Requesting S3 Alarm Clock APK

After rooting my S3, I got a little over zealous uninstalling all the bloatware. As such, I mistakenly deleted the alarm clock (ya know, the one that works with S Voice). Does anyone have the apk for the stock touchwiz alarm clock? The only downloads I can find are modded versions ported for other phones.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to download a stock rom and search the zip. Normally they are located in the \system\app directory. Make sure you match permissions with other system apps.

I downloaded "BeansStockR3.1". Since I am a new member, I can't post a direct link, but it was the only google result when searching for exactly that. Also, I PMed you a link directly to the ClockPackage.apk.

Do you mind PM'ing me a direct link to the ClockPackage.apk?! =D
I typically put all these apk's in a box or dropbox account. Comes in handy for sharing with friends n stuff.

Here's a dropbox for 4.0.4 ClockPackage

And if needed the 4.1.1 from JellyWiz Rom

Hi there, this is how i fixed my alarm problem
firstly download the clock apk relavent to your phone, i think that there are 3 different ones provided in this thread.
Secondly you need to download something from the play store called "Rom toolbox pro" its £3 but if you ask in the forums here someone can probably point you to a free one that does the same thing.
make sure your phone is rooted, install and run Rom toolbox pro. click on Root Browser, navigate to where you put the APK on your phone, copy and move it to root/system/app. Once you have moved the apk find it in the app folder, click and hold it for a couple of seconds. A menu should popup with options, click on "permissions" set them so they are like this. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2pphiyo&s=6 If you are using a different app you will need to set your permissions accordingly, yet again im sure there is someone on here clever enough to help with that.
Now just restart your phone, the APK will run on boot.
These are the exact steps i followed and they worked for me. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2h353dl&s=6
I hope you have the same luck

Thanks for the reply omarilzz.
I've tried several dialer apps (from Apps store) but they all access Phone.apk (Phone v4.1.1-eng.root) or TelephonyProvider.apk (Phone/Messaging Storage v4.0.4-eng.root)
I guess this is due to some permission issue with TelephonyProvider.apk but not sure.
I've also re-stored all backup data using Titanium Backup, but its the same, cannot make calls....

Yeap, I'm on Omega 3.0 right now. The first thing I do with every rom is to delete the camera sounds.

good enough.... tell me if there are any problems... i have been using it for one day now and it is bugfree here... i do not use the panorama and stuff... but there were more sounds present than only the focus and focus error... i have muted them all so should be perfect.

Also on Omega 3.0 and working fine so far! :good:

Nice. I'd completed this mod myself when I got my s4 shortly after release, but never got around to testing it (did the same thing for my s2 back in the day). Got distracted trying to turn it into a vrtheme to make it compatible with 'all' version of camera (this way it replaces the resource files in apk and keeps that current version of camera installed). It's still just sitting in a couple of folders somewhere on my server....
(However, I think apk version means you should be able to push with adb without requiring root??)

I'm on a bell i9505 and it crashes on me after 3 seconds of use
Unfortunately I screwed up and my backup of my stock aPk was unsuccessful
Can someone please give me the stock aPk for the camera or tell me how I'd go about fixing my camera app

Couple of options...flash your rom again (extreme!) or just replace the modded apk with original apk. Some roms include updated camera software (not sure if there has been an update, but you never know) so best to get apk from the same rom version you are currently running
Also, need to make sure rom is deodexed (you could try deleting the associated odex file and see if crash stops)

I have only having it confirmed on ME2 deodexed.. That's why I need people to try so I know

Btw. If you get your backup or an apk working... You can send me that file and I can mod it for you and see if that works

I use Tasker to set the phone to vibrate or silent mode when the camera app is active. Works like a charm, and I don't have to mess with custom software. I wouldn't even have to be rooted, if I weren't already.

we all know that... it has been said before... this is just so you dont need to do anything afterwards
i got pissed by turning the volume off and on constantly... thats why i did this.. and i could have used a profile.. but i thought this was a permanent fix for use in other roms and such but thanks.

