I installed the stock ICS gallery as I much prefer it over the 3D gallery that comes with the Galaxy S2 and I stupidly deleted the 3D Gallery from my system apps.
I would normally make a back up but I wasn't thinking I would ever need this again, I was wrong. I can no longer have picture frames on my homescreens or set my lock screen wallpaper! I had no idea that all this would be effected.
If someone could help me out with reinstalling it I would be very much grateful. Im running Stock XWLP7
I have a CWM back up but don't want to back up the whole system folder as I have modded other things since such as Framework files.
Can I find the Gallery3D.APK and Gallery3D.odex file and simply copy and paste them back to my system/app folder and change permissions?
Any help would would be much appreciated
Thank you
As long as the pics gallery and the 3d gallery are named differently and u set the permissions correctly you should be able to. I have had both on one from before.

You can extract the apk from the system zip inside the cwm backup file using root explorer...
Thank you for your help guys.
I managed to extract the apk and odex file from Cwm back up, set permissions and it worked
Lesson learnt never delete things if it might interfere with others.
Who'd of thought that removing the gallery would mean I couldn't set lock screen wallpaper!

can u tell me exact location where you find .apk of gallery and odex file.. Coz i have same problem as like u
Another method
-Take the apk from a rom with that gallery included (e.g. villainrom) and install it asyou normally would
-open titanium backup and long tap on the gallery, then select "convert to system app"

Hello XDA,
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to change the status bar notification icon for a new sms from the standard Samsung closed envelope icon to the stock AOSP ICS square smiley face with the little tail. I have already got the icon and it is the correct size and file type (.png) and name (stat_notify_message.png) and I have tried a few ways of adding it into Mms.apk such as simply using 7Zip and decompiling & recompiling numerous times but the end result is always that the Messaging app is being removed completely and I'm having to restore a nandroid backup to get it back.
I have been looking all over XDA and have used trusty old Google to find solutions to my problem. Both come up with lots of different ways to theme, but none that solve my problem (as far as I can see anyway). Could anyone please point me in the right direction to find the guide on how to do it/explain to me how to do it successfully?
I am on a stock odexed XWLPG rom which is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If I remember correctly, its in SystemUI.apk

Really? Any idea what the file is called and where it is? I have gone through all of the drawable folders in SystemUI.apk and there is not one in there. The only place I could find it was in Mms.apk and it was called stat_notify_message.png

What I have done in the past is put the mms.apk on your pc. Use 7zip to OPEN ARCHIVE (NOT EXTRACT), then put the NEW .png file with the correct name on your pc. Now without unzipping the mms.apk just use 7zip to find the location of the file you want to replace. Now just hold down on the new .png file and drag it into the corrext location. Then 7zip will ask if you are sure you want to replace it. Hit ok or yes or whatever it says. Now move the mms.apk back onto your phone. Use root explorer and move it to /system. Then long press on it and choose permissions. Change it to rw,r,r. Then long press again and select MOVE. Then navigate to /system/app and paste. Reboot phone. It will work.
For some .apk they are picky like mms.apk dont like being extracted and zipped back up for some reason while others have NO issues when you extract them and rezip and rename then place them in.

Is that "stat_notify_email_generic.png" in the .apk, res, drawable-hdpi, by any chance?
Although, I think RockRatt may be on the ball. He posted while I was writing this.

If you copy the drawable-hdpi folder somewhere outside the zip, look at the 'stat_notify_blahblah.png' then you can see what ones you want to change over

Thank you so much RockRatt, you have solved my problem. Words cannot express my relief, thanks & gratitude for your sound advice. I had tried what you said to do previously, but never with the permission changes. Is that something that needs to be done for every apk or just some? Thanks once again, I am so happy! What an easy was to change the icon. It looks great. See screenshots.
So anyone out there in XDA land that is looking for a quick, easy mod (provided you're rooted) then simply follow RockRatt's easy to follow guide and you will never go wrong. And give him a thanks if his guide helped you in any way!!

