Galaxy SIII Task Manager
Updated 07/15 - Updated/Signed/Zipalign'd APK - Rehosted -
#INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK - I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONS#
#PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY#
#ICS ONLY#
Ladies and Gentleman,
I present to you a working port of the Galaxy SIII's Task Manager. It's not much different than the T989's stock, but it looks better and seems to perform better.
WILL NOT WORK WITH:
Stock mods such as InFamous or Darkside. Generally, anything that came with the SII's task manager preinstalled.
With these ROMs it installs but will not close apps or clear memory for some reason. Still working on finding cause.
Works with:
AOKP, AOPK, CWM9 Nightlies, Vanilla, and all mods of these.
Prereq:
Must be rooted
Must be running ICS
You might need Root Explorer of the first installation method does not work
Installation:
1.) Download SIII Task Manager Signed/Zipaligned APK
2.) Install like any other APK.
3.) Reboot
4.) Press+hold home button it should have a task manager button at the bottom. If not it should be in your application list.
Optional Installation (if above doesn't work)
1.) Use Root Explorer and mount R/O
2.) Move APK file to system/app
3.) Rename to TaskManager.apk
4.) Set Permissions as rw-r--r--
XXO
XOO
XOO
5.) Reboot
6.) Press+hold home button it should have a task manager button at the bottom. If not it should be in your application list.
This new port was done by me directly from my SIII.

it does indeed work on DSv7 just installed no freezing either follow instructions and you should be fine, be sure to change the original jobmanager file extention to .bak you dont have to remove it, then import the gs3 apk

You might experience a slight battery drain issue or apps not closing upon End Task being pressed on certain builds. If that happens, you can delete the JobManager.apk and rename the old JobManager.bak to Jobmanager.apk and reboot.
Still determining the cause, but on AOKP and CM9 Nightly this works fine. It seems to only affect InFamous at this time. I couldn't duplicate the error in Darkside3v7.
I'll come back with a fix. And it only happens every *now* and then and rebooting fixes it. Just enough annoying to be considered a bug.

Can you, or anyone having this issue, run Darkside cache wipe from recovery, come back and let me know if it fixed it?
I think it may be a cache issue of old data from the older version. With AOKP/AOSP/CM9 there is are no versions installed by default therefore its not running into any issues on those ROMs, just certain times on InFamous so far. I don't have my Dev T989 with me or I would test it post darkside cache wipe myself.

I must be doing something wrong but i followed instructions to the T and still have stock task manager...or does this not come up while holding the home key? Do you have to enter maually through the app itself?
Edit: NVM you have to access through app drawer and yes i got it working. Thanks for the port :good:

S voice already runs perfectly using the zip in our theMes and apps section. You just have to use a Samsung ROM for full functionality.cm9 doesn't have all the Samsung apps so you will get force closes related to that issue

I installed SVoice on the stock ICS ROM for the T989 and the network errors kept occurring until I changed build.prop. Even after I changed that however, SVoice just kept FCing. Finally gave up on it and deleted it.
I have it working great on tdj latest tmo ics and thats with touch of color theme on top. Are you flashing zip or just trying to install apk?

I installed the zip via cwm, I removed .apks from /system/app to make room for 30MB voicetalk.apk, I set permissions, I changed owners, I re-installed via root explorer, I rebooted, and was still getting FCs. I was also getting constant network errors until I edited my build.prop to mimic the s3, but I was never able to stop the FCs.
I didn't change anything with root explorer. Just flashed and darkside cache wipe and rebooted. Voila..MAGIC!!(future voice)

I'm good at flashing zips, but when it comes to this I could use some specific instructions. What permissions do I use? Do I need to uninstall the old calendar first, or run them side by side?

I would rename your current calender to .bak instead of .apk so you still have it. Then using root explorer move this apk to system/apps the long press it. Click change permissions and I believe they should be set to rw/r/r. Good luck!

