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

Just got my CDMA Gnex today and after rooting/unlocking, chose to try out Team BAMF Paradigm ROM. Everything works great, but I noticed that the "People" widget that I saw in advertisements for the Nexus appears to be missing. Is there an apk for it somewhere? Should I reflash Gapps?
Sidenote: is the Facebook sync not supposed to work with ICS? I remember reading it a few months ago but haven't been on an ICS ROM until now; any work around for it?
I booted up my new AT&T S3 and was glad to see the improvements to the calendar and Exchange sync. Tasks are finally supported!
So I flashed to CM9 and Exchange sync was the first thing I checked. Sure enough, tasks were gone. The new functionality must be a Samsung value-add rather than a new ICS feature.
I'm back on stock for now, but was wondering if anyone's tried to extract the Samsung calendar/email/sync and install it on top of CM9?
Damn right! Have the same problem on S2. And all the new JB roms that I have tried does not support it too. Very frustrating... Is there a reason?
Greetings
Hi
i too would like to install some of my stock galaxy s3 (IG-i9300) to be used with my CM9 ROM.
i am mainly interested in:
- SMS app (i liked the way it looks)
- Contacts app (it was very comfortable)
i really can't seem to find any good replacement for the contacts app -__- they're all stupid or trying to be cute.
this is the first phone i've ever rooted and installed a new ROM on, so i could really use a hand with this one
You cannot flash any touchwiz app to an aosp based ron

So, I got all excited knowing that the official Google Calendar app made it to the marketplace recently.
I've been using for a handful of days now.
And I find myself leaning back towards the stock Samsung calendar (to my own surprise). It seems like a well polished calendar app.
I have not heavily dug into every nook and crannie of each app, but am wondering...
Has anyone noticed any blaring differences between the apps?
Pros vs Cons of either?
Chime in.
My first thoughts:
Samsung wins an 'nicer' looking interface
Google wins at 'feeling' like the google web/desktop calendar (as expected), which some might like if they use that a lot
Samsung wins on at least being able to change a background color theme?
Samsung wins at getting me my already written info to my eyeballs quicker (ex/ the month view shows text on each day, the google does not)
I use the Samsung app and really enjoy it. I use Google sync to sync my work calendar (Outlook) with my Google account, and then just since my Google account through the Samsung app. Works well, looks good, no complaints.

Is there any way to use the samsung calendar on other roms.. ive tried pulling it and placing it on another rom but I honestly dont know if im trying to use the wrong files or does it need tw to function.
I've had no qualms with Samsung's stock app, particularly after the JB update.
Agreed, post JB update and stock is much better, I wish there was some theme support though. stock colors aren't my favorite, a cleaner pure Goog theme would be sweet

It doesn't need TW. I use it with Nova, and have TW frozen through TB.

Hey guys, just got a gnex, and I'm liking it so far. I will root later tonight and I want to start with cm10. Problem is, the op probably isn't very up to date and there are 420 pages of discussion (on tapatalk). Can someone give me a quick run down of what to flash to get me started with cm10 on the gnex? I know I need the ROM and gapps, and maybe another kernel. I can handle those myself. Any other add ons that y'all recommend? Thank you in advance!

Honestly, for now I'd just install one of the available 4.2 ROMs instead. I switched from CM10 to Bigxie's 4.2 ROM and absolutely love it. It's definitely a bit snappier and more solid than CM10 was for me.
The only thing I miss is the DSP manager but really that's the only thing that is worth mentioning at this point. Even the notification toggles are a moot point now since the 2 finger swipe gets you to your quick toggles in 4.2 now anyway.
Thanks, I'll take a look at that ROM. Aldo, in currently stock, but I keep getting an error when trying to download apps. I've cleared market, play services, and frameworks, as well as removing and re adding my Google account. I have even completely wiped data and started over. All these fix the problem at first, but it soon starts happening again. Any way to permanently fix until I root and update? And do the custom ROMs suffer this issue?

If you want the best of every world download Paranoid Android 2.99 when it gets released tonight. You can switch from a phone, tablet, and phablet interface. Not to mention the normal hacks and goodies.

I am looking for a ROM for my EVO 4G that has:
1, JellyBean and Sense 4.0,
2. Sprint VVM working,
3. Facebook profile picture sync to contact's picture (I think this is a sense feature hence why I want sense, honestly I prefer the look of CM10),
4. as much stable and working as possible, especially flash, don't much care about WiMAX and FFC.
I am currently on AlienMOD Solar Flare Series V, which I like for the most part. However, I can not get Sprint VVM to work, it sends me texts about voicemail but I don't want to call voicemail as it uses minutes and I don't always get the texts. Additionally I can't seem to get my contact's picture to sync with Facebook.
Honestly if I could disable the text VM notifications, get Sprint VVM to work, and figure out how to get the contact's pics to since with facebook, I would be happy as is. But I have searched and searched and I can not find a solution that works.
Any help with either of these would be awesome.
Well if that is all you need my suggestion is get a new phone. There will not be any jb sense roms for this phone. Sense for the og stopped with gingerbread.

Anything after Gingerbread will never have EVERYTHING working. If you want to flash ICS of JB you have to make compromises.
For Facebook contact pictures, I remember an app called Photo Unlocker but it was removed from the Play Store. I haven't had any luck locating it.
Honestly if I could just get VVM working on this rom and remove the text notifactions for VM I would be happy. I can work around the facebook issue.
Haxsync works good for Facebook sync. Or if you want free use free Facebook contact sync.

Does it support swap?
By swap do you mean like an a2sd or something similar? Or as on a RAM swap partition?
There are a few miui issues. Stock mms will error if more than 160 characters are sent. You also have to change resolution of front camera. When first opened you get green picture. I think that is it.

Honestly I think TNN is becoming my goto ROM dev team.
That is dependant on the kernel. Lionfish will work with this ROM and give you the swap feature. It is what I run on all my AOSP roms. Just be sure your sd-ext is not an ext4 file system. 2 and 3 will work but the the lionfish kernel does not support 4.

LOL. Always a compromise.... Want sense? Then no JB... Want Swap? No EXT4.... This is a very delicate back and forth... Oh well. I can't complain too much...
