[Q] Where can I download stock apps for custom roms?

Hello,
I have noticed some of the custom roms don't have all the stock apps. Is there a way or a link to download certain stock apps such as Calculator, Calendar, Voice Recorder, etc.
Thanks

This list was sent to me the other day to help me weed out apps and apks that I don't want. But it also has a link where you can download the apk files as well. Hope it helps.

Drop them in /system/app. In Root Explorer, make sure the OWNER is set to root for both dropdowns, and also change the permissions on them to the same as one of your APKs already in /system/app. I can't remember if you have to install them the normal way or not - I think a reboot is all you need.

That list needs to be updated for our S2. There are things like
DMSForwarding
DMSLawmo
GBA Service
Would love to know what those are for.

[HOW TO] Deodexing the note2 international version

EDIT* After trying for so much on learning how to deodex a rom I finally found the way to do it. I take NO credit for what I'm going to post. i Found this tutorial browsing and searching online for a while and thanks to WANAM for telling me he uses dsinxda to deodex his roms. and DSIXDA for making the tool. Im just going to post the steps I did in order to get my stock rom deodexed. If I make a mistake or use wrong any term please forgive me I'm learning as you are. I just want to help you guys to be able to deodex your rom. I'M NOT GOING TO POST DOWNLOAD LINKS, JUST THE THREADS WHERE YOU NEED TO GO AND DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING FOR YOURSELF. (This to avoid issues with OP of other threads)
DOWNLOAD YOUR STOCK ROM IN A FORMAT TO BE FLASHED BY ODIN. GO TO http://sammobile.com and download your rom. After you have it REMOVE the .md5 at the end. Leave it as .tar
First of all you need to have java, android SDK installed and adb. for this FIRST OF ALL go here and follow the steps
STEP 1 http://www.support-4-you.com/main/i...d-adb-installation&catid=40:how-tos&Itemid=57
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/downloading-and-installing-the-java-development-ki.html
Afterwards go here and read a little bit. It will give you an overall of what you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939300 (Yeah I now is for the s3 BUT BELIEVE ME IT WORKS) leave it open just in case.
then visit this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 and READ IT!
-Download the kitchen and afterward go to post number 3 to install it, I used the option number one for windows 7. i downloaded dsixda_cygwin_install.zip. If you have other operating system I honestly don't know how to do it.
Also click where it says ''RECOMMENDED: Click here for a pictorial guide to assist you with the Cygwin install (thanks to carl1961).'', it will give you a tutorial on how to install the kitchen. Be patient. sometimes you make the steps and it seems is not doing anything, but its working it's just slow.
follow that pic guide on how to install and when you're setting up your rom when it opens the ext2explore tool you dont see your system.img close the kitchen and delete the working folder and start again setting it up and it will work. (at least for me, the 1st time i had no ext4_system.img, the second time I did)
VERY IMPORTANT. After you extract the system, EXTRACT THE CSC If not your rom WON'T WORK.
(Diskinternals linux reader is found on the kitchen folder, then tools. FYI)
ok. after you have Installed the kitchen and the working folder is ready
go to the working folder and delete ext4_system.img from system folder if there is any. Then
-Choose option 0- Advanced Options
-Then choose option 11 Deodex files in your rom
-Then ''bb'' IF YOU WANT
-Then ''v'' and set android level to 16
-then option ''b'' and sit back and wait.
-Then option ''x'' when it's done
-Choose option 99 and follow the steps. remember to zipalign the apps and sign your rom, then change the name of the rom if you want.
- I did not rooted my rom. i use the method 2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 to root it aftwerwards. :fingers-crossed:
FINAL STEP! MANDATORY! PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF THIS POST HELPED YOU! :good: :victory: :highfive:
Then copy the rom to your external sd and wipe data, cache , dalvik and go to mount and storage and format system.
go back and flash rom from external sd.
:angel: there you go, your deodexed rom! :fingers-crossed:
I hope this have been helpfull

Hi I have a stick rom that is deodexed and I use this works like a charm

Stock XL ROM
Does anyone have a stock XL ROM (if it is legal to have and provide one)? Can they provide it to me?
I installed gapps temporarily on my XL in order to active Google Play Services and download my purchased apps. Next, I tried to uninstall gapps, and find it has infiltrated my system to such an extent that I don't know how to get rid of it.
I wish I had made a backup using TWRP before installing gapps!

cannot download ROM
Hello,
I am trying to download this ROM but there's an error on Mega. I have KitSlim AMG, I know what I have to do to install this ROM, I have the tools but not so much luck with downloading this ROM to install it.
Do you have another link for download? Mega says error ...
Thank you in advance.

This rom is the best

Few Questions:
Is this ROM already Deodexed?
Do I still need Super User for this ROM?
I have a prob with 4k(Not working) and Portrait Touch(Lacks the other apps it came from)
is this normal?

Baseband
Hello friends, it is extracted from the new FW last baseband with the number 51, and create it as a Flash file? It would have helped me if it could jit.Extract file does not exist? Thank you.

Still download link not working...

