If you accidentally deleted an application that you wanted later or just simply desire the files for development of custom TouchWiz based roms (or any other reason) and don't want to fish for them on a stock device, then here they are
These files are from the unmodified but rooted NG2 software. The only modification was that the device was rooted, so obviously @Chainfire's supersu is not part of the original files.

Note these are NOT flashable ZIPs. These are archives of each directory for cherry-picking the bloat apps.
**EDIT 2014 OCT 25TH***
Will not be making flashable ZIPS. If you so desire to do so, go for it. I now have the S5 and no free time as it is.

You know what maybe. I'm sure anyone whom would use this would be for modding and making of TouchWiz based roms, but if this is the wrong place for this I do apologize.

No big deal, most likely if it belongs in another section a mod will let inform you that its being moved, I was just curious, just downloaded, going to flash a tw ROM & test a few of these , did you pull these yourself by the way?

Yes I did. I simply took them from a stock rom. Which I'm sure anyone could do - just I know I never thought to until i'm at a point where I have no choice but to flash back to stock. So now everyone has them handy.
They are simple file copies. It's not a flashable zip. Extract and use adb to push or simply copy to your device. Again these are mainly for those who are building custom TouchWiz based roms and want to include some of the bloat - but can be used by those who need some of the applications for whatever reason. But they aren't flashable and some probably will have to be replaced using adb push.
I will try to work on a flashable zip but that will take me some time. Also a flashable zip file doesn't help those whom say only want Sprint's Zone app for example but don't need the rest of the bloat. Just saying. But will post when I have made flashable zips for all-in-one bloat.

Someone else chime in here if this is wrong:
but... some of the touchwiz apps will refuse to work thru a simple file copy from within the device. If that happens, some of it - keyword "some" will be fixed by using a custom recovery like philz-touch or CWM or TWRP and clearing both cache and dalvik-cache after doing the file copy - at least that worked on 4.3 and 4.2.2. But KitKat has changed some things so I'm not sure.
If anyone else has dealt with this, please do comment....
When pushing .apks with ES or Root Explorer (my personal favorite) you do need root and need to place in the correct folder (system/app, system/priv_app, or system/lib if it's a lib file) and be able to change permissions - usually to rw, r, r.
... So definitely pay attention where you copy the files from and where ya put 'em.
If not done, they will not work.
Hope this helps someone!
Just wanted to let those of you whom are watching this thread know that due to personal stuff I have no time to make flashable ZIPs anytime soon but if anyone wants to take a stab at it before I get to it then be my guest

Yes I copied it to the system folder and then tried to install it. What do you mean by set permissions? For arguments sake I gave it rwxrwxrwx permissions and it still will not install.

Make sure you copy it to /system/priv-app folder, and set permissions to rw-r--r-- (644) NOT rwxrwxrwx, otherwise it will not work.
Reboot and you should be good to go.

Rebooting and trying now, hoping my error with the permissions was the issue. Also, I'm not finding the stock calculator app in these archives. I may be being stupid again though, I apologize if that's the case.

One more time verify permissions are set correctly..they should match all of the other apps in the folder. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik and try rebooting. Hopefully that works.

then you have partial root. its a normal issue, that happens often enough. to be 100% sure, you can try editing tour build.prop file. if the edits stay after a reboot then you have full root. if they don't stay after a reboot, then you have partial root. which is why viper isn't working. it can also be that your system is full. you can delete whichever apps you don't use from /system/app/, which will give you space. you did say you flashed it but it never appeared. if its full, it can't appear.

where you can copy and past APKs for a certain folder and the tool will create a new flashable zip for you.

Hi,
No problems here with ZipMe. Only thing that doesn't work (actually it never worked) is including app data. It gets lost when flashing the zip because of linking stuff.

