[Q] Using system app from stock on AOSP? - HTC Sensation

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

Samsung notes ask

Im looking for the original notes app that came with tablet.if someone knows its where about please let me know also is there a way to run honeycomb apps on a 2.3.4. Thank you
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
Sorry, can't help with the notes.apk file, since I don't have a stock ROM anywhere
As for running HC apps, you can try sideloading them, but your chances are incredibly slim. Honeycomb was a whole separate branch of Android and therefore HC apps are quite different to their 2.x counterparts. There is a whole heap of code that apps will use that won't be present in 2.x ROMs that is only available in 3.x, so generally, no there is no way to run HC apps on Froyo/GB.
Wait for an ICS ROM then try again, since it should work then.
If you check the overcome website, the stock gingerbread v5 might have the notes application in it, not really sure how you'll get it out either. No Guarantee's of course but worth a shot!
Here you go.

[Q] Could i move apk files from one rom and install it onto another?

Hi guys, i just have recently downgraded my ics to gb rom rooted. I missed some of the cool built-in apps that it has on ics compare to gb. Such as Gallery, Music, sms, dialer and browser. Is it possible to extract it from ics rom and replace it with my current ones? if not, could you recommend me some apps that i could get it over with? i mean i want to save some space(ram) thats all and make it look cool.

You could always put ICS back on the device and extract the APK using ADB (install QtADB, it's easier to use). The thing is : it probably won't work. Most apps "built for ICS" depends on libraries that are simply not there in previous version of the os. I know the Music app can be installed (google it) but I'm pretty sure the dialer and sms cannot.
thank you! thats all i needed to hear

[Q] NFC On at lockscreen

There are mods for several other devices that keep NFC on when the phone is locked, screen off, ect. For example here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723193
Would that download work for the HOXL? If not, are there any versions ported for our phone? (I couldn't find any after searching)
Right now I am running CleanROM 5 final, but will be running CM/AOSP eventually.

I'm dying for this feature. The guy who did the one for the international HTC One X couldn't do it for a deodexed ROM.

If you find anything I'd love to hear it.
some aosp roms have that feature. cm10 does not right now, but others do. im not sure about sense roms.

Hopefully CM will add it soon... I've been holding off on CM/AOSP right now since it seems more laggy than sense does, I can't wait for HW VSYNC/butter to be finished. :fingers-crossed:
In the mean time.. it would be great if a developer could port this over to sense on the HOXL. :highfive:
Solved! I figured out the modifications Nfc.apk needed and made 'em: currently, NFC is active on my phone regardless of whether the screen is on or off and locked or unlocked.
As you guys know from the thread above and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709586, it needs to be built specifically for each ROM. I did it for CleanROM JL Beta 1 which is based on Android 4.1.1 with Sense 4+, so I don't know whether or not the apk would be useful for you. If so, I can post it. If not, I can try to re-build it for your ROM if you'd like - just post a link to the specific ROM you're running and I'll give it a shot.

I think this will work - give it a shot... If it doesn't, I have something else I can try.
I made 2 of 'em - one that should work when the screen is on but locked and another that should work anytime: screen on/off/locked/unlocked/etc. Remember to:
1) Back up your current /system/app/Nfc.apk
2) Rename whichever file you want to Nfc.apk
3) Put it in /system/app (file should be /system/app/Nfc.apk)
4) Set the permissions to 644 (rw,r,r)
5) Reboot
You may need to turn NFC off and back on? It can't hurt to try...
Give it a shot and let me know if it works.
Edit: stand-by, I forgot something...
Update: There we go. Now give it a shot!

It looks like screen off isn't working but lock screen seems to be working... Thank you for taking a stab at this. Really appreciate it!

Interesting. Thanks for the feedback! I'll try one more thing tomorrow...
Just a note, to anyone on Viper, this capability is baked into Viper Tweaks.
Abarash, this works great thank you
Actually it only sort of works for me on cm10.1. I could only read tags after putting this on, no longer could write to tags

[Q] Sprint SGS3 Jelly Bean, lost stock email app! I want it back...

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!)

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

[Q] Incompatible apps after installing CM10

Hi,
I recently installed CyanogenMod 10 on my HTC Sensation.
Since then, I can't install several useful apps for me from the Google PlayStore, and I get a message "this version is incompatible with your device" (I had the same apps on my phone when I was on a stock Android ICS).
I tried to modify the build.prop file of my phone to make it look like a Samsung nexus S, following a tutorial I found. Then I wiped the playstore cache, rebooted, but no change.
What can I do ?
Thank you for your help !

What apps are you looking at? That gives us a start to figure out what the problem is.
Also, what version of CM10 did you install? Bruce's Kang? The Official Nightly? Bruce's kang of CM10.1?
Did you change the DPI? That often causes the play store error you are talking about.
If all else fails do a full wipe and start over. Something might just be screwy in your install. But this is not a super common problem on CM10. So we can probably isolate what you are doign differently and fix it.
I mostly want to download French apps i used to have on my HTC before i installed CM10 (Société Générale, Qype, Allociné...)
I have Bruce's CM10 version "10-20130103-bruce2728-pyramid"... I don't know if it's the reference you were looking for. I downloaded it on this page : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009
I haven't change any DPI and never heard of something like this. Can you tell me more, if it has a chance to solve the problem ?
It could just be that those apps aren't ready for JB yet... Search for those apps + Jelly Bean in Google and see if there are any results saying anything about whether it's compatible or not, if they're working on updating them so they are, etc...
All the apps i'm refering to were working on my phone when i had a stock Android Jelly Bean.
Only since i installed CM10 they are shown as incompatible...

There is no stock jelly bean for the Sensation. Ice cream sandwich is as far as stock development went.
So you weren't running stock jb.
Changing DPI would have only broken compatibility. If you don't know what it is then you didn't mess with it.
I assume you set up cm10 to run in French. If not maybe that's it?

You're right. I was running a stock Android 4 ICS. My mistake ! And the apps were working with this version.
But a friend has a galaxy s3 with jb, and the apps work on his phone. So they are actually compatible with jelly bean.
I have CM10 in French.

Maybe someone else running Bruce's ROM can try searching these apps in playstore and see if they have a similar problem.
Running a DK version of 4.2.1 they show and would install from the playstore for me...
Have you reflashed the phone and tried this? I'm not sure what Bruce's ROM tags the phone as by default but it would appear either through a change made or the ROM it's not flagging as a compatible device.
I would have suspected DPI (image size) change but we seem to have cleared that as an issue already.

I tested the ones you mentioned on CM 10 official nightly and they install as they should.
HTC Sensation XE
Does anything else install from the play store or is it only the French stuff?
Maybe you had something go screwy during install of either the ROM or the gapps?
