Galaxy S apps - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to install apk's from the Galaxy S line on to the Evo? I really like the AccuWeather clock widget. I found a copy of the apk but when I go to install it doesn't work. Is that because it only works on Samsung phones? If anyone knows how to get this app to work Please let me know.

It "may" not work because it needs framework from the samsung software?

If you mean the one below its in system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk/res/drawable-hdpi and its called mainmenu_icon_application.
Grab a theme or rom that has this launcher included and unzip it with 7zip then go get it.
Is it possible to do that from my phone? Won't it tell me the apk is already installed? My computer is out of comission for a minute

Edit #2: got it just had to run the meddia scanner thanks for the help

[THEME HELP] - Changing handcent icon

So i pulled the apk from data/app.
Replaced the icon inside like usual
Put it back to data/app. And it goes missing from the app drawer.
Tried putting it in system/app, and it says Handcent has stopped working.
Something im missing?
Non system apps have to installed, not just pushed. Delete your old one first our you'll get a parse error.

So grab the apk, change the icons, uninstall handcent, push hte apk, INSTALL that new apk from data/app?
Yep. if all your doing is changing icons, why not use nova launcher and do it with no hassles?

Thank you, heres the two icons i want thrown in, theyre both in the drawable-hdpi folder. Thanks. Ones the main icon for the apk. The icon_pink is to overwrite the pink notification choice u can choice as a icon in the app settings.
Does nova change the app drawer icons? If so,how?
I thought it could only change home screen icons

Nova doesn't do app drawer icons, only homescreen. They do keep even after an update though. For OP, there is something odd about this app. Even just decompiling/recompiling with no changes, and the app closes immediately after startup. No errors or anything, and logcat returns no errors. My only advice is to use Nova Launcher- you will not lose one bit of functionaloty or appearance (exactly like stock) and will gain a ton of features.

Did you remember to sign the apk before pushing it?

Sign the apk before pushing back to the phone.

[REQ] Samsung Weather apk - Accuweather

For some reason the "search" function is missing from this forum right now?
I'm looking for the stock weather widget that has been in most all Samsung Galaxy phones lately.
It wasn't on my stock SIII for some reason. Well it was installed but just "not there".
And it's not on the custom ROM I just flashed either.
Really, really like this weather widget.
I have a super old APK but would prefer a more recent one with the newer updates.
Thanks!
I am also interested in this too. I don't like stock Weather widget that came with Galaxy SIII. I like the one that is on Galaxy SII and Galaxy Note where it shows you current weather condition plus forecast for next 4 days. I don't know why Samsung got rid of it on Galaxy SIII.

Try downloading a custom TWiz ROM or the stock one and pulling the APK. Push it to your system apps and reboot. I hope that works for you

I had trouble figuring out how to pull an apk from the tar.md5 stock ROM.
But I ended up having to restore to the original ROM via odin.
So I took the opportunity to root & do a titanium backup of the Accuweather app.
I then extracted the .apk.gz and copied the .apk to /data/apps, but the Accuweather app doesn't come up in my installed programs or widgets list.
Also tried installing directly from the .apk but it said it could not install.
Here you go: http://cl.ly/292X2A283Y3a410y3Q35
Just extract to /system/apps and verify permissions.

If you're on the stock odexed from, you'll need the .odex files. I believe you also need both .apk files, accuweather and also accuweather_main.
I'm on DietICS.
My stock ROM had Accuweather working.
Couldn't manage to get it from that ROM to DietICS though.
Whether by TitaniumBackup or from copying the three .apk's from /system/app of stock ROM to /system/app of DietICS.

Note 4 Weather

For TouchWiz Launcher ONLY
1) Clear the cache and data for both Unified Daemon and Weather
2) Uninstall both Unified Daemon and Weather
3) Copy and paste both Widget Daemon and Weather to system/app folder
4) Set permissions to rwx-rwx-rwx
5) Reboot phone
Only thing not working for me is theme tab.

Not working on Apex Launcher
I'm only able to use the widget on the TW launcher. When I try to use it on Apex Launcher it says "no more room on this screen." Is there a way to fix that?

It works on Nova Launcher though, I'm gonna try to figure it out.
It works for me, the only problem is gps location is not accurate, u have to setup manually and some of the cities is not available i guess since it isn't official yet..

[Q] Request: Note 4 Clock apk

Hey guys, I was going through my phone deleting bloatware after I rooted and I accidentally deleted my stock clock widget. Is there anyway someone could upload an apk I can flash to my phone do install the clock without reinstalling stock android? I have searched everywhere with no avail! I've got the stock .tar but I could not unpack it to find the apk myself.
Thanks!

Send me a pm with your email address. You might be able to install it from the .apk file. For future, try freezing the apps instead of deleting. Easier to fix.
Here's the clock apk.
