So the Galaxy SIII apps from system/app and the framework of the SIII is out, I was wondering if anyone can port this! Especially the Launcher "Nature UX":
Here is it:
https://hotfile.com/dl/156420377/8d50db1/app_and_framework_deodex_zipalign_SGS3_XXALE8.rar.html
It's already in the works. Go through the search and type in "aroma installer galaxy s3" it should be around there. I'd make it easier for you by posting a link but I'm still in that 10 post thresh.
Here is a link for the one I am using. You can either flash via CWM or just move the apk and lib file to the system/app & system/lib files, change permissions (rw_r__r__) and reboot to get them to show up.
But, I think you need ICS for this to run. I have CM9 on my player and it runs very nice.

Hey guys,
I had done this before on an older custom TW ROM on my Tab 10.1, but I cannot get this to work at all on Paris 5 or the new 3.2 ROM by task.
I renamed the current DigitalClock.apk to .bak in Root Explorer, rebooted, moved the modified one to system/app and changed permissions to be similar, then rebooted again but widget does not show up in the list.
I then tried doing this all via ADB on the PC, which I think is how I got it to work the first time. I deleted the modded apk from system/app to start fresh. I did an install command of the modded apk into system/app after mounting system in ADB shell. Then chmod 644ed the apk. I rebooted and still didnt show up.
How did I/do you get this to work?!
Not sure but if this belongs in General, feel free to move it. Thanks!
Anyone??? This is killin me
I can't answer your question but I do have another option, look in the market for "sense analog glass clock" there digital clock is awesome and can have alot more info displayed too.

question is digital not analog clock bro
Hey there, if I'm retarded and don't know how to search properly, flame away, but I found nothing. I really like having the allshare feature to stream to my Samsung TVs and Bluray players, but all the non-original roms have removed the allshare application. Does anyone have some insight for me?

Custom roms remove lots of stuff,no worries because you can always download a rom that you know has what you need and extract stuff.I'm pretty sure you are looking for this Dlna.apk for allshare.I extracted it out of the newest n7000 note stock dodexed-rooted rom.You will have to put it in system/app file and set correct permissions.There is a lot of info on how to do this in the forums if you don't know how.

It still doesn't seem to want to let me install it no matter what I do or where I place the APK. I must be missing something.
Are you using tw rom or aosp rom. the stock dlna is for tw only. there are other apps that work like twonky.

To install .apk's you need a file manager like esf file explorer and set the permissions in the settings of the app to:root explorer/up to root/mount file system as writable(this is how you are allowed to change permissions of .apk's) then it's a matter of moving the .apk file into the system/app folder and changing the properties of the .apk to rw-r--r--(see attached).That .apk might rely on .lib files or other files to run,I'm not sure,I looked for any lib files that looked like they might of belonged with that .apk but I couldn't find any.Anything really beyond this I am not advanced enough to help out getting it to run on your rom but many here are though.If you are on an ICS rom it will run on it though if you get the correct files and permissions.Good luck.

(Thread featured on linuxine.com!!Read the article:-http://www.linuxine.com/story/ultimate-look-and-feel-changing-theming-guide
Important:This is a request from me,please post some screenshots for me to use.ill give u credit and will be grateful to you
This is a complete theming guide for android!!!it allows you to change the look of android completely to diifferent skins and os's
Windows Phone 7
This is a simple procedure to change the interface of android to windows phone
First of all,I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARM YOU MAY CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!
First download these awesome softwares from other cool devs available on the play store or as apks on the net
Launcher 7(Home screen)
Photo safari(Pictures hub)
Z player (Music Player)
WP7 Notifications(Notifications.Duh!!)
My xbox live(games hub)
Wp7 Lock(lock screen)
WP7 Contacts(Contacts)
Wp7 Phone(optional)
Wp7 calculator
Wp7 email
Downloaded? Now for the second step,Shift all the user apps to system apps.Apps like the phone and music should be replaced.Xbox live,calculator can just be loaded.NoteELETE THE ODEX FILES IF YOURE DELETING A SYSTEM APP!!!
In case you dont knw how to make a user app to system read on,else,skip the next para
There are two ways you can convert a user app to system:The NOOB way and the XDA way!
Noob wayownload titanium backup pro,long press an app,go to special functions and click move to system app Or download system app mover.
XDA way:
Important: Make sure to allow any SuperUser permission requests that you may get during these steps..
Procedure
Configuring ES File Explorer for root read/write access (required only once):
Launch ES File Explorer, press Menu and tap ‘Settings’.
In the settings, enable the ‘Up to root’ check box.
Further down in the settings, enable ‘Root Explorer’ check box. You will get a warning that you should confirm.
You will then get the Superuser permissions request that you must allow.
Finally, enable the ‘Mount File System’ check box, and press the back key to get back to the explorer interface. ES File Explorer is now configured to work as a root explorer. You do not need to do this again on the same device now, unless you uninstall ES File Explorer, perform a factory reset or install another ROM.
Finding the APK of an already-installed normal app (skip to step 3 if you already have the APK):
First of all, install the app from Play Store, if you haven’t already done that.
Launch ES File Explorer and go to /data/app. (You may have to press the back button to get to / first).
If you know the icon of the app, you can easily find it here. If you are having trouble finding the app here due to the confusing names or because of having a lot of apps installed, just search for the app in Google Play Store in a web browser and look at its Play Store link for the name. The file name will basically be the part after ?id= in its market link (and before any other question mark that may or may not appear in the link).
If you already have the APK of the file that you want to install as a system app, make sure you have transferred it to your device’s SD card if you haven’t done that already. Also make sure you know the path where you have copied it on the SD card.
Once you have located the required APK on the SD card from ES File Explorer, tap-and-hold on its icon till you get a menu, and tap ‘Cut’. You should see a little blue arrow on the bottom of the screen now. (You may select ‘Copy’ instead of ‘Cut’ if you are copying a file over from the SD card and want to keep a copy there. In case of copying an APK from /data/app, always use ‘Cut’.)ES File Explorer Copying
Now press the back button till you reach / and then browse to /system/app/
Tap the little arrow that you see on the bottom of the screen. It will bring up a pane with the icon of the copied file.
Tap on the file’s icon, and it will be transferred to /system/app/.
Now find the app’s icon in the list of files there and tap-and-hold on it till you get the menu.
Scroll down in the menu till you see ‘Properties’ and tap on it. You will now see the properties dialog.
Tap the ‘Change’ button in front of the Permissions to bring up the permissions dialog.
Make sure everything under ‘Read’ is checked, only ‘User’ is checked under ‘Write’ and nothing is checked under ‘Execute’ Your screen should look like the following:ES File Explorer Permissions
Tap OK on this screen and then on the Properties screen. Your app’s permissions are now set correctly.
Reboot your device. Your app is now ready to be used as a system app.(optional)
Well were done!
youre ready to use ur brand new WP7!!!

