[Q] Stock ICS Email app on GS-II

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.

Android 4.2 camera/gallery ?

Has anybody been able to get 4.2 camera to work? I have found several apps and flashable zips. The best one for me is Camera/Gallery built from 4.2 AOSP for ARMv6 by KonstaT - modaco.com/topic/355903-devrom2411-cyanogenmod-10-android-412/page__st__2220
In my gio this gallery is fully functional with edit and stuff, but I can't do anything with camera.
Just in case when you flash konstaT-s gallery/camera app, it replaces stock gallery and camera so do backup.. every other camera/gallery apps I tried did not replace stock gallery and camera, but konstaT one did. So I'm kinda stuck on it
So can anyone help with getting this thing work on Gio?

We dont have 4.2 yet so why talk bout this..

Question about camera and clock apks from 4.2 aokp

Hey guys I am on the 4.1.2 ROM. I have the 4.2 gallery2.apk from the aokp release. Is this the only apk I need to put into /system to get all the functionality of the 4.2 camera and gallery? If not would it alone just allow me to take photos (I have other apps for panorama and HDR)
Also what is the rom app name on AOKP for the clock/alarm app on 4.2? I can't seem to find it under those names? Is it DeskClock.apk?

Yes, the clock should be deskclock.apk. If you search, there is a flashable 4.2 camera floating around. No promises of it working, since it wasn't designed to work with 4.1.2, but it's out there.

If anyone is reading this I had camera problems especially with msm_camera wakelock killing battery. Flashed the camera from Task's 4.2 and it works flawlessly.

AOSP vs TW camera

Been using TouchWiz since I got my phone (FreeGS3), now switched to LiquidSmooth (4.2.1), and it's awesome...
BUT, the photo quality on TW was MUCH better. So much that I think I'll switch back.
UNLESS anyone knows ... is there a camera app for AOSP that can match the quality of the TW camera?
Has anyone else noticed the inferior photos? Blurrier, less colorful, no HDR ...
And most idiotic of all, the whole "viewfinder" rotates from landscape to portrait ... which makes NO sense.
On a side note ... I wish someone would create a camera app like the HTC Evo 4G LTE where there are TWO buttons on the screen, one for photos, and one for video ... so that you don't have to switch apps!

Samsung's tw camera is the best...I have downloaded camera zoom fx and still the two camera is better by far...I wish there was an apk for the the tw camera on my aosp...all other cameras are slow

Porting the TW camera to AOSP is possible. The TW dependencies just have to be removed. I remember an old friend of mine posted a how to in the OG Epic forums... Might take a look and see if it's something I can poke into

That's what I thought as well.... However it doesn't appear that way.

This app is AOSP based and has two buttons for stills and video.

I believe photosphere only works on 4.1.x AOSP based ROMs and not 4.2.x AOSP ROMs...

I have it working on my phone running LiquidSmooth. I have the zip that I used but cannot find the xda thread that I got it from. I'm a little hesitant on posting it, because it's not my work, but I also want to help.
Here is a link to the file: 4CamNex2.zip
This is the stock camera for the Nexus. All you have to do is flash it in your Recovery (I used TWRP). It has a working photosphere, but is very limited in the settings you can change. For instance, I cannot choose the storage location or HDR or any of the fancy stuff that comes with the LiquidSmooth Rom. You can see my screenshots I just took to see what it looks like.
What I have done to mitigate these limitations is that I kept the LiquidSmooth camera. When I want to use Photosphere (which isn't too often), I use the Nexus Camera, and all other pictures are taken with the Stock LiquidSmooth camera. When I do things like set wallpaper, I have to choose my gallery (two cameras = two galleries), but it's not too much of an issue for me.
Hope this helps, and if anyone can find the original thread with this camera, let me know and I'll link it (and remove my dropbox link). I want to give props to whoever created it.

So are the pics quality better with this camera mod compared to whats in liquid smooth ??

[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
