLVED

Under Accounts and Sync|Google, uncheck the Sync Picasa Web Albums box and they wont show up in the Gallery.
My fav picture viewing app that I bring with me to every rom I run is QuickPic. Its super small and fast and does everything I want it to, including setting homescreen and lockscreen pics.
Check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hbGVuc3cuUGljRm9sZGVyIl0.
If you're referring to the fact that your email auto checks for new mail every 30 min. you can go into your email settings and set the frequency of checking email to "Never".

Remove the stock gallery and you can not set lock screen wallpapers, even with quikpic. Which Ive used on all of my devices. Looking to remove the picasa sync option altogether which you cant do unless you remove the 3d gallery, but then you cant set lock screen wallpapers. Hence the search for a modified stock gallery.
SOLVED

I've never seen my email app use any inordinate amount of battery life as a result of it running in the background nor have I ever read a post of how someones stock email client is draining batt life. Is that whats happening to you?
And to avoid the issue of setting wallpapers with other apps, just don't remove the stock gallery app and the 3rd party apps you use should set wallpapers just fine. If you don't like the stock app, don't use it. But to remove it altogether sounds like its leading to problems.
Not sure what you mean by remove Picasa sync option altogether. Just uncheck the box and its done, no more syncing, or are you referring to removing the menu enrty/option altogether under Accounts and Sync|Google.
If so I guess I'll go now. It sounds like you want dev help from someone willing to work on code for you. Thats waaay outta my league.

I modified the stock Gallery apk so that I wouldnt have the "Sync Picasa" option under the accounts in "Accounts & Sync".
I really do not like having that option in there, so I solved my problem.
I have attached the Gallery apk to share if anyone else is as picky as I am.
I simply moved it to /system/app, overwriting or deleting the original, then fixed the permissions. I kept the original odex file. Rebooted and all is well.
Extract the zip/rar file and use the apk inside.
I hope some of you find this useful.

You got me. I'm not a dev just a tinkerer. Be certain that it's named correctly, no spaces, perhaps at the beginning of the file name etc.. When you copy it to /system/app it should ask you if you want to overwrite the existing file. That'll tell you it's named correctly. Unless there is something else that you're missing, it should work, as it worked for me. I wish I could do it for you, man. I simply copied the apk from my sd external and pasted it into /system/app, fixed the permissions and rebooted. After the reboot, I confirmed the gallery worked then I cleared cache and dalvik just for the heck of it. Really sorry it's not working for you as easily as it did for me.

Lemme get some tea and bacon and then I'll upload the originals for you. You should try copying the original apk and odex to /system/app to get your gallery back. After that try copying the modified again. Apk only.

[Q] How to reinstall Sony apps on AOSP?

I have JJ Hybrid 3.1 installed with Sirkays kernel. Is there a way to reinstall some of the Sony apps like Weather Widget, Widget Select Widget, Alarm, Possibly even the home launcher? I tried copying the weather widget apk into system/apps with rw-r-r and rebooted but it still is not available in the ICS widgets menu.

Can anyone recommend a stock ROM without McAfee and Wisepilot (the two apps I am unable to uninstall). Tweaked to be smoother, faster and more stable would be nice also.
Really I would like only Home launcher, Panorama, Weather widget, Alarm, Widget select widget, Turn things on and off widget (or a better status bar with toggles like some ROMs). Everything else can pretty much go to the bin

Install Titanium Backup and remove them.

To use the Sony widgets, you need to have the Sony home launcher. Else, it won't work.
You can easily remove McAfee and WisePilot once you root your phone. Either browse to the app location as root and delete it (or) use Titanium Backup as XperienceD suggested.

I did (tried normal way and with Titanium) and it said they were uninstalled. Reboot the phone though and *POOF* they come back.

try root uninstaller and reboot they are gone for sure,
but why advice everyone titanium back up ?
in my eyes is it a sh*t app

Ah, then uninstall them again, and look for two apks named McAfee and WisePilot, remove them before rebooting and the will be gone.

Then you need to look for another two AFTER uninstalling. I've seen this before and I can guarantee they can be removed, you just need to find the two apks that auto install.

There must be a copy of those two apks somewhere else and that's causing this problem.

Copy .apk files from stock-based roms such as Arconium or MooDeD ICS. They are placed in "app" folder.

Which Apps are Safe to Remove with Titanium Backup?

Hello All,
I purchased a Tab 3 7.0 and after applying root and installing titanium back and am wondering which APKs are safe to remove. I've gotten rid of the music player, music hub, the samsung app store, and there video player.
I was hoping we could get a list together to see what other systems apps are safe to remove.
Thanks!

good idea

Good first removals.
One of the greatest advantages of Rooting is getting rid of all of the useless BS.

I use root explorer, go into system/apps and start marking the apk and odx of files I know I don't/won't use. I move them to my sd card in the "bloat" folder a few at a time and have not seen any issues. 340 MB and rising in there now.

bloatware that can be removed YMMV
I've now removed 520MB of junk

hey guys can i use this app called "system app remover" to uninstall those? and or maybe can i delete it directly on /data/app and data/data??

Thanks it works
@vlucchetti
First thanks for that link it was helpful:highfive:
I can confirm that almost everything on the list from the link can be safely removed, mind you not everything on the list was installed
I went from an average of over 25+ things being open in memory to 13+ after that cleansing. :victory:

To see whays running in vackgroung go to app manager in settings and swipe to go to running apps window
The ones running can be seen there
Also the cached apps the app processes tht h been stored in ram for faster multitasking can be found by clicking on cached apps on the top cornee
See the helium script in dev section it is a cwm flashable package to remove bloat
If u wanna find out yourself
Id suggest freezing apps then see if there r any problems then make a backup (if u r still unsure) and safely delete the app. So if u find the need u can just restore it

i comeback (like a dog) to lineage 14.1 official and yes, i got again 4g... so my guess is that i debloat something related to mobile data...
please hope you can help me find my error!
thanks in advance for your comments!

You shouldn't be removing stock apps, if you don't know what the result will be (whether it is safe to remove or not). This is a good example of why.
Safer to "freeze" apps with Titanium (or similar app) to test what the results will be, before removing outright.
You're removing a lot of things which I don't typically see removed. So the only way to tell is process of elimination.

"Freeze" is similar to "disable" app in the native Android settings. But the "disable" function is not always available. "Freeze" disables the app, without removing it. So you can simply "unfreeze" if you run into any issues with it frozen. Or on the other hand, if you test a "frozen" app for a while, with not negative side effect, you can probably go ahead an remove it.
