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.

Hello,
I did some searching before posting this and have come up with little results that are working for me. I have been able to change my stock icon apps using the method on androidcentral (sorry, can not post links yet). However, trying the same thing with Free Market Apps, I have been unsuccessful.
I am able to get the com.*.*.apk file off of my phone, and can extract the res folder, but after editing and pushing the file back onto the phone, the application is "uninstalled." I believe that I have to sign the apk file again, which I've tried doing with no success.
What I do not understand, is the app Bettercut has the ability to change these Market App Icons, so I thought we should be able to do so as well. If anyone has any knowledge of how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Hey you
Change your graphics. Uninstall the app from your phone, put the edited .apk on your sd card and install it with astro (or another app that installs apk files). If you update from market you'll lose customizations.
Hiya.
Yeah, I tried that, but I keep getting unable to install. I do have non-market apps checked, but still no luck. I'm basically just editing the graphic from the com.*.*.apk file, opeing the com.*.*.apk file with 7zip, placing the new graphic in the res/drawable folder, closing 7zip, then I put the com.*.*.apk file onto my SD card (after uninstalling original app) then use astro to install. Doing this is not working. I thought I might have to sign the apk file, rename it or something. Not really sure at this point.

I got it to work by pushing the .apks back through adb and not using a File Manager. I changed a bunch of my Market icons without any problem. No fc's or install failures.
So say for example you were to change the Market Icon for Spare Parts. I assume you did the following:
Pulled com.androidapps.spare_parts.apk from /data/app
Edited the app_icon.png file within the res/drawable folder
Uninstalled Spare Parts
Pushed com.androidapps.spare_parts.apk back to /data/app
Or did you do it differently?
Thanks again for all the help on this. Not sure exactly what is going wrong on my end.
I never uninstalled the apk. I just drug a copy of the .apk to my computer, edited the image, and then pushed it back over the original one. Im in no way any kind of expert, but it worked when I did it.
Hmm. So are you going into /data/app and pulling the com.androidapps.spare_parts.apk (for example), editing, then pushing back w/ out signing or anything? I assume you are pushing back the same file, name exactly the same and everything.
So for example you would have pulled com.androidapps.spare_parts.apk from /data/app, edited the png within the apk file, then pushed com.androidapps.spare_parts.apk back to /data/app and it worked?
No rebooting, signing or anything?
I'm using Fresh 1.1 with MCK and again, do not have SD card partitioned for apps2sd yet.
Thanks again.
Yep, that's what I did. No updating, signing, nothin. I did reboot after I was all done. And I dont mess around with that apps2sd business either. So it should be the same.

Wow that worked pretty nicely! I was trying to change the little slide bar that moves as you change screens. I kept upzipping the file and modifying it, then rezipping and trying to reinstall. 7zip lets you modify the .apk with out opening it up...glad this subject came up and you answered this!
Ok. Step by step here is what I did just now:
1. adb pull /data/app/com.androidapps.spare_parts.apk C:\Users\Chris\Desktop
2. Used 7zip to open the apk file.
3. Moved my app_icon.png file into the res/drawable folder and overwrote the current one
4. adb push C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\com.androidapps.spare_parts.apk /data/app/
5. adb shell
6. reboot
Doing this did not work. It only made the icon on my home screen for Spare Parts go away, and the app is no longer listed as being installed. I can still see the file in my /data/app/ directory, but it is not installed or showing up anywhere.
Any ideas?

Try pulling the original icon and editing it. Just make it a solid black square. Then put it back in and push to the phone. Sounds like your new icon changes the filesize enough that it needs resigned.
So, I just flashed the serendipity 7 ROM to my phone today, I love it. It's fast and doesn't drain the battery. Infused seem to drain the battery quickly.
Anyway, the power button to take a picture seemed to work this morning, now it doesn't. Is there some way to get it working again? I have installed lots of apps, but I don't think any of them mess with the camera. I installed the samsung quick office, music, clock and video player. (I downloaded the 4, not sure if I installed all of them.) I used the Android Sideload Wonder Machine, not sure if that is the source of the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.
The power button doesn't work to take pictures in S7. I remember reading this somewhere and can verify it didn't work for me after flashing S7. What I did to get it working is:
(FIRST, make a nandroid backup just in case!!)
1. Using your favorite file explorer (Root Explorer for me), go to the system/app folder on your phone
2. Mount the directory as R/W.
3. Rename the camera.apk in this folder to something like camera.apk.bak
4. Find a copy of the Infused v2 ROM, unzip it, go to system/app, and copy that camera.apk.
5. Go back to the system/app folder on your phone, make sure it's still mounted as R/W, and paste the Infused camera.apk into the directory.
6. Change the permissions on the camera.apk to match the permissions of the original camera.apk.
7. Next, mount the system/app folder on your phone as R/O.
8. You may have to delete and remake any shortcuts to the camera app you have on your home screens.
This worked for me and has worked perfectly all day, but I've only used it for a day. I won't swear that it won't mess something up in the future. I have taken approx. 10 photos since changing this with no problems, but you never know. Make a nandroid backup just in case, and save the camera.apk.bak in case it does FUBAR something.
PS: I wrote this as if you're a total noob. If you're not, I apologize. Wasn't trying to be condescending, just thorough. lol

How do I change the permissions?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
If you have root explorer just long press on the file. It should have an option for permissions. The folder that the app is in has to be mounted as R/W to be able to change the permissions. I don't know specifically how to do it in other file managers. If you don't have root explorer yet, it is definitely worth getting. It's the best file manager I've used.
The exact permissions you need to set are:
All 3 rows should have Read checked, only the "Owner" should have Write checked, and nobody should have Execute checked. Make sure the file is already pasted into the system/app folder before you try to change permissions.

