Samsung has a great promotion going on right now for The Secret of Chateau de Moreau. If you have a Samsung Apps compatible phone, like the Galaxy SII or Galaxy Note, then you can get some great games for free. Well I would really like some of those games, so I was wondering if there's a way to get Samsung Apps on my ZTE. I tried just installing the apk, but that failed. So are there any steps I could take to get this working?
I know that Samsung Libs/Framework is required.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Copy the apk to /system/app using root explorer and change the permissions to
rw-

Thank you for that link.
I however can't run any apps due to missing Samsung libs.
I will put them in my phone as soon as Multiupload is back online.
Again, thank you.
No lib file is required for samsungapps.apk, just set the right permission and you're good
And you need to reboot
Forgot to mention that a Samsung app I tried to open just force closed which was the problem stated in the second post, however my copy of Samsung Apps won't show up anywhere. Not in the app drawer nor app management, apparently it is not installed.
Did you reboot?

Of course I did.
I have tried it doing this on Fish and Chips rom and CM7.
Nothing is working.
On sgs I9000 aosp rom (miui,cm7,ics) we have to do this to get Samsung apps working:

Not specific to slim bean, but there are a few things you have to check:
1. Is your ROM odex or deodex. The camera here is the odex version.
2. I think you will have a lot of FC trying some of the features unless you also grab seccamera.jar from the framework.
3. Many times the camera is also tied to the gallery, so you may also need that apk (and all associated files)
If you still want to try to install this and see what happens, you need to open the zip and use a root explorer app to put the two files in the system/app folder. You may also need to fix the permissions after copying. After that, restart the phone and see if it works.
EDIT:
Even with all the extra files I can't get it to work, there are probably other modifications that need to happen before it would work on a different system.
There are quite a few libraries needed (18 libarc*.so and at least 10 others), so it's not an easy port.

So, no one who has the apk for s4 camera yet? I'm on a aosp based rom, but the only "Sammy - feature" I miss is the camera.
Also I have the i9505. Anyone who knows if I can use camera apk. from other s4 models?
Thanks in advance.

Can't get it to work though, maybe it has to be a Sammy based rom?

The camera (as well as a number of other features such as IR Blaster, temp/humid sensors, etc.) require the touchwiz framework in order to work. This means that they will not work on ANY AOSP roms. This includes, AOKP, CM, Slimbean, etc. They will only work on roms that run a touchwiz framework.
As far as porting goes, it would require a ton of modifications require access to drivers and libraries which samsung has not made available in order to complete a port. Nothing is impossible so I won't go as far as saying it won't be done, but it will be extremely difficult and time consuming so many developers have been discouraged from even attempting this. Only time will tell if we'll ever get these things ported.
Thanks for sharing the your info on this, I won't be sitting around waiting for a port sometime soon then!

It is ok, but the Samsung Camera app is way better.
A massive pity really... I may dump Google Edition, or perhaps find a 3rd party camera that can do the Picture-In-Picture feature.... which I love.

Hiii can i grt the app i searched alot for it really alot i have s4 i9500 but i flash it with slimkat rom and i miss the stock app
hello frnds,
When many people were working on multiwindow and CM i decided to work upon my own to bring up s IV camera ..it's so strange that i've not seen a single thread to get this amazing feature !
i will upload my first compilation soon ..
remember it's just the initial build which includes some unnessasry libs and apps ..
but im sure that some experienced dev will be able to solve it ..
btw you don't have to change the app to hdpi as i've done it already
REMEMBER EVEN I DIDN'T TEST THIS BUILD ..IT'S JUST A COMPILATION OF REQUIRED FILES
instructions: (for testers)
1.Please make a nandroid backup..
2.delete seccamera.apk from system/app cause you are installing seccamera2.apk:fingers-crossed:
3.flash via CWM/TWRP and reboot..
instructions: (for devs)
1.before flashing this zip just go through all the contents especially the library files
2.delete what you think is unnecessary
3.do some changes in framework2.jar(i think it has to be edited i'm not sure)
4.then make a nandroid backup and flash..
first compilation:https://www.dropbox.com/s/qludngntsu7asa0/camera beta 1.zip
reseved
HDPI? Hmm. I don't have an Advance but Blaze is the same res. Let me look into it..

good:good:
i really wanted to check what happens..
now here's what exactly happened according to me..
#the zip permissions are al-right so it should have flashed everything properly
#but the space reserved for the ROM in s advance is not enough!
#remember on s3,s4,note 2,grand etc. you don't get 3 divisions of phone memory
#in our phone the phone memory shows around 2 GB
#so the space must have been occupied by the smaller files mainly eraser,beauty face etc.
#time for test 2 buddy !
#goog luck with multiwindow..:good:
Yes you're right after flashing I saw that in the titanium backup.
It shows 631mb in the system rom.

