S5 Working apps on Grand 2 Kitkat !!! - Galaxy Grand 2 Themes and Apps

these apps are work 100% (I've only tried on G8 XXV firmware) :
1.Dialer (After install the Contact, it automatically turn into s5 skin , I guest )
2.Contact
3.Music
4.File manager
5.S voice
6.Launcher (My favorite app :victory but can't change the wallpaper in the launcher ( just open the gallery and change )
And gotta be update more
Instruction :
1 Go to this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/themes-apps/ultimate-s5-mod-one-stop-s5-mod-t2846377 and download the link of the zip ( just copy and paste ).
2. Extract the zip and copy the "app" and "priv-app" into any file in your Grand 2.
3.Install any kind of root file manager (I recommend the Root explorer , it's easy to use )
TO INSTALL THESE APPS, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION BELOW, ALL OFF THESE APP MUST SET THE PERMISSIONS TO WORK :
1. For the Dialer and Contact, open the Root explorer, safely backup your "SecContact_Osup.apk (and .odex)" and the " SecContactProvider.apk (and .odex)" . This is my way : copy those file to another file. After that, delete all of those file. Then copy the "SecContact.apk" and the "SecContactProvider.apk" in the zip to your "priv-app" file. After reboot, you'll have both the Dialer and Contact with S5 theme
2.For the Music app, do the same thing to backup the "MusicCommonUtility.apk ( and .odex too)" , "MusicLiveShare2.apk" (and odex) and the "MusicPlayerWT.apk" ( and odex). Then delete all of those and copy only the "SamsungMusic_20.apk" to the "app" file. Reboot
3.Just do the same thing for the File manager ( bakup the apk and odex then delete it and copy the app in the zip).
4. For the S voice, backup the apk, delete it, download the apk below, then copy to the "app" file and reboot.
5. Backup the and and odex of the "SecLauncher3", delete it, copy "TouchwizHome.apk" into "priv-app" and reboot. For themechooser, install the "ThemeChooser.apk" as a normal apk.
To have theme, go to this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711245
If have any bugs, just let me know.
If it work for you, hit the "thanks" button

I'm gonna post the "TouchwizHome", "ThemeChooser", "S Voice" later, just install the other apps

didn't know it was that easy to deodex, but anyway, you don't need to rename app.apk to app.zip, apk's can be opened by any archiver.
so you can just put the classes.dex in the apk.
So, Basically...
So, basically, what you did there was DeODEXed an ODEXed app... Is it correct?
I never knew DeODEXing would be this easy... So I'm quite unsure about this. Can anyone try to do this on an ODEXed app?
Anyone?
I am having one apk which can schedule power on and off your android device..Actually I have got this from Micromax but unable to install it on my HTC one..try if anyone succeeds and let me know please....I have uploaded the apk as well...Thanks and waiting for experts to reply soon...
I think no one has tried it yet..My above power on off scheduler...Try it man and let me know plz....
Does it work? I couldn't fix this problem
very desperate.. pls help

pls I have no idea where I can get the odex file or any of those inside files, the only thing I see when I plug it to my system is only the apk file ..pls is there any software I need in other to view these files
Still unsolved!!!! Please help!!!
Yeah, I got it. It really works on your case. But what if we say, like in my case, that the to-be-installed apps really give the same "App not installed" error (attempting to install Astro File Manager or any other would still be futile), even though they tend to work well on other phones, which means it's just my phone which that's not working. How should I fix this? I've tried almost everything like resetting the app preferences in the App manager. Also, factory resetting the phone is never a good choice for me since losing all the data would be very sad. Please help!

app not installed problem
i was having problem with certain apps and games, i guess this was due to the custom rom.when i tried to install them via play store it said "couldnt install on internal or usb storage". I tried all methods but none could solve my problem. What i did was search were apks are kept in system. it was in the data folder(you need root) and then i put these apks in the data folder where all other apks are installed and manually placed my apks there. Now the apps which i wasnt able to install work like charm. What you do is to place the apk in the folder and then reeboot your phone. On reebooting you will see a shortcut of the applications you just placed. Hope it helps

This worked for me, but you forgot to mention that you need to set permissions to 0644. After I did that, I didn't even have to reboot, the apps appeared in my drawer just like that. Thx, BTW.

I DL'ed your APK, and installed it, only to be told "There was a problem parsing the package. This USUALLY, IME, means that there was a problem during the file transfer, however your apk just will NOT work for me, I tried DL'ing it 3X, 3 different machines, no luck. Sorry, man. NOT an expert, BTW, but I have SOME knowledge.

