Hello I had a question about replacing the download manager on the stock samsung rom with the one from cyanogenmod in an effort to use stock apps. I am indeed rooted, and I have copied both files from priv-app and app directories to their designated locations and also set their permissions to rw-r-r. However, unlike other apps i've installed just fine using this method such as lockclock and gallery, these apps dont appear to be installed after doing this. Are their other dependencies I might be missing that are preventing this from working?
I am on the 4.4.2 stock samsung rom and I am trying to use apps from the m7 cm 11 build based on 4.4.2 as well.
bumping my own thread, if its a simple no you cant no biggie XD
SO after rooting my OnePlus i had to flash install my google apps, unfortunatly the default messenger app that comes stock with the one plus is also gone, this is very important for me because its the only messenger app(from my knowledge) that can be customized with my purchased themes i have. Changing messaging themes does not work on 3rd party messenger applications so i cant download any from play store either! ANY HELP?
No one?
A little more information, please? What ROM were you flashing? What gapps? Etc etc
Wipe, flash your rom that includes stock messenger, install nano pa gapps (google play services and google search), install other needed gapps by google play.

It had only been 39 minutes since you posted. Patience, my friend, patience, we all have lives outside XDA.

okay to summarize, i installed cm-12 on my one plus, after that i literally had 10 apps. i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/par...apps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900
to get all my google services, it does come with a messenger app but it is not the stock one.
I wanted the stock messenger app that comes with the OnePlus it is not in the play-store
hope i can get some help thank you
note its not just the default messenger app i wanted there are some small apps like torchlight that come with the one plus that are great and not 3rd party
Did you make a backup of CM11S before flashing CM12? If so, just restore your backup and you can extract the apps using a root-enabled file explorer.
I think, what he's talking about is the stock 4.4.4 messenger. Just download a 4.4.4 ROM and extract the apk from it, and then install it on CM12.
I pulled the Camera (Camera2), Gallery (HMS_Gallery_GP) and Photo Editor (HMS_PhotoEnhancer_GP) apps from LlabTooFeR's A9 dump (link). I wanted to see if they'd work on my GPE-converted HTC One M8 running Android Marshmallow 6.0 (MRA58K).
Update: I've uploaded a new version that I hope works without needing to flash the APK afterwards. Additionally, at least for me, the Photo Editor is now working, including some of the Duo effects that haven't worked on my GPE for a long time. UFocus and Foregrounder don't appear to be working correctly, but at least they don't FC.
Flashable zip. I use TWRP2. Root is required.
Please note: It's been pointed out to me that the standard GPE image leaves very little space in the system partition. Not enough for the HTC apps, which are sort of large. If you're seeing that the zip isn't flashing correctly, please clear some space on your system partition (removing unwanted System G/Apps), before flashing.
Thanks to Arkaydez for some debugging.
Thanks to danial.aw for pointing out issues with GPE system partition size.
Post back with your experience. I'd like to know if it's working for everyone.
Download (Version 2)
Just flashed, Camera app showed up but force closes. Neither the Gallery or Editor app are installed.

Thanks for giving it a try and feeding back. Feeling like helping me debug it?
Here's my experience when I flash it:
- When the phone restarts, there is a permission request waiting for the Gallery app.
- When you start the camera app, it requests three permissions.
- The applications and their associated libraries are installed to:
/system/priv-app/Camera2/
/system/priv-app/HMS_Gallery_GP/
/system/priv-app/HMS_PhotoEnhancer_GP/
Does your experience reflect that?
Thanks!
2 days ago I just downloaded this A9 camera from Google Play. It installed normally, for first run it asked for permission and work great. But every next open cause FC. Anyway, I think that original camera app from M8 is better, it is also to download from GP and doesn't FC.
I flashed the zip and Apps isnt shown in the menu. So I opened the zip and installed the apk's manually. Camera and Photo Editor gave FC. Gallery is opened but didnt show any pic.
Didnt work for me.
My rom is GPE Android 6.0 - Build MRA58K.H6

You can't install the apks manually, unfortunately. They need to go into priv-app, since they require system permissions. That's what's causing the FCs. If you've installed them, and they're sitting in /system/app, you can move them (root explorer, etc.) to /system/priv-app. Then at least the camera and gallery should work.

