Is it possible, if so how, to install Samsung apps from stock rom to a custom rom? Specifically, S Calendar from stock (4.4.2) to CM13. The gapps version of calendar does not provide the ability to copy an appointment/task (ie. a Dr appointment has occurred now you get a reschedule).
Would like to be able to carry all the apps using the S Pen (S Note, etc) to CM13, is this possible? To have Cyanogen recognize when the pen is removed and ready to be used?
I hope I conveyed my thoughts....
Thanks in advance
From what I have read, these Samsung apps require kernel and will not work on aosp, caf, or cm kernels.

hi there,
i just flashed my galaxy s2 from 2.3.6 to custom CRODO ROM and i was a little bit confused because there is just the old samsung calendar available...and not the new shiny ics calendar from google.
is there a way to download the ics stock calendar or did i miss something while installing the custom crodo rom?
thanks for helping!
-Diversion
did you ever resolve this issue? I am having the same problem with my Galaxy S 2.
Try flashing a AOSP rom like Slim ICS 3.0. When you flash a custom from that's based on any samsung rom, you will get the ugly Samsung/touchwiz calendar. I've tried installing the Android calendar on a Samsung based rom, but got a lot sync issues.
An AOSP rom gives a clean, slick 'google' look and feel.

Ok, Itried this method and it worked.
I downloaded AOSP calndar from Wanamlite.
before installing the .zip file, I made a whole backup using Titnium backup. Then I installed .zip file.
After Rebooting I've restored the application named:
[CALENDAR] Calendar Storage 4.0.3-****
where **** is ROM version (for me it is XWLP3).
If you check sync section you would see that Calendar Option is back again.
P.S. I'm not sure. but I guess this method will only work on Official and official-based ICS Roms
I am considering rooting my device. However, I only want the Android 4.2 stock SMS app that handles MMS group messaging and emoji. Would that be possible to install it without rooting (preferable, like how you can install a stock keyboard without rooting)?
If I have to root, what's the best ROM? I'd want one that is vanilla and can handle MMS groups and emoji, and is extremely stable.
Or would this be possible on a Touchwiz-based ROM, so I can keep the Samsung features (S-beaming, popup player, etc).
If I can do it without rooting, or by keeping the Touchwiz-based ROM, where can I find the stock SMS app?
i dont think you can get 4.2 message app without rooting your phone
and for roms
there are a lot of roms, can't really say which is the best, everyone has different op
but for me it's either cm or aokp
Hi,
I really like the stock email (allowing different polling times for peak / off-peak and the overall usability) as well as the stock calendar and the wifi calling feature.
I do afraid that if I'll install any new ROM (say 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 based ROMs) I will loose those stock apps. I understand that I will need the "Stock Samsung Framework" so something similar to that?
Is there a way to download those apps from somewhere? and also - what will I need to remove from the system folder before I install (or overwrite) with the stock apps?
Thanks,
Gil.
There is no official 4.2.2 for samsung devices yet. Specially like our s 3.
The feature you mentioned are Touch Wiz based ROm feature. If you install 4.2.2 then you will loose all those. And there is no way you can install those on any AOSP based ROM or CM or AOKP.

Thanks Bikrame,
I just wish someone could create a ZIP installer that installs only Touchwiz on top of other ROMs; I know that there was one for ICS on the SGS3 but I could not find any for JB...

Does anyone know if I can flash a ROM, like AOKP, then flash touchwiz message app and/or touchwiz contacts app with it? Similar to flashing a ROM, then flashing gapps with it...
Knowledge, please

Don't think it's possible. TW components are highly dependent on the framework. I have heard however, you can flash or add AOSP components such as messaging, contacts, phone, ect to a Touchwiz based ROM.
I wish you could! The absolute only 2 reasons i tend to stick with touchwiz, are the calander full month widget....never found one on play store quite the same, free one anyway.....and I stick with it for call blocking! Probably apps for that, but like the touchwiz one better than some I've tried.

Hello All!
I just want to clear some of my basic doubts before I flash ROMs in my GN2. So, here goes:
Is it right that custom ROMs donot have some of the Samsung proprietary features such as Air View, Smart Rotation, Smart Stay, etc.? and
Are kernels also flashed in the same way as the ROMs are i.e., .zip flash via Recovery?
Thanks!

Hi,
1.) It is possible.
2.) Yes
1) yes, cyanogenmod rom paranoid rom will Disable Samsung applications, but there are still so many roms, like Android revolution HD, Crash rom ( I'm currently using now) , just google " the best custom rom for galaxy note 2" , those roms keep all of Samsung features + many system tweaks. Just try them.
2) exactly yes
Here, I'd like to advice to back your stock rom before flashing a custom rom. This is very important to recover your phone in case something went wrong

ALL TW ROMS have these options s whereas Aosp don't
Yes the same way to flash the kernel

Your question has been answered already but I would like to explain a bit more for others who can be confused with all this.
There are 4 kinds of custom ROM available.
TW (stock Samsung)
AOSP( Pure Google Android) Won't have any of the Samsung features
AOKP( Based on AOSP but with some more features) Won't have any of the Samsung features but they got the S-pen working.
MIUI (Chinese version of Android with very different style than others) ?????? not sure
ROMs and Kernels comes in 2 formats. ZIP and TAR.
If it's a ZIP file, you flash it in recovery using CWM, TWRP or PHIL.
If it's a TAR file, you need to put your phone in Download Mode and flash it with ODIN.
Custom ROM' almost always come in ZIP(never seen one using TAR but it's not impossible)
Official Samsung ROM almost always come in TAR files
Hope it helps.
