Galaxy S System dump

Summary:
Hey guys I'm working on a project to port the touchwiz framework to other devices using an update.zip to get running some touchwiz apps like music player on our phones.
So what I need is the system dump, or better if someone could upload the 2.2 update /framework/; and if you can /app and /bin folders to any good uploading service(FTP/stashbox/multiupload/dropbox, you get it).
I'd really apperciate that! Thanks!

bump for interest.

Please reupload if you can!

My dad haves a samsung galaxy 2.1 how can i help you
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Well wow, first of all I REALLY appreciate your help, second I have no idea how you do that... You have to somehow access the system folder.
You can try:
Connect the phone to pc via RECOVERY (you need root AFAIK) and copy whole system(not sd card!) and upload it.
Try to copy whole ./framework and ./app folder from system to sd card, using a file manager like... androzip.
Use KIES/nandroid to backup and upload your backup(no worries won't read your personal data ). Though dunno if we could use it... or how...
You can try google it!
Really thanks!
EDIT:
btw what android version is your dad's galaxy using? It's very important info! Thanks.

hehe, you want to port touchwiz ... a lot of us are trying to get rid of it
but i guess there are some apps that are really good (movie-player, cam-app, calculator, ...)
i will pull the system folder from my JPC firmware an send you a pm containing the download link shortly (will host it myself and i don't want to have a lot of downloads ...)

I love you.

BTW, why don't you just download firmware package of your choice and extract the files you need from that?

My dad's GS is on stock 2.1.. Think i need to root it first...

They are modified, if not the framework is missing, if it'd be there it would be modified. Can't use. Also there is no custom 2.2 f/w as far I searching, and the original is not in zip format.

How extract a .rfs file from an firmware release:

/system can be found in factoryfs.rfs that is in CODE*.tar and a CODE*.tar is in almost every firmware release.

Dany0,
http://db.tt/u8Hwlue contains the de-odexed framework files and system apps files. Note that a number of apks had been deleted from stock, but still the twlauncher is still there.
Hope this help, and good luck to your porting.

hi i want to port these
just a thing to ask
are the system apps deodexed or is it just the framework that has been deodexed

as far as i understand it stock firmwares are never deodexed. but why don't you just look into /system/app/. if there are any *.odex files around you know for sure that it's not deodexed

(REQ) Market apk

Hi
I have a uk milestone and I messed up my android market
Can anyone upload his market apk and also market updater
please
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

That is pretty much impossible because Google doesnt share the market app for download.. they have copyright on it or something like that, i dont know exactly the reason but you can always google it

Not an official google apk
U just need to pull the market apk from the /system/app directory it is called vending.apk and marketupdater.apk
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

I have uploaded the two apks from my Milestone. Let us know if they work.

Hi,
I don't know what happened with my market app. Before I rooted and installed GOT rom, I had seen that the market app had comments in another tab/button. Now after using GOT, I restored my phone to the latest original stock version (still rooted). I don't see that change any more
Anyone please confirm this?
Thanks!

thx worked like a charm using adb

How did u adb the file nerazouri i have the same problem but cant install from file manager...please give steps and code

otherwise you could've just gone on ROM Manager and downloaded the Gapps package under CM

Force Closing
I've downloaded and Installed the APK thru QuickOffice... but when I tried to download using the Market App, it is force closing... *sigh* now i'm thinking of buying and HTC or Samsung android phone.

That's not the latest market your stuck with the old version. But if you take the vending.apk file out of this archive and put it in with the gapps.zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9741682&postcount=56
then you have the new market and this one also adapts the language of the market to the language of the phone. Just installed and tested it.
Good luck with it

I do have problem with market (FC) after restore from Titanium Backup. Download Gapps package and update from OR is the fast and easy way to recover market.

[MOD] Flash 10.3 Working HULU Updated: 8/9/11

Thanks goes to s197 From incredibleforum.com
I just reuploaded the file and pieced together two different posts of his to get the original to work on this phone.
Hope you all enjoy!
Thanks to KhasMek and anyone else i forgot!
also, make sure your browser is not set to use mobile. it will not work if it is set to that. so if your using stock browser un-check mobile view. if your using dolphin HD make sure your User Agent is set to Desktop.
Flash 10.3 + Hulu_8 is version 10.3.186.3
Edit 2:
updated for new flash, thanks Almighty1 for the edited libflashplayer.so that's been put into the latest flash from market
and added a zip of the modded .so file. i had no problem installing it though after i uninstalled the previous version of the apk.
You can use root uninstaller from market to uninstall some of those apps, such as flash, that come pre-installed on your phone. If you do it that way, make sure to do a reboot after you uninstall flash to make sure it uninstalls all the way.
compuw22c has also made a flashable version if you guys prefer.

Hey guys, visitor from the Epic forums but I loved these hacked libs, but had issues with them sticking on reboot after upgrading to gingerbread. I've compiled them into a CWM flashable zip located in This Post or This DL Link. Details included in the post, credit goes to imneveral0ne for the hex-edited lib files. Enjoy guys! (actually, I'm not quite sure if you guys have this issue or if you have a GB leak out, but regardless, if it doesn't stick on reboot or in 4 days when you get your update, you'll be ready)

I've made this quick little hack to get flash working on any rom (that I've tested).
http://www.mediafire.com/?j4i91phv6g96rtm
Basically, you need to be root. Extract the files to your phone (system -> /system, data -> /data) and reboot. You need to have stock flash installed. It basically patches the libflashplayer on startup so you don't have to manually.

