Does anyone have a working My Files apk they could share? I never use the Samsung file manager, but recently wanted to go back to s-note (mainly use repligo) because the pen works better for it. Sadly, Samsung makes you use their file manager instead of a third party like ES, and I deleted My Files already.
I've tried a few other My Files apks from other roms, but never got them working.
Also, s-note does not sync with dropbox, right? I only see Gdrive for cloud storage.

I do appreciate your help. However, I already have found some random My Files apks. The problem is I've had issues getting them to work. I can't simply install from a file manager, or even push to system/app and change permissions. Just don't want to dirty flash...

i would like to backup apps to a .APK file so i can put them on the computer .....TB (titanium backup) doesn't seem to put them in just a .apk so how can i do this?
id like to be able to use "adb install _______.apk" to put apps on a phone all at once without needing to buy TB as i don't have the money....
I just found an app that does that this morning. It's called apkExtractor by Kim Heeseok. I'd post a link, but you need 8 total posts before you can do that.

*sigh* can you put the link in a PM? or just put spaces between the parts so it doesn't register as a link, i can put it back together when i get it.
Here (delete brackets around https and .com):
[h][t][t][p]://play.google[.com]/store/apps/details?id=net.sylark.apkextractor
Edit: Just as a note, inside of the app, a long press of the app you want to export will give you the option to export it as an apk. It will be exported to "/sdcard/AppManager/yourappname.apk".

Titanium Backup
you can download it
Titanium Backup DOES back up apks, they just have them compressed...IIRC, you'll see the appname.apk.gz
You could also use something like ES File Explorer, which has a backup function. Other apps have similar capabilities.

Working great on my AOKP rom.
Pre-reqs: Google Play Store account, Android phone with a mic, apps from unknown sources checked. Also, you will likely need an ICS rom. YMMV if you are on a different Android OS.
1) Download the .rar file from the link.
2) Download ES File Explorer from the Play Store.
3) Open ES File Explorer.
4) Using ES File Explorer, navigate to wherever you downloaded the .rar.
5) Click on the downloaded .rar file.
6) Will open in ES File Explorers in-app ES Zip Explorer.
7) Click on the .apk file.
8) When it asks if you want to install, select install.
9) Voila, there will be the icon in the app drawer, or you can long hold the search button.
Article on the S Voice on the Galaxy Nexus: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/05/20/full-hands-on-with-samsungs-s-voice-for-the-galaxy-s-iii/
For those having trouble with the voiceback, here's something from the article:
Every left-pointing speech bubble you see in the pictures (except for "Say 'Hi Galaxy'" and the initial "What would you like to do") are read aloud with a Text To Speech engine. There's no TTS built in, it uses whatever you have on your phone, which in my case is the dreary default Google TTS. Maybe the GSIII comes with something nicer.

I havent personally looked at it but I'm assuming its an apk in a rar file. Download the rar on computer, open it, plug in your phone, open your system/app folder, put it in there, disconnect your phone, use a root explorer to go to that same app folder, click the apk and install it

That weird for you guys.... i did the one the op provided and i am on nun's aokp and i hear voices fine. If i open certain apps and such it force closes, but for me mostly it runs great.
Works pretty well on my Infuse running CM9. I don't hear it talk as others have reported but it's cool. Not sure how useful it will be but I like the direction we're heading.

Sometimes it'll talk and sometimes it won't. I think it needs more files from the S3. I know it works for sure if you ask for the weather. That's when it'll sound like a depressed Siri. Might be because I live in a rainy city, so the weather is always depressing.
I have only tried using it to open a few apps but it looks like we need the specific S3 app for it to work properly. Taking a picture does not work, opening the camera does not work. But you can get it to check facebook, open facebook, and open the calculator.
Here is a modded version of S Voice.

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

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.
Hi all,
Just thought I would share my ebook app files from the original tab 10.1 that they stopped developing but which gave the best eboom experience on android IMHO. To install you unzip this (doesn't work as a flashable zip). Then you need to remove the myfiles apk from system app (called sec-tablet.my files) and replace it with the one from this zip. Then install ebook.apk as a normal app. Reboot your tab and enjoy!

Hi smegg,
I'm looking for the stock Ebook reader, version 3, for some time now. My tablet is on Android 4.1. So far I found two versions, one ebook,apk worked well but it's version 1.xx. The other one is version 3.xxx, it opens my books but does not show any "ç " or "Ç" (along with other missing accents).
I searched this thread but since it's old, the links are already broken....
Do you still have the tw flasheable version of this app? The app you have is at some 3.xxx versions?
Thank you!
mot sure mate, i'll have a look
Hey smegg,
Very thank you for your reply! Turns out I found a way to fix the newer version's app. I decompiled it and saw that it was using system font, droidserif.ttf. Turns out that this font in my tablet is zero size, more like a placeholder, i don't know...
Since I didn't wan't to mess with these, I opened the .smalli on the apk which called this font (smali\com\samsung\ebook\reader\settings\font.smali) and changed it to Helvetica.ttf. Recompilled it with apktool and gave it a try. Don't have the correct MyFiles,apk so I have to import books by clicking on them from any explorer. Apart from that, it's all working very fine! =)
Hi friends, I was trying a mod to get facebook to sync my contacts which required me to delete contact storage and replce contacts provider.apk in system/priv-app but after rebooting I was getting 'com.android.systemui has stopped' error so i had to go into recovery mode and delete contacts app completely from 2-3 locations like data/data, system/app to get my phone working again but now I am getting force close when I open people app.

No, system apps are all in the rom, not in Gapps.
Hi,
Try to flash the zip in attachment (wipe Dalvik cache just in case) for Contacts.apk. If you have not a custom recovery extract the file, move it to /system/priv-app, set the correct permissions like the other system apps (rw-r--r--) and reboot.
I gues you are deodexed? Because here it's deodexed...
You still have ContactsProvider.apk or not? I put it in the zip file, delete it if you still have it in /system/priv-app.
Or if you have moved it in another locaton, keep it in the zip but delete it on your phone.
The next time don't forget to make a backup...
Here's 442 stock odex of you need it
Thanks, the odex zip worked, it didn't flash but i pasted the 4 files n set permissions and it worked.
Thanks a lot
