Hello everybody.
I would like to know how can I port apps? And what tools do I need.
[Currently], I would like to port the one-handed keyboard from android 4.3 (290) to android 4.2 (257) and I don't have a clue as of how to do it, all I know is that I need the apk ( I have apk and odex (don't know if I need odex) ) and I know that there are some .so and some libs need to be copied as well.
Maybe if I could do this i'll try to port the handwriting from Z Ultra.
Regards,
~J2C

No thanks, I don't want 3rd party apps & I want to do something myself
Ok, so I got the apk and odex (don't know what it does, but I got it anyway) and decompiled the apk and found the "lib" folder and I don't know what to do next. I'll keep searching.
Hope someone can help me with this.

Will do, as soon as I go home.
P.S: libs are not in the apk
Edit: it looks like the apk should be deodexed to use the tools I have =/ Tried downloading a ported apk and found out that it is deodexed, pushed to /system/app and fixed permissions, Now I don't get "stopped working", but when I click anywhere to type something, the keyboard simply doesn't show up. it does show up in the settings when connecting to WiFi or something.

Ok so I am trying to get friend stream to work in the new fresh rom. I got the apk from damages rom along with the widget. In cmd I successfully push the apps /system/app/ after typing in adb remount. However after I reboot the app is not there. How do I get this to work? Also was wondering how to port a system app from a darchlegend rom to work on any other rom. Any advice is welcome.

Wont work, period. It needs an .odex for both the widget and the normal .apk for it to work in the latest release.

Ok I can pull the odex file but where does that go? Or is that something created when the apk is compiled if so any good tuts for editing and recompiling?

I was kind of hoping TitaniumBackup would give me this one...
I can't find the odex...
But I read from the other Hero forum that Friendstream may require an update package.
Does anyone know what apps from the RAZR will work on the Bionic? Also, I am trying to find the face recogniton app in the RAZR system dump but can't seem to find it; anyone know the name?

Razr doesn't have face recognition. You're thinking Nexus.

Most specifically, I want the camera to work. I tried installing normally with no avail and also tried replacing the BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex in the /system/app folder and changed permissions to rw-r--r-- but after I rebooted there wasn't a camera app at all so I reversed the process with the stock camera and now have that back.
So, is there anyway to make the camera work?
I personally would like the smart apps... At least the wifi part.... come home, data goes off, wifi comes on

This is the only app I could find that looks like it could be the smart actions app. The apk and odex file are in the zip.
has anyone tried this apk? does it work on deodexed roms
id like to see the music apk...played with it the other day and worth it

There is only the apk in this zip. I put it in /system/app and rebooted but it is not showing up. What to do? I am new to this stuff so my apologies if I missed something.
The profiles for power managment from the RAZR would be great on the Bionic. Locale does not natively support shutting off the cellular data when Wifi is active.
Is the Profile function part of the Zip?

Have ypu tried changing the permissions to "rw-r--r-- ?" )
OK, apparently the first zip file only contained the apk file. This one has both, the apk and odex files.

Does the odex go in /system/app too? I put both there with rw/r/r permissions and rebooted but I don't see the app installed.
EDIT: Also, is this meant to work on deodexed roms?

Yes, the odex file goes in the system/app folder but I don't think it will work on a deodexed rom. Deodexed roms don't have odex files.

Anyone out there willing to make a deodexed version of the app?
I pulled this off this deodexed rom. It's a deodexed smart actions app.

Search for Verizon, then click the link for all apps from developer. It's available through Verizon for free. It will uninstall as well, so you won't be stuck with bloatware if you decide you don't like it. I tried it for a while. It's worth is if your not on the Unlimited data plan.
Here is the link for smart actions. It has been hacked to work on the bionic

I have been given the Samsung keyboard and I'm trying to install it and it won't!
Can anyone give any clues as to why it is not installing??
I'm using [ROM][4.0.4] RemICS v1.1 (Team Remics).
Cheers,
AndyP85
Any ideas folks???
I too tried but was the same.
If you want then try putting it in system/app and reboot your phone.
How that works.

Use root browser and copy the apk

I think we can raise this in the remics thread and hope it will be fixed in next update.

It's only the Samsung keyboard, so you would of thought that it would of worked.
Look forward to the update, any idea of eta?

Make sure you are rw in explorer, and you might need to delete the old Samsung keyboard if there is one in your ROM, and set permissions to match the other files in that folder, might need a reboot too

Is it actually working for anyone????
???
If the install and copying to the system/app doesn't work it probably needs other files like framework and permissions.
Hope the ROM guys can fix this up for you.

Go to res/values/strings.xml..open strings.xml using Notepad++ and edit the app name..

thanks for corection .....
you will need to extract apk with some apk tool because xml files are unreadable
And don't forget to sign...unless it's a system app.

Hi... could anyone please rename an app for me?
I want to rename 'Boat Browser' to 'Internet'.
I am on Android 4.2.2..
I have no idea how to make these edits, and "decompiling" and "java" is really complicated for me...
would anyone do it for me please?
Here's a working Deodexed Browser.apk from the ThreeUK build.
the sim-free xZ come with Chrome as default,
some people prefer the normal android browser (I Like both, so use this and chrome beta )
it does have some features that chrome doesn't such as full-screen and quick-controls.
to install : You will need ROOT !
on an unbranded rom, you will need to remove
system/app/chrome.apk
system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk
Possibly remove
data/app/Chrome apk
data/data/com.android.browser.provider
otherwise you could get issues with conflicting package names.
then push this to system/app and chmod to 644
Appears you need chromebookmarksyncadaptor as well to get synced bookmarks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32558502
cheers r1c4rd0 for that
Lost with last step then I think "push this to system/app an chmod to 644 ?"
edit: got it, but still not working (rw-r-r)

copy the browser.apk in root explorer to system/app/ and set the correct permissions to the same as the other files in there rw-r--r- (or 644 as a code) :silly:
