[REQ] Phone. apk from i9505 Google Edition - Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps

Hello
I find the phone.apk from the tw rom very slow. Can I replace it with the phone.apk from a i9505G rom? Can someone provide a phone.apk from a i9505G?

It won't work. There will be missing methods from the framework files. You probably want the dialler and contacts apps anyway, which will work.

installing?

[APP] Google Talk from 2.3.4 extracted: NOT WORKING, Help Needed!

Hi everyone,
I downloaded the extracted .apk from latest Google Android release 2.3.4
The .apk is atached below.
I have had no success in installing the app on my 2.3.3 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S. I tried pushing it to /system/app via Root Explorer, but once you try to install package it just doesn't install by saying "Aplication not installed".
Im no dev or whatsoever,so I would encourage anyone who could help to make it work on 2.3.3, Google stated in Google Mobile Blog that Google Talk with Video Chat will be for 2.3+ devices, so it "should" work on 2.3.3.
Any help is appreciated! Share your thoughts!
Try pushing it into system/app and then change permissions. Reboot and post result.

I doubt that it will work until you upgrade the OS version to 2.3.4, it might be integrated with os changes.

That was my first thought too, but after downloading the entire update it looks like that might not be the case. There aren't a ton of changes in there, and only two updated system apps. One of which is gtalk, the other is an nfc app(for supported devices obviously). I haven't looked through anything else yet(I'm slacking off enough at work as it is), but it would appear the changes are minimal.
Edit: found a new libtalk_ini.so file in /system/lib/
That may help? Anybody have time to try?
I really wish I knew how to do this stuff. I would love to give it a try but I'm so lost! Time to do some reading! LOL
The manifest for this apk says the target and minimum sdk version is 10, which is 2.3.3....so there's a good chance that after some deodexing and supporting files this will work no problemo
That's the key. It should work on 2.3+ as stated by Google, so I think i'ts up to deodexing and adding the proper files. Sure someone experienced can do it

Generally, yes.
I got it to run, but I can't tell how to start a video chat. I pushed the apk, and odex file to the system/app directory and the jnk.so file to the system lib directory. Ran Talk and it opened fine...

Btw, its very possibly its simply running the standard install of Talk.apk instead of Talk2.apk... I'll try removing the Talk.apk...
-- Confirmed. I removed the Talk.apk from the system/app/ folder... lost my Talk icon in the launcher. Rebooting; maybe it will showup after reboot.
-- Ok, now I'm not completely convinced that you can get rid of Talk.apk when you push Talk2.apk. They both may have to be there.

Here is the freshly extracted .apk of photo editor from i9000's value pack system/app.
There was no .odex.
Its can be installed anyway (system/app or normal installation)
Its opening but force closes after selecting picture!
My rom is'nt deodexed. So someone please try it on a deodexed ROM.
THANKS!

Hi,
I'm not an android developement expert but have a question about your advice.
If we delete only the app from /system/app folder (and nothing more. via root explorer), won't it cause trouble?
I would like to give an example for clearing this issue in my mind. In windows, if we just delete the exe file from the Program Files, it doesn't mean we uninstalled the program. It still lefts dll files etc. Is it like this in android?
I asked this because I wanna uninstall the apk's in my custom rom like Google Player or DSP Manager. The developer installed them inside the custom rom, so they look like system apps and as a result I can't uninstall them...
replace them via root explorer and check the permission for new file then restart your device and it will work

adroid system are module style, a apk consist of every thing needed to run the apps. but some app need extra lib file, if you can find the lib file used by a apk to run, than you can delete it form system/lib too.
Exactly what the post above said. Some system apps have .lib files (like windows dll) but i would leave them if i were you because your replacement apps might have dependancies on those lib files. Im not entirely sure.
Also, the libs are stored in system/lib

Apps specially for ICS won't work in gb roms. These 2 version of roms are quite different.
Pls don't simply mess up with the roms version.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app
Btw, if you back up your original rom's apk files, there is a chance to use them on your custom roms. It has a higher chance if your custom is based on your original rom.
For example, I backed up samsung's music player and photo editor apk on original DDLF2 and installed them on my custom Frankestain rom. Now I'm using them with no problems. I must mention, the original fm radio apk didn't work on custom rom, as it needen some special libraries/frameworks.

[Q] App porting

is is possible to port stock system phone and contacts apps from samsung models?
they have the swipe to call/message feature.
i know the "exDialer" app on playstore does the job too.
but im thinking if we can port it then we won't need an "extra app running" in the background all the time.
so what do you guys think?
Yes, but will not working properly.

Its possible. As long as you have root access on both the Sony and the Samsung you can transfer the apk (found in /system/app/) via bluetooth.

The app is designed for Samsung's customized version of android and samsung hardware so porting across to a SONY will bring some issues. I haven't tried it myself but ported apps never work as intended fully.

First of all you need root access on both phones. You also need to install a root file explorer onto both devices. I would also recommend backing up the Sony using flashtool to fix any issues that may arise.
On the Samsung, go to the root directory (/), next go to (system/) then go to (app/). Somewhere in that folder will be the contacts app in APK format. You will need to make a copy of that file and either Bluetooth it to the sony or transfer it via USB/WiFi Direct. Make a copy of the Contacts.apk file in the /system/app folder on the SONY and name it Contacts.Backup.apk. Now you are ready to install, you need to copy the APK you just transferred from the Samsung to that folder. If needed, rename the apk to Contacts.apk and reboot your phone.
If all goes well, you should have the Samsung Contacts app on your SONY. However, I do not own a Samsung nor have I tried transferring apps like these between phones. Do this at your own risk, I am NOT responsible for a bricked device.
There may also be some dependencies in that folder which are needed for operation. I would suggest transferring any app with the word contact(s) in the title.
If this helped then please leave a "thumbs"
-James
i know i need to transfer and install the relevant apks for the apps i want..but im saying do i need to modify the apk in someway so that they can be "installed" on other manufacturer's device? because once i tried to install htc stock apk on my sony, and it just said "application not installed"
HTC apps cannot be install in other device.
U need Sense framework and maybe there are other libs( maybe only in HTC firmware) needed to make the apps run on ur device.
U know, HTC suckss
Sent from my Xperia Miro using xda premium
okay. so in order to run other manufacturer's apps, even if you are able to port it, you need the particular framework and libs. thanks that answered me.

First of all, google qmg to png converter. Find the one that is an an apk. It will convert and put files right on your phone. Only replace the pngs you want to modify so you don't make the apk too big. As far as the dialer background, you need to write the background in in your styles.xml. it has gotten a little harder on 4.4.4. Look for DeviceDefault and stay there.

Put the icons in whatever folder they came out of.. Probable drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi and delete the qmg or astc file with the same name. You have to search for the colors. They are not all in one place.
