I recently updated my phone to Eugene's Franken-Twiz. After doing so, I went to use my calculator to find out that the one used in this rom (stock calculator?) is severely lacking in functionality. I tried download the .zip of Vibrant apps, but there wasn't a calculator listed. Does anyone have the calculator.apk?
There is one there. The Touchwiz calculator is named TouchwizCalculator.apk. In order for it to show up though it has to be deodexed. You should download the deodexed rom that's out there and pull it out.

Thanks! It was sneakily hiding under the TouchWiz title.

Is there any way to get the launcher2.apk for slayher's most recent cm7? I'm assuming that the .apk that is floating around does not work on every device?
Not really sure what you are looking for, bit cm7 uses a slightly modified version of adw launcher free (get it from the market)
That is its only launcher.
If you are looking for something else, download the zip and extract it. Its all there

A few quick questions.
1) Can any of you guys shed light on how to extract some of the original apps from our Samsung Fascinate?
2) Would apps (such as Phone Dialer or Calendar) work without the Touchwiz framework in place?
The reason I ask is because I am on Cynaogenmod and am loving everything about it, but the stock calendar sucks hard, and even though I've switched to using Go Dialer, I still like the speed and cleanliness of the original Dialer that came with our phone.
Super File Manager can extract apk files. Don't know if you can install them in CM7. Go under apk manager in Super Manager.

Ive been trying this for a while and i was wondering if somebody may be able to help i wanted to port the touch wiz mms.apk and phone.apk to ICS just for the fact that i like the layout and look of them. i tried to push them with root explorer and no luck and also just doing a straight up install and still a no go any help would be appreciated.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe you have to have touchwiz framework for them to work.
Most of the samsung specific apk only work with the touchwiz framework so your kinda out of luck for now util the sgs2's update gets ported in the future

Vibranturk has added some tw in his last release of docs. Might be able to push them on it.

Here is a modified stock AT&T Contacts.apk file without the permanent Yellow Pages contact at the top. The is for rooted users only.
Replace the Contacts.apk in /system/app using Root Explorer. Change it's permissions to RW-R--R--. Reboot!
WARNING: Do not use this for any custom ROMs, only for use on a stock AT&T ROM! Also, remember to make backups...
Funny, I never even noticed the YP thingy on the top of my contacts till now. How lame. When I clicked on it, I got a force close. I must have already frozen whatever that button links to...
Thanks, maybe that apk can be swapped out for the stock one in our custom rom(s)...

Awesome work!! This is verified working.
Niceeeee. Like to see dev work like this. Great work. This should maybe be in the themes and apps section though. Not a criticism.
How obnoxious of them to stick that YP in the contacts ?
Thanks, I tried posting in dev but it said not enough posts . I remove the yp app and mine force closed also when clicking the contact. It's crazy how much bloat ware came on this thing. I'd like to see a stock Samsung contacts.apk to see what else they hacked up
So just did this and now Contacts is missing from my app drawer and it wont launch from my launcher tray......... and I cant make calls the phone shortcut is gone.....
You need to restart the phone...

I've rebooted multiple times. I tried again same deal not sure what the issue is. I'm on TPC's v2 ROM not sure if that would cause any issue.

I have it, PM me you email addy I'll mail it over to you. I would upload it but I'm at work right now.
I haven't tested this on any of the custom ROMs, only the stock AT&T ROM. I'm not sure what they did with their Contacts.apk file. If you upload the one from your ROM, I can see if I can make the same mods that I did to the AT&T one.
Didn't work for me either, and also copied it over stock apk and don't have a backup. Using TPC V2 ROM. Any one have stock Contacts.apk for that rom?

Using Go Contacts EX from the market for now. It's a little much, but works for good as a replacement for stock.
Looked over in the dev section- will probably be flashing a new ROM soon anyway

Thanks Keith. I'll give it a try when I get back.
No problem.....I also have a 'dark' version of the stock sms apk (got it somewhere here on xda) if you want to try it instead.......

I don't know how to explain it, but I want the MMS apk like the one shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/deviceForum/screenshots/1055/20130327T094824.jpg
Is the one you gave me the same one, but appears different on my phone because I'm running CM?
Ah....I don't think the stock mms apk will work on CM as the apk needs the touchwiz framework in order to function.....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
not sure what touchwiz is, but I'm guessing there is no workaround or way to get the stock mms apk to install on CM roms?
Thanks for your help Keith. Appreciate it!
Touchwiz is the Samsung launcher. It is what gives Samsung phones their look and feel....the user framework of the device. Porting parts of that framework to non Samsung ROMs simply will not work.......
As an alternative, you could look for apps in the themes and apps section for an app which has been made to look like 'stock' but which functions on a non stock ROM......
Or....
You could go for a whole new ROM..... one of the 'hybrid' ones.....a stock based ROM but without the bloat and with aosp/aokp functionality. I've used two and am still using one of them....chamelion and aliance.....I'm not going to recommend either as that's against XDA rules, but both of them will let you download themes and tweaks that let you customize the look of the base ROM so that it can resemble (or not) the full stock package........
