Most likely, I didn't sign any of them, assuming people would push them through ADB. =P

also, do you have to push "people" and "dialer" together since they both are closely linked? also, i think even if you push them, if they are not signed they might not install. I am a total noob, but that was my issue when i modded some apk's etc

You don't need to sign them if you push through adb. I pushed them all to my phone before posting. And no, you don't have to push them together, one after another is fine as they are replacing the app instantly.

Mms up for you mang.

I originally was not planning on making zips of these, as they are just one app, and everyone here IMO SHOULD know adb. It's an essential tool for having a phone thats hacked. However, I know some people might want this and might pass it up due to the fact that they don't want to learn. So here ya go. This post will contain ZIP's and will be linked in the OP. I'll update as I make them. I will not be including these in the OP to avoid clutter.

I have no problem taking any requests of anything any of you guys want. If its something I don't have, I just need the apk. Provides a nice break from the studies =P

P.S. would these remove any theming already there like the dialer and so forth.

[APP] Google Talk from 2.3.4 extracted: NOT WORKING, Help Needed!

Hi everyone,
I downloaded the extracted .apk from latest Google Android release 2.3.4
The .apk is atached below.
I have had no success in installing the app on my 2.3.3 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S. I tried pushing it to /system/app via Root Explorer, but once you try to install package it just doesn't install by saying "Aplication not installed".
Im no dev or whatsoever,so I would encourage anyone who could help to make it work on 2.3.3, Google stated in Google Mobile Blog that Google Talk with Video Chat will be for 2.3+ devices, so it "should" work on 2.3.3.
Any help is appreciated! Share your thoughts!

Try pushing it into system/app and then change permissions. Reboot and post result.

I doubt that it will work until you upgrade the OS version to 2.3.4, it might be integrated with os changes.

That was my first thought too, but after downloading the entire update it looks like that might not be the case. There aren't a ton of changes in there, and only two updated system apps. One of which is gtalk, the other is an nfc app(for supported devices obviously). I haven't looked through anything else yet(I'm slacking off enough at work as it is), but it would appear the changes are minimal.
Edit: found a new libtalk_ini.so file in /system/lib/
That may help? Anybody have time to try?

I really wish I knew how to do this stuff. I would love to give it a try but I'm so lost! Time to do some reading! LOL

The manifest for this apk says the target and minimum sdk version is 10, which is 2.3.3....so there's a good chance that after some deodexing and supporting files this will work no problemo

That's the key. It should work on 2.3+ as stated by Google, so I think i'ts up to deodexing and adding the proper files. Sure someone experienced can do it

Generally, yes.

I got it to run, but I can't tell how to start a video chat. I pushed the apk, and odex file to the system/app directory and the jnk.so file to the system lib directory. Ran Talk and it opened fine...
HTC Hero with Cyanogen 7.0.2

Btw, its very possibly its simply running the standard install of Talk.apk instead of Talk2.apk... I'll try removing the Talk.apk...
-- Confirmed. I removed the Talk.apk from the system/app/ folder... lost my Talk icon in the launcher. Rebooting; maybe it will showup after reboot.
-- Ok, now I'm not completely convinced that you can get rid of Talk.apk when you push Talk2.apk. They both may have to be there.

Stock ICS Keyboard

Having salvaged the apk files from the Galaxy Nexus ROM and the necessary lib from the apks themselves, I thought I'd share this find of mine. Sure, there are ICS-like keyboards on Google Play, but this is the genuine deal for all of you, whose ICS ROM doesn't include the stock keyboard (TouchWiz based ROMs, for one).
How to install via adb:
adb remount
adb push LatinImeGoogle.apk /system/app
adb push LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk /system/app
adb shell mv /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so.old
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Thanks! Was looking everywhere for this. I didn't like the ones in playstore. One of them is actually really good, but doesn't have my other language (Arabic).
Stock ICS keyboard is my favorite keyboard on all smartphones. Switched from GNexus to SGS3 and was very disappointed by all keyboards I tried, until now that is.
Lots lots of thanks!

Nice! I hope this is better than the one I already bought, it was only $1 so its alright. We'll see. Thank you

Only ICS ?

Yes, I'm afraid. There are various ports for Gingerbread on Google Play, though.

tried to install on htc evo 4g running cm9 but when i go to messaging app and click on the symbol at bottom to type new message it says Unfortunately, Android Keyboard has stopped! What do i need to do or is this not compatible with the the og evo on cm9? Thanks

Have you guys ever tried the hackers keyboard? I use Swype, so the ICS keyboard as a daily wouldn't work, but I need something in the terminal. I used to switch to the AOSP keyboard, but when I find this one, I thought it to be more flexible in allowing additional characters, ctrl, alt, etc.
Just curious on what you thought...
I am not sure if I got it in the market, but I think so.

It's a hit-or-miss, really. I extracted the needed lib, but as for the other dependencies - I'm not that much of a dev to find out.

You have the Samsung keyboard files?
Sent from my aokp_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2

Thanks the keyboard work here really good (ICS ST15i)
Just curious: what have in this libjni_latinime.so? All android, I guess, already have this, and I keep my stock, just want to know if this is a kind of library with a lot of supported languages, better than I or we have already...

