[Q] Restore secmemo.apk - General Questions and Answers

Hi to all forum members.
I have a problem with a rom...
I need to restore Secmemo.apk from the rom I9100BlueZ_JellySNAP_v6.0.
In this rom this apk was deleted by default but i love this application and i have a backup of data to restore for it (my old rom was a previously version of android and if i restore application and data with titanium backup the application crash ).
I try to extract it from XWMS1 stock rom, deodex it, put secmemo.apk and secmemowidget.apk in /system/app folder but i don't show it in my apk list.

Porting these to a new phone is hard so take the android version you have and look for other samsung roms of the same version with the memo apk then install that apk and restore the data. A more experienced dev could tell you exactly what to do.

Take the package you initially got then find the apks in the /system/app folder and push those to your phone /system/app and then reboot.

Can only know if you try.
The depenencies on these apks are on the touchwiz framework and stuff like that.
As long as the rom you take it from is a touchwiz samsung rom of the same version of android and the rom you put it on has the touchwiz framework then your fine but try it first.
If all else fails then you could be hacker and decompress the titanium backup zip file for your memo data and use an sqlite editor from the play store to see if you can read the memos that you left.
Or after that you could load the original rom up again and restore it on that or restore it on another of the same rom.(Another phone maybe)

[Q] Take an app from a custom rom

Hi!
I used for a couple of week a custom rom, the Galnet Miui.
Now I like to try an other rom, but I'd like to keep the Galnet's dialer and browser.
How can I get that apps? Is it easy?
Can I just copy the .apk in system/app in the zipped rom from a zip file to other?
And again... the browser is easy... browser.apk... but how can I recognize the dialer?
Thank you all!
Yes copy the apk to system/app, backup First cause the apk may not work properly, that's why I say backup, experiment all you want but once something goes wrong you have a backup plan , so just get the apk you want and push to system/app and install
NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"
Thank you.
But what's the name of the dialer's apk?
make a backup of whole system folder, then you can test one by one =) DialerTabActivity may be?

install apk extracted from other stock firmware or roms deodexed - help

Hello everyone, I hope I have posted in the right section, I have to ask you a question that despite several hours of trial and research remains to me: I was going to download the firmware official google nexus 7 and take the apk that interest me, and install them on our tablet 7plus.
I downloaded the version both deodexed and odexed of the google nexus 7 and I extracted, for example, the contacts.apk DEODEXED from it.Installing the apk android ics stock tells me: error with the analysis of the packet. I also tested with version odexed putting the apk file and the odex file into the folder system / apps but also restarting did not work ...
1) it's possible what I want and for example it's possible to install another launcher (ex. launcher.apk stolen from google nexus 7 stock deodexed) like a normal apk and use it just pressing home button and selecting it instead of touchwiz launcher?
2) if yes can you explain me the procedure?
3) do you know where I can find the backgrounds stock once downloaded any ROM (which gives me the compacted system folder plus other img etc etc?
Thank you in advance .... sorry for my english, i hope you have understood my intention : I'm going to replace the application of our contacts and launcher tab with those of the google nexus 7
See you soon, Andrea

I don't think you can just copy over a system apk from one device to another without porting it which I cannot help you with. Same thing goes for the launchers they too would need to be ported over. You could try and use something like apkManager to decompile the app then make the necessary changes to it, i.e. resolution, device name, etc, etc,. then compile it. I have no experience doing this with apps and you might find some help by digging around in the main android development forum, not the one for this device the main one.

help with addind apk in data/app folder, not working

Hope some can help me out. I'm trying to add app to ROM zip so I don't need to install it manually. Have the ROM install itself when flashing it. I open the ROM zip with winRar and create a folder "data/app." I use Real APK Leecher app to download free app. I place apk in "data/app" folder. Flash the ROM w/TWRP v2.2.2.0 and none of the app got installed.
However, if i put all apk in "system/app" folder, it installed when flashing the ROM.
This is the ROM i use [ROM][S4] Virtuous Ville+ RC-1 | Sense 4+ | JB 4.1.1
Am i doing something wrong that's y "data/app" not install any apk?
thx

I have found adding a folder like that is not that easy which is a shame, think you have to edit something in the META-INF to get it to work but you could just put the apk in the system/app.
thanks Darknites.
Any different by putting in data/app or system/app?
Maybe this is old when i google. I also try to edit something so that "Unknown Source" enable itself when flashing. I google and saw somewhere in xda to edit xml which was locate inside SettingProvider.apk -->res-->values-->bools.xml
lol unfortunately there's no "value" folder in it...

Some apps don't like it for some reason so does need testing. Don't think its that I sure its in the folder I said. Its something I never looked in to because I use Titanium Backup for apps that don't work and/or have settings backed up with it.

Thanks but I've done such experiments before and foreign system files always seem to either cause me bootloops or force-closing on certain apps once the phone starts up.
It's not a problem for me and I'm willing to try because I could make a nandroid backup now, etc, but the problem is I have trouble restoring my sd-ext and all of my installed apps are stored there so a nandroid backup and restore could remove all of my important apps or I'm not sure maybe it won't but I can't take the risk for now.
Please if you could do the procedure I would be very grateful. I've attached my framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar if you decide to do it.

You should post a full method of adding files in framework-res.apk and android policy instead of posting the zip.
SO that other users can use it also.

[Q] Transferring stock apps

Summary: How can I transfer apps from the stock rom (that are stored as.apk and .odex pairs) to my current rom?
Full Story: The stock rom (Gingerbread) for the Samsung YP-G70 has a working fm radio app that I'd like to use with my current rom (CM 10.2). I saved the .apk and .odex files from a stock install to my sd card.
Is this even possible?
If anybody's managed to do it, what're the steps? (the default apps are stored as .apk with a .odex file and xultimate can't seem to handle the files (get "top level error" about missing files and such))
No mate it is not that way....

Already tried that. All the results I'm seeing involve a third party app backup tool (which I've already tried without success), or don't address the mixed apk & odex issue.
no it wont
it wont work as it is odexed .... try deodexing the apk but still i would say it wont work but still u try...
