[Q] Sprint SGS3 Jelly Bean, lost stock email app! I want it back... - General Questions and Answers

Hey All,
I have a Sprint SGS3, rooted. I installed the Touchwiz Jelly Bean Leak 4.1.1 per qbKing77's instructions found on Youtube.
I used his links for all files. The install went incredibly smoothly and I am loving the improvements, but there was one problem that is really starting to bug me. I lost the stock SGS3 Touchwiz email app. It was no longer installed on the phone after initial reboot with Jelly Bean. I am actually quite fond of that app, and quite unhappy with K-9 and alternatives. I want the stock app back!!
I have found a .zip with all the stock apps, including the Email app, but I receive errors trying to install it. I have seen no other users experience the same loss of this app, so I am at a loss. And don't really know what I am doing, evidently.
Can someone help me get the stock Email app back on my SGS3? And/or help me figure out why I lost it in the first place?
Thanks!
(Note: I cannot post links and cannot post in appropriate forum as I have zero posts!)

Is there any chance of getting this moved to a developer forum?

This post doesn't need to be in a Dev forum as it has absolutely nothing to do with Development. It could be better in your device's Q&A forum though. It may be that the Dev actually excluded the Stock email app from his ROM - are the rest of the Touchwiz apps in there, or is it stripped of all TouchWiz?

Hi, I would download a stock ROM for your phone. Then extract it on your computer. Inside the app folder, there should be an email.apk or something similar somewhere. From there put the .apk file in your new ROM's app folder without unzipping it, I would use winrar.

I have found the email.apk from the .zip of SGS3 stock apps I found. I get an error when trying to install it though. Any idea?

Did you move it to the system/app folder using a root browser?

The reason it won't work is because you need the Touchwiz framework in order for the app to function, which isn't going to happen because Touchwiz is owned by Samsung and not open source. Basically, if you want to use Touchwiz apps you need to be on a Touchwiz rom

[App Request] TouchWiz Task Manager

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.
~John
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.

[UNOFFICIAL] ROM Status Thread (VZW SGSIII)

---------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++----------
The purpose of this thread is to keep people updated on the status of various ROM's for the VZW SGSIII, because although the search button is our friend, sifting through pages of progress is cumbersome for a few of us. This is not a babysitting thread, though - I'm not posting hundreds of links to different pages and answering ROM tech support questions ( at least not all of the time ). If you post pending issues with the ROM, we can get them here and also post work arounds and fixes in a centralized area so as to not clutter the ROM sub forum. This thread will have THREE major parts.

I will be adding more ROM's as they come and as I have more time to. At night when my wife and daughter are passed out, I test these ROM's extensively. I also decompile and check everything out, just to see what might make one tick. You can post any questions you have here, and this way the devs have a centralized thread to look at where major concerns can be posted and fixes/updates/patches can be relayed just incase you missed a reply/skipped a page using the xda mobile app/etc.

Part 2: Complaints, Workarounds and Fixes
---------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++----------
Q: I lost my ability to do direct call from text after flashing this rom, and a theme.
A: I'm willing to bet you didn't realize the stock mms was replaced by the AOSP version. Luckily for you, forum post #298 in the Jellybean Domination v7.2 thread has a stock MMS fix, that is also themed blue.
Q: I flashed paranoid android and i lost complete cellular service, and I have no IMEI! Why would they make a ROM like this?
A: It's a fault somewhere between flashing this rom and K-Exec doing it's job. We don't know exactly whats causing it yet. But chances are if you would have READ you would have heard about this being the number one RISK as of right now, and backed up your EFS/IMEI accordingly. A link on how to do just that is in the first part of this thread.
Q: SynergyROM people said that tethering works and VZW Mobile Tethering is broken. What gives?
A: I could have sworn they included a different WiFi hotspot app that works off of one touch. Look for it
Q: Google Now isn't working. I installed the APK and all it says is initializing.
A: As far as I know Google Now is a jelly bean addition, correct? We are on Ice Cream Sandwich. We can't really expect everything to work. A working google now can be found in the Paranoid Android ROM, which is AOSP and Jelly Bean'd.
Q: The Dev(s) of (variable) ROM haven't replied to me or addressed my issue directly. Whats the point of being a dev?
A: This is not the Devs job. The Dev makes the ROM. The Community flashes, tests, and reports bugs/problems. The dev then finds the time to fix these issues when he/she/they can. You're not a twelve year old in a ROM candystore where every ROM is a Daily Driver until this bootloader situation gets handled properly.
Q: Awesome Beats doesn't seem to be working, help!
A: Just because it's on there doesn't mean it's supposed to work. It's experimental, and some people have given the nod and others the axe. Your model may vary. I do have a modified SGSII version of a beats script I've been working on that i've test flashed on mine that works, and I'll pass that out after some more testing and after I find the creator of it and get his/her permission, at least so I can give proper credit for the original compiling.

