Upload various APK's - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, I have an aussie galaxy note 3, and it came with a series of quirks that are really annoying me
First, the touchwiz launcher - you cannot edit the bottom row of icons in the dock, they are fixed.
The camera - The autofocus and camera shutter are ridiculously loud and cannot be shut off
The gallery - There is no auto rotate, to rotate to landscape, you must put your phone in landscape mode and then click on an icon to rotate.
Could someone please upload the above apks from their non aussie device? This means I could install them over the top of my existing ones?
Or is there an easier way of doing this? I tried deleting all the sound files in system/media/ui (everything like camerashutter.ogg) and still no success.
Cheers.

You're going to need root to install any of the above apk's or to edit/delete the camera shutter.

You may need to push them to /system/app via adb. Additionally, you might just need to resign them. Sorry I didn't test it beforehand. I just pulled them straight off my N3. I can try it once I get home from work later tonight.

Thanks, much apprecited.

Not sure if Im doing anything wrong.
Mounted apps as r/w
I moved those apks to system/apps
Changed permissions
Still failing.

Use root explorer and drop them in /system/app folder. Fix permissions, and reboot. No need to sign system apps.

Fyi. Don't delete old apk's until you are sure the new ones work. For example, rename systemuiapk to systemui.apk.bak

Thats what I did, maybe the apks the guy uploaded were bad. - I deleted the old apks after making backups with titanium so no issue

A guy on whirlpool said he just flashed another regions firmware, and that let him silence the camera and modify the bar at the bottom.
I don't have mine yet so can't test...
Does anyone know if that would mean the region locking would suddenly apply if i did that?
(Australian models don't have region locking...)

I dunno what to tell you. The apks were pulled straight from my phone which is running this rom

If your phone is N9005 then you did a huge mistake ..
Extract what you want from omega rom.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 2

You got it all wrong guys. Changing the apks won't do sh*t.
You need to remove a few of lines in your others.xml relating to this. I am on Aussie firmware and have done it already.
Search system/csc/others.xml and open with text editor in Root Explorer. I am in a rush now but if you can't locate the lines to remove I will find later for you.
Once deleted save & exit then reboot.
Done and enjoy

Just intalled omega rom, so don't worry about it. May as well post it for others.

Did you follow all of the instructions correctly?
Look In OP in this thread. Pick a camera link. Now once you've done so:
1) Download apk to sd card
2) Use Root Explorer and copy it to system\app
3) Rename existing HTCCamera.apk to HTCCamera.bak
4) Rename the new camera to HTCCamera.apk
5) Long press on new HTCCamera.apk and click permissions
6) Set permissions to Owner RW/Group R/Others R
7) Reboot!
8) Head to settings/applications and clear data from camera (this will fix FFC FC)
As far as widgetsoid, I cannot help you. But there are Quick settings in the notifications bar. Save your phone some space, and delete Widgetsoid.
I got widgetsoid working and the camera I am using is the one that comes with the ROM I dowloaded another but turning off wide screen made it work but mirror is unable to notice it so my best course of action is switch camera's

GenieWidget.apk (News and Weather app)

Over the years I've grown quite fond of the News and Weather app. Unfortunately, it seems that it does not come pre-installed on the Nexus 7 so I figured I would just move it from my Galaxy Nexus to my Nexus 7. Sadly, I cannot seem to get it to work...
What I did:
Copied GenieWidget.apk from my Galaxy Nexus
Moved GenieWidget.apk to my Nexus 7's /system/app directory
Modified the permissions of the .apk to 644
Rebooted
Any ideas?
grab a new apk online
it's working on my nexus 7
and i remember simply opening the apk, not having to put it in system and edit, etc
The new apk? I assumed the apk on my JB Galaxy nexus was the newest. You see, I would really prefer to install the .apk from my phone if at all possible as it hasn't been out of my sight.
Though, if could give me a link to the apk you're referring to I would appreciate it.
On a similar note, I seem to be having the same problem with both BrowserGoogle.apk and CameraGoogle.apk.
Any other ideas...?

