Hey guys,
i was looking for some AOSP apps that would work on modified FROYO 2.2 Roms.
In particular am looking for the calendar, market, and calculator apps. Any suggestions on were i can find them, or can they be posted?
Thanks!
I could be wrong, but couldnt you just dl CM6 and pull it out of there?

Has anyone done this yet? Curious if the calendar has the same "white bar bug" that 2.1 has... I still havent figured out how to get rid of the bar. I know eugene's ROMs that had the aosp calendar had it fixed, but I am basically running a "stock" rom with my own "tweaks" and I tried his calendar and it didn't work for some reason.
I am not sure if all the CM AOSP apps will work. A lot of them are modified and could require framework-res changes that may not exist.
I can't seem to find where to get themes for Chingy's ROM, any suggestions?
You can try his site...maybe he has some there

For whatever reason his ROM is odexed (pointless imo) so it makes more work for themers, thus why there isnt themes for it.
Okay, thanks a lot for the info guys, I didn't know if I was just completely missing something.
Anybody knows if this works on the Atrix?

Many developers tried to deblur stock ROM on the Atrix and always ran into problems. Blur is very deeply integrated, meaning it's easier to compile an AOSP rom than deblur the official rom. And that's exactly what developers are doing at the moment.
See the CM7 thread.
On so many levels I can't wait to see the final "official" version of CM7 and compare it to the stock...
The biggest problem with Blur is that it is all the way down into the framework and if you start removing stuff, some of the "markers" will be broken. AOSP is the best way to deBlur but until then you can always install a semi deblurred custom ROM and freeze what you don't need. That's what I've done and in day to day tasks it feels like an AOSP ROM (sorta). Unless you drill down into settings, you wouldn't know my phone was running Blur at all.
oh... interesting. I guess I'll wait for CM7
New owner of an SG2, which I'm liking so far. Am coming from N1 Cyanogenmod.
At present I've rooted my phone and am running the stock rom with Launcher Pro.
I'm liking a bunch of the features of the stock rom (well trying them out) and am deciding whether I keep the stock rom or move to a custom rom.
I do have a few questions about the stock rom, which I wonder can be answered here:
- With the pull down menu you have the options of wifi, bluetooth etc in the status bar. Is there anyway of changing these options (for example want to remove bluetooth).
- With the dialler, once I make a call it goes into a screen with a bunch of options, like, save contact, etc. Is there anyway of avoiding this screen and going straight to home? (incidentally you are given the option of "voice call". Is this something provided by your network or another service?)
- Autorotate. Is it possible to NOT have it working on the homescreen, but available in your apps?
In relation to custom rom, what do you guys reckon is as close to stock as possible, but with a bit more customisation. I'm guessing a custom rom would be able to deal with most of my queries.
1) majority of roms have that bar modified where you can slide it across and have upto 12 triggers, although you can't really remove them. However with cm7 and miui you can customize that bar to your hearts content.
2) no idea
3) look in the launcher pro settings, you should be able to set it there so it doesn't auto rotate
Give cm7 a try.

Cheers mate. Was using CM7 fine with my N1, guess just wanted to mix it up a bit. There are a bunch of features I do like about the stock rom though.
I'll run it for another week and then may give MIUI a go.
Checkout jkay mods and themes for stock roms in the theme section.
Can do basically what you want Plus more.
Also many launchers (home screens) can set whether to auto rotate. Set it to off in launcher and leave the system auto rotate on.

Thanks, will have a play with the custom themes.
Also, I presume, if I install MIUI or Cyanogenmod, I could still install the Samsung specific apks?

No, you can not install any Samsung apps on CM. (May be you're thinking you like the stock browser so you want to use it on CM, but you can not).

Sorry for the newb qustions, but is this because of the ROM itself?

Cheers mate. I note you are using GingerMod, may give that a try as it seems to be the AOSP, with the ability to add certain TW apps.

Yes. CM7 and MIUI are build from scratch and doesn't contain anything related to Samsung. So unlike stcok based custom roms, these two roms doesn't support Samsung apps.

Well, the reason you wanted to try is exactly the reason why so many users love GingerMod rom. It has some good apps from Samsung, like the gpu accelerated browser, camera app, fm radio. Rest 95 % is aosp.
So it's pure google experience,no Samsung bloatware, and we can still enjoy some of the real good apps Samsung made.

heh, would love a cyan-samsung bastard child port. If only I had the skills to do that.
Love the ability with Cyan to tweak a whole bunch of settings, but am liking quite a few of the Samsung apps.
Will look into GingerMod as it may be a good compromise.

There is one more reason why i personally like GingerMod.
It is 99% (or 100%) bug free. Infact, i find it more stable than any official firmware.
I know it's possible, but how do I go about putting the CM7 rings lockscreen in stock? i.e. what lines do I need to code in what file, images I need to replace, etc.?
i also have a CM7 ROM zip for another phone with the same specs on my computer for comparison if it's going to be helpful at all.
i hate bumping up a thread, but does anyone know?
You can use widgetlocker in combination with an app that removes your lockscreen.
EDIT: You can also use UOT kitchen.
Widgetlocker doesn't have the CM7 rings...
and I would like to put it into the framework of my ROM.
does somebody know how to do this?