If you have root look in system/build.prop/ and change this line (or something similar) value to 0: ro.camera.sound.forced=1 -----> ro.camera.sound.forced=0. Haven`t tried it myself on the N5 though.
you can also delete or rename the sound files in /system/media/audio/ui. The filenames are self explaining and start with camera_ or video_; they are .ogg filetype.
On custom roms yull be able to

You can also switch your phone state to silent or vibrate only. This will kill the noisy camera sound as well.

Exactly those. This is weird, you are rooted on bootloader is unlocked?
How did you move the files?
What is the exact path of the files?
Maybe, if they are still in an indexed dir the media scanner still finds them.
For me this was working on several devices...

I moved it to audio folder instead of UI using Root Browser.
The exact path of the 3 files are system\media\audio\UI
I renamed by adding a 1 in front of the filename.
Thanks!
Another way. Tested and verified on Nexus 5
In terminal when rooted
su
mount -o "rw,remount" /system
cd /system/media/audio/ui/
mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.bck.ogg
Not working when using HDR mode . ?!?!?
i've renamed, moved and deleted all three audio files (camera_click.ogg , focus and video), and i still have the shutter sound when using the camera AND hdr mode.
Why ?
Any progress on shutting the sound on HDR mode?
Ok guys if you want to disable the HDR shutter sound you have do some extra steps.
What you need are:
A computer PC/Mac will be fine. ZIP file explorer software (I recommend 7-zip freeware and rich format support)
Rooted Nexus 5 Debugging Mode turn on
Root Explorer App from play store
1. Launch Root Explorer and local to /system/app/ look for GoogleCamera.apk file copy it and move to SD card partition (I copy to Download folder on SD card partition which is easy to find)
2. Connect the nexus 5 to your pc/mac copy the Googlecamera.apk from SD card partition to your PC. After that rename the GoogleCamera.apk to other name on your phone.(after modifity the apk and load back to the phone it won't replace the original apk incase issues we can alway replace the original apk back to system)
3. Open Googlecamera.apk on your computer with zip software you should see a list of file and folders, open "res/raw" folder you will see few files, search for following 2 files "hdr_plus_capture_done.ogg" "hdr_plus_capture_start.ogg" what you have to do is create a empty file on your computer and rename as this two file name with the same file format. After created the empty file just drag it to the apk file that we open with the zip software. When it done you should see two file with 0 byte.
4. Copy the modified Googlecamera.apk back to the sdcard partition location. disconnect the phone from your computer.
5. Launch the root explorer on your phone and copy and paste the modified Googlecamera.apk back to /system/app/ also please remember to change the file permission to rw-r-r. open the apk and click install (it will end up Not installed)
6. Reboot the phone and open the camera app and test shot with HDR+ mode it should be silent now.
Enjoy.

Tried this; when I try and install the apk I get "X App not installed"
that is normal cause all the system app will not installed they are boot loaded. Actually I tested even you not install just go for reboot it will work too

Thank you, but i don't have the skill to do this.
First, you need ROOT access to do this. It will fix the security force-close and enable the uninstall of apps.
1 - Download FIXV2 here - http://d-h.st/gMh
2 - Extract the file to your desktop and copy the files inside "FIRMWARE\IMAGE" folder to your phone.
3 - Download root explorer from play store and move those files to the firmware\image directory located on your phone.
4 - Long press each file and set permition to RW-R-R (0644) (You do this by selecting OWNER to read and write, GROUP to read and OTHERS to read.
5 - Reboot and try accessing settings.
Thanks to ferreinf for the link and how to do it, I just tried to do this as much newbie proof as possible.
have seen this problem in numerous ROM threads(haven't myself run into this), thanks for the heads up :thumbs up:

No, it has nothing to do with what you want and there's absolutely no point in doing what wanna do either. You can not reclaim the free space to yourself and that would yet prevent you from installing OTA updates. The best way around this is to unable the system apps you don't wanna run.

