[Q] Changing Default gallery app - General Questions and Answers

How to Change Default gallery on rom, so i can use it with selection of lockscreen wallpapers!

I believe if you delete the stock gallery app and move the gallery app you want to use instead from data/app to system/app, and rename it to" gallery.apk or whatever the stock one was called, that might work? (Might have to change permissions also). Sounds like a lot more than it is, but you'll need root explorer.

Wallpaper resize fix for UCLE2 ICS Leak

OK if you are having issues resizing the wallpaper in the gallery that came with the new ICS leak then I've got a fix for you. I tried changing the code of the gallary3d apk in both ucle2 ics and 2.3.5 gingerbread with no success. So I found a gallary apk file on the net for android stripped the code made some minor tweaks installed and bam I could resize wallpaper again. OK let me give you some info you need to know...
First you will need the apk file from the link below. And you may want to download apex launcher from the market and here is why...
1. Using Apex launcher you have the ability to resize wallper and wallpaper scrolls again as you flip thru home screens. Apex launcher is a free download from the Google play store.
2. With stock touchwiz launcher that came on the phone after you install the apk file below you will have the ability to resize wallpaper only the scrolling wallpaper as you flip thru home screens still does not work in touchwiz and since I don't use touchwiz I'm not gonna try to make it cause touchwiz sucks anyway.
3. With go launcher, tw launcher, MX home and other launchers on the play store I have no idea. Untested on launchers other than those listed above. So try if you want and report if it works on other launchers if you want.
I have tested this on my skyrocket and it is working. Also tested it on my wife's Samsung INFUSE 4G running gingerbread and it fixed her wallpaper resizing issue to. Also fixes wallpaper scroll on the Infuse using touchwiz and go launchers but that was on the Infuse only. WALLPAPER SCROLL DOES NOT WORK USING TOUCHWIZ ON THE SKYROCKET WALLPAPER RESIZE ONLY UNLESS YOU USE APEX LAUNCHER. Just wanted to say that again so I don't get 1000 messages saying my wallpaper still won't scroll using stock launcher.
Now one more thing if you install the apk below like normal just open and install and you still have a problem resizing wallpaper then try this... you must be rooted and have an app installed that lets you get to the root folders. I use rom tool box lite free from Google play but you can use whatever root file explorer you choose. Open up root explorer find the apk you downloaded below and copy it. Then navigate to the system/app folder and paste it there. Use rom manager also free from Google play to fix permissions reboot and it should work. But try the regular install method first. As I said this is working for me on both the new ics leak on my skyrocket and on gingerbread on the Samsung infuse...
Thanks to xcraxydx for providing a couple of apks that I needed....

I'm using Apex Launcher, not rooted, and ran this apk and wallpaper is still not sizable. Is this for rooted users only?
Edit: Just saw in the last paragraph must be rooted. Play on players.

[MOD][TW][4.1.2]TouchWiz,White Setting, White Keyboard,etc. (20/06)

hello, I wanna share my little hobby, simple mod only, hope u like
I'm working on Superbean ROM v1.3.1 files, so this MOD will work flawlessly if you already on root, deodexed, XXLT4, preload system app files, have CSC folder/files, AND 320 DPI.
TW Launcher + accuWeatherWidget + GoogleSearchWidget from S4
4x4 home grid size, like galaxy s4/note 2. (menu grid size is default)
auto rotate 360
wallpaper scrolling + page looping OFF (so it will look nice), for page looping OFF you MUST have CSC folder/files
page count until 9
layout accuwetherwidget looks different but still looks nice, I'll update next time
Flashbarservice
white theme like galaxy S4 with best size
Stock Keyboard
white theme in all condtion
enable secondary symbol -- you MUST have CSC folder/files
Setting Menu
white theme
unfortunately it still has Superbean Addons menu, so if your ROM isn't Superbean it will make FC when you click the Superbean Addons menu
Solution :
create your own white setting, I'll show for guide below, or
remove it from menu: learn from majdinj great tutorial HERE, or
install all Apps that on Superbean Addon
Contact + Phone
contact image from galaxy S4
Messaging
contact image + bubble with best padding/space for textview from galaxy S4 too
Lockscreen
auto rotate 360
Galaxy S4 Clock on left position, left position only for Clock, Date, and Charge Text.
All stuff above is my own mod. I made it carefully, so if still has bug please tell me except bug of translation/language
Before asking about other feature that enable/disable, you can check on Superbean ROM v1.3 here

