Adding back stock apps to CM9 (or AOKP) - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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

Share your thoughts with stock Samsung Calendar vs the new Google Calendar?

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

New to gnex

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.

[Q] quick question

hey all im a n00b so plz bare with me if my question is stupid lol
is there a ROM u for the s2that would allow me to save contacts to the phone not google account(something liquid smooth didnt let me) also i want to be able to search my phone, and when i sync my contacts with facebook, viber, voxer and whatsapp, etcc i want to get one unified contact instead of like 5 contacts of the same thing…
android version 4.04 is not an option…this version of android took out universal search, which i read online was thanks to Apple lawsuit..idk detailss
im happy with stock (4.0.3) but i wanna get rid of the useless tmobile apps…so basically contacts to the phone (not sync with google) and search my phone is my top priorities ..
are there any samsung roms that have jelly bean? i downloaded kodoo, but playstore and the launcher button didnt work..
roms that i had previous was the newest liquid smooth, kodoo and cynagomod10
kodoo was the closest thing to what i wanted but playtore and launcher button didnt work...
any help would be much appreciated...
An alternative from using your Google account to saving your contacts is via exporting the contacts to a .vcf file on your storage. You can get to this option under the contacts tab of dialer application.
Not sure if it's possible to sync contacts for all the mentioned apps at one time. Aside from Facebook being part of your Google account, the other apps have their own contact list as far as I know.
In terms of ROMs, there are plenty of Jelly Bean Touchwiz based ROMs if you look at the Development section... although they are not the official 4.1.2 for our phone.
One of the options you can check out is the one created by the All-Star Devs here. Good luck!
You need a touchwiz rom
jedi jelly...embryo...jedi mind trick...jedi knight...infamous resurrection...koodo...galaxy_rom
The first 2 are jellybean...everything else is ics. Find the rom threads and follow the op flashing instructions and see which one works the best for you
Also if you have a contact on facebook phone and whatever other accounts you have just open one of the contacts and click menu...join contacts...and search for the other contacts you want to merge..
thanks for the info
the tweak v2 rom was pretty awesome but it didnt run smoothly on my fone,(i wish it did i would have kept it) nor could i load my contacts from sd card. galaxy_rom had too many problems, jedi -->launcher doesnt work properly
i feel the best rom for me would be a samsung based rom(galaxy s3, note2) with jelly bean that willl eliminate tmbile bs apps..any suggestions

Flashaholics/themeaholics

Hi, my names Chad and im a flashaholic. It all started when I got my Sprint Galaxy Note II. After rooting and flashing my first rom there was no looking back.
I have found a daily driver and I'm not going to drop any names. Every dev involved with creating these mods and roms for this device are amazing. While performance is important, I like moding, EVERYTHING.
I would like to know what everyone else likes about flashing roms. What is important to you? Maybe some screenshots of mods you've done to your phone?
Here's my keyboard. (=

I actually flash a lot less than I did when I have the Evo 4G. I'm more modded, but I'm mainly just changing files.
I'm running doexidezed stock MC2, Persues Kernel 3.6, with the 4-1 reboot, all mutliwindow mods. Changed the Spen detection sounds to ligh sabler, changed boot anmination to Andy's Pee On Apple, changed boot sound to Lexus ISF start up and engine rev, disable shut off animations, using only one homescreen page (no widgets), use the Trev E Mod WiFi tether beta 3.3 and folder mount.
I'm interested in the cyogenmod when it's out of alpha. I'm waiting for the mutliboot mod to get completed. It's getting closer on the international. BootManager on the Evo4G was the best app for flashaholics. You could have a daily and as many ROMs as your SD card could hold. I usually had three--barebones Sense rom, Cyogenmod (Android 2.3), and Cyogenmod (Android 4). Here and there I would have a forth or fifth to fiddle with.
The other rom I'm interested in trying out, and it's extremely early, is more of port of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've seen a couple screen shots, pretty sweet if you're into the mutlitwindow/mutlitask thing.
Right now, deoxidized stock meets my needs well. Nothing, other than Google Wallet, appears to be borked. And a few mods, I able to more.
My name is Jamice Welbon and I am a flashaholic I first introduced to flashing through my friend Treo Central.com he get me hooked flashing my Treo 600, 650, 700p and 710wp but soon after that treocentral.com was not cutting it for me so I tried ppc geeks. com and started flashing my touch pro 2.
I tried every windows ROM I could find and even experimented with some android. With the introduction of Windows phone and the stifled future future ROM development I knew I needed something stronger.
I went to Xda developers.com and started using Android on a regular bases. I first purchases the Samsung Epic then I tried the Epic Touch 4g and I am currently using the Galaxy Note 2. I have customized my boot animation (My Little Pony FIM), converted my phone into tablet mode, changed my font, added a hack version of Google Wallet, but I am currently using a non hack version since the Note 2 is now an official supported device. I have a hacked mod to remove the unsupported device message from Google Wallet since my device is rooted.
I am currently using a ROM which is half touch wiz and half stock Android. The dialer and contacts are stock Android. I even put a mod on my phone where I can customize the DPI for every app on my phone. I can even open up as many apps as I want and have them floating on my phone's desktop. I am fening for the Galaxy Note 3.
I am currently thinking about modding my shut down screen.
I need help and that is why I am on this forum. It has affected my job and my relationships in a negative way.

