Hi all - I've flashed the Super Clean ROM v0.4 by jt1134, but I'm finding that I much preferred the stock music player, and noticed a lack of "ThinkFree Office" in this release, which got me to thinking;
Is there a place to download optimized, deodexed, zipaligned, [insert optimization buzzword here] apks for every one of the stock apps that were included with the Fascinate? Something we can just adb push onto our customized ROMs after the fact?
Again, I'm thinking mostly of the music app and ThinkFree office (I know I can download a free version... was the stock app the for-pay version, or was it the free "lite" version?), but I know that some people also like the stock mms app, etc.
Thanks!

I was just going to start looking for the deodexed system dump. I, too, miss the stock music player. Anyone got a link, and will it work with JT's rom? And how should we install it? Using a file manager, pushing it with adb, or putting it somewhere with root explorer?
I need this ro try and push the stock market app. The froyo update won't download apps.

Stock music player, messaging app and alarm clock is what is keeping me from using this Rom

Or you can DeOdex your system manually I have used this method and it works, Only exception is at step "5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "vzwlbs.odex" (instead of this file that does not exist on a Fascinate - "guava.odex".) It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process."
I was actually going to request the stock calender apk. The samsung one looks better but takes away too much functionality. I guess they really do like apple haha. I need to know what's next on my schedule without remembering to look for it.
Jt has been slowly adding some of the stock apps as well as some of the AOSP apps to the "extra" folder in ROM manager. I'm guessing if there is enough interest in adding an app he would be willing to provide it. I'm fairly certain that donations to his "beer fund" would help prompt interest.
Jt hangs out in #Samsung-fascinate on freenode a lot, you could *politely* request that he add an app there.
i copied ClockPackage.apk and Mms.apk from frost's rom to /system/app and it all worked. I got back stock versions of both, I believe if you rename DeskClock.apk to DeskClock.apk.bck or delete it you can remove altogether JT's clock.
I wonder where the Verizon stuff is, like the info app that shows you minutes/texts/data used.

I'd like this app as well, if you're able to get it working. I'd try it myself, but I'm at work ATM.
I think its this "I500_MyVerizon_05202010.apk" I saw it in the full system dump. However that dump is not deodexed and from original release. don't know if it would work and don't wanna screw up my system.
You should be able to grab them from a system dump.
The fascinate stock apps that are not included in frosty's zip were never odexed in the first place.
The way frosty's zip to deodex works is by removing the odex files, and replacing the corresponding apk with the deodexed versions.
Can you just take the apk from the dump and install it? I need thinkfree back as well. Does this work or do you have to get the apk and odex file from the dump and paste into the system/app folder?
I remember having a deodexed rom on my D1 and installing apps from the market with no problems. Can I just add the apk to my sdcard and install?
Thanks
I would just copy them to system/app
I do not know if any of them are actually installable if you just run, them on your phone.
If it doesn't have an odex in the system dump, it probably doesn't need one.
I like the file manager "my files" that comes with the stock rom. I might get heat for this, but its nice to have that already installed and or a zip to install via clockwork for other roms.

