Hi all,
I just had two questions relating to the Galaxy Nexus which I bought a couple of days ago
1. When I receive a text or email, on my old Galaxys S2 it used to have a number next to the icon. For example if two people had text me, the number two would show up next to the text message icon informing me. This doesn't appear to be happening on my Galaxy Nexus. Is that normal?
2. One of my favourite widgets on the Galaxy S2 was the Mini Paper widget. I've got the .APK for it, but it doesn't seem to install on the Galaxy Nexus. Does anyone know how this widget can be installed?
Hope someone can help me out
1. That is part of touchwiz, the Samsung equivalent of Sense on HTC devices. The Galaxy Nexus is a pure Google experience device, but you can find widgets on the Android Market that will give you badges for SMS/Email.
2. That APK might need the touchwiz framework to work, no idea though.

Thanks for the reply ZeroBarrier.
Regarding the first question, I just wanted to make sure that this was universal to all Galaxy Nexus' and not just mine LOL. Strange how this feature doesn't exist though as I thought it was very useful on my S2.
Regarding the second question, if anyone does know how to get the Mini Paper widget working on the Nexus Galaxy, please let me know
Regarding the Mini Paper widget, have you tried ColorNotes from the market? Not EXACTLY the same but gets the job done

I've tried ColorNotes but didn't really like it to be honest mate. The S2's Mini Paper
I feel is the best quick note taking widget out there. Everytime I try installing it, the process just fails
Surely there must be a way to make it work? It's only a small widget LOL

You need the touchwiz framework.

So it's not possible at all then to get this widget ported over to the Nexus?
I heard somewhere that Touchwiz widgets require the Touchwiz framework.
*cough*
The same goes for Sense widgets, Blur widgets, and any other manufacturer-UI widgets.

whoa....I want that also....the gingerbread one though, way better than the samsung one
I hate the Samsung keyboards, as the comma is hidden!
Why on earth would they make it so difficult to use a comma?
Try Swype, you'll love it after a while!
the Samsung keyboard uses some classes from touch wiz, so I am not sure how easy it will be to export it to galaxy s..
I have attached a ZIP file, including, the keyboard APK and ODEX, and the touch wiz framework JAR.
although I think that you will need to dex the odex file intigrate it with the APK, and probably also need some of the framework classes from touchwiz JAR..
I am not sure if I can help you any further with this, but I can atleast give it a try if you have any questions..
I don't use touchwizz, i use a blue gingerbread launcher, can i install the galaxy SII keyboard?
i see people downloaded it, does it work??

It is not important that you use another launcher, it is important whether or not you have installed another ROM on your device.
even though you have installed another launcher, TouchWiz is still running in the background..
I dont have an Galaxy S(1), so I can't directly help you achieve your goal,
I can try to edit the APK file, and include the classes that it needs, but you will have to try it on your phone, without I have tested it first. (it shouldn't be necessary to be root)
but first of, someone have downloaded the files, so maybe someone can reply if it worked or not..

I have changed some of the settings on the original Samsung Keyboard for Galaxy SII
now it shows a comma, instead of dot.
and I just use double space to make a dot.
I have the files to get it working on a galaxy S2, not sure if they will work on any other devices, and you need to be root.

Nice! But I would like the comma on the left side of the space, and the dot (punctuation mark) on the right side So I'm sticking with Steven Lin's Gingerbread Keyboard for now.

Is there a download link available? It has been included in a few roms, but i can't find a apk or zip type of file anywhere.
I like the clock app from my "old" SGS2.
It has alarm, world clock, stop watch and timer in one app.
Does anyone know if i have a chance to get it running on my Galaxy Nexus? Or does it require Touchwiz?
I tried copying ClockPackage.apk from an SGS2 ROM and an Galaxy Note ROM (because this one should be optimized for Galaxy Nexus resolution) to /system/app/ and match permissions. Also tried clearing cache and dalvik cache und remove the original DeskClockGoogle.apk.
Unfortunately Samsung Clock App does not appear in the app drawer.
I'm using Pauls deodexed Ir4 ROM.
Any ideas?
If Devs wants to check, here are the apks:

hopefully can see this apk soon...

Yeah, maybe it requeires Touchwiz. But if this would be case shouldn't it at least appear in the app drawer?
Would be nice if a Dev could have a look at the apks and tell us if it really need Touchwiz or not.
Has anyone else tried to get it running?
Yes, I would love to see that clock too! It reminds me one I had on HTC phone (part of Sense).
Now I have to use separate stopwatch when boiling eggs which is not great.
It's amazing there is no all in one clock app in the Market yet, like the one we had on SGS2 phones.
i can already tell you it is indeed TouchWiz dependent.
and i agree, Google needs to do more work on their widgets, specifically the clock. there should be a copious amount of options imo, including digital, font/color changing, as well as a timer, stopwatch and world clock.
still lots of stuff they can add. they're getting there, just slowly
Very bad news, but thanks for clearing it up, mrvirginia.
If someone can modify it to work without TW or knows a similar app, please let me know.
Would like to see it too. Clean and simply GUI with all things necessary! Nearly
I love that clock, specially the smart alarm that gently wakes me up. I would like to have it working on CM9. I'm trying and if I get it I'll let u know. But if someone achieve this pls let us know!!
Google should even link the calendar and tasks in someway to the clock when setting alarms. But at least a smart alarm with nice sounds and widget with custom options at least to contrast background.
There is a new effort to port touchwiz to ICS. I am trying to determine how to get the clockpackage.apk to install on it. I am using a captivate rom with the port backed in.

