Stock Sense Browser? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could anyone post up the stock Sense browser files? Apparently on the Verizon version they dumped it and only shipped with Chrome.
Thanks!

Goes in /system/priv-app (or at least came from there!)

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I can't get it to just install as a normal apk, think I'd need to move it to /system...which I can't do without root. And so the wait begins haha

Now that we have root for the Verizon M8 (THANKS JCASE AND BEAUPS!), this worked perfectly! I originally pushed to /system/app and reset permissions like normal, which didn't work...then I remembered your post about /priv-app. Pushed it there, changed permissions to rw-r--r-- and boom! Thanks again.

Great

Does this stick after reboot ?

[Q] Need Help Putting Myn's Theme on Swype

I followed all the steps to the letter. Went into Root Explorer and found the swype apk in data/app. Held it down and moved it to system/app. Renamed it by taking out the 1. Rebooted.
Went into metamorph and extracted the theme. When I go to apply, it says .com.android.swype-1.apk can not be found in target data/app/
2 things:
Why is it looking in there? I moved it out of there
I renamed it so why is it looking for that old file name?
It also said the sub theme was put into data/app.
I'm stuck. I even tested it out by renaming it to what it wanted and put it back to where it was looking and nothing at all.
Any help? I'd really like to have the all black swype instead of the gray. Goes with my theme. I even watched the Youtube video and am doing everything he is.

Un-install swype, reboot, install, reboot. Then try to metamorph it without moving it. Same thing happened to me.

On the post with those instructions, there is a fixed version of the theme. Download it & follow instructions again.

Yeah, I'm having a problem with this as well. I followed the instructions, but when I go into MetaMorph to update the theme, an error pops up that says, "The theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could not be read and may be missing." Any ideas?
If you use warm 2.2 either donate to get the RLS5 beta, or wait a few days to get the final. Either way RLS5 has themed swype built in.

Thanks! Did not see that. Probably should put that link on the main Rom page and replace it. I see that is what the guy in the video is using, too.

Hmmmmm. I may do that but I really want it now, lol. I can be impatient like that. Id this new fix gives me issues, I will wait for Rls 5. Is it dropping this week?
Well that new zip did work.
But everytime I install Swype, move it to the system/app folder and reboot, it's not there for use when I get back.
I guess I'll just wait for Rls 5 to include it. I've been trying this since yesterday.

I'm also having a similar problem. I first move the inputmethod.apk from /data/apps to /system/apps, reboot my phone, then apply the update through metamorph, reboot my phone again. Then the phone loads up, it says swype doesn't exist. Any suggestions?
Just upgrade to RLS5. Now that Swype is on the official Sprint ROM, it can be included in custom ROMs. RLS5 is a good upgrade, and it will have the themed Swype already there.

Remove Exchange Security pin?

Hey for those of us who have a Microsoft Exchange email account that requires a pin to access our phone, is there any way around this? Please save me the warnings on how this could get me fired. I just want to know if its possible to remove the exchange pin requirement without taking the account off of my nexus?

Modaco iR8, GSM.
These are flashable through CWM. Make sure to do a nandroid first just in case. They have worked on every ROM that I've tried so far. Also, I'd suggest removing the Exchange account, switch the unlock method back to something other than pin, wipe cache/dalvik (might not need to but I always do), flash the zip, reboot, then re-add the account.
edit: should work on deodexed ROMs

I think that I used the 4.0.2 on stock LTE. Is the email app on your phone named EmailGoogle.apk in /system/app or is it just Email.apk? You could always try it and if it doesn't work restore and send me your apk and I can mod it.

Ok i got it working but It still requires me to add a PIN if i select cancel it takes me back to add account.

Alternatively, use Enhanced Email. Works perfectly here..

sounds good. send me a PM and I'll edit it and send it back so that you can flash it. you shouldn't have to enter a pin if it worked. you can leave it on slide and view notifications from the lockscreen.
edit: sorry it might not work on yours since your not running a deodexed ROM
yeah it didn't work for me on gummy 4.0.3 either. when i went to re-add the exchange account it wouldn't pop up the wizard to fill in my info.

Ok, I looked at his ROM and it looks like he uses /system/app/Email.apk instead of /system/app/EmailGoogle.apk. Try this attachment. If you didn't revert back to your nandroid you might want to delete the /system/app/EmailGoogle.apk

[Q] Need CalendarProvider apk please

Before I state the problem, I would like to say this is self inflicted and I should have been more careful. But hindsight is 20/20.
I recently got an M8. Rooted, TWRPd it, and deleted a bunch of bloatware (or so I thought) using the TWRP File Manager. In the process, I think I deleted the Calendar Provider service apk. Now my calendar doesnt work and I randomly get this message your Exchange service has stopped unexpectedly eventhough, my exchange email is coming through.
I was a dummy and didnt do a backup thinking I am only deleting a bunch of unwanted stuff. What can I do now. I tried downloading some version of this SecCalendarProvider.apk from the internet and put it in the system/apps folder but nothing has changed. I dont think it even got started.
Can someone please provide me with a copy of the CalendarProvider.apk? I am not sure if its called HTCCalendarProvider.apk or SecCalendarProvider.apk.
Thanks.

