[Q] Stock ICS Email app on GS-II - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I would LOVE to be able to install the stock ICS email app on my GSII running ICS. I've used it on my Motorola Xoom, which runs essentially unaltered ICS. Is there any way to do this that does NOT require rooting and/or removing the Samsung app? I've already had one bad experience going down that road, unfortunately :-(
Thanks in advance, and apologies if this is a repeat.

this will help just a little...
i used an apk from either an amaze rom or one of the cm9 roms from sgs2 tmo.
cant remember,but one did work.
i do have an apk of the stock aosp mms that works (thinking i pulled it off the same rom it is dark themed).
if you find it let me know.
the one that worked installs without pushing into sys/apps,or overwriting tw stock email.
side note...
apollo player works (very cool)
desk clock works
video editor
torch
gallery 2
all work on unrooted.

Cool - I'll check it out! What tool can I use to separate APKs from ROMs?

root explorer.just extract all,go to extracted

Looks like Root Explorer works when you've flashed your phone, which is what I'd like to avoid - is there a tool that lets you browse/extract the ROM on your desktop?

you can extract it without root.here ill post the apks i pulled.give me little while.

[App] Stock FM Tuner App for Galaxy S II with CyanogenMod 9?

Hello everyone, was wondering if the stock FM Tuner App would work in the latest nightly builds of CyanogenMod 9.
I've seen that there's a Spirit FM app that according to some dowa work with the nightlies however I'd like to try the stock one.
If someone could post a copy of it here would be awesome!

Hy. Maybe you have heard that stock samsung apps are locked on samsung only ROMs. It is quite complicated to make a stock samsung app work on cm9.
At first you can't even install the stock samsung apps and if you copy them in system/app they won't appear in app drawer.

[REQ] Working Stock Widget & App For CM10

I'm now using sematek's CM10 Unofficial build. The ROM is ultra fast, super stable and eye candy at the same time. However, I miss the stock samsung apps, for specific, the Accuweather and Music player. I've read somewhere that they need TW framework to operate. I have a working TW 5 for CM 10 but not sure if the framework is there already or not. I've tried lots of port for GS2 and have zero success so far.
Sure there would be alternative but I want to stay with sammy stock app for a while cause the money we paid partly went to samsung's dev anyway, right?
To sum up, I need a working package of AccuWeather and Stock music player that actually work on CM10. Maybe a port? Or an extract from Sam's offcial JB? Any?
Haven't seen any so far, probably not possible. But love to have one though

I've been wondering the same thing but I'm CM9 nightly and I don't like the launcher. Where did you get TW5 from? I tried the one with modified grid and as soon as I click install. It says "Application not installed" Is it a framework issue?

[ROM][I747MVLALH1][ICS][12.10.17] PURE MINIMAL - Stock Odexed, Stripped Down

I made this rom mostly for myself using dixda's Android Kitchen and I just needed something for my basic phone use (Phone, Messaging, Gmail, Calc, Calendar, Camera, Clock, Contacts, Gallery, Internet, Maps, Music, Files, Play Store, Video Player, Youtube). Everything else has been deleted.
I usually prefer AOSP based roms but I find stock odexed roms much smoother. Additionally, stock roms have better mic quality, audio quality, camera features.
I used the Canadian Bell base (I747MVLALH1) because I find it has much less bloatware by default than the AT&T one (no wi-fi notification, AT&T only contacts, etc).
12.10.X - Upcoming
add MOD to remove sms messages in call log
add MOD recovery option to reboot menu
add MOD volume up to skip song
12.10.17 - Initial Version
system/apps stripped down

Will test once I get home. It's based on my stock ROM and promises smoothness, count me in.

Going to test this out right now. Thank you.
Not bad, although surprised that even with a minimalist package it stutters just as much as stock ROM.

Thanks for the feedback. Still learning how to work with the Rom. I will definitely do a jelly bean one as soon as there is an official release.

I have noticed that search is gone. I cannot find google quick search widget and when I press search from menu, nothing happens. Is there any way to get that back?
It's gone because Apple sued Samsung about it right after the device went on sale (SUPRISE!! Apple has a BS patent for that too!) ... so when Samsung brought the LH1 firmware update to market it was stripped out - you could hack that feature back in or try a different rom with it included.
I thought Samsung only took out the universal search feature. I believe the search bar widget was still there after I updated mine. I'll try to find some CWM or apk that I can install to get it back.

