Hi guys, i just have recently downgraded my ics to gb rom rooted. I missed some of the cool built-in apps that it has on ics compare to gb. Such as Gallery, Music, sms, dialer and browser. Is it possible to extract it from ics rom and replace it with my current ones? if not, could you recommend me some apps that i could get it over with? i mean i want to save some space(ram) thats all and make it look cool.

You could always put ICS back on the device and extract the APK using ADB (install QtADB, it's easier to use). The thing is : it probably won't work. Most apps "built for ICS" depends on libraries that are simply not there in previous version of the os. I know the Music app can be installed (google it) but I'm pretty sure the dialer and sms cannot.
thank you! thats all i needed to hear

I just installed the new EP4 Debloated, Deodexed, and Rooted ROM and I don't have the TouchWiz Task Manager. I'm wondering if someone can post the APK for it.
I take a look after I get off work and see if I can find it.
One of the roms I've ran had a link with all the Samsung Widgets they took out. I wanna say it was in there. But it was listed on the first post. May browse thru all the rom OP's and look for the download
maybe this is it. just unzip and install apk
Edit......I'm pretty sure this is it
Somebody downloaded it......was that it

It worked for me, thanks
dont install it, just place it in /system/app
whoever debloated took it out. always better to use a bloated and use titanium to debloat yourself.

Why is it "always better"??
I recently installed the debloated/deodexed version of the latest leak and I love it.
That task manager was really the only thing I missed and it took about 10 seconds to install it.

I used the term always better in the sense that you have full control over what stays and what doesn't. Debloated roms are great, but they aren't always a reflection of what a user truly wants or may need from a rom.
Anyone get this to work with ics? It's the only thing I miss from touchwiz.
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

How about the stock music app? Not really diggin the google one..
Thanks!
I recently installed a custom ROM, without thinking I would need some kind of note app. Prior to this I did try several apps from the store, none to my liking. I did however think the stock app that came with the phone worked just perfectly. Problem is I do not know the name of it, thus can not see if it is available at the store.
I don't think that Memo app you are talking about is in Google Play, since it is samsung stock app.
I liked that app too, so I extracted it from stock GB rom and copied into system app folder in custom rom.
Not sure It is gonna work on ICS or JB roms, but It works perfectly fine on custom GB roms.

Hi, cause I didn't want to wait for an official JB update, I recently installed "SuperXE" AOSP Rom, JB 4.2.1. It's very nice, but i really need an app that can handle office document formats, especially those of MSO. As my phone originally came with "Polaris Office", I'd like to continue using this app -- is this possible?
Just putting the apk from stock HTC ICS in /system/app doesn't do anything. It's possible to install it normally, but then it crashes when I try to launch it. Didn't have the time to check logcat for that so far, but maybe someone can tell me if this ist just impossible to do OR what I'm missing, thanks!

probably it is compatible for sense based roms if i am not wrong
Didn't expect it to require Sense, because it's a "standard" app also available for other phones. But never mind that, just read somewhere else that it isn't compatible with JB at all.
The originally included game "Teeter" won't work on JB AOSP either, but as I don't find this version in the store, I guess missing Sense could be the problem in THIS case, right? It won't even install normally (e.g. clicking on the APK in file explorer). It's a game, so, not important at all -- but it was nice
Hi, I'm running CM10.0 (4.1.2) on my t989. I have an old galaxy discover that is running 4.0.4, so I was happy to find that things like messaging and contacts are the same as the discover. The version of 4.0.4 that came stock on the t989 , even though is the same ICS version of android as the discover had a different messaging app, different contact app, and a few other differences (clock, gallery, etc) while I like the messaging app and people app from the discover 4.0.4 better, I liked the clock and gallery from the t989 version of 4.0.4 better. I have the flashable zip for the t989 4.0.4. My question is, can I extract the app's from that zip file for things like clock and gallery, on a pc, or using an app like apk extractor without having that ROM running? I know I can extract system apps from a running ROM e.g. I can extract messaging apk off of cm10.0 (currently running) etc, but I'd like to extract the clock and gallery app from the t989 stock 4.0.4 zip file and install them on cm10.0. Even if I manage to find/extract these apk's and install them will they even run? The clock app on the stock t989 allows you to set your alarm from any mp3 on your phone, while the one from stock discover (same as cm10) forces you to set whatever mp3 you want as alarm, as a phone ringtone first. Does any one of you fine developers know a way of accomplishing the extraction of apks from flashable ROM zips
