Livewallpaper on Bonsai

Hi All,
I was wondering if I could put out a request for some APKs. I would like to have live wallpapers on Bonsai and have tried putting livewallpaper.apk and the picker into my Epic but I don't have Root Explorer and I can't seem to change the permissions on those files. Right now all of the APKs I found have Read Yes Write Yes and the other one No. All of the APKs in my app directory have Read Yes Write No and other one No. Could someone post those APKs with permissions set like that? I don't know if that is my exact problem or if it is worth it to buy RE for only that purpose.
TIA,
DD

I believe its been mentioned before that ES File Explorer brings most of the Root Explorer functionality for free. I could be wrong though since ive never tried it myself. Worth a shot though if its just a permissions issue.

U can also use sdx stock app removal app, just put the apk in the adx folder on the SD card and go Into the app then to manage backups and got restore

Thanks. I have tried everything. I could not change the permissions using sdx or ES File manager. All I could do with those programs was access the system directories. Unless I am doing something wrong, I will either need to get Root Explorer and change the permissions or get altered livewallpaper apks.

I think the frankenstine rom thread has a flashable zip for live wallpapers

OK. I think I may be confusing some people.
I would like to have Live Wallpapers in Bonsai since it's been removed. I did some research and found that you need to install the livewallpaper apks into the system/app directory. I did that using ES File Manager and rebooted. It didn't work. I did some more research and a few people had the same issue. The solution was to make sure the permissions in the livewallpaper apks was exactly the same as the permissions as the other apks in the apps directory. The apks in the directory all have Read Yes, Write No and Hidden No. All of the livewallpaper apks I found had permissions set up as Read Yes, Write Yes and Hidden No. I figure if I change the Write from Yes to No, it might work. I'm not 100% positive which is why I don't know if it's worth it to buy Root Explorer just to experiment. I'm hoping someone can provide me with the livewallpaper and livewallpaperspicker apks with altered permissions that have those settings.
Estewa_619, I will try that ROM. Thanks!

Tried the Frankenstein ROM livewallpaper apks and it still didn't work. The permissions are still set up as Read Yes, Write Yes and Hidden No.

This is very easy to solve. Go to midnight rom and download it to computer. Open up the midnight extras folder and you will find lots of zip files in there that are all flashable in CWM. Just extract the folder, then copy the live wallpaper zips you want onto your sd card, then flash in CWM.
Alternatively, what I normally do is download the rom you want to flash (Bonsai). Open it up on your pc. Navigate to system/apps. Paste the livewallper apks into that directory. Then flash normally. This will include any files you want in the system/app folder.

7zip (windows) is what u want to use 2 open the zip but DO NOT EXTRACT it!!! Well in 7zip paste the apks u want into system/apps. Then close 7zip. Move the rom 2 ur sdcard and flash as u would normaly. U can also replace the boot/shutdown animation and a few other parts of the rom that you can add or subtract stuff from. I hope this help as not to sound offensive but u seem a bit newbish and 7zip isa great tool for viewing zip files w/o extracting them took me a good deal of time 2 find this handy tool, hope this helps ya out...

I tried all of the cut and pasting techniques. None of them worked. I came across this online:
Code:
adb push LiveWallpapersPicker.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
Code:
su
remount rw
cat /sdcard/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk > /system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
exit
exit
I went into the dos shell and sure enough it worked!
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Here are the .zips from the midNIGHT ROM extras folder... Flash one of these, should work.
But the adb method works just as well... Maybe even faster.

FD24 voicemail apk

can some one please post the voicemail apk from the fd24 build?

You can simply extract it from your rom zip file. Unzip your downloaded file and goto system/app folder. You will find the apk file from there. Extract it and move to your phone's /system/app folder. That's it.
Edit: it seems like it's not there. Checking...

lol. its not. i can only find it in the patch folder... witch is a .p file and renaming to an apk file doesnt work.

if you are referring to visual voicemail, here you go. Push to system/app and check permissions and reboot..

Like I said I was checking more deep inside.
OK. Try this.
1. Copy the vtt-sprint.apk file from zip file to your phone's /system/app folder.
2. Unzip attached file and copy com.coremobility.app.vnotes.apk file to /data/app folder (if the permission is different with other apk files, then change the permission like other files)
3. Reboot and check if you see the voicemail. I think this would be enough to make voicemail working.
If not working,
4. From attached zip file, copy com.coremobility.app.vnotes.apk to your sd card.
5. Run com.coremobility.app.vnotes.apk and this will install the voicemail again.
Done. Let me know if it does not work.

[Solved] stock Jellybean calendar widget on custom ROM not showing vibrant color

Hello. I'm currently running a cm10 kang ROM but every gaaps package I've flashed has the old ICS calendar widget with the washed out colors. I was wondering if anyone knew of a gaaps package that had the vibrant JB widget or just a .apk I can install.
EDIT Ok, I got it working. I took the .apk from a stock Jellybean ROM and copied into system.
So,
1. download the .apk here. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4b...DZEUmgydHRPUTQ
2. Use root explorer or something that's able to access /system and navigate to system/app and go to CalendarGoogle.apk and move it to your desktop or your SD card. (personally I deleted it since if something went wrong I could just reflash the gaaps package to fix it.)
3. Using root explorer copy the .apk I posted to /system/app and make sure you change permissions. (I personally have them all set to read, write, and execute)
3.5 If you try to click on the app no that it's copied it will not install, just wanted to let you know that this seems normal.
4. Reboot
5. Once your phone has booted back up try adding the widget and it SHOULD be the more vivid colored widget!

