So is there a way to get Stock Samsung ICS Apps over to Custom Rom Jelly Beans? Such as the Calender, Camera, Memo, Calculator and Clock? Maybe through backup or file drop method? Thanks.
For some, you can download the .apk file and install it. I believe the SGS3 forum has their newer TW apps for download somewhere.
Should be able to use Titanium backup to do it, might only be the paid version not entirely sure. Well worth the $ though if you don't already have it.

I think it's not impossible. Stock apps require Touchwiz and specific.framework to be functional. JB Custom roms dont have those things.

Anyone have an APK for it?
*Or if the Jellybean one will work on ICS I'll try that as well*
I am tired of the touchwiz one and want a stock apk.. But don't want to go full stock because of the other features.

Explains how to replace TouchWiz apps with stock ICS. I will say I have not done this on the H9 update though. I do not think these work on Jellybean based ROMs either. I tried to install the pure ICS messenger app in a stock based jellybean rom and it did not work.

On a side note ... me messing around after I found a ICS APK... putting it into the app folder with a root explorer and then rebooted seemed to work..
I didn't do anything but that heh
Only thing now is I don't see a option to turn it black for the background ..

That is what the thread I linked explains how to do. It gives APK for most ICS apps and explains the problems that users have ran into with them and how to back up the stock TouchWiz apps if you want to restore them. I have no idea how you would go about changing the background color but there is probably information in the Themes and Apps section of the forums.

hi,
as it's stated in the title, Is there any way to replace Samsung's contacts app with stock ICS/JB People app on our SGNII?
Thank you.
Similar question: Is it possible to get the stock ICS/JB messaging app on the SGNII?
I tried installing an mms.apk from an old CM10 rom I had for my sgs2 but it kept saying that it was replacing a system app and would fail, but when I looked in system/app I couldn't find another mms.apk
still waiting for an answer ...

For me ICS apps work well on JB. Must not be a problem.
Has any one tried the unreleased Gmail 4.2 on a GNex? I am running MMuzzy's 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on a Verizon LTE and would like to try it.

Yes..I'm even running it on 4.1.1 Stock JellyBean

Yeah it works flawlessly. You just gotta replace the apk from system app folder with the 4.2 version because the signature is different

Thanks all. I will give it a try.

Just back up and uninstall gmail using TiBU, then install apk like you would anyother, no need to go through the hassle of hunting down all associated files in /data and /system/app

Well if you do that, the app will become user app, not system app. I don't know about you, but I personally would rather have Gmail system app then user app
I've have it installed for couple of days on 4.1.2 - without any issues. Like the pinch to zoom and swipe to delete..
This is a very stupid question but can you flash gapps 4.2 on a touchwiz based rom? I'm running Blackjelly rom and would like to flash either 4.1.2 or 4.2 apps, is that possible or will they keep crashing?

I highly doubt it. I don't think gapps will work on touchwiz.

Some might work I flashed the 4.2 camera/ gallery from mega thread and it works fine for me. I'm on ics 4.0.4 tw

Another question
I have another question about G apps. Instead of having to flash the G-apps, is it alright to restore the app only from a backup app like Titanium backup from an older ics rom. Or will this cause any kind of problem?
I'm pretty sure it would work but it'll have duplicates in the system folder so you'll have to manually delete that
I am using several 4.2 apps (gmail, keyboard, Playstore, camera) on TW ICS and they work just fine. I usually use the stock camera because as far as I can find, 4.2 camera does not allow external storage. I'm guessing this is connected to Nexus 4 not having external storage. Maybe mods will be made as 4.2 becomes available for other devices.
Could you please post the link to the forum where you got the gapps from?
