Hi all,
I'm trying to build the current source code for the android stock apps and install them to my Samsung Galaxy S I9000.
I've managed to compile the apps, signed and aligned them but when it comes to installation on the device I get a "Parse Error" (tried with launcher2).
I also tried copying the file to "/system/app" followed by a reboot, but no luck.
I successfully exchanged the gallery already so I assume the problem is
a) the fact that the I9000 doesn't have a launcher2 preinstalled so I can not simply swap out a apk file
b) the app installer checks the signature of the package (perhaps dependent on the package name)
c) it is generally forbidden to install apps under android package (the gallery has it's own package name)
d) a combination of the 3
I use a rooted stock Froyo ROM.
Does anybody have experience in installing self-made versions of the android stock apps on a stock ROM?
Thanks

Just installed the TemICS - UX 1.2 Rom, which is excellent, form the stock firmware. On stock Rom I used Samsung AllShare app all the time and would like to get it installed on the ICS Rom.
I tried use Titanium Back to restore - no good.
Tried downloading the dlna.apk and placing in the system\bin location and rebooting - still no luck
This there any other method to try to install the Samsung AllShare app ??
Samsung proprietary apps often require Samsung proprietary bits, like TouchWiz. If you can't use the standard UI or adb/shell package manager techniques to install, you may be out of luck.
Watch your logcat and you may see what you are missing.
I found this when I was installing apps before having the gapps installed:
07-08 15:43:40.259: E/PackageManager(249): Package com.mobiata.flighttrack requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps; failing!
07-08 15:43:40.259: W/PackageManager(249): Package couldn’t be installed in /data/app/com.mobiata.flighttrack-1.apk
Once I knew what to look for, the results for GB Memo.apk made it clear I was out of luck on a non-Samsung ROM.
Hello I had a question about replacing the download manager on the stock samsung rom with the one from cyanogenmod in an effort to use stock apps. I am indeed rooted, and I have copied both files from priv-app and app directories to their designated locations and also set their permissions to rw-r-r. However, unlike other apps i've installed just fine using this method such as lockclock and gallery, these apps dont appear to be installed after doing this. Are their other dependencies I might be missing that are preventing this from working?
I am on the 4.4.2 stock samsung rom and I am trying to use apps from the m7 cm 11 build based on 4.4.2 as well.
bumping my own thread, if its a simple no you cant no biggie XD
so recently I accidentally wiped everything on my phone except TWRP. Then I managed to boot up the phone with liquid remix installed with android 9.0 and now my phone is missing the Samsung apps (which I want on my phone) how can I get them back is there a flashable file or any installable pack I really want them back
so if someone can help please tell me what to do I will really appreciate it
Aosp based roms and Samsung apps usually don't mix very well.
You could backup your Samsung apps using Titanium backup, then try to install them one by one in your android 9.
You could also Google for a site that has Samsung apps apk's.
Don't expect much success ?

I have the APK s I just can't download them to my device if you know how to install them can you help me or redirect me to someone else that knows what to do
I suppose you've enabled install apps from unknown sources in settings.
Try to install as you would any apk, i.e. open in file explorer.
As mentioned before, don't expect them to install anyway (maybe 1 out of 20??); most are not compatible with aosp roms.
For your aosp custom rom - look for similar gapps or apps from the app store or XDA.
After I installed CM 11 ROM; I wanted to install stock apps. But I couldn't. Then I downloaded SM-G318H firmware file and extracted it's apks and install them. But they didn't installed. When I searched on web, I couldn't find answer either. So I tried to deodex and install it.
But also couldn't. So can anyone tell me what to do (I wanted to install stock apps; Including TouchWiz and other important apps)
(The thing is I want to make firmware file like an original KitKat firmware)
Hello, I am currently making a few software modifications on my rooted Galaxy S9 on which I installed Noble ROM from AlexisXDA to be able to use one ui 4.1 with android 12. Now I’m trying to install One UI 5 apps on it, so I already installed Samsung Messages, Contacts, Phone dialer and Gallery as system apps using Lucky Patcher and everything worked as expected, and these apps simply replaced the old ones. Though, now I am struggling to install One UI 5 files app (aka Samsung My Files 14.x). This app is only supposed to be compatible with android 12L and more recent, but I managed to change the min SDK requirement to make it run on android 12. After I changed the min SDK I installed it as system app using Lucky Patcher and now everything is working until I long press a file which makes the app crash. Digging into android files, I noticed in the system/priv-app folder that the original version of MyFiles was still installed and I can’t delete it. Second thing I noticed, in the original MyFiles folder (in private app) there’s a file with the same name as the apk but the extension .prof is added next to it. I don’t know what this file is but I’m pretty sure this is what makes the original version work fine. So, can anyone tell me what this prof file is, and how I could make one for my custom My Files App please ?
Only for clarity:
Apps stored in /system/app are APKs what are indispensable part of Android OS - user apps has nothing to do there
whereas
apps stored in /system/priv-apps are APKs to be granted system permissions, regardless of the app signature: they at any time can get removed - mostly without any harm but requires Android is got rooted

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, if I understand it correctly it means my version of the app gets rejected every time by the priv-app folder right ? Unlike the preinstalled My Files app which is granted system permissions ?