It works fine!
However, I got duplicated calendar apps and entries in sync settings. Deleting original Calendar.apk and GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk solved the problem.

[Q] accidentally deleted clock after root (4.04)

I rooted my phone following this thread for 4.04 successfully, but I accidentally deleted the system clock app while trying to get rid of the bloatwares. (I think it's called clock 1.0 in root uninstaller)
I checked the system/app folder and I have a file called "clockPackage,odex", but I don't have the "clockPackage.apk" file. Is that the file I need to get the default system clock app back? If yes can someone please upload it for me? otherwise what do I need to do to get it back?
Thanks in advance!

Just open up the rom you have wherever its saved extract the clock.apk. Then copy and paste it to system/app with the same permissions as the other apps r-w-r-r or 644 and root. Then reboot when it boots back up go to app drawer and you will see the clock app again.

thanks for the reply! sorry for my noobiness, but which file is the rom and how do I extract it? I looked through the unzipped files I used for rooting and didn't find any apk files

If you are rooted get root explorer to open the zipped rom then extract it to sd card then copy and paste like i said.

took a while for me to find the right rom haha, but I solved the problem, thank you so much!

Don't know what ROM you are on... your knowledge of pushing apps to /system (ie., via adb), etc., so I'm attaching the stock samsung keyboard (plain grey) with auto-correct functionality. You need to be rooted at least. Copy the attached apk to your phone... then, using your favorite root file manager (like Root Explorer, etc) copy to /system folder first... fix permissions to rw.r..r.. then, MOVE to /system/app. It will ask if you want to replace the current "SamsungIME.apk", answer yes. You should be good to go.

Those are folders/files in the flashable zip. Let's try the simpliest approach first.
1. Download "Root Explorer (File Manager) from the PlayStore, and install
2. From my post #6 above, save the attached file (SamsungIME.apk)... on your phone's sdcard
3. Open Root Explorer, and navigate to the folder on your phone (sdcard) where you put the SamsungIME.apk... long press it, then select "Copy"
4. now while still within Root Explorer, navigate to /system folder, and hit "Paste" (make sure you mount as R/W.. it's the button at the top. If you are mounted as Read Only, you'll get an error message "You cannot past here because the file system is read only". Just hit the "Mount R/W" toggle at the top of screen.
5. Now, "SamsungIME.apk" is in your /system folder. You need to fix permissions. Long press "SamsungIME.apk" and select "Permissions". There are boxes with green check marks. toggle the boxes so that you only have green check marks in: Owner: R W ; Group: R ; Others: R. Hit "OK"
6. Now, long press "SamsungIME.apk" file again, and select "Move"
7. Navigate to /system/app (you should already be in /system, so just tap the "app" folder
8. Make sure you are still mounted as "R/W", if so, tap the "Paste" key at bottom. this will put "SamsungIME.apk" in the /system/app folder
9. if you did all this correctly, you should be good to go...

Okay I tried finall got it in the right system folder like u explained I attach a picture. Its still not working. Do I just need to reboot or flash? I use goo manager.
Hope I didnt do anything wrong while moving it to app system

It appears you are not understanding some of the android basics...and that can be extremely dangerous... especially since you are rooted. From you screenshot, you show zip files in your /system folder. Per my previous post, I stated to copy "SamsungIME.apk" to /system... fix permissions... then MOVE to /system/app. Your screenshot shows zip files in your /system folder (i.e., "SamsungIME.zip"). My attachment is the apk file itself. So apparently when you downloaded, it zipped it for compression purposes. YOU NEED THE APK. I suspect it is inside that zip file.. so you'll need to know how to unzip that zip.. and get the ".apk" The APKs goes into the /system/app folder (Not /system). Try again, and get the SamsungIME.apk out of that zip... copy that apk to /system.. fix permissions... then move (not copy) to /system/app (it's a sub folder within /system). If this didn't work, you have done something wrong.

Damn I had the feeling some was wrong. So should I get that out of the system folder? How do I do that ? I cant delete or move them. Does it harm if I leave them there? Ya im trying that now how yiu explained the apk I get it . Thanks alot tho for ur patients

I use Root Explorer... if you long press the file, you get the option to delete file. Delete the ".zip" files in /system folder. Your screenshot looks like ES File Explorer (or something similar). You should be able to "select" that zip file, then delete. Go back to my Post#6 and download the APK file (SamsumgIME.apk)... do not zip it... you should be able to download file as apk. Then follow my previous instructions. Again, get the APK file (not .zip) to /system folder.... then fix permissions... then MOVE (don't copy or you will leave a copy of the apk behind in /system) to /system/app folder. System apk files belong in the app subfolder of system (/system/app). When you go to paste the apk in /system/app, you will be asked to replace existing file... replace it. Try again... report back.

Ok thanks will do that tomorow . I use es explorer yes. When I try to delete it says file cannot be deleted. Cant see any apk file I use windows 8 maybe tahts why?