Hey guys, this is for you. It looks like confirmation of the efs/imei backup working on more than one person. This comes from Paranoid Android thread. I hope this helps!
It is now.. I have data AND voice. Where previously I did not.
itsmefu is correct. I used the backup from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29201792#poststop
To elaborate, I went from:
stock rom->rooted with root66 rom->made a backup of my IMEI/EFS
I did not know this but for some reason this phone views our internal storage as SD CARD whereas the actual "physical" SD CARD is named EXT SD Card... so when i first backed it up I was unaware of this... but I had used the method I linked to back up the IMEI/EFS. So that there is an EFS.BIN on my EXT SD Card.
I than updated my kernel to the latest OTA->updated my baseband to the latest OTA (I advise rolling back to the previous baseband as this baseband is HORRIBLE...)
|_->downloaded the vzd2 image recovery from this thread->downloaded JB GAPPS->downloaded paranoid droid
|_->booted into recovery using three finger method->data wiped->cache wiped->dalvik cache wiped
|_->installed PARANOID ANDROID-> installed JB GAPPS
|_->rebooted... and my data/voice was broken.
SO:
went back to recovery->nandroided back (^ok sorry i forgot I nandroid before the whole installing process...)
|_->got back to root 66 rom with root.
|_->downloaded terminal emulator
|_->followed the instructions to push the imei/efs back into the phone.
|_->rebooted.
Working data and voice. Got 4g/3g/and VOICE (<-the MOST Important).
Repeated the appropriate steps to install Paranoid Android..
Now i have working data/voice.. 4g and 3g.. Going to roll back to previous baseband though as with this new baseband I'm dropped 4g, 3g constantly at the areas when i had constant 4g and 3g! 
---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------
I can't really confirm but I know I had ALOT of zeroes in my IMEI with broken data and voice... so I'm pretty sure I had it, as I lost connection to network in total.. basically a broken phone but a working wifi tablet? haha.

Please update and say that the backup is at least working.. so it is a verified backup in a sense. So people won't be as scared as before since then the backup was a HUGE if. I can verify this because I made the backup, lost data & voice compeltely, and than rerolled backup and now have a working phone!

May want to make sure it's confirmed on more than one device and total IMEI loss before adding to the main post.
Rather clutter than people flashing and borking phones because of bad info. Mods delete this after a solution has been found and then no more clutter.

Are you talking about the lift to call motion here? If so, that has worked for me on both versions of nosympathy's ROM as well as the most recent synergy ROM.
Pretty sure if the stock MMS gets replaced by a theme/ROM direct call gets borked.
Didn't say it was won completely working, but it's better to have a backup then it is to flash and then be pissed off. One if the main reasons I made the thread is just so people can be aware. There are plenty of roms and same day developers and assholes and trolls, but we need more people helping instead of demeaning. At least now they can look and SAY OK, there is a huge warning in red regarding k-exec and AOSP Roms. Instead of people dev bashing it can help. Also I don't consider this thread clutter.

It should work on any rom based off of mine. Synergy is one of those.
He is posting it mainly because there are some themes out there that default the stock ICS mms.apk instead of the TW secmms.apk that is in my bases. No one had a working deodexed secmms.apk until I released my first base.

Absolutely. Before no sympathy it's safe to say we were stuck, in a way. His tremendous work happened after these themes were being created, and people were blaming the ROM and that's clearly not the problem, and unfair.
Great work by the way no sympathy.

Thats why I suggested the OP to update the thread with the backup to be at least confirmed working for more than 1 person-the orginal OP of the backup efs thread and me-so far... Because than at least people will be less afraid. They still have to be cautious as even getting root is not 100% safe if you don't follow anything to the T.
Well said slic!

Thanks glad you agree with me! Because apparently Farabomb thought it was clutter... which in my aspect I think at least having it worked twice should count as a fundementally WORKING backup vs. a "THEORETICAL" backup... Because realistically till this happened to me we only had one case which was the OP of the EFS thread.. so it wasn't only in theory that it would work.
And i'm pretty sure for a 15 numbers string theres only one way of messing this up..
Btw, thanks Chad for posting what i wrote in the other thread up. And my apologies if it's a bit long, people said they wanted a detailed transcript so I did that..
LOL!
I'm glad it's long. The way people work on xda sometimes, long descriptions and transcripts are needed. I want everyone to work together, because all we will do is benefit!