Guys i know this might sound dumb but can someone please tell me how do you integrate photos in the system of the phone?
As in i have a few images of another phone which i want to feed it in the phone itself (SO THAT IT DOES NOT APPEAR IN GALARY)
Like the default phone wallpapers. (Where you set a wallpaper from WALLPAPERS and not GALLERY)
And also same with the apps (Such as i want a dictionary to be in the phone even after formatting, i have the apk file but)
Hope you understand what i mean.
Thanks

No sorry. The no media thing is just to prevent it from being in the gallery. I don't know what the default location is but the previous poster stated it's in the system apk. You would havo to repack that with your own wallpapers to make it work I guess.

Yes I also tried this, I did it from a diffent link but the launcher actually runs off the Google search app so it should be the same experience and its great, only thing I don't like is the fact that when I hold down apps to move them on the home screen when in landscape the tablet flips orientation and it is annoying. Everything works in portrait though.

I have a solution for that ,
When you open app in landscape mode , touch the navigation buttons button then pull down the notification bar and lock the auto rotation, it should be stop rotating.

New to all of this custom rom and rooting stuff so please excuse me if some of my questions aren't good.
Do I need to root and use a rom slot to run this or can I just use it as a launcher and still get widgets/wallpapers to work?

Yonly thing I don't like is the fact that when I hold down apps to move them on the home screen when in landscape the tablet flips orientation and it is annoying. Everything works in portrait though.

This is because HDX has a "reverse orientation" compared to most tablets. So what happened is the app rotate to what was "normal" landscape, then autorotate 180 to proper landscape.
There's a patched launcher that implements the reverse orientation that's a part of the HDX Gapps V2 (forgot which topic) but I have a feeling that this may need to be an Xposed module that "patch" the launcher itself.

[HELP] Disable S-VIEW

Hi fellow devs nd members of xda,
I have got problems with my Galaxy S4.. The sview is flashing throughout my screen without any S-Cover or any magnetic material. This happens randomly.. So I need to disable the s-view service and associated files.
I have tried the following :
1. Disable s-view from system settings
2. Renamed and changed permission for system/app/sview service.apk
I heard from another developer to change the value from OPEN to CLOSE in hall_detect file located at sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_key. But I can't write into the file or rename the file.. The only thing I can do is change the permissions, but that doesn't help..
Does anyone have any idea how this sview works. It's become annoying when I play movies or games on my S4..
Many thanks
AJ

After KitKat update I guess! Didn't had this problem in JB. Deleted SecView apk and seems to be fine so far though ?

If you're rooted you could try the xposed modules, there's one in there that disables S-View.
I will edit this post if I find the specifics.

Install Xposed from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Install my module http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/Xposed/DisableSView.apk
It's as close as you can get without disabling the sensor. I didn't hook into the phone so that might still show the S-View window, but that's no biggie. Also, the Smart Stay icon disappears, but hey, that can be a plus

I have tried this method already but didn't work for me.. I have also tried a module known as Magnet Off but nothing worked for me..

Have you ever figured out how to turn off S-view magnet sensor? I have the same problem with a magnetic car mount and it's very annoying.

Well people say just by removing the L1 screw in our phones under the back, the issue gets resolved.
There is one screw name L1 just under our cover.

First Thanks for uploading your files but sadly I think I broke something because I geting only a black screen with statusbar at the top even when I paste in your files back in and this happens since I accidentally delete my. (before that black screen with time, date and so on)
I found no process or app or autostart that contains "s view" or something like that. How did find it and how was it named ?

Okay I understand. My problem is I can't find it (screenshot) there mainly I broke it somehow but do you know if there is any way to install a app back into touchwiz framework because when I try to install that apk it fails.

You saved my ass, thanks for that. After getting root and so on I tried to follow your instructions. The App was there and I stopped it but needed only one tap (clicked once ->Force Stop) and then stick it on the phone holder but again the S View Cover Screen comes on (with time/date and status bar). I have no clue what to do now because I can't deactivate the app even.
EDIT: When I deactivate the app per third party app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org) the black screen comes on without time and date. So there is any other process that start when a magnet comes close to the S4 ?

Does your dock have something magnetic??
A magnet triggers that stupid sview.
Use any custom rom that doesnot have sview. It shall get solved.

Yes, of course the holder has magnets too so yeah I know its triggering that view but I thought that view could be fully disabled without a custom rom.
A custom rom is no solve for me right now.
The Question would be how the S View got removed in the roms then I could do the same for my stock rom.
Found out that the Hall Sensor triggers that but found nothing to disable or something like that.
