How do I change phone.apk

I have flashed Darky's 7.7 for the captivate (awsome rom), and I would like the original phone app back. The rom has the phone app with the video call buttons and I would like to have it without.
I realize this is because it is based on a I-9000 rom, but any help would be appreciated.

What u do is download another rom where u like the phone app. Then put that file on ur sd card.
Next get rootexplorer and change the top to r/w.
Finnally find the phone file that u just put on ur sd card and copy/move it to /system/app. It will ask to overwrite, just say yes.

Thanks, do I just use Phone.apk or Phone_Util.apk and PhoneErrService.apk.
Thanks again.

Just use phone.apk
Sent from my Rogers Captivate using XDA app

Yup, cant get that to work, just a couple things force close and the same dialer remains. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

The only thing I can think of is try new phone.apk, phone utilities.apk and phone error(something).apk

I think I might have to make a update.zip and install with clockwork recovery.

Pretty sure you're also going to need DialerTabActivity.apk for this to work properly.
Use caution though, I got my phone stuck in a bootloop trying to do this exact same thing and ended up having to re-flash the ROM.

I'll try that tonight when I get home from work.

The keypad is in DialerTabActivity.apk. You'll want to follow the same steps above to copy that over the current DialerTabActivity.apk in /system/app/. The Phone.apk controls the screen that comes up when someone calls in or when you're in a call.

Hope noone minds unburying the thread. Is phone replacement a way to fix the problem with the phone app losing phone call even when I press home button?
I am not sure if this is the rooting of my nomu s10 that did that, but otherwise, the apps are working fine.
Thanks.

[Q] (Q) ICBINB Rom Stock dialer

First of all I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to dsexton702 and team Acid for this wonderful rom. Everything about this rom is amazingly fast. Thank you guys. Anyway my question is "is there any way I can change to a stock phone dialer on this rom?"

Yes, just grab the DialerTabActivity.apk in system apps from another rom and over right it using root explorer or whatever you use... i had no problem with it when i did this (just know to do this at your own risk) i used the dialer from audiophile and put it on gs4g. just in case make sure you back up your rom before you do this.

Thank you so much jdubb1106.

I think there's also a dialer mod somewhere in the bible. I think it was the Xtreme Dialer.

Yep, the extreme dialers work fine with it.

I did that and started getting Force Closes every time I tried to make or answer a call, even after rebooting. Ended up having to restore my backup rom. Not sure why, but next time, I think I'll try to push the apps into the zip file before flashing the ROM.
and when I restored my old KD ROM, it left the bali3.3 kernel and red CWM, which is nice.

This rom does not have installed email.apk as that of the KF2, since I can obtain it?

Some guide?

Try deleting the original file in /system/app first, then moving over the themed one.

nevermind..i extracted the original dialertabactivity.apk from ICBINB into system/app and it fixed my dialer..but does anyone have any idea how to install the blue one from Extreme mods..or have a link to a working one? thx.

Replace it and make sure permissions are set as rw/r/r

I believe it's only for Froyo. GDofWR420 also said the same. I've tried that initially, but that screwed up my whole calling. I couldn't receive calls after that, but I was able to call out.
Then again, I could narrow that down to either (1) my Froyo data restore or (2) replacing the dialer.
Let me know how that works for you.

I did that still could not requested the launched activity..i must be pointing it to the wrong short cut or something..this is really wierd it should work..any other ideas.

ok i did rw/r/r..on the original dialertabactivity.apk for icbinbkh2 and it is still not working...says the same thing..

the main issue is.i dont even see phone in my applications..when i tried to replace that dialertabactivity.apk..that messed it up to where ic ant even get the originial icbinb dialertabactivity.apk to work and atleast get a stock dialer for now..any ideas devs?

You're right, it's Froyo KD1 only. From the post:

Froyo and GB mods aren't compatible. Even mods between different revisions of Froyo and GB aren't compatible. Find the original dialer file somewhere so you can get your dialer back. Extract it from ICBINB KH2 if you have to. Should be under /system/app in the zip file.

Unfortunately, that doesn't even help it. You have to reflash KH2 again. Make sure you don't do an advanced data restore either. That'll restore the messed up phone.apk and dialertabactivity.apk. Use Titanium. FBis251 and I have tested that out and it works perfectly fine for user apps.

It should be fine to do an advance restore if he didn't make a backup after he messed up the dialer. But I would first try to push a gb dialer then fix permissions.

Ah, right, I forgot about him possibly making a previous backup. As long as it's not a Froyo backup, it'll be fine.
However, pushing the GB dialer and fixing permissions won't fix the problem. I've practically tried all of the simple methods to fix it.

Unfortunately I did not make a backup...using titanium backup....is reflashing the only way...I tried the Paul Diddy dial,with replace and fix permissions still did not work and thats for gingerbread...the stock gingrrbread dialer fromkh2 also did not work

I had the same issue yesterday and spent all last night trying the same thing you did. I had to odin back to T959VUVKG4 and started over. Do not install [THEME] [CWM] KG6, KH1, KH2 FEELING BLUE - Overscroll Glow-CRT on-off. UPDATED 8/17 on GB it will mess up the dialer.

