[Q] Take an app from a custom rom - General Questions and Answers

Hi!
I used for a couple of week a custom rom, the Galnet Miui.
Now I like to try an other rom, but I'd like to keep the Galnet's dialer and browser.
How can I get that apps? Is it easy?
Can I just copy the .apk in system/app in the zipped rom from a zip file to other?
And again... the browser is easy... browser.apk... but how can I recognize the dialer?
Thank you all!

Yes copy the apk to system/app, backup First cause the apk may not work properly, that's why I say backup, experiment all you want but once something goes wrong you have a backup plan , so just get the apk you want and push to system/app and install
NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"

Thank you.
But what's the name of the dialer's apk?

make a backup of whole system folder, then you can test one by one =) DialerTabActivity may be?

Framework files created by kitchen

If you upload the framework and twframework files to the kitchen to create a new battery icon, for example, are those newly created apk files going to work with that same ROM if you reinstall that same ROM after using another ROM?
Just wondering if you have to get a new zip file from the kitchen each time you go back and install a ROM you may have had before the current ROM you may be running.

Ahh, the anwser to the first question would be Yes.
The answer to the second non-question would be No.
Simpler: Install "ABC Rom" flash changes made from "ABC Rom" framework files.
Thanks, TG.
Tired of trying out a new ROM, going back to the other ROM and re-creating the ZIP file all over again.

Here's an easier way to go back: Before flashing a different Rom, while in Red Recovery, make a backup.
That way all you have to do is run Restore from recovery. It will automatically name the backup by the date.
I then use root explorer and rename it to the rom that you were using.
Then when I have the time, I'll copy the backups to my external SD card and to my computer.
There you go. No more reinstalls. Just remember to back up your contacts or you'll wind up with the list from when you backed up last.

[Q] Rom installed without the phone app, help please?

downloaded and installed latest build of illusion ROM.
its fantastic but i am missing the phone app.
its listed in system/app.
im able to make calls from the people app and from messaging.
I used ES explorer to get to System/app to delete phone.apk and replace it with a different one but it would nto allow me to overwrite or delete the apk.
id really like to try this ROM, anybody got any help?
in the meantime the only other idea i have is to reflash AOKP and see if it comes up.
going to use the same Gapps (justinbean inverted) and see if it changes anything.
any help appreciated.

[Q] CM Messaging .apk? [SOLVED]

Does anyone have a standaole Cyanogenmod Messaging apk I can push to /system/app or install on another ROM? I looked in the latest nightly zip, and did not find an Mms.apk. I also flashed the ROM just to make sure it was there, and yes it was. I also looked inside the /system/app folder on my phone after it installed, and I did not see an Mms.apk. Where is it stored?
Found it!
It's located in system/priv-app. No idea when/why it moved there. Also, if you flash the Paranoid Android GAPPS package (first one with everything), it automatically removes the AOSP/CM Mms.apk included. Hope this helps! Going to write a small tutorial as to how to avoid this problem in the future.

Need stock aosp sms/mms apk.

Hello! I can't find default aosp sms/mms app and I really can't get used to Hangouts. Could anybody please send links to flashable zip or apk? I can't find it anywhere. Br
Hi,
Try this one in attachment. Put it in /system/priv-app, set the correct permissions like the other system apps and reboot.
Make a nandroid backup first, just in case... But I'm not sure it will work just as this, I don't know why :laugh: ... Try and see.
EDIT: attached a flashable zip.

Porting these to a new phone is hard so take the android version you have and look for other samsung roms of the same version with the memo apk then install that apk and restore the data. A more experienced dev could tell you exactly what to do.

Can only know if you try.
The depenencies on these apks are on the touchwiz framework and stuff like that.
As long as the rom you take it from is a touchwiz samsung rom of the same version of android and the rom you put it on has the touchwiz framework then your fine but try it first.
If all else fails then you could be hacker and decompress the titanium backup zip file for your memo data and use an sqlite editor from the play store to see if you can read the memos that you left.
Or after that you could load the original rom up again and restore it on that or restore it on another of the same rom.(Another phone maybe)

i hope that the different framework between two roms is the problem...
for now i extract the db from titanium backup and reimport to colornote (from google play).
Thanks for your help