Interesting. Unfortunately, for me, when I go to Google Play, it tells me that both versions of the HTC camera (Camera and Camera2) are incompatible with my phone and won't let me install. I assumed that's because it was a GPE. If you download and install from APK Mirror, or install it from the market somehow, I think that it puts the APKs and libraries into /system/app, which will cause it to FC. The camera assumes it's pre-installed into /system/priv-app, and is therefore entitled to system permissions. When it's installed to /system/app, it makes system storage calls, which aren't allowed, and FCs.
That's why I thought the flashable zip would be the way to go.
I was able to avoid all the FC's by 1st flashing your zip and then installing the a9 cam apk from apk mirror. b

Thanks for that. I had previously installed the APK from APK mirror, so maybe there's some secret sauce missing from the zip. Does the Photo Editor work for you now, or does it still FC?

How about slow motion video? Is it working?

hi...what i did was to push the latest camera downloaded from htc apk site, if i m not mistaken link was provided above, into /system/priv-app, and chmod folder to 755 n file to 644 n reboot. after rebootin, i open the camera but it FC. i reinstalled the same apk, n it works ok
I just installed the apk and it works for me
i installed the zip file .and then the file from apkmirror .The camera isn't FC-ing. but it doesn't save any picture when i take one. can it be due to converting my SD into internal ?
also, when i click "reset to default". it starts FC-ing

I'm not sure. Have you tried the new (v2) zip? Did it prompt you for permissions for storage? The camera should have prompted you for 4 permissions, and the gallery for 1.

No. Although I don't know why. I'll look into it.
working great but i guess camera from m8 is much better...maybe cause its designed for our ultrapixel camera....
How different is it from the Sense 7 version?

The beta doesnt work (FC when I want to launch the number pad or search through my contacts) but the stable version 18. Works totally fine
I just installed it from the Play store, along with Google contacts, and set them both to the default. Works fine.

Interesting. You downloaded the Google phone app from the play store? Did you flash the Google framework via TWRP? Because without that it doesn't work
Edit: Or am I missing something here?

Probably worth mentioning that I'm running Leedroid, so maybe that has something to do with it?
What i did was download the Google dialer and contacts for OP5/5T from the magisk app. After you download it get a file manager and extract the whole folder. Go to the system->priv-app and delete the OPInCallUi folder. Than rezip the whole folder and rename it so you know which is which. Go to magisk manager app->modules than click the plus sign on the bottom find your modded zip and flash. I have had this mod since Feb 28 and it has updated from playstore with no issues and works like it should.
Edit: on Leedroid rom current stable relaease.

Hi dear, did you find a way?
The link posted above version v23.0.208561757 works fine for me to get it installed you'll need to uninstall any other version of google phone you have installed
you will need to set it as default, as well as in the app info screen you'll need to give it write over and modify system settings permissions
I've been running it on Stock non rooted 8.0 on my US unlocked U11 since the version came out.
Hello, I am currently making a few software modifications on my rooted Galaxy S9 on which I installed Noble ROM from AlexisXDA to be able to use one ui 4.1 with android 12. Now I’m trying to install One UI 5 apps on it, so I already installed Samsung Messages, Contacts, Phone dialer and Gallery as system apps using Lucky Patcher and everything worked as expected, and these apps simply replaced the old ones. Though, now I am struggling to install One UI 5 files app (aka Samsung My Files 14.x). This app is only supposed to be compatible with android 12L and more recent, but I managed to change the min SDK requirement to make it run on android 12. After I changed the min SDK I installed it as system app using Lucky Patcher and now everything is working until I long press a file which makes the app crash. Digging into android files, I noticed in the system/priv-app folder that the original version of MyFiles was still installed and I can’t delete it. Second thing I noticed, in the original MyFiles folder (in private app) there’s a file with the same name as the apk but the extension .prof is added next to it. I don’t know what this file is but I’m pretty sure this is what makes the original version work fine. So, can anyone tell me what this prof file is, and how I could make one for my custom My Files App please ?
Only for clarity:
Apps stored in /system/app are APKs what are indispensable part of Android OS - user apps has nothing to do there
whereas
apps stored in /system/priv-apps are APKs to be granted system permissions, regardless of the app signature: they at any time can get removed - mostly without any harm but requires Android is got rooted

So, if I understand it correctly it means my version of the app gets rejected every time by the priv-app folder right ? Unlike the preinstalled My Files app which is granted system permissions ?
