Samsung Galaxy S3 JellyBean Stock Apk's Download

So to get the Best of both worlds, I extracted stock APK's from a TouchWiz based Rom and Today I'm going to list most of the stock Samsung apps and will also provide the download link. Make sure that your phone still has a great battery. If you need one consider getting a galaxy battery replacement.

Recently I flashed 'FoxHound' Custom Rom on my Galaxy S3 and was sad to see that my favorite stock apps have been disappeared. I tried very hard to bring them back but no luck. Fortunately I was successful in extracting the apk's from a stock rom and then running them on foxhound custom rom. This time they all worked perfectly.
