Hi
Finally - first post after just reading the forum, and for good start it's kind of how to questions.
So, as mentioned in the topic I need to restore standard TW Launcher on my device, at the moment it is broken thanks to my noobish operations. I tried to replace TW with the modded TW4.5.
TW4.5 doesn't work on my gs2 and to install it I just deleted the stock one. I made a copy of standard apk, but nothing happend when I copy it back into system/app directory. It also won't to be installed.
Now I use GO Launcher and I'm happy with it but the thought that standard one doesn't work make feel strange.
Please help
I had the same issue last night but got TW4.5 working fine in the end. However i did end up going back to the original anyway (some widget bugs that i probably could have sorted but couldnt be bothered -.-').
The way i got my original TW back was as follows:
1) Put the original touchwiz30.apk file and the .odex file back into /system/app.
2) Delete the Touchwiz4.apk
3) Try install the old launcher only to be told "Application not installed".
4) Reboot the phone and it should let you use the normal launcher again, use Home Switcher if youve set the other as default.
Hope this helps

Thanks a lot mate, this is what I actually thought, cuz it's simple and the most logical at all, but I lost my mind with this mess, so can I ask you/anyone for a favor to upload/send on email both of these files, please?

edit:
Problem's solved, I made silly mistake - I didn't recognize that the root uninstaller app did add the '2.3.3' phrase between file name and file extension.
U helped a lot by posting the correct file name.
Thanks
Thanks for the question I have the same problem.
can u post ur stock files cuz i ****ed up and didnt take backup plz?
Srry for lag, havent seen it. I'll upload it tommorow from work or if u need it earlier I suggest to download a rom based on stock one and you will find it (there's stock tw in villain rom for sure).

THIS NOT MY ROMS
WARNING:
This mod is experimental, and for advanced users only. Use it at your own risk
NOTE:
1. READ this thread first Multiboot
2. Use CWM
3. Now only enable Multiboot for rom XGin in external
4. Do it at ur own risk!!!!
To enable Multiboot mod Installation on XGin.
- Flash the CWM MULTIBOOThttp://www.multiupload.com/SBZQN40EH1 via CWM (only enable to custom rom, tested Xgin,FBv17)
Multiboot ROM Installation
The following scenario is provided as a proof of concept in order to install XGin as a boot from sdcard option
- Reboot into the new recovery and navigate to the new 'multiboot' menu. There you'll see the following options:
Select default boot option
Unset default boot option
Create boot option from zip
Delete existing boot option
Flash zip to boot option
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select multiboot->Create boot option from zip and then pick the XGin flashable zip.(UpdateXG5.4.zip) Be patient, this step reserves the space and flashes the selected zip to the system.img in the sdcard
Select multiboot->Flash zip to boot option, pick your newly created boot option and then pick the XGin-Multiboot.zip.http://www.multiupload.com/X7W93K95IS This will flash the patch needed for XGin in order to make it run from sdcard. You can use this option in order to flash any zip you want to any of the boot options you have already created
Select multiboot->Select default boot option and pick your newly created boot option
Reboot (first boot will take some time depending on your sdcard speed).
To verify you have booted to your newly created boot option, check 'adb shell mount', it should say that /system /data and /cache is mounted from /loop* devices and not from mtd*
Uninstall
Practically, if you flash a ROM image it will revert CWM / chargemon to its original state. There is not problem in keeping this CWM / chargemon version though.
To revert booting from your phone's memory instead of the sdcard, navigate to multiboot->Unset default boot option
To remove installed boot options, navigate to multiboot->Delete existing boot option and pick you choice. Alternatively remove the boot option you want from /sdcard/clockworkmod/multiboot/
Disclaimer:
I can't be held responsible if this mod bricks your device / trashes your sdcard or makes it explode in your hands! Use it at your own risk!
Hope you enjoy it..

it's not useless....u can make multiboot from XGin 6.1, with it u can boot XGin as main ROM and other GB ROM (GDX, GC, etc) as external ROM.
Why he post XGin 5.4? it's because the dev make multiboot option since XGin 5.4 was released, not just for XGin 5.4, it's also applicable to other XGin 5.4 version above, i know that cause i used XGin ROM since 5.1 was out.
once again please think and read before u post, and it's written for advance user only so no wonder u post like that

this roms compatible with stock kernel only.
This thread exists in dev section already and contains all files and info. Its nothing new, I remember using this mod last year. @op, check out the other thread as it might have info to help you improve your thread, I don't think kulios2000(other thread author) is around here anymore, it would be great for someone to follow on this mod.

Hi, i'm new to the ROM building/editing stuff. I've read a lot about building ROM's from scratch, but thats not what i'm interested in. I would like to know if, and if i can how, i can edit an existing rom for the Samsung Infuse 4g such as the stock rom and replace stock apps. I want to just edit some of the system/apps like the stock launcher, stock messaging app, etc and replace them with different ones that i already have downloaded. I don't want to edit any of the really deep/internal stuff just the stock applications that are loaded on the phone. Pretty much i want to theme it i guess you could say. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advanced. I'm looking forward to working with custom ROM's.
bump. can anyone help a guy out??

How do you flash new rom on your samsung. Is it a .zip file and you flash it via cwm?

Assuming your file is a .zip file, you could just replace the applications you want (found in the "system/app" folder) on the zip, and sign it afterwards with a tool like AndroidSigner. It works for me
dsixda's kitchen
I haven't used this, but I have seen other ROM modders talk about this application called Kitchen (by dsixda). The link to the post is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
From the looks of it, it fits your bill.
you have Output the /system and do some work like change themes and other stuff and their is guys in Android Development and Hacking>Android Software Development
First off, thanks for all your replies, I appreciate getting some assistance. To answer most questions, yes I have the rom as a .zip file and flash it with cwm. I will try to replace the apps I want and then look into signing it ( which I don't know a whole lot about, but ill Google it.)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
Yeah so the apps are in /system/apps/ You can replace them easily, but You have to set good permisions

Can someone say to me how can i replace an app with update.zip??
I want to replace the music app that is on the phone with another kind of music app... how can i do it?
in this case, you need to forget about update.zip
1. root your phone
2. get a file explorer. like root explorer or astro
3.a. find the .apk file that relates to the app you want to uninstall OR
3.b. use titanium backup to freeze or remove the app
4. install the new one
Which app are you trying to uninstall? and are you sure it's safe to uninstall it?
hope this helps
Sorry, but i know that is possible to do.
In fact, during the first installation of CM7 for the Galaxy GIO, there were a lot of apps, and then the developers released an update (update.zip). When i flashed this zip, the old apps has unistalled and there were new different apps. So?
while updating if u wipe data(factory reset) then all your previous apps will be gone. mostly in updates u need to wipe just cache and dalvik. so the apps will stay. you can use titanium backup to backup your apps + app data and restore them after updating

I'm still confused as to whether u have root and what phone your using ??
(I'm assuming your using the GIO?)
If u have already done what u wanted to do, how did u do it?

Hi all !
In first, i want to apologize for my english :s.
Secondly, I'd like to know if there are AOSP sms/mms for s3. I found this for S2 but no S3. Or is that someone has a good tutorial to modify an apk?
Thanks !
Just download it from a cm9/cm10 rom depending on which version of Android you have and using some root explorer put it on system/app and delete Semms.apk.
And set the permission.
EDIT: Or just download the zip on this post and flash it on but I didn't try it myself, not sure if it works, so do a backup first.
