How can I install apk of Galaxy S3 to ICS S2? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Dear all,
I extracted VideoPlayer.apk from system image of Galaxy S3 firmware to install into ICS S2. I copied it to SD card and install via "My Files" but failed. Maybe it seemed related to sign-in problem.
I heard that S-voice of S3 was modified to be used in S2, so I guess there is any way to install S3 apk to ICS S2. I read XDA forum threads but I became confused. Could you tell me how to do it or proper link to show it?
Thank you.

Don't hold me to it, but I believe you not only need root access but also need a file manager capable of r/w ( root explorer is fantastic for this ) then IF the apk is compatible you'd want to install it in /system/app folder to replace the S2's video player. Now keep in mind I'm no expert, and I don't know if this is possible without a ported version, but the steps should be the same. As always, make a backup! Hope this helps.

Re-installing sprint apps

Hey,
I rooted my phone to Quantum and I am loving it. Just one problem though, I needed navigation tonight and it epicly failed on me. Epic right? (puns )
In all seriousness I wana reinstall the sprint gps from 2.1.1 because that worked for me and didnt give me false directions or act weird and not give me anything thats turn by turn...
Someone please help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Josh
If you look in The Epic Experience ROM's OP, there should be an add-on where you could flash a .zip of all the Sprint apps.

Im not much of a noob when it comes to technology but that managed to make my head hurt more.
So correct me if Im wrong, I go to Epic Experience ROM's OP (not at all sure that is) and I can get all the sprint apps (which I only want one of o-o)
Im just looking for a gps or nav. The whole reason I got Quantum was to ditch the sprint garbage and get 2.2 but, I need a working nav and sprint has been the only one so far. The navigation on quantum fails because it cant sync or give real time turn by turn directions. So Im looking for the sprint installation of it.
I have no idea where to start (and everything I searched was useless)
You said you're on Quantum ROM in the original post, so I went to the Quantum thread and on the first post is this link: DK28 Sprint Apps
Source: Quantum ROM thread
Since all the Sprint apps are zipped up, you can probably just pick out the Sprint Navigation apk file and install that one by itself.

What he said. Just extract the .zip and look for the Sprint Navigation apk
I believe its called SN28-1100-sprint-signed.apk
Just copy that file and move it to the system/app section using root explorer on your phone.
Edit: just tried it. You dont need to move it. Just install it regulsrly

Since you're installing a lone .apk file from that zip file. You need to enable non-Market application installations. Settings > Applications > Check "Unknown sources"
Then using your phone's file explorer, stock is "My Files", navigate to where you placed the .apk file on your SD card and launch it. It should start the installation process.

HTC Transfer Data App

Hello,
I've got a HTC Desire. My old phone is a Windows Mobile device.
A friend of me has a Desire HD with the App Transfer Data from HTC.
So I thought the Desire would also have this app and I could transfer Data from my messages from my WM device to the desire.
Is there a apk for this app somewhere?
Thanks for helping me.
Pulled from my ROM. It should be working.
Thanks for Transfer Data App i m also searching for this app. Still i didn't use this app, i hope it work's.
dont work for my Samsung Galaxy Tab, Installation failed
I am looking for something similar for my Samsung Galaxy SL i9003. If anyone has any idea, please share.
My Samsung GS2 failed too
@Samsung users:
Maybe your installations failed because this app is from htc?!

You can't install it, you need to copy to system and fix permissions on it via ROOT explorer.

