Hi!
I was happy to see this tips on AOSP browser today on xda--> http://www.xda-developers.com/android/bring-back-the-aosp-browser-on-kitkat-2/
I converted the apk to a system app and ODEX it.
So this is for you guys that use a 4.4.2 ODEX firmware (rooted)
Download - unzip - copy/paste the android.browser.apk and android.browser.odex to system/app -set perm and reboot.
(remember to delete old stock browser first)

I used to be able to add/remove .apks by using ES file explorer, I managed to add a widget by copying and pasting into /system/app
but when I tried to copy and paste LivewallpaperPicker.apk and VideoPlayer.apk it successfully copies but didn't seems like it's installed.
Any ideas?
I did search and came across this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875797
but that seems very different to the popular copy and paste method.
thanks.

Did you reboot after you pasted the apk's into system/app?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
No but when I was on Cognition rom I didn't have to reboot.
I moved on to Leomar's rom anyways.
Cognition > Leomar > VillainRom
You aren't trying to copy an apk from stock to a custom rom, or from a custom rom to another custom rom, are you? Since the signatures are different, it won't work.
Nope, I downloaded both Villainrom 2.3.0 signed.zip and VillainRom 2.3 Lite signed.zip and installed the lite version.
After that I extracted 2.3.0 zip and tried to copy and paste into the Lite rom - Maybe that's where i went wrong? I was guessing since villain signed them both they should be fine.
Modded, to be launching Gallery3D.apk (gallery from CM7 (com.cooliris.media)), if you click on thumbnail in camera or camcorder.
http://www.mediafire.com/?enn5hylt7xjulf3
Just download CM7, extract Gallery3D.apk, download this BlurCamera.apk, copy both with Root explorer into /system/app, set permissions and reboot. Then you can delete the stock BlurGallery.apk, if you are not registered to MotoBlur.
You can try, if it works on 2.3.4 too, or skiny, or whatever, but backup the stock BlurCamera.apk.
What should the permissions be set to? Thanks
As any other app in /system/app rw-r--r--
Am i able to flash the google now file from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
With the stock recovery tool and without root rights?
Sry, i know this is a noob question, but i realy tried to find it out my self. :angel:
As nobody else has responded to this I thought I'd try to help. It says in the post you linked to that it requires an AOSP based ROM which we don't have for the Tablet S.
I've got Google Now on my tab using the apk but you won't be able to do it without root.
you can not flash other rom before someone crack the recory mode
for the google now,it is only a apk,so you can copy it by root explorer
------------------------------
These are the current instructions and download:
1.) Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2.) Rename the "signed_velvet-voicereco.apk" that you downloaded (link below) to: "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
3.) Place the renamed .apk in the system/app folder and set the permissions to rw-r-r
4.) Reboot and enjoy!
OR
1.) Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2.) Try to install the downloaded .apk off your sd just like any other .apk
post back if you successd.
I rooted with the stripped down ROM. But i need the stock email app in order to sync my Exchange contacts Where can i get just this apk? Thanks !!
Right. Download my ROM for example and extract Email.apk from zip file. Then copy it using RootExplorer or adb into /system/app on your phone. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot.

Excuse my ignorance, but i can't seem to extract from any of the ROM's ive downloaded (can't find the link to yours if i click the ics one in your signature it just takes me to a long thread with no obvious links). I know how to use adb to get the file onto the phone, but cant figure out how to get it out of the .tar.ext4 file ?
download blazer rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746184
then use 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open the zip.
navigate to system/app and find email.apk
extract it from there (drag and drop it out of the 7zip window to your desktop)
then copy that to your phone ... either use adb to push it to system/app or use root explorer on your phone.
hope that helps
Hi, I realize that your rom says that it's just for Sprint, if I were to download it and take the contacts.apk from it, would that not work on my AT&T galaxy SIII?
I accidentally disabled it and am currently trying to find a way to get it back onto my phone. :'( *I already looked at my settings>applications>all and it's not there. [contact storage is there, but I can't find the application that I use to actually read that, after the disabling.//I raged on it for continually popping up on my advanced task manager.]

I rooted (using this method: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sch-i535-root-101633/) and ended up using the non-bloatware version and apparently the regular email app was considered bloatware for some reason because it disappeared.
So I tried following your instructions, but there was no "email.apk" in the download, so I figured you probably meant "exchange.apk." Followed the instructions, moved it to system\app, changed the permissions, and rebooted but it's still not showing. So I went back to try to install it manually, and it just tells me it wasn't installed successfully (and yes, I have "unknown sources" selected).
I am also not sure if this is the stock GSIII email app, based on the icon. Looks like the old yellow email icon to me.

i flashed the zip file in twrp and now i don't have a gallery at all. i can't get to my pictures anymore. is there a way to get it back. i really don't want to have to load my backup and set everything up again. thanks for any help
-Daniel
Umh, it's strange.
My gallery is very clean with this mod and i can see my photo.
However, open the zip of your rom, extract the apk called "HTCAlbum.apk" and push it or replace it in the zip and flash it.
This mod was suppose to be for deodexed custom ROMs only. I'll make another patch for odex ROM and post an update.
If anyone can deodex it right now and give me a link I'll appreciate it as I don't have the tools right now to make one.
Or maybe try removing the /system/app/HTCAlbum.odex file and see if it will work.
