hi there,
i just flashed my galaxy s2 from 2.3.6 to custom CRODO ROM and i was a little bit confused because there is just the old samsung calendar available...and not the new shiny ics calendar from google.
is there a way to download the ics stock calendar or did i miss something while installing the custom crodo rom?
thanks for helping!

did you ever resolve this issue? I am having the same problem with my Galaxy S 2.
Try flashing a AOSP rom like Slim ICS 3.0. When you flash a custom from that's based on any samsung rom, you will get the ugly Samsung/touchwiz calendar. I've tried installing the Android calendar on a Samsung based rom, but got a lot sync issues.
An AOSP rom gives a clean, slick 'google' look and feel.

Ok, Itried this method and it worked.
I downloaded AOSP calndar from Wanamlite.
before installing the .zip file, I made a whole backup using Titnium backup. Then I installed .zip file.
After Rebooting I've restored the application named:
[CALENDAR] Calendar Storage 4.0.3-****
where **** is ROM version (for me it is XWLP3).
If you check sync section you would see that Calendar Option is back again.
P.S. I'm not sure. but I guess this method will only work on Official and official-based ICS Roms

Hope someone can point me in the right direction here, I have a rooted Telus HTC Desire HD. I have tried several ROM's and so far none quite fit the bill. I am looking for a ROM that is basically a rooted version of the stock rom. I only rooted my phone so I could use a clockwork recovery and be able to backup my device. Also Sense is needed as I use google calendar along with pure calendar to display my appointments, contact birthdays and facebook contact birthdays. Facebook for sense seems to be the only way to easily do this. I have RCmixHD which is supposed to be a port of Telus stock rom & I like it except that it does not have Canadian or US English options. If anyone has some ideas on where to look next I sure would like to know.
Hi jmc7895
Since you like sense.. you can try Android Revolution HD and LeeDrOid. Well you can try the Gingerbread version of them, you also have the option to try out the Froyo version.
Cheers. =)
I have to say I am no Android freak, I just started to use Custom Roms for 3 weeks.
But I could honestly recommend Android Revolution HD 5.1.x to everybody.
stable, fast, almost a rooted stock Rom, no trash inside, no problems until you do not install any "Sense 3.0 Addons"
only follow the guides and you will be happy with that rom.
I am currently using Revolution HD.
First custom rom i've tried, I love it. Looks exactly like stock Gingerbread, only waaay faster and with better battery life. Plus there's 24/7 support on the rom's thread
Just follow the tutorials, you'll be fine !
The only downside I could think of is that the rom is not directly available in ROM Manager. Not a big problem anyway =)
Hi All,
My wife hates the Samsung Calendar. She likes the Google one with gapps that I have on my CM10 device. "Sure!" I tell her. "You can have gapps on your stock rom!" So, I root hers, leave the stock ROM, and install gapps. But, no Calendar app? The install completed successfully (from the ROM Manager perspective), but it just seems like none of the apps are there like they should be.
So, my question is, is it even possible to install gapps on the Samsung stock ROM? Or does it require a custom ROM?
Thanks for your time.

The calendar is on the market now. Have you tried that one?
Wow. Weird. I swear I checked for that just a few days ago. I guess I missed it, or it's super new. Thanks for the heads up though!
Chris
It was just added two days ago or so

Hi,
I really like the stock email (allowing different polling times for peak / off-peak and the overall usability) as well as the stock calendar and the wifi calling feature.
I do afraid that if I'll install any new ROM (say 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 based ROMs) I will loose those stock apps. I understand that I will need the "Stock Samsung Framework" so something similar to that?
Is there a way to download those apps from somewhere? and also - what will I need to remove from the system folder before I install (or overwrite) with the stock apps?
Thanks,
Gil.
There is no official 4.2.2 for samsung devices yet. Specially like our s 3.
The feature you mentioned are Touch Wiz based ROm feature. If you install 4.2.2 then you will loose all those. And there is no way you can install those on any AOSP based ROM or CM or AOKP.

Thanks Bikrame,
I just wish someone could create a ZIP installer that installs only Touchwiz on top of other ROMs; I know that there was one for ICS on the SGS3 but I could not find any for JB...

Hello All!
I just want to clear some of my basic doubts before I flash ROMs in my GN2. So, here goes:
Is it right that custom ROMs donot have some of the Samsung proprietary features such as Air View, Smart Rotation, Smart Stay, etc.? and
Are kernels also flashed in the same way as the ROMs are i.e., .zip flash via Recovery?
Thanks!

Hi,
1.) It is possible.
2.) Yes
1) yes, cyanogenmod rom paranoid rom will Disable Samsung applications, but there are still so many roms, like Android revolution HD, Crash rom ( I'm currently using now) , just google " the best custom rom for galaxy note 2" , those roms keep all of Samsung features + many system tweaks. Just try them.
2) exactly yes
Here, I'd like to advice to back your stock rom before flashing a custom rom. This is very important to recover your phone in case something went wrong

ALL TW ROMS have these options s whereas Aosp don't
Yes the same way to flash the kernel

Your question has been answered already but I would like to explain a bit more for others who can be confused with all this.
There are 4 kinds of custom ROM available.
TW (stock Samsung)
AOSP( Pure Google Android) Won't have any of the Samsung features
AOKP( Based on AOSP but with some more features) Won't have any of the Samsung features but they got the S-pen working.
MIUI (Chinese version of Android with very different style than others) ?????? not sure
ROMs and Kernels comes in 2 formats. ZIP and TAR.
If it's a ZIP file, you flash it in recovery using CWM, TWRP or PHIL.
If it's a TAR file, you need to put your phone in Download Mode and flash it with ODIN.
Custom ROM' almost always come in ZIP(never seen one using TAR but it's not impossible)
Official Samsung ROM almost always come in TAR files
Hope it helps.
Is it possible, if so how, to install Samsung apps from stock rom to a custom rom? Specifically, S Calendar from stock (4.4.2) to CM13. The gapps version of calendar does not provide the ability to copy an appointment/task (ie. a Dr appointment has occurred now you get a reschedule).
Would like to be able to carry all the apps using the S Pen (S Note, etc) to CM13, is this possible? To have Cyanogen recognize when the pen is removed and ready to be used?
I hope I conveyed my thoughts....
Thanks in advance
From what I have read, these Samsung apps require kernel and will not work on aosp, caf, or cm kernels.
