Hi all, I have a Chinese clone of Galaxy S4 called No.1 S6 with MTK6589 Cpu and Android 4.2.1, well, I tried to replace some system app like contacts, phone dialer and messages with the same apps taken from the Slim bean 4.2.2 Rom for the Google Nexus 4 that has the same screen resolution. I odexed the slim bean apks with dexopt-wrapper as explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462648, I signed them with auto-sign software, so I put them into system/app folder with right permissions, deleting old apks first, rebooted the phone, wiped cache in recovery and when the phone booted the apk I replaced was gone, so I wanna ask u if it's really possible to make this kind of replacement or I made a huge mistake, of course this is a noob that talks...

It's maybe an stupid question but, did you tried to install it normally? With the apkinstaller or filemanager.
Well, If it's to replace other apps. Uninstall it first and then try to install your port. Without any wipe or so.
Unfortunately these apks can't be installed as normal apks, the installation fails if u try, and I can't uninstall them neither because system apps have to be replaced manually in system/app folder. So the question was if the problem is with the odex file or the signature or if there is an absolute incompatibility between OS and the ported apks that I want to replace. I'm afraid that's not possibile at all because system apps have deep connections with the OS...

Anyone?
The thread can be closed, I made a mistake writing here, I apologize, I will be more careful next time.

The optical reader integrates the samsung keyboard with input ocr capabilities using the camera to scan text. The standalone app is useful to translate text on the fly by pointing at the camera.

Any chance to install it manually??(no cwm yet).
thanks
Strange Samsung excluded Optical Reader from the Note 3, it is there in the S4. I installed an alternative called 'Photo Reader' from the Play Store, but the app crashes on opening. I modified my phone a little bit (Vega Root, Foldershare (incl. fix mount points)).
Is there anyone who tried this 'Photo Reader' app on the Note 3 who can confirm it working on the Note 3?

You can install manually (I did that way) simply by copy the zip structure in the corresponding folder structure. There are no overlapping libraries, so no risk that anything go mess. The only thing are the permissions to be set as discussed in the OP

I've tried flashing this, verifying permissions and then replacing apk and lib files with ones from the latest S4 4.3 ROM.
The final step at least got the app to launch but it still won't OCR. I also tried installing the optical reader database from Samsung's App Store.
I was wondering if anyone has tried Abbyy Mobile TextGrabber? Is it pretty much the same thing? If so, I might just buy it!

check the permissions of the folder system/photoreader and the subfolders (should be drwxr-xr-x 755). This activated the on the fly OCR functionality.
I'm on sm-n9005 xxubmj3 rooted odex.
I've reinstalled it manually because seems the cwm script is faulty and setup the permission manually and it works flawlessly.

I flashed it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555 on N9005 rooted on MJ1 and reader is confirmed working.
Also the extra dictionaries can be downloaded for free from Samsung apps.

Bedankt mijn vriend:good:Er was veel heel good:laugh:
Thank you very much
Looks like there is a way to have inter-compatibility between the old S-Note files for the new 2014 devices like Note 3.
With all the lost functions on the new 2014 S-Note , it might be better to take the 2012 S-Note instead:

Hi all
I work with Galaxy Note 2 AND Galaxy Note 8.0 (4.2.2) with SNotes sync with Samsung account.
New 4.3 ROms for Note 2 featuring new SNote are wonderful, but new SNote may only import old notes and convert into a new format that is not even readable from Note 8.0 with the old application.
Since in original Sammy 4,3 Firmware there is OLD SNote, there must be a way to have it work on these roms.
What I have already tried
I have tried deleting app data, removing Snote3.apk, copying SNoteT0.apk and SNoteT0Provider.apk into system/app, setting permissions. Rebooted for wipe cache and dalvick. When I had an old MI6 Leak Rom, this trick worked.
In Dr Ketan's Rom after rebooting I receive a persistent SNote Error as soon as the phone starts. So, there must be something wrong with my procedure.
May anyone help me with this issue? How to do or make a ZIP file to restore OLD SNote?

S note 2, flashable zip:

It works. Now I have BOTH new SNote AND old SNote.
At the beginning I have had some errors with Samsung account sync, that's because it featured 2 snote syncronizarion items... But after a while it has gone ok. I think that a good solution may be using different accounts for syncing the 2 apps: samsung for SNote 2 and evernote for SNote 3.

Hi! I have a question: is it possible to change the conversation tones in whatsapp? That tone that you get when you send a message and you get the tick and the sounds that you get when you're IN a specifical conversation and you get a new message. Can it be done?
Yes, but you'd have to decompile the app's apk, change the sound files with the ones you want, recompile it and sign it, then you'd have to backup the conversations, uninstall the original version and install the modded one, and all of this at every update

nvm, lol
Your help will be greatly appreciated:
Last night some apps were updated automatically, and since then my dialer, sms and contacts apps crash whenever i try to use them. If I boot the phone in 'safe mode', those apps work OK, but I can't use the other apps I have (except for the play store).
Any idea how to fix that without resetting?
How can I check which apps were updated?
Thanks

Crash means fc so need log (if you have root)
About how to understand wich app updated depend on wich android version you have but in application (where you can clear data of app) updated app should write remove the update..
Hope help....

Hi there.
Can anyone provide me the stock Phone APK? I have the european version without root.
I installed, by mistake, the Phone APK of APKMirror which is not on the android version target.
Thanks in advance.

The version you need should be in the list.
v4.1.0 came stock on my 7 Pro.

The v4.4.0 is the one what I have installed which doesnt follow the theme (color, light, dark) of the settings (for example) and first time when I installed does FC after checking the settings optiom on the Phone APK.
The goal of the thread is to try if I can fix by installing the default one and not to be forced to reinstall the ROM or root the Phone.
PD: I have installed the Google Phone modified that is working without magisk but would be fine try to fix the default APK.
Ty for the replies.
Ok so just disable the Phone application and it will remove any installed updates.
Then re-enable and you will be back at stock.

I did that the first time after installing the APK (or I think I dit it) but after reading your comment, I tried again and its works .
Now the phone apk seems to be the factory one.
Thanks for the help.
