how to replace phone / contacts on stock ROM ? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all
i have a copy of the ICS phone and contacts apk's from here
BUT i'm not able install the apk's as the installer complains that there is a apk with the same name....
i've looked in /system/app and can;t see phone.apk or contacts.apk anywhere.
Can anyone please assist ?

Did you ever figure this out? I would like to keep my stock touchwiz rom with the multiwindow feature, but I would much prefer, the vanilla ics/jb phone and contacts app.

[Q] Synchronize on pays rom 2.1

I'm sorry to post here, because i dont have the right to post at dev forum.
I flashed pays-rom 2.1, and use Jorte . i just want to synchronize Jorte with my google calendar, but when i set the jorte , it always report error and crash when i open the calendar setting.
i recovery BlurCalendar.apk , BlurCalendarProvider.apk and CalendarSync.apk , and i fix that.
so, i want to know what other original apks cannot be removed?
If you want to be able add new events in the stock calendar, you'll also need the BlurEmailEngine.apk. those are the 4 apks you'll need to get the stock calendar fully working (I prefer it to jorte). I haven't found any others missing as of the v2.2 rom

Thank you for that information. Just for everybody else looking for this information, extract these files from the extra blur addon package that Pays publishes. Then you can put these files back in /system/app, for example with a short batch file. Then reboot, and you will have the stock calendar back.
Although the calendar is now working again, unfortunately my Android Agenda Widget isn't (others are working just fine).
Anybody any idea how to restore that functionality? Thanks in advance.

[Q] MIUI calculator.apk on cm7

Dear XDA.
I would like to have a miui calculator.apk on my oficcial cm7. Is it possible to do it? Will replacing the .apk files via root explorer work?
I don't think so. I wanted to do the same and I had many crashes of "new" calculator. You can try it, but prepare yourself to see some FCs.

[Q] Camera problem

Hi guys! I have been trying to get 4.2 camera working on my HOX in any possible way, but still I experience some crashes and slow performance. I just wanted to ask if anyone has stock camera apk from jb 4.1 and how to install it having v.4.2 on board?
Well i don't have the apk.....but my best guess is to use a root file explorer and replace the camera.apk file in the system apps dir
Edit : download a 4.1 JB rom from here and take out the camera.apk
And I'm on CM10 Nightly.
Just open the rom zip of the nightly, extract the apk from /system/app folder, push it to phones /system/app folder, change permissions to 644,reboot.
Remove 4.2 apk first.

[REQUEST] AOSP apps package Android L

I've been using the Android L port and I'm loving it. The only problem is that I hate all the official google apps. Plus the ROM only comes with Google photos. I really want to put something together once the ROM is more stable (although it really is good right now) that includes aosp style apps.
Does anyone know where I can get the apps? Can I just pull them from a custom ROM? Or can someone put together a zip that has a few aosp apps? I'm mainly thinking browser, gallery and a file manager, but suggestions are welcome.
EDIT: I was able to pull the apks out of another ROM, I chose the latest (7-20 at time of writing this) CM11 and put the files where they should be /system/app and I changed the permissions to match other files in the same location. Then I rebooted to recovery and wiped both caches. File manager (CM File Manager) and gallery worked fine, I can't figure out browser though. I found an app on the play store that was an AOSP Browser installer and tried that too, but browser keeps crashing on launch. So if anybody knows how to make AOSP browser install please enlighten me.
Thank you.