Again, this is the 2nd time I was logged out on the middle of this post. It is more than infuriating with such a crippled text entry interface.
This page is not right, I'm having to re-author this post when for whatever reason my previous login was no longer valid and my post data was lost?? Also, is there a solution for text entry erratic/jumping-around behavior??
Re: Android; Application not installed on your phone
To my chagrin I have more than a few 'application specific' internet (URL) links/shortcuts to an app whose current version crashes on startup; and I have uninstalled it. Anyway, I would rather that these links run the browser chooser/launcher or something more useful like an unrooted URL-extractor/editor/viewer--Really, Android shows such a basic error without some madness to correct it? Only one star for Dolphin browser : (
Plsssss help
It shows application not installed only for kinguser (root management app). Others all install properly. I TRIED FACTORY RESET AND RECOVERY MOD STILL NO RESULT PLSSSS HELP AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
This "guide" is BS.

first of all, an app only comes with an .apk

AOSP Browser for any ROM

The AOSP Broser APK is here.
installaion Guide:
Use any file manager(viz. ES File manager etc.) application navigate to "system>priv-app"
Now search for the default browser apk and odex file here. For example in LG G2 it is LGBrowser.apk and LGBrowser.odex.
Cut these file from here and paste to some other location. This is the backup of default broswser in case you would like to revert the changes.
Restart the device.
Now you have two ways to install the AOSP Browser First:
General method:
Click on the "apk" and install like evry other app.
If unable to install; check and see if you have checked on unknown resources(under Settings>Security)
System app method:
copy and paste the "Browser.apk" apk inside "system>priv-app"
set permissions as following: Owner- R,W,E; Group- R; Others- R
and you are GOOD TO GO!!
HAVE FUN!!
Didn't work on Sony Xperia Z1C either method. Thanks anyway. Am rooted and unlocked.
I got it working but set permissions to r-r-r

Blackberry home

This is NOT my work I'm only posting a link to the original thread. Fully working! The keyboard is weird but kind of cool.
How I installed. I downloaded every file, I wanted to try it all. then extracted them all to the same folder. Then I copied the priv-app folder into System root/system using FX Explorer (you need root) any root Explorer will do the trick. After that just reboot. With the launcher you can use icon packs as well!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3244542
Don't forget to thank @entrysky for all his hard work.
Mentions that CWM or TWRP Recoveries are needed?
I just extracted the zips then copied the priv-app into System using a root explorer and rebooted. Worked for me, I'm guessing flashfire might work but could take longer to do.
Hope this helps.

Still not quite sure exactly what you are doing here. Each Zip has it's own priv-app folder. What exactly are you combining before putting it into the system folder?
FYI: Flashing zips in order with Flashfire didn't work.
I extracted each one into the same folder, so all the apps ended up in the same priv-app folder as seen in this pic. Then I copied the priv-app folder.
Here is a step by step guide with pictures.
1) download the files.
2) get RAR from Google play. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar
3) open RAR and go to where you download the files, select all the files you want (see first PIC)
4) click the extract button and tick overwrite without prompt. (See PIC 2) then click OK.
5) using a root explorer open the files you just extracted i use FX
6) open the system folder (see PIC 3)
7) copy priv-app (see PIC 4+5)
8) go to your system(ROOT) (see PIC 6)
9) scroll down to the system folder then open it (see PIC 7)
10) in FX there is a padlock at the top to allow read/write click this (see PIC 8, 9 and 10)
11) Go to clipboard then paste select merge/overwrite (see PIC 11 and 12)
12) Long press the middle button on the back of your phone in the middle of volume up/down and select reboot.
13) click thanks

Very much appreciate the effort! Unfortunately, even though I followed your directions perfectly, I still don't have any of the apps. I'm not sure if using flashfire to flash the files previously screwed something up.
That's strange? Did you download 1-4 as these are the main files you need. As you can see its worked for me. Have you tried to fix permissions?
Thank you for sharing. BTW, have you tried BB HUB? also, what about permissions? Maybe I missed but you didnt mentioned anything about it.
I've used the hub its quite handy having all your notifications in one place, also the password keeper is very handy for storing and generating passwords.
Permissions need to be 644 there are apps which will fix it all automatically for you or you can do it manual set to read/write then read and read. See PIC
I have copied resources, productivity edge, services, launcher and hub, but nothing works. Changed permissions for folders and files.. I took only priv folders from zips and coppied to system..
That's strange, i can't be the only one it works for? Did you download the BlackBerry exchange services fixed?

priv folder in fixed zip is empty, no apk inside... btw I extradited it on PC, then transferred to sd.
Strange? I've zipped what I used and uploaded it to my Google drive there is also 2 apps in the app folder I didn't bother with these t.b.h. I've only just noticed them lol. Try extracting the zip the copy app and pri-app into your root system folder let me know if it works? You might have a corrupt download or 2.
