Way to restore system app? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
Basically due to the battery drain, I would like to switch back to 4.1.1. The problem is the stock browser in 4.1.2 has this text reflow (where you zoom in and double tap to resize text width) This is kinda a big deal to me coming from a HTC and I would very much like to keep this feature.
Is there any way to restore this browser onto the 4.1.1 stock rom? I tried uninstalling it via TitaniumBackup and then using my backup to restore the older version, but it just hanged at the "restoring" dialogue forever. I have also tried every app processing mode to no avail.
Can this be done? Or is there any other way to do this without titanium backup? I really wanna switch back to 4.1.1 but can't without this feature in the new browser.
Thanks for any help.

Seriously don't downgrade to 4.1.1
It has a high vulnerability to sds bug and exynos exploit.

I'm willing to take risk until Samsung fix the battery drain.
Does anyone know how I can get the text reflow on 4.1.1? I'm surprised people aren't that concerned with it. The reflow browser was always a massive advantage htc had over samsung.

I use chrome. So I have no idea.

Have you tried to put apk and odex file to system/app folder and applied permission to rw-r-r?

I think that's the stock Android calendar, not the SIII S-Calendar from Samsung. I have been wanting this too and I'm pledging towards a bounty for a stable working apk on my S2.

I'm good at flashing zips, but when it comes to this I could use some specific instructions. What permissions do I use? Do I need to uninstall the old calendar first, or run them side by side?

I would rename your current calender to .bak instead of .apk so you still have it. Then using root explorer move this apk to system/apps the long press it. Click change permissions and I believe they should be set to rw/r/r. Good luck!

It's pretty simple. However this process still did not work on my rooted SGSII. But for future reference of these types of system files here ya go.
- Use Root Explorer to place the file in the System/App folder in the directory
- If the new file is a different name then you can easily just place it in that folder ( of course you have to change Root Explorer to R/O mode instead of R/W mode ) - ( if its the same name then just rename the old file to something you can remember )
- Permissions for most apps would be RW, R, R. Just click on the file and select "Permissions". After you do that you do need to re-boot the device to save the settings.
Note: I did try this with this calendar and it did not work. We actually need a SSGSIII Calendar ported to work on an SGII. I am not smart enough to make that happen. Although I would like to be able to do such things someday. Hope this helps at least for future reference.
I'm pledging $10 towards the Dev who can get the S-Calendar ported yo the T-Mobile SGS-2. Maybe more if it is done by Monday. I know it's not a lot, but it's what I can give.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this seemed like the most relevant place to post.
I recently put CarbonROM on my phone and, after playing around with it for a bit, realize I absolutely hate the google calendar and just want my old calendar back. I downloaded the apk provided in this thread and attempted to install it but it says I already have the app. Sure enough, if I go to Settings > Apps, it shows up as Calendar Storage, but there is no icon anywhere, such as in my app drawer, that allows me to load the program. I even tried using QuickShortcutMaker, but it can't find the calendar anywhere in the list of apps to make a shortcut. Does anybody know what I can do?
Same situation here with carbon Rom.
Anyone know how to get it working?

I am not sure, but it would seem, S Planer doesn't work on any other ROM than the Samsung Official ROM.
I don't know why... I've testing a lot of possibilities (replace the original AOKP's apk by the Samsung's apk, do a wipe Dalvik, wipe cache, modify the permissions...), a lot of apk (recovered here, recovered on an original v4.1.2 samsung's ROM, recovered on the testing v4.2.2 Samsung ROM...), and it never work on my CyanoGen Mod 10.1...
It isn't an incompatibility with an other home than TouchWiz because I've never use this home with my previous Samsung's ROM and S Planer working correctly...
I will continue to looking to do working S Planer with an other ROM, but I have little hope... :crying:

Im not trying to be a douche but if you read my post I did say, this without using "go sms" or light flow or any other app so obviously people would know that so if you wanna use go sms thats fine but unlike you some other people may want to use the stock sms without having to install any other messaging app. .

Stock keyboard doesn't have autocorrect..?

Has anyone else realized that the stock keyboard that comes with the s4 doesn't autocorrect your words unless you use Swype. It sucks because this is the first keyboard which I actually like -_-
yeah samsung killed it there I loveeee the keyboard but the autocorrect is just not there which is beyond sad to me.

Actually the absence of auto correct is not Samsung's fault. It's the result of Apple law suit last year and in the end consumers, you and I, are at loss. One of the several reasons I will never stand for this evil company (Apple).

Isn't the stock keyboard on the s4 SwiftKey? I use swiftkey4 on my Note 2 and absolutely love it!

cant you compare 2 ? I already switched to AOSP keyboard and dont have SwiftKey or Samsung kb
Yeah its a shame. I love the Samsung keyboard, especially having the row of numbers up top, but I can't do without auto correct, so I'm just using Jelly Bean keyboard from the Play Store.
But if there is an international version with auto correct I'd love to get my hands on it.

My Canadian version has auto correct. Here's the apk and the odex file. It's not a flash able zip. Just both files zipped . You will have to manually out it into system/app and give it proper permissions. Make sure you make a back up first ! Hopefully it works. Let me know.

That file is different from what's on Tom S4 and it doesn't install. You supposed to be able just move the file and fix permisions but kb not getting installed. Perhaps some dev can fix this.

The odex file seems to be corrupt and the samsung apk is missing the clases.dex file, the classes.dex file has the smali that needs edited to enable autocorrect, Can you give us the source of where you got this file?

Camera and messaging

I recently flashed Jedi X17 on my SGNII and I hate the stock messaging app that touchwiz comes with. Any suggestions on a different one?? Also I need the stock camera back I uninstalled with titanium because I had the 4.3 cam but then realized that the messaging app doesn't support the 4.3 cam. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Yo! If you still want the Samsung Camera......
Go in the .zip file for the ROM you're using, and extract the Samsung Camera from System > Apps.
Put the Camera.apk on your SD card, and push it/install it to System > Apps using Root Explorer.
Change the permissions to RW-R--R--, and check your App Drawer for your new app. If it isn't there, reboot and wallah, you have the Samsung Camera again!
