How to replace a system apk? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi all, I have downloaded the Serenity Note 2 Port from the Development section and I am wondering...How can I use just the Gallery app out of it on a different rom that I am currently running?...I like the layout of the Note 2 Gallery way better than any others in current roms....Thanks in Adviance.....Dirty

Well it depends.. i know some of the gallerys and cameras are together as one. I havent ran TouchWiz in awhile but i believe those use seperate apk files. All you would have to do would be to open the zip file on your computer, browse to the /system/app directory and look for an apk file with the word gallery in it. Then take that apk file and place it on your device in the /system/app directory with permissions of rw-r--r-- use root explorer to do all this with as its the best

[MOD][XPERIA 2012][ICS]InfiniteView mod

Found this mod in the SXS forum.
Modded InfiniteView.apk that allows for full screen contact image in contacts and full (top half) image in dialer.
In contacts infinite view the square image tends to get stretched, but in dialer it shows up correctly.
It's actually pretty nice. This modded app from the S is smaller than our stock version so I'm not sure of the differences in base functions but it seems like everything is there.
The mod is packaged as an install bat for the S. I extracted the apk and installed manually.
Always backup before overwriting. Use at your own risk.

Root needed?
Yes, since it's replacing a system app.
Cool, I was disappointed coming from the Vivid which had full image icon. Thanks for the find. It's amazing how much I learned about android system with all the mods cuz not a lot of devs for our device.

Back up your old InfiniteView.
Copy the modded InfiniteView to /system.
Change permissions to rw- r-- r--
Copy/move the modded InfiniteView to /system/apps (this will overwrite your original)
Reboot.

Using your explorer, randomly pick any app and see its permission. Make the permission of the modded InfiniteView app similar to that app.

thanks, I didn't see it, sorry
any reason this would not work with the OC'd 3.7 firmware? I remember this working on 2.68 a couple of months ago, then i reflashed the rom, tried the mod a couple of days ago and there is no change. Checked and rechecked permissions, did everything in these comments..
Thanks for the app
Gonna use it tonight!
Comfortable for Timescape mod??

Emoji for note 2 !!

So is there any way yet to enable emojis ( colored like in iphone ) in apps like instgram,twitter and others ?
I almost tried every thing. changing and replacing fonts adding keyboards but didn't find a way to display the emojis in all applications.
any suggestions ?
Do iOS emoji actually render properly in things like a twitter stream on other platforms (ie windows browsers) ?

This came packed with phoenix rom.
This is not flash able. The two apks in apps folder would go in /system/app/ and the file in lib folder should go in /system/lib/
I am not responsible for any damage you cause.

[MOD]Remove facebook images in gallery

Hello again! I would like to share another mod that will remove the annoying facebook pictures when you open your gallery.
By default whenever you are logged in to facebook the HTC Gallery app would download all the profile pictures of your friends and show it in the main window of your gallery thus cluttering the main window of your gallery with pictures that you don't even own. What this mod will do is disable the gallery app from pulling the pictures and instead you will be shown only the default rectangular social thumbnail.
Now why didn't I remove it totally?
The thumbnail still has a purpose. Instead of the gallery directly showing up the facebook images right when you open the gallery app with this mod it is only shown when you click open the rectangular social thumbnail.
Sorry can't post screenshots as this would be breaking the privacy of my friends that will be shown if ever I post screenshots. Just test and give feedback :good:
And for those who want to include this in their custom ROMs. Feel free to do so No need to ask for permission nor I require you guys to give credits to me. Just pull the APK and thats it! No strings attached
Edit: Sorry guys got a typo in the updater script so it failed to install. Already fixed it now.
Edit: Updated installer script.
Download this for the modded gallery.
Click Here
Download this for restoring to stock odexed gallery(If mod won't work on your ROM)
Click Here
Love the idea!
However, attempted to flash in CWM onto TrickDroid 5.4 ROM and it failed. Error Status 6.
Same here

Umh, i opened zip, there is an issue at the first string so:
- Open the zip wit 7zip or other
- Go to: "META-INF/com/google/android
- Open the "updater-script" with notepad++ or another editor
- Replace this line with the first
Code:
ui_print("HTC Gallery patch");
- Close the editor
- Save all
- Flash it ​
You can also do this:
- Download the apk from here or here, or extract it from zip
- Put into you fastboot/adb folder (you can download it from here)
- Connect the phone at pc with debug usb enabled
- Open a cmd or terminal and move to the folder (cd dir_of_folder)
- Type:
Code:
adb push HTCAlbum.apk system/app
- Open the gallery
- Done!​

Replace which line with what? A little confusing.
Also, couldn't you extract the .apk and use Root Explorer to move it to System?

In the updater-script, replace my line with the first of the txt.
However, you can extract and copy/paste it, but with adb is more faster

The first line missing one double quote ("). Just add that quote to make the line looks like ui_print("HTC Gallery patch"); then you're set.

+1 - The only thing I don't like about this phone is the Facebook Integration with the gallery. I would love to see the option to have it gone completely as I will never use it...

I never removed the friends folder for the sole reason that when logged in to facebook or flickr you could still view your friend's images in there. My main intention of doing this is to organize those messy pics that shows up in the main gallery window when you open it ands instead place it inside the friends folder. Anyways I'll try to update this thread and upload a modded one with the social plugin totally disabled when I get free time.

Thank You! It would be greatly appreciated!!
what about an xposed version?
I don't use nor know how to use xposed so better off asking some devs on doing this. Just tell them to download the APK and diff it. The change is pretty simple.

[Q] Stock Messaging Apk

Hello everyone,
I just got done theming my Note 3 and it looks great. The only thing I don't like about it is that I hate the theme of the messaging app and I want to replace it with the stock messaging apk instead of the new one. Anyone can give me any ideas and how I can go about restoring it to stock messaging while keeping the rest of the theme?

[REQUEST] OPO3 Music player

I need OnePlusOne3 stock Music player app, can someone upload it?
i second this. Anyone mind maybe pulling a backup of that app with Titanium or something?
Here you go
https://www.dropbox.com/s/947ug15klcqg00d/Music.zip?dl=0
This is not a flashable zip.
You need to extract and move the files to the system/app and change permissions accordingly..

doesn't work, either moving into /system/app directory, or installing as a normal APK.
using official CM13.0 04 June build on A2003.

It's the direct backup of the app from stock rom.
So, it's supposed to work only on the stock rom.
You should look for the ported one in the themes and apps thread. It might work with CM rom.

Try this " https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2aYS_xI_g-gRTRwdW43ZklKTFU/view?usp=drives "
Has no one actually considered decompiling the apk? It's likely juts got a command somewhere saying it can't install or work on anything that isn't an op3, remove that and recompile
It's most likely crashing due to the missing libs files. If anyone can help me find the appropriate lib files, I might be able to get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