What's the mod and how is it installed? Does it have to be flashed by CWM? A little more info on the problem would probably help.

You can clear the cache & dalvik-cache either before or after flashing the battery mod. I'd probably try it before and see how you go.
You know how to clear the dalvik-cache, yes??
I think the problem with the VK battery files is they are from a pre jkay release. Now the Rom is using jkay framework I don't think you can flash them. It could be possible to swap the icons like the OP did though using 7zip?

Anyone know where I could find a flashable ZIP for inverted apps that would work on Sonics GS3 ROM? Mainly looking for an inverted app for the MMS app to match his theme?
All the inverted apps so far are for aosp roms. A lot of the apps work on touchwiz, but might take some tweaking to get them to work. I am currently using my own inverted cm9 mms.apk on touchwiz and its working fine. I have attached the apk Im using, you can replace the stock with it using root explorer or something.
many of these can be installed or pushed. Zips may not work due to epic touch scripting

What exact steps should I take to get this on my phone? I went into the system apps folder and only found SecMms.apk. I went ahead and renamed that one to have as my backup in case. I took the file I downloaded from your reply and renamed it to SecMms.apk and set the permissions. I rebooted but now I am not seeing any messaging app in my drawer? I did then try opening the SecMms.apk and installing it and it wont let me. Am I doing something incorrectly?

I did switch the new app to match the other apps in that folder RW-R-R. I am suppose to be renaming your app you attached to SecMms.apk correct? because I dont see a Mms.apk in system/app, just see the SecMms.apk

Hey guys, i tried flashing a theme which was the circular battery percentage w/15 toggles last night, via cwm and when i rebooted after flashing it took longer than usual and when it finally booted i got a pop up saying " unfortunately system ui has stopped working" how do I fix it? i didnt have any backup (yes I know im a genius), now, i was wondering, does any of you guys have the stock system ui files to flash it via cwm?
here is the h9 one
thanks, man but when i try and install it it tells me that the app was not installed
you dont intall it rename your old systemui.apk to systemui.bak and place the new one in the same spot it should be system/app then reboot your phone and it should work or you can reflash your rom with out wipe and that will fix it too

Use an app called root explorer or ef file explorer push the systemui.apk in system/app, set the permissions and then reboot your phone.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2
thanks for the answers guys, sorry for being such a noob, but where can i find the systemui.apk file? in order to replace it
in the folder system/app
is there any tweak i must know of in order to replace/rename the file systemui.apk it doesn't let me do anything because it's a read only file
and does it matter if mine is a telus i747m?
what app are you using to do this
root explorer, with superuser permissions
ok when your in the folder where systemui is click mount r/w at the top of the screen then you can rename it
thanks man, you saved my life right there, now, the other question is, where did you get the systemui.apk file? and could I find it for a galaxy note i717d as well?
i pulled it from the zip in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902178
as for the note you should be able to pull it from a stock rom in its section on these forums

That's just a theme it won't make the dialer scale properly , go v to the play store and search for dialers. Use that one.

Also, if you set you DPI to 240, the stock dialer will look messed up.

I ready reread Bala thread look like his mod no longer universal , best thing you need to do now is download stock rom,unzip get the dialer & camera apk then use root explore copy/ paste into system/ app or you can restore ( if you did nandroid backup )or reflash stock rom.

Sorry I don't have computer with me and I can't upload file with my note.
1st . Copy file into ex card
2nd. Open root explore ( can find on play store ) / storage / ex card / hold app you want to copy / copy .
3th. Hit back button 2 time / find system / app / set permission to Mount R/W ( check on top of screen , you will see grey box with letter Mount R/O ,go head touch that box , you will see the R/O change to R/W ) / paste. Done
You have to delete old file you want to replace. ( Next time if you want to do something ,make sure move / paste file you want to replace to ex card , incase something go wrong you still have original file to copy back )
