AOSP Browser in a Sense Build?

Hey all, I'm currently on DamageControl 2.06 (thanks damage!) and I've been pushing in AOSP apks from Darchdroid/Darchvanilla (thanks Darch!) via root explorer. AOSP Mms, phone, contacts, email, music etc all work, but I cannot get the AOSP browser replace the HTC browser. Are there dependencies that the AOSP browser needs that DC doesn't have? ...Darchvanilla is Sense-based, so maybe I'm missing something. (Also, I dont have commandline access, so will it be possible to get the browser running just through root explorer?)

Works perfectly, thanks man! And thanks for the awesome roms!

Best way to replace sense apps with AOSP apps.
Find the AOSP apps from a CM6 build by unzipping and pulling the .apk file like browser.apk. Install "File Expert" (Free and amazing file browser with full root access and alteration capablilities application)
Copy the .apk you wish to have on to your phones SD Card
Run File Expert,
hit menu/more/File Explorer settings. Then check "Root Explorer" on the bottom.
hit menu/more/mount/Mount As Read Write
Browse to /System/Apps Find the App you wish to replace with the AOSP version.
Hold Down on the App and when the options come up choose file operations and rename to something like application name.apk.bak
Browse to your SD Card find your app. hold down to choose file operation then choose copy.
Go back to /System/Apps then hit Menu button and choose paste.
Locate the app you just pasted and hold down on it and in file operations choose "permissions" Check Everything and exit out of File Expert
Note: You may need to redo the shortcuts for the app on your desktop and or launcher.
Note: Must have a rooted phone.
Note: 2.3.3 apps may or may not work on 2.2 Android Roms and vise versa.
Note: if this causes errors or failures delete the new apk and rename the old apk to its orginal name.
Good luck!!

Can't find Android Keyboard (AOSP) .apk anywhere.

Since I got my OnePlus 2 on the day of release the Google Keyboard that comes with Oxygen OS botheres me a lot since it only has the long-press key feature on the number-row.
(I cannot longpress e.g. "m" to write "?" or whatever)
The Android Keyborad (AOSP) that comes with cyanogenmod which is on my "old" Oppo Find 7 has this feature.
So I was looking around for an .apk on the Playstore, Aptoide, F-Droid & the internet in general via search engine.
I could not find a single .apk file only fake sites, like this app doesn't even exist even though it's so essential and better than the Google Keyboard & also obviously supported by CM.
I found some forum posts about how it was in the playstore but the Google ID
Code:
com.android.inputmethod.latin
is not available any longer.
It's not even in the repo of f-droid
Code:
https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/com.android.inputmethod.latin
.
How can this be?
Am I missing somehting ridiculously obvious here?

Here you go, pulled directly from a CM ROM. Just download and extract. Try to install it normally and if that doesn't work then try copying it over the the system/app folder. Make sure you set the proper permission for the folder and .apk file inside.

This is from the manifest found inside that apk file
package="com.android.inputmethod.latin"

Thank you!
This is exactly what I needed..
I have just a few issues:
- Normal installation doesn't work.
- I'd unzip and put the folder in system/app & restarted which installed the app but when I try to choose the Android Keyboard it crashes and I have no keyboard at all..
so yeah..
[EDIT]: Yes, the folder and .apk do have the right permissions
[Edit 2]: nvm I installed Cyanide L 12.1 which has the AOSP keyboard by default

Smart Manager with Application Permission from Note 5

This is for those who wanted to have this function in their beast and yet no Note 5 rom is availble for their device , well smile..here you go
:good:Try at your own risk. I wont go in detail like step by step or what root explorer to use. You will have to figure it out. Im not trying to be mean but you will have to learn it =P
Your device must be rooted.
Download any rom that is made for Note 5 , custom or stock (make sure you ask for permission from the creator) , extract the folder "system/app/applicationspermissions"
and copy the folder (doesnt matter if is odex or deodexed) then paste it to your system/app/ and set the permission to the copied folder and the apk itself.
Then add the code below into your others.xml in you csc folder.
Code:
<!-- Smart Manager -->
<CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigDashboard>dual_dashboard</CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigDashboard>
<CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>true </CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>
<CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigSubFeatures>roguepopup|autoclean|autorestart</CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigSubFeatures>
Save , reboot and voila.
Bug
Nofitications - Block app notifications will FC.
Application Permissions - Sort by permission , will take some times to load the apps.
And it works , it does block what it offered.
Feel free to use

Thank you but nowhere i could got this foleder
system/app/applicationspermissions
can you please upload it.
Thanks in advance

