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.

stock messaging app on htc inc

Who are you asking? I never uninstalled stock messaging so I'm not sure who you are directing that towards. This was my first attempt at trying to move apks around so I don't have enough info.
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.
Hi guys, i am new to xda. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S II with stock jelly bean 4.1.2 (***LSW firmware version). I accidentally deleted my settings application (i converted it to user app by using rom toolbox and it disappeared). I have no backups so i was looking for someone who could extract a new "Settings.apk" compatible with my device and firmware version so that i could reinstall it. Thanks in advance to everyone!

Isn't there a way to just install the settings.apk without having to reflash the whole rom?

have you look into your root folder then data/app to find setting.apk, or use titanium backup to convert back to system app
Yes, as i said in the first post i have no backup and the system/app folder doesn't contain any settings.apk. It disappeared completely. I also looked for it on the web but no one seems to have uploaded it online. This is the reason why I have posted here.
Please can anybody help me? I can't believe no one has got this phone here on xda..

If nobody can help you. Try it yourself. Download the firmware and find a way to extract the files. (can be done, cuz the phone can too)
Hi, I have linked the SecSettings.apk from stock 4.1.2 xxlsw.

Thank you very much! But i'm not missing "SecSettings.apk" i miss "Settings.apk". Don't you have one in your root folder?
There is no Settings.apk in any folders. Is your ROM definitely Stock Samsung 4.1.2?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I looked for SecSettings in my folder and i think i confused it with SecSettingsprovider..so maybe the settings app is just called secsettings (unlike many other phones) i'll try to install your apk!
I downloaded your application and it seems to be what I was looking for! But I can't install it in way! How do I install it?
Use a root explorer and copy it to /System/app and set permissions in the usual manner
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I moved the apk to system/app and set the permissions, then rebooted, but it seems that it doesn't work. I tried in many ways. I installed it from rom toolbox, from root explorer, from "system app installer", but despite every operation and installation gives me a succes message as response, nothing happens. There is the file in system app, but every attempt to open the settings fails with a force close and there is no icon in my app drawer.
Do you have the secsettings.odex in your /system/app?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No I don't have any SecSettings.odex, I only have apk, even after the reboot.
Copy both the SecSettings.apk from the previous link and the SecSettings.odex from this link, set permissions and reboot again.

It didn't work. I used every combination on this world for the permissions before rebooting (including rw-r--r-- and also rwxrwxrwx) but nothing happens, the app doesn't result to be installed. (I attached a screenshot of my file manager showing that the files actually are in the root folder)
Hmm.. I'm stumped then. I can only suggest you reflash your firmware

I just read on google news that a new update is starting to roll out for the s2..do you think updating will solve the problem? Either by using OTA (if it still works without settings) or kies..
First, why can I not find the AT&T bloatware apps in root explorer? I go to system apps and they are not there, I swore they were there before. Are they located somewhere else? I've even tried doing a search for AT&T and I get no results. Second is there a way to extract the LG G2 keyboard zip file on my phone and place it in a certain folder to get the keyboard without flashing through CWM or TWRP cause I get stuck at the logo after flashing it? Thanks

So what kernel are you using?
I am dowloading it right now! Does the sim working properly since there is difference in modem!
Finally installed it. All cm features are missing

Err....
Well, I can't say anything. I'm working on porting cm11 from the Note 2 LTE to the S3. If that works, I'm porting cm12 to the s3, hopefully.
Yeah it's an alpha build so the bells and whistles of cm features aren't available. It's basically just a working version of 5.0. As time goes on they will add the bells and whistles.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Free mobile app
Its actually an almost perfect build for me... Only issue is camera and contacts fc when a synced contact's name is more than one word.... Even had faster GPS lock than 4.4 roms...
Don't seem to miss cm features as I don't use much... Just probably on screen buttons and skip tracks with volume button is what I'm missing
Running this on my phone. It was kind of wonky at first but after 2-3 wipes/flashes this is the best ROM I have ever run on this phone.
If you get tons of force closes, no root, and can't seem to download anything wipe and re flash.
As of now everything is working for me(including the camera using nexus camera).

Test builds V4 is running great, ive been running it for 2 days and ive had 0 FC's! just camera doesnt work, but you can download an alternate camera from the play store (nexus camera or camera zoom FX works for me). All you have to do before flashing is modifying the "updater script", open and edit the updater script and just replace all "d2att" with "d2tmo", save changes. Do a clean flash. I use the usual apps (fb, tw, whatsapp, a couple basic games) and everything works well. I dont use any apps that use the camera (vine, instagram, etc) so I cant report on those. No need to flash a kernel or different radio.
V5 is working fine for me. Everything works except video recording(pictures work with Nexus Camera) and cast screen on Chromecast. I tried the fix for the Nexus 7 but it disconnects immediately.
I used es file manager changed all d2att to d2tmo and reziped the file and still won't flash. What am i doing wrong?

I tried editing the update script using root explorer, and it did the editing. however, when I moved/copy and paste the edited update script back to the Rom zip, it would move the original/unedited update script. So this is what I did: I extracted the update script and edited with root explorer, then I emailed the edited update script to myself, then I open the rom with 7-zip on my computer and replaced the original update script with the one I edited, saved the zip to my desktop. I then proceed to flash and it worked perfectly.

I rather not, for some reason the guy who put together the zip took down the thread and his account is suspended, who knows what happened. Its very easy to modify tho, give it a try.
i took a day or so by finally got my son s3 working
The current build is build 5 dated 11/25. It works better than build 4. You can use a few different cameras but stock camera still not working right. If you use Philz touch recovery you don't need to modify the script, it will flash just fine. It will say your phone is an i747 but that is just cosmetic it changes nothing with functionality like data or calls, etc. Because this is just a software rom and doesn't change anything hardware specific. Enjoy.

Where is the download link? I have been looking all over the place for CM12 on T999
I tried changing all the d2att to d2tmo and it is all changed but when I try to flash it, it gets a couple fail messages about mounting something and then I try to reboot it gets stuck in bootloop.
When I try to flash without changing the d2att it won't even flash.
Anyone got V5?
