Am i able to flash the google now file from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
With the stock recovery tool and without root rights?
Sry, i know this is a noob question, but i realy tried to find it out my self. :angel:
As nobody else has responded to this I thought I'd try to help. It says in the post you linked to that it requires an AOSP based ROM which we don't have for the Tablet S.
I've got Google Now on my tab using the apk but you won't be able to do it without root.
you can not flash other rom before someone crack the recory mode
for the google now,it is only a apk,so you can copy it by root explorer
------------------------------
These are the current instructions and download:
1.) Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2.) Rename the "signed_velvet-voicereco.apk" that you downloaded (link below) to: "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
3.) Place the renamed .apk in the system/app folder and set the permissions to rw-r-r
4.) Reboot and enjoy!
OR
1.) Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2.) Try to install the downloaded .apk off your sd just like any other .apk
post back if you successd.

Hello to all...!!!
Today I flashed my first custom ROM (void) on my LG P500 and as a noob I have some questions...
1) Where can I find some LG programms (memo and calendar) and the other LG widgets? I mostly interested in widgets "Weather","Calendar","Analog Clock" and "News and weather"
2) Is it possible to have the LG Keyboard on SMS app on this custom ROM which has only the Gingerbread keyboard?
3) When I had the stock ROM I had made a backup with "Titanium Backup" all my apps and I have it saved in my PC.Can restore in custom ROM only the apps which I want?
Thanks in advance....
For 1 and 2 download this: http://sinap.se/oo/void-sapps.zip and apply in recovery.
For 3 the answer is yes, you can restore which app you want.
Thanks you...!
One more question,I don't want to flash back every deleted system app but some of them.How can I do this?
Of course I don't want appadvisor,Car Home and some other crupps...
extract just the app that you want an put the in them data/app folder you need root file manager or from adb
ΟΚ,I'll try it and I will be back....
Thank you!
With the "File Manager" of void ROM,I can't copy-paste the apps into system/app .
What can I do for this?

Yes, you can.
Anyway, if you extract the files from void-sapps.zip you will see 2 folders. One of the is "system", inside of it, another called "app" there are the ".apk's" that you need corresponding to widgets and programs.
The "News and weather" widget is called "GenieWidget".
You can extract the ones you like to the root of your SD and then, from the File Manager in the phone, install them one by one.
before i've said that you had to have root file manager to copy and paste in system/app
or as Noejn says : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887281
No, you have to re-sign it. Use a program like this one.
Tutorial: How to flash only some sapps
1. Grab the sapps/gapps package
2. Extract it
3. Go to the extracted folder "/system/app/" and delete the applications you don't want to flash
4. Use the above program (zipsigner) to create a CROM.zip, put the extracted files there so you have 2 folders on the root of the zip: META-INF and SYSTEM. Then sign it and it should create a CROM-s.zip.
5. Rename the CROM-s.zip to MySapps.zip, put it in sdcard and flash.

Right, that make sense (to me) if I want to install most of them and leave out just one or two. What about if I only want just -one- widget from the void-sapps.zip?
Isn't better to uncompress void-sapps.zip and take that one out and put it on the SD card, then install it from there?
yes is right what you say but sometimes (for some lg's app) this method don't work

Right, and according to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10113607&postcount=35
(second part of Noejn questons/answer)
Also is not possible to install directly the Browser and Calendar.
I almost have found what I wanted from sapps zip,but I search for the stock internet browser.Which one of these is that?
I appreciate a lot your help!
how I sad can someone post apk from gsx v017
Download the v017 update ZIP if you haven't already and unpack the archive or simply double click it in Windows Explorer...
Deskclock.apk is located in system/app
Once you got hold of the file either push it to your phone by ADB or any other way you are familiar with.
Easy like that.
EDIT: Don't forget to reboot once you put the APK into /system/app on your phone.
I've installed the CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 by vo-1 MIRACLE Edition V4 ROM
but I'm unable to install any additional system apps (e.g. sms/mms, camera).
The thread says, I have to use CWM. But when using the CWM App to install any APK, after confirming, I only get, that the APK wasn't installed.
I also used a few apk installers and tried to install with a root filebrowser. Doesn't work either.
The allowing-non-market-apps option is enabled.
What do I have to do? Clearing any caches with CWM?
Found it!
TUTORIAL 5: Recover System Apps than have been removed from V3
-- Place your desired app or apps on your sd-card
-- Use Root Explorer and copy them
-- Go to system\app and press the Mount R/W button on right top
-- Paste the app or apps you have selected
-- Long press what have you just pasted and set permissions to rw-r--r-- for each app
-- Reboot phone

