The title pretty much explains my question. I would like to port apps from the Sony-ified stock ICS to Cm10. Any ideas?
Try placing the ICS apps in the /system/apps folder and then install it and reboot!

No sorry, when I reboot they don't appear anywhere. I wouldn't open a thread if it was that simple. Oh and btw, a flaw with your advice, I'd have to also set the permissions to rw--r--.
Firstly you have to be sure that the Sony apps don't utilise any proprietary Sony framework to run. Usually manufacturer apps only run on stock ROMs with proprietary framework like Samsung Touchwiz and HTC Sense. If you're sure they don't, then after copying them to /system/app and setting the right permissions, reboot into recovery and wipe cache+dalvik. Then reboot and see if they show up.

HI everyone, this is my first post here so if i ask any noobest questions, please forgive me.
Here is the issue, I downloaded the S3 apk pack from HERE and wanna install some apps to my Nexus S.
Tried a few methods including copy&paste by using Root Explorer, using adb to push the "AnalogClockSimple.apk", "AnalogClockSimple.odex" and "PhotoWall.apk" and "PhotoWall.odex" in to /system/app and permision set to rw-r-r, then reboot.
Whatever i did, it just never show up at my widget drawer..
Anybody can help?
Days gone and still stuck up
Thanks everyone
Try adb pushing or installing them to data/app and see if they work!

Isn't data/app for installed .apk?
How about the .odex file?
I'm actually not to sure. But you should try it anyway just to be sure.

If the apps are simply taken from Samsung rom they will not work in any way. They need to be ported if I'm right
My own phone's Samsung apps had to be ported to work on cm7 and cm9
Hope this will help
Don't waste time pasting all apks and odexes and find them not work
Correct me if I am wrong

Now i may either get CM9 for my nexus s or get a Samsung device
Thanks for everything guys~
Hey all,
I'm really interested in installing Deeco7's play store mod. The device is rooted and WT's custom ROM is installed. The problem is that I'm unable to install the modified version of the play store. He explains in his 'How to' that you need to backup and replace the Vending.apk file in the /system/app folder. Weirdly enough, there is no vending.apk to backup or replace...
Can anyone help me installing his mod? Or does someone know if it's - may be a better question - possible on our device?
Here is the link to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650116

Extracted from JJ's hybrid.
Copy into /system/app with file manager (I use ES), reboot.
It will appear in app drawer.
Or do you want some older one, from gingerbread?
That worked great, thanks guys:thumbup:

Remember if you push any apps/mods manually with root explorer to the system folders to set the right permissions.
You could end up with alot of errors otherwise.

Why we could get alot of errors when changing the file in the system when we're doing it right?
If theres an error then either we fix it or do a restoration. thats why always do BACKUP.
Hi, guys !
Yesterday I updated my razr Hd to jelly bean by OTA. Everything gone fine, but this morning, when I tried to use SMS, I saw that the stock app were gone!
I tried to reinstall it by the native apk (my phone is rooted) but it doesn't install saying that it was not possible.
Then I installed the Go SMS Pro app to see what would hapen: it worked like a charm! All my old SMS were there and was fully operating.
I tried once more to install the stock apk, but had the same error...
Anyone knows what may be happening? What can I do?
This go SMS pro is very heavy, I don't like and want my stock app back!

Have you made a backup before flashing?
Sent from my MIUI powered Optimus L5.
Try flashing Cm10.1 MMS apk
Try flashing the Cm10.1 MMS Apk. Just search it in the forums. Download the zip. Reboot into recovery. And install zip from sd. Its very similar to the stock messaging but with a couple extra features. If that doesn't work and you really, really need to have your stock MMS back, do a titanium backup of all apps and data then factory reset. Or just flash a custom ROM.
