Customize system apps - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

I would like to combine different old and new apps in my Ics rom... for example I like the old 3D gallery... and I would like the SoundRecorder.apk for a rom I am trying right now that does not include any of them (hydrog3nics)... So I figured I'd copy the apk's (assuming I picked the right ones) from my previous rom (Foxhound) and placed them in the same folder (System/app) ...But it does not do the trick. ...It worked with Google Music player and Video... but not TwCalendar, 3DGallery and SoundRecorder (VoiceRecorder).
Any ideas?
Cheers

The apps need to be compatible. Just copying wont help.

Samsung Apps like Mini Diary, Memo...

It looks like these apps on other GSII devices aren't on our SGSIIE4GT? They seem like they maybe useful to me, is there a way to get them?

You could go to the GS2 development forums here on XDA, search for a stock rom, download it and extract the .apks.

If u do get it post it up for me

Here you go, memo may need to be pushed to system/app or you can do it with file explorer.
Mini diary force closes. Anyone else have it working?

It worked fine for me with stock rooted ROM and zedomax/kernel, however, here is a version with the corresponding odex file.

you will need to upload it elsewhere and then provide a link.
i assume this is to prevent people uploading masses of files to the xda servers

Only with copying this files I don't got a working launcher. When I install some of the other modded ARC-Launchers and copy your files (and install timescape - 2 of them works - 1 of them I got Install-Error) I've got FC every few seconds. Also a restart doesn't change anything.
Copying all the files across worked for me however when phone 1st starts i get a twitter fc and if i want to use the facebook timescape i get fc as well. Still playing around but looks good. Thanks

hey to mod of this thread. i have to point out some of things for you as to why you guys are gettin' fc'ses all the time.i use to be an x10 owner and i can tell you alot of things to it. 1. you're missing awhole lot of plugin's from sony's phone such as timescape twitter, timescape facebook, timescape messages and w/e other are there. as far as porting is concerned it won't be possible because those plugins and timescape is sony coded software, unless you wanna take a crack at it and look into those codes .good luck it won't be fun i can tell you that. you're gonna have to rewrite the whole thing to samsung's codes + arc launcher and all or x10 same issue.. why are you gettin' f'cs well here's one open up the script of apk launcher and take a crack at fixing the screen resolution + all the shortcuts that are with it to be rewritten into samsung's phone. so there's the whole explaination to this. if i can do anythin' ill try but can't gurentee it b/c im still trying to work through alot of things in apks and all, like editing and so ive not got to scripts yet.
I was a x10i owner too before it was stolen this is the reason why I love timescape i did not think this was necessary because it worked for me without this too but if you are facing problem then —
1. change in build.prop
ro.product.manufacturer=xxx
to
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson
and add
ro.semc.timescape_keys=Sony_Ericsson_Xperia
You will find above "build. Prop" in root directory-system
Use root explorer preferably

This works pretty well. Can't use the Facebook or Twitter plug ins though. Also tried to install the Arc launcher (which looks better IMHO) but it wouldn't install at all.
Look forward to further progress

[Q] ICS AOSP Files

Greetings!
I've heard mention of AOSP files for ICS being used to replace the TW ones. Can someone please direct me where to obtain these files and how to install them properly?
Thanks in advance!
I dont think its that simple, if anyone knows for a fact please do correct me. In any case what are you trying to accomplish?

I'm guessing you can just push the file, set the permissions and away you go.
Some might need certain files to work, but I believe the others are okay. For example, I've heard that pushing the MMS app doesn't work, but the ICS AOSP Gallery does work and actually looks better.
Download an aosp nexus galaxy rom and pull it from /system/app.
Try it and report back!

Not sure that it will work since TW is heavily cooked into the OS. I'm no dev so I could be very wrong there but if you wanna try it its up to you. All the system apps and so forth are gonna be in /system/app or /system/framework

The AOSP MMS app kinda works. I am able to send messages if I create a new thread but it FC right after I send. It will receive messages and they display in the notification bar but when opening them it will FC. Im going to play around with it and see what I can do.
AOSP gallery works.
AOSP camera works.
Tried both of the above yesterday but didn't like ICS enough. Back to CM7.
Someone try the dialer now.

i just pulled the gallery and camera apks from ravers AOSP ics rom...rebooted..the apks are in system/app but i dont have either as an app...
also the ics gallery was labeled "gallery2" and mine was "gallery3d"...i renamed it to gallery3d to match my old one
neither of them show up as an app...its as if i just deleted the camera and gallery apks (even though i replaced them)
When you replaced the apps did you change the permissions? That could be why they aren't showing

I have tried multiple apk for AOSP CM9 ROMs and many do not work, but a few do!!! Trial and error, also make a copy of the current apk or files you are trying to replace

I tried to take some apk from Eugene's cm7 build to avoid compatibility issues with my juggs rom, calculator worked with no problems...calendar sort of works, it FCs when you try to sync calendars. Dialer constantly FCs nonstop after trying to replace it...tried wiping caches and fixing permissions but no dice...and that was the one thing I wanted to work most of all....contacts didn't work either wouldn't open without FC.
I guess I'll just have to wait patiently for Eugene to develop cm7 more...I'm very excited he did a great job on the initial build and it looks like the next buld will fix a lot of bugs

I have a tutorial in the general section for how to push the gallery to work. The camera app will work the same but delete the normal camera app first.
I can confirm that the aosp dialer can not just be pushed. It will fc constantly.

[REQ] News and weather apk for SGS3

News and weather (aka Genie) has always been the first thing I install on my previous galaxies, Can someone work out how to make it work for sgs3 please
Kind regards Dan
I've had a look at the apps inside Cyanogenmod roms and can't identify a specific apk for news and weather I'm afraid so it must be part of something. Otherwise you could just install it and off you go. So far with my S3, I've added the calender, music, gallery and messaging apps from Cyanogen9 to replace the fat Samsung versions, gradually heading to a stock ICS feel, oh, Nova launcher as well.
Just pull the genie apk from Google apps and put it into /system/app
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
Its named GenieWidget.apk in CM9 ROMs and AOKP ROMs it will work because its based on 4.0
Here it is (extracted from a ICS customrom for the S2):

You have to copy/paste it to /system/app using Root explorer for example.
It's then in the list of your available widgets

Looking for APK's...

Hi,
I'm looking for the apk's of the following applications:
Samsung Apps
S Memo
S Planner
S Voice
Game Hub
Any idea where I can find them? I recently went into Team Insomnia Rom (Jellybean) and these were missing, well some anyways, but with S Planner, the widget is not there. But I just need apk files, and should be good. Thanks!
Here are the APK's you are looking for all except for game hub not sure about that one

Ah thanks a bunch! I'll try to find it, I'm sure it's out there somewhere, thanks again. Big help.
Do I just flash the file in recovery?
No it is just the apk's in a zip unzip and push to system/app
You can use androzip to do it from your phone