The old version here cannot receive the picture associated with the contact. I have attached the newer version that comes with HTC Sensation. I got it from the file "Stock Apps+ODEX.zip" at this thread: [APPS] T-Mobile Stock Apps & Stock Apps+ODEX Files

Keeps downloading image even when already downloaded

My girlfriend has downloaded an image from internet by long pressing the image and then selecting "save image" on her Wildfire S with stock Android 2.3.3.
The problem is that the phone keeps downloading this image over and over again even when it is already downloaded. It tries to download the image about every sync action for over a week already.
Before i just delete the whole history i thought maybe someone here knows the answer to this problem, so she can avoid it in the future.
Many thanks for your help!
Hi, I have similar problem, but with applications. Sometimes phone starts downloading already installed app. Even if I set all apps to manual update only.
This behavior is really killing my data plan limit!
My friend with the same phone has this problem too.
Anyone have similar problem or solution to fix it?
The same with me. Does anybody know how to fix it?
Same here. Must be something specific to the wildfire S
I've got the same issue. I guess it'll go away once I can flash a CyanogenMod or MIUI ROM
Works for me alright
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA App
It's worth completely removing the offending application and then reinstalling it. I had the download issue with 'LED Light'. Removed it and reinstalled it and problem resolved.
I now have the same issue with another appl - will try the same solutoin
It seems to happen when you do an update which is interrupted partway
We ported this rom on the Aria and had the same issue. I replaced the DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk with the ones in CM7 and it now works fine.
Can you offer this for us?

Here are the apps. You need to delete them from your current rom and replace them for these.
How do I delete them without root access? My Wildfire S is not and can not be rooted at the moment

I assumed the Wildfire S was "rootable". That's a very goo question. You can try something but I have absolutely no guaranties it is going to work because I personally never tried it. Either way, it's your call.
**Make sure you back-up your phone to the Google Server because this will wipe all the data in your phone.**
1- Run the RUU for your phone. This will extract the rom to the temp folder of your computer. For me it's under C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\. An easy way to find it is to clear that folder prior to running the RUU. This way, it should be the only thing in there.
2- Enter the folder and look for a zip file called rom.zip
3- Open the zip file using 7-zip or Winzip. DO NO EXTRACT THE FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER TO REPACKAGE AFTER. THIS WILL SCREW UP THE ROM. You really want to make any addition or subtraction from the archiving utility.
4- Extract the system.img file. Now the challenge is to find a way to edit the content of that file. I personally have no idea how to but I'm sure there must be some tools to do that.
5- Once you've managed to open the .img file, under system/app, there should be DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk. Delete those and replace them with the ones I sent in my previous post.
6- Close the .img file.
7- From 7-zip, delete the system.img file and replace it with the one you edited.
8- Close 7-zip and follow the rest of the instructions from the RUU.
Again, no idea if any of this will work because I've never been in the situation to make changes on an unrooted phone. Your biggest challenge is step 4. If you cannot get in that .img file, then I guess you'll have to wait to get root access to your phone. My guess is that it shouldn't be too long since HTC agreed to unlock the HBoot.
Good Luck!
And is it possible to change this files in a "running" ROM Image (rooted, without flashing)?

I think so. Like I said, I never tried it so it's all speculation here. How about you try to install the apk on top of the ones you currently have, i.e. without deleting them? You do have the ablility to install from Unknown Sources correct?

Yes i have. But I'm new to Android, so I want to be careful.
I replaced both in system\app folder (without installing) and after that my market doesn't work anymore.
So I had to flash my ROM cause the Backup files didn't work too.
Was a lot of work, making all new (but at least Titanium Backup works ).
Maybe somebody other knows more?

I am a bit confused here. What do you mean by you replaced in system/app without installing? Also,you said you used Titanium Backup. I thought this app only worked on rooted phone
Unfortunately, I cannot be of much help because I really have an Aria with a ported rom from Wildfire S. I personally fixed the download issue by deleting and reinstalling these apps, but in reality, I have no idea if that would work on the actual Wildfire S. Sorry that I cannot be of any help.
My phone is rooted.
I mean I changed the apk files in folder system/app with those from you (using Root Explorer). Before I deleted them I made a backup of the original ones.

Ok, so try this then. Delete the apk and don't replace them. Flash the Rom and boot the phone. Then install the apk from ur original Rom, i.e. not the ones I provided, but the ones u originally deleted.

