Hello, trying to debloat the phone I've removed the clock thinking that the android stock version had the same functionality. It did not. So, in order to get that back, I'll have to re flash the ROM but im too lazy to do that.
So, having the system partition file of the ROM, how can I mount it on Ubuntu and recover the APK of that app? And where is stored inside that image?
Or, it will be even better if someone can help by uploading the clock app apk from the global MIUI so I can use that instead of having to unpack it from the image.
Thanks

Hello everyone, I hope I have posted in the right section, I have to ask you a question that despite several hours of trial and research remains to me: I was going to download the firmware official google nexus 7 and take the apk that interest me, and install them on our tablet 7plus.
I downloaded the version both deodexed and odexed of the google nexus 7 and I extracted, for example, the contacts.apk DEODEXED from it.Installing the apk android ics stock tells me: error with the analysis of the packet. I also tested with version odexed putting the apk file and the odex file into the folder system / apps but also restarting did not work ...
1) it's possible what I want and for example it's possible to install another launcher (ex. launcher.apk stolen from google nexus 7 stock deodexed) like a normal apk and use it just pressing home button and selecting it instead of touchwiz launcher?
2) if yes can you explain me the procedure?
3) do you know where I can find the backgrounds stock once downloaded any ROM (which gives me the compacted system folder plus other img etc etc?
Thank you in advance .... sorry for my english, i hope you have understood my intention : I'm going to replace the application of our contacts and launcher tab with those of the google nexus 7
See you soon, Andrea

I don't think you can just copy over a system apk from one device to another without porting it which I cannot help you with. Same thing goes for the launchers they too would need to be ported over. You could try and use something like apkManager to decompile the app then make the necessary changes to it, i.e. resolution, device name, etc, etc,. then compile it. I have no experience doing this with apps and you might find some help by digging around in the main android development forum, not the one for this device the main one.

From CM Gapps page it says
It is possible to perform a "backup" of the Google Apps on your device and then "restore" them, but this does take additional steps which are not covered here.

I'd like to know how can I do this.
I've searched all across the forum but had no luck. It looks like some kind of trade secret.
I know that it's not just a matter of pulling the apk files. Because I can see that the zip has .apk, .jars, .so, configuration and certificate files.
I'm guessing this is done by extracting the files from a system.img.
But how is this done?
Is there some script available to build a gapps zip from a system.img file?
Another thing is that my OnePlus phone doesn't has an official LP update yet (although CM12 and their gapps work fine) so I suspect this would have to be done using the stock ROM of another device, maybe a Nexus. Is this correct?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Hi, I need the LWP for Android 4.2.1 apk and or a zip file for this as well to try to flash from recovery.
I can't seem to get the one I'm using to work, just keeps sending FC messages when I try to enable a wallpaper...
I guess it's not the right one for my Android version?
Or, maybe I have to flash a zip file for it to work?
Help!
Thnx.
Hello There,
I downloaded official Oreo Pixel image in order to extract the LatinIME.apk file from it, but I can't open the img files with 7-Zip, I believe they must be encrypted or something...
Where can I find the Oreo ASOP keyboard ?
I'd like to install it on my Xperia XZ1 Compact (On Oreo as well), I can't live without it since Gingerbread !
how to unpack system.img on windows
how ro unpack system.img on linux
These are basically how you mount a system.img. They are actually a packed partition that you can mount.
And, as far as I know, pixel and nexus devices have Gboard as default keyboard which you can download from play store, not the LatinIME.apk. If you would like to find LatinIME I would suggest you to unpack a AOSP Oreo ROM.
I've been on the exact same page (the first one, regarding unpacking on Windows) before posting here, but the ext4 unpacker software does not seem to exist anymore. The sourceforge repository is empty...
I face so many roadblocks just to get this tiny LatinIME.apk file, it's now getting on my nerves !
Well, I managed to get it installing LeneageOS (Oreo) on some old phone that I have at home.
So I successfully transferred the LatinIME.apk to my XZ1 and installed it, but it forces closes when it should popup :crying:
Any idea ?

Tutorial on how to get log
You don't need to have a rooted phone to get logs.
I am starting this topic to find out some basics information's about apk files and how modify launchers apks before install them.
I use ClassyKitchen to export apk from some roms which have different deisign.
When I try install that apks to my rom (PX6 RK3399 with Android 10) I get an error that cant be installed.
Etc I am trying to install the apks from this rom but I cant.
Has anybody knows what I have to do to the apks files to make it work?
Also can I use a program to remove from the layout of a launcher some widget before I install it?
Thank you so much.