Sorry to hear that man. Your best bet is just to reflash and restore backups with Titanium instead. Start with a KC1 clean slate, just to be safe. Then flash ICBINB KH2 again from there.

Easily fix the S Note force close problem in JB ROMS. Simple Method

I found a way to easily fix the S Note issue on our device after flashing the 'leaked' JB.
I just thought I should start a new thread since the answer to this question is mostly buried deep down in long threads and it's difficult combing through a lot of them.
This work here is NOT mine. I'm just putting it up here. It was XDA users lee yun khong and nokiamodeln91 who drew my attention to a zip file uploaded by XDA user vijai2011 .
Many thanks to them.

So this is how I fixed it on my phone. Tried it on Classic Rom and Rocket Rom and it worked so I believe it will work on the others.
1) Download the zip file, extract them and put them on your SD card.
2) Uninstall S Note from your device.
3) Locate and install the two apks in the zip file as normal apks.
4) That is it. S Note should work now. You would also see the widget in the widget drawer

Does it enable productivity tools? I got S-Note working a while ago but if this enables the use of productivity tools it will be great.

When I was using 4.1.1 XXLS2, SNote worked but productivity tools was grayed me. No matter how I followed the instructions on the numerous threads I found, not able to enable the tools. Now on Bangsti's 4.1.2 XXLS7 and SNote works with productivity tools enabled. I did the three wipes plus format preload before I flashed XXLS7 following instructions stated in OP of the rom thread.
You can remove all instances of SNote and SMemo using Titanium then run com.sec.android.app.snotebook-1.apk found in /data/app. Hope this helps.

sttill not working..It just crashes as you start it and and phone vibrates for less than a second and i get the message 'unfortunately it stopped workin'...Help i want SNote back!

Mmm if you did exactly as I wrote then I do not know why it is not working. However, the latest leak (XXLS7) already has that problem fixed. Plus productivity tool works now. So I recommend you download and flash any of the ROMs.
Cheers.

I have the latest leak (XXLS7) installed and I have the same issue, SNote crashes. Tried uninstall and install back, but no luck.

I read you need to format "Preload" from within CWM before installing the ROM.

Reboot into recovery (Im sure you are on a safe kernel) wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache. Use MD5 to check if youve downloaded the full ROM, now install. I think it will automatically reboot. Set the device up and let it settle. It should work!

Unfortunatelly not work.

Exactly what happen to me. First it vibrates once (I knew it when it vibrates, it would start), the it vibrates twice. After that, Unfortunately it stopped working. I've tried uninstall and reinstall, like you said, but still no luck. I tried restore from titanium, no luck either. Tried restoring S choice, it went spinning and spinning (waited for about 20mins). Now i have out of idea.

That is rather unfortunate. But I suggest you download any of the latest leaked ROMs in the Android Development Section of the Galaxy Note forum. For that one, the S Note force close is fixed for EVERYONE. Also, the Productivity Tools works.
So please download any of the ROMs (XXLS7) and let's see what happens..
Cheers.

Camera App keeps crashing, error displayed

For some reason the Camera app on my galaxy 2 10.1 keeps throwing an error when I try to launch it.
It says can't connect to camera and I just get to close the APP.
I tried rebooting the tablet - it didn't help. Also tried clearing the cache for the APP and it didn't make a difference.
Running SlimKat rom 4.4.4.
Can someone shed some light for me on how to fix this issue?

Sometimes (this worked on a different ROM for the 7 inch version, but its worth trying) installing Google camera to system/app and removing stick camera works (always nandroid backup first so if something goes wrong you dont have to reflash.)

Clean flash Kitkat, can't recall if the camera worked or not when I first flashed it but I'm pretty sure it did. So it just randomly stopped.
Where does one obtain Google Camera? Right in the playstore?
And can I just uninstall the stock Camera app using the Dev tools of the rom?

Yes, google camera is in the play store. It actually probably does not need to be installed as a system app. Idk what tools are in SlimKat ATM but I've always just gone into es file explorer as root or used root explorer, mounted / and /system as R/W and deleted the camera apk from /system/app. Then just wipe cache and Dalvik in recovery and reboot. This may or may not fix the problem, but it worked for me. Again, make a backup first.

Don't install it with package installer. If you installed it from the Play Store, cut the apk from /data/app and move it to /system/app and change the permissions to the same as the other apps in folder. Google camera shouldn't matter though.

google camera is not compatible with our tabs....even if you do get it installed its pretty useless IMO. Grab your ROM zip and go into it and find your camera.apk. unzip it to your sd card and then go back in and long press it and reinstall it. It may (did for me) work that way. If not try another (different) ROM. Grab zip file go in and find the camera apk under apps, unzip and then reinstall. NOTE: for me, I had to go into Titanium and completely remove the camera app that i had and then do the above procedure. I trial and errored it and it worked for me. Finally
