In short - no, there are libraries that need to be copied over with the apks. Also, you may get better responses in the actual t-mobile GS3 forum.

Although it's really T999_UVDLJA [the latest]... you can find the files here:

Not only was this Question put in General and not the Q&A section, it is a readily accessible answer just by doing a little searching.
Seeing as how this was your first post, I can tell that you probably skimmed the Rules when you registered. If that was the case, here they are again.

[Q] Root question

Hey guys,
I am brand new to rooting Android devices and have a few questions.
1) Do I have to install a new Kernal to be rooted?
2) Can I root my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 regardless of when Sprint pushes updates? How does carrier updates effect my rooted device once it is rooted?
3) How do I backup my stock GN2 incase I do something wrong so I can go back to factory?
4) I see videos at Galaxynoteroot.com that seem good for the Sprint variant, as well as on here. Which is best to use, most videos on how to root the sprint version of the GN2 are from October or November of 2012.
5) Use a toolkit or not?
6) Can I root, keep touchwiz, use Go Launcher, and find a way to enable Multiview for all apps since its rooted?
Thanks guys, appreciate the help. I really would like to get a handle on the basics as this is my first attempt to root, and this phone is pricey! So I will wait for your help, any and all advice appreciated.

Removing ROM on MAC

Hi there,
I was wondering if I can restore my s3 back to original rom using my MAC computer. I have to send it back to my provider to fix so I need the original ROM back on but my house only has MACs. Any input will be appreciated. Also if you could provide me with the steps on how to restore it.. i tried looking but no success. Thanks

I came from sprint with their variant of the s2 I believe that you can use a program called heimdal I'm sure a Google search could help you find out more about it and how to use it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Im only posting here because google was useless. Kept giving me the steps on how to do it on regular PC

Simple Google search.