Experience flow 2 live wallpaper

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has made a swipe sensitive wallpaper like the one on Xperia z5 for redmi 2? I've been searching the whole Internet and all I can find is the Xperia z2 wallpaper. I'm surprised no one has even made anything close to the Xperia live wallpapers, cos I really like the experience flow or cosmic flow wallpapers. The only ones I can find are wallpapers that sparkle on touch but they don't move when swiped(by "move when swiped" I don't mean scrolling wallpapers). I hope someone will bring the z5 wallpaper to other phones soon

Si

@Newbdroidd So, first things first - Wallpapers dont need to be custom made for all devices. If you can fool the original apk into believing it's installed exactly 'where it should be', then it should be no problem getting it to work normally.
Now, the drill
Q1. Are you rooted, buddy?
If yes, Q2. Are you on Stock MIUI ROM, CM or which one?
If AOSP-based (CM/Bliss/AICP etc.), proceed further and follow these steps --
(You can try them on MIUI as well, I'm not sure if they'll work or corrupt your MIUI installation (So make sure to make a Recovery backup if doing this on stock ROM.) )
now the steps --
00. Download the file: http://d-h.st/zUJR
0. Inside you'll find the apk.
1. Try installing normally, then reboot. If it works, great,, and if doesn't proceed as below -
2. Install 'Root Explorer' from play store. Open it, grant root permission when asked, and then go to the folder '/system/priv-app/' .... create a folder named 'Experience Flow 2 Live Wallpaper' ... long press the folder, and set permissions as 'rwxr-xr-x' (0755).
3. Inside, copy paste that apk file from the link, rename it to 'Experience Flow 2 Live Wallpaper.apk' (as inside quotes, no changes) ... set permission to 'rw-r--r--' (0644) and reboot.
4. Try setting it as Live Wallpaper now. It should work.
5. DO make sure to revert here if it worked or not!
All the best!

Hi thanks for replying... I'm rooted and i'm using Temasek CM13 on my redmi 2. First i tried installing the apk normally but it says problem parsing the package. Then I followed all the steps you listed except that i used root browser instead of root explorer cos root explorer isn't free. Rebooted but it doesn't show up on the list of live wallpapers

OH waiit i forgot to rename the apk.. Trying again now hopefully it works

Renamed it but it still doesn't work D:

Shocking

Well... I've used both Kumajaya CM13 and am currently on Blisspop ROM CM13. I've used this method successfully on both these ROMs. I'm currently having it set as my wallpaper as well.
P.S: But I suppose the source of the file I've used in my case is different from this.
Okay, just wait till morning, I might be able to upload that file here if the internet speed favors me.
Then you just have to repeat the procedure with the new apk.
Please make sure to restore from the backup you created, or fully remove and uninstall the apk used earlier for this method to work.

@shanx_verma
Here's a vid of my phones folders just in case i did something wrong. How do u like the blisspop rom? I like res remix the best but it had a few bugs so i switch to my current one

There are lots of touchwiz zips around the forum. Get one and extract the music player from there.
Or simply download one from the play store.

Then either wait until somebody decided to post you the apk
Or
You can extract it yourself, which may be faster.
Good luck.

Its ok Btw thnks fr help

@ankrishx18 if you have that tar.md5 rom stored on your phone or memory card temporarily delete the last part of the file extension so it's just romsname.tar instead of romsname.tar.md5
from there you'll be able to open it with zarchiver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver
and then extract/copy the apk from /system/apps/
you'll need to be rooted though in order to paste it into your own /system/apps/ folder and change it's permissions to 644 aka rw_ r__ r__ and then reboot.
if you have it on your PC you could try renaming it romsname.zip but I don't know if that will work (never tried it). don't forget to put it back to what it should be after

@3mel I just found this inside in system.img which was present in "rom.tar.md5"
when i try to open system.img with pc it gives me an error "The disc image file is corrupted"
and no system apps is visible inside this img

my bad I forgot that it's not like a zip would be inside.
there are 2 tools you need to open roms on PC and that's something I don't do so I can't remember the name of them. I'll see if I can hunt down the apk for you instead, but as I don't know what the original file size it should be this could be dodgy...
are you rooted ? and what version are you on ? I'll see about downloading a small custom touchwiz rom and extracting it from there for you if nobody else jumps in to help.
having trouble using the attachments here...
uploading this one stupid file took me 3 times longer than downloading the 1.1gb rom
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5rzfbgt3vuv9iia/SMusic.zip?dl=0 here is a zip file to the SMusic.apk file taken from a i9500 lollipop 5.1.1 rom that can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop/rom-98-5-1-1-based-ale95-v2-t3304828
you need root to put this back into /system/priv-app/
permission will probably be 644 aka rw_ r__ r__ you'll need a root capable file browser to paste it and change the permissions. if pasting doesn't work you might need to mount system first which you can do with the terminal emulator app.
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
if needed this will let you paste into the system folder. just press enter after each line then use the file browser
reboot afterwards and test. if that doesn't work the mod you tried may have changed some library files.
