[Q] Using JoyOS apps in other ROMS? - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

I had been using JoyOS for a while, but couldn't live without headphones, so I switched to LewaOS. I HATE the launcher it comes with, and it doesn't come with a music player, so I've been trying to get the apps from JoyOS to install. Simply installing it with ADB just gives me an error, and pushing the apk to /data/app or /system/app doesn't work. I've tried with and without the .odex file. Any help as to what I should do?

Hm... Well, do you know how to deodex an APK? I think that might be a good point for me to start working on getting the apps working in other ROMs.

Wow. That's quite the tool. Thanks!
Edit: How would I go about backing up my current setup? Is the Clockwork ROM Manager app sufficient? Or do I have to use something else?
Edit 2: Scratch that, backing up works fine from CWR. Didn't know it could do that. It only backed up /system on the Nook Simple Touch xD

Swype Beta is open again

For those who been waiting to get into the beta, it's reopen to all. If you have the factory One still installed, you will have delete the swype apk, and the swype lib file. Reboot and install the swype installer and so on.
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?1976-Swype-Beta-OPEN-again!-Happy-Holidays-from-SwypeInc
Just note this:
If your phone came pre-installed with Swype
DO NOT download this beta (it won't work)

**Edit** Like others stated, you will have to uninstall the swype that came pre-installed before using the Beta. (I was already a beta user....)

all u have to do is uninstall the default one. I'm not having any problems.
Just curious, but since we MyTouch owners already have swype, what would be the point of joining the beta?

True, just use root explorer to move it over then reboot. Benefits would be to have the most up-to-date version and one with a voice button.

Some of us running CM6 lost swype, so this is the perfect alternative to getting swype back other than the ADB method.

I can uninstall the Swype that came with it and install the new beta, but the service force closes on me when it attempts to verify the license. Any suggestions?

U have to be rooted. Follow the first post. Delete the swype apk and the lib file, reboot, then install the beta
I think that may be the issue I was having replacing swype, I didn't delete the lib file. I may give it another shot tonight.

Yeah bro, the **** was driving me crazy since I got this phone. I delete the apk but mine wouldn't install. I was missing my swype with it mic
I have done everything the instructions say and during the licensing the Swype process "com.swype.android.inputmethod" stops unexpectedly.
I am rooted...i deleted the swype apk, the lib file and rebooted. I then installed it and I continue to have this problem.

Does anybody know if registering for the beta will interfere with the preinstalled version from working/authenticating? Or does the preinstalled version not need to to authenticate?

I don't why u would want to go back to the preinstalled one, but all u need is the apk and the lib, there's a thread here if u didn't back it up. There's no authentication
Am I suppose to be using the swype installer for this? That may be causing the problems.

Of course. If u in the beta, that is what should have been sent to u
OK, then I'm stumped again. Even when I try installing from a apk, it says it's going to replace a current application. I don't get that because I thought I removed swype. How can it replace something that's not there?
Update: After reboots and file deletions...it was finally able to authenticate. I don't know the exact steps, but it working now. Thanks for everyone's help.

Insufficient Storage Available AOKP

I got the Insufficient Storage Available error when I install new apps from Google Play, I can't even install apk, so I think this is not Google Play problem. I have plenty of space life. Running the latest AOKP. Anyone having this problem?
I'm guessing this didn't work?
Try this.
It also happens when you have the app still in the data/apps folder yet it's already uninstalled. Go to your data/apps folder with Root Explorer and check if the .apk is still there. If it is, delete it.

Thanks for your advice, I used mini tool partition from my computer, but when I checked in my phone's storage, still wasn't shown the ext4 partition that i did with minitool, so just tried with cwm partition (1GB Ext and 0MP swap) and it worked! But before I try this one I downloaded link2sd from play store! That's it! Now my internal memory is 0.94GB, wow...before it was only 120MP!

