OK I honestly can't figure these out can someone please help me out with a flash able zip that I can put an app into (titanium backup) and two files that would replace ones in /system/media/audio/ui. I have been trying to use random flashables emptying them and putting my files in but it never works so I'd love to just have someone give me one I can simply drop my files into.

Could I create a .zip file including apps so I could flash it after I flash a rom just like we do with Gapps packages?
take an existing zip file and remove the apps you dont want in it and add the apps that you want to the zip file and save it. then you can flash this new zip file. Otherwise you would have to create a new zip file from scratch.
Its not hard to do actually. Just go on irc and someone will help you. Im just lazy and steal other peoples scripts but I actually know what the commands do.

Awesome. Thank you both very much! I really appreciate that.
Edit: I just thought of another idea with this. Couldn't I use astro and copy and paste the apps I want into the roms I flash so they're always there? Or is that different and I should I go to irc and ask how?
***Sorry i meant GTALK not gmail. sorry for the confusion**
anyone have the newest gtalk with Video chat apk?
wanna get it on my buddy phone. And please only apk and not flash file cause he is not rooted.
Thanks fellas
Nothing Really?
Bump.
Just download any room with it in it. Open the room zip and copy the gtalk file, it will be in /system/app you won't be able to install it if he isn't rooted I don't believe. You can give it a shot though.

i have been doing some research and it doesn't look like there's a way to do it without root.
That's why i brought it over to xda, there has to be a way!

How did you get that to write to /system on an unrooted device? Just curious maybe I can learn something, knowing how linda file manager writes to a locked partition would be very helpful.

There is a thread somewhere on xda with the gtalk apk and its associated .so library file. In the morning when I'm on a computer I'll link you too it or upload them.

Thanks guys the other poster said he could do this without root. The OP stated he wanted an apk because he was trying to install on a non rooted device. These methods all require root, I was just curious how somebody was writing to system without root.

You can't use the new gtalk without root because you need its associated files and those files have to be placed in system folders and the only way to read/write system folders is with root. The apk alone won't work. Especially because it needs to placed in /system/app, not /data/app

damn thats a bummer
Is it possible to rename the backups of
Twrp? I tried to rename the back up useing astro folder but it kept giving me errors.
Thanks for any solutions in advance

I was able to rename them and I restored a renamed one just to make sure it would work. I'm happy to report it did. I tried not to change it too much just in case. I believe the original backup was named something like 080720111954 (date and time). I simply deleted the time and year so it looked like:
0807snlessocgpu (for my senseless rom, with oc kernel, and chainfired 3D).
Don't know if you tried to alter the name too much. I used Astro to do it. Long press file, hit edit, then rename.
Good luck!
You can rename your backups, just don't have any spaces in the names.
Hm ill give it a try, im useing the free version btw but ill check.

Hi, I am hoping that someone could provide me with the i777 stock camera.apk, camerafirmware.apk as well as the odex files. I was messing around with my friends phone and ended up deleting these. I've tried the files from other roms but could not find the odex files. He prefers to keep his phone the way it is (stock rooted) and not have a custom rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Please PM me if you can help.
I'm not familiar with how Samsung ships its roms, but have you tried finding the official ROM and extracting it to get the files you need?
Last resort, you could back up, then factory reset your friend's phone to get it back to how it was.
Also a little tip, in the future, when messing with system files, rather then deleting them, just rename them and add .bak as an extension, then if what you tried to do didn't work, simply rename and remove the .Bak and your original file is restored.

It just said 'hosts' a few times, the file name of a ringtone I transfered to the root of storage a while back, and some other files I'd transfered there. I deleted it's content thinking it wouldn't do anything and that I was cleaning up because it was a short file that didn't seem to be anything other than a list of files I'd transfered.
Oh, and in doing that I made it so my phone won't boot. Just recovery and fastboot and stuff.
Any ideas on what this is and what it contains so I can fix it?
Thanks!

OK, so for anyone who may need to know: I believe it is put there by SuperSU Pro when you enable Root Survival. That's just an educated guess, but don't modify it or delete it
