[Q] [i8160][JB]Use stock ROM apps on custom ROM? - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
is it possible, to use apps from the stock ROM (telephone app, Samsung e-mail etc.) with a custom ROM like CM10.1?
I started with a deodexed stock ROM and and took some of the Samsung apps and tried to install them in CM10.1. Installation failed.
It also did not work when I copied the apk files into the system app folder.
I thought, a deodexed apk file is again complete without requirering the correct framework etc., but obviously, something is still missing/wrong.
Does anyone have an idea, why using Samsung stock ROM apps on CM10.1 fails? Can this be fixed?
I would really like to use the telephone app from Samsung instead of CM10.1 phone app. Or the FM radio app.
Is there a chance?
Thanks!
Regards
Klaerchen

stock apps arent compatible with aosp roms

Some of them will work if you deodex them first, but you can't install them as a "normal" app.
You have to copy the apk to /system/app then set the correct permissions and reboot.
If not working then it's possibly depends from the touchwiz framework and launcher.

You can download a CM7 rom, open it with winrar or 7zip, browse to system/app and get your wanted sms app.
Then put it on your phone (root required) in system/app and set the permissions the same like all the other apps in that folder.
Make a backup of your phone before doing this, in case anything goes wrong
I'm surprised that you wanna do this.
I'm always trying to make stock MMS app to work in cm.

I will try to extract mms.apk from cm7 but i'm not that sure if it will work on stock ( adrenaline rom ) -_-

[Repository] JB - ICS - AOKP & Stock APK's

I had a thread on the GSII Forums for an APK Repository and it was heavily used. Since I'm now on the GSIII and starting devlopment I figured I'd start the APK Repository for this forum as well. I will do my best to keep a complete list of all Stock and AOKP APK's. I WILL NOT add any paid apk's to this list so please don't ask. Also, if I include any modded apk's or customized items that other developers created I'll be sure and give credit to them.
Hope this thread helps.
** I am not responsible for your phone if anything happens. Please flash at your own risk and be sure to MAKE BACKUPS. **
The main purpose behind this thread is to have a central location for all the Stock Jelly Bean and ICS APK's. I will include Mods for APK's as well as I find them.
Instructions for Flashing APK's
**Most APK's are just like any other app. You download and install it like any other app.
Some APK's are system apps (Email, Exchange, Messages, any app that can't be deleted without using TiBu). For these APK's you will need to:
DO A NANDROID BACKUP or backup your phone however you see fit. If you fail to do this and something goes wrong, please don't start trolling this thread.
1. Download the APK
2. Use a Root Explorer and move the downloaded APK to your system/app folder
3. Reboot in to Recovery
4. Wipe Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache (Dalvik Cache is located under 'Advanced')
5. Reboot Phone and Enjoy
*NOTE: If you have any permission issues with system APK's or Moving them to the system/app folder you may need to change their permissions. To do this, open a root explorer and navigate to the system/app folder and find the APK you moved there. Check the permissions and make sure they are set to rw-r--r--. If you have any other issues try wiping dalvik cache again and rebooting your phone.
Here is a free root explorer that I use, there are several others in the market.

Remove 'AccuWeather.com ' logo from LockScreen.
To do this you need to modify your framework-res.apk.Navigate to res\drawable-xhdpi and find the .png labled 'keyguard_lockscreen_ic_weather_logo.png'. I have attached the image you can download and move to this folder.
Instructions:
1. Download this .png
2. Use a root explorer (ES File Explorer or Root Browser Lite), Copy the .png you downloaded above and Navigate to your system folder
3. Once in system folder, navigate to system/framework/framework-res.apk
4. Open framework-res.apk and navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi
5. Paste the .png into this folder (overwite the image if prompted).
6. Restart your phone, and the accuweather logo should be gone. Enjoy
Extended Power Menu - I have tested on Stock JB.
If you try flashing this on something other than a stock JB rom please make a backup prior to flashing. I have not tested this on anything else. Also, most custom ROM's have an extended power menu by default.