I already flashed my Phone with original ROM and it works again, but the bug is again there.
The point is, I dont want to flash my ROM every week so I hoped there is a solution to change without flashing again.
Otherwise I will wait, my there will be a fix from HTC.
But I wanna say thank you, for your help and your patience with me!

I'm with you on the flashing. I'm not sure HTC will release a fix for this though. However, what u can do is return ur phone and get another one. It seems not everybody has this issue. I'm personally glad I could resolve it on my phone.
Good luck!

[APP] Samsung Social Hub APKs - Reinstall

[APP]I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU IF THIS DOES NOT WORK, BRICKS, OR DESTROYS YOUR PHONE... TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN, PERSONAL RISK.....
I resently uninstalled my Samsung Social Hub from my T-989 T-Mobile SGSII (It may work on all Samsung Galaxy S II's) and was at a lost on how to get it back. I read about 10 to 15 post and they gave the instructions but the files couldn't be found on there download sites. I attempted to figure it out with SUCCESS!!... Mind you, I am BRAND NEW to creating anything for phones... So please go easy on me.
1. In ClockworkMod Recovery flash:
1samsung_social_hub_Push then 2.Social_hub_7.52. Incase only one of there installs, you should still be fine as it did for me, my auto updated to the latest Social Hub.
2. Reboot your phone and let it start up as normal.
3. Unzip the SocialHubAPKs on your PC. Once unzipped, copy all APKs to you SD card on your Android phone (and remember their location)
4. Now using a Root Explorer on your phone, find all the APKs, copy all & paste them in the "/system/app" folder located on you SGSII.
5. Now that all the Social Hubs from the zip are placed in the /SYSTEM/APP folder, simply REBOOT your phone and open up Social Hub, ENJOY!!...
PS: I used 1Samsung_social_hub and 2.Social_hub_7.52 from another page but couldn't remember from where... So Thank You to you guys for the first to parts, the APK's I put together myself... But it worked... This should also work if you have a debloated ROM but want Social Hub on your phone...
work?

Guys:
I've just turned mi Galaxy S4 from i337m to i9505 with Wanamlite 1.5 but when I try to sign in to Samsung Hub it says: "Invalid Device ID".
Do you know any solution? I've got some movies I bought before and I can't watch them
Truth be told, I don't wanna go back to i337m roms because they do not support apps to sd.
I would first uninstall app. Use file manger to delete apk info. I would use prop edit and rename the build prop of the new phone to the old one and reinstall the apk. Your Apks and movies should work

[Q] Apk Won't Install

I have a problem, I have copied an apk from my Star B943 (rooted) android phone and when I try to install it on my Nexus 7 2013 (rooted) it says apk not installed!! I am a noob and this is my first thread but I really like the holo design of this apk but I think it won't install because my tablet is not a mediatek device or because it was a system app? Could I possibly change my build.prop or does it read something else?? I honestly have no idea but any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Why would that app run on the Nexus 7 (4.3)? More than likely the app is too old to run on this version of Jelly Bean.
Even for me its not instaling,priblem prasing package.
I disagree with ^^^
Sent by 桑傑庫馬爾 :stirthepot:
If it's having problems installing the APK due to a parsing issue it's likely either corrupt, built from an incompatible version of Android, or is otherwise incompatible with the hardware provided. It could also not be properly crypto signed, I reckon.
I think it might be not compatible with the hardware as is doesn't work on my brothers S3 running 4.2.2, and what is crypto-signing? I am quite new!
Could this apk be recompliled (Changing target sdk in manifest and then recompiling?) to be compatible or is it not possible without completely rewriting the app? Thanks

I tried that. It doesn't show up in the app drawer and TB says it is there but not installed. Even after changing permissions.
I betting that this won't work. It could rely on framework from the other tablet, kind of like TouchWiz widgets not working on another launcher other than the stock TW Launcher.
