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 Memo
S Suggest
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.

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?

After moving S Memo.apk to system/apps I did a reboot and the app was installed automatically. When I open app it functions normally but after a few seconds it freezes and then a pop up says 'Unfortunately SMemo has stopped working'. This happens every time Any Fix?

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?
I have S3 GT-i9300 / FoxHound v1.6 / Android v4.1.2 JellyBean

U have to put vending.apk in system/app using root explorer and then give the permissions using root explorer and reboot? It'll be installed after reboot?
Since a week or 4 i got my TP i'm using APEX launcher for now.
And thought i could remove the stock launcher.
i think APEX is good but i wanna go back to Stock.
But there doesn't seem to be a way to install the stock launcher.
i somehow totally forgot to back it up.
I downloaded the stock launcher from a site and tried moving it to the system/app Chmod it rebooted and stil it doesn't work.
Tried it wit adb also no success.
Can someone help me?
Did you try installing the .apk? As far as I know that should work....
if you have the default file manager that goes with the prime, go to the root directory (when in sdcard, tap on the folder with an arrow next to it.) Then press the options button (the button on the very top right corner of the screen) and uncheck hide system files. Then you can see a folder called system. Open it, then app. Then find Launcher2.apk and install it.

Have you tried moving the launcher apk to /system/app directory then fix permissions ? You don't have to have cwm recovery installed , just rom manager . Install rom manager then select fix permissions and reboot , worked for me when I installed apex as system app should also work for installing any other launcher or least I assume.

Thanx for the advice i tried it but it didn't fix my problem.
Maybe someone could upload the launcher2.apk and the .odex from the .15 ww version.
Maybe the one 1 downloaded isn't the right one.
Thanks in advanced.
If i do a factory reset will it put all apps including stock launcher back?
Thanx in advance.
I fixed it.
I was pretty desperate but i fixed it.
For everyone who is as stupid as i was:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518462
Download the file of above link.
Extract it >> go to system/app in the extracted folder
Copy Launcher2.apk and the Launcher2.odex
Paste them in the system/app/ of your prime.
Then use ROM manager to fix permissions. Like shreddintyres said.
Reboot and then it should work. It did for me.
Thanks everyone for the help.
Hi, can you please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?
You see, using Root Explorer, I was able to remove the browser.apk (by moving to sd card) from /system/app, then got a quickics.apk, renamed it as browser.apk, then placed it unto /system/app, then changed the permission accordingly...
When I rebooted the phone, Android Starting App occurs but when I tap it to open, it force closes on me...
What am I doing wrong? or for that matter, is what I did or intention possible?

yes.. I am on ICS custom rom.. i just happen to like the quick ics browser more than the browser included in the custom rom.. thus I did that...
when I just left the stock browser and installed quick, there was no problem.. the problem just occurred when I tried replacing the stock browser...
i know this is not really "life or death" for me but for some reason, it just bothers me to have an app in my app list that I do not use... hehehe
Buddy dont replace the browser.apk just delete it and put quickics.apk on system/app with proper permission. Restart your device.hope it will work

No just copy it, fix permissions in root explorer and reboot. But don't rename it to browser.apk. Reboot and normally it should work?!
Hmm okay that's strange, are you using the latest version? Maybe delete it again, download it from playstore, install it and make it to a system app using titanium backup (there should be an option on titanium backup if the app is installed). Look if that maybe solves the problem
You should not replace the stock android browser.apk as it is integrated into the system and removing it or replacing it will probably result in force closures and your system might become unstable.
Just add the quickics.apk reboot into clockworkmod and select advanced and select fix permissions. No need to change permissions via root explorer if you have clockworkmod.
And Press thanks if I've helped you!

If it works as a non system app in your phone then it should work perfectly normal as a system app provided the permissions are set right and the stock browser isn't removed . I don't know where you are going wrong
Just to be correct about the permission part, The permission has to be set as ,

GoogleGallery.apkm is a system app..system apps are not meant to be installed..they are not signed so cannot be installed in the normal way..to use a system app you will need root...after you are rooted move the apk to /system/app forder and give rw-r--r-- permission and reboot..

If nothing else works try the dreaded Odin route

Don't need to odin. Just simply download the apk, copy it from your SD card and paste it in your system/app folder. Once pasted, change permission to -rw -r -r. Now you'll see it in your app drawer.

You're not trying to install it automatically. You're installing it manually by playing it into your app folder and changing permissions. Read my post and follow it and you will be golden, the concept is the same for all android devices