I've never needed to set permissons for the service APKs when I add them directly to the system/app folder or if I'm replacing system apk's with something different. If I need to update the thread to include how to change permissions I'll be more than happt to do so. I assume the system/app folder has permissions assigned to it and any APK's that fall within that folder inherit the same permissions. If I'm wrong let me know.
Thanks for the heads up.

Some apps will work and some will not. If they are system apps that can't be deleted without using titanium backup or manually removing them from the system/app folder more than likely you'll have issues with them.
There are some very stable ported JB leaks and aokp roms available, why not just flash a JB rom

I have uploaded the S Planner Widget. You can download it from HERE.
This is a great idea! Suggestion if its ok. Maybe indicate which are Touchwiz dependent or are safe to install regardless of Rom.. I can see a new person thinking they can download the original apk and install it on a non Touchwiz rom. We know how much everyone reads before flashing.

I have the APK's broken out in the OP based off ROM (TW and AOKP). If users decide they don't want to read the OP and flash something that isn't made for their rom....I can't be responsible for that. I'm also not certain what apps will work on different roms and which ones will not. I haven't tested all apk's on all ROM's. I'm just doing my best to provide a centralized location that members can come to and download apk's they have lost or need.
Any way to get the group MMS apk in here?

Photosphere on any rooted S3

To get photosphere working on your rooted S3 :
unzip the attached files,copy the apk's to system/app and set permissions to rw-r-r / 644,copy the .so files to system/lib and set permissions to rw-r-r / 644.Reboot and enjoy photosphere on your S3.Working well on leaked 4.2.2.Files are taken from stock Nexus 4 JDQ39 ROM.
For inspiration and sharing photosphere's :

Tried Installing it on Omega v45, but when I shift to Photosphere and Align the first picture, the app crashes without a FC message. Any pointers? I had chosen to install the stock camera/gallery app from Aroma with Omega.
" I had chosen to install the stock camera/gallery app from Aroma with Omega " ???
Flashed the zips in recovery ? Maybe now you have the APK's installed without the needed .so files,they are in the Photosphere N4 JDQ39.zip,unzip and copy all three files to system/lib and set permissions.Without these lib files it will not work.

The Omega installer, as an addon, gave me the option to install the stock camera/gallery along with the samsung camera/gallery. Didn't have to flash separately.
The .so files were already there, so i replaced them with the ones in the zip and made sure permissions were 644. The gallery/PrebuiltGMSCore.apk were installed all permissions were changed.
If you installed both apk's from the first post with the lib files and it does not work on Omega, I should change the title in : "Photosphere on any rooted S3 except on Omega."

And i'm on Omega 45.1 too. I had one quit out of the Photosphere in normal mode the first time, and after that, I was able to make a photosphere of my room
So, for it's working great.
PS.: For those who are to lazy for putting it by hand into the folders, there is a flashable zip-file here .

Here is the link to the required apk files from .96- http://db.tt/6BiUQl9O
After pushing the apks to /system/app, you also need to set permissions like this -

As Ben has said it above, simply pushing the apk may not work. If you are on a stock/stock based rom then the apks will work but if you are on a AOSP rom then there are very slim chances if the apks working.

Trebuchet launcher for Stock ROM?

Hello!
Is there a way I can get an updated Trebuchet launcher?
Basically, I'm going from CM to Stock, and I really would like to hide icons in my launcher. Yes, that's the only reason why I need this.
I've tried Nova, apex, etc. But they all lag.
Thanks!
try simply pulling the trebuchet apk from a cm zip and install like a regular app or copy/paste the apk into /system/apps and change permissions on it to rw-r--r-- and reboot
just make sure the android versions are the same (use a 4.2.2 cm rom for 4.2.2 stock, a 4.3 cm rom for 4.3 stock, etc)

+1, but better install as a system app (/system/app). To get it without having to reboot, put the APK in /system first, modify its permission to rw-r--r-- (0644), and move it to /system/app after that. The phone will lag for a second and then Trebuchet is ready as soon as you press Home.
