HOW TO: Get flawlessly working Gallery with Picasa sync in Smoothrom - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

Hi! I found a way to make Gallery to work flawlessly with Picasa sync in Smoothrom (should work in other roms)....:laugh:
I did research but this solution posted in [APP][MOD][addon.d] Stock Gallery w/ Picasa Sync by mkilc when you try to share or edit the images the app crash or it tells you that it cant use the image.
The steps:
1) Download Stock rom, I downloaded Grouper-JDQ39_4.2.2-Deodex_Rooted-02-14-13-teshxx.zip from goo.im
2) OF COURSE Download SmoothRom (5.1 in my case)
3) Extract content of stock rom to a folder
4) Open Smoothrom using 7-zip or whatever you like
5) Go to system/app and delete Gallery2.apk
6) Find in the extracted stock files system/app/GalleryGoogle.apk and rename it to Gallery2.apk
7) Copy the renamed file into the open folder in 7-zip of Smoothrom (system/app)
8) Now you can install the ROM as you would normally do: BACKUP WIPE INSTAL ZIP......
9) DONE!! Now you can edit and share Picasa images without any problems.
I know there must be a way doing this without having to wipe and install but i did this because I needed to reinstall the rom after messing up without backup.
It should be something like this: Force Aplication shutdown, delete Gallery2.apk from system/app / copy the renamed file from the stock rom / reboot in recovery / wipe dalvik cache and reboot.... CORRECT ME IF IAM WRONG, Im not an expert....
I hope you found this usefull

Add an application in a custom rom

Hello,
How can i do to add a software for installing it during the installation of the rom.
I explain:
I need to have Estrong File when i flash my Desire.
How can i do ???
I put apk file in data\app and system\app, after i use sign rom, but when i flash my Desire no application appear.
Why ???Thanks
Unzip the ROM ZIP file, add the APK to just /system/app and then rezip it - if you put it in /data/app and the wipe before first boot you'll obviously remove the app
Works fine for me

Cant add contacts - Deleted stock app

Title says it all really. I deleted the stock app for Contacts as I didn't think it'd make a difference since I had Go Contacts EX install as well.
But now when I try add contacts through Go Contacts I get the No application was found to handle this request message.
Is there any way I can reinstall the stock go contacts app? Without reinstalling a ROM or w/e.
Cheers.

- nandroid backup just in case...
- assuming you haven't modified it, reflash the rom.zip without wiping anything
technically this is reinstalling the rom, but you won't lose any data. reflashing will give you back the original contacts.apk
alternatively if you're s-off:
- copy and extract the rom.zip on PC
- locate contacts.apk within system/app
- paste contacts.apk into system/app on phone and reboot

Running ICS 4.1.1 but with these problems :
1. When i go to set a ringtone it open my file browser (ES File Explorer) to select a file (!) and not the common ringtone list. Like there's no ringtones in phone.
2. I restored contacts successfully but there aren't sorted in groups as i had it. (Friends, Family etc)

1. The ES File Explorer is set as the default application that is opened when you want to select a ringtone.
Go to Settings, Apps, ES File Explorer, then press clear defaults. It should now ask you which application you want to use to select a ringtone.
2. You will have to do this again manually, unless you have your contacts on google or another service.
3. I'm not sure about this. Try deleting them by connecting to a PC.
4. You need to use a new version of SuperSU, I've attached it in this post.
Enjoy Jelly Bean!

Thank you very much! I have another question about the attached app. It's a zip file which contains META Information and binaries in a System folder. So i have to place the binaries at the right place in my phone (obviously at /system/xbin , /system/app ) right? And the META folder goes where?

No do not extract the Zip file!
If you have ClockWordMod installed simply boot into it and use install zip file command from it, and locate the zipped file (on your phone memory).
If you do not have CWM, use fastboot to boot into CWM (you can find that information on some other threads), and install the zip file from there.
Follow these steps: (except with the above zip file)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123
You have to copy over the zip file to your phone first, then boot into CWM, and install the zip file.

All Good! But i noticed another "problem" now.. in my Gallery i have a folder named "imageDownloader" who contains 700+ photos. I delete them all and after reboot it exists again. What is that anyway?
update: The images belongs to a folder named "07-11-2012_21-01" , it seems to be cached data of the app "Thumb". This folder is created by the backup, is located in sdcard and i can't delete it, even through my pc.. i don't know why :/
Unable to connect to Wireless N-only or 5GGz networks after update
I've been unable to connect to my home network on either band in the 'N' mode since updating to Jelly Bean. I have no problems seeing both networks and it says they're "saved", but when I click connect, it doesn't proceed to "authenticating" or obtaining an IP address.
I've tried several Custom ROMs with the same result, and I've never had this problem with any ICS versions and can regain connectivity by rolling back the update.
I've tried low-level troubleshooting (no network encryption, MAC reservation, multiple reboots, etc.) with no luck. I'm currently forced in a mixed N/G mode on 2.4 GHz to use my Wi-Fi.
There have been occasional reports of this over the last year or so on various platforms, but I'm wondering if there's any software/files, etc. that can be tweaked or looked at to see where this issue is manifested.
I cannot delete some files located in my /sdcard. I tried through "Root Browser" , through my PC... nothing worked :/ Any help please?

[Q] HTC Locations' App. on other Custom ROMs

Hi,
I need to install HTC's Locations app on any custom ROM (ie: MyOneV or CM9/CM10)
So any1 can help me with this ?
(i tried it though, by moving these files (from MyOneV5.0FX Removed apks) htclocation.apk,locationpicker.apk,locatiooninstaller.apk in System/app folder bt it didn't worked)
When you move those files to system app manually, you need to put right permission rw-r--r-- then reboot.
Or the simplest way is, open the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip with 7-zip (not extract), delete all apks that you don't need and leave those location files in zip.
Then flash the zip in recovery.
And these files will not work on a CM rom.

:good:
Thankz
I tried that too, by removing all apks from zip keeping the said three files & flash it in recovery, still it doesn't appeared in apps!
Though i'll try again may b missed something or some file..
I just tried it, it works.
Your filename looks different, attached here the files from the Removed_Apks_RC5.x.zip, I named it to location.zip. Flash in recovery.
It Worked: Thanx

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST OR YOU ARE A NOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Download rootbrowser lite from the market. Now if you have the cm zip on your phone, navigate to it, open it, go to system, then go to app and find gallery2.apk. Click on it and rootbrowser will give you 2 options, click extract. This will extract just the apk to /storage/sdcard/0/extracted (its a folder now). Great now to add it to whatever rom you are running right now:
If you are trying to install the camera app on any touchwiz based rom it will fail, don't try, it will fail. If you are installing it on another AOSP follow the following directions:
1. With rootbrowser go to /system/app in the root directory of your phone. Then find your gallery2.apk and copy it and paste it somewhere on your sdcard (not in the extracted folder though) where you can find it in case something goes wrong.
2. After storing your old camera apk somewhere safe, go to the extracted folder on your sdcard and copy the gallery2.apk you extracted from cm.
3. Paste the cm gallery2.apk in the system/app root folder on your phone. It should ask if you want to overwrite a file (it will be overwriting your old gallery2.apk) just hit yes.
4. Reboot and hope for the best.
5. If it doesn't work try either clearing dalvic cache, cache or fixing permissions from your recovery
6. If all else still fails it means that the cm camera simply won't work with the rom you are using. This is why you made a backup. Simply find where you put your backup apk and copy it back to system/app folder and overwrite the cm one.
Once again you should have made an nandroid backup from your recovery before doing this so worst comes to worst you can always restore to that if you screw up.
If I have helped, please slap that thanks button