I Did, currently google apps flash-able package is available for CM7 ROMs but cant find for froyo.
And another point is, i corrupted my market app.. cant download any app now
I think Google talk is also not available in the android market.
why i posted:
ROM developers may have it that's why i posted maybe someone can provide one.
otherwise i will extract apk from ROM and try to create update zip. might be useful for others too
GApps packages are only for CM Rom's (And AOSP ones), since, those ROMs by themselves do not have any Google copyrighted stuff.
Sense based ROMs do not need GApps packages because most of them include it by default. Or, even if they do not include the apps package, they include atleast the Market app,
Seeing that, as you have put, your best bet would be to extract the APK and create the Update Zip yourself.
Looks like there is more than corrupt application in my case. I have created and flashed update even individually installed apks and services over existing ROM but getting FC on launching the application. Setup Wizard doesn't seems to work anymore and getting FC in loops.
Some unknown system components or services also seems to be affected. I think I would need to go back and restore nandroid or reflash the ROM
time to flash a New ROM for primary use. and keeping nandroid backups for test purpose. as a Primary ROM I will prefer CM 7.0.3, Wildpuzzel freezes sometimes during a call. i have used cm7 before but for test purpose. So i till go for CM7 and look for solution to connect ad-hoc wifi
why not just reflash your rom and make a backup of any data you want before hand
I remember the dialer before i upgraded to ICS had a tab at the top for contacts, i could click that and find the contact i wanted, hell i could even send a SMS from there by swyping the contact name to the side...
The new dialer for ICS has contacts listed under the menu button, meaning its one more keypress to get there. It just doesnt "flow" as well, if that makes sense.
Im wondering, has anyone else noticed this? how can i get back the old dialer? Are there any good tweaked ICS roms that have this (and other) improvements? Im sorry but search didnt come up with anything and this place is crazy (two android development sections!?!) i couldnt find anything when i searched that met what im looking for.
Im currently running XXLPQ stock
hey there, i am using resurrection remix 1.4 w/ siyahkernel3.1rc6, and the dialler app for ics has contacts at the top of the dialler if thats what your looking for? its got 3 tabs, dialler, recent calls, contacts
That's exactly what inn looking for, any chance you can post the dialer apk for me?
i will do a titanium backup and see if i can get hold of my apk
EDIT: the two files i attached, put it in sd card, titanium backup... i THINK this will work, i would to a nandroid backup just to be sure, then try restoring the apps (search for phone in titanium)
pm me if i dnt reply to this thread
No go on the titanium backup, didn't wanna show up in my list, i cleared my titanium folder so there was nothing else, put the files in, restarted, start TB, no backups found for the dialer.
Try using root explorer and finding your dialer apk and post that? I can manually replace the file
thats the thing its not called dialler lol, its called phone, and seems to be fragmented into two parts =S lol let me see if i can find someting else
EDIT: try un g zipping the file so it shows an APK file and try pushing it to the system maybe? or installing it
EDIT 2: i managed to extract these apk's from the resurrection remix rom:
contacts, contactsprovider, phone, phonesky
hope it helps
Perhaps both Phone.apk (and .odex if applicable) and Contacts.apk (and .odex if applicable)?
my bad let me find .odex
EDIT: cant find .odex but try push the above found in system (on the rom.zip)

You don't have Phone.odex and Contacts.odex? That means YOU'RE on a deodexed ROM... But IF the other guy who is requesting the files is on an odexed ROM, he will have an extra step of removing the applicable .odex files. But he may already know that. (and it's always recommended to back anything up that you may end up needing again if you remove it)

I had that problem with "Resurrection rom 1.1" and believe me you better re-flash the ROM than s***ing with .apk-s... Didn't work for me so if you don't want to flash again you may use exDialer from the market, it's a good app, has the "swipe" functions and ICS themes, I used it for a week before switching to RR 1.4.
Ya def need one with an odex file...

No... you don't.
Back up the .apk file you intend to replace, along with their corresponding .odex file. Then REMOVE the .odex file and replace the .apk.
For example, if he gives you Phone.apk, and you have Phone.apk and Phone.odex, then COPY your original copies of Phone.apk and Phone.odex to a safe place, then delete Phone.odex, and replace your existing Phone.apk.
I've done this before, and used a deodexed Phone app on my odexed firmware.
Tried that but it didn't seem to work, after restart i lost service and couldn't dual out and had several other services complain on me, perhaps it's not comparable with my system?

If his version of Android is different than yours, then his apps probably wouldn't work for you.
Going back to read the thread, he said he is on Resurrection Remix 1.4. Looking at the thread for that ROM, it is AOKP based, with elements from CM9. What firmware are you on? You said you're on ICS, but you never mention specifically what ROM. Are you on stock? Then yeah, his apps probably won't work for you.
damn a shame it wouldnt work, try out go dialler tho if you want quick contacts access, from the dialler you just have to swipe to change to contacts... i used to use it but the themes arent as good as the ones we have lol
That would explain it I'm running LPQ stock...

I've not seen any mods for stock ICS to have this. A quick google search also turns up nothing for stock ICS.
So if you absolutely want this in ICS, you will need to flash a custom ROM.
EDIT to add: I should rephrase; you also have the option of using a third party dialer that has contacts integrated. But if you want to have the dialer that is included in the ICS ROM to have the contacts tab, you'll need to flash a custom ROM.

I would be fine with a custom rom based off one of the samsung sources but i dont frequent this side very often (usually on the asus transformer forum) to know which are good and which to avoid. Any suggestions?

