I've searched, and I can't figure out why when I put the tw calculator in the /system/app folder and fix permissions that the program wont show up in the app drawer or anywhere else. Can someone help me?
forgot to mention that I did have it mounted rw as well. Just as a side note, I deleted the stock ugly calc that came with Eugene's FrankinWiz and was trying to put the original TW Calc back in. No matter what I do I can't get it to show up in the app drawer, etc.
I know it's a noob question but can anyone help?

Are you putting both the stock tw calendar .apk AND the .odex file in system/app and rebooting?
I put a step by step for replacing the stock calendar in the general sticky thread, perhaps try there?
So I need to push the odex file too? Would this work for all share and the office app as well? I'm trying to get them back into frankenwiz.
I did read your sticky post about calendar, calculator seems different.

Ahh, just realized you said calculator, and not calendar. I know nothing of Eugene's rom, but if there is a .odex, and I asssume there is then yet, it too would need to be put in system/app
Or you could just pull deodexed apk's of the apps you want from the deodexed rom in the bible sticky in the dev section. Thats what I did for eugenes vibrant9 for allshare, works well. I haven't tried it with frankenwiz though.

How would deodexed make it easier? Does it push the same or?

Because eugenes roms are deodexed. I personally dont know but im sure some dev could explain, but when I try copying a odexed apk and odex file to system/app it never shows up in the app drawer, but the deodexed apk alone will. Just try it.

Thanks for the help. I got everything into the FrankinTwiz except for allshare. I believe it's dlna.apk but pushing it doesn't put it in the app drawer.
Anyone have any luck getting allshare to work with FW?
Would anyone be able to deodex the official ji6 update and package it into a flashable zip?
I'm new to this, but I tried using xultimate. It doedexed the system/app and the system/framework
But I didnt know how to get them installed, so I copied them over one by one using root explorer after deleting the odex files.
For the most part everything worked, I even got the stock lockscreen to work by copying over the android.policy.jar from eugene373s thread, but 3 things bugged me. It constantly took 5 minutes to boot up. But thats not one of the bugs. The battery icon was completely gone. The market would load, but nothing could be downloaded, and the camera would fc without even opening.
I nandroided back in the meantime.
If anyone could do this or help me do it myself i'd appreciate it.

Good One
I also would like this. I prefer making my own changes to my phone. All I want is the deodexed, nothing else.
thanks!
Would someone be so kinda and send me their "contacts.apk" from their "/system/app" folder? I got delete happy tonight when doing a conversion from touchwiz launcher to GoEX and deleted contacts without realizing that besides showing contacts it also has system calls as well, LOL.
I can still use my phone, and using GoContacts I have a functional dialer / contact viewer, but there is a few little annoyances by not having the stock contact.apk file installed.
To get the file as long as your rooted, just browse to / system / app and you'll see the .apk
Thanks for the help
I don't think I can because I am not rooted, but I'll bump for you. Good luck
There are a few contacts.apk files in the Themes/Apps sub-forum. Damn XDA app keeps FCing on me every time I try to copy the URL so you have to look yourself, but they're there.
if you still need it have all the stock apks from my phone saved just incase this happened to me......
let me know
I remember the dialer before i upgraded to ICS had a tab at the top for contacts, i could click that and find the contact i wanted, hell i could even send a SMS from there by swyping the contact name to the side...
The new dialer for ICS has contacts listed under the menu button, meaning its one more keypress to get there. It just doesnt "flow" as well, if that makes sense.
Im wondering, has anyone else noticed this? how can i get back the old dialer? Are there any good tweaked ICS roms that have this (and other) improvements? Im sorry but search didnt come up with anything and this place is crazy (two android development sections!?!) i couldnt find anything when i searched that met what im looking for.
Im currently running XXLPQ stock
hey there, i am using resurrection remix 1.4 w/ siyahkernel3.1rc6, and the dialler app for ics has contacts at the top of the dialler if thats what your looking for? its got 3 tabs, dialler, recent calls, contacts
That's exactly what inn looking for, any chance you can post the dialer apk for me?
i will do a titanium backup and see if i can get hold of my apk
EDIT: the two files i attached, put it in sd card, titanium backup... i THINK this will work, i would to a nandroid backup just to be sure, then try restoring the apps (search for phone in titanium)
pm me if i dnt reply to this thread
No go on the titanium backup, didn't wanna show up in my list, i cleared my titanium folder so there was nothing else, put the files in, restarted, start TB, no backups found for the dialer.
Try using root explorer and finding your dialer apk and post that? I can manually replace the file
thats the thing its not called dialler lol, its called phone, and seems to be fragmented into two parts =S lol let me see if i can find someting else
EDIT: try un g zipping the file so it shows an APK file and try pushing it to the system maybe? or installing it
EDIT 2: i managed to extract these apk's from the resurrection remix rom:
contacts, contactsprovider, phone, phonesky
hope it helps
Perhaps both Phone.apk (and .odex if applicable) and Contacts.apk (and .odex if applicable)?
my bad let me find .odex
EDIT: cant find .odex but try push the above found in system (on the rom.zip)

