So since this device was a samsung device, i thought AOD was a sure thing. But ofc samsung like to remove nice things and its not included with this phone. But i am rooted with magisk and would love to see a port for this! I know its possible since theres a few devices that has this with either magisk or modded apk
There are some third party Always on Displays which you can find on the Play Store.
I'm not sure whether you can find the exact one which Samsung is using. I can send you the original application file but I don't think it will work.

I think they are the same. They are under: "priv-app" in root directory. I suggest you give application file a try by installing it casually.
Ive tried every possible option so far with no luck! Tried manually place in system/priv-app, install apk, edit build.prop etc.. we need this feature! Aynone thats any good with this?

Lately I've been editing all my apps from the market using mixpix404's tips. I just wanted to know is it possible to pull stock apps to edit and if so could someone give me the code to pull and re-install?

It's mixpix405... get it right! jk... but seriously!... jk
As for editing stock apps, I think you'll have to edit an update and flash the update to your phone. In a theme, the stock apps are in the system/app folder... Use 7-zip to open the archive, edit, resign, reflash... I havent tried it, so I can't say for sure it works... And I dont really know how else to do it.
You may just be able to extract, for example, the Calendar.apk from the update.zip, edit it, and then use conventional means (appmananger, astro, ADB, etc) to install it, but I have absolutely no clue.
I wasn't able to find info about this until now. But I need to know how to make the apks I include in a rom removable. I guess, maybe, I have to copy into a different folder instead or /system/app. is it right?
thanks
you have to install it in data directory not in system directory. so data/app
ok, thanks, but, if it doesn't exist, should I create it?
no u should not create it because then it wouldnt be a proper directory for your rom, the rom may not recognize it, i think.
which rom are you on? most rom has a data directory, that is where third party apps are installed and where apps downloaded from the market is also installed
this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556962&highlight=enomther
ok i see what u mean when there's no data directory. what you should test out first is go to market and download an app. then see where that app is install. see if it created a data directory or not. it should...
I had a look using root explorer, and there is a folder in the root called /data/app , and there inside are every installed apk, even the ones I installed by astro...
and there is another one called /data/data where I find folder of every app too
ANd another one called /data/app-private (there I found one apk that I downloaded from market.
I try to download a new one
Yup put your apks in data/app
on a related note, is there any way to flash unsigned ROMs? like if I want to drop .apk 's into the data folder of a rom before flashing?

Hi. I just found out that apk files are kept in the device after installation of the app.
I just recently downloaded a file explorer app and I found out that the apk files of the free games which I downloaded and installed from android market are kept in this folder:
/mnt/asec (I'm using Samsung Galaxy Ace)
There are individual folders for each game, and in each folder are a lib folder and the apk file. For example:
Fruit Ninja folder (which is found in mnt/asec folder) contains a lib folder and an apk file.
Fruit Slice folder (which is also found in mnt/asec folder) contains a lib folder and an apk file.
My question is, is it ok to delete these apk files? Will the games still work?
Also, can I send these apk files to someone else via bluetooth so they may download the apps without having to visit android market?
yeah you can delete the apk file after installing any app for it to still function, I do it all the time. Yes you can send the apk file to your friend so they can install it. If you're still cautious, try doing a trial run with one apk file...send it to your friend first, then delete, see if it works.
The .apk files are like setup files for windows. Once installed, you don't need the apk, especially if you are backing up with Titanium or similar backup program.
follow up question
Hi. Thanks guys.
Is everything from the android market ".apk"? Is it possible that some have a different extension? I downloaded a dictionary app, I can't be sure but I think it's a .zip file.
Thank you.

I tried to delete the apk file. It cannot be deleted.
However, I copied it to my sd card, uninstalled the app, re-installed it using the one already in my sdcard, and it installed just fine.
I still want to be able to delete the apk file that is in the system though (/mnt/asec).
Any ideas or do I just have to deal with it?

I agree with deleting it won't be a problem but sending to a friend?
sometimes I think there would be a message stating that its not sign
correctly.. correct me if I'm wrong Thank You
WillShaka, like I said, I tried to delete it. I can't. Not allowed.
I don't know why. I'm using ES File explorer
not sure if this works but have you tried unmounting the sd and delete?

Also, and I don't mean to veer out of topic (this question is often ignored in Q&A forum), if I use Odin to upgrade my stock firmware instead of using Kies, will it erase all my data? I have a feeling it will...

Yes, you can delete the APK after installation. But the APKs in /system/app/ need to stay where they are to function appropriately

So my daragon city and messenger are in the apk files I don't know if its backed by another zip folder my tablet is the amazon fire so if I deleted the apk files that is downloaded for an android would my appe still work the same
Hello, is there a way to copy a Samsung app (e.g. Email in Galaxy Ace 2) to another device of different brand?

Yes you can. If you can identify the .apk file of a certain application, you can simply copy it to
another device and install there.
This is something I used to do whenever I see my friends mobiles. I will checkout if they have any cool
App. If I like any, I will find out the installation file (.apk extension) and I will Bluetooth/superbeam it to my mobile
and install...as simple as that...
And my easiest way to find the apk file is "just search for 'apk' in file explorer"....

This simply does not work for the Sammy apps they are kinda rigged to the framework .
One must heavily modify the apps to make them work on non Sammy ROMs
This is the reason why non of the sense apps are ported to CM ROMs
sorry for any ty¶°s

That's what I was afraid of.. Because I've tried copying the samsung mail app in different ways to my ZTE (apk copy, titanium backup etc) and none of them did work. I also tried copying the exchange app but no luck either.

And another reason is that the system apps present in stock roms are odexed .
One simply isn't able to port Sammy apps without going full retard

Have you tried direct copy inside system? Since you said you've tried Titanium Backup, it means your device has been rooted right?
Enter your system and change its permission to copy the application there into your memory card... hope it works...
Help, i would like to try and install an app from my government id, so maybe I can go to more places without both wallet and cellphone. Knowing it's a government app, I'm 100% sure it will never make it to a smartwatch...
When I tried to pull the APK from the cellphone, i saw that on the path it had the base.apk and done others, like config_xx.apk, another .apk and one like arm64.apk...
If I shall try and install it to the watch, should I do it on each one of the apks? Adb install-multiple?

So I pulled all apk files from the app to my PC and used this program from here, called SAP (Split Apk Packer).
I was able to get it all into 1 apk, but when trying to install on the watch I get an error. If I don't sign the recompiled .apk with this SAP program I get the "failure collecting certificates". If I check the Sign apk on the program, then I get another error "failed to extract native libraries", as the photo attached.
I'm not an expert at all, I just try my stuff... so if anyone has any idea if it's at all possible, I would really appreciate the help.
EDIT: apparently, this error could mean that the device is not supported, from what I read. Don't know if that's really it though
