I really love some Deodexed ROMs like Spike's Pure ICS and others but a very ordinary problem related to them all is that they remove ALL SAMMYS apps... and I wanted to know if there is a way to put some of them back... I just can't give up Samsung DIVE and Social Hubs... so is there any way to put those apps back (only these two)????
Thks
P.S. I know there are alternatives to the sansung dive but I just don't trust third part apps to locate my phone
Does Dive work on this leaked beta test rom is what i would check .
If apps have been removed then Dev often links to the apps removed .
I know there are alternatives to the sansung dive but I just don't trust third part apps to locate my phone
I would not trust an unreleased firmware not to have security holes full stop .
jje
Yes sansung dive is working great with XXLPB i'm using this leaked beta right now
No if you check spike's pure ics topic you'll find out he hadn't put links for the removed apps...
Yes agree it may have security holes but it its far more trustable because it comes from SAMSUNG, not some unknown developer...
Anyway... I think I'll try in the outhor's topic
Thanks for ya help JJ Egan

Try different dialers. There are a ton in the market. As far as I know, you can't change this behavior in the default dialer on a stock Samsung firmware.
Sounds like you want it to work like an iPhone. I'm not trying to be combative, but if that's so, why did you get rid of your iPhone?
You could always try installing MIUI, that ROM seems popular with ex-iPhone users.
The only way to get what you are talking about is to root your phone and install a custom ROM that is themed to how you like and has different mods to change things such as the dialer.These things cant be changed if they are stock.There are enough ROMs around to suit everyone.The hardest part is finding the one you like.

Take this for what it's worth... you're entering dangerous territory. You said yourself you are new to Android. Installing ROMs is not trivial, or something that should be taken lightly. I see more threads than I can count started by people who need help getting their phone working again because they blindly started flashing stuff when they really had no need.
And your only complaint at the moment is how the dialer functions. Why don't you slow down, and try out some dialer apps from the market? There are a ton of free ones. I know I suggested the MIUI ROM above, but I think this is better advice.
Lastly, ICS is still not officially released. Any ICS ROM out there right now is either based on a leak (and therefore full of bugs and is probably less than stable), or really a Gingerbread ROM themed to look like ICS.

i try for some dialer, and i wait for official ics for s2

ICS is still in beta stage and giving advanced users problems so if you dont want to root and flash a custom ROM(GB not ICS) them maybe on the market you can find a 3rd party launcher while you wait.
Hi all,
I have just installed lightning rom 2.5 and I have noticed that under both Phone and Contacts, there are missing tabs.
e.g.
Under Phone, the contacts tab is missing. I used to be able to slide to the right for more tabs.
How do I go about adding more tabs?
I tried searching but every time I add the word "tab" I get the Samsung Galaxy Tablet threads instead.
Also, under Security, the "SIM Change Alert" and "Remote controls" doesn't seem to be working, every time I tried checking the box, it freezes for awhile and then it says the setup has stopped working.
I wanted to post this in the lightning rom thread, but there's a 10 post restriction, and as such, I am posting here.
I hope someone can kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know about remote control or sim change alert, but it is a well known change in ICS that those tabs are removed purposely, in their infinite wisdom. I don't agree with it, but it is what it is. One of the many reasons I'm staying on Gingerbread until find an overwhelming reason to go to ICS.
So if this ROM is ICS based, that's your answer.

Ya, will do.
Interestingly enough, My Samsung Nexus S is on ICS as well, but it has contacts in the phone app.

That's cause Nexus S is running AOSP android, and Galaxy S series (including the GS2) runs TouchWiz, which Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, have modded to their liking.
Edit to add: Lite'ning ROM is based on Samsung stock, so it uses the same system apps. This will hold true for any ROM based on Samsung stock, unless the ROM chef changes out specific apps, like the phone in this case.

