[Q] How KitKat looks... - General Questions and Answers

Hello!
Maybe this question was asked a million times before, but I'm too tired to search for it, so I'll ask it again. Those that are annoyed by it, ignore it!
I installed CyanogenMod 11 (4.4.3 KitKat) on my Samsung Galaxy S Advance a couple days ago, but... It looks very ugly! Works very smooth though...
How can I change the application "phone" and "messages"? The ones in 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, looked much more beautiful to me than these ones.
Please tell me where to get them and how to change them. And if I change them, will the phone's performance be affected by them in any way?
I'd appreciate very much for all the help.
Thank you in "Advance"!

Really? Everyone is saying "post in the Q&A thread, post in the Q&A thread"...

you are likely being ignored as you suggested.
you could get the stock apps out of a jb rom and switch them with the kk ones. but i cant say for sure it will work because they may not be compatible.
alternatively, you could get apps from the market to use in place of the kk ones.
i prefer dw contacts and phone dialer for the phone, but dont replace the messaging app, so your on your own on that one.

Thanks for replying. Hmm, so it's actually difficult to change them. And the best way is to download another one from the app store...
I'll take it into consideration. But I'll wait for more suggestions on this. Maybe...

i never said it was difficult, but its going to require a little effort to go get the old app you want, then replace the one you have with it.
if you could get someone on jb to pull and post the apps for you that would cut down on 1/2 the work. but there is still no guarantee it will work anyways.

btw, thre is no other easy way. you replace the app or get one from the market, those are your only options, other than going back to a jb rom completely.
edit, well unless you can find a themed app to flash, that is the only other way.

Ok I understand. When I said "difficult", I meant that it won't be compatible/it won't work...
I'll see what I can find on the app store.

Hi again.
I didn't find anything to my taste in the app store. And the apps that I wanted to instal, I can't. For some reason CM11 doesn't let me install .apk files. Not even with "unknown sources" checked.

You can't install system apps like that. You need to manually move them into system/apps, fix permissions, then reboot.

You need to change the permission of the entire folder first to r/w.
If you use root explorer its easy. There is a little box at the top of the folder to tick and change from r/o to r/w.

I managed to give it root permissions, copied the files into the system\app folder, rebooted...they don't work.
I needed to replace the CertInstaller.apk for them to work, but doing so, I would lose the current apps. Didn't let me change that file though. And I don't know how to compile/merge the new one and the old one into a single file.
So, I'm pretty much stuck with what I have, being an average android user...
Thanks anyway!

You can probably find someone who has made a port of it on google, no promises though. Also imo the kitkat dialer is a lot more functional...

I'm not really sure what the app you want is, and what exactly it does.
Can you provide a better description and maybe we can come up with an alternative?

Oh! I totally misread his request, I thought he was on an NS looking for something from the Epic.
The app in the drawer is the DownloadProviderUI.apk file. If that doesn't work for him, not sure what to do.
Maybe he needs the odex files as well...

Sorry to bring back an old topic, but this didn't work for me. I put the downloaded memo.apk file in /system/apps then I changed the permissions to the specified permissions(read for owner, group, others. write for owner).

I did read through your tutorial and as far as I can tell, I did everything that you said... and I just confirmed that I do/did have Unknown Sources checked. The only big exception to your process is that I just downloaded it straight onto my phone, then used the file manager to move it into /system/apps.
Another question for you, if I wanted to have both the browser that came with my rom, AND the browser from 2.3.6, is that possible? And how would I go about doing that? I tried just changing the filename, but it failed to paste when I did that.
We don't have CM9. Check your phone model number under the battery. This is for the SGH-T959V. And if you mean CM7 - though that was released 4/21 - that is why it won't work. Find an alternative in the playstore.
Same answer for browser.

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize I was under a specific phone section, I have the SGS2 (SGH-I777, AT&T version). I guess I'm incorrect in assuming that the .apk file needed is the same for all versions of the phone? And I wanted this memo back because I had backed up my memo's before flashing, but I am unable to get these memo's back without re-installing the same memo app, since the files were saved as .smm (Samsung memo file). And plus, I liked that memo app better than any others that I have found in the app store thus far.
You will fid your answers in the SGS2 forum.
Sadly, I've been unable to find the memo.apk file in the SGS2 forum...
You can generally download a rom that has the apk you want and extract it, then push to your phone.

[Q] Some APKs from Appstore

Hi guys,
I am looking for some APKs from Google Play that aren't available in Germany and that aren't compatible with my HTC Desire HD. I was wondering if anyone would be so kind and download the App from Appstore and upload me the APK. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The Apps in question are:
hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hti.activity
hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gm.chevrolet.nomad.ownership
hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gm.gmc.nomad.ownership
You can find the apk Path on the device by typing
pm path com.hti.activity
or
pm path com.gm.chevrolet.nomad.ownership
or
pm path com.gm.gmc.nomad.ownership
inside an adb shell. After that you can pull the apk with
adb pull [path]
no root required.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with that.
Best wishes

AT&T Visual Voicemail APK Request

Guys/Gals,
When I first purchased the N5 I was able to install AT&T's Visual voicemail directly from the playstore - I know, I should NOT be able to - but for some reason I can.
Yesterday, I decided to flash a ROM and install apps from scratch and I forgot to do a Titanium backup of my ATT VM.
Now, I think AT&T caught this and now I can no longer install it directly from the Playstore saying that my device is not compatible.
It also looks like they updated their software last December 5 so maybe I think that changed it.
Is there a way to get the latest AT&T VM APK for my Nexus?
Thanks
This may not be the latest but works but was uploaded in august. http://d-h.st/Osr

I've never tried scanning the QR code before... when you scanned it did it download? If so, just click on the Downloads app in your app drawer or use a file explorer, and tap on the downloaded file to install it. If it didn't download then just click the link and when it's done downloading, just tap on it from your notifications shade and it'll install.

It won't show up in the market for me on my N5, even under My Apps so it won't update. I wouldn't worry too much about updates though because they are almost never bugfixes. Just adding more supported devices. But I have no problem posting updated apks, just don't rely on me to remember lol.