Ok i got Hulu working on my Thunderbolt by following these steps.
1. Download Flash 10.2 on your phone, make sure its set to not auto update
2. Download http://www.mediafire.com/file/en3tj77er9ucrqp/libflashplayer.so
3. Use Root Explorer or ADB to put the file in: /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
4. If it asks if you want to overwrite the file chose yes, i know it will if you use root explorer, not sure about adb cause i didnt use it.
5. Enjoy Hulu on your ThunderBolt!

[Q] darstone superRam Keyboard

does anyone have another keyboard for the darkstone superRam v1.5?? because the actual keyboard is not really accurate..

Swift Key X Beta
I don't know about many keyboards but if you want to type fast without making errors then i would recommend SwiftKey X beta, its a free download from the android market. The reason i love to use it is because of its prediction system which learns from the way you type in facebook or other social networking sites which are supported.
Try it out and let me know if its good.

hey i like it but is there a way put import the sense keyboard from winmo to android?

download americandroid sd rom. in the folder apps you'l find htc imei keyboard apk which is similar to sense ones. maybe a strange recommendation but i did so

Put both on SD Card, enable installation of unsigned apps in Settings and then run both with any file manager. Hopefully will install.

[APP] Gmail 4.0 ICS

Looks like the new ICE Gmail app will run on the A500.
Runs fine on mine with Lightspeed ROM .
To install you'll need to use a file manager such as Root Explorer.
Go to /system/app and rename gmail.apk to something else like gmail.apk1
Then copy the attached gmail.apk to that folder.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=754326&d=1319033154
That's it ! Any gmail widgets will vanish so you'll need to add new ones.
For more info on the new gmail app see this article :
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/10/22/getting-to-know-android-4-0-part-1-gmail-androids-most-important-app/

been using this for a while, but thanks for sharing.
Only bug I notice is the email address being cut off at the top, but not a big deal
Oh, and the widget works for me. Fully resizable too.

working!
big thanks here.

I followed the directions restarted and now all I get is a force close. It shows the new widget in screen editor but wont let me place on the homescreen or open the app itself, anyone have any advice?

Nevermind I had to actually install the APK working great now, liking the new look any news on the new calendar apk?

Does not work here on Thor's rom! I had to revert to the "old" Gmail and I lost my widget that shows the 4-5 last mails received.
Any1 can help?

it works on Thor's ROM, as that is what I'm using it with.When putting the apk in /system/app make sure to set the permissions rw-r--r-- (you can do this with ES File Explorer or Root Explorer) and also reboot afterwards or you may get FC's.

Thanks Bloodfame, it works now...any idea as how to to get a widget similar to the one we had before?

Glad it worked out for you. As far as the widget goes, honestly I have no idea what the old widget looked like (never use it) so I have nothing to go by. There is a nice widget included though. It's fully resizable and you can choose which label to display.

@NoUseToRush - I don't know if it will work but I attach the 3.1 gmail image which I extracted from the old APK.

@Bloodflame
thanks for the response. The only widget included, at least on my system, is the one that launches the email client included in Thors' rom...not the "modified" gmail we are now using.
Anyhow, I can live without it
@ metpolds
I have the icon. I was looking for the widget. Thanks

Nice! This app work only on a500? Or is compatible with many other device gingerbread?

Not sure why you don't have the widget, I received the new ICS widget along with the new Gmail app

did you restart your a500? that or do a force close on your launcher in the 'manage applications' under settings.
this happens a lot with some widgets. they wont show unless a reboot or launcher reboot

Are any of you guys/gals running this ICS Gmail on 3.1 or are you all on some variation of 3.2? I'm still running rooted vanilla 3.1 and when I try to install the APK it comes up with error "failed to parse application". (I did change the permissions!)
Sorry ppl further question - When you replaced Gmail.apk did you also replace the "odex" file or did you leave the original one there? Thks for your patience

1) I'm using 3.2 and it's working for me.
2) You don't install the APK - it's manually replaced in /system/app
3) My ROM (and most other custom ROM's) are deodexed, therefore there is no odex file. You may need a deodexed ROM for this to work, as I believe there might be an issue trying to use the old odex file. Unless you can track down the odex for this version.

@Bloodflame - Many thanks for your answers. Never having installed a custom rom I did not realise the point about "deodexed". However I've decided today to try my luck at installing "Kekinash's near stock" rom so when that's done I'll probably try the ICS Gmail again. Your comment about deodexed comes at an appropriate time because last night I opened up the rom and found for every apk there was an accompanying odex and now I understand the difference between an odexed and deodexed rom

You're welcome. Glad I could help
It might be worthwhile to educate yourself on the Android terminology if you intend to do a lot of modding, flashing custom ROM's, and the sorts. odex/deodex, zipalign, compcache, kernels, etc. Learning what each of these do and how they can affect the performance of your ROM's might help with a happier Android experience overall. Never be afraid to ask questions and don't attempt any kind of modding without a full undestanding of what you're doing. Just my food for thought
