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

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751827
/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

[Q] Cyanogenmod live wallpaper .apk file

Hello there
Well maybe it's just because i'm still a noob on the android scene, but i've been going around for a while looking for the blue nexus style cm live wallpaper apk, but no luck.
I also tried to find it in the CM zip file but being a newbie i didn't know where to look so i probably missed it (can't find it under system/apps).
I wanted to install it on other roms, so i was wondering if some of you guys would be so kind to help me to find it, or simply upload it right here, so that i can install it or flash it.
Sorry for the dumb question, and thanks in advance

Its just the livewallpaper.apk from any CM6 nightly you youre after uninstall your current one with rootexplorer (if you have s-off) in system/app, or delete from too your rom before you wipe your phone and install it.

Thx for the tip, but i actually found another way right now: i just removed livewallpapers.apk from system/apps with root explorer, then i installed the livewallpapers.apk from CM and it worked...shame on me i couldn't figure that out before. Anyway, i also tried to replace the system livewallpapers.apk with the CM one (with root explorer), but that didn't work, can't figure out why lol.

Finally.. New Market Worked - CyanogenMod Milestone

Just want to share with you guys..
I finally get the new market to work (no fc anymore) by coincidence, after flashing the new update of cyan for milestone..
Here's what ive done,
first of all, i backup the old market (mine was v1.8) using titanium..
and then i insert the new market to the "gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip" file, by replacing the old market/vending.apk
after flashing cyan, then i flash the gapps file that have been modified before.. the installation worked great..
after that, i tried it.. it's fc as usual.. then when i was going to revert it back to the old market using titanium, theres only data only, i tried that..
amazingly, it the new market worked.. i dont know how, but it worked..
im now downloading apps from the market.. well i hope it'll work for you also..
and so sorry for my bad english.. thx..

This one came from FroyoMOD 2.2.0 but the same ****ing FC

[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

I did have it replaced in /system/app + permissions changed, but it doesn't work for me either.

I don't know how to solve ur problem here.. I thought its a problem of Z3 Backup and restore app.
eXistenZ using Z3 Backup and restore app. Better remove that and install stock backup and restore app then try. I think it should work..
