Hi all, I have cyanogenmod installed on O1,
I follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423128
and moved: Gallery3d.apk and Gallery3d.odex, camera.apk and camera.odex, music.apk and music.odex to my Backup folder.
I moved the MIUI files in system/app, but after some time I realize I prefered the old one, so I delete Miui files from System/app, and restore the old files, I reboot the phone, but I can't find my old application in the menu.
What can I do?If you need other information just ask.

I have a problem with this script, takes too long to locate a satellite, I wonder how I can remove to use PFGPS FIX v2.0 is much better! I guess you have to delete files that are in the zip, but I have doubts if that files are in the original rom.

Delete /system/bin/ gpsd
Delete /system/lib/hw/ everything in this folder
Delete /system/etc/ gps.conf
Copy all the files from /system/lib/hw/ from your rom's zip file to your phone's /system/lib/hw/ , set the permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot to recovery
Install PFGPS.
Hello
How can i get back "AllShare Play" for my Galaxy S3? I installed another firmware and a rom and don't really know when it was deleted. I tried to find a solution but I couldn't find anything to solve the problem.

Go find a Stockish Rom that still has the bloatware........and just extract the System/app folder and put the apks that you want back into your current system/app folder.
Yeh useful tools are bloatware
Thanks for the fast answer but I don't know how to extract the folder when I have a ROM with the needed APK. Can I do this on my computer or do I have to do this on my phone?
Download the Rom to your phone or Computer.
Extract the Rom using a File explorer on your phone or a 7zip/winzip program on your PC and go through the folders...Find the
System/App folder it will be filled with every system app you can need......pick out the apks you want to add into your current set up.
save them to a folder and put them back on your phone....or if on your phone just copy them from the extracted location and navigate back to your Local System/App folder, make the Folder R/W so you can add and remove the system files.....and just paste them back in your current system folder overwriting the current ones. and set the premission to match the rest of the folder most of the time i think its rw-r-r
and reboot. sounds long.....but it only takes me 2 min to copy and replace the files and reboot.
its really simple once you do it a couple times.
hope this helps
Thank you very much, didn't know that it is this easy. I never opened the zip file of a rom ^^
What's the name of the apk? I don't see an obviously named app?
Hi
Ever since I've upgraded to new Sammy JB, I cannot simply install any app by CWM zip or manually by copying the apk to /data/app or /system/app
If I copy the apk and restart it won't install. If I use root explorer and go to the apk location (i.e /data/app/) I see it has a generic android icon. If I click on it and select install, It the parse error.. However, if I copy or move this apk to anywhere on the sdcard, the original apk's icon will restore and i can now install it by clicking it... I tried changing permissions but it did not help... I tried full factory reset and installing another JB based rom (LS8 or LSD WanamLite or NeatROM) but I always get the same problem. Placing the apk on /preload/symlink/app did not work either...
Any ideas what could be the problem?
Thanks
I have a rooted Galaxy M Style phone with stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 firmware. I am trying to customize my stock camera app, but am not sure what I'm doing wrong. I plan to replace the autofocus_ok.ogg with a different tune from my phone. I checked the properties of the autofocus_ok.ogg and saw it's a mono, 44100hz, and 96 bitrate file. The tune that I have has the same properties. So this is what I have done so far:
I backed up camera.apk to /system/app/camera.apk.bak and the camera.odex to /system/app/camera.odex.bak. I left a copy of camera.odex in /system/data. I copied the camera.apk to my memory card and placed the file on my computer. I renamed the file to a .rar. I then deleted the autofocus_ok.ogg and placed the tune that I wanted in that directory. Then I renamed it to autofocus_ok.ogg. I renamed the file back to .apk and transferred the file back to the memory card, then over to /system/app. The camera app will not install/not showing up on my phone. I am transferring the files through root explorer on my phone.
I worked with the original apk file again with apktool. I was able to decompile and replaced and renamed the files that I needed again. I compiled the file and transferred the file to /system/app again, but the apk will still not install. I checked the complied apk file and noticed that the file didn't have the META-INF folder, so I copied that over to. Tried to install it again by copying the file to /system/app, but it still won't show up on my phone. Is there anyway for me to change the autofocus_ok.ogg without a custom rom?
Thanks.

Yup, permissions were set correctly like rw-r--r--. Owner is root:root. Those are the permission that I set on the apk file like they were on the original file. I just realized that the compiled apk's from apktools doesn't show up on my phone. The apk that I created by opening up winrar and just replacing the .ogg files do show up, but I get the error "The application Camera (process com.sec.android.app.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Anything else I can try or a thread to refer to?

why dont you try to push the modified apk manually using root explorer or so instead of pushing via adb ..
after decompiling apk and modifying it, compile it into some folder and then copy it into you sd card then use root explorer and manually push(copy) the apk into system/app .. give proper permissions and then reboot your phone..
Here are some guides to use apktool

I have been pushing the modified apk through root explorer all this time. I don't even have adb install, haha. The procedure you explained have been the way I have been doing it the whole time, lol. I read the threads you posted and the procedure is the same as I've been doing it, except for the second thread. I can't grab the apktool from 4shared because I don't have an account. I am using the latest apktool 1.5.2. Also, I didn't understand what PulseDroid was talking when he said "We are NOT done just yet, we cannot use the new apk's... we have to take what we did and add it back to the original apk file to keep proper signature use something like 7zip, take the 'resources.arcs' file and any other xml files you edited out of the "-new" apk and copy them into Original apk". So I'm suppose to replace the resources.arcs and the .ogg files that I created from the new apk to the old apk? I didn't mess with any xml file.
Anyways, is there anything else I can try?
EDIT: ........I feel so embarrassed. I checked out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378177 and saw this post "Drag your replacement files into WinRAR and (here's the important part) in the Compression Method drop-down choose "Store"." All this time I have been compressing the file as "Normal" in Winrar, instead of "Store".
All in all, I did not need apktool at all. I used the original apk and opened it up in Winrar. I deleted the files that I wanted to replaced and put in the files that I wanted. Each time I put something in the file in Winrar I get a prompt for compression and instead of "Normal" compression just use "Store". It was that simple.
This helped me, thank you!
I would've posted in the development forum but I don't have enough posts. I would like to add the stock mail apk back to the rom. I thought I read how on my first read through, now I can't find it (I searched also). I downloaded the removed apk's zip and put the mail apk on my sd card. I tried to add it to the system/data folder but it didnt work. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction
You put it in /system/app and rebooted and it wasn't installed? It should have been... Do you have a pc with adb installed? If so, you can just push it to /system/app and reboot. Both methods should work... Or you could put the Mail+PRIME.apk in the ROM zip file in /system/app before you flash it by opening the zip as archive then re-flash it.
Thanks for trying my ROM out! Sorry you didn't get an answer to your question sooner. Feel free to PM me if you ever need help.
When I add it to system/app there is already a mail apk there. So I replaced it with the file from my SD card and rebooted . Now it shows in my app drawer but force closes when I try to open it.
There being a Mail+PRIME.apk already in /system/app doesn't make sense unless you already added it in at some earlier point. In any event, I would make sure you only have one of those in there. If there's somehow one in there called just 'Mail', delete it. After you put the new mail+prime apk in /system/app, set the permssions so it looks like all the other /system/app apks, reboot into recovery, wipe your cache and dalvik-cache, and then reboot. That should do it.
Thanks for the help, I'll give that a try