Oh.. sorry than. Cuz the two sentences seemed to go hand in hand lol.. And it's cool man. I'm not in IRC. I'm at work lol.. no IRC on government comps! :silly: Yeah that's why I told the OP to post that the backup was working but as already stated FOLLOW EVERYTHING TO A T AND YMMV since that part of the info hasn't changed lol.
Well you can try paranoid android rom now with no worries <--less worries- since I was the unofficial guneai pig... thank god I fixed it though lol. I also just got my 4g working again, had to reset my radio to LTE/CDMA/GSM it was set to GSM/CDMA auto. Reset it with the phone info app. Now i can see if it's better than the last baseband.
Will keep you guys updated.

AOSP/AOKP MMS.apk with Quick Reply Working on Touchwiz based ROMs!!!

Stumbled upon this recent discovery and just wanted to share the wealth! I extracted the MMS.apk from AOKP build 4 to see if it would work with Touchwiz and it does! Quick reply in the notifications window and all. Install it like any other system app; you'll need to be rooted and have a root explorer:
1. Download MMS.apk from below
2. Move to SD Card
3. ***Backup Touchwiz Messaging App "SecMMS.apk"*** by renaming the file to "SecMMS.apk.bak"
4. Move the downloaded MMS.apk to system/app
5. Fix Permissions to rw-r-r
6. Reboot
7. Hit your dougie or other victory dance of your choosing
I've attached screenshots to show that this is indeed working. The ROM I tried it on is incubus' JellyWiz RLS7 but it should work on any rom. I'm not responsible if you brick your phone or mess up your messaging app but it's pretty straight forward! If you're scared, go to church... or just nandroid :silly:
This is my first "helpful" post so if it's in the wrong section or if I've done something else that may cause WWIII than just let me know and I will fix it. I didn't see any other threads like this one though!
Edit: Didn't test thoroughly enough and as other users have pointed out, it FC's when trying to send or receive a picture message. Still, for someone who likes the quick reply, emoji, look and feel of AOSP, I think that it's a small price to pay. Also, this will ONLY work on Jelly Bean Roms!
Thanks

Where you able to send a pic message
Edit: FC when trying to send a mms
You should probably add that this will only work on jellybean based roms.
Edit: i'd like to point out that this isn't the most recent version of CM's messaging app. It's missing a lot of the things that they added.

Stumbled upon this recent discovery and just wanted to share the wealth! I extracted the MMS.apk from AOKP build 4 to see if it would work with Touchwiz and it does! Quick reply in the notifications window and all. Install it like any other system app; you'll need to be rooted and have a root explorer:
1. Download MMS.apk from below
2. Move to SD Card
3. ***Backup Touchwiz Messaging App "SecMMS.apk"*** by renaming the file to "SecMMS.apk.bak"
4. Move the downloaded MMS.apk to system/app
5. Fix Permissions to rw-r-r
6. Reboot
7. Hit your dougie or other victory dance of your choosing
I've attached screenshots to show that this is indeed working. The ROM I tried it on is incubus' JellyWiz RLS7 but it should work on any rom.

it crashes when you send or recieve mms
Would love to have this though! Its a start...
I've been trying to get this to work since the day I bought the phone. I was using (and still am on my work phone) an inverted AOSP MMS.apk that I just absolutely dig. I was sad when it didn't work on Touchwiz ROMS.
I dug a bit deeper. I got to where you guys were at, I managed to get it to install on a JB TW ROM but it crashed on MMS, just as you all are experiencing. I dug deeper.
I next tried a logcat to see if I could sniff out the issue. Nothing was glaringly obvious as being the issue. I even went so far as to Pastebin it for a well known dev on here, and he pointed it to it being the Gallery as being the issue. Since it's an AOSP app, it was probably looking for an AOSP Gallery. So I tried that. I replaced the TW Gallery with the AOSP Gallery. Still, nothing. The dev hasn't had time to really help me out since, he's a pretty busy guy and isn't even supporting the device, he was more helping me since we're more friends than anything else.
I'm going to see if I can get ahold of another dev on here and see if he can spare some time to help. Problem is, he doesn't have this phone, but I do believe he has a Galaxy Note, or the Skyrocket. I PM'd a few devs supporting our phone with ROM's to ask if they could help, and I didn't receive a response. If anyone knows anyone who can help, I'd be glad to pass along what I have.
I would REALLY like to get this working on TW ROM's. I'd settle for the old school AOSP inverted one I'm using, but the CM/AOKP one is probably pretty similar.
I managed to get an ICS, AKA non Quick Reply version, working with TW builds. Should work with any ICS/JB builds. The file is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921429

Thanks. Seems to work fine on stock/rooted TW. No QuickReply, but I think QuickMessage doesn't woked that well in CM10 anyway. I use SMS Popup from the Market.