(this works in my head...) You use a vrtheme (flashable zip) that replaces the ogg files (resources) in the apk with silent ogg files (vrtheme usually replaces the image resources so that you can change the look of apps such as what you see HERE)

oh... i did it manually by decompiling.. well... i cant see why it would make it compatible with other roms..
an example.
i hate the clock and alarm app in samsung.. but love the sony one... i cant install it on my samsung... so i need to port it.. but the thing you said there.. would not do the trick... there must be something else, an identifier of the phone or something.

[Q] Crashes on 'sign in as guest'/'sign up' tap

Hello, I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S4 running the Google Play ROM found here, with my kernel on permissive. When I open the app, it crashes if I hit sign up or sign in as guest. For what it's worth, old airdroid worked perfectly on this rom. Switching my kernel to enforcing changes nothing at all. Clearing cache, reinstalling, and other simple diagnostic options don't help.
Any suggestions or is this an issue with the app?

XTRONS Launcher - Name?

Can anybody tell me which Launcher XTRONS is using for their Headunits with Android 8.0 and where to get it from? (see attachment)
It's my favourite one and I would like to use it with a Custom ROM.
Thank you!

Here you are. I've extracted them especially for you from the Malaysk ROM. The launcher you are looking for is the GS one
P.S. It could be that you also need the widgets. Ask me again if so.

Great, thank you!

PS: yes, please also give me the Widgets - THANK YOU!

thank you, but I can only find the widget for the HCT launcher - or is it the same as the "GS" launcher? (the one that I am looking for)

HCT is the software developer of different Android head units like HA, GS, KGL, LM, KLD, ... The software installed on the units is the same, only the launchers are different. That`s why this apk is called HCTwidget_GS.apk. GS is Xtrons (seller).

Hey Guys,
thx Oberbergler for the upload, but it doesnt work for me and my friend.
The installer just says that he cant install this program. (Launcher3_GS.apk) @erdloch
Did u had any success with the installation?

That's a package name problem because all hct launchers in Android 8 are using the same package name. You have to uninstall the stock launcher of your ROM first.

I had no chance to try it yet, but will probably do this today or tomorrow.
Maybe a stupid question, but what happens when I delete the stock launcher? Do I still have an interface where I can install the Launcher3_GS.apk? Do I get the "standard" Android launcher?

Thx for the answer.
I've uninstalled all the launchers in the system apps including Launcher3, except the LauncherLM. That's the only launcher remaining on my device.
And i still can't install the Launcher3_GS.apk
Do you know where I've could went wrong?

I have the same problem as waxjee...any suggestions?

I have the same problem and I don't know how to solve it. We need an app with different package name, but I don't know how to compile it.

You could try changing the package name by editing the AndroidManifest.xml file using apkstudio. I use version 4.0.3 and have done with other apps that I need original and modified versions installed on the same deviice and it works great.
Change the package name (Usually top line "package=")
Save
Build
Sign
Then copy to your device and install
The save, build, sign are all buttons on the toolbar, and I have found it works a treat.

Hello,
wanted to ask if someone has already solved the problem, the GS Launcher to install and if he did it how the whole thing works.
Thank you for your feedback

Hi, i found this forum thread after looking for the exact same launcher theme. Im havin no luck installing it, i seem to have no permissions to install it at all. I've yet to try apkstudio, but im completely unable to uninstall the stock launcher, the option is greyed out! Any ideas?

This would also be very useful for me too as I am indeed looking for this launcher. But my unit has not been rooted and have no wish too... can this still be done?

It's an old thread but hopefully it's still alive
I tried changing the package name using APKStudio but somehow I couldn't. Can someone with the right skill set please change the package name for the "GS" LAUNCHER located in the first page and uploaded it back here. Thanks a lot!

any one had any luck with this?

anyone get this working?
