[Q] accessing system - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Trying to access my system folder to remove some software but the folder is not showing up in root explorers. Neither my nexus nor s3. Does this have to do with the distasteful /0 everyone hates? Or was there an error on my part? Thanks much

Memo .apk

Does anyone have the original memo .apk that came with our phone. I've been searching everywhere for it and can't find it.

I got this by unzipping ICBINB KH2 -- it's in system/app
Download kd1 from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14354582 Extract it and look in system/app for the apk. Copy the apk to system/app on your phone.
Edit: file already posted above but that is from GB. May work for you. This method will work for any app you need in the future.

All u need to is download that one and then push to system/app with root explorer. Then set permissions to rw-r-r and voila. It worked for me so it should for u too.

I suggest trying Note Everything. It's just like the Memo app, except the text is smaller (I found the Memo text to be obnoxiously big). You can even draw stuff with that app.
Looks like I'm gonna have to go with note everything because both of our computers aren't recognizing my phone

What do you need your computer for? Download kd1 from the link above. Use a file explorer to extract and push the file to system/app. I use root explorer, but there are many more that will work.

Get "download all files" from market. It will allow you to download zips with stock browser.

Gallery lock-if you use it i need your help!

Went back to stock, flashed New Rom, downloaded gallery lock. If i use root browser i can navigate to the for and see all my files, but when i use the recover option in the app it finds 0 files. I have some pretty important stuff in there!

does it show your file when u open gallerylock? And if you see them in root explorer cant you just copy and paste. Also...doesnt gallery lock rename the file extentions?

In the past i have been able to recover them without touching anything, but this time it's giving me hell. I think i need to move the files, but not sure where, and of course the dev won't respond.

I simply used root browser to move all the files from my saved gallery lock folder, into the new gallery lock folder that was hiding in sdcard-data- gallerylock. Then i opened the app again and did the recovery again.

S memo installation?

I couldn't help but noticed the sudden interest in s memo, so i searched around and found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662255
My question, thigh, is how do i install it from here? Do i have to put the odex file somewhere? Or just put it in system app
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Sorry, Mierkat. There's no S-Memo there.
If you're asking about the "stock" Samsung Memo app, it won't run on non-Samsung ICS ROMs since it requires TouchWiz
E/PackageManager(249): Package com.sec.android.app.memo requires unavailable shared library touchwiz; failing!
If you want to export your data so you can use a different memo app, I just uploaded Extract contents of Samsung Memo App's Database to CSV File that may help you. You do not need a running version of Memo to use this, just a backup of the database.

If you download the app pack, unzip it and scroll down, you can find smemo.apk and smemo.odex
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
So does anybody know how to install it?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Not I. I wish I did.
Look in themes for the s3 add on
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
That gives you a special touchwiz memo app, not the same memo app that comes on the s3, called s-memo
So nobody has any idea?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Here is the s3 add on and in a apk with in this zip but you might have to flash the whole zip for it to work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730890

7.5 gigs free, cannot install an apk due to no space?

So I am truly confused.
I am trying to install an apk that is 6mb and I keep getting an error that I have insufficient space.
Problem is, 14 regular market apps updated just fine.
And I've 7.5 gigs free space.
I've rebooted into cwm recover, and fixed permissions, cleared the cache, still no fix.
Any ideas?

Yes sir.
The only thing done was a root. Other than this I'm stock.
Meaning I am not running any custom rom.
I have installed Google now... But that's it. That's the only mod flashed and it's been there two days before this problem manifested.

But i cant see lock screen when i start my xoom 2; but when i touch to unlock, the system display error launcher.apk. And i can check OTA, view system information... I don't understand ... :crying:
You have replaced the launcher.apk you will need to find one that is suited to your build model. Or if you can... Download a third party launcher from the market.
