Libs and apks - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section or anything. Is there a way to find out what libs are needed by an apk? I've been trying to use some Xperia apps eg. Conversations.apk and putting them into /system/app but after setting permissions it doesn't appear. I suspect this is because of missing libs but I have no idea. Help will be greatly appreciated

open titanium backup, long press your desired app, click explore.
there you can see the libs.....
then you can extract the libs from the apk, and copy to /system/lib

Thanks. I tried looking into conversations.apk and there was no lib folder Does anyone know how to make it work? Or does it have elements that only the Xperia can access? Thanks in advance

[Q] How to install an apk into system/app?

I am using rooted JVU firmware and would like to install ICS keyboard to my system/app.
I used Root Explorer to copy the apk file into the directory and did a reboot, and the keyboard appeared on my locale and text menu.
However, when I try to select the keyboard, it always return a force close.
Can anybody teach me on how to solve this issue?
There is a thread called "How to: Push apps(.apk)" - you will have to try to use the search function for that name cause I don't think I can post a link yet

I did the search and tried the way as taught, end up having the force close issue.
Is it that not all apk can be installed onto system/app?

You can also try an app called "system cleanup". I'm not sure if it's on the market but there is a thread where you can dl it or you could use titanium pro

Ics keyboard is made to work on android 4.0.x framework ported from Nexus S, ok?
As you revealed in OP you are using Sammy JVU 2.3.6 TouchWiz infected framework.
Why not try to rip out HTC keyboard and push that too while you're in the mood?
When you push an ask to system/app am I write in saying it does not deleted in factory reset..??
What about pushing to system system/media..??
When pushing an apk to system folder,u need root and there is 2 easy ways,either use a root explorer and just push it to the system/app folder or use titanium backup to revert to system app.factory reset(full wipe) doesn't wipe system apk,but everthing else is wiped..
U can also push apk to system via ADB.but a little bit of knowledge is needed

Help in Editing launchers?

How can I edit no. Of rows ,size of app icons in app drawer.

i dont actually know whats the problem.....but i have observed that the apks protected by a signature by original developer don't decompile by apkManager unless you rename them and then try to decompile........so you can try renaming and then decompiling the launcher app

Apk managers and editing system files.

Hey guys! Tried searching for this but did not have luck, so is there anyone who is able to show me a guide on how to use apk. Manager to edit system files (for widget mods) that involve adding lines to: systemui. ? Thanks guys!

[Q] Quickpic as default gallery.

I just hate the default GB & CM7 gallery app as they take a lot of time to show up my pictures ( there are about 600 pictures on my sd ). That's why I decided to replace the default GB gallery app by quickpic. I renamed it to gallery3D, moved it to \system\app by replacing the original gallery & set permissions & rebooted. But quickpic on opening suddenly closes all by itself. Tried a fix permissions via recovery with no success. My question is, how do I get quickpic working ( as a system app & as an alternative to the original gallery ) ? What's causing it to close all by itself ? Is there any odex file of the gallery that causes this ?

Instal quickpic apk separately and then from titanium backup convert it into system app n then delete the previous gallery app. pls hit thnx if helpd.

Some apps like camera and quickpic use lib files to function. The lib files have a set of instructions that are common to the corresponding app. So having a lib file makes it easy so you dont have to re write them again and again.

I already knew that. But I donno why I wasn't reminded of it. May be because I haven't used this method for a long time. Anyways, thanks to all for reminding

The other method works & is easy. Move app to system/app & set permissions. Then copy the lib file to system/lib & set permissions. Reboot & done !

Sure! I think is the best gallery app
Why does it have to be a system app? Just install Quickpic and use TB to uninstall default gallery. That's it. Even if you don't uninstall default gallery, the OS will ask you which app to use by default.

Samsung gallery app problem. How to make Quick Pic app as the default instead
Dear All, Samsung users.
I have been having serious problems with Samsung S4 gallery App. The App just does not work anymore, as it keeps on freezing etc. I have resetted my phone several times and did it hard reset and the same problem occurs.
After several hours of research, I was told to use Quckpic app, which as a standalone is brilliant, but can anyone please give me a step-by step guide to make QuickPic as the default app to work with my S4 camera app, and also how do you delete the standard gallery App from the S4.
Kind regards