You don't have Phone.odex and Contacts.odex? That means YOU'RE on a deodexed ROM... But IF the other guy who is requesting the files is on an odexed ROM, he will have an extra step of removing the applicable .odex files. But he may already know that. (and it's always recommended to back anything up that you may end up needing again if you remove it)

I had that problem with "Resurrection rom 1.1" and believe me you better re-flash the ROM than s***ing with .apk-s... Didn't work for me so if you don't want to flash again you may use exDialer from the market, it's a good app, has the "swipe" functions and ICS themes, I used it for a week before switching to RR 1.4.
Ya def need one with an odex file...

No... you don't.
Back up the .apk file you intend to replace, along with their corresponding .odex file. Then REMOVE the .odex file and replace the .apk.
For example, if he gives you Phone.apk, and you have Phone.apk and Phone.odex, then COPY your original copies of Phone.apk and Phone.odex to a safe place, then delete Phone.odex, and replace your existing Phone.apk.
I've done this before, and used a deodexed Phone app on my odexed firmware.
Tried that but it didn't seem to work, after restart i lost service and couldn't dual out and had several other services complain on me, perhaps it's not comparable with my system?

If his version of Android is different than yours, then his apps probably wouldn't work for you.
Going back to read the thread, he said he is on Resurrection Remix 1.4. Looking at the thread for that ROM, it is AOKP based, with elements from CM9. What firmware are you on? You said you're on ICS, but you never mention specifically what ROM. Are you on stock? Then yeah, his apps probably won't work for you.
damn a shame it wouldnt work, try out go dialler tho if you want quick contacts access, from the dialler you just have to swipe to change to contacts... i used to use it but the themes arent as good as the ones we have lol
That would explain it I'm running LPQ stock...

I've not seen any mods for stock ICS to have this. A quick google search also turns up nothing for stock ICS.
So if you absolutely want this in ICS, you will need to flash a custom ROM.
EDIT to add: I should rephrase; you also have the option of using a third party dialer that has contacts integrated. But if you want to have the dialer that is included in the ICS ROM to have the contacts tab, you'll need to flash a custom ROM.

I would be fine with a custom rom based off one of the samsung sources but i dont frequent this side very often (usually on the asus transformer forum) to know which are good and which to avoid. Any suggestions?

someone plese help me!
i've got a samsung galaxy s2 hd lte (sgh-i757m)...and i'm having problems finding much information for my phone on here...i know its older, but i just got it...i finally managed to root it using a galaxy s3 sgh i757 root....here is my problem...i'm sooooo confused!....when i rooted it i kept the stock rom that was on there... ics 4.0.4....and it had the dialer and the contacts apk that i love...the one you can slide left or right to call or text....since then i've updated to cyanogenmod 9, and love all the features of it, but it looks like it has the jellbean contacts apk...the real ugly white one that can't swipe left to right to text ect....I've found some downloads of the old contacts apk, but am having no luck installing them!....I've even tied restoring to the old stock rom, then copying the contacts apk into the downloads file, then re-load cm9 and move the contacts apk into the system/apps folder to replace the one's already in there but no luck.....this is soooooo frustrating!.....
.i have to admit i'm a bit of a noob...but both my stock rom and the cm9 show as 4.0.4, so should the contact apk not be transferable???? and why are they different in the first place!!!....I've enabled unknown sources to allow third party apps, and i've changed permissions in the apk to rw-r--r-- and replaced the contacts apk then reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot, and nothing....then i've tried to install apk.......and it shows installing, and the working blue bar, then just says "application not installed"...wtf???...i'm so frustrated!....is there something i'm missing with the owner/groups thing?....i just really want to make this happen....i've spent at least 12 hours on it already.....
please help!!!!!!
