I'd like to install the Epics stock calendar app on my EVO... Seems much nicer than the HTC stock...
Tried looking for an APK with no luck so I'm hoping someone might know if one is floating around...
Thanks
Hey all...thanks for looking and possibly answering. Heres my question. The one and only thing I do not like about my Evo is the contacts app. and the dialer. I came over from the iphone and the best thing on it was the combination of the dialer and the contacts, call log and favorites all within one application. I was at best buy and noticed that on a Samsung fascinate the STOCK contacts app is exactly what I have been missing. I found a couple stock apk files for a samsung moment and fascinate from another forum and tried to install on my evo and they would not install. So..guess what my question is...why wont they install? Are they locked so you cant install on different phones? If yes...is there a way around this. Or simply...how do I get the stock contacts apk from a samsung to my Htc evo?
My Evo is rooted
PS...I have spent countless hours searching for this type of contacts app that has everything I want in the market..it does not exist, so please please dont reply look in the market for something similar. I am looking to put this exact stock samsung app on my Evo.
Thanks everyone!
Most of the time these "stock" apps are odexed files, I would suggest getting the system.img file from the phone/rom that has the dialer app you want and extract the odex file AND the apk file for the dialer then run it through an apk deodex script(I'm on a MacBook), then try to install it. Not promising this will work, but give it a shot and if it doesn't pan out politely ask a dev if they can port it, XDA is full of helpful and willing devs, as long as you aren't an ass about it like some people are, let me know if this helps!

+1..... I'd like to see this ported over. I had a Samsung Captivate and I miss my contacts app much better than what I have on Evo.

Anyone had luck on this? I just upgraded to s5 from s2 and want the stock memo widget from s2 installed onto the s5 as the s5 widget can't go smaller than 4x1.
You might have better luck asking in the Samsung forums. The most recent post prior to yours was over three years ago and it doesn't seem that anyone has an answer, that, and the OP was looking for a way to use an app from a non-HTC device on a HTC phone.

I really enjoyed the note widget that came with Sense, but now I'm on the Kingdom Rom which didn't come with it. I searched around the market and the closest one I could find was Whiteboard, but it doesn't let me draw directly on the home screen. Any ideas?
Add Widget>Get More HTC Widgets>Notes.
Edit: Didnt See That You Tried It Already.
Is it possible that we can install the apk from a stock sense rom?
I used the task widget one and now I am forgetting stuff. lol. My phone runs my life.
Yeah I went through the HTC Hub and I only found the Word of the Day, Daily Challenge, and Fortune Cookie. I do enjoy the Daily Challenge, but I still miss my HTC Notes
I was wondering that as well. Unfortunately, I don't have the skillset to try to extract the widget from an earlier version of Sense.
I'm currently using the 1.2m version of kushdeck's Gingerbread-Evo-Deck ROM.
My question is, where is the Calendar, News, Calculator, Weather, and Home Clock Widgets at?
Did I install something wrong, or were those removed as part of helping the battery life or cutting down unneeded apps by the developer?
And another quick question, whenever there's an update for kushdeck's ROM, do I just install the ROM as I did the first time, or is there an update path, and would I have to reset my phone to factory settings, delete cache, etc. before installing?
Another question, since my phone is rooted, how do I allow my phone to act as a hotspot? Is there a certain ROM or App I need, or is there already a built-in function I'm overlooking?
Your help is much appreciated!

Since it isn't a "sense" rom, and a aosp rom, you wont have the regular clock, Calender, etc Widgets. You will have to find alternatives from the market.
And to update to the newest version, as of now with it being 1.2x all you have to do is wipe dalvik/cache. Now if he puts out a update like 2.0 then a full wipe will be recommended. And lastly, for the hotspots feature, get wifi tether for free from the market

Ah, much appreciated.
I wonder if "sense" ROM's would be recommended over AOSP, but I kind of like how it's empty.
Just miss those lovely widgets! :/
Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to check out market for wifi tethering.

There's no 3G/4G Tethering?

Preference really of sense or aosp I stayed on sense for a while, tried cm7, now decks, and I don't think ill go back anytime soon. And if you really miss the sense clock, try beautiful Widgets in the market, you can theme and skin it to look almost exactly like the sense clock. And yes for 3/4g the wifi works with both, just flip on 4g and hit the start tethering button. I'm mobile right now but look in the general section for "wifi tether and aosp roms" if you can't get it to work and it has directions on how to get it working

Beautiful Widgets is nice, but idk if it's really worth the $$$ since it doesn't have Calendar or Calculator too... But I may try it out, thanks!
I'm curious, there's no ROM's that provide individual Sense Widgets?
I installed the "Wireless Tether for Root Users" by Muller, Lemons, Buxton, and it says, "This application requires a 'rooted'-device and a (custom-) kernel which supports netfilter (iptables)!"
Question is, do I already have this "custom kernel" when I rooted my phone, or where can I get it from and how do I install?
Wifi tether is already built into decks roms. Settings>wireless&networks>portable hotspots>wireless tether. That should get you going.
Thanks is always good

I use fancy widget pro and it feels and almost looks like a sense based clock with weather. It has like 5 customized sizes and presets. I generally use fancy widget home its the the full clock with the weather similar to sense.
This widget will also work with both gingerbread and sense so no need to worry if you convert back and like the widget.
Recently got an Epic 4G Touch, still running the stock Gingerbread ROM in anticipation of an ICS OTA coming soon.
In the meantime, though...did anyone ever find a way to get a gmail widget onto Gingerbread? I know one was added in Honeycomb, so I presume it's in ICS as well. Since people seem to rip stuff from other phones and ROMs all the time, I'm curious if anyone ever managed to grab a working gmail widget. The stock email and widget kinda suck.
My understanding is that there's something in the gingerbread Gmail code that stops it. Killed tons of custom wigdets
