Hi
Been trying to get the CM browser onto the stock rom (rooted) for a nexus 7 for my dad because he wants a home button (long story!!!!)
Anyway, when I started to try and sort it for him I tried various way having extracted the apk from CM 10.2. I have tried just installing it directly. Crashes!. I have tried installing the stock browser and then copying the apk after deleting into systems apps with same result.
Is it a simple thing that I am not doing or is it something not that straightforward.
Have tried it on my Nexus 4 too with the same result.
All this just for the sake of a home button on a browser :silly:
Any help or advice gratefully received.

Hi all
Relative newbie here with incredibly frustrating issue that has wasted many of my hours recently!
I saw this a thread about getting sky go (a UK video streaming service) working on a nexus 10 by spoofing build prop to think it's a nexus 7http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045403
I flashed stock rom from Leapinlar's great thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2062613) then rooted with very green's equally great zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2437575).
Used device spoofer to switch build prop to nexus 7 and hey presto, skygo appears in play store - whoopee!
The problems come when I look to remove root - I used supersu to perform full uproot, reboot, clear cache, factory reset etc but whatever I try, skygo still gives me an error message saying my device is rooted.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this despite full unroot? Could it be the fact that the above process leaves me with cyanogenboot / non stock recovery? If so is there any way of rooting and spoofing whilst maintaining stock boot/recovery?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Mike

Hey Everyone, I just flashed the Extreme Syndicate L v5 (DEODEXED/THEME STARTED) rom last night on my verizon galaxy S5 and everything was working well until I made a mistake. I noticed that there were two battery icons so I force uninstalled 3minit... I did not know that this was also the ui. So now when the rom loads it keeps popping an error saying "Unfortunatley, System UI has stopped". I had safestrap installed before the flash and did a backup but now I only have access to Recovery and Download mode.
My question is, would it be safe to flash extreme syndicate using odin? Is there another way to just push the ui apk using android studio/cli? I've done a bunch of searching already but since I'm new to Android SDK I don't really know what I'm looking for and need some direction. I'm guessing I can't do a restore from my backed up files because safestrap was removed.
Any help or direction would be would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I was able to access safestrap again after Reverting back to NK2 Kernal this issue is resolved.
I prefer Google stock apps over Samsung apps. I'm on the latest stock Lollipop for the Sprint Galaxy S4 and rooted. I've tried 3-different apk files and none will install. I've tried copying them to /system/priv-apps and setting permissions to 644. 2 don't even show up, and 1 that shows up force closes immediately. Anyone know of one that works, or a way to make one work?
I would prefer to stay on stock ROM.
Hello everyone.
I locked some files back when I was not rooted and on stock rom, then I rooted by phone using a resurrection remix.
Since I am not on LG framework anymore, I can't use LG Gallery app as far as I know.
It lets me install directly or through adb, but I still can't get it to work.
I even tried installing it as a system app, but still no luck.
Does anyone know how to use LG stock apps without lg framework?
Have you tried to use APK Editor from the playstore? There are threads on how it works, but you're basically opening the APK with the app, hitting a "manifest" then saving, then installing without actually editing anything. For most of the stock apps it works, esp Gallery and Music. Let me know if you have trouble getting it to work--I'm not familiar with that ROM, but I'll try to help.
Wish I could help but Google Photos and FOTO are the best gallery apps anyway imo
Okay i have rooted s8 and running costum rom but i have problems with google apps. If i try to download something from playstore i get different errors like (490,491,403,505 and more) when im using chrome i get ssl errors. And other google apps like youtube is giving me network errors all the time.
Things i have tried : cleaning Google Play services Cache, removing and re-adding google accounts. deleting hosts. file with root explorer. Cleaning cache in twrp. Re-flashing gapps. Re installing stock rom- with odin and smart switch (but stock rom crashes and reboots all time so im unable to use it) I also have tried all costum roms.
Pls i really need help

Hard to believe the stock rom keeps on crashing just because you rooted, some samsung apps might not work but that's about it. Which roms did you try? Did you try flashing/wiping through twrp rather than odin?
.
Stock rom keeps crashing and rebooting. i did flash stock rom with odin and i tried smart switch too. i have tried all costum s8 roms and flashed them via twrp, i always did a full wipe. Running renovate ice 2.0 atm but having problems with google apps.
Please i still need help
Not too sure but i think i have some hardware problem, if i try recovery via odin my phone updates to 32% and then says erasing... and then it boots but everything crashes. Im able to use costum roms but i still get some crashes and google apps are not working well.
