[Q] SGS2 Replace preinstalled apps in Custom ROM - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Please can u tell me if there is a solution to change/modify to your needs a custom Rom you're about to install on your rooted galaxy s2 ( 9100 ).
For example: I want to install CyanogenMod 10 Nightly build... , it's installed, next i install GAPPS (google apps).
Ok, after reboot everything is ok and working.
Now what i want to do is to replace a default CM(cyanogenmod) apps (SMS, Contact manager/Call manager) by those which were included in JB 4.1.2 (leaked version).
Is there any way to achieve it ?
Thanks in advance for any info and suggestions.

Nope, i watched Chameleon ROM Hybrid on youtube but you can see that he is using old sms app (green with smiley), instead of what i'am searching for (Messaging with orange/yellow envelope).
But what i mentioned is that he have TouchWiz launcher (Desktop), where u can create folders etc.. How can i port it to fresh installed CM10 ROM?
Any suggestions? thanks

Nope, not without you telling us what rom you where on, and what rom you flashed.
Also if its a custom rom its more than likely the thread you got it on lists what had been removed and how to put it back.

At first, I changed to yakka rom v4 then I found that the samsung apps is missing..
Then I changed back to the initial rom which is criskelo rom v34
and the samsung apps is still missing until I restore back stock rom,
then I found my samsung apps.. But it disappear again when I changed to yakka rom..
That's the story.. And I can't find the solution for the problem..
This will probably be because the new ROM has had the taken out by the Dev thats why you cant see them.You can download them from here clicking on the blue link next to each app you want.

The real solution would be for you to have read the rom builders description of each rom .
Most devs remove Samsung Apps as a waste of space to build a lighter rom .

If you check in the threads, where will most likely be flashable zips with the removed apps to put them back. (I found one in the Criskelo thread for example)
As far as the apps on the spreadsheet, they might work but I dont know which rom they are from, and what version they are, best idea is to get them from the rom thread.
Or use a different rom that doesn't remove anything.

Sure, but the devs mostly want to build fast and light ROMs and as you see you still have options to get the Samsung Apps; propably you find the same info in all of the ROM threads

ICE CREAM SANDWICH GUIDE AND NEW FEATURES OF SAMSUNG OFFICIAL ICS AND ROM QUESTIONS
Hey guys. With the new Ics roms there are brand new ways to do things that are very different from gingerbread.
How do I take a screenshot in ICS?
This is one new feature of ICS. Hold down the power button and volume down button.
Can I still slide my finger across the status bar to change brightness?
Yes.
Where is usb debugging and unknown sources?
The usb debugging is now in developer options in the settings menu. Unknown sources lies in security options in the settings menu.
How do I activate face unlock?
Go to settings then security and select screen lock. There you will find face unlock along with 4 other options.
How come when I hold the home button I get this menu instead of the last 6 apps I use?
Google made a better way to multi task in Ics so now everything you used is shown. You can swipe right or left to kill an app.
How do I copy and paste?
Hold down on the screen and move the arrows to what you want to copy and press the piece of paper at the top right of the screen.
How do I activate mass storage, all that shows up when I plug in the computer is mtp?
Once again this is a new feature of ics. To get mass storage go to settings then click more then usb utilities and click usb storage.
How come when I click on phone I no longer see the contact tab in the menu. I only see phone, log, and favorites???
This was done by Google to help stay organized and provide a clean experience to users.
How come with all ICS roms my facebook photos don't sync and how can I fix them?
Well you got me there. For some reason the photos don't sync natively on ICS. I think its a way by google to boost users of google plus. This is easily fixable by using an app called sync my pics or by using friendcaster from the play store?
Is overclocking possible with this kernel?

Do you have clock work recovery? If so. Wipe data then wipe cache. Then wipe dalvick cache under advanced and flash the rom.
(it sounds like you have 3e recovery. If your not rooted and running a custom kernel it won't work.)

Rom manager is not CWM recovery. Rom manager is an app for lazy people, and has been known to cause issues.

You need the actual cwm from a kernel. Rom manager will mess you up.

