Since we have root, is there some way someone could modify the stock reader.apk so that we can have folders so we can have some organization to it?
Idk how feasible this is but it just bugs me so much that there are no folders.
Thoughts?
The stock reader does have "folders" of sorts—have you looked at the "Bookshelves" feature?

I liked some of the old programs from the original HC 3.1 with no TW interface for example the calendar most importantly, the old email app and the movie studio app. is there a guide on how to repackage and replace these in the touchwiz. I also don't like the touchwiz music app I'd rather use google's new music beta with cloud sync.
If there's a guide on how I'd really appreciate it...if not the only thing I ask for is the calendar.apk I really miss the column week view and this is sort of crucial to my work and seeing what hours I have open during the week. I havn't found a good one with a good column view and good integration to google on the market.
thanks
You should be able to just take the apk's and any required libs (probably not needed) and place them in your system folder and change the permissions to match that of the rest of the system apps using root explorer our something similar. You could get the apk's and files from any rom, like stock or bonsai. You can download music beta from the market instead of the samsung music app. Although you will probably want to de-odex the file system first...not sure if anyone had done it for TW yet.

Tried that stuff it doesn't seem to work, I'm sticking to stock for now!
Hi there, I'm planning on changing my icons here and there and since the apkreplacer in the zip crap doesn't seem to function for me I thought I'd just modify the apk files but I remember reading before that before sent again, they need to be signed.
What is everyone's best recommendation for doing this? What's the best and safest way to push them back to phone? I want to replace 1 icon each on those 3 files.
No one really knows whether these files should be signed or not?
Use apk manager .its useful for all your needs including signing.search for it in xda.

Thanks but what about sending the files back? Do I need to set any permissions for them or I just send them normally like I do with framework-res.apk and all those.
I don't know how it happened, but it appears that I have somehow changed the path that contains the ringtones. I was looking for them out of curiosity. Now, whenever I try to bring up ringtones, I get a directory listing of /storage/emulated/0. I can probably reset it properly, but I don't know they actually reside. I don't have root access, and I'm afraid that may be a problem in resetting the path. I'm thinking that's why a search with ES File Explorer can't find them, (or maybe I'm not searching for the correct extension). Can anyone offer any guidance?
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Regards,

Can't help you without root access. The correct path is:
/system/media/audio/ringtones
Edit* In doing some looking. Were you trying to add more ringtones? The folder you gave seems to be the downloads folder. Ringtones you add maybe be in another folder. For example it could be ...../emulated/ringtones
Another example would be any folder in your usable internal storage will come after the emulated/

Hello guys, i figured that when i bought my S4, that have like 10 folders in the "/" folder. but now i see some others folders like, data_1, data_2 and some others, there is a way to clean stock folders, or someone that gimme the stock folder structure for delete the others? Idk why, if its ROM or another App that creates it...
Thanks guy!
Was running stang5litre's S7 ROM for a good long while but kept having issues. Figured I'd backup, then go back to stock to see if I can handle not rooting/ROM'ing. So far I'm cool with it - BUT - I use QuickPic as my picture Gallery. Well... upon coming back to stock, the folders I had in QuickPic, where I had a good amount of pictures I wanted to keep, the folders were gone*. Hence, my pix appear to be gone.
SO. The questions are: has anyone seen that before with QP and know of a fix for it? Maybe it just turned those folders into hidden folders or something? Two: is there a way to extract from a FlashFire backup those picture files?
Appreciate any help,
Steve
*and absolutely shame on me for not keeping a copy of them in the cloud
Mine was actually the other way around. I was missing pictures and quick pic found them when the stock gallery couldnt. That's also when I started regularly backing up to the cloud too.

If you did a full FlashFire backup including internal storage, then you should be able to restore it, but you'll need to be rooted. You could root and restore internal storage, then make copies on your PC/cloud/SDcard/ect, and finally flash back to stock. This will only work if you backed up internal storage, which is selected by default.
Yeah, I was really hoping there's be something like 7zip I could use to easily extract the images instead of going through that entire rigamarole. <sigh>
