Flashable KitKat Apps - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps

Included in this zip are the APKs and needed libs for all of the currently working KitKat Apps. I have only tested this on the Google Experience ROM, but should work for any AOSP based ROM. YMMV with touchwiz, but feel free to make a backup and give it a shot.
-CalendarGoogle.apk
-Chrome.apk
-DeskClockGoogle.apk
-EmailGoogle.apk
-Exchange2Google.apk
-GalleryGoogle.apk
-Gmail2.apk
-GoogleCamera.apk
-GoogleHome.apk
-Hangouts.apk
-Keep.apk
-LatinImeGoogle.apk
-Maps.apk
-PrebuiltGmsCore.apk
-Street.apk
-Velvet.apk
For Email and Clock, you may need to clear their data after flashing this.
As usual, I am not responsible for anything this may do to your device. Make a backup.

Damn. I was just going to post this. Beat me by 41 minutes.

lol. I didn't even know it was a race. I like winning though.

Actually, I was pretty shocked that it wasn't already here.

No, not a race. Or is it...? lol
I like the launcher. Haven't played with much else yet.
Edit:
I was surprised as well. That's why I threw a zip together.

I'm using all of them. Can't really tell much of a difference with most. Very subtle changes. Pull to refresh in email, and its more like the gmail app in design. Clock has a better way of sewtting the alarm and the font looks cleaner. Google now is improved. Thats about it as far as I can tell.
I do like the launcher though.

Edit: double post

Is GoogleGallery working 100%, last time I check it was FC when trying to edit a picture, also is there any real difference in the Camera?
Thanks.

Gallery will still FC trying to edit, and the camera icon is different, but thats all I can tell. I dont use the camera much. Photosphere is kinda cool, but I think thats in the old camera as well.

Hows the battery drain with the new launcher? I'm assuming with google now always running (or is it not?) it can be a drainer.

Hasn't been any worse for me. Technically, its always running all the time anyway even in the old system.

Not too impressed with the launcher, using some of the apk's though

The link is not working. Thank you anyway.

Is it possible to install the apks individually?

You can extract them and install almost all of them one by one. I think maps and clock are the only ones that wont over right whats currently there. I had to delete them before I could get them to install properly without just pushing the APK over the current version with ADB.

Also, Some apps wont work properly without the libs. You'll need to be rooted to push the libs to /system/lib/

Are all camera functions working?
Anyone know if the camera app is 100% working? Photosphere, etc? I tried another 4.4 camera apk, but it FC all the time.

That's because you didn't have the lib files. Its working perfectly for me.

I've been running these for about a few days, but my Hangouts kept force closing. Seemed to happen more when I received MMS, but wasn't everytime. Anyone else experience this?

Stock Google Apps Updated (Market, Gallery, Desk Clock and More)

I know this is posted in other sections but i thought i would let my fellow MT4G users in on this
google has released a updated version of their camera app, gallery app, music app and more to galaxy s phone users
these have been extracted and posted here
http://www.androidnews.de/download/test-market-leaked-apps.zip
Unfortunatly, the only apps i have gotten to work are the camera, music, and market (though i see no difference in the market, and i found the camera less featured that the one i already had...if you want to try the camera, it can be installed along side the current one)
I am running RoyalMIUIr3, so those were compatible with this rom, other roms may differ
WARNING: I am having issues installing downloaded apps using the new vending.apk. backup your current one before installing the new version.
I wonder which one of these would work on CM... Gonna try.

[APP] MIUI Camera on CM7

The attached camera app, MIUIcamera-signed.apk will let you see the MIUI Camera on CM7.
Installation is simple, just install end enjoy!
Thanks to csdj92 for figuring out that I had to use the signed version and thanks to kaos217 for posting the signed apk (attached) (originally posted here)
If you're like me and hate having multiple "default" camera apps, using an app such as Root Explorer or Astro File Manager you can go to system/app/ and rename Camera.apk to something else, or delete it all together
Cheers!
Okay, so before anyone on here insults me for asking this, I've tried searching it out and I've found that other people have been able to do this (specifically, on the Evo) but I haven't been able to get it going.
Since MIUI & CM7 are both AOSP build, shouldnt I be able to remove CM7's camera and replace it with MIUI's? I don't like CM7's camera implementation, but I LOVE MiUI's camera.
From what I gathered in this thread, I had to backup the stock camera app, delete it. Rename the MIUI Camera to camera.apk, place it in the system/app/ folder. Then I had to long press on the camera, set permissions to 644 (read) and reboot.
I reboot but I get an error saying Com.Miui.Camera has force closed. Any help?
Attached is the MIUI Camera APK
Try downloading the signed apk on the second page from the OG post. I tried with the one on your post got the error, then tried with the signed apk and it worked fine.

I tried the signed APK and it doesnt work either.
Scratch that, when I tried restoring with Root Manager it or pushing it via ADB, it didn't work, but when I installed it like a regular package, it worked just fine. Disabling the CM7 camera now
Thanks

Awesome awesome awesome. I dig it. Probably my least favorite thing about CM7 was the fugly AOSP camera. Thank you!

I think there is a newer version of MIUI camera available... I'm gonna try to sign the new version and release it.
Thanks man, been looking for a better camera since I left all sense behind.

I never said that AOSP's camera was good either. I like MIUI's camera.
What a real shame about the camera, and also the shocking battery life off 7.2!
i am going back to 2.3.6. I had a better time with that.

Removing something like Sense which is pretty much built into the rom OS can affect things like this. Not saying this is the cause, but if you haven't done anything else to the rom, it's likely the problem.

no thats not true at all... sense isnt the OS its the launcher...i and i used the Rom Cleaner txt file it lets you know what you can and cannot remove...and the widget still works but it wont let me go in the actual app.
I noticed this the other day. My widget didn't work and the app force closed. I restored a backup, I'll host the apk and link it here

You're talking about Google Play Music right? For any FC my first fix is wiping data for that app. Removing Sense has nothing to do with that app. If you're talking about the default HTC sense music player, the only thing that would be affected when removing Sense is you'll have no widget.
Yes Google Music and I did that and the normal Music works fine but widget like you said...I really need my Google Music

Strange. Usually any app FC I get it cured by a data wipe of that app. My only other suggestion would be wipe data and uninstall Play Music, fresh install your ROM and setup how you want it and then install Play Music. I know that's kind of a long process, but I see your doing some ROM development so your probably used to it now.
Yeah I mean I been doing that actually full wipes and testing everything and this is the only problem I can't fix.
Also the updated YouTube app does the same thing instant FC.

Sense camera app APK?

Sorry if this is a stupid question - did some searching and wasn't able to come up with a concrete answer.
Wondering if there's any work happening to extract the Sense camera app to be able to insert it as an apk into an AOSP/AOKP ROM. Is this even possible/plausible? I know there are ROMs out there that have selectively added/removed certain Sense things, but not sure if it's possible to put that on top of a stock ROM.
If not, are there any apps that replicate some of the functionality (esp. burst shot) that the Sense has in their app?
thanks in advance!

No, its not possible.
The camera code is proprietary

Yet for some reason, people perpetuate the lie that it's coming to CM10 soon, haha. I don't get it.
Anyway, I hear there is an app that does the burst shot thing. Personally, I only ever used it to show it off. Never used it in "real" situations.

You can try an app from the market called "fast burst camera" there is free version and a paid version. I use it with cm10 and it works well

Thanks for the info everyone!

Possible issue between Instagram and JB Roms

I flashed JellyBeer and really liked it. I was going to post a pic on instagram. It let me crop it but once it got to the effects portion it was blank. Googled it and saw there was an issue with the app on December 12. So I flashed JellyBam and the same issue. Restored a nandriod of Blackstar ( TW Rom) and its working fine. Anyone have instagram and experience this?

i know this is an old thread but i am having this problem now. ive tried the latest cm10.1 build and the latest rootbox build and they both do the same thing, when you try to take a video on instagram it turns green and freezes then force closes the app and reboots the phone... how did you get it working? what do you mean by "hw thing"? aany help is greatly appreciated cuz this problem sucks.
I have the same problem with video recording on instagram..I was told by a dev that since our custom roms are not signed n official instagram can't detect the rom correctly meanin its not an official rom...if that makes sense..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T879 using xda app-developers app
yeah i see what your saying. i wonder of theres any way to fix this??... like is there a way to sign the rom? or make the app read it as being signed? im not a pro at this but im not a total noob either, but ive never delt with anything like this.
Thats not why. It doesn't work on stock either. They just need to fix the app.
it works fine on my stock tw gs3... and worked fine on the one that i flashed cm10.1 onto when it was still stock. pretty sure its an aftermarket jb rom issue. hopefully cm10.2 will fix the camera problems because from what i understand 4.3 is supposed to handle the camera / permissions and security differently. thats what im hoping at least because this seems to have everyone stumped :/
Yes, I checked the market reviews and now most 4.1 JB users are having success and a good time with the app. It still looks like the 4.2 camera is the problem.
ok i see what your saying now. so i wonder if i replaced the 4.2 system camera with a stock 4.1 camera if that would fix the problem?... we'll see when i try it.
Technically yes, but there could be several library files that needs to go with the camera.apk
its weird, some 4.2.2 ROM's it works fine (Right now I'm using PAC, no issues...I THINK I had it working on Carbon, too...)
Others, it'll load the feed, but when you try to upload a picture...App locks up (Like Slim I know I had this issue.)
Wonder if that will help any devs...
I'm currently using latest PAC build, along with latest UBER and Instagram works fine. I can load pictures and watch videos, as well as post pictures. I can record and post videos, but it looks like tv static. Doesn't bother me though since the main functions work excellent.
Can you really say "it works fine" unless all advertised features work correctly?
Good point, I didn't test the video feature...
So it works for the most part, then.

I suppose not? I stated why I thought it works fine for me. I don't post up videos, so I don't really use that function. I can view other people's videos though.