Based on my research and countless trials of different ROMS, I must say the widgets are usually added with the ROM itself. And most of the time, if you are referring to widgets/apps from Sammy, these has to be installed separately IF it is not included in the ROM. I am not sure if it will work with CUSTOM ROMS(ROMS not based on Sammy) but I believe it does work with Sammy based rooted/dioxidized ROMS. Enough talking, try these at your own expense.....http://www.mobilegeek.it/2012/11/romow-v0-1-official-jelly-bean-dlib/
If there are any kind mods/experts/pros/old timers out there who wished to share and pass down some knowledge or correct any mistakes on my part, you are always welcome to do so....please.
******** I suggest you do more research on this as I am unsure what ROM you are using/whether it will work at all. Go to the link given and scroll down to "DOWNLOAD" section, there you will see Samsung APP Part1 and Samsung APP Part2. I am unsure of which apps/widgets is in which parts so I guess you have to try it yourself. I take reference from my current ROM (ROMOW N4 Jelly Bean 4.1.1) which is my current daily driver.******
Here are the instructions to install the Samsung Apps as found on the same page in the link given :
If you want to install some AppSamsung and all you have to do it this way:
-Download the zip file of the app Samsung
-Installed on your PC WinRAR or 7-zip
-Open the zip file with one of these programs (Warning, do not unpack, ONLY OPEN)
-Once you open the zip yourself in the folder "app" (system / app)
-Delete applications you do not want to install
-Once done close the zip (Just click on the X of the window)
-Upload the zip on your GS3
-Flash it via recovery
-Enjoy!
TouchWiz 5 on CM10 for the Galaxy Player 5.0

The biggest issue with this is working around the very limited amount of space we have in our /system. Before installing these things, you first need to clear out some space. I recommend having at least 23MB free before proceeding. I’m sorry that this requires so many steps right now; I might eventually start baking this into a ROM and releasing that, but for now, this is what we have to work with.
1) Freeing space
I recommend using a root browser to navigate to /system/app and inspecting what apps seem to be the largest. The ones that might be unnecessary should be uninstalled or converted to user apps via titanium. I recommend converting movie studio to a user app and uninstalling Cyanogenmod wallpaper manager as it’s pretty unnecessary and occupies several precious megabytes of space. Trebuchet wastes a whopping 17MB of space, so I recommend installing Apex Launcher or the stock 4.2 launcher (located in the SkyDrive folder) and then removing this with Titanium. You should also go to /system/media/video and clear out the files there since you don’t really need them for anything. Sound effects in /system/media/audio (with the exception of the ui folder) can be migrated to media/audio on the internal SD card to maintain function and free up some more space.
2) Installing TouchWiz apps
Right now, I have found TouchWiz Home and Weather widget apps that work with this ROM. I have located 4.1-compatible S Memo and Task Manager, but haven’t gotten those to go in yet. Now that you have plenty of space in /system, we can start adding things in.
a) Installing the theme
In the SkyDrive folder, you will find a Titanium Backup file for a TouchWiz CM10 theme. Copy this to the /storage/sdcard0/TitaniumBackup (or wherever you have it set to be) folder, launch Titanium, and restore the app. Go to System Settings > Themes and pick TouchWiz 5.0 and hit apply. Ignore the resolution warning.
b) Installing the launcher/weather widget
Push the “TouchWiz 5 Nature Launcher” zip to your SD card and install from CWM/ROM Manager. If it does not show up after rebooting, try clearing defaults from the launcher. If the problem persists, navigate to /system/app using a file browser and select/install both AccuweatherWidget.apk and AccuweatherWiddget_Main.apk files along with SecLauncher2.apk
c) Adding system sounds
There should be a “media” folder on SkyDrive. Right-click this and select “Download” to download the entire thing at once. Push the files to your internal SD card / media. Copy the contents of the ui folder to /system/media/audio/ui, overwriting the default Android files.
And that should be it! Not exactly a streamlined process, but it’ll do until we see a release of RemICS-JB for our device.

Great job. Two things though, the touchwiz launcher is pretty laggy for me. It just seems to skip animations. Also could you add color to the WiFi signal? I'm really used to having a gray signal bar mean no internet. Other than that, it looks and works great.

Check what things you have running in the background. I'm in the habit of limiting background processes to two, and everything on the device is pretty snappy then.
I think that's gray because we're using the original wifi drivers rather than the newer ones that are capable of displaying up/down connection indicators but are less reliable, but I'll look into it.
I did a little Photoshoping and the icons should now be green (install the backup located in the folder I named "theme green wifi"), but I have no way to test it right now because there is no WiFi here. Just switch to the system theme and back and you should be golden.
