Porting .apk files from One Plus to work on Samsung - General Questions and Answers

I'm not sure how to phrase this, because I tried my best to look up similar questions and I couldn't.
In simple terms, can you guys tell me why an apk from One Plus wouldn't install on my Samsung phone? And is there a work-around to fix this issue?
Thanks.

Some apk requires firmware related features. Some needs to be installed as system file.
It'll help a lot to know what you are porting over.

I'm trying to run the One Plus screen recording app on my Samsung Galaxy S9 (exynos, running a Lineage OS 17.1 custom ROM). I hope that helps.

Those apps are likely system apps and won't work elsewhere unless modified.

That's mostly the purpose of my post. E.g. what modifications would be recommended in this situation.

First, compare the original app of its compatible with the version of Android ln your samsung s9 lineage os. If it's not compatible, then no.
Next check what is the properties granted to the app on oneplus. Grant the same permission. It might even need to be flashed in from custom recovery.
Next, check for required packages that the app is using. Try to port them over as well.
Tbh, why don't you just use a third party app to screen record.

Thanks for the tips. I recognize that it would be easier to download a third party app. I asked this here out of curiosity and for future reference.

Samsung app store apk?

I installed AR 11.1 and noticed the Samsung App Store is not included. I thought I just missed the selector to install it so I reflashed and no option in the Aroma installer. Is there any way to get it?
Thanks

I think that ROM isn't Touchwiz based, so it doesn't work.

Smart Manager

Anyone have smart manager Pre-installed? Does it only come with international phone? I check my system/priv-app I see that I have folder call SmartManager_PROVIDER and in that I have SmartManager_PROVIDER.APK but can't install it. I have ATT note 5.
Yes, it comes installed on the W8 version of the phone (Canada). It's some sort of gimmicky phone cleaner app. I disabled it using Package Disabler. You're not missing out.

This is what I see from file manager.
Have it on t mobile. I like it. Allows you to select apps you want to stop running in the background and its linked to battery stats so only way to see them in settings on the phone.

ATT they removed it. can anyone share the apk file?
@vietnight
the functionality of smart manager is tied to clean master also... so you need both apks installed

Smart Manager is good. It has 4 sections(Battery, Storage, RAM, Security)
Battery section allows you to control battery by bringing all battery related settings together.
RAM section You can choose, which applications should be running or not in back ground,
Storage section - It allows you to clear junk files / unnecessary files (Only this is powered by clean master, though you don't have to install it separately)
Security - brings all Knox security settings here.

Apply theme to Secondary User

Hello everyone!
I have a main and a secondary user in my Galaxy S7. In the secondary user I can't find the option "Themes" under "Settings so whenever I change user I have to wait for a "theme-change" process.
Does anyone know how to enable "Themes" for the secondary user?
Thanks,
Bruno
Anyone?

I just tried it out and unfortunately it seems that Samsung thinks that other users don't need themes. Which means that unless a custom rom allows to use themes on a secondary user, there is no way to do so on an official Samsung rom.

I'm already using a custom rom, rooted, etc etc. I know this is expected behavior, just hoping someone could come up with a workaround.
Thanks anyway

I do have the mate 9 in moonlight silver US version. I just recently unrooted with SuperSu and flashed stock recovery due to not having proper root so we can write to system. I also have a one+ 3t because I do enjoy flashing Roms and kernels, so I have to mate 9 put away until we can do such.

I'm with you bro. Almost shelved my Note 4 which is like the device that will never die with great devs, but the Mate 9, even with partial root to at least use Titanium gets me by with Nova and a few other added apps. (It One 3T is a non-sloucher I can see being a prime device to work and play). I have to admit it is the first phone I have used as a daily without real root since Android 3.x.

It is a great device but I've been rooting and modding since the first T-Mobile G1. I tried to go at it just as is but the itch just got me back. Lol. I'm keeping a close eye on the mate 9 forums like everyday checking to see about progress. If we could get AOSP on this beast I'd be too happy.

Way cool. And the superuser.zip is the item mentioned in the OP, or did you find a way to substitute? I think our biggest hang up was the encrypted partition along with the access controls are the file level (but I'm a big novice on the dev type work.)

Samsung apps only work with Samsung's TouchWiz launcher.

Not the firmware exactly, just the stock launcher and maybe the kernel.