I cannot thank you enough for this!! The stock ICS keyboard is great and Motorola saw fit to replace it with their "large key" version of it on the recent Droid RAZR ICS update.
Would be great if this could be made into a non system APK so it could be installed as a regular app without root.
But thank you again!

By the way -- for anyone interested, on the Droid RAZR ICS (Release ROM) -- you don't need to replace the stock or push this "LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk" as it is already included. Seems the stock Motorola keyboard uses this APK.
Also, the library file is not on the phone so you don't have to worry about renaming the old one either.
Basically just put "LatinImeGoogle.apk" into /system/app and "libjni_latinime.so" into /system/lib and you are set.
Don't even need a reboot!

Buddy, not sure if root is needed but I installed this keyboard just installing the two apks as a regular installation, give a try maybe regular installation works for everyone. Download then execute the apk from folder, with some explorer, and installation begins. I keep the stock libjni_latinime.so also.

work on Galaxy SIII (android 4.0.4) and Galaxy SII (android 4.0.3) :good::good:

+1 to that. I tried just continuing with the steps and it says that I pretty much can't access the /system folder with a production ROM...it's the stock, but rooted T999 ROM.

Hey,
I'm running a CM9 Rom and I've copied the files to the relevant locations and the stock keyboard is still not showing in the language and input settings area. I even tried a restart to see if it had worked and still nothing.
* I have also tried installing the apk like a normal package which makes it present in the settings area but whenever I try to use anything that needs it (Browser, SMS etc) it says "Unfortunately android keyboard has stopped." I tried clearing the data and still the same. *
Any idea what the issue could be or if this could be worked into a CWM install package?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Requesting S3 Alarm Clock APK

After rooting my S3, I got a little over zealous uninstalling all the bloatware. As such, I mistakenly deleted the alarm clock (ya know, the one that works with S Voice). Does anyone have the apk for the stock touchwiz alarm clock? The only downloads I can find are modded versions ported for other phones.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to download a stock rom and search the zip. Normally they are located in the \system\app directory. Make sure you match permissions with other system apps.

Hi there, this is how i fixed my alarm problem
firstly download the clock apk relavent to your phone, i think that there are 3 different ones provided in this thread.
Secondly you need to download something from the play store called "Rom toolbox pro" its £3 but if you ask in the forums here someone can probably point you to a free one that does the same thing.
make sure your phone is rooted, install and run Rom toolbox pro. click on Root Browser, navigate to where you put the APK on your phone, copy and move it to root/system/app. Once you have moved the apk find it in the app folder, click and hold it for a couple of seconds. A menu should popup with options, click on "permissions" set them so they are like this. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2pphiyo&s=6 If you are using a different app you will need to set your permissions accordingly, yet again im sure there is someone on here clever enough to help with that.
Now just restart your phone, the APK will run on boot.
These are the exact steps i followed and they worked for me. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2h353dl&s=6
I hope you have the same luck

[MOD] Windy Weather Live Wallpaper w/ No Watermark

I liked the Windy Weather live wallpaper that came with the GSIII, but I didn't like the ever so noticeable watermark that is on it. I've also seen requests for versions without the watermark so, I took it out back and beat it senseless until it was gone. See the screenshots below for a preview. (I will add more screenshots later)
READ BEFORE INSTALLING
- I recommend making a back-up of the original WeatherWall.apk at /system/app BEFORE installing this.
- This only removes the AccuWeather watermark. The name of your current city will still be visible.
- This live wallpaper was pulled from a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III. Although it should, I have not tested if this will work on other versions of the Galaxy S III. I don't think it will work on other phones (because of screen size issues), but it may!
- You must have root in order to install this.
- Install at YOUR OWN risk. While highly unlikely, I take no responsibility if this damages your phone in any way.
Installation:
Manually:
1. Download the WeatherWall.apk provided and put it on your SD card
2. Open up your favorite file manager application on your phone that has system read and write capability. I prefer Root Explorer
3. Navigate to wherever you placed the downloaded .apk and move it to "system/app" overwriting the unmodified "WeatherWall.apk"
4. Restart your phone and enjoy!
NEW! Flashable: (Easier!)
1. Download the WindyWeather-NoWM.zip provided and put it on your SD card
2. Re/boot to recovery and flash the .zip file
3. Restart your phone and enjoy!
:good:

nice!

Thanks for this! Just waiting for the flashable version.

Hmmm... Also make sure when you're overwriting the old one that it sticks. You can do this by looking at the date last modified in your file manager. If it says anything but the current date and time then it did not overwrite it. If that's the case make sure your file manager has SU and root privileges and it is mounted in read and write mode. Once I get a flash working this should be much easier, but it does nothing but fail in TWRP when I try to flash the one I have put together.

ok thanks for working on it....but see thats the prob...there wasn't one there originally. maybe the rom i am on had it removed...but either way it should show up after moving it to that folder under live wallpapers right?

The key is to make sure that WeatherWall.apk is your /system/app directory. Normally you should be overwriting an old .apk. Like you said though maybe you're rom doesn't use it so may not work. As far as I know it 100% works with Touchwiz on ICS. Someone said it did work with an AOSP based rom, but I'm not sure if this was ICS or JB.
