[Q]How to replace system apk's ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hiho currently Im on Omega v5 Rom.
I pretty much like the themed apk's from BlackStaR.
Is it possible to replace the Omega apk's?
thanks

If there both stockish yes i dont really see a problem.......just extract them from the Rom you want to replace them with the new ones and reboot.
i would do them one at a time so IF there is a problem you can just put back the apk that came with the omega Rom. but i dont think you can do that Aokp to stockish. just saying since i know that omega has stockish and aokp

works great. thanks

[Q] about developers modding roms

so, i've been changing ROMS like socks at the last month(cognition criskelo vilian) also kernels and modems. Now, i read somewhere that these roms are just removing .apk and adding to it, changing looks and themes and so.
I wonder,is that true? because in this situation i'd rather take a new stock rom and change it to my preferences.
I also read that the only dev group that actually changes things is the cyanogen with the CM7 which currently is not for me.
so, performance wise i can take stock rom, uninstall all the APK that i dont need\use and put a kernel to my selection, adding to it a theme, and technically its the same?
what are the actual differences between flash a dev rom and stock rom other than what i described?

Yes, it's mostly the same. If you're happy adding su, changing the kernel and removing what you want, feel free. Look to see if any of the ROMs are actually advertising any real features, and you will see they are not. Modem files even tend not to be included in the ROMs.
You will get a more recent build than the official releases, but no reason why you can't start with that yourself.

Yes is fine but to me it isn't smooth like with stock ROM,esspecially when you change bethween homescreens..same is with every custom ROM,but I have red that is due to deodoxed ROMs...the stock is odexed so it is a little bit smoother..
Try LeoMar75 Odexed Rom, it has fully Hardware accelerated browser and a Kitchen App.
With this you can change the Rom just how you like with one click, themes, apps, features etc.
i'm using VillianROM 1.4 (a fully Deodexed Rom) and it as smooth as it could be. check if anything is clearing your Ram all the time as after it's been cleared you will have some lag loading your home screens but only for a few sec.

I'm guessing you are rooted currently, so you have to find a ROM that is deodexed, install that rom, then install the theme. I think you are trying to install the theme over non odex.
To get out of the bootloop, just delete data in recovery and restore a backup.
Thx u for quick response. So the theme work only on custom Deodexed rom? Well, i will find the custom rom n try it. Thx again

Not sure if it will work on ka 15,but works perfectly on stock rom.Try manually swapping apk's with giving correct permissions,but settings apk won't work that way

I want to port the AOKP messaging app to a stock based ROM. AOKP has MMS.apk and for stock based, we use Conversations.apk.
Can someone pls help me out?
MMS.apk has more features like the SMS popup which is in-built and also the ability to insert emojis. It is also much faster. Which is why I want this app.

[Q] touchwiz on aokp rom?

I am running aokp rom and I wanted to see if touchwiz could be installed on it. And if so where can I get it?

Won't work. TouchWiz is not compatible with AOKP. If you want TouchWiz, just install a TouchWiz based ROM. There are dozens out there.
That is not entirely correct.
you can actually install a port of the touchwiz 4 on any custom rom aokp/aosp.
Just download this and install. I guarantee it will work. i have tested it on my own SGS 2.

If you dont want to flash it, you can also extract the apk from the zip and then install as usual

Interesting. I stand corrected.
I still don't get why you would do this though...
Yes
Maybe he wants the tweak settings that aokp has, or just a light rom with touchwiz without any bloat.
I wonder too why he wants it.

Can I flash a Mms.apk to replace SecMms.apk?

Hi guys,
I'm running on Omega ICS V13.1/Siyah kernel v1.5.2/ Motomoto Theme. I really love the theme except for the message part wich is much better than the original ugly grey box from samsung, but not as awesome as the ultra-sleek cool black and blue from Blackstar ROM. So I would like to take the Blackstar Mms.apk and flash it on Omega v13.1. But Omega is using "SecMms.apk" and Blackstar is using Mms.apk. Can I just flash the Mms.apk like this or should I rename it SecMms.apk? Or is it even possible to do?
Generally - yes, but then MMS doesn't works. I have the same problem. Maybe the mms doesn't work only for me?
