[Q] Samsung apps on custom ROM - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I use Slim ROM 2.7 on my S3, but have now lost samsung apps.
The thing I miss is the possibility to use SamsungDIVE to track my phone in case of it gets stolen. For that I need to have an samsung account, and can not get that now.
I have tryed to install samsung apps.apk and samsung apps for nexus.apk, but they need to update when started, and then app dont work anymore.
Any way to get this working?

slim is aosp so unless an app has been ported it won't work as they all need tw framework, however you can get tracker apps on play store, wether the relevant components are in slim I'm not sure, as slim is a stripped Rom for speed etc

Thank you for the reply.
I have bought Cerberus. Works great at tracking the phone.

I strongly recommend avast! mobile security.
Full anti-theft feature and firewall.
Includes GPS tracking and phone-locking (with root-installation) as well.

[Q] Samsung Dive activation issues

I recently upgraded from UnNamed GB to SHOstock2 ICS and saw the option to use Samsung Dive. I created a Samsung account from the phone and logged into samsungdive.com but all I get is a message saying "Register your mobile phone now!" "A Samsung Account is required to use the Samsung Dive service." -- I tried going to samsung.com and creating an account with the same credentials there, registered my phone, but still no luck. Does anyone have any ideas and/or has anyone gotten Samsung Dive to work correctly on the SGH-I777?
I did briefly when I flashed one of the international stock ics based roms (forget which). Logged in on my phone, then went to the computer and logged in to get the same message you had.. Logged out on computer and back in, and it worked. the locate feature then didn't work though when I tested.

Samsung dive uses a custom login. Google it to find the login. I'd provide a link but I am not able to right now.

That's interesting. I've logged in/out multiple times on both my phone and the website. Still gives me the same message.

Yes, it should be samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do and that's where I've been logging in.
Might be happening because Shostock removed some of the SamsungDive apks. If you have time, do a backup and try and see if registering/logging in with my ROM (link in sig) fixes it. Dive works for me on my ROM

Sounds plausible. It's certainly worth a shot. I'm downloading your ROM now and I'll update the thread with the results when I have a chance to install/check.

Results: I performed a wipe, then flashed ShishirROM ICS. After booting up and navigating to Settings -> Accounts to add a Samsung account, it informed me there was an update available for the Samsung app. I downloaded and installed the update, and logged into my Samsung account from the phone. I then logged into the samsungdive.com website from my computer and was successfully able to access Samsung Dive and successfully tested the locate and remote ring functions.
Conclusion: Samsung Dive is broken in SHOstock2 ICS (v1.1 as of this writing) and is functional in ShishirROM ICS.

Reporting this in my thread would have been helpful since I don't use that function I didn't know it was not working. Likely it is due to me not having the Samsung apps apk installed.
It will be taken care of for the next update.

That's great, thank you. On a side note I would have reported my findings in your thread but seeing as I spend nearly all my time in IRC instead of on the forums I didn't have enough posts under my belt to go post there. I was going to point it out in IRC when you were online today but you found my thread first. You're just too good.

It isn't because of Samsung Apps. I think one of the "safe to delete" apks is actually tied to Samsung Dive. If you have a record of which apks you removed from Shostock, let me know and I'll be able to tell you exactly which one you needed for Samsung Dive.
From this site here: http://download-apk.blogspot.com/2011/10/apk-default-samsung-galaxy-s2.html
It looks like dive requires:
IMEITracker.apk, MobileTrackerEngineTwo.apk, wipereceiver.apk

Hi guys. I am new in this actions. I recently Install AOKP Rom in my AT&T SG2 but it´s not including the option to create a Samsung account and later activate the options of the app from the web. Do you know if the problem is the ROM, the phone or AT&T block this options. With the stock GB Rom never can made the register. Thanks a lot for your help

If you read through the entire thread it should become clear what the issue was. The phone itself can support Samsung Dive, however the stock version provided by AT&T does not include Samsung Dive. Furthermore, in many custom ROMs the packages required to operate Samsung Dive have been removed as "bloat". Essentially, Samsung Dive will work on some custom ROMs but not others. For instance it doesn't work on SHOstock2 ICS, but it does work on ShishirROM ICS.
Bottom line: If you don't see the option to create a Samsung account, or the website interface just plain isn't working for you, the ROM you're running likely doesn't support Samsung Dive.
Just use Android lost. Download android lost from playstore its free. And has lots of functions. Wipe data,lock phone, alram , GPS, take pics from front or back cam. Etc. All that its free.

That's annoying, I just spent a couple of hours trying to get this to work, I wish I had read this first!
On my Galaxy Note (N7000, international) with ICS, it required the following two services for tracking in Dive:
-Samsung account (com.osp.app.signin)
-Sogtware Update (com.wssyncmldm)
It was safe to remove these:
-Samsung Apps
-Samsung Backup
-Samsung Backup Provider
-Samsung Browser SyncAdapter
-Samsung Calendar SyncAdapter
-Samsung Cloud Data Relay
-Samsung Contact SyncAdapter
-Software Update (com.sec.android.fotaclient)

Samsung Dive?

Anyone gotten Samsung Dive to work? I'm on FreeGS3 R5 and I have all the Samsung Apps installed except for the backup app. I register my Sammy account and turn on Remote Controls but the Dive website just keeps directing me to set it up and Remote Controls isn't clickable.
i get too and i am on stock rooted.
shows as samsung account registered as well as google account registered

I've also had lots of problems using Sammy Drive and simply gave up after a while...I'd recommend the app Cerberus. You will be astonished about all it's functionality. You can trace the phone, wipe it, turn on the Mic or the cam silently...You can take a photo of the thief while he is looking at the phone (with or without flashlight), you can let the phone play a very loud alarm and take a photo from the front cam, if someone miss it, and so on.
Anyway, there are many apps that accomplish the task much better than Samsung.
Greets.
Can you name some please? Im looking for something with similiar service as samsung dive because i really need it. Thx!

