Hey there, I want to install some apps from another phone (Ideos X1/U8180) Specifically its launcher and a few of the optus bloatware that came with it, using app2zip it creates the flashable zip and I copy to my plays SD card, then I try to flash and get bad zip error. I tried the apks to my system all directory and giving them all perms and rebooting but that doesn't do anything. Using ICS beta and the u8180 runs froyo.

Have you tried actually installing the apk files normally?

Where can I download the Stock TW?
i used SGS tools and it screwed up my TW launcher and I couldn't restore it.
where can I find it?
thanks
I thought that SGS Tools backed up the original TW Launcher to the SD card?
EDIT:
Yes it saves to the SD card, it saves the original to /sdcard/sgstools/ according to the app.
One problem with that. It didn't restore it so I deleted this folder after I unistalled the app. Now I'm trying to find this apk with odex file sine I'm not able to install any TW apk unless its update.zip.

Ah right, well in that case I'm sorry but I can't help you.
Good luck.
So I've installed a few different roms along with their respective mods for different workspaces, rosies, etc...
1. My question is, after installing these mod files, is it required that I keep these files on the root of my SD in order for the mods to remain?
2. Oh also, is it really necessary for these files to be in the root of the SD card since CWM can navigate through folders to install? (I was just wondering)
Once the mods are installed the zips can be deleted unless you plan on using them again..... and the files don't have to be on the root. recovery can navigate folders.... hope this helps.....

can anyone gave me??
Flash stock ROM, use Titanium Backup to backup all System apps and restore them in your custom ROM. Titanium Backup is your answer.
well,i've use TB..
but i dunno what the name of aplication to be restored
I might be wrong but I think you can't backup odexed system apps with TB. It just never restores. o-o
Wait uploading.

You Are Correct Silvane, Only way to reinstall app is to push it via adb, or flash it, or include it in the zip file of the custom rom you will be using
Pushing them to system with root explorer apps work though.

These are all deodexed stock apk's. I wasn't sure which apk's you needed so I just dumped them all in. No stock email apk btw. Just gmail.

flash it? did you mean with cwm? or odin? (i heven't any experience with odin )
include that? how???
No you don't flash it. It's just a bunch of apk's in a zip file. Copy/paste the apk's you need to system/app then change permissions to rw-r--r-- then reboot.

Well I'm not sure why Samsung does this, however it drives me nuts. So here is the phone.apk without the increasing ringtone stuff.
Flash in recovery.
You must delete the "SecPhone.odex" in /system/app after installing. Until I can make a time to have the zip do it. Thanks

Enjoy!
I was looking for a way to disable this.. thanks!
Thanks man.. awesome mod...needed this
I flashed from recovery, rebooted and it said updating apps,starting apps, had my wife call but it still does that lame ascending ringtone. I tried rebooting and now every time it reboots it says updating apps, starting apps.. sucks lol takes a little longer to start up now. Any way to fix? I also found the file you talked about deleting but it said it was read only.

Wow I was waiting for this mod!!! Sham on you Sammy for making this wonderful Dev make it right. I for sure didnt forget to hit the thanks button on this one!
Worked like a charm. Had to delete the odex file, then the mod took. A cache/dalvik wipe took care of the "upgrading apps" screen. My ringtones start loud and stay that way. Many thanks!

I can't seem to find the "secphone.odex" file. Only secphone.apk.

Are you running a custom ROM? If so, you're probably already deodexed.
OK. I got ya. I still get the "updating apparently" on restart. I have cleared caches.

Not sure I can be of much more help if you're on a deodexed ROM already. I've stuck with rooted/de-bloated stock for the time being. Wiping the caches solved it for me, aside from the first boot after the cache wipe, of course, but I'm still fully odexed aside from that one file I deleted.
It worked for me this time, thinfs different from the first try, im now on the lite de-bloated stock rom and modded kernel

So it looks like I need to modify the zip install to remove the .odex file.
Makes sense since de-odexing turns the .odex into a classes file inside the apk, which is then edited. I'll edit the zip today to remove to .odex file.

Did this ever get done, sir?
antiochasylum said:
Flash in recovery. Even if you aren't de-odexed this should still work. In the zip I did not have it delete the .odex extension in /system/app. So after you flash this feel free to delete the SecPhone.odex, or leave it, your choice.

I installed and it did not work. I then used Root Explorer to delete /system/app/SecPhone.odex, cleared caches, rebooted and it works fine.
Thanks for the utility it was greatly needed.

I fully agree with you, this volume increase doesn't make any sense however, is there a way to revert back to the previous state should something go awry? Thanks.
Hello. So as title says I've accidentally deleted stock SamsungCamera.apk from system/app. I had backup of it but after copying it to the system/app folder it doesnt appear as an installed app. Reboot does not help. Any ideas what can I do? Im runing stock ROM.

Did you mount the system. How did you back up it. Using titanium back or any other app.

Nah, I did it the retarded way - just copied SamsungCamera.apk and odex to my sd card.
Flash the stock ROM zip and all will be fine

Permissions need to be 0644 and root access level if I remember correctly.

I remmber seeing Samsung Camera.apk separately on some thread for the phone. You can try searching.. If not unzip and take off the Samsung camera from the Stock and install and make it a system app, Considering some additional files required to make it usable..