Hey guys! I'm new to the forum and this is my first post on here. I don't really have any advanced programming knowledge, but I have Studied Java in School.
So what I'm basically interested is in making themes for Android Apps like Instagram.
I'm taking help of the following guides -

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916814 [Guides to create Themes]

So i need :-
framework-res.apk (location : /system/framework)
SystemUI.apk (location : /system/app)
twframework-res.apk (location : /system/framework)
I know I need to pull these out from my device, but for that I would have to root it, which I don't intend to because I may brick my device. So if any one of you would be kind enough to extract these apks from your Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T211 ?
Or if I can still make the themes without the apks from the Specific Device, can anybody give me the needed apks from any device?
Btw my Device runs on Android Jellybean 4.1.2
Thank You!
Any help or advice will be appreciated
Sorry I can't help you out, but I would highly recommend rooting. Xda forums have many reliable guides, and if all steps are followed properly the chances of bricking your device are slim. Definitely get more possibilities with a rooted device with custom recovery. Here is a guide if you change your mind.

You can get those files from your device even without rooting, use a file manager like ES Explorer and enable up-to root mode & search the /system directory for the files needed. (No root actually needed, works on ES File Explorer v1.6.2.5 at least).

If you change your mind about root. This link will lead you to a apk you can download directly to phone. No need to hook up to pc. It is absolutely safe and if it does not work. It will simply say fail. No changes made to phone.

well, i cant understand why do you need these files to theme some third party app
these are needed if you are to theme your rom, these are basically what your phone looks like and changing these will change the look of your phone(DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO PUT IN THESE FILES FROM OTHER PHONE, THIS WILL SOFT BRICK YOUR PHONE/TAB)
if you are going to theme your rom, then you need these and you can easily pull these from system directory without the need of root access.
you can use ES file manager/go file manager/root explorer(i recommend) and a lot of such apps out there which can help you access root folders without actual root access
Lol

It's not his/her fault.
These guides he/she read, don't say that you need framework-res.apk (and so on) only for theaming system apps.
Download like root browser open and browse in system/app for systemui.apk there is also systemui.odex also
And for framework
Browse system/framework
N there is no framework.odex for it

A reddit user has gotten a hold of a Nexus 5x early, and posted the new Google Camera. I know a lot of people have been interested in getting a hold of the apk to hopefully get it to run on the Nexus 6, so I figured I'd share.

Definitely worth a try, or if someone has time to deodex it that might work. I want to play around with it more, but I have to go to work, hopefully someone can get it running by the time I'm done!:good:
would you have to be rooted to push this?
you do realize that its just the google camera? you wont get any new features, as itll only show the features that are actually possible from your phone, just like the play store version. lol.
Wasn't sure if it was like moto camera in the play store, and how its limited to certain devices. I figured it could be a newer version than is currently available to all devices in that regard. The current published version is 2.7.008, the one posted is 3.0.026. It could at least have the updated UI, regardless of features.
Google will release Camera v3 for all devices running L and M, since its their first version to use the new Camera2 API. They could do it next week or it could take months, who knows.
If we're lucky, it'll somehow enable the Nexus 6 to do high-speed video recording as well... since as far as i'm aware, the hardware is capable of it, just no software support yet.
And am i the only one who's annoyed that pictures you take STILL look like crap when zoomed in using Google's Photos app?

why do you use the google photos app? i dont use it. i use the aosp gallery . and its working on marshmallow!
You have a link for where to download the latest version? Or is it in the Play Store as well? I've always used the gallery app before, but I've been running stock Marshmallow since it came out. Kinda waiting for the Slim team to get some 6.0 lovin before I switch back to custom roms.
i was waiting for the camera to be ported but from 6P since its the one with slowmo capability, 5X doesnt!
but still good if we can run this one. gonna wait for success results.

You might have to fix the permissions. We also might just be SOL for now.

(If you don't want to wait, I see someone's uploaded v3 right here. There's also a solution on the app store called Solid Explorer. Dev is really great as well as the app, and it works with systemless root.)
Hello. If you're like me, you've been using ES for a really long time. It's a really stable solution, and since I have nothing to do, why not debloat one of the best file managers made?
First off, I removed some unnecessary permissions from "app_permissions_en.txt". Saved the new one as *.txt, and the old one as *.txt.old (* being app_permissions_en). The thing is, I don't know if some of the ones I removed are required for root functionality, so that's why I saved the original one separately. There was a "dxsomething" folder with an image for an ad, so I deleted that.
There's a .txt file name lc.txt, and it has this text in it: "d8JH9lPQkvto1uYe", anyone know what that is? Not bothering with it until I need to.
I'm going to stop here, test if basic file manager functionality works, and I'll get back to this thread.
Edit: yeah I've abandoned this project for various reasons. I haven't really had the time to work on it. sorry to everyone :/
You are doing a nice job mate, upload the debloated file and we can test it, cheers
