Samsung Messages on Pixel 3a? - Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers

Is it possible to run the Samsung Messages app on non-Samsung devices? I found a lot of APKs you can download, but none actually open once installed. Did a bunch of Googling and found absolutely nothing. Anyone know? Thanks!

No, you need the Samsung framework for Samsung apps to work

And there's no way around that?

It's a Samsung app for Samsung phones. So, no.

What about XMLPAK or some other crack/mod? I just feel this is a very limited response.

Ok, then compile a custom rom with the Samsung framework.apk and Samsung res.apk. Flash that and then install all the proprietary Samsung apps you want.

Flipboard not compatible??

I just bought my note tonight and am installing apps and noticed Clipboard is not compatible for my device. Short of a custom Rom, is there a workaround?

Here's a link to one on this site, not sure if its the same one I used (also from xda) but I have Flipboard running on my Gt-n8010. It was running a little oddly until it updated now runs good. Make sure you have an installer, pop on sd or extsd and you a good to go.

anybody been able to get this to work on the Verizon Moto X? I tried copy + pasting the files in, but it doesn't recognize the launcher
Use this. Extract and install apks.
Have to use moto home screen but worth it for the real circles widget.

razr m launcher have some laggggg ! from the droid ultra... there are no lag !
Yea def don't want the RAZR M one... The new one is way better. Anyone figure out how to get it installed?
Thank s for sharing
But Is there some ways to use this without Flashing this into my device?
I recalled that there used to have apk version for this during the 4.1 period, you just need to install 4apk, and root the phone, then it is all done.

I was finally able to get it working on my Verizon Moto X. I installed SafeStrap that hashcode released, as discussed in the general section, then just flashed the zip via safestrap recovery and it works perfect
so whatever you do, don't flash this to a slot that is running a backup of stock. Bootloops so restoring yet again......
in safestrap that is

I researched in internet we need the launcher (homeconfig and home screen), widget circle and weather the droid ultra for work in the moto x.
Is there someone owner the droid ultra for port to us?
Like this

Extracted and installed all four apk. And I believe this is the launcher that should have came with this phone.

Jelly Bean 4.2 camera & Gallery apk

Here's the standard camera app from jb , comes with photosphere which works with our phone.
Must be flashed in recovery and you will still have your moto camera app.
The advantage to using this is there's a actually shutter button on the screen which allows you take pic much quicker

Also allows you to take photos while recording video

You have to have a rooted device? The apk was also made available on Droid Life but I'm pretty sure they said that it replaces your camera and gallery app

I don't think it can replace your original camera app... at leat not just like that, because it's a system app. I'm pretty sure you can have one copyrunning from system and another one along with the rest.

Didn't notice that was a flashable zip. Just installing the apk (link in the other thread) works just fine. Just tried it myself. You do get 2 gallery icons, though, since you have it installed twice (one in each partition).

Well, for anything other than Photosphere, I'm still more leaned to use Moto's camera app, you know? I like the slow motion vid, the layout... and I'm not even sure if I'm getting 10.5mpx with the stock Android camera app... which doesn't matter for Photospheres, but for everything else, I'd rather keep .
Moto camera definately comes with more options, for those who want the money shot in slo mo , moto camera it is

I know there were libs for the 4.2 camera which was a pain, but wasn't the 4.3 GPE one just install and go? At least with some devices...

I have no idea, but almost positive there's probably and apk for 4.3 camera that installs in an unrooted device. Let me check my other 2 phones that are running jb 4.3
Its a system app so it won't install
Found this and it seems to install as a standard apk

Viper4android Sound Equalizer

Well I was tired of the moto useless equalizer with no real customization.
So I just downloaded Viper4android on my moto running KitKat 4.4.
It works fantastic actually better than it did on 4.2
Here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Before you install stop audio effects and disable it
Then install viper4android fx
It will ask for root permission
Install high, medium or low battery use and rebooT
IRS , these are preset sound filters found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439254

not sure what the reason is, but after I installed viper4android, my "audio effect" app would crash whenever I open it. I forgot to turn off "audio effect" before I install viper4android, and now I cant even open up "audio effect". Does freezing the audio effect app turn it off?>

I can't stop it since everytime I run it, it says android system fcs for some reason. So I just froze it. I hope that also stops it as well.
So, I have been using this and love it. However, I have noticed that if I have music playing through Spotify or some other application, the MotoAssist feature will not read out my text messages. If I turn off Viper4Android and don't have Spotify going while driving, the program reads off my texts without any problems. Can anyone here verify this?
I love Viper but I wish the Moto X sounded like my nexus 7 that I have dash mounted. There are more tweaks in Viper on the Nexus. Sounds good on the X but doesn't come close to the Nexus.

Please explain how there are more tweaks in viper 4 android on your nexus device. The V4A app is a single app there is not a special one made for a nexus unless you choose different ui settings within the V4A app all tweaks are the same no matter what device you use it on so please enlighten me. Very miss leading comment you have made.

I will post some screen shots. When I installed the Viper driver on the nexus it asked which chipset I had. I chose the correct one and it gave me about 3 times as many tweak in the settings.

The installation no longer asks what kind of chipset you have. It now only asks the quality type you would like (Extreme, super, or high). I'm really hoping here that someone can speak to audio being muted through Moto Assist when using V4A. Anyone?

In your other post, you mentioned turning off V4A and Spotify fixed your problem...any chance the problem is caused by Spotify and not V4A?
I can't offer any insight to the problem since I'm not rooted yet, but I miss V4A from my Galaxy Nexus days and it's the main reason I want to root...however, if it really is V4A that's causing Moto Assist issues, I might think twice.
Thanks.
Anyone can confirm if Moto Assist reading of texts works with this or not, or if that experience up the thread was more a problem with Spotify?

Installing galaxy s5 software on s3

You can't install a software from another device/model on yours. It'll brick it. I think your friend is lying as well? My apologies if its legitimate but I just checked and found no software for s5 working on the note 2

For S3 See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-blekota-s5-lite-beta-4-5-1-t2752331
This Called searching
If you find an individual APK to install, you might not brick your phone. I've been trying to find the S5 camera app for my S2. It didn't work, but it didn't brick it.
@jorandobnl
I did. I searched for many look a like roms but i wanted the same thing..not just a theme or a really close one..
Thanks for the help anyways

Apparently Kitkat OTAs for the Galaxy S3 include the S5 theme
You just need to edit your device name in the build.prop file
