Not sure if this info has been posted anywhere. So, I would like to know if there is any way to install APKs from a different rom onto current rom. I am currently running IncRom 1.2, but I have never been a fan of Sense dialers. I would like to install either MIUI dialer or any 2.3 based dialer. Is it possible, and if so, how would I go about doing that? Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
Just download whatever rom you want the apk from and put it onto your new rom? I hope that makes sense as I can't think of a better way to explain ...

I get what you're saying and I've tried that before, but then I always get force closes on phone app. What I've done before is grab apk from 2nd rom, place it in place of apk in current rom. I've tried zipping after that, and not zipping the file. After trying both ways, I reinstall rom, then run into the force close issue. Do I need to reinstall Rom after that? Or am I not even doing this the right way?
You need to fix the permission after you put it into your rom. I use root explorer and its two boxes for the first row then one for the other two.

Sounds good. Will try fixing permissions. Will report back on results. BTW, thanks for the help so far.
I don't think it is possible because the phone apk is tied into the framework. Please correct me if I'm wrong

I fixed permissions, removed current phone.apk and replaced it with the fixed phone.apk. I rezipped rom and reinstalled. Once it was up and running I was right back where I started with the original phone.apk, minus the fc's.

I know this works with the music.apk as I've done it in the past just replacing the stock app with the gingerbread music app and it worked just fine after setting permissions. But now that I think about it more I think I also had to install it just like a regualr app to get all the files in place then set permissions not just replace the file in the system/app folder.
The phone apk ties into other programs. It is not a stand alone flash. There would need to be some code changes to make it work.
Seems like too much work for me. Appreciate the ideas & help you guys offered.

Check out incredibly re-engineered...
Aosp dialer will probably not work on a Sense based roms as Sense is a UI overlayed and pretty deeply integrated into the Android os. You may want to consider one of the dialer options from market...Dialer one is popular. Or you may just want to consider moving to an aosp rom.

I have been trying to install reengineered but ever since I updated clockworkmod I can't. That's besides the point. I have used a few aosp roms but miss out on Sense. Guess I have my cake, but can't eat it. Oh well.

Downgrade clockwork or reflash via recovery. You wont be dissapointed.

Go into the development forum, look a couple pages back for a thread by someone called Prkezet (something like that) and flash that in ODIN.

Before you go to the trouble of flashing it in Odin, try doing a full factory reset ....
Factory reset won't bring it back. That just clears data of everything on the phone.. but since its deleted, it ain't gonna come back.
Do the Odin flash. Easiest thing, will be back to stock. I just really did mines yesterday .. because bugged me that someone I got airpush notification and I have a habbit of the littlest thing PC or phone to just reformat

Hey ...sorry to hear..do a Google search for the apk you deleted.
On another note ..really shouldn't mess with stuff you don't understand. Try reading what others have done or if your really wanting to go aheahd make a backup first. No need for 3 posts crying..
Hope helps..
So I just put the link that you gave me into odin and put my phone into odin and watch it do the magic or what?

My Pictures aren't working, they arent being shown even when I take pictures, I think I'm going to flash a rom when I get back home.
Yes. Try to restore thru titanium backup what u deleted.
Hello. When I am opening files or links it will ask me what app I would like to use, and even though I select "Always" afterwards it still prompts me again the next time I try the same action. Now I just hit "Just Once" in order to avoid that annoying "Clear defaults" message (Yes phone, I know where to clear defaults, you've told me a thousand times...). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
What Rom? Rooted or not?
Did you try the usual, turn it off and pull the battery, clean the odex left over files. ..etc?
Maybe some tweaks you did or a roque app you installed?
More information would be helpful.

Hello. It is rooted, but I'm pretty sure that this issue predates the rooting. I did it with a one click solution from here so I'm not sure what the rom is called. The screen shot attached should give you that info. Also, not sure what you mean by "clean the odex left over files". Thanks.

You are currently on the old stock Rom.
Go here and install the latest version UVBMD1:

Most likely that will fix your problem.

Does it matter which one I install (Factory Image, Odexed , Deodexed, Kernel, Modem)?
Also, can I just use ROM Manager from the app store o install it? Thanks.

It is up to you which one you want.
It looks to me that you didn't do this before, so my advice is to read, read, read and when you think you understand it READ everything all over again. We don't want you to brick your phone.
Go to Original Development section and learn how to flash Roms.
Good luck.

I've rooted and flashed roms before on my previous two LG phones and my tablet, I've just haven't seen them labeled like that before (Factory Image, Odexed , Deodexed, Kernel, Modem). My question is: Which is the best/easiest one to use for a newb like me (or a link to good thread that explains the difference)? Thanks.

I've been having the same issue.
T mobile note 2
Latest at&t Bean stalk Rom
Latest Devil kernel
No system apps are restored with tb
Basically no apps retain default settings
Examples
Facebook: does not retain dolphin as default browser
Handcent: does not retain quickpic as default gallery
This happens even if phone is not shut off. I can set them as default apps and at some point in the day they lose the setting. Happens whether clean install or dirty flash. Any ideas? If more info needed please advise.

I should add that some of my defaults work fine. I use different text editors to work on files from different apps and never have any issues with those. It seems to be mostly browsing issues on my phone.
Is there anyone who could help me install the stock Samsung apps(Samsung link/allshare etc.) On a custom ROM? I've been trying for months and I just can't figure it out, and know my way around a rooted android system but this is totally stumping me.
I've tried TB, both thru the app and making a zip; I've done the copy, change permissions, and wipe both caches with both the apks and jars...
If anyone could help I would very much appreciate it
Thanks

Hi all, I'm currently having issues with almost any AOKP ROM I am downloading. So far I've run PAC MAN, SOKP, and Google Play Edition ROMS and have run into the same issues across them all, so I am starting to think it was the way I've rooted my phone or a setting that I have made. My camera app keeps closing with "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped". Other apps randomly FC as well. Apps like Snapchat work, but not while using the front camera. I downloaded Google Camera and that app still FCs before I can use it, just like the stock cameras.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4 for T-Mobile. I rooted using ODIN, using CWM via Rom Manager app. My KNOX settings are 0x1. Does anybody know how to fix this? I did full wipes between each ROM, and this has been happening ever since I installed a custom ROM. Maybe some settings in CWM?
I have tried looking up the issue myself, but I have not yet found a solution to the issue. Also, I am a noob still, therefore please forgive me if this is a redundant question or if I ask you for further explanation. Thank you, please help me
Try running fix permissions in recovery.

I tried rebooting into recovery via Rom Manager, it doesn't even do anything once I click reboot. And so I ran fix permissions from Rom Manager and rebooted, still nothing. Would anybody happen to know the default mounts? Maybe it has something to do with those? Again, I'm a noob so I have no idea. I try to boot into recovery by holding down volume up + power + home key, and nothing happens. I've also tried booting holding down just volume up + power, still nothing. Maybe I have to do a complete re-root/reset of my phone? I downloaded a TW based ROM as opposed to AOKP, but I can't even get into recovery at this point. Is it a SU issue? Please help
Did you happen to use GooManager?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Use GooManager to see if you can get into recovery, if it doesn't work see if you can get into download mode and reflash firmware with Odin
