Here's what i did
i wanted the stock gallery 3d app so badly so i took it from stock jpm (both the odex and apk)
then i placed them both in the system/app/ folder
strange ..didn't work.. (didn't show in app drawer at all..)
so i installed gallery 3d from market and then replaced that apk with the stock gallery apk
even strange.. when i opened the gallery app, i got the old gallery app not the stock app
for those who are wondering.. stock gallery app is flawless and has blue highlighting while the one in the market has yellow highlighting and appears patched while scrolling and is damn slow..
question is.. how do i install stock apps in custom roms??
I had the same problem but then with touchwiz and on a stock rom:
I wanted to enable landscape mode in touchwiz and for some kinda reason I deleted the touchwiz30launcher.apk and the odex file... I tried to place it again but with no succes... For another reason my phone was captured into a bootloop so I flashed the firmware again and everything works fine. I would also like to know how you get that stock apps working if they weren't on your phone after flashing...
ok atleast tell me how to deodex apps..
is it enough to move the /data/dalvik-cache/classes.dex into the corresponding apk??

Does anyone have a DL09 ROM that has been deodexed but still has all of the bloatware?
Nothing against the developers of the current DL09 ROMS I just want to be able to take out exactly what I want.
I searched and couldn't find anything...

unzip a deodexed rom and get the apk you want.
use search to find a deodexed rom with all apk's
it has been discussed a number of times within the forum

I would like to see this as well, as what I want doesn't seem to play nice with the phone. Ultimately, what I want is a stock, de-binged, de-odexed DL09, that still has the bloatware I can custom remove, and want to replace the Car dock with the google-friendly one (part of de-binged), desk dock and music player with AOSP versions, and the accurate circle battery fix. The de-odexed DL09 rom I found from adrynalyne is debloated, removing some apps I want. And my attempts to add them back, such as Write&Go, fail to install and Root Explorer won't allow me to dropt it into System/Apps. I also like the option to flip to TW Launcher if I choose and have the full selection of Samsung Widgets to play with to shake things up.
Get Samsung Apps from sonofskywalker3's section of ROM Manager.

did you set the system/apps to R/W access? The new versions of Root Explorer default to R/O.
Adrynalyne's DL09 supah clean 0.4 has TW still included, and ADW as well. You should be able to add all the apps you want back to it without issue. I've restored MMS and VVM without issue, and have a theme w/ circle battery installed, running snappy as hell.

Yeah, my root explorer is mounted as r/w, but when i choose to paste the .apk in the system/app folder, does nothing
What I REALLY wish we had was a kitchen for roms. Blackhole is close, but doesn't have all options available. I've seen a port from the Vibrant forums that looks promising. Times like these make me wish I had learned a programming language

would be nice if smb could help me...
There are several apps out there that allow u to uninstall system apps. I use Link2SD myself. With it u can uninstall any syestem app or if don't want to uninstall it u can just freeze it. It also has an option to convert 3rd party apps to system apps so u could convert QuickPik to system/app if u wanted. And u could use it to get rid of or freeze all those launchers too. I believe Titanium Backup can do all of that too. Or an app call Root Uninstaller. Just look on the Play Store & u'll see several but i recommend Link2SD personally. Good luck
Open the ROM zip file in 7-zip or WinRAR, Delete the Apex, Nova, and Trebuchet Launcher apks from /system/app and put in the launcher you want. Preferably keep Trebuchet (Launcher2.apk) along with the launcher you want. So in case it doesn't work, there's a launcher for your phone to use to rather than pull out the battery and re-flash ROM. Same with gallery. Delete Gallery2.apk and put QuickPic apk in /system/app. Finally flash ROM. No need to wipe anything, the IceColdSandwich updater script formats /system, /cache and dalvik-cache.

Basically, after I deleted some bloatware with TB, my gallery wouldnt open for some reason. I can't remember what I deleted that could have caused this. I installed the 4.3 gallery and camera but I didnt like it, so I removed it. Now I have no gallery app
"App isnt isntalled"
Is there any way I can get the stock gallery back? I cant figure out how to view the deleted apps in TB

If you had made a backup of your phone in Tibu, chances are you still have the file since Tibu won't delete files from the backups just because you deleted them from the phone. Start Tibu, go to the restore menu, go to option for apps not installed. Your backup file list should show a copy of gallery. Restore that.
Or, you can install a gallery alternate that some folks use (and never touch Gallery!) something like Quickpic or 3D Gallery.
Good Luck
Not sure if I'm able to do this but I really like the stock weather widget on the T-Mobile LG G2. It's a customized version of the accuweather widget with animations. I have the apk and odex files which i copied to system\apps and gave all three groups read permission, rebooted and still can't seems to see it in the list. When I try to select/install the apk in file browser, it fails to install.
After thinking about it, i'm even wondering if it's possible to take a stock apk and transfer/install it on another phone entirely.
I'm running stock ROM on 4.4.2 KOT49H
Hey, folks!!
Most of us moved to Lollipop and keep seeing many bugs and some of the Apps missing like for eg. Gallery.
Searches end me with Gallery Apps which weren't fully working. Desperated and frustrated me, finally did find one working app and thought of sharing it with others who would really be interested.
You can flash the App via Custom Recovery or can do it manually by moving the desired folder using a file manager, like Total Commander (this is what am using). Many are available based on your interest. Remember to extract the zip and move the folders to another location and then place in the respective places.
Editing Images is possible with this App if you correctly place the lib file at /system/lib
I myself have tried only the KK Gallery on N4 & N5 which is working flawlessly

Folks, am just sharing so everyone can make use of what is required.
I want to use the motorola gallery. It looks nice. But what lib file should I place in /system/lib? It isn't in the flashable zip...

Motorola Gallery may not have the lib file. Haven't checked it but did the KK Gallery. Editing is supported only in KK Gallery according to the post
So I tried the flashablr zip, but after installinh nothing changed? No gallery app popped up. I looked in the /system/app/ folder and I found the .apk l. Do you know how I can fix this?

Which one did you try? Have checked KK Gallery on N4 & N5 and its working without any flaws. On N4, used the Flashable zip and on N5, i installed manually (both running Lollipo 5.0.1)

I thought that you installed the app from the link have provided. Try that and let me know. Just to clarify, are you rooted?

Yes I am on stock 5.0.1. Rooted it and installed TWRP. Tried that zip and several others but none of them worked. Also created a flashable zip myself. But that didnt work either...
By flashing it, the app comes in the /system/app folder but doen't appaer in the app drawer and trying to copy it manually ends up in an error (see attachments).
I guess I will be re-flashing factory images and see if it works after that.

Dude, why don't you try installing it? I tried the KK Gallery as such (open & install) and it works well