The app didn't work. It runs ok, but has no effect in solving this issue... at least on my case: Galaxy S2 running Cyanogen 9 final release. I also had this issue from time to time with the RC1 of CM9, but it always disappeared without me doing nothing (the problem only happened back then when updating apps from Google Play).

[Q] Stock Apps on Custon ROM

Hi Guys, This is my first thread here. I'm new to Android and flashing custom ROM's. I've recently bought Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 (International version). I used Siyah kernel for Dual-Booting FoxHound along with Stock ROM. I really liked FoxHound because of improved performance, beats audio etc. I've decided to flash FoxHound as only ROM on my device but I fear that it will also remove the stock samsung apps which I really find useful.

S Planner
Is there any way to get these apps on FoxHound? Sorry I couldn't find any similar post here that's why I'm asking
You could use root explorer, copy them to your sdcard and install on your new rom. Should work fine if they don't have any other dependancies.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
you need to copy them to /system/app
as long as it's a Sammy ROM, it should work
I tried that but when I copy SMemo files to system/apps using root explorer it says that the files are copied successfully but they don't... Any solution for this I guess it has something to do with the permissions

Still Not Working...
The SMemo.apk's permissions are (rw-rw-r) and to move it to system/apps the permissions should be (rw-r-r). When I change the permissions they still look unchanged...
Are you sure you've given root access to root explorer...try changing the permissions with chmod command.

I've edited their permission to rw--r--r (0644) but the apps says 'Changing Permissions was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes.'
Update: Thank you guys, I've figured it out and now its working. Can you please tell me After moving S Memo files to System/apps should i install them manually?

I was saying that launching the apk manually won't install it.
Try clearing its data and make sure it's from the same firmware version

I downloaded S Memo apk for 4.1.2 JellyBean from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969991 and that worked like charm. Thanks
I'm also looking for Stock Music Player, I downloaded apk from same link but it is not working. Again it gives a pop up saying 'Unfortunately Music player has stopped'. I tried clearing data several times but no luck. Any solution?

[Q] Help with Renaming an APK

Hi,
I want to install an a New keyboard for my Cellphone, but the problem is that the name of the Keyboard is "Android Keyboard" and when i try to install the APK it says "An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed"....
Now I downloaded VirtualStudio Ten and decompiled,changed the name of the Keyboard in (Strings.xml) and recompiled it, after that signed and zipaligned it(which the Virtual Studio Program did itself while recompiling the Apk) , but even then i am getting the same error? i can see that the program is now shown with a different name which i edited myself in strings.xml,but still no go,exactly same error! Am i doing something wrong here?
The error probably persist because the keyboard which you're trying to install already exists on your phone.
i tried to install something form xda because i wanted the latest version of the app. But i couldn't install it.. turns out that my installed version was the latest version so i basically was trying to replace the exact same app with this app.. and it didn't work.
Hope i made it alteast abit more clear fro you in this matter

Nah, keyboard wont cause any kind of FC.. atleast it hasn't with me..
Lol renaming an app in the strings.xml file won't effect the package name, if you know a little java, you will understand what a package means, just search on how to do it and be warned its not that easy as renaming the app name in the strings.xml file.

Games aren't in games folder.

This is really annoying, when I put the new games in the games folder (which should already be there) when I restart my phone, they disappear and I have to put them back in again!

You need to remove the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/Exported folder (place it somewhere else). Once that's done do this:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder.
3. Reinstall Themer, place the Exported theme back where was.
Is it worth using? I have tried every launcher and theme apk that I can find and none of them seem to work 100%.

It depends what you're looking for. Themer is still in beta, so be advised that there will still be the occasional bug. If you're someone that often changes the look of their homescreen but wants to apply everything in just one click, then Themer is for you.

Yes. Okay I reinstalled everything, and still they do not save onto my games folder when I restart my phone! Some of them don't even appear in there even if I ticked them in the manager of the game folder. Is this just a bug on beta?
