[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
PLEASE NOTE: THIS APP IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED AS OF 12/31/2013. FEEL FREE TO CONTINUE USING IT BUT AS IS AND ON YOUR OWN. THANKS.

erikalin - stock app​

No more longing for stock apps that the ROM developer removed as bloatware but you really love...

No more explaining to users how to pull a file out of that stock ROM and push to system...

No more needing to include those extra stock apps you really would rather not keep in your ROM...

One person's bloatware is another person's beloved Yahoo stock widget...

This is a lightweight app that has a simple UI in which users can go get whatever stock apps they want to download from my repo and push back into the custom ROM they are running. The app also has a Help tab that leads to a noob-friendly video help file 2:30 minutes long, which demonstrates how to download any stock ROM apk file from the repo and push it to system/app/, set permissions, and reboot.

INCLUDING THIS APP IN YOUR ROM BUILD

Permission is given for anyone to include this app in a ROM. You do not need to ask me in advance; just let me know. Here is how to do that. If you include this app in a ROM

please do two things for me in return

: (1) Post a link to your ROM here on my app thread to say you have included this app, and (2) Post a link to this thread in your OP with other credits.

Please keep in mind that I cannot provide support other than for the functionality of this app: a stock file repo and basic instructions for how to push apps into the system partition. People should continue to post ROM questions on the appropriate thread for that ROM.

Do not link directly to my file repo or my youtube video that is attached to this app. You can use this app, but please do not use the pieces I have hosted and created for this app. If my traffic log indicates that this is happening, I will have to take the files down.

Keep in mind that I do not monetize on youtube, so view counts mean nothing to me. And I am hosting all files for your use without any ad support. "Click through to the thanks button" is appreciated.

THANKS & CREDIT

credit: kobridge for stock deodexed GB27 ROM, files pulled & used with permission and appreciation.

credit: bigmike6200 for being a faithful tester on build-a-rom, for which this app was made.

This app is signed, so if it is not already baked into the ROM you are using, just click to install like a normal app. Uninstall like a normal app too.
