Any stock ROM mods?

Just wondering if there was any stock ROM mods? Like power control? Themeing?

As far as I can tell the best you can do with a Stock ROM is add small things like widgetsoid notification widgets or download themes for launchers. However, if you have senseHD you could download sense skins.

Thats kind of a oxymoron stock mod? Do you mean what can you do without root? Every rom is a modified stock rom. They are just all different degrees of modification. What do you want to do is the real question.

Like can I metamorph the stock rom? How would I remove apps I do not need?

sure you can, but you have to be rooted. you can mess with any rom if you have the capability to edit the files you need to edit, but in order to do so, you need root access.

[Q] Bypass exchange security

Hello people of the XDA.
Does anyone have the stock sammy mail apk where exchange pin can be bypassed? Anyone kind to share?
Im on rooted stock odexed rom using at gt-i9505 euro version.
Thanks in advance!

Just use Touchdown from the Play Store. It keeps your exchange security in the app and not the device.

I've got the same thing! I tried touchdown and it's not working, any other way?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but I would like to keep on using the stock app, as i like it. I know some of the custom roms have it, but dont know which files to replace unfortunately....

I would also like to know how to bypass this option. I've installed Touchdown and it's working for me, but I think that the Email apk of the S4 looks better and is more clearer.

Make sure to backup your stock SecEmail and SecExchange apks. Flashable zip of my stock apks
This depends on what rom base you're using but I have a couple options for you.
This thread gives you instructions on how to patch
Or you can download my patched apks Here as an easily flashable zip. Note, this will only work on Galaxy S4 TouchWiz Based Roms.

Try enhanced mail from play store.

I'm running rooted default S4 touchwiz rom, if a I simply flash your zip via CWM will that work?
Thanks!

(Q) Any mod for "no auto converting messages to mms"?

Hi guys, i was wondering if theres a mod available for Stock 4.2.2 jb that stops longs sms to convert into mms? I previously had it built in on the neat rom on my s2.
I am aware of the big sms app, but ideally would like a flashable zip or modified stock messaging app that would do the job? Please help, i searched the threads, no luck.Thanks.
I am on stock 4.2.2 with root and cwm recovery.

Best solution is xposed framework. There is a module which does this.

[Q] Replace stock dialer with KitKat's?

Hi all I've been thinking of replacing the stock dialer with the I've from KitKat specifically from the Google play edition rom for the S4. Has anyone tired this yet and would it be better to use the one from cyanogenmod 10.2? I'm currently using stock MJA rooted with the latest KT kernel.
THANKS Y'ALL

Couldn't I replace the SecPhone apk with the one from KitKat?

I would love this! I have the dialer on the S4. It would also be really cool to get the HTC dialer on there.

4.4 vs 4.3..... Touch wiz vs aosp. I wouldn't think so without modifying

I did manage to replacethe stock email app with the one from Cyanogenmod 10.2 just by deleting SecEmail.apk and SecExchange.apk with the email and exchange apks from cyanogenmod would replacing the dialer be that different?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

That's because the email is universal like a play store apk. But the dialer is specific to 4.4 aosp. Doubt it will work as I said. Make a backup and try.

Use 4.4.2 Stock Recovery to Flash Zips

Hi,
Is it possible to use the stock recovery to Flash zips? Alternatively will using the app Flashify to Flash the zips cause any issues? This is for a D802 on 4.4.2.
Thanks

From what I remember, the stock recovery doesn't have that function.

Ditto

Stock only flashes signed zips. Like official ota and such.
Flashify to flash, well all depends what it is. U can flash recoveries safely but not stuff that is in operation. Some, maybe like sound mods that require reboot.