It's pretty simple. However this process still did not work on my rooted SGSII. But for future reference of these types of system files here ya go.
- Use Root Explorer to place the file in the System/App folder in the directory
- If the new file is a different name then you can easily just place it in that folder ( of course you have to change Root Explorer to R/O mode instead of R/W mode ) - ( if its the same name then just rename the old file to something you can remember )
- Permissions for most apps would be RW, R, R. Just click on the file and select "Permissions". After you do that you do need to re-boot the device to save the settings.
Note: I did try this with this calendar and it did not work. We actually need a SSGSIII Calendar ported to work on an SGII. I am not smart enough to make that happen. Although I would like to be able to do such things someday. Hope this helps at least for future reference.
I'm pledging $10 towards the Dev who can get the S-Calendar ported yo the T-Mobile SGS-2. Maybe more if it is done by Monday. I know it's not a lot, but it's what I can give.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this seemed like the most relevant place to post.
I recently put CarbonROM on my phone and, after playing around with it for a bit, realize I absolutely hate the google calendar and just want my old calendar back. I downloaded the apk provided in this thread and attempted to install it but it says I already have the app. Sure enough, if I go to Settings > Apps, it shows up as Calendar Storage, but there is no icon anywhere, such as in my app drawer, that allows me to load the program. I even tried using QuickShortcutMaker, but it can't find the calendar anywhere in the list of apps to make a shortcut. Does anybody know what I can do?
Same situation here with carbon Rom.
Anyone know how to get it working?

I am not sure, but it would seem, S Planer doesn't work on any other ROM than the Samsung Official ROM.
I don't know why... I've testing a lot of possibilities (replace the original AOKP's apk by the Samsung's apk, do a wipe Dalvik, wipe cache, modify the permissions...), a lot of apk (recovered here, recovered on an original v4.1.2 samsung's ROM, recovered on the testing v4.2.2 Samsung ROM...), and it never work on my CyanoGen Mod 10.1...
It isn't an incompatibility with an other home than TouchWiz because I've never use this home with my previous Samsung's ROM and S Planer working correctly...
I will continue to looking to do working S Planer with an other ROM, but I have little hope... :crying:
Here is the new Google Now Inverted with my touch of blue (really just blue text and some images LOL). Make a nandroid back up and then flash in CWM. If you have any problems delete your old quicksearchbox.apk from data/app or system/app and then flash my mod, enjoy!
If you use or like hit the thanks button. If your feeling particularly thankful, buy me a beer using the donate button!
Works, had to uninstall old app before flashing.

I made one too but flashing it to system/app causes the settings too force close...how did you fix that?
DarkJelly Gnex on JellyBro sent this from the app.
Actually it was by mistake,,, I was using the apk multi-tool and instead of hitting the yes for system app and then yes again, I hit no then yes and was waiting for it to compile and it didnt? Well I went to the "place apk her for modding" folder I saw it was there so I signed it and zipped it up in an older mod that I created to install apps to data/apps and it worked?? LOL I have been trying to theme this thing for days and it always force closed when trying the voice commands. I noticed when compiling before it was noticeably smaller by a few megs and when I did it this new way it seemed to work? I have made multiple edits this way and so far it works.

I might be able to help here but the reason it force closes when trying to do a voice commands while app is in the system directory is because there's a lib file inside the apk that needs to be moved to system/lib then it should be all kosher

I've been using it over a month. I gives me weather and traffic info before leaving work and home. It also gives me game alerts for the Reds and previews for upcoming games. When I pull down my notification tray it will show I have a Gnow notification, and say 2 or 3 cards in the text in bottom right of the main notification if multiple. It's just that when the notifications appear there is nothing at the top of my phone. Currently I have a weather GNow card in my tray, but my notifications at top show only a G+ and Foursquare check in.

I am posting this thread in an effort to reduce the congestion in development threads relating to the force closing issue of the contacts app in Touchwiz Jelly Bean roms based off the recent Bell leak. The following are solutions that are working for some, but not for others:
1. Go into recovery, clear cache, fix permissions and reboot.
2. Open accounts & sync options, select Google, un-check and re-check contacts.
3. Open a contact through your call log. For some this fixed opening the contacts app, for others it only allows you to view the one specific contact.
4. Restore a previous titanium backup of contacts app.
5. Install SecContacts.apk from a device where the contacts app is working.
6. Change the permissions to rw rw r in secContacts.apk and seccontactsprovider.apk, then fix permisions - Thanks Rybean
7. Flash the odexed bloated version, then reinstall that version without a wipe. - Thanks AntiSyrum
Please feel free to add any other solutions that have worked and discuss this issue in detail. Please keep all discussion here and out of development threads.
I want to note that 1-4 above have not worked for me. I cannot try 5 until I get my hands on a deodexed version of a working apk.
I had to change the permissions to rw rw r in secContacts.apk and the seccontactsprovider.apk then went in recovery and fixed permissions and it worked.

Didn't fix it for me, but did change it to a normal fc vs. a total device freeze, so that I don't have to reboot my device when trying.

