Hi
Finally - first post after just reading the forum, and for good start it's kind of how to questions.
So, as mentioned in the topic I need to restore standard TW Launcher on my device, at the moment it is broken thanks to my noobish operations. I tried to replace TW with the modded TW4.5.
TW4.5 doesn't work on my gs2 and to install it I just deleted the stock one. I made a copy of standard apk, but nothing happend when I copy it back into system/app directory. It also won't to be installed.
Now I use GO Launcher and I'm happy with it but the thought that standard one doesn't work make feel strange.
Please help
I had the same issue last night but got TW4.5 working fine in the end. However i did end up going back to the original anyway (some widget bugs that i probably could have sorted but couldnt be bothered -.-').
The way i got my original TW back was as follows:
1) Put the original touchwiz30.apk file and the .odex file back into /system/app.
2) Delete the Touchwiz4.apk
3) Try install the old launcher only to be told "Application not installed".
4) Reboot the phone and it should let you use the normal launcher again, use Home Switcher if youve set the other as default.
Hope this helps

Thanks a lot mate, this is what I actually thought, cuz it's simple and the most logical at all, but I lost my mind with this mess, so can I ask you/anyone for a favor to upload/send on email both of these files, please?

edit:
Problem's solved, I made silly mistake - I didn't recognize that the root uninstaller app did add the '2.3.3' phrase between file name and file extension.
U helped a lot by posting the correct file name.
Thanks
Thanks for the question I have the same problem.
can u post ur stock files cuz i ****ed up and didnt take backup plz?
Srry for lag, havent seen it. I'll upload it tommorow from work or if u need it earlier I suggest to download a rom based on stock one and you will find it (there's stock tw in villain rom for sure).

Hey there guys.
Just wanted to ask something...
Now that we're rooted, we should be able to install some custom apks + permissions, right?
There was something that tickled my interest even before...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982051
The Xperia Play wallpaper... already up and working on the X10 mini (pro), how about being able to install that on our little handset as well?
Yes we just need some volunteers that'll do that for us dumb users!
Would be awesome if someone took the time to do so... I actually think it would fit the Arc perfectly.
Given the similarity in specs, would it not just be a matter of a rooted Play user extracting the APK and making it available?
Works on my X10 when using 2.3.3 fine so cant see why not
Sent from my X10i TripNMiUI using XDA Premium App
Well for that we'd still need someone wouldn't we...just where to get the unchanged apk from.
Well maybe festa20 will be kind enough to share it.
Well the problem that I see is that the version in the aforementioned thread is for xrecovery, which we still don't have on our arc.
The question is if adb pushing or moving with root explorer would work with adb pulled play apk and permissions
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
I'm a total noob, but you could try these.
I think I would still need the required permissions when adb pushing those apks, since they don't get installed by themselves, that's what I was told in the development thread too
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
missing shared library? ...hmmm
That's what I meant with missing data... and that's why we'd prolly need a dev's opinion on how or if this is possible...
Sorry for Pushing, but still unsolved :s
Hmm i'm running the play live wallpapers on my arc for 2 weeks now, works like charm.
Just download http://www.mediafire.com/?68v0dnvf7912d7c
copy each file to their corresponding directory (like they are in the zip)
system/app
system/etc
system/framework
system/lib
set permissions properly to 644 on each files and voilà.
Can something go wrong when messing with these files?
Sorry, im a noob at this.
Not really because they don't erase any existing files, there are new ones.
Thank you so much, works like a charm!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Sure, no pb
They work great, don't lag at all, the system stays snappy, and battery life not impacted
thank you piflechien, installed just now and looks very nice
hi
sorry if this sounds noob, but I can't seem to install the files. I have put them in the folders but it keeps saying app not installed. please help me
poloracer11, using root explorer, you just need to move those files on the respective folder as mentioned on the guide above (don't try to 'install' the files otherwise you will get the error), then long press each files and set permissions to:
user:read-write
group:read
others:read
then reboot, can be selected now on live wallpapers
Hello all
When I had Galaxy S, I found out that flashing custom ROMs not only gives you huge benefits, but also has drawbacks - one of them is loosing the additional languages that regional firmwares have.
Then I found out this great thread which showed me what files to replace, to get back all the missing languages.
Now I just got Galaxy S 2 and it has the right keyboard, and I'm rooted so I thought I'd take the keyboard files and flash them on whatever ROM I choose.
My question [AT LAST!] is:
What are the respective files, libraries, etc. that are required for this to work? Are they the same as in Galaxy S, are there more or less?
Thanks
Samsung keyboard files are AxT9IME.apk found in system/app and libXt9core.so found in system/lib.
Thanks, but it didn't work.
I found the files, but it seems that the ones in 2.3.3 are way different than those in 2.3.4 so the Samsung Keypad just disappears...
Seems I'm stuck with the buggy market options.
You can try clearing the keypads data under settings/applications/manage applications then reboot the phone.
It doesn't give force closes or anything, replacing the app just makes it disappear from the list. Tho it's still visible with Titanium as a crossed out entry.
That's odd, how did you install the new files?
First I tried to do it via CWM, but I probably messed it up, since I can't make my own scripts and just steal someone else's anyway it did nothing.
Then I tried manual replacing via Root Explorer and then the keypad disappeared.
I'll find a way to do it, the only thing I don't know - are the 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 files compatible. If not there's no point trying to do it, right?
I don't see there being any difference between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 but if you want you can just download a rom that is 2.3.4 and extract the files you need.
I think I know why there's a problem. I'm trying to replace an odexed version of the Samsung Keypad, and I copy both files. And probably there's some place else in the Android OS which does a check and causes the error.
Cause I replaced Swype sucessfuly (and it didn't have an .odex part).
Can it be that?
UPD: Yes, it's totally that, I deleted both the .apk and .odex files and placed a dedoexed version of the AxT9IME.apk in system/app and it worked again. Now I have to find a way to deodex the apk I have, and I know nothing of programming
This thread might be helpful. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132724 I briefly looked over it and it doesn't seem to be that hard. Good luck