Yeah, the clock on my SGS2 was just great. I've had to roll with multiple other apps just to take the place of that original clock
I also miss my day/night/weather Wind Mill live wallpaper.that was the best.

Hey!
I like Supernote and S-Note on Samsung-Devices, its a smart and fast way to memo or write something.
It's possible that Supernote and SNote works well on the Nexus 7?
Is somewhere working on Nexus 7-versions of Supernote and SNote?
Thanks and a nice evening. :good:
Hi,
that would be very nice. I hope, anybody is able, to port this App to the Nexus 7
Tim
Would presume that apps like that will need the touchwiz framework for it to run.
So I think that only a full touchwiz port will work.
hm, okay. I hope, it will run without...
Tim
use supernote from asus transforrmer
i upload 2 versions,try them all

Does it support mathematic funktions, like the SNote?
i don't think,but you can try and delete if you don't like
OK, first I try it in my DesireHD, because, I get my Nexus at the end of the month I will report, if that works, or not
Tim
It would be soo great if somebody could bring the SNote on the Nexus7.
I have tested Supernote. But this app has no math plugin.
i don't think of.surely it requires tw frameworks and dependencies,but also if a working port of touchwiz is available,inside that i didn't find anything related to spen..if it was possible,i think users like madphone could already done that..but it isn't so..!
but why does it needs Touchwiz? I think, Touchwiz is the UI of Samsungdevices. I hope, anybody can explain that

Because Samsung makes great hardware but their software division likes to make things as complicated as possible so they are more in control of their builds then the user is.. Samsungs stupid qmg boot animation format is a perfect example.

Touchwiz is more than the ui, it encompasses all the internal OS changes as well. For example, you can't just rip out the "Pop up Play" feature out of the Galaxy Note II, as it relies on some of the internal OS tweaks to function. Same with some proprietary apps like S-Note, they may need the internal changes present only on Touchwiz ROMs.
Still no possibility to install S Note on Nexus 7???
Is there really no possibility to install Samsung S Note on the Nexus 7?
I even flashed a custom rom, which is said to port Touchwiz on the Nexus 7, but I still can´t install the S Note apk.
(I am prevented to post outside links -.- You have to search mrmad.net CodenameSammy 1.2, there you will find the rom)

yeah man,it's famous,but it's only a cna based rom with some touchwiz touches(TWframeworks,APKs,etc)
it's a well known fact that the tw dependencies limit the port.being closed sorce,tw ui need rewritten code for working on others non touchwiz dependent phones.i don't say that it's impossibile,but very hard and long.doubt we will ever see anything related
You should use Myscript Calculator. It does the match functionality perfectly.
Lecture note is better then snote
I hardly ever use s-note on my note 10.1. there is a- note hd for the note that you guys might like better I dont have a link but its available in the note 10.1 forum ...I do not really use it but it looks kewl..
I use lecture note and Franklin planner for the note 10.1 ..s note is useless without the S- pen in my opinion ...
I wish myscript would release and enhance their notes program. Its fantastic just for the handwriting recognition same with the samsung keyboard handwriting recognition. Have been wondering if the 7notes keyboard is worth just getting
so in my brief time with the galaxy s5, I saw how Samsung decided to remove lock screen widgets which irked me. I see they're continuing their antics with the tab s series.
this makes things like Google music and Netflix useless when using chromecast etc because it removes the easy way to just pause and skip via the lockscreen.
I installed xposed and installed a Galaxy S5 mod that was supposed to enable lock screen widgets again, which I'm sure it did for the s5 users but it doesn't work on the tab.
does anyone have any idea or solution as to the best way to do this? there has to be a way.

Same here, have you found a work around? I mean just listening to music makes it harder to just pause and restart. Always need to make pattern, very annoying!

Lockscreen Widgets for rooted Users
Guys, do we have a solution in the meantime or still have to install an alternate launcher ? I am on SkyHigh ROM 4.4.2. and want to stay there for the next months...
I thought @THEDEVIOUS1 (he did it on his ROM) and maybe @Goldie (he did it on the s5 I think) might have a solution for us ?
nobody ? so thats bad news
Can someone please check their Widget list and see if the stock messaging/ SMS widget is there. For some reason mine is missing, i use nova launcher and thought that maybe the issue, but its not there in stock launcher either.
Thanks.
I don't use it but I just tried to set a widget and it doesn't appear in my list of widgets.
What the heck. The widget used to be there for me on my S9. Can someone else confirm if they see it or not also. It makes Bo since why it would be removed. On my work phone galaxy S6. It is working as usual.

Same reason they removed image resizing from the photo editing app, replaced "keep screen off in a dark place such as pocket or bag" with "touch is disabled in a dark place", screen will now happily come on and stay on though... and other dumb changes that make no sense
At a guess for the messages widget, stats probably showed it wasn't used much but who knows with Samsung

Use a different SMS app that contains a widget?
Android Messages has widgets and is a much better app in my opinion.
i really like to keep my phone minimalist with no extra apps unless i have too.. also it's nice having one that respects the theming engine of the phone.

The widget is gone for me also. Happened when I updated the Google Android Messages app on Google play store yesterday.

After toying around on and off all day, I found an older version of the Google Android Messages app that works and has the widget. I do not promote installing apps from unverified sources outside if the Google Play Store as it can be a risk to your device. Here is the application that I found to be working:
