I've been trying to push some AOSP style apps to system/app but I keep getting force closes on them.
Examples include calculator.apk and mms.ask. Any idea why these apps won't work?

The S4 is a TouchWiz phone, not AOSP. The AOSP framework isn't there, so many AOSP apps won't work. That's probably true for most of them, actually.
What you're doing is kind of close to taking an iPad application and trying to flash it, then asking why it doesn't work.

Also, Samsung apps are in system/priv-app, not system/app. Some may work, some may not. Generally fixing permissions and ensuring file name matches should help.
I tried that too. Oh well. Guess I'll just settle with freezing stock apps and installing AOSP versions the regular way. Thanks for the help.

good luck...but like it was said, tw doesn't have ASOP framework as part of it
I've found a few apks that have been repackaged that I can simply install. Just trying to create the illusion of AOSP.

So if I want to add apps like the note2 gallery to my port do I just put it in the app file zip it up and sign it?

Hey skinzy98, real quick, just wanted to let you know that your work in the development sub-forum is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work! :thumbup:
Now to answer your question. If you're planning to inject an app into a ROM, then you can accomplish this by placing the .apk into the system/app directory inside your ROMNAME.zip, and that's it (assuming the ROM sets recursive permissions to the entire system/app directory). This would result in your injected app being installed as a system app. However, if you want it to be installed as a data app... Well, it's gonna' be a little more involved. For what you plan to do, installing it as a system app would probably be best anyhow. Good luck, and let me know if you need any help/have any questions. Always glad to help a bro out when I can.

You are going about it the right way, but beware some apps from different sources may in other files or framework.
Just fyi if you run into unexpected issues.
Good luck

Ok heres my issue I cannot seem to find a direct answer. I am running ICS Tmobile ROM (jedi 4)and everything seems to be kewl but for some reason I cannot get s pen to work. I was sent a copy of s memo but s pen has been nothing but a failure. I have tried flashing it, loading over the apk's and all sort of stuff and I cannot figure it out. The program would not load at all, any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-T879 using xda app-developers app
S Memo will not run on that ROM. It is not an ICS Touchwiz based ROM. Try third party apps.
I am sorry I provided the incorrect information. Jedi 4 is a touchwiz based ROM and the application that is in question is not smemo but snote s memo works correctly. The reason why I had chosen that specifically that ROM was for, please don't flame me, touchwiz yeah sure is kinda laggy and bloated but I like it. And in the end that is all that matters correct?

Did you install the driver files associated with S Note?
Clear app cache and app data?
Thank you for the response and yeah I did clear the cache and everything else with all the associated files but it doesn't seem to work .

Hi guys,
This just ocurred to me. I was reading that the korean jb has multiwindow and that its hardware is very similar to our notes. Both use a snapdragon S3 and the adreno 220. Can it be posible to port? I was just trying to port multiwindow into my own and I was able to make flashbar appear, get the toggle in settings. When you open the first app it opens like normal, now the second you see that it has the little box to divide the screen, but it opens the second app in full. But you'll see a bar in the middle that is the divider for multiwindow. I don't know something im missing or something. Will post pics later So you can see what im talking about.
I'm drooling with anticipation. ..I hope you figure it out!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
This is as far as I have. I have modified the following
SecSettings.apk to add the multiwindow option
android.policy.jar
services.jar (I saw multiwindow smali inside so I did not modify any of it)
Added:
FlashBarService.apk (Taken from the N7000)
multiwindow.jar
com.sec.android.app.multiwindow.xml
com.sec.feature.flashbar.xml
com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml
com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml
I dont know if I'm missing other things to get it fully working. Im just learning.

No. It's like I opened the app in full, but I see the divider.
Maybe the apps themselves are tide into the multi window app. Have you installed the browser from the Korean note and tried it like that?

I believe lildoggs may be somewhere in the general direction. I've been reading threads from the n7000 and note 2 threads about modding apps to be capable with multiwindow, if they aren't already supported. So if you can install the browser and maybe messenger app from the korean note, and they work that would be great. If not maybe try this tutorial from this thread to modify a few apps yourself and see if it works.
also check out this multi window manager app from the playstore if indeed you did get it working to maybe mod an app. I'm not dev, but just throwing out some things I think may be of some use to you.
I'm currently at work but will try them when I get home. Like I mentioned before from my research I see that we already have the smali files for multiwindow inside services.jar. Maybe we need the apps to be compatible.
Good luck man.

Some guys over on the Note2 have found that there is a module for exposed called all apps it looks like that allows any app to be used with the multi window.

Tried the xposed method but still gets me the same results. Eventhough the modules allow to use any app in multiwindow. I must be missing something in the jar that Im not seeing. Will look into it tonight. Thanks to everyone for you help btw. Any idea is welcome.

I don't know how to explain it, but I want the MMS apk like the one shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/deviceForum/screenshots/1055/20130327T094824.jpg
Is the one you gave me the same one, but appears different on my phone because I'm running CM?
Ah....I don't think the stock mms apk will work on CM as the apk needs the touchwiz framework in order to function.....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
not sure what touchwiz is, but I'm guessing there is no workaround or way to get the stock mms apk to install on CM roms?
Thanks for your help Keith. Appreciate it!
Touchwiz is the Samsung launcher. It is what gives Samsung phones their look and feel....the user framework of the device. Porting parts of that framework to non Samsung ROMs simply will not work.......
As an alternative, you could look for apps in the themes and apps section for an app which has been made to look like 'stock' but which functions on a non stock ROM......
Or....
You could go for a whole new ROM..... one of the 'hybrid' ones.....a stock based ROM but without the bloat and with aosp/aokp functionality. I've used two and am still using one of them....chamelion and aliance.....I'm not going to recommend either as that's against XDA rules, but both of them will let you download themes and tweaks that let you customize the look of the base ROM so that it can resemble (or not) the full stock package........

Hey,
Well I have been more active on here lately and I am starting to want to contribute to the community
I have the S5 system and I wanted tot try (practice) porting the apps from that to the Note 2. I do know someone has done a few but I would like to give it a shot myself.

A lot of them require 4.4.2... But the basic concept behind porting apps is taking the apk you want..finding if it needs library files and maybe even some bin files as well..and then putting them in your system folder..if it FC's pull a log and see what else is needed

System/app.. You would have to delete your music apk or rename it .bak.. Not sure if they updated the libraries on that app but its possible.. Also changing the SDK version in the mainifest might solve some problems too