I too am a flashaholic and also pretty new to the phone
Speaking of which........
I have only had one rom on this phone and i love the phone! I am currently running maks allstar rom and i am ready to try another. I was looking around and saw that there are some floating window mods now! WOOHOOOO SOLD!
I looked around and found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139684
So I assume im on MA7 with my current rom whatever that is and I need to get MC2 roms for the floating windows?
The choice between 5 roms what ever shall i do? Does anyone have any suggestions? I like bling and great sound mods and all the bells and whistles including wifi tether and lightsaber spen effects!
It seems like there are alot of different versions of this phone. I assume im in the right spot with a sprint note 2? The mackrom allstars has been working great.
Thank you much!
Flashing adventure
So i ventured off to my flashing adventure. I first tried jelly 16.0 which was pretty awesome and the flash works in regular browser which is AWESOME but it didnt seem to have floating window. I tried installing the apk switcher thingie and it didnt even show up. I found the thread for the floating multi window installed it and nothing..... I flashed the sprint zip file for it and then the phone wouldnt boot.
I installed wolfpack and i still dont have floating windows...... i am going to install the apk next and will update my progress
Ok so im supposed to have a toggle icon which i dont and waiting for answer in the rom forum. Also the flash doesnt work in the desktop version of the browser something that worked in jellie rom 16.0 =(
Im running MacksRom (Plain Jane MA7) at the moment and have multiwindow desktop mod. It's in xposed settings.

So you just installed the mod from the thread? there is apk too do i need to install that?
Go into xposed app settings and change the "system settings" "screen dp" from default to 800x1280, select save then reboot.

No. It's a framework work. As mentioned above, you just need install the Xposed framework APK. I've used it on a deoxidezed MA7 stock rom. MC2 is just more performance tweaks and bug fixes.
Ok i understand more but now i lost multiview
i did the installer i activated the plugins in teh installer i set the resolution on android system to 1280x800 i have rebooted and no multiview now. i cant get it back =(
Moon, check your pm's.

I finally got it worked out
I checked out the OP in jellyroms post where it talks about installing the framework. I factory reset cleared caches dalvik etc and reflashed. Once flashed i did exactly what it said minus the downloading the items because they were alread in the rom. Now i have multiwindow. I didnt mess with the DPI though only set the resolution to 1280x800 and it works. I am scared to use the DPI changer though because although it looks really super cool. I lost the multiview doing it. I even tried setting the multiview to the same dpi. the com-flash whatever file and reboot still no luck... So it does work but im in regular phone resolution which isnt bad i guess because you dont have to mess with all the apps dpis etc? the internet built in was FC'n during my mess of flashing etc.....
Any ideas or suggestions on why i lost the multiview? I would like to change the dpi at some point but i dont want to factory reset (which is what i had to eventually do to get the multiview back anyway.
Thank you for all that put up with my frantic questions.
Glad you got it up and working!

[Q] Question about the 'people' app on Cyanogenmod 10.1 for Gio

Hello everyone,
Just a few days ago I decided to start looking into rooting and flashing my Gio with a newer software. Only to discover that there's an amazing community out there, still putting in time into improving everyone's experience even with old-ish low-end phones that the manufacturers have already kicked to the curb. Really amazing stuff!
Anyway, I grabbed a recent Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC from Jenkins and flashed it to my phone. It runs incredibly smooth and I'm very happy with the result.
The only thing that irks me is the contact manager app included, I think it's called 'People'. It keeps on forcing me to sync everything with my Gmail account. Now I know this is just how Android was designed to work and that in the case of my Gio, Samsung created their own dialer and contacts. Is there maybe an App or a possible future Cyanogenmod update that will allow me to simply store the contacts on my phone without linking it to anything else, like in the old Samsung contacts list I had on my Gio when it was stock?
Cheers in advance!
I'd like to sync it to Google because I like to flash ROMs so if I wiped my data, just login back to GAccount and ur contact will back
But if u don't like it, just disable auto sync from settings
