HI everyone, this is my first post here so if i ask any noobest questions, please forgive me.
Here is the issue, I downloaded the S3 apk pack from HERE and wanna install some apps to my Nexus S.
Tried a few methods including copy&paste by using Root Explorer, using adb to push the "AnalogClockSimple.apk", "AnalogClockSimple.odex" and "PhotoWall.apk" and "PhotoWall.odex" in to /system/app and permision set to rw-r-r, then reboot.
Whatever i did, it just never show up at my widget drawer..
Anybody can help?
Days gone and still stuck up
Thanks everyone
Try adb pushing or installing them to data/app and see if they work!

Isn't data/app for installed .apk?
How about the .odex file?
I'm actually not to sure. But you should try it anyway just to be sure.

If the apps are simply taken from Samsung rom they will not work in any way. They need to be ported if I'm right
My own phone's Samsung apps had to be ported to work on cm7 and cm9
Hope this will help
Don't waste time pasting all apks and odexes and find them not work
Correct me if I am wrong

Thanks for everything guys~

You didn't give them the appropriate permissions
rw-r--r--
and change ownership to root and root

On the phone you can use a root file explorer app(available in the market) and go to system then apps and change the permissions to what he says above.
Whenever i try installing a camera mod I always end up failing. Idk what im doing wrong.
I renamed my orginal camera.apk to camera.apk.bak and moved the mod to system/app but no luck.
I tried installing the mod also while it was in the system/app and still no luck.
idk what to do. Im not sure if the camera.odex has something to do with it. Id rename it to camera.odex.bak but I cant seem to find it in system/app.
Help?
Im also on cm7 nightlies and i was trying to install potatomans camera mod
Try changing permissions on the modded apk, owner- read, write, exec group- read, write, exec others- read, write

Yes sir it is checked.
After moving the apk to system/app did you reboot? You have to reboot usually for it to take effect

Yep. Tried that last night and it didnt work. Tried it just now and didn't work still.
Thanks for the ideas though.
Did you try to install the apk you moved to system/app by long pressing on it and press install? Its a last resort measure

Yep. Thanks for the advice.
Anyone know what im doing wrong?

Hey all,
I'm really interested in installing Deeco7's play store mod. The device is rooted and WT's custom ROM is installed. The problem is that I'm unable to install the modified version of the play store. He explains in his 'How to' that you need to backup and replace the Vending.apk file in the /system/app folder. Weirdly enough, there is no vending.apk to backup or replace...
Can anyone help me installing his mod? Or does someone know if it's - may be a better question - possible on our device?
Here is the link to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650116

i flashed in CWM about 5 times, but it's not working for me... fixed permissions and everything. Somebody else try
It looks like its for the GS2, if you read what was posted. Unless IM confused, but thats what i read
If you read his entire post in the 2 quotes it says flashing in cwm didn't work so he placed it in system\app manually

Thanks buddy for pointing out the completely obvious... Did it ever occur to you we might just be trying to see if it's compatible with the note? Placed manually in /system/app no go. You brain surgeons can give it a try tho

N00b Moment. So system isn't mounted by default?
Correct me if i'm wrong, but it'd be nice if CWM had some method for the app, or for devs to implement auto mounting of necessary partitions or folders.
I'm flashing sometimes, but nothing...

I pretty much did what was said in the instructions. I tried flashing and that ain't work so I extracted the files and placed the apk in system/app and the lib in system/lib then changed the permissions respectively.

What file manager did you use to place the apk and lib? Did you also have to mount when you transferred those files?
I've done the exact same thing, but no go for me. I'm unsure what I'm doing.
Nobody else mounted system in cwm and flashed the zip? Worked perfect over here
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
For me I got it to work by copied the apk over to the systems/apps dir. Renamed the original then changed the permissions. Works pretty good. The lock screen part seems to have issues for the display. It will show just a default music icon. then when i change a song using the controls, it will find the right text to display. Anyone else seeing that?
Thanks for sharing!

I've tried mounting it in TWRP, but no go for me. Unless I'm mounting it incorrectly?
I'm wanting to try the new jellybean keyboard from the Note 2 on my S3 and would appreciate if someone would upload the apk for me. After trying the demo out and seeing the number keys locked @ the top, I wanted to try it on my phone but didn't want to download the entire ROM, just to try it. If someone would upload it, I would appreciate it.

Thanks, I have the tar downloaded but don't know how to extract it either. Root explorer wont do it. I believe its just the samsungIME.apk, but I'm unsure if there's another that goes with it or not. If you can pull that from your phone, I would appreciate it. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. I downloaded it but it will not install, there may be a lib file that goes with it, to allow it to install or just be incompatible. I'll have to do some research. Thank you for the help.

I figured that out, after opening the apk. I did download the deodexed version from one of the ROM developers and it installs, but force closes instantly. The files are different, in a few aspects but I'm working on some lib files now. Hopefully that will work...........