ANK4 Stock Deodex Debloat

Stock ANK4 T-Mobile ROM deodexed by jovy23 and debloated by myself. Really nothing else to say about it. Check out jovy23's thread for what he's done.
Instructions: Wipe everything in recovery (shouldn't need to tell you to backup first) and flash the zip. Done.
Download: http://xfer.aokp.co/?developer=protekk&folder=trltetmo
Mirror: http://fzservers.com/trltetmo/Trltetmo_N910TUVU1ANK4_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated.zip

Nice! Thanks
It's been a long time , and seems like u changed carriers also ? Good to see your work again.
Cool
My Mobile Hotspot force closes upon enabling it. Can anyone confirm? Other than that, smooth like butter.
Can confirm. Hot spot FCs on trying to activate. Must've removed something necessary for it. Otherwise I love how light this rom is.
EDIT: I have jovy23's original rom on my phone. If anyone has any idea what app I'd have to reinstall to get the hotspot working again I'll grab it from there, put it into system/priv-app, change the permissions, and reboot to see if it works.
Ill fix up the hotspot today.

EDIT: Does S-Health work for you guys? Also I think that if were keeping S-Health we should also keep Samsung Galaxy Apps since it's the only way to update it.
I really like this rom. Two things though. Can anyone tell me what files I need to restore to get the Samsung Browser working and the Smart Select for the S-Pen? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: So I figured out the Smart Select but I still need to restore the samsung browser.
EDIT 2: I figured out the browser as well.
Also, is there anyway to get the Samsung Account integrated? I would like to download the extra camera filters. I realize that this is a debloated ROM, but if anyone has a link to re-install some of Sammy's apps, that would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Found a zip file. =)
Ya'll are killing me man! Pro_b tell me what files you need to restore those functions and wheres that zip file Murphy71984? BTW does S-Health work for you guys? Doesn't for me and I figure it's because of the Samsung Account stuff.
really slimmed down thats how phones should come out of the box + the weather widget. I want the weather widget back, tried installing the app from another rom but it does not work properly.

I restored the files myself. I used good old fashioned google searching to figure out which files needed to be restored. But I'm glad the rom was built without them. I prefer how slim the rom is and what I wanted may not be what others wanted or needed.

I noticed that the dev of this rom also removed the libs along with the apps. You may need to find out if there're some missing lib files to s-health. At least that was the case when I added back the sbrowser.
How to re-enable smart select, the galaxy app store, tethering, and Samsung account.
This is how I got everything working. For smart select you grab Pinboard.apk from another rom (I grabbed everything from jovy23's original stock deodexed rom), place it in system/priv-app and change it's permissions to match the other apks there. I used ES file explorer for this with root explorer on and changing the system option to R/W (Tap on root explorer after turning it on to change this option). For the galaxy app store grab GalaxyApps_3xh.apk place it in the system/priv-app folder and change its permissions like before. Theres also a apk called SamsungAppsWidget_BannerStyle_common.apk which goes in system/app but I'm unsure if it's neccesary. If you are adding it just remember to change its permissions. For mobile Hotspot grab TetheringAutomation.apk and TetheringProvision.apk place them in system/app and change permissions. For the Samsung Account grab Samsungservice2_xxhdpi_RTL.apk place it in system/priv-app and change permissions. You are able to log in to the galaxy app store without this but it is necessary to get full access to your samsung accounts synching capabilities, like with s-health for example. Let me know if you need help with anything.
EDIT: Reboot after you've done everything!
Blame @ProTekk

Original Phone APK

Hi,
I was screwing around the other day and without realising, deleted the Phone app
When I restarted my phone, I got into a bootloop (it went from the SAMSUNG animation to the 'Optimizing apps' screen, and back to the SAMSUNG animation)
I tried installing an old one that I found on APKMirror, which booted, but 'com.android.phone' keeps crashing and I can't do anything!
So is anybody able to upload the original Phone APK from their phone? I've got an A3, but I'm sure one from an A5/7 would work the same.
If anybody could, they'd be a lifesaver!
TIA,
Ben

Well the euphoria was short lived. I installed it by putting it in /system/app and doing 'chmod 644' on it, but it still keeps crashing and I still have no SIM card...
Does it need to be installed somewhere special? priv-app?
Where did you pull the apk from Chris.nl?

I used SD-Maid to export the apk. Don't know it's original location.
I think /system/priv-app/TeleService/ but maybe you should reflash stock again. Just freeze apps (first few days) instead of deleting them to prefent mayor issues like this. I'm sorry.