I would make it simple for u..
1) Simply flash the ROM as said in the thread from where u downloaded
2) Download those additional zip files he attached (system apps) at the bottom of his post
3) Download & install ES file explorer on ur phone (in its settings customize it to allow it to make changes to root directory and enable up-to-root directory etc. and grant it superuser access when it asks)
4) Now extract whatever system app u require from that zip file (say mms.apk) on ur SD card
5) Now go to /system/app and paste this file over there
I recommended u for ES file explorer so that u wont have to change any permission at all..just copy & paste
NOTE: First move the original file u will be replacing in /system/app to some other place to avoid any future problem
-----------------------------------
Hit THANKS if i helped

I rooted with the stripped down ROM. But i need the stock email app in order to sync my Exchange contacts Where can i get just this apk? Thanks !!
Right. Download my ROM for example and extract Email.apk from zip file. Then copy it using RootExplorer or adb into /system/app on your phone. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot.

Excuse my ignorance, but i can't seem to extract from any of the ROM's ive downloaded (can't find the link to yours if i click the ics one in your signature it just takes me to a long thread with no obvious links). I know how to use adb to get the file onto the phone, but cant figure out how to get it out of the .tar.ext4 file ?
download blazer rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746184
then use 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open the zip.
navigate to system/app and find email.apk
extract it from there (drag and drop it out of the 7zip window to your desktop)
then copy that to your phone ... either use adb to push it to system/app or use root explorer on your phone.
hope that helps
Hi, I realize that your rom says that it's just for Sprint, if I were to download it and take the contacts.apk from it, would that not work on my AT&T galaxy SIII?
I accidentally disabled it and am currently trying to find a way to get it back onto my phone. :'( *I already looked at my settings>applications>all and it's not there. [contact storage is there, but I can't find the application that I use to actually read that, after the disabling.//I raged on it for continually popping up on my advanced task manager.]

I rooted (using this method: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sch-i535-root-101633/) and ended up using the non-bloatware version and apparently the regular email app was considered bloatware for some reason because it disappeared.
So I tried following your instructions, but there was no "email.apk" in the download, so I figured you probably meant "exchange.apk." Followed the instructions, moved it to system\app, changed the permissions, and rebooted but it's still not showing. So I went back to try to install it manually, and it just tells me it wasn't installed successfully (and yes, I have "unknown sources" selected).
I am also not sure if this is the stock GSIII email app, based on the icon. Looks like the old yellow email icon to me.
DISCLAIMER: This requires root. If you dont have root, root your phone.
WARNING: This CAN damage your phone. Im not taking any resposibility if your phone gets bricked or if it breaks.
1. Download a root explorer like ES File Explorer.
(Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop)
2. Download your bootanimation from the internet (!Look for the right resolution!).
3. The file name of the bootanimation is always bootanimation.zip.
4. The directory of where the bootanimation.zip file is located, is always different, here is a list of some directorys:
/-system-media-bootanimation.zip
/-product-etc-media-bootanimation.zip
/-cust-preinstalled-public-media-bootanimation.zip
5. If you´ve found your bootanimation.zip (the original one) rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak
(basically a backup of your current bootanimation if you want to revert changes)
6. Now take the bootanimation you´ve just downloaded and copy it to the directory.
7. Change its permissions to: rw-r-r .
8. Now reboot your phone and see if it worked.
If you have any struggle doing this, feel free to ask.
