My Galaxy SII Sim Card reader blew but all else still works well. Can I load a Player Rom to keep using like an (g*d forbid!!) ipod touch? I want to get rid of all the "phone stuff." Any ideas or thoughts?
Thanks m8s!

No don't do that as it will brick your device! Just hide the phone and messaging apps if they bother you

Another GSII ROM will still have the phone junk, right? I guess I'll just play with the System Apps and try to pull the unwanted ones.
Thx.

Froze them with titanium backup..not good idea to remove them randomly.I have a phone and contact app even its just player because itc easier for me to add contact on 5.0 inch screen and then android synchronise it with my android phone.

Give me the name of the apk and Ill post it.
there you go
Out of interests sake why do you want it? The inbuilt player is rather pathetic.
Thank you so much. Downloaded and tried to install, didn't work. I just downloaded another video player from the market and it works better anyways. Also I uninstalled motocast notifications and now I get no SMS notifications lol so guys probably wanna stay away from that one. Using handcent instead now, which that works better as well.
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated

i think this one can't be installed.. you have to copy it to \system\apk and setperm to rw/r/r. anyway, i use MX Video Player and it works awesome.

You can't use it without the needed Blur framework and libraries. Porting OEM apps isn't so easy.
i believed he wasn't trying to port anything as he said he just deleted the video apk

I've installed it by putting the apk into system/app changing the permissions, rebooting, and then installing with root browser from system/app. The thing is that it says that there's some kind of network issue, but I read somewhere that its because Samsung blocked its servers. And they say that there's a lot of stuff it can do that vlingo can't plus it talks back like siri

The network error issue is because it looks for I9300 string, which is specific to Galaxy S3 (they are not making it easy for everyone)
Here is the link to the modified apk which already modify within the apk to pass the I9300 back to vlingo network: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664785
download the "Modified APK" to your SD card then uninstall the previous version before install the new one.
Just install like any other normal apk. Hope this work for you
Be sure to let us know if it works!
i tried it once...after reading a lot...i downloaded the signed apk file and changed permission and then try changing your build.prop
change the product and device to GT-I9300
thats capital i at GT-I9300
then u must be on ics rom

The installation/configuration of on-screen keyboards seems to be broken too, at least judging from your writing.
What is the exact error message or doesn't it show the apps at all? Are they shown on play.google.com?

However Temple Run works just fine. As long as the OP doesn't tell us what exactly is going wrong it's pointless to guess.
Whatsapp and Temple Run works fine for me but the thing is temple run game sound cracks up and it cuts it doesn't play smoothly feels like i am lagging. Anyone having this issue or is it me having a hardware issue?

Wanted To Help You But Really Couldn't Find It
Is there an easy way to do this? I tried Kies but could not find the option to do this.
Please help.
Titanium Back Up and restore is the best way. Rooted though!

Rom tool box pro is good too to back up your stuff if needed!

Thanks for the replies. But the user doesn't want to root his device.
This is not mine. Any option to transfer it without rooting?
Edit: This is not mine as I will not make the same mistake ever again!
Take that Samdung?
Phew! I actually thought you had bought a Lagdung S4!
What a relief
Hey you could try to use Samsung Switch. I believe it's made for transferring data from and to Samsung devices. I think it's downloadable in Google Play.

try moborobo it's a pc program which backups messages , numbers , call , logs , apps ,data , songs , videos and no need for root

This is the best way! And I am speaking from experience, works flawlessly and you can backup to external SD if you want to. Since you are not rooted, you need to use the PC app as well, after that, you can backup as if your phone was rooted.
With that Smart Switch app from Samsung you just have to download it on your S3 and new S4. Then let each others' backs touch, and everything will be transferred via wifi direct which is very fast.

Thanks guys for the recommendations. Here are my take on these:
Samsung Switch - tried this, useless as F!
Helium - could have taken that route were it not for the software I used
Sorry Glebun. Won't happen again.
As for the software I used, it's Wondershare MobileGo for Android. Did what it's supposed to do. Pretty much.
I just hate that there are multiple entries in the phone book. For example, he has a contact with multiple numbers, all of them are going to be on a separate entries. Strange.
Should've tried Helium.

Hey!
So around a week ago I installed 4.1.2. android on my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.
First of all, It has been released officially for Ace 2, but it worked good for only first 2 or 3 days. Now its a complete disaster. It runs smooth only until I open any kind of app. Im starting to think about reinstalling 2.3.6 back, but I really like the Jellybean. Maybe anyone here knows how to fix this problem?
For example, this morning when i took my phone in hand for first time today, I opened youtube and turned device horizontally. They alarm clock started to ring and It didnt even offer me to shut it off. When after like 3 minutes i managed to do it I went back to youtube and there I turned device back vertically and video just stayed horrizontally , freezed and just with sound. And couldnt even turn that off for like another 5 minutes. And this goes with most of the apps. Its really annoying.
Hope to see some solutions
Did you use greenify root app?
It hels you to hibernate apps when you are not using them.
Also try not to use memory hog apps..

Havent used any app for now.
Android was installed with official wirmfare with Odin3 v1.3.
And what is memory hog app , and what if my phone is not rooted?
A memory hog app is an app which constantly runs in the background and drains the memory..
For example crappy apps like Samsung chat and others..

Rooting will allow you to remove bloatware from your phone and hence speeding up your phone.

whats bloatware? sorry im kind of new to this stuff..
and I just found out that the youtube is the only thing that makes my phone freeze. when i open a video it just starts lagging and freezes the phone. everything else works fine. could it be some kind of update (youtube) problem?
and also... do I get some other advantages of rooting my phone too ?