It took me a while of removing and re-adding the samsung account in order to let me turn on that slider in the remote controls menu. I even had to reflash the rom to eliminate the theme as being the cause.
Took me a while but got it working eventually. Glad I did. It works well. Better than WaveSecure.
Thats the problem, the slider works fine but the site doesnt acknolwedge the app.

[Q] Possible to add samsung account to ROM that doesnt have it?

Hey forum! Verizon note 2- touchwiz roms
I have played around with most of the touchwiz roms available, and the one thing that I actually use is the samsung account to sync my snotes with my note 8.0. VZW roms have the syncing disabled within the account(thanks vzw). I have been running Cleanrom ACE 4.7 for ever, as its the only ROM that has every feature I need (Sammy account, 5 minute setting for syncing exchange email). I did try to upgrade to Clean ACE 5.0, but the native email sync went to 15 minutes. No good, for me. Push tends to keep the phone awake and affects battery. Really, its the flasher in me that just wants to try new stuff, as there is so much good stuff to play with.
-Basically looking for International based roms that work on VZW, with Samsung account syncing capabilities and 5 minute sync in the native email setting.
-If not, the ability to ad the samsung account to a ROM that doesnt have it that works on VZW.
I feel that I am so close to finding the perfect "newer" rom. Every time I flash a new one, it is just missing one ingredient that I need. Its a vzw vs the world thing- and because of work I am stuck on vzw. Great coverage, just affects the fun with the phone!
Anybody know of a rom(besides clean 4.7) that can achieve what I am looking for?- thanks

hi. I have the exact same problem but im on i9100 I want to use custom roms but they don't have samsung account option. some roms even include samsung link app but its useless without being able to add the samsung account. you will receive an error that it cant find the Samsung account. Please somebody must know how to do this. I understand that its because that part of Samsung software is proprietary and therefore any custom rom cant include it but surely i can do it for myself?
Can you push the APK's manually from ROMs that have them? Idk if it doesn't work, most of the time I hear people try to get rid of samsung rather than inject it, lol.

I figured that would be the way about it but what packages. who knows? ... and yes I feel a deep sense of irony in the fact that im actually seeking out Samsung foulness
indeed I think the only reason im interested is because I can't have it
I don't know. Make a nandroid, wipe rom, install rom with Samsung apps, use tb, find all Samsung apps, back up those, wipe system, restore nandroid, and restore tb.
Otherwise just find a rom that has it, download, change it to a zip extension, extract Samsung files, push apk
wow. it was litterally as simple as googling samsungservice.apk
I used one from 4shared as I have a 4shared account. the app updated on first launch and works as expected.

That's excellent. Nice work! Did it ad all the Samsung apps, and sync for snote? I know I actually added aosp mail to satisfy my then needed, mail sync settings thru exchange. My company now went to Google apps, and I moved up to the note3 which vzw didn't disable snote sync. Which is a surprise!

[Resolved] Upgraded to I300XXUGMJ9, Multi-Window no longer working

Hello,
As the title suggests, I have upgraded to the new stock 4.3 ROM (Ireland) and it seems Multi-Window is no longer working.
I activated it from the settings, and I can see it as active from the notification panel, however pressing and holding the BACK button yields nothing.
The rom is STOCK and rooted, apart from the frozen applications (List below) that's about it.
Now I know this ROM is incomplete, however I can only see people talking about the lack of Light Effect (same thing for me) and the lag/ battery drain (Which I was able to improve and fix). I was wondering, does anyone else have the same problem as mine? And if not, does anyone know how to fix this?
Frozen apps list:
Backup 2.5.6 (Samsung's backup)
ChatON
Google Play Books
Google Play Magazines
Google Play Movies
Google Play Music
Music Hub
S Voice
Samsung Apps
Samsung Backup Provider 1.8
all Samsung SyncAdapters
Samsung Link
Samsung Push Service
User Manual.
Solution to the above was doing a wipe data/factory reset.

Google Apps Device Policy + S9+ = no 3rd party keyboard?

Hi all,
In the meanwhile since we don't have root for our S9+, I've decided to install Google Apps Device Policy to create my Work Profile.
So, everything's ok, except I cannot use SwiftKey Keyboard, just Samsung sh** Keyboard.
I've whitelisted the application on Google Admin website, I can install Swifkey on my Work Profile but I can't use.
Then I try to make the same on a OnePlus 5 and everything is working, including SwiftKey.
Here's some screenshots.
Any ideas? Could KNOX be the root cause (haha)?
Cheers!

I think if he does a reset it happens to him too.
I have a Samsung s7 and stuck with the Samsung keyboard now after installing the work profile and reset.
I want to trow this phone away now and never by a samsung again pff.
Hope it's solved soon if not I'm really change my phone to a non samsung phone.
What's the point of a work profile? I have SwiftKey running perfectly on the my S9+. I am interested in how to avoid breaking it. I use it constantly.
Can knox be setup on same device as google device policy? If so you could possibly setup a knox account and as the admin and add your phone. Then whitelist the keyboard. I thought I read where knox is free if you have less than 25 devices registered. Might be a long shot.