Hi, i'm new to the ROM building/editing stuff. I've read a lot about building ROM's from scratch, but thats not what i'm interested in. I would like to know if, and if i can how, i can edit an existing rom for the Samsung Infuse 4g such as the stock rom and replace stock apps. I want to just edit some of the system/apps like the stock launcher, stock messaging app, etc and replace them with different ones that i already have downloaded. I don't want to edit any of the really deep/internal stuff just the stock applications that are loaded on the phone. Pretty much i want to theme it i guess you could say. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advanced. I'm looking forward to working with custom ROM's.
bump. can anyone help a guy out??

How do you flash new rom on your samsung. Is it a .zip file and you flash it via cwm?

Assuming your file is a .zip file, you could just replace the applications you want (found in the "system/app" folder) on the zip, and sign it afterwards with a tool like AndroidSigner. It works for me
dsixda's kitchen
I haven't used this, but I have seen other ROM modders talk about this application called Kitchen (by dsixda). The link to the post is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
From the looks of it, it fits your bill.
you have Output the /system and do some work like change themes and other stuff and their is guys in Android Development and Hacking>Android Software Development
First off, thanks for all your replies, I appreciate getting some assistance. To answer most questions, yes I have the rom as a .zip file and flash it with cwm. I will try to replace the apps I want and then look into signing it ( which I don't know a whole lot about, but ill Google it.)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
Yeah so the apps are in /system/apps/ You can replace them easily, but You have to set good permisions

Hello everyone
Thanks for the link .. you have been a great help
Has anyone got a Cubot One phone? It's just I was trying to replace the systemUI.apk file with a Samsung one when it said “There is already a file named ‘systemUI.apk'. Would you like to replace it?" And then, given 3 options: ‘Yes', ‘No' or ‘Keep Both', I picked ‘Yes'. A second later, it automatically rebooted, and I realised that I had deleted the original. Could someone please post a copy of systemUI.apk (and corresponding .odex file - just accidentally deleted that as well) for a Cubot One in a .zip format ASAP because I find absence of status bar, recent apps viewer and screenshot utility VERY frustrating. Thanks!
Post it in default thread for cubot one or push the stock systemui from the zip
Press :highfive: thanks :good: if helped
Yeah the only problem with that is my horrific mobile internet speed - it'd help if I just had the 2 files in a .zip + sorry I was on the browser page when I posted this AND I didn't have a particularly good judge of thread-associated relevance (BTW what d'you mean by ‘push' systemUI from .zip? Sorry, in not very experienced and don't really understand many of these terms :thanks

Do you have a back up on your computer? If not, find one on the threads for your phone and I can guide you on either how to "push" file or if you have a custom recovery, to flash it..