Thanks for the clarification. I am new to android and have been reading up on how to root/flash custom Rom on my TF201, SG2 and NS one by one. Took me several hours of reading and searching, but I have managed to get them all rooted/flashed without bricking any of them
This forum is loaded with heaps of info, but sometimes it's a bit hard to search for some specific stuff;the 10 post limitation on custom rom threads make it hard for me to ask for help from the author.
Just wondering... if S2's lite'ning ROM is based on Samsung stock (non AOSP), how do people change out specific apps?

You need to be rooted, and you replace certain apk files in the /system/app folder. But you need to be certain to use files compatible with your particular build of Android.

I also had this problem. Found the fix on the Litening rom forum under Problems and questions.
I would link the page to you but since i am a new user, i am unable to lol.
Basically there is a zip file that u can flash which lets u add a samsung account and enables the remote settings features. ive tried it on litening rom 2.5 and it worked for me

Ah, cool, thanks for the link.
Going to flash to 2.7 first. I hope I don't have to do clear it to factor settings again.
I am not entirely sure if this is an original request in here, or if it even belongs in here, so please dont kill me if I am wrong, just advise me whar to do next...
But, I am currently running DaGr8's ICS Aplha 2 rom, and noticed that the allshare app is missing, as well as a few others... Now I am also not entirely sure that these apps will work in this scenario, but if they will, or if they can be made to work, that would be awesome... i have also noticed that the photo editor appears to be missing, both of these apps are ones that I use pretty heavily, and would feel a bit more comeplete if I had them, but if they wont work on ICS, then they won't and I will just have to wait til the official OTA hits.
***Edit: if someone IS able to fullfill this request, would you be able to make a zip flashable in CWM for all apps, and then I can just peacemeal them myself through TiBu?

I'll second that request! if only for the photo editor that came stock with the i717.
I put a request in the NOOB forum and haven't heard anything yet...
I'm on stock deodexed 4.1.2.
I do have the Samsung apps on my phone, I don't know how to extract them for you, but the Photo Editor in particular is a crippled version without the features of the one that came with the phone on Android 2.3.6

Here is the Samsung PhotoEditor that works with I717 4.1.2. Just install like a normal app.

After doing a bit of searching I think we're looking for a file called "com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching-1.apk" with a size of 10-12MB but I haven't confirmed this yet or tested it, downloading a version I found right now...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/auvwb5sjr3ee82b/com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching-1.apk
The one I posted is 12mb, integrates with photo gallery and has Spen edit support. I think the photo retouching apk is what it was called on GB & ICS.

Thanks for the quick help, unfortunately both of the links are for similar versions of the same apk, and are not the one I was looking for.
I don't even know for sure if the editing I was doing was on the stock image editor, but the app allowed the use of a magic wand to select areas of a photo, transform the area to resize an object and fill any voids left by shrinking, etc...
I can't find anything on the market or Samsung market so I thought maybe it was left off of Samsungs updated image editor?

I was like you guys and tried searching for the app. I found a few, installed them but they only partially worked. Even on the stock 4.1.2 they weren't fully functional.

Making place holder topics is against forum rules. You either have to release the source code for your modded apps or release the actual modded apps.

Hi,
i want to swap to a AOSP based rom but i want to be able to take some samsung apks with me... is this at all possible?
the ones i want are:
Dialer (Phone)
Alarm clock
Samsung memo
Gallery
Calculator
Web Browser
fm radio
txt message apk
Most (or all) of these apps require touchwiz framework, so the answer is yes and no.
Yes, if you take also the Samsung's Touchwiz launcher and some libraries (jut enough for these apps to work), but then, that defeats the purpose of going to AOSP.
No, not if you don't want Samsung touchwiz at all.
im sure ive seen people using samsungs camera on AOSP and also "s memo"... :S have they had coding changed to be ported or something?
if so does anyone have any idea if any of the apks ive mentioned have also been ported??
thanks guys really apreciate the help
this forum used to be a lot more helpful :/...
anyway, ive managed to find SOMETHING
there are some ported apks linked below - in case anyone else has the same question as me and maybe sees this thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632639
anyone have any other information about other apks or updates please let me know
You can use this mod to run samsung camera on CM10/AOSP

You will need to flash it with CMW recovery.