Guys I think I found a pretty simple and easy solution.
Go to the Market/search contacts app. Install Go Contacts EX. BOOM.
My contacts synced instantly without me doing a thing and now contacts are issue free!

Not sure I follow? Are you saying the installation and sync of Go Contacts will result in the stock contacts app working issue free? If not, are you suggesting a replacement contacts app? On the latter, I am not sure replacing touchwiz ui/functionality would be be a popular solution for those wanting a stock tw rom, we have cm10 for that.

Your right. I am suggesting a replacement contacts app. Like I said, it's just simple and easy workaround until things get worked out. In Smartguys thread some guys were able to fix this issue and some weren't. This is for the guys who haven't had any success with the solutions suggested in Smartguys thread.
You will lose the ui/functionality, but there were guys in the thread who said they've tried every solution to get it to work but just couldn't make it happen.
So this is an easy way to use your phone until issues get worked out.

As a temporary solution I agree, but I was hoping to garner more stock app fixes in the pursuit of reducing that temporary period for more people.
Please don't misinterpret my response, your suggestion was appreciated, just wanted to clarify it.

Just to add my experience...
My contacts were working fine until i tried to change the "contacts to display"option. After that it FCed every time. I cleared data with tibu and it started working again.

Didn't fix it for me, but did change it to a normal fc vs. a total device freeze, so that I don't have to reboot my device when trying.

Ok I was having the same issue so I switched to the odexed bloated version. Unfortunately it didn't work but I did reinstall the Rom without any wipe and that fixed it for me. Hope this helps. I did everything and this was the only fix that worked I forgot who mentioned to do this but whoever it was thank you

I started getting FC's on Contacts after installing an earlier JB-leak. But I used an external launcher (Go Launcher, if I'm not mistaken), and removing this solved my problem. Every FC since then has been solved gradually by keeping up to date on JB-leaks.
Here is the new 4.2 camera with working photosphere. It works awsome on the latest T&K AOKP and on CM10.1.. haven't tested on anything else !!Here is the thread where I found it..

this was leaked a while ago..it does work 100%, photosphere and everything.. but in order to take a picture without it freezing up during auto-focus, you have to set the scene to "Action".

I have had zero issues with "freezing up" whatsoever. Perhaps that was before we had a proper AOKP build. But now everything works. Though after flashing this, I have 2 camera and 2 gallery apps. lol
Using a file explorer remove gallery2.apk from your system/app folder, reboot good to go!!

tried it and its really unstable. im sure if it was that easy the cm team would have added to their nightlies by now
I used this on a tw stock rom and no problems kudos wondering why cm users having such a issue

This is a noob question, but does this work like the stock Gallery/Camera combo where you can see your Picasa folders? When I was rooted and using a stock Rom I would always upload immediately to Picasa and delete from SD/phone and still be able to see my pics in the folder. Since I switched to JellyBam Rom, I no longer see anything from Picasa, although I can still upload pics to Picasa. I flashed GAPPS 4.1.2, and everything works on the apps, except for the Picasa/Gallery thing. Any help in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

Idk but every time I went from stock builds Picasa broke unless the dev rebuilds it in. But answer your question no it does not.

This is correct! Thanks for the heads up on the AT&T SGS III. However since "Action" scene is required to be able to use without freezing users should also note that "Action" scene does not have Flash functionality. (No Pictures in the dark). "Auto" mode still freezing up when Auto-Focusing. I'd say if you want the camera to play with Photosphere and never take pictures in the dark then this APK is for you.
That's is working with no problem on JB 4.1 TW base.And the good part : it not replace the TW camera!

flash this then I dunno if its same zip but you end up with 2 camerash and 2 gallerys
Then you can use normal camerah to take your photos with flash still and only use the google camerah when you want to use that weird ass photosphere this is how i use it on rootbox runing task kernal =)(
beter way to do it who **** wants loose there flash?
if its same zip nm I got this from somewhere

Anyone on AOKP rom got this work successfully with saving to SD card? Also will this delete the default camera/gallery app on the AOKP rom?

I don't know about saving to SD. It doesn't delete your gallery it adds another one beside your original.

About the 2 gallery's/2 cameras: In your app drawer after flashing the first one is stock, second one is photosphere. Just go to the app info and disable the stocks.

I've been running this for about 3 weeks and I have never had to set the scene to anything in order for it to work I just leave it on Auto. It just worked 100% straight outa flashing.
Also, because of this I have working flash as well.

No, it's not unstable. You did something wrong, or your ROM is interfering.
