Sorry if this is a noob question or something but does anyone know how to get some system apps working on other phones? For example I wanna extract conversations.apk of the Xperia S and put it in the system folder of the galaxy ace. After setting permissions it doesn't work. Am I missing something? It shouldn't require any libs and maybe it's a hardware thing?
i am interested as well, because i want the Browser from Xperia S on my HTC One X.
Anyone that can help us????
Anyone?

Hi all,
Here is the freshly extracted .apk of photo editor from i9000's value pack system/app.
There was no .odex.
Its can be installed anyway (system/app or normal installation)
Its opening but force closes after selecting picture!
My rom is'nt deodexed. So someone please try it on a deodexed ROM.
THANKS!
force close on a deoxed rom ddkp3
I think it needs porting of some framework files also....try out to find which one....
I think it needs a correct lib file!
Can someone please post the correct lib file to run this?

not working for me.
I got it to work. I tried to make an update.zip but I dont think it works. Its best if you just copy over the files manually to there respective directories.
How would you put this file where it goes any instructions ?
Ayway to get this app to work on galaxy s3?

Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454802 and you will see it is pretty simple. You just swap your pics(pngs) inside defaultthemes.apk. Look inside res/drawable-hdpi to see pics. Best bet is to rename the defaultthemes.apk to zip file extension(defaultthemes.zip) when editing on computer and unzip it to see pics easier. Then swap out whatever you want but keep the names of pngs the same & then rezip it and change the end back to apk. The rest is explained in the link I posted. lol.

Sorry man, I didn't think it could brick or bootloop phone if you were editing your own defaultthemes.apk and you changed the permissions before you drop it into the system/app folder. And usually only replacing the framework-res.apk will ever bootloop phone when I'm messing with files in system/app folder. Do you remember when your phone started bricking. What did you do(if u remember) & what model of Xperia play are you on? R800i or R800x? GSM or CDMA?

Hi,
I'm not an android developement expert but have a question about your advice.
If we delete only the app from /system/app folder (and nothing more. via root explorer), won't it cause trouble?
I would like to give an example for clearing this issue in my mind. In windows, if we just delete the exe file from the Program Files, it doesn't mean we uninstalled the program. It still lefts dll files etc. Is it like this in android?
I asked this because I wanna uninstall the apk's in my custom rom like Google Player or DSP Manager. The developer installed them inside the custom rom, so they look like system apps and as a result I can't uninstall them...
replace them via root explorer and check the permission for new file then restart your device and it will work

adroid system are module style, a apk consist of every thing needed to run the apps. but some app need extra lib file, if you can find the lib file used by a apk to run, than you can delete it form system/lib too.
Exactly what the post above said. Some system apps have .lib files (like windows dll) but i would leave them if i were you because your replacement apps might have dependancies on those lib files. Im not entirely sure.
Also, the libs are stored in system/lib

Apps specially for ICS won't work in gb roms. These 2 version of roms are quite different.
Pls don't simply mess up with the roms version.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app
Btw, if you back up your original rom's apk files, there is a chance to use them on your custom roms. It has a higher chance if your custom is based on your original rom.
For example, I backed up samsung's music player and photo editor apk on original DDLF2 and installed them on my custom Frankestain rom. Now I'm using them with no problems. I must mention, the original fm radio apk didn't work on custom rom, as it needen some special libraries/frameworks.

is is possible to port stock system phone and contacts apps from samsung models?
they have the swipe to call/message feature.
i know the "exDialer" app on playstore does the job too.
but im thinking if we can port it then we won't need an "extra app running" in the background all the time.
so what do you guys think?
Yes, but will not working properly.

Its possible. As long as you have root access on both the Sony and the Samsung you can transfer the apk (found in /system/app/) via bluetooth.

The app is designed for Samsung's customized version of android and samsung hardware so porting across to a SONY will bring some issues. I haven't tried it myself but ported apps never work as intended fully.

First of all you need root access on both phones. You also need to install a root file explorer onto both devices. I would also recommend backing up the Sony using flashtool to fix any issues that may arise.
On the Samsung, go to the root directory (/), next go to (system/) then go to (app/). Somewhere in that folder will be the contacts app in APK format. You will need to make a copy of that file and either Bluetooth it to the sony or transfer it via USB/WiFi Direct. Make a copy of the Contacts.apk file in the /system/app folder on the SONY and name it Contacts.Backup.apk. Now you are ready to install, you need to copy the APK you just transferred from the Samsung to that folder. If needed, rename the apk to Contacts.apk and reboot your phone.
If all goes well, you should have the Samsung Contacts app on your SONY. However, I do not own a Samsung nor have I tried transferring apps like these between phones. Do this at your own risk, I am NOT responsible for a bricked device.
There may also be some dependencies in that folder which are needed for operation. I would suggest transferring any app with the word contact(s) in the title.
If this helped then please leave a "thumbs"

i know i need to transfer and install the relevant apks for the apps i want..but im saying do i need to modify the apk in someway so that they can be "installed" on other manufacturer's device? because once i tried to install htc stock apk on my sony, and it just said "application not installed"
HTC apps cannot be install in other device.
U need Sense framework and maybe there are other libs( maybe only in HTC firmware) needed to make the apps run on ur device.
U know, HTC suckss
Sent from my Xperia Miro using xda premium
okay. so in order to run other manufacturer's apps, even if you are able to port it, you need the particular framework and libs. thanks that answered me.
