When i was using a stock rom i remember i could copy libs and apks to system and as soon as i was out of root explorer those files worked without needing to restart.
Now i am on cm9 rc2 and i noticed that copying the same files i need to reboot to make the files work.
Is that a touchwiz exclusive feature or is somewhere hiden?
The only thing i remember doing different now in cm9 was updating apex launcher, could that be the reason?
The files i used are email apk, polaris office libs and apks, etc.

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?
Not liking the Android Keyboard too much in CM10 JB for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 wifi
so, looking for way(s) to get the Stock Samsung Keyboard app/apk from ICS to work on CM10.
Tried using Titanium Backup / restore, as well as, recovery update.zip options but no luck.
Any ideas on how to get this app as well as few other Samsung Stock apps to work on CM or other builds?
You need the APK (and odex if it wasn't deodexed) as well as the lib for the keyboard.
a bit mre detail plz

Dude, is that an Audi? I am guessing you drive one, I do and Love it!
As for how to make the apps run, I have searched but confused about Smali, Baksmali etc. And don't think I am going the right direction here. So, if you could, plz post some steps as to how this is done. Also, where to find the lib and odex files...
I'd have to restore my original backup and extract the files and later restore the current running cm10. Since I have only one tab, it is not easy to experiment as it takes time for loading etc. If u can post some specific steps, I'll just take it from there for all the stock apps I need (I.e. calendar, memo etc.)
The easiest way to do it would be to pull the APK from a deodexed ROM, then you don't need to worry about an odex file. For the lib, I believe it is libXt9core.so or similar, and it will be in /system/lib/. Then all you would need to do is put the APK in /system/app and the lib in /system/lib and it should work for you.
Also, yes it is an Audi
I know this has been asked before, but it hasn't been asked too clearly, at least to me. I'm using CM 10.1 on a Tmobile Galaxy S3, and I want to install a few of the Samsung apps like the Accuweather widget, sMemo, etc. I have all the apps in a backup folder, and they all have two files; a .apk file, and a .odex file. Can I just install them (.apk) like normal apps, or do I need to do something special with the .odex file, or can you even run them on a custom rom? I just really like a few of the stock features and would prefer to have them, but not at the cost of giving up CM 10.1 just to use them.
The stock apps need kinda stock environment to work with. So most of the stock apps don't work properly on a custom ROM.
That shouldn't prevent you from giving it a try.
You shouldn't be installing it as a normal app, but you should push the apk to system/app with right permissions (rw-r--r--) and reboot.
See if that works. Try with and without the odex file.
Look at this thread on how to set permissions.
A search would have told you that you can't run OEM apps in an AOSP based rom

You need the framework that samsung adds. Using a rom based off the original will do it for you.
Summary: How can I transfer apps from the stock rom (that are stored as.apk and .odex pairs) to my current rom?
Full Story: The stock rom (Gingerbread) for the Samsung YP-G70 has a working fm radio app that I'd like to use with my current rom (CM 10.2). I saved the .apk and .odex files from a stock install to my sd card.
Is this even possible?
If anybody's managed to do it, what're the steps? (the default apps are stored as .apk with a .odex file and xultimate can't seem to handle the files (get "top level error" about missing files and such))
No mate it is not that way....
goggle For it

Already tried that. All the results I'm seeing involve a third party app backup tool (which I've already tried without success), or don't address the mixed apk & odex issue.
no it wont
it wont work as it is odexed .... try deodexing the apk but still i would say it wont work but still u try...
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.