Worked for me to get the nexus g+ rom working fully... used root browsed in ROM Toolbox to copy the files to the relevant folder off root, and set all the permissions to rwx.
I noticed some people were interested in installing the Stock Samsung browser on the Verizon S6 variant so I figured I'd make a little tutorial on how to do just that.
Steps:
1.) You'll need to download the stock Samsung browser files. This can be done here.
2.) Install Root Browser from the play store. (Obviously make sure you grant it root permissions)
3.) Find the Samsung browser folder you just downloaded from Mega and unzip it. The end result will be a folder named "SBrowser_3.0.38".
4.) Copy this unzipped to your /System/app folder.
--Now we need to change the permissions so that the android system can recognize these newly placed files--
5.) Set the permissions as follows: (To set the permissions, you need to press and hold on the name of the folder or file you wish to edit, then click "Permissions") See screenshots
SBrowser_3.0.38 - rwxr-xr-x
lib (folder) - rwxr-xr-x
SBrowser_3.0.38.apk - rw-r-r
arm (folder) - rwxr-xr-x
libsbrowser.so - rw-r-r
libsecv8.so - rw-r-r
libUCProxySDK.so - rw-r-r
libUCProxyWTF.so - rw-r-r
libwbs.so - rw-r-r
6.) Exit and reboot.
Once you've done this, android will boot up with the "Android is upgrading..." screen. The "Internet" apk should now be in your app drawer.
If this helped, please hit the "Thanks" button!
*Note - I have not figured out how to enable the fingerprint scan for password entry. Not sure this is possible for our variant at this time.
Troubleshooting
If the app appears in the app drawer but force closes itself when you try to open it, you are either missing some files, or you didn't set the permissions correctly. Look at my screenshots and make sure the file sizes and permissions are correct.
If no app appears in the app drawer when you reboot, you probably didn't unzip the file before you pasted it in the /system/app directory. Remember to extract it before you copy over the files! You should have copied the "SBrowser_3.0.38" folder, not the "SBrowser_S6_alemtro" zip.

Quite honestly, I was told that the smart manager is a bit of a battery hog and that an app like "Clean Master" does essentially the same thing so I never went about getting that app myself. But from looking at the directions I would just say to make sure you are putting it in the "/system/priv-app" folder instead of the "/system/app" folder and just make sure the permissions match those of other files and folders in that directory. I have heard some people have had success with it so it can be done.
Thanks for the tutorial, I didnt have a problem with setting permissions. But good to see I did it right. Any idea how to install smart manager? Put it in app/priv folder. Set permissions but not working.
Works great! +1

I got Smart Manager to work. I just followed the same permissions as the browser. Worked like a charm.

Did you put it in /system/app or /system/private

It should go into /system/priv-app

Appreciate the info. That's what I did, but it will not work for me. Where did you get the apk and associated files?

What I did was follow the exact instructions on how to install the browser. Same permissions and everything. I got the apk from the same thread as the browser.

I noticed some people were interested in installing the Stock Samsung browser on the Verizon S6 variant so I figured I'd make a little tutorial on how to do just that.
Steps:
1.) You'll need to download the stock Samsung browser files. This can be done here.
2.) Install Root Browser from the play store. (Obviously make sure you grant it root permissions)
3.) Find the Samsung browser folder you just downloaded from Mega and unzip it. The end result will be a folder named "SBrowser_3.0.38".
4.) Copy this unzipped to your /System/app folder.
--Now we need to change the permissions so that the android system can recognize these newly placed files--
5.) Set the permissions as follows: (To set the permissions, you need to press and hold on the name of the folder or file you wish to edit, then click "Permissions") See screenshots
SBrowser_3.0.38 - rwxr-xr-x
lib (folder) - rwxr-xr-x
SBrowser_3.0.38.apk - rw-r-r
arm (folder) - rwxr-xr-x
libsbrowser.so - rw-r-r
libsecv8.so - rw-r-r
libUCProxySDK.so - rw-r-r
libUCProxyWTF.so - rw-r-r
libwbs.so - rw-r-r
6.) Exit and reboot.
Once you've done this, android will boot up with the "Android is upgrading..." screen. The "Internet" apk should now be in your app drawer.
If this helped, please hit the "Thanks" button!
*Note - I have not figured out how to enable the fingerprint scan for password entry. Not sure this is possible for our variant at this time.
Troubleshooting
If the app appears in the app drawer but force closes itself when you try to open it, you are either missing some files, or you didn't set the permissions correctly. Look at my screenshots and make sure the file sizes and permissions are correct.
If no app appears in the app drawer when you reboot, you probably didn't unzip the file before you pasted it in the /system/app directory. Remember to extract it before you copy over the files! You should have copied the "SBrowser_3.0.38" folder, not the "SBrowser_S6_alemtro" zip.

I've managed to get the FingerPrint working for autocompleting on the Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge, and posted it over on the app thread there. If you'd like me to get it working for the regular S6 send me the SecSettings2 folder within system/priv-app.

It's been posted over here: XDA Thread Link. Let me know how it works for you!
What are the pros/cons of using the default browser over Chrome?

You only put it in system priv-app?? Not in system/app?? Also did you delete smart manager providers folder or did you leave it alone? As I. System priv-app there is 3 folders, smart manager, smart manager sdk. And smart manager providers. Thanks

Make sure the permissions are exactly like it is for the browser. As for Viper, I haven't installed it yet. Haven't had time. Did you try rebooting after you made the changes? It should say updating apps.
I'm convinced that smart manager just will not work on some versions. Dunno why, but it won't. I have tried everything I can think of..no go