MyXperia
I installed the ROM and was amazed - it works perfectly.
UNTIL I activated MyXperia (Tracking Phone etc). The device got stuck and was now placed in a bootloop...
Is there a fix for this? Maybe this is a little Bug
Allready flashed it again so it is working again.

Cannot add Google Account to Contacts
Hello guys, I have a very strange problem...
I can add a Google account on first startup after installing this ROM, setup sync, everything seems to be fine, some apps start to update...thats all good...Gmail works, Google Play works... But, when I start contacts app or go to contacts from dialer, I can see no contacts there, and there is only option to add a Exchange account, but not Google account... Filters are set correctly... It is really strange and I have never seen anything like this before... I even tried a third party contacts app from Google Play, but the options were the same... My previous ROM was AOKP, I installed stock 108 ROM using Flashtool, then rooted, then flashed Recovery, then installed this, with of course full wipe and everything. Didnt find any other issue, everything is fast, smooth, and working fine... Except I cannot call to anyone because I dont have any numbers...
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you!

Contacts again!
Ok, so it took one night without sleep, but I seem to find the reason... First a question: What exactly is, or more specifically is NOT in the ROM if I choose to remove bloatware during the instalation? Because, if I choose not to remove it, contacts work... If I choose to remove it, contacts just won't work. Again, any clarification from someone who can explain this is welcome...
Thank you!

of course, because in the debloating script there are two entries:
googlecontactssyncadapter.apk
googlecalendarsyncadapter.apk
Debloat your ROM with the script, reboot, put both attached apk´s into /system/app folder, set permission to rw-r-r and reboot.

Thank you for the info, I'm just curious, why are these two apk files removed by the script? They look pretty useful to me...? Also is there any other surprise to look for if I choose to debloat the ROM? Right now I am running "bloated" version, and so far I am happy with it, so I am not sure if its worth it... What is the main advantage? (yea, I know - "if you have no idea what it does, then you probably don't need it")
There doesn't seem to be a big difference in internal storage space either...
Thanks again

RW to system?
I tried to install debloated ROM and then copy the two apk files to system/app, but I wasnt able to get write permission, despite having root access. Digging up some info, I found out that some kernels might be locked to write to system folder despite being rooted. Can this be the case? In any case, I probably wont be poking my nose into that again, but I just would like to know for future. Thank you!
EDIT: Nevermind, found this, which makes remount possible...

[tool]Installer for xposedLG G2[tool]unofficial

A small tool which makes the installation of xposed an easy process.
-I support only 5.0.x stock. If ot works on other versions - good.
*** I am NOT the author of xposed ***
The XPOSED AUTHORS original thread is here
make sure you thak to @rovo89 for xposed and his hard work.
--IF anyone else is to be added to the xposed dev list please pm me so I WILL add it. Thank you---
I'm just putting everything together so you can install it via 1 click
What does this tool do ?
BUTTON "INSTALL"
-Installs the complete xposed which includes the installer which is also copyrighted by it's authors
-makes backup of LG crucial files which would force close if we don't remove them (for now)
-deletes the mentioned files (smartcover, lgweather)
BUTTON "COMPLETE UNINSTALL"
-removes the complete package of xposed
-restores LG files (smartcover and lgweather)
-makes sure the permissions are the right one
The 3 dot menu contains:
"ABOUT" ---- Please read this...you need to read this as it's important
"DONATE" ---- support the further development etc
"EXIT" ---- EXITS the app
"UNINSTALL" --- This uninstall is only for those who have manually frozen the files and just want to uninstall xposed so they can unfreeze the apps later.
Req: a rooted LG G2 and TWRP installed.
An alternate build will also contain the files for those who just deleted the files and now want them back.
Please read this thoroughly so later there are no headbangs..

Haha...yeah...but it helps more than you know...this tool will probably prevent at least 100 noobish help i installed xposed and everything force close threads and posts

thanks @bender_007

Mate, I have to ask why. This is such a simple process if you have root, changing the update script and binary you open a new can for bugs... what's wrong with the official zips?

So is this not supported by non stock ROMs?

nice tool. altough I allready installed xposed manually an frozen the apps it will be usefull for unistall process if needed.

FYI do not try without custom recovery. I don't know wtf I was thinking, but I tried without custom recovery. Failed to completely install, but it booted up again. Then tried to uninstall whatever may have installed, rebooted. BRICKED. TOTing back lol. I am such an idiot sometimes.

I had smartcover and lgweather force closes on ls980. I didn't realize it happened to other variants! Thanks this is a nice tool!

The Play Store Link does not indicate a need for TWRP. Is that just an oversight, or does that version not require it. Rather be safe than sorry.

You need TWRP. I bricked my phone and had to tot back. Make sure you have custom recovery.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app

It does require twrp. Playstore rejected the app 3 times so I had to change text not to include some brands etc.

I know it seems I'm beating a dead horse but, any luck on a non recovery version yet? My tablet feels lonely without xposed!

When it's on testing I will send it to you . But get also a kdz of your system os if needed.

Hi, a silly question if I have uninstalled LGSmartCover and theses kind of LG apps that will cause FC, there will be some problem like the installator crashing because can't find LGSmartCover and lead to a bad installation....?
