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

I kinda miss being able to skip or replay songs from the dropdown bar.
Having NFS back would be nice too

You can just pull stuff out of the zip.

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.

hi xda
i deleted the stock messaging app from my galaxy s2, austalian optus branded, and cannot get it reinstalled!
i rooted the phone then uninstalled it without backing up 1st(brain fart) and now it turns out hancent wont receive mms messages without the stock app.
i have unrooted, put original kernal back, factory reset the device and also reinstalled the optus rom from this site with no success.
i have tried reinstalling the app via root manager and other apps but when i try it says "app not installed". i have tried moving the mms.apk and mms.ode file to the /system/app folder and rebooting...still no good!
im currently downloading the stock rom from here(GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1(1).zip) and will install to see if that changes anything but im thinking it wont.
ive searched the net and this site and still cant find anything that works!
so if anyone could shed some light on how to reinstall it or point me in the right direction would be great!
*update*
thanx if you were about to reply, seems i just needed a compatible mms.apk and iinstalled fine.

Download the Rom package and extract it using winrar. Inside that you will be having the img file. Extract that rfs file and inside the directory "system\app" you will find the default message application. jus copy and paste it in your mobile using root explorer.
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?

Not from me, I'm on stock.
Dialer messed up
I don't know others , but this really bother me.
Any solution without using a custom ROM ?
Hi all,
I'd like to change the contacts application I have in my ICS Rom with another one modded apk, I've tried with Root Explorer (replacing, changing permissions), with Titanium Backup (removing contacts and trying to install this apk), and replacing the contacts.apk in the system/app folder in the Rom flashable zip, but nothing was worth it. All i get is an error message that the application couldn't be opened.
What should I do to get it work? There's any particular procedure to overwrite a "default" application that come with the rom with another one?
How do I create a flashable zip to install it from CWM? Is it just enaugh to have the *.apk or I have to compile it in another way?
PS: I've also tried simply installing the new contacts.apk but it says "application not installed"
Thanks to everyone!
I could be mistaken/misunderstanding (but I researched when I wanted to replace battery icon) - but I think you would have to make sure you were on a de-odexed ROM..
Although when I tried to replace the camera.apk with the modified Gingerbread one on here, I got the same issue - so make sure the contacts apk you are trying to replace it with is for ICS also!
Yeah, I explain, I'm trying to import the contact.apk that came with the Foxhound ICS rom in my Resurrection ICS rom.
Both of them are ICS based

Yeah, but FoxHound is stock based, and Resurrection Remix is AOKP based. I don't think that will work.
You're right, I thought that too, but the contacts app is the stock one on the Resurrection, even if it's based on AOKP. So, in theory, the substitution should be possible..
If you have a custom rom just open the rom with winrar and delete what you want and add to replace then close winrar and flash .

Theory doesn't always work in practice.
@ctomgee: ahahahah I know that
@JJEgan: I've already tried that, but even when I flash the Resurrection (with new contacs in the flashable zip file) I got an error when opening contacts, furthermore android.acore process die after tot seconds..

In that case its a non compatible apk for your firmware .

I accidentally deleted phone.apk and phone.odex located in /system/app following circumstances that I won't explore here, and because of this, I no longer have mobile data connectivity. Now, I did offload phone.apk onto an external SD card before this happened, but phone.odex was lost, and now I need it back. Attempts at installing Phone.apk always end up failing with a message simply stating that Application was not installed, and trying to use adb to install it returned error [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]. I used the search engine to look for similar questions, but they all involve some sort of a custom ROM. The tablet is rooted and running stock ICS 4.0.3 (no custom ROMS for this device yet, as far as I'm aware). Is there any way to acquire the missing .odex file other than requesting someone with the same device to upload it here?

No, man. The only way to get proper .ODEX, is get it from from original firmware. I recommend you to request both phone.apk and phone.ODEX, to 100% avoiding version mismatch.
