Help with developing - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

I know this should be in the development section but i am not allowed to post in it yet. My question is if i got the go launcher ex. Apk would i be able to just put it in my /system/apps folder and delete my current launcher and the phone would boot up with go launcher ex? Or would i actually have to write code for my phone to use it as the default launcher? (I'm not very good at writing code so I hope its not too complicated)

Yes you could, but you should push it in system/app with adb. But then you couldn't uninstall go launcher until you deleted it from system/app. Actually this should be in the question forum, not the development or general forums. If I helped you, thank me!

I do this all the time with adw ex, you dont even have to make the new launcher a system app.
Also, dont delete stock launcher. Rename it with root explorer to .bak file just incase you need it.

I recommend using Titanium Backup to backup and remove the stock launcher.

He's right, I don't know why you would make it a system app..... and this isn't really developing, as the title says

Oh well I've used go launcher ex before as an app and it makes my phone lag. I was thinking if i got rid of the system launcher, I'd be able to use go launcher without it lagging.

Go launcher laggs as a system app too, use LauncherPro.

my friend.go launcher ex is a good app from china.if you want to make it to be a system app.you need to extract the lib first.
1.extract all lib files from the app's /lib/armeabi/
2.move them to /system/lib/ and set their permission
3.move the app to /system/app and set permission
now everything is ok！

Sorry, what I ment is that you only replace the ginger launcher. The touchwiz launcher is named twlauncher in system/app

Is there a galaxy s3 rom for t989

Hi there i want to know if there is a rom that has the galaxy s3 features. If there is can anyone post a link for the rom. Thanks really appreciate it

None.
But you can extract launcher from leaked sg3 and push it to your sg2. Not sure if the launcher supports gb but I'm on ics and I love it so far.

Go here and download the file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1666388
Extract the files from system and lib folder and Unzip and push to system/lib and system/app and change the permission to rw-r-r (only for the apk not the lib file)
restart, now you should have the new launcher.
make sure to backup before you do anything this will save you time if something went wrong.

Thank you,
Now I unistalled my old calendar apk with titanium backup, and after pasting it to my system/app folder. the installation fails and says app not installed.
Do i need to do something else ?
You need to place it in systems/app folder then change permissions to rw-r-r
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
You need to delete the apk then reboot then install new apk.

Thank you for all the replys. I think its not working maybe because im on AOSP rom and that app is from stock based rom ? >__<;;
I rebooted and tried reinstalling it and wont work, also checked the file and it was set at rw--r--r.
blaH its ok i might have to learn to customize a calendar app cause that calendar is so sexy
You didn't say you were on aosp, you can't use a touchwiz app on aosp.

Get to system/app and find SecMms.apk and SecMms.odex and rename bouth to SecMms.apk.bak and SecMms.odex.bak then copy and paste app from my post, set permission to rw-r-r, restart phone and in messenger setting is option to enable emoji.
Good luck

Your best shot is using root explorer, find it on play store. Once you install it, navigate and follow the instructions from norbarb post

You can use the built in file manager or es file explorer to view the folders, but. I been searching everywhere for the apk mentioned on my system/app folder and on all directories on my phone and there's no secmms.apk or secmms.odex.

I've tried both you mentioned and I still don't see system/app. Is system one of the main folders, like in the same directory as android or music? Maybe it's my Rom preventing me from seeing it...

Here is free explorer. I think you guys have to get back to basic. System/app mean open system folder then app folder and you look for apps i talk in there.
I will read more before asking for something you have no idea how to push to system or install. READ THIS great guide and link to most thing you need for your phone.

Okay you're right I was actually on the internal sd card I went up a directory and found system/app. I also found the .apk you mentioned but not the similarly named .odex ....any idea why? All files in system/app are .apk

Could always just download Handcent and Emoji plug-in..
All the files in the system/app directory will be apk if you are on a deodexed(custom), rom. I just rename the existing file and copy the new one over.