[ROM][ 4.1.1 JB TW // Nexus 4 Hybrid]

Hey whats up everyone. First off let me mention that I'm not a developer by any means, so please don't start flaming. I simply want to share my small little creation -- A stock touchwiz rom (I mean stock everything -- Kernel, Baseband, etc), but with as much pure google-ness as possible, all while maintaining stability and functionality.
Rom
Official Stock 4.1.1. JB (Rooted)
De-bloated both T-Mobile (even Carrier IQ) and Samsung stuff.
Theme
ICS Blue Status bar with G, E, H, and H+ Signal icons
ICS Blue Status bard Toggles (Wi-Fi, GPS, etc)
ICS Blue Phone Dial Pad
ICS Blue themed stock MMS
4.2 Contacts Icons
Nexus 4 .apks
Nexus 4 Calculator
Nexus 4 Google Calendar
Nexus 4 Gmail 4.2 with pinch-zoom function
Nexus 4 Keyboard w/ Swype function & Emoji
Nexus 4 GTalk
Nexus 4 Jellybean Launcher
Nexus 4 Alarms, Notifcations, and Ringtones
Nexus 4 Clock
Nexus 4 Google News and Weather
Injected .apks
Google Wallet w/ NFC Fix for JB Touchwiz Roms. (Must follow these **simple** instructions to get this to work! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083)
DSP Manager from CM10
Touchwiz Apps
Camera (Because 4.2 camera with photosphere is not 100% operational and FC's -- whether it be because of the gallery, auto focus, or flash)
Gallery (Goes hand in hand with the TW Camera)
MMS (Because 4.2 MMS, you can't edit your own photo contact, but everyone else's you can. Not a big deal but again -- 100% stability is the goal)
S-Memo (Just cause I draw stuff, but you can delete it from "systems/app" folder if you want.)
Video Player (Because the Picture-in-Picture feature is nice to have)
So yea. Everything is fully functional, and whatever was not, was not installed. Wi-Fi calling works as well. Anything you feel like adding to it, go for it. This is just my build, the way I like it. I hope you all enjoy.
For more "Buttery" Smoothness, set all animation scales in the Developers Section in your settings menu to 0.5. :good:
As always, do the following
Make a Backup
Wipe Data and Cache
To install, you must place this Backup into your CWM Recovery Folder, and Restore from there. Thats it!

Looks good bud! Thanks
Will try later. Any known bugs ?
I am on TWRP
@OP:
1. That is one big file...
2. We appreciate your effort, and it definitely does look like a great ROM to flash and try out, but next time, as tempting as it seems sometimes, please give us a ROM file to flash instead of uploading a nandroid backup and telling us to restore from recovery.
Ive been waiting for a rom like this, but im on twrp, i think if nandroid this cwm nandroid it would brick my phone right?

You cant use CWM backups on TWRP. They have different ways to backup and restore.
You can't download from the phone the slider on the download page won't move.

Hey everyone. Sorry for the late response. Busy at work. But yea. To be honest, I don't know how to make it into a zip to you all can install it from Recovery, rather than restoring the image itself.
If someone can guide me to the right path, maybe a webpage or how-to, I'd gladly do what I can to change up the method of installation. thanks again !

Good idea to do so, maybe it can be worked on by the OP of both threads, if this is going to get maintained.

[REQ] AOSP People App

I have been looking around for this and have found places that have the pretty much every other AOSP app up for download except this one. I am using a Stock based rom and I want to use the AOSP People app because it's a billion times better than the TW Contacts app.
Might anyone know where I can get this?

Thanks. I thought maybe since a lot of the other AOSP apps were ported over that this one would be too. Damn, i love the People contacts app. You don't have to post the app unless you think someone else can use it
Yeah only I don't know the word for it but maybe "material "apps like the camera and clock that arent actually necessary and it won't work because Samsung has for proprietary framework thanks reason we can't you Samsung camera on aosp ROMs sorry about that man but for future reference you can extract any of the APKs you want right out of any aosp ROM using root or solid explorer
Oh yeah must of the time there are libs to go with those FYI in case you go experimenting