i *think* that the permission is the problem as the app was never updated for MM. It doesn't ask for this permission AFAIK.
Titanium backup has an option to build a flash able zip from app backups. It's under menu->special features->create update.zip. I believe that installs app data as well.
This is an extension of my Android Oreo Pixel Mod thread, found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/zip-android-oreo-pixel-mod-t3661388
This thread is for the users who want the Pixel Mod but also the ability to use Substratum. Why does my original mod break substratum? It modifies the framework-res.apk. The pixel no longer gets it's features from a modified framework-res.apk. It gets it from a theme. Making a pixel mod work with Substratum now requires making the 6P do the same thing as the Pixel. However, to simplify the mod I mimiced the features by modifying the framework-res.apk. This breaks Substratum. Following this walkthrough will enable the Pixel Theme on your 6P without modifying your framework-res.apk. Exactly how Google does it with the Pixel. (Exciting right?) This will allow the use of Substratum. This is what I am using and I can verify that substratum works.
Here'es the first thing: The files that you will need.
1)My original Pixel mod (flashable) -- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545590555
2)Stock framework (flashable) -- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298981491
3)Pixel Theme files (NOT flashable) -- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195925591
4)You need to be ROOTED
5)You need a file manager that has root functions and can edit file permissions. (I.E.: Amaze File Manager, EX File Explorer, MT Manager)
Here are the steps. This is as simple as I can make it at the moment. It's not too complicated, but if you are a beginner with this stuff make sure to make a back up. Even if you're not. Make a backup. You are responsible for anything that happens to your device and making a backup will save everybody.
Step 1) Download all files onto your internal storage
Step 2) Extract the contents of "NO FLASH Pixel Mod + Substratum.zip". You should have a build.prop file and a folder called "overlay"
Step 3) Move that folder in your Vendor folder. Leave behind the "build.prop" If you go to your root directory you should see the folder "Vendor". Along with folders like "sys" and "system". But you don't want those. You want "Vendor".
Step 4) Make sure the permissions are accurate. The 2 apk files that you will find inside the "overlay" folder (the framework file and the pixel.apk file you'll find in the "pixel" folder inside the "overlay" folder) are set to 644. The folders "overlay" and "pixel" ("pixel" is found within the "overlay" folder) needs to be set to 755.
Step 5) Edit the build.prop file found within your vendor to include the lines that are found in the included build.prop (See footer)
Step 6) Reboot into TWRP
Step 7) In this order flash "Android OPR6 Pixel Mod 6P.zip" and then "Stock Framework.zip"
Step 8) Reboot
Step 9) If you don't see Round Icons you may need to clear Pixel Launcher Data
If SystemUI is crashing after reboot, reboot into TWRP and mount the vendor partition. Then delete the overlay folder and that'll solve the issue
If you followed those correctly you should have now have a Pixel Theme (Accent color, Night Mode, and Round icons) with compatibility with Substratum.
*footer*
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
ro.com.google.ima.theme=5
ro.boot.vendor.overlay.theme=com.google.android.theme.pixel
Followed each step as explained. Changed permissions from 644 to 755. Blue accent gone and stock teal is back. Default round icons gone and the ever so stupid square ones back. And Substratum's still broken. Wonder where I went wrong!!!
Edit : Additional to that, there are 'n' number of folders namely ".." with today's date as modified date. Each ".." folder contains multiple ".." folders and it just keeps going on and on....
Never faced this earlier. Have I screwed up something???

Pleasure's all mine. When we can not do something on our own, the least we could do is to assist someone who is more capable.
Coming back to the point, I am using Amaze & EX Explorer to replace the said files.
Strangely, I am getting various error messages, like "Insufficient space".
Also, everytime I try and copy a folder, it wont show up until I restart the device.
I know this is little too much for you to imagine. I'll may be post a short GIF in some time for you to get a gist of the issue.
Thanks and apologies for the story.

Congratulations to me... I think I screwed up my phone. All of a sudden Substratum started working (may be I had done everything alright???). Applied a couple of overlays and voila!!! The phone does a factory reset by itself and get stuck at the Google animation. Interestingly, it's the new animation that came with the OPR6 mod. Don't know where I went wrong. I have currently switched my cell off. Maybe I need to reflash everything again???

I don't believe there is a need to wipe if your phone factory reset itself. There may be a chance that it didn't successfully factory reset. I would reflash stock system.img and stock vendor.img. That should undo everything and let you boot up

Not to contradict OP but I used 644 for files (.prop and apk's) and 755 for folders. Also I don't know if it helps but at first I didn't have night light and installed the "pixel" apk (inside the overlay folder), rebooted the device and voila! After that just cleared pixel launcher cache and that took care of the round icons.
It seems my android\OBB folder is write protected. I can't install certain apps that need to write to this folder. I can't seem to unlock it and have been trawling Google for solutions.
I can delete the folder, then create a new OBB folder, but I still can't copy a folder into it. I'm using a rooted EU rom if this helps. Thanks

Can someone check on their phone if they can copy a file or folder into the obb folder? I'm getting very desperate for a fix

I have faced this exact problem a few weeks ago. It started after I flashed a ROM, MiRum if I'm not mistaken. Tried deleting it via TWRP and make a new folder, changing the folder permission, no luck. I don't know how exactly I got my issue resolved, but I think wiping your data (storage) will do. Just backup your data, wipe your device clean, reflash your ROM, restore everything, and you'll be good to go...I guess.
I'm sorry if I can't be of more help to you in this regard.

Thank you for this. I have seen this and unfortunately on miui 10 this option is not there. The only option for mock sd card is to formal it. There is nowhere to enable/disable it. Not that I can find with developer options also enabled.
have you ever try to toggle "MIUI Optimization"？ will it help?
or you may check the group/permission of the folder, here is mine
6815767 drwxrwx--x 72 root sdcard_rw 4.0K 2019-06-13 10:12 data
6815746 drwxrwx--x 4 root sdcard_rw 4.0K 2019-06-06 18:10 obb

I will check that now. Where can I check the group/permissions for the holder?
Thank you
I am going with a wipe and reinstall of everything. Hope this works
And a fresh wipe and install fixed it
