Using CyanogenMod’s Apps on Official ROM

Ever since I switched back from using CyanogenMod ROM to the official ROM (due to modem problems), I missed some of the custom apps. It turns out to be really easy to install those apps. You just need to download CyanogenMod and extract the relevant APKs from system/app/ and copy them over to the phone. To install them, you’ll need to enable installation of apps from unknown sources in Settings->Security. It’s best to get a CyanogenMod version that corresponds to your ROM’s version, but I successfully installed apps from newer CyanogenMod releases as well.

  1. I use CM on pretty much all of my android devices currently, but have been thinking of taking my wife’s phone back to stock. Thanks for the tips!

  2. I thought you would like to know you misspelled the word “official” as “offical” on your website. Silly mistakes are a pet peeve of mine and they can ruin your website credibility. In the past I’ve used a tool like spellscanner.com to keep mistake off my website.
