Has anyone tried to install any of the apk's from the European Galaxy S phone? I am too afraid to try installing any of the ones that replace system programs. I was able to install the Samsung Apps program but it doesn't offer anything for the Epic.

You have to mount /system as read/write first
That link should help

I really appreciate the guidance given, as this is a lil differ3ent than the Evo. Now, when I type Su I am asked for a password...? Anyone know what this is about? I updated the Su and busybox from the market, so binaries are updated.
If anyone knows, plz let me know.. oh and after having a Evo I am proud to own the epic. It is a awesome and amazing device. I can't wait till the tab arrives.

Now you don't have to worry about z4root with the release of my very own
[B]one click root and busybox installer[/B] for the Samsung Continuum.
Essentially what the one click does is root your phone, install busybox, and copy z4root and superuser to /system/app. z4root is included for easy unroot if you ever need to unroot and run the script again.

To run the one click simply extract the zip to your desktop connect your phone to your computer with the usb cable that came with your phone, and open the one.click.continuum folder to find run.bat, click on that and follow the directions.

Anyone looking to theme swype here's a link to do it. Finally found out how to do it after weeks of looking. So thought I'd share with y'all.

Just replace the libswypecore.so in /system/lib/ with this file. Read the thread in the above link if you're not sure how to do it.

No download the app metamorph from the market. This will create a folder on ur sd card called android themes. Put the downloaded zip file in this folder. Open up metamorph and click upzip/create new theme. Then click on the zip file and then apply the theme. Make sure u apply the theme TWICE

I think the creator of that thread assumed we knew to mount /system as read/write....
essentially, all he's asking you to do is move com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk (note, some of you might have: com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk) from /data/app to /system/app and then rename it to Swype.apk so that the metamorph applies itself to the correct apk... here is the exact sequence of commands to do this from adb:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk (or whatever the .apk for your Swype is named) /system/app/Swype.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can do it through terminal emulator as well, you just don't need the first command above (adb shell)
after performing this, if you navigate to your system/app folder, you should see Swype.apk. it is just a renamed clone of your original swype from /data/app... the thing is that the metamorph theme looks specifically in /system/app for Swype.apk, which is why we have to move and rename it. after the morph is applied to Swype.apk in your /system/app folder, simply move it back to /data/app as the name of your original swype apk (most likely com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk) so it overwrites the existing Swype, and theoretically you're good to go. (I say theoretically because it is apparently hit or miss.. maybe it depends on the theme? I'm not sure, but I haven't been able to get the morphs to apply and then have a working swype afterwards)

Metamorph app does not work on HTC Vision...at least on mine it did not. It says not enough space.
I used "Zip Themer" app and it worked. Just loaded zip into app and then flashed through rom manager.

works fine. could be several things causing this, but typically if you just go back in after it says "not enough space" and closes a few times it will eventually figure it out.
try updating your busybox via titanium backup ("problems" button)

Not sure about that, you can test.

Hi, I just got my new One X. Its not rooted and I'm not planning to do it anytime soon. I came across this: http://www.rujelus22.com/evo/
I try installing these apk's like a normal app but i keep getting a signature conflict error. I've tried clearing cache and uninstalling the updates but i still cant get it to work. I tried Google +, Facebook, YouTube and G mail. I wonder if there is a way around this.
Thanks for Helping
Cheers.

oh yeah, thank you mate i haven't red that particular so no it is not possible if you are not rooted
This rooting technique Finally worked you will need three files
1) SDK TOOLS from
2) recovery.img from
3)MRKREHANROOT from
you should have unlock boot loaders USB drivers installed and should be on android 4.3
copy mrkrehanrehanroot3.1.zip in sdcard
be in fastboot mode ie switch off your device and hold both volume up and down and power button together and keep your device connected to PC
Extract the sdktools and place the revovery.img in that folder
then with one finger on shift key right click in an empty space in the folder and select open command window here
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will flash recovery to your device
in recovery no need wipe anything install the zip mrkrehanroot3.1.zip
and reboot
download any app that requires root access and check for example root explorer
it should ask root acess
in this way you have rooted your device
Keep the thanks rolling and follow me on

I use that method, cannot restore any app with TB or install Busybox, for some reason it's root but not completely.
This thread shouldn't be in dev section, and there were bunch of root method threads/posts that could be easily found.

Read description:
Titanium Backup is an example of such an app. It may incorrectly detect the path to your internal storage for backups, and thus crash on backup/restore. You can fix this by going into preferences and selecting a folder under /storage/emulated/legacy as backup/restore path, not under /storage/emulated/0.
