[Q] Stock Gallery.APK & Browser.APK - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is that possible to get STOCK ANDROID Gallery.apk (From Google Nexus 10) to XTZ?
Is that possible to get Browser.apk and Gallery.apk from Xperia Tablet S?
Can anyone test if copying only .apk file to system dir would work?

If by stock browser, you mean the AOSP browser, I got it installed on my XTZ using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.aospinstaller
The app says my device was not supported but I installed anyways and it worked fine!
Dunno about the stock gallery though.

Ps. Im rooted and made fix for mounting system...

How to install AOSP ICS MMS.APK

Any ideas how to install the AOSP ICS MMS.APK?
I'm running the LPB leak so i've got the ugly TW MMS.apk. I've tried MMS.APK from a CM9 download but it didn't work. Is there a flashable CWM file available? Currently using Handcent.
Thanks
I've been looking into this myself, as I much prefer the ICS look to the horrible iPhone-alike TW MMS app.
There's a thread that provided the stock ICS app, but the files were on multiupload, so it's not downloadable at the moment. The OP there indicated that there was a problem running the MMS app anyway.
I have tried grabbing the MMS.apk from the latest CM9 release for the SGSII, and that exhibits the described problem; the thread list appears, but the app FCs when trying to open a message thread.

There's also an ICS MMS app on the market, but it has been modified to include ads, so I'm not interested in that one.
Some guys looked at removing the ads, but the thread was shut down (for obvious reasons).

How did you try to install.As an apk. or using root explorer to pass to system/app folder?
Just wanted to bump this thread. I love the AOSP MMS app, and it FC's on me on Samsung LPH firmware. I tried pasting it to system/app, and it fc's when I try to send a message. Hopefully someone can port this apk
I believe you have to replace another apk as well.
If you want a rom that already has it, try Spike's Pure ICS special edition. It has aosp mms, calendar and contacts.

Westcrip's Resurrection Remix 9.4 is really good too. I've been using ever since 9.2 and it's been perfect so far - no FCs or bootloops or any problems at all, really. And apps are AOSP. He also has black versions of AOSP SMS and Market among others, which I love.
+1 for the AOSP mms.apk. Also tried replacing mms.apk with AOSP from different roms but it doesn't work.
I'm using Spike's Pure ICS 6.1, too bad the special edition is only in English. If Spike (or someone else) could give us a working AOSP mms.apk that would be great!
Now who wants AOSP MMS.apk for their S II?!
Download the following zip file and flash it:
http://www.mediafire.com/?8dejky1cqzc14lv
Note:
1. Make sure you flash it only after you have already synced up your contacts with google (do not flash it immediately after flashing a new rom)
2. This zip will replace your SMS app, CONTACTS app, CALENDAR app and your CALCULATOR app to AOSP versions.
3. Be sure you take a nandroid backup before flashing.
4. You must be in a Samsung ICS ROM (XXLPQ only) for this zip to work.
5. I did not create this zip. The credit goes to Spike_M who made this zip that can be flashed to his ROM Pure ICS. Do try out his ROM.
ENJOY!!
Thanks RobinRichard, though unfortunately this didn't work for me on XXLPQ (root with CF-Root). Phone and messaging services die horribly after flashing that zip with CWM -- "phone has stopped" and "messaging has stopped" dialogs constantly pop up
Will have a play when I have a bit more time, but I have restored the Samsung apps for now.

I updated my post. Plz download the new zip and try it. It works well for me.
Im on lpq (litening rom 2.1) and it works perfectly for me too!
I used AOSP mms.apk from Spike's Pure ICS V7.0. It worked well. Btw, I used root explorer to copy the apk in/system/app
Hi,
How did you paste the apk into system/apps? mine says read only ?!?
And also did you just paste 1 file or did you copied a few? like the files in the framework?
Someone have dialer app? =) btw, i'll make a custom rom with dsixda kitchen, so, i put the files in /system/app, right? also for the files in framework folder? right? =)

You can use a program such as Root Explorer to remount it. If you don't have that, there are other ways to do this using adb.
Does anyone happen to have a working mms.apk thaybis the same as the one in cm9? I think the aosp one is horridly ugly as is the Sammy one, but love the one used in cm9. But because it has a long way to go yet I don't wanna run cm9 as an every day driver.

[Q] Replacing touchwiz calendar with google stock in ics LPQ

Hi guys,
is there a way to replace the touchwiz calendar app (widget included) with the original ics stuff? Samsung really did a mess in this respect, I definitely prefer the ics version, more flexible and business oriented.
I tried to intall the calendar.apk but the system folder is read only and I cant do it. Also, do I need to install something else or this file is enough?
I searched the threads but the latest news are a little bit old, 2010.
Anybody have the same wish? I am running now the latest LPQ ics for sgs2, rooted.
Get an app that is like Root Explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wiY29tLnNwZWVkc29mdHdhcmUucm9vdGV4cGxvcmVyIl0.
that is a paid app but there are free ones that do the same job.
Inside Root Explorer there is a toggle to mount the system as R/W or R/O just swap it over and you can move the apk to the /system folder.
ps.R/W means read/write and R/O means read/only. Should of said that before.

I want to port the AOKP messaging app to a stock based ROM. AOKP has MMS.apk and for stock based, we use Conversations.apk.
Can someone pls help me out?
MMS.apk has more features like the SMS popup which is in-built and also the ability to insert emojis. It is also much faster. Which is why I want this app.

S Memo for Samsung Galaxy S III

I used to have S Memo on my stock rom I got on my Galaxy S III but I flashed Cyanogemod 9 on it. I lost all my stock apps and I'm OK with that, cuase I got a working apk for S Voice, but I could not get S MEMO.
I tried downloading apks and the /system files (I just put them in the folder and rebooted my phone) but no results. When I instal the apks it says "Application Not Installed" . Can anyone please help me.
If you want to get the apps from a stock ROM, you have to deodex it first, because all stock ROMs are odexed.
That is a very simplistic statement I am making above, because there might be other dependencies that are not in the APK, but in the ROMs itself.
Search XDA for tools and instructions on how to deoxed a rom on your computer so you can get only the APKs you want.
S memo will require Samsung frameworks so will only work on stock based roms

[P]Alternative vanilla JB apps for XP

I know ppl used to install a JB camera on ICS for XP. Is that still possible on XP JB? Are there other stock apps that can replace XP JB apps soomthly? Such as contacts (For high res profile pictures), sms/mms app, launcher? Will they (if possible), replace stock apps, or will they be additional to? I don't want to corrupt functions on my phone for this.
Also, is there a list describing what the different apps are for, and if they can be deleted/disabled or not?
BUMP! no one? not even stock JB dialer/contacs w/high res pics?
Hey there. Some ICS apps don't work on JB but, for example, RizalLovins' Cyber-shot mod for ICS works on JB.
DavidMDK's "Jelly Bean Fixes" thread has the links to the JB small apps, calculator and other interesting goodies.
Yes, you have to replace the apks in /system/app
It'd be nice if someone would test and make a thread listing all the ICS mods that work on JB.

You are talking about ICS apps, i was looking for JB apps. Like stock JB apps, the ones preinstalled on Nexus/CM devices. I would hope they worked right out of the box, or only needed a minor fix...
You should download CM10 for any HDPI device and extract the apps that you want from system\app in the .zip archive. For more stock apps you should download gapps (Google apps): latest for 4.1.2 - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip - you can flash this zip but I recommend extracting only the APKs that you want.
That's what i wanted to hear But do you assume it works, or do you know? Can all apps be replaced, or just some of them? Would the android sdk sources fail, or could they be used as well?
