Hi,
I just installed Vortex's Custom Rom but there are a couple of other apps that were on the stock version that I'd like to have, including swype. I got a copy of all the stock apps for .602 and swype is in there along with some other apps like DLNA, it has both and APK and the ODYK files. I've tried to install swype through the phone but it constantly crashes.
Can someone tell me how to install these apps back onto the custom rom?
Thanks.
You can get swype using the swype beta install... Google it

I rooted my Droid X (2.3.3/4.5.605) a few weeks ago and tried out a few different roms. I'm currently using Apex V4. Love it, but I like the stock text and email better. My question is how can I find these apks on my phone and install them on Apex? Since they were used on my phone with the stock gingerbread, and I did a bootstrap backup before I ever started messing around with other roms, shouldn't all the stock apk's be on it somewhere? If they're not accessible without doing a system recovery, does anyone have these available for download?

Hi,
I'm just trying to update my miui music player with the new ICS theme.. although it would seem that developers are releasing them as stand alone .apk's rather than a theme - this is fine if you don't have miui rom with the miui player installed as a system app.
But if you run a miui rom and have it installed as a system app the new ics miui music .apk wont install as it can't remove the original system app...
I've tried removing the original miui music system app with titanium backup and it boots into recovery, but signature verification fails when I disable this verification I have to boot back up to tell titanium to remove the system apk then it goes back to recovery and signature verification is reenabled by default - so stuck in a catch 22.
My whole phone is ics theme apart from the miui music.. can anyone advise what I can do to install the miui music ics themed apk?
Thanks guys.

Amazing. Not one answer. And here I thought the people at xda were supposed to be helpful
I'm just asking because since rooting and trying out CM7 and EB 2.3.7 last fall I have been using the Swype beta as mentioned.
Now that I've learned a bit more about how these devices and their ROMS work, I was just curious if anyone knows if the preinstalled Swype will work on a CM7-based ROM.
The reason I ask is that I'm getting sick of the bar for word suggestions in the Swype beta always staying there even after you've selected a word. I have all word-suggestion related settings disabled but it doesn't go away and the original version didn't leave it up.
Guess worst-case I could just use Titanium backup to backup and delete the beta, then pull the original version off my first backup of the OTA 2.3.3 update ROM and install it on EB 2.3.7 right?
not sure if the original will work but ive been using swype from here.. V5 beta not for galaxy nexus... some pretty cool ones and ive had no problems with it.

Theres a swipe restore apk out there that will install the original Swipe as long as you have your original backup on your phone

Yes, you just need the original .apk and the libSwypeCore.so file

Thank you!!
*edit found it*
libSwypeCore.2.29.71.20750.so found under sysem.ext3.tar under \system\lib
just in case anyone was wondering - this works just fine in ICS - yay no more bloody suggestion bar!
Hey guys
Current custom ROMs that are built on pure android firmware lack some important applications that are originally supported in i9003. So, I preferred to open this topic to discuss all features of i9003 that come pre installed in stock ROMs by Samsung.
So, I think these custom ROMs shall have:
1- FM Radio app.
2- SamsungApps.
3- Swype keyboard.
4- MyFiles.
5- "Write and go" and "Memo" apps.
Please mention other needed apps.
Thank you
They are removed for a reason . Most of the users dont like samsung bloatware (as its call it) . And ive personally have never used those mentioned by you. But you can use Root explorer anytime to push the apk's to system/app and use them.
Cheers !!
Yeah I know that fact
But do apps of the gingerbread version work fine on ICS? I did already extract them, but unfortunately, no ICS to test them

BTW, I do really extensively use them, especially swype, but maybe one can install swype from extracted apk.
Thanks.

Swype
I am all for Swype to be pre-installed in custom apps.
Swype is removed from most of the custom roms because of its large size that is 12 mb and it covers unnecessary space and most of the users did not want samsung apps thats why they are removed and if you want all these then use stock rom instead of custom rom and fm radio is present in most of the custom roms
12 MB is large size?? Anyways, although one can install swype beta from swype[dot]com, it is still preferred to integrate the one came with original i9003, as I think it is optimized, and is well localized, especially right to left languages. I love the "Go Keyboard" app, but still, current version has problems in T9.
Well, thank you for your assistance anyway

Have you tried to install the apks? If so what happens?

You can try pushing them to system/apps but I dont think they will run. If you want the stock apps stick with a stock ROM.
As i understand it...Stock apps are usually Odexed. Custom ROMs are De-odexed. Difference? Odex is the part loaded to the dalvik cache to help make the phone boot quicker. So the phone maker separates the APK into two files. The apk and odex. You cannot just run the file with the APK alone...you NEED the odex. A custom ROM would de-odex the files and they are combined into one. It WILL NOT run odex files. I have tried on a few ROMs on the bionic to get it to run stock apps in a custom rom if i included the odex. Still wouldn't work. If you can find someone to compile the APK and ODEX for you it may work.

Edit: plus many apps on this device like the weather clock are tied to touch wiz. You cannot use them outside of it. Even on another launcher with the stock ROM (nova [my fave], apex, go, etc)
If you want stock bloated apps use a touchwiz rom.
Good luck