[Q] Using system app from stock on AOSP?

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

[INDEX] TW 4.4 Download List (7-10-14)

TouchWiz 4.4 Download List​
This is everything that can currently be flashed on the 4.4 update without bricking your device. Which is unfortunately not very much .
I will keep this up to date as much as possible. Post in this thread or PM me if you think something should be added to the list. This can include anything (roms, themes, mods, etc.) that will work for anyone with a locked bootloader using safestrap on 4.4.

Custom Roms
SUPERLITEROM

Sure I could put it in there.
It's because it's a TouchWiz 4.4 thread, not an AOSP 4.4 thread. I want to make sure people don't get confused. But it is the kitkat OTA.
@BadUsername thanks for this thread, I'm currently working on my girlfriend's Galaxy S3 she got so this list is helpful. I have one question, since this isn't my primary device, or rather my device at all...is Towelroot advised to gain root?

Yes, towelroot is simple, safe and very fast to gain root. It is simple as just like you install an app from play store.

It's currently your only option.
Hi, I have a question about my locked bootloader and baseband and what not that I can't find any answers to.
If my Verizon GS3 (SCH I535) is running a 4.3 TW rom on baseband I535VRUCML1, can I Odin back to stock, take the OTA, and then flash superliterom? (which is NE1)
Cause I know this locked bootloader is finicky about basebands. Will my baseband stay on ML1 or is there any way to change to NE1? Or any way at all for me to get 4.4 with as little touchwiz bloat as possible?

That's your only option to get kitkat, and yes that is the correct procedure.
Not sure why you'd want to do that though, you're making your phone more limited by taking the update, and you aren't gaining much in terms of functionality.

Well you take what you can get with this locked bootloader, and there are some apps that only work with 4.4 (google camera, for example), plus bug fixes and some new features /improvements. How's it becoming more limited? (genuinely interested if you have a drawback to flashing 4.4)
Oh and can I change basebands without bricking? You were a little ambiguous.
Thanks for the advice and this thread though :good:

You have a couple good points, but simply compare this thread to this thread, you'll see the difference.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50115986
Again if it's not a huge deal to you, then taking the update is fine. Some users report worse battery life on 4.4, but I have no way of verifying users experience. Just remember, once you take 4.4 your rom choice immediately diminishes.
For some reason I can't post links correctly, but check that thread and look at the 4.3 download list.
keyboard
I updated and rooted to 4.4.2 KK, and really like it (except for some battery drain) and the stock keyboard. I had an old Samsung keyboard zip file (Note 2 or Note 3?) and I flashed one of those to get the numeric row on top, and now my Samsung keyboard keeps force closing. I downloaded and installed the Google Keyboard, but wondered how I can get back to my stock keyboard, or even better, how to get the keyboard I was trying to install. TIA!

updates?
I'm new to the SGSIII, trying to get up to speed. The phone I have is NE1 4.4.2 unrooted.
Is the PaulPizz ROM the only one missing from this list, or are their others that have popped up since this was last updated?

I'm a new member to this forum but I've been a causal reader for a while now.
Anyway...
Thank you for starting this thread. Thought I'd give it a bump to see if there is anything new with regards to roms or customization.

Its hard to name things, your best bet is to read and gather knowledge on what your looking for. For someone who constantly points people to this thread and others reading is essential to learning what you need to know

The following information is what I have gathered by comparing the ROM's available:
The 3 ROM's choices for locked bootloader NE1 are:
Stock = all Verizon/Samsung Bloat included
PaulPizz = mostly debloated with added torch, tether, ringtones, 5x6 Launcher, AOSP style icons
Superlite = completely debloated, with tether
Specifically, PaulPizz includes the following things which are not in Superlite:
S-Voice, allsharecast, mobile print, swype, secExchange, VPN, talkback, secEmail, samsung hub, photo table, localFOTA, gmail, gmsMaps, easysettings, kies, musicfx, myVerizon, galaxy4, SPG, voice recorder, torch, kies, musicFX, sCloud, and a few other things...
