[Q] M8 Stock apps on custom ROM - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I tried looking around but couldn't find a solution but i have a custom ROM and i wanted to install a few stock apps like the remote app and the power saving app because i was used to them, where can i find them and install them?

You can see if they are ported to aosp by browsing the themes and apps section.... But as a rule, apps made for Sense require the Sense framework to function. So sense based roms should have the apps, or at least you could manually install them.
As far as finding them, some may be on the play store, or you can wait for someone to upload them for you. ?

Hi, thank you for the reply, yes i can now agree with you that i need a sense based ROM to have the stock apps working because they are available on the play store and you can install the app but when you run it, it refuses and says unsupported device.
Thanks for this

[Q] Google Addons

What exactly is Google Addons?
The market
Sent from my Vision using XDA Premium App
The Google Apps? You need them so you're apps function correctly, gmail, market, ect. Needed to be flashed up your first installation of a gingerbread rom. If you mean when you first boot up your phone, just extra apps you can install if you want.
The Google Apps addon is a flashable ZIP which contains the files for the Android Market, Google Talk, Google Sync, and other back-end files and libraries needed for Google applications from the Market, like those that allow for C2DM (push notifications).
They aren't included in CyanogenMod and other similar ROMs due to Google throwing a hissy fit back in CM4, saying that CM could be used to port those applications to devices which don't come with Google Apps, despite the fact that there are no such devices currently in development, let alone back then.
Ok so if I'm installing any AOSP ROM's then I need to install the Google Addon's as well. But this is not needed with any Sense ROM's. Thanks all!

MIUI apps on other roms?

I had to flash another rom because some things didnt work for me, but its a much nicer looking rom...especially the apps. Can you install say the file explorer/manager app onto Cognition?
If so, it would be good to collect them in one post!

[Q] Question about CyanogenMod 7.2

Hi all,
I'm a beginner in the world of smartphone, but i'm interested by installing a custom ROM on my phone, especially CyanogenMod 7.2.
But i saw that apart from ROM, there is also custom Kernel...
My question is: If il install CyanogenMod 7.2 by phiexz, i have to install also the custon kernel developed by himself? Or his kernel is included with the rom?
Thanks you and sorry for my bad english
The kernel is included in the rom, you don't need to install it again.

Thanks you very much!
The kernel is simply for other Roms. Supposedly, you can use the kernel with the stock Rom, but i could never get it working.
Also, before you go flashing roms, get yourself a copy of Clockworkmod Recovery. It's saved my bacon more than once.

You should probably create a new thread for this question, as it doesn't have any relation to the original post... Makes it far easier to keep track of issues, and help provided.

It is just you.
At least widgets are working for me (didn't try that "3d weather" one, but others are working fine).
Make sure you didn't force install it to SD - widgets and launchers won't work when placed to SD.

HTC Desire Official Gingerbread Sense ROM (some edited)

i have light edited a ROM, from the Official Gingerbread Sense 2.1 from Neophytex360
i would make eith other members a installable ROM for the Desire, why?
the ROM from Neophytex360 is old has the old market and apps that is not usable for young peoples. or have too many widgets and apps
the target of the ROM is to make an updated and simplyfi ROM for young peoples
only remove old apps and add new apps
for example: removed friendstream + widget, appsharer, footprints, stocks,
and update market to play store.
is this interesting to start to create the ROM ?
than i would uploading my editet Backup ROM, but sorry this is not for install or ?! i dont know ow grab the ROM from the phone
sorry for my bad english, im german
Go ahead and upload in the dev section. People who want to try will give it a shot.
By the way, two major problems with the stock ROM were low internal memory and the lock screen that used to unlock while pulling the phone out of the pocket.
If you can address these Iam sure there would be many takers.
Good luck!

To "extract" your rom, just copy "system" and whatever you need with root explorer and paste them on your sdcard.

You could've posted in other threads as well.

Extract Apps from any ROM

Hello,
So I have a question, but first let me explain why I want to know. I have been trying to find a barebones ROM, as far away from Google and Cyangine Mod as possible, which is nearly impossible. I have tried many ROMs and found some apps I like and would like to use on a personal custom ROM. How do I extract apps, like the gallery from DU ROM and use it on other ROMS. Is there a certian Lib/Lib64 file needed to use it, or any other files?
