I recently just go rid of my Galaxy note which was running CM9 kang hotw1r3 ROM for the S3. i loved the apps and the theme and was wondering if there is anyway to find out what apps hotw1r3 was running in that ROM, if they were compatible with the S3, and is it just as simple as moving one to the other folder for the apps. i checked through the threads but didn't find anything. and sorry if this is a dumb question/or already been covered but I'm new to android, from iphone and we all know how that story plays out.

Hey all...thanks for looking and possibly answering. Heres my question. The one and only thing I do not like about my Evo is the contacts app. and the dialer. I came over from the iphone and the best thing on it was the combination of the dialer and the contacts, call log and favorites all within one application. I was at best buy and noticed that on a Samsung fascinate the STOCK contacts app is exactly what I have been missing. I found a couple stock apk files for a samsung moment and fascinate from another forum and tried to install on my evo and they would not install. So..guess what my question is...why wont they install? Are they locked so you cant install on different phones? If yes...is there a way around this. Or simply...how do I get the stock contacts apk from a samsung to my Htc evo?
My Evo is rooted
PS...I have spent countless hours searching for this type of contacts app that has everything I want in the market..it does not exist, so please please dont reply look in the market for something similar. I am looking to put this exact stock samsung app on my Evo.
Thanks everyone!
Most of the time these "stock" apps are odexed files, I would suggest getting the system.img file from the phone/rom that has the dialer app you want and extract the odex file AND the apk file for the dialer then run it through an apk deodex script(I'm on a MacBook), then try to install it. Not promising this will work, but give it a shot and if it doesn't pan out politely ask a dev if they can port it, XDA is full of helpful and willing devs, as long as you aren't an ass about it like some people are, let me know if this helps!

+1..... I'd like to see this ported over. I had a Samsung Captivate and I miss my contacts app much better than what I have on Evo.

Anyone had luck on this? I just upgraded to s5 from s2 and want the stock memo widget from s2 installed onto the s5 as the s5 widget can't go smaller than 4x1.
You might have better luck asking in the Samsung forums. The most recent post prior to yours was over three years ago and it doesn't seem that anyone has an answer, that, and the OP was looking for a way to use an app from a non-HTC device on a HTC phone.

Hi,
NOOB, apologies if the below is stupidly worded.
Messed around with Cyanogen 9 and 10 but not a fan of it.
Thinking of just flashing the original Samsung stock ROM but people told me there are ROM's out there that are a deviation of the stock ROM but have a few tweaks, not sure if this actually exists or not. (I'm a noob to rooting). I see in this forum dozens of "stock" ROM's, so not sure exactly where to find one that just has the below:
Original Camera app
Original Video player app
S-Voice
NO Rogers bloatware
No Samsung bloatware (besides S-Voice, which I don't consider bloatware)
I know these are Samsung / TouchWiz features so I am not sure if it's possible to find a ROM that has these.
Basically I was pretty happy with my GS3 before I rooted it. The only thing I hated was the carrier/samsung bloatware bogging down system resources. I'd rather keep it on (basically) the stock ROM for now if it means retaining the original TouchWiz video/camera/s-voice apps.
Any idea if this is possible?
Nunhuggers T2 is great and has what your looking for.
Next time don't post questions in development forum, use Q and A.
Edit... T2 Doesn't have s-voice. I thought the Google voice search was much better.

I'm liking Ariel right now
edit: you can pick and choose what Samsung apps you want too
thanks guys
keep the suggestions coming.
This does not belong in development. If you want Samsung features, use a Samsung based rom. You need to research this yourself. No one is here to spoon feed you.
LOL @ "No One is here to spoon feed you" riiiiiiiight.
You could literally take any stock based ROM here, and use Titanium Backup to remove bloatware and then reinstall S-voice if needed.
So basically just flash the stock ROM for my carrier, and then in Titanium I could remove the bloatware carrier/Samsung apps/.apks I don't want (but leave S-Voice), and it should run run stable?
SORRY FOR THE N00B QUESTIONS, haven't used Titanium yet. For some reason you guys in Developer seem to be more responsible to this then those in Q&A.
Thanks.

Hi,
just got myself first, proper Android device.
My Lumia has been passed on to my spouse and I am trying to get familiar with the system and device.
As you can imagine, after using iPad and recently Lumia I do feel a bit lost and overwhelemd by the amount of options, menus and submenus
As right now I am trying to dig through tons of posts, pages here and on other sites. Not an easy task to get to the essential information.
Perhaps you can help me be hinting some shortcuts or giving straight through answers?
My S3 is not branded and unlocked but not rooted, runnind Android 4.1.1
1. How do I get Flash working in Chrome?
2. How do I get Market Enabler app on it?
All my tries and downloads has not been succesful so far
Congrats on getting a gs3!
But this is the sprint forums not the international. To get flash to work in chrome I think you have to be rooted and use root explorer to push adobe apk into the right folder and set permissions

Why didn't I get the Jelly Bean Update?
So, I rooted my phone a couple months ago. I have gotten 3 OTA updates since with no problem. However, I notice that my wife's un-rooted s3 is now running Jelly Bean. My son's s3 is running Jelly Bean. Why hasn't my s3 been updated as well. What do I need to do to get it up to date.
Hella!
As the title says, my question is about the new features of the S4. Since the system has been dumped out by Sammobil, im kinda sure that some of us started to port apps, and features from that. I've seen working S-healt in Galaxy S3 section as well. (Tryed, it doesnt work in our device yet) So I'd like to ask, is it possible to get those eye related features from S4?
Hey hey,
Coming from Nexus devices with pure AOSP roms I've never realized how much I took this feature for granted. On the S4 if you misspell a word it won't show up with a red underline which would usually give you an option to tap and see suggestions. This is entirely different than autocorrect (after hitting space) on a keyboard which can be accomplished with latinime or any other jellybean keyboard. I've read Samsung had to remove it for some patents regarding Apple.
Upon reading threads for the s3 and note 2 it seems that this is something that can be done by editing two files secsettings.apk & framework2.jar which is information I came across in this thread for the note2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34829337#post34829337
Does anyone think this same process might work on our S4 as well? Or is there another proven mod already to get the dearly beloved red underlines back?
Not sure if anyone has figured this out yet. I admit it's the one thing that bothers me after moving from iPhone to Android. I flashed the 4.3 Google edition ROM to see if there was any difference but unfortunately it's still lacking. The improved keyboard/autocorrect has made things more tolerable, however I've still missed some misspellings in my work e-mails
With CM 10.2 nightlies out I may be switching soon, but I'm curious if anyone has come up with a solution.

This feature is a part of the keyboard.apk rather than the phone itself. There are dozens of alternate keyboards on the Play store. Many have the redlining feature. You don't even have to be rooted to replace the keyboard