Hi Guys,
I want to know if we can use Samsung Galaxy Grand's keyboard app (samsungIME.apk) on Samsung Galaxy S2?
The reason I'm asking this is that I like the additional row for numbers that can be accessed easily. I know that there are few threads with the same topic but all of them focus on using the note 2's keyboard app. I'm asking for Grand's keyboard app because S2 and Grand have the same screen resolution 480 x 800 (although the screen sizes are different). I'm not sure if this will help in better compatibility and less rework on the porting.
Guy I need help here. Please come out and lets make it a success. I want to keep things as close to stock as possible. Can someone post the stock keyboard app (samsungIME.apk) from Samsung Galaxy Grand?
Here you go the ported s note 2 keyboard
https://www.box.com/shared/kefoo20qp43fubnji061
Is working only on stock rom.
and you should know that galaxy grand keyboard and note 2 kb are the same
here's a link to clarifying you
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_grand_i9082-review-903p6.php
scroll to the bottom and you'll see the proof
I tried to use the apk you have provided but it didn't worked. It is still the same keyboard and there is no additional row with numbers. This is what I did after taking a backup of my original samsungime.apk and samsungime odex from system/app :
1# First I tried to install the apk like a normal app. It didn't get installed, pretty obvious.
2# I tried to copy the apk into system/ app folder using root browser lite. Reboot. it is still the same old keyboard.
3# I tried to change the permission, similar to other system apps in system/app folder. Reboot. Its still the same old keyboard.
Can you tell me how to get it done correctly.

Any Luck with working Grand Keyboard ?
having problem with your link, it says you have a bandwidth restriction , can you post a mirror, thanks
This is a guide that I do not remember being posted anywhere, but if it has been, mods feel free to remove
This is for Stock based touchwiz roms ONLY where the dev hasn't added a custom bootanimation, and instead the stock ATT globe animation (which is a .qmg file instead of a zip ) is present. CM, PA, or AOKP roms do not need this, as you can just replace the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media for them.
First off special credit goes to Androidmechanic for pointing me in the direction of the thread to do so located HERE
The thread has some pretty clear instructions, but apparently some people still had problems with getting it to work, so here's what I did:
1.) Download Busybox from the playstore, open up the app and follow the instructions to install it. Even if you already have busybox from a previous time, a clean install of a fresh one will make this process work.
2.) Download the Bootanimation4u.zip AND Bootanimationzip4u.Samsungani.Only.zip from the thread linked above.
3.) Reboot into recovery and flash the Bootanimation4u.Samsungani.Only.zip FIRST, then flash Bootanimation4u.zip (I'm not sure if it is needed to flash both, but this is what I did to get it working.
4.) Reboot. Then paste any existing Bootanimation.zip files that you may have into /system/media through use of a root browser (ES File explorer, Root Browser, etc)
OR
if you don't have any bootanimation.zip files handy
you can download Boot Animation from the playstore and download and install from a PLETHORA of bootanimations. If you choose to do this follow these instructions, courtesy of XDA user ReelFiles
- install Boot Animations Root from the Play Store.
- Go into the app's preferences and change install location to /system/media/ and leave the default filename (bootanimation.zip) and go back to the main screen.
-. Select any bootanimation from the Server tab and hit Install. (Tablet ones at the bottom of the list look best.)
- Select the installed bootanimation again and hit Resize. Set it to 800x1280 30FPS.
-Tap the options key and select "Preview current" Make sure you like it and reboot.
You don't have to delete the .qmg files that Samsung uses for their bootanimation for this to work, but if for some reason this doesn't work for you, try deleting them and see what happens
Once done your bootanimation should be set! Happy Flashing!
Any idea on how to change the shutdown animation?

Shutdown animation is located system/media/video/shutdown. There is a shutdown.qmg file. I replaced mine with the stock intl' Samsung shutdown qmg file. Looks much better.
I have a request to make.I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 running Lollipop 5.0.1 and i tried and flashed the file but nothing happened,but the reason is probably becouse i tried this method first ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ection-how-t1897969/post31833122#post31833122 ) and made a mess of things. Now i see only the Samsung GS4 inscription and the blank screen until the device boots up.I want to switch back to the default boot animation but i can't seem to get it back no matter what i try and i no longer have my system/bin folder bckp.If you can point me to where i can download one or you have it and can shre it with me i'll be immensely grateful.
I've a Samsung S3 I9300 with Android 4.4.4: this method works with my device?
And is there a collection of bootanimation here on XDA?
Thanks
anyone know how to go back to using qmg files?