[Q&A] _miui.polimorph_

_miui.polimorph_
i9300 international
Jelly Bean 4.1.2 based MIUI
When I ported the first version of MIUI, Jelly Bean based, named _miui.polimorph_ I was guided by 3 key words:
1. stable;
2. practical;
3. sharing.
Because I belive the feedback is a very good fuel for progress this thread is dedicated for you. And since the awsome XDA forums provide us this thread as "meeting point" please feel free to ask or share here all your questions, opinions, and ideas about _miui.polimorph_ and how a MIUI rom can be the best, based on your demands. My goal for now is to obtain an eclectic operational system that includes the most complete variety of positive features a ROM can include. I'm sure that if we all share as a team we will eventually have the best MIUI ROM for Samsung Galaxy S III. There can be also users who installed _miui.polimorph_ and can't post under development section even if they want to say something. This is the right place to share.
So to be specific and well understood please specify the versions of your ROM:
1. the incremental (version of MIUI, i.e. 2.9.7) and
2. the version of _pph_ edition (i.e. v1);
->the file you have installed would be MIUI_JB_i9300_2.9.7_v1_pph.zip;
3. logcat or screenshot (how to in the dev thread post#2 - debugging)
Do you think this thread can be useful for you? Vote "Newsworthy" and when you feel like remember to hit the "Thanks" button!

Can I install additional language to this rom? Cause it only supports english and chines.
Hi
Just want to say thank you for the time you put into this great rom!
I've have a great respect for devs like you who mangage to get time to keep developing ROMs.
PS: Had to post this here and not in your development tread because I haven't 10 posts yet.
Thanks for the ROM, its great. But is there anyway to turn off the CRT animation. I tried turning off all animations, which worked in v10.26.2, but doesn't work now. Sorry to post here but I am also under 10 post. Thanks.

Good question. The simplest answer is "yes". De-compile framework-res.apk using "apktool 1.5.0" and latest "aapt" and find file "framework-res.apk\res\values\bools.xml". Open it with Notepad++ and edit the line "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>" to "true".

Yes it is. For the next operation I recomend to use 7-zip archiver. You need to have the two zips: your _miui.polimorph_ 2.10.26 zip version and the build you want to use for example 2.11.9. Open each one of them (do not extract, just open) and navigate to /system/app and just drag and drop the file Camera.apk and MiuiGallery.apk from 2.10.26 zip to your preffered _miui.polimorph_ version. Also it's better if you delete other camera apps such as GoogleGallery.apk from the same folder you just pasted the apks (_miui.polimorph_2.11.9.zip/system/app).
Thanks for the help. Worked perfectly.

Hey polimorph, do you know how to lower the value of default minimum brightness?

Edit the first line of the array "<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">". You can find it in the file arrays.xml @ /res/values by de-compiling /system/framework/framework-res.apk. I set it to 10 (between 0 and 6 lux) in my roms which I belive it's the lowest. Can it go lower?
EDIT: there's also a neat app to configure auto-brightness levels using a graph on Play Store called Velis Auto Brightness. You might want to try it first.
OK thanks. Will tinker around with it and see what I can do

Can I flash miui JB over Miui ICS?

Thanks.

Hi _polimorph_,
To be honest, this is second rom that i tried other than another rom that close to stockrom. And its my first AOSP rom. I would say if its working well I stick to your rom but i have some problem.
1. AOSP keyboard keep FC after flashed (I have to use swiftkey, and the FC still appear)
2. I cant login into playstore (Need flash another zip?)
3. SMS Setting (I cant send/receive text, apparently is service center no. issue showing "00", but i cant change it to my carrier no. It just show FC)
Overall, I like the rom so much, especially, the customization, the themes, and of course the camera itself which the best afterall.
I am running latest miui with siyah kernel in page.

Is there a way I could remove carrier label from status bar manually? I understand the settings in control panel isn't working. Thanks!

1. I'm using "Keyboard" (MiuiKeyboard) that's also coming embeded in the rom.
2. Flash gapps 20121011.
3. Don't know what's that about, but I have the feeling that's a bad rom flash. Flash your rom again using flashing instructions from the main thread.
I'm using Omega v36, baseband XXELLA, can I flash this rom?

actually this is the main reason for the existence of roms!
most of the sammy based roms come with touch wiz but it is safe to remove once you installed another launcher (this is absolutely necessary(!)) but it does not use any resources when deactivated so this should be enough.
if you want to have a concrete recommendation I would definitely name the great NeatRom! You have the option to flash it and leave every checkbox in aroma unticked. I guarantee you, this will be absolutely slim and debloated! Have fun
Cheers
Without Touchwiz ?! Touchwiz can't be deleted so any ROM you flash to your phone is either based on an edited version of Touchwiz, or based on AOSP (Stock Android).
If you don't want bloatware or the Touchwiz UI go for Cyanogenmod, otherwise there're plenty of ROMS based on Touchwiz except without all of the bloatware and useless crap.