Additional :
New stock P0laris 0ffice full from s4, new Samsung Apps (I got this from galaxy note II themes and apps section)
Video Player with live thumbnail Preview (this is not my mod, I got from Alliance ROM)
High res stock wallpaper galaxy note 8
How to install:
- Backup your original File
- flash file zip below from CWM
- for polaris office and samsung apps just install
Some Tips:
1. for backup, copy my zip file to another folder on your computer and replace all things inside with yours (preload / non preload system will has different location), so if everything goes wrong, you can easly restore by flashing your original file
2. if you don't want to use all things above, just remove file FROM ZIP that you don't want install
example:
lockscreen - /system/framework/framework-res.apk
videoplayer - /preload/symlink/system/app/videoplayer.apk AND all inside /system/lib/*
keyboard - /preload/symlink/system/app/samsungIME.apk
etc.
3. if you're non preload system apps
compare all my files inside the zip with yours original file.
example:
if your AccuWeatherWidget.apk has location in /system/app/ then move my file AccuWeatherWidget.apk to /system/app like yours.
etc
4. if you come from another stock ROM 4.1.2, you can try and tell me always do backup first!

I don't know, but I guess not.
you can try to modify yourself, I found THIS guide to enable Auto Correct.
Why don't you mod it for next update? Because Samsung keyboard isn't perfect without auto correction. Some more my laptop spoiled. Can't do anything. Lol.

How to change Default Apps and Wallpapers on Mediatek Devices

Hi everybody
I'm looking for "how to change the default apps and wallpapers on mediatek devices" in order to make my own custom ROM.
For default apps, I tried to put .apk files in /system/app, and created a backup using MTKDroidTools, but it didn't work (like the MX Player apk file). Can someone help me for this.
Also I couldn't find how to replace defalut wallpapers in my stock ROM.
I have a iNew i2000 (MT6589)
Thanks
for that you have to put .so files in system / lib folder...btw putting apps like mx player is not a good idea.... as user can install them... it just make rom bulky...

To change default wallpaper you have to edit framework-res.apk, and replace defaultwallpaper.jpg
To change wallpapers in launcher you have to edit Launcher2.apk, and replace wallpaperXX.jpg and their thumbnails for your dpi
To add apps, put them in /system/app, and if it contains any lib in apk package (check it using 7zip or winrar), extract it and put inside /system/lib/

Yes..! you can place that 4.4 Kitkat launcher (GoogleHome.apk) under /system/app and set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot your phone. Upon boot. press home key and you will get 2 launchers choice. One would be your ROMs default launcher and other would be 4.4 launcher. If you want to keep only kitkat launcher then delete ROMs default launcher from system/app. Thats it Also place that other velvet.apk aka google search & PrebuiltGmsCore.apk aka Google settings and set their permissions to rw-r-r. Without these two possibility that launcher could crash.
Additional Info: In Kitkat launcher we can't have blank homescreen page. A new homescreen gets generated only when we try to place widget or app on new homescreen. A blank homescreen page won't create in Kitkat launcher. Complete collection of 4.4 apps available in this Link by @proseray

Request: weather app

Hi everyone,
I uninstalled the Huawei weather app because I thought I didn't need it, but I thought I'd give it another try. Could anyone upload the apk for me? Thanks in advance!
The Weather channel app...
I only want the best, so give me what I want! BMW!!!
I need the original apk from the system folder if possible, so I can use the lockscreen weather widget. Unless the Weather Channel app does the same trick.

Thanks for your help! I was unable to install it though, and simply copying it into the system/app folder wouldn't make it work. Fortunately, I remembered that I did a full backup with Titanium Backup when the system was freshly installed - silly me

No problem. Too bad the app from those links doesn't work, I didn't test it. Anyway, I can't uninstall weather app, working only on rooted devices I think.
Glad you solve your problem. So backup its a must for this situations. Good to know

It's part of the default lockscreen, you can swipe it up from the bottom of the screen, together with 4 app shortcuts. But it won't show when the app isn't installed.
