[Req] NS4G System Dump - Nexus S General

Can someone with a stock NS4G use root explorer to zip '/system' and post it here, (you don't have to be rooted to do this).
To do that open root explorer, long press system and select zip this folder, the finished zip file will be system.zip in /sdcatd/speedsoftware/zip.
I can mirror after that so you don't have to host the file.
That would help us see the differences from the GSM nexus. I will also use it to make a zip for people who want to go back to stock after messing up or something, and make a deodexed version so people can theme there NS4G.

both of those things have already been posted in the dev section.
*will post system in a sec
**nvm, you want stock rooted, thats not me

I haven't seen a stock flashable rom, just one that uses Odin to do that, and all the deodexd versions there are modified with custom kernels and apps.
Can you point me to a totally stock rom

No one up for the challenge? A nandroid backup will be just as good.

I have a question about making a zip file

I would like to put a bunch of the zip files I flash and throw them all together and flash just one zip file. Anyone have any insight for me?

You should be able to extract the file structure of ur multiple zips and consolidate them into one flshable. Not sure how to explain it better than that though. What all are u flashing?

More then likely you will need to change the install script depending on the file structure of .zips you added to one .zip

Sorry, you asked for the apk's. If you have trouble with ES or Root Explorer like Zanderman said, just flash this zip in CWM.

Thanks again !
Any chance you can re-link the Android keyboard? Mediafire is saying it can't process that file request. The others work find.
Thanks!

I wont be at my PC until this evening so I can't repost the Android keyboard link until then, but the zip file above will flash both keyboards. You can delete the Samsung keyboard from inside the zip before flashing it, or from your system/app directory afterwards if you don't want it. Or you can extract whichever keyboard from the zip and push it to system/app.

Is it in anyway possible to cook a file manager of some sort into one of the cm10/aosp/kang roms?
I know it goes against the whole ethos but it would make life a little more simple
Download one from the play store, it would probably be easier than making a stupid, pointless thread on xda. :silly:

Most of Roms have one integrated

Having to do that every time I install a rom data allowance for some ppl is small.
Btw if you have nothing constructive to reply aside from calling ppl silly don't fing reply, keep your opinion to yourself.
It might be a 1mb install from the play store, therefore it'll make the rom 1mb bigger. Same thing.
Btw if you have nothing constructive to post on xda, don't start a silly thread.

use android injector to install the file manager apk from your pc... no need to waste your data.
Most Roms come with some sort of File Manager.
My Solution to your ( with a data restriction ) is a simple one. go into your current file explorer, navigate to Data/App and copy the apk of the file explorer you are using and put in on your ext sd.
Now you will NO LONGER have to download the app, just use the stock/provided explorer to install the one you would rather use.
almost 100% of custom roms have some sort of stock explorer to at least get that done.
hope that helps.

Or you could make a cwm flash able zip for titanium backup, so that when you flash a new rom you flash that zip as well and you can restore the browser/apps that you need
Titanium Backup has an option somewhere to make a flash able zip for you, look around the menus and you'll find it
I used to do this myself b4 I got a contract with more data per month
Hope this helps
Ps: i did this on the free version long ago, I assume that it's still there

Can I use the cm10.1 message apk on a stock rooted Nexus 4?

I want to keep my Nexus stock but I really like the text message app from cm. Is there a way to use that one instead of the stock message app? I'm assuming I just have to remove the stock app and then replace it with the cm one right?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yup. Replace and set permissions. Reboot
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Replace it in root explorer.
Yes, just use any file manager with root access and replace it and then give correct permission (rwx-r--r-- I believe)
Also I highly advise you to make a copy of the stock app and place it somewhere in the phone, just in case.
ALSO if you're odexed, this might now work as it also needs odex file and if you are odexed and replaced the app, you might get into the bootloop I think. Never tried it on odexed ROMs, but I think that's what happens

Did you do flash any ROM? If not, you have odexed ROM. Make sure to make a nandroid backup before doing this as I believe you might get into the bootloop.
You can easily get the app by doing that.

No. Before you screw with anything in system, make a backup. If you break something, a simple restore will fix it.
The cm message app is system/app/messaging.apk. Extract it from the cm zip and follow the directions above to install it.

You won't go into a boot loop, only thing that will happen is either the Mms.apk won't show up in the launcher or it'll FC. Sometimes, using the newest one from nightlies will cause FC. One has been posted in the apps section that works and has what you're looking for. Its better to use any root explorer app and copy it to /system/apps and fix permissions. And like someone said, make a copy of your original Mms.apk and Mms.odex files to your phone..
Sent from my Nexus 4
If you're just stock rooted, you'll have to go in and re-install the messaging app after every reboot because the stock uses the .odex files to create the mms app, but there is a stock, deodexed, rooted ROM here, and you can just load the CM10.1 MMS into it and it'll work fine. That's what I did
Or you could check out Glowfly on the play store.
It's a pop-up notification app with quick reply support.
Made the same recommendation in a similar thread in the Themes and Apps section. I'm not affiliated with the devs. Just wanted to show support for a good app.
anyone know if this app changes the orienation of your photos from landscape to portrait? This seemed to be a bug on all roms using this apk on my old Galaxy s2.

Using a file manager, go to the zip file containing the rom you're running, navigate to system >app and export the app you want. Then navigate to the extracted app and you should be able to install it
copy, or extract and copy, the .apk file (and the .odex file if an odexed ROM) from the .zip for the ROM you're using.
paste them in system/app
set permissions to rw-r-r
reboot
you should have your app back.
