[Q] Porting Samsung APKs to non-Samsung Smartphones - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey!
I own a Motorola XT316 and I love Samsung design. By this, I was trying to port Samsung's APKs to my phone, like Social Hub and SMS. But how I can do it?
APKs/Functions Needed:
Email
SocialHub
Framework-res
SystemUI
QuickPanel
Keyboard
SMS
And such other things...
How I can proceed?
Thanks!

You can't. These are dependent on Samsung frameworks. Without them the apps won't work and the frameworks don't work on non Samsung devices. Same goes for HTC apps

Original System Gallery?

I am using HTC One X actually.
Is there any possible solution to extract original gallery apps in Galaxy S III and install in One X?
I really love that face recognition function.
Please help:fingers-crossed:
what?

sorry I mean the system gallery in Galaxy SIII
While I'm not certain, I imagine the face recognition is tied into the TW framework, since it integrates with contacts etc.

Likely not... Most of Samsung's apps are very tightly wound into the TouchWiz framework. I doubt we'll be seeing any of them ported to any devices...

[Q] Cyanogenmod and Samsung Apps

Hello,
I do have a Samsung Galaxy SII with the newest cyanogen mod update. Well, the fact is, I love the Samsung Calendar app (its overview, features and so on) much more than the included google calendar.
Is it possible to get the Samsung Calendar app on my cyanogenmod phone?
Thanks in advance,
Kifog

[Q] Stock Android on my Samsung Tablet?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE Edition, and I was wondering if I can install stock Android on it without loosing S-pen Driver support. Also I'm not getting the KitKat Update because I'm currently living in Greece, even though I'm using the GUI in English, so that kinda annoys me. Anyway, I hope there's a solution.:good:

Cyanogenmod is about as close as you are going to get to stock Android for it. S Pen works, but you won't have any built-in S-Note or handwriting keyboard type stuff. You will need 3rd party app replacements. As far as the update, it's pretty common for them not to get auto-updates if you are in a different region and they haven't pushed out the OTA there. It's best to update via the computer anyway as it creates less issues generally.

On cyanogen mods website they state only the original Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, not 2014 edition are supported. Also, can't I use the Samsung S-pen apps if I port them over to CM? And lastly - how can I update via the computer. THx

No. They're usually tied to the TouchWiz framework and it's hard to nearly impossible to get many Samsung apps working properly on non TouchWiz roms.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ Search for P605 and download the one you want for the region the tablet is original from or if you have a rom picked out and they suggest a different base to have installed first, use that one. Instructions will be the same either way. You can follow the guide here:
http://www.howtoroot.mobi/2014/06/flash-p605xxucne2-android-442-kit-kat.html
Or any of the other 1000s of guides for how to update via Odin on here, any other Android phone/tablet forum, YouTube, etc.

[Q] Can I flash a Samsung ROM to a non Samsung phone?

I have a spare Moto X Style which is not my daily driver. I also have a Samsung Gear VR but alas it is only compatible with recent Samsung phones. Can I flash a Samsung ROM (eg Note 5, S6 or S7) to my Moto X Style so it will be recognised my Gear VR and I can run the Gear VR apps? I don't want to have to buy a Samsung compatible phone.
I have tried installing the Occulus and Gear VR system files to some degree of success but I still cannot get any apps to install as I can't get Gear VR services to run as am missing the Samsung CSC feature files. So I think it would be easier to just clone the whole Samsung ROM to my Moto. Is this doable?
Any advice please?

Simple answer is no. Long answer is each rom is built for that device. Drivers, libs, partitions, os, etc are all device dependent.
