Hi,
I have put the latest ICS leak on my SGS2 which funny enough I find better and more stable than the official XXLPQ.
The only things I miss are the stock ICS apps such as the ICS calendar, stock Email for Exchange, stock dialer/people apps etc ... but I also kind of like Touchwizz launcher and would like to keep it.
I have downloaded the latest gapps but is it safe to flash these over a Samsung ROM and would it bring the stock ICS apps that I am after?
I have searched on the forum and found few threads about stock apps but not really what I am after.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Anyone can help for this?
I am trying to get the Email app from the CM9 ROM installed onto my LP3 stock Samsung ICS.
I have tried to copy Email.apk and Exchange.apk to /system/app but that doesn't work, the app is not visible under settings/applications...
I would love to get the stock ICS apps (sms, contacts, email, agenda) on the Samsung ROM (LP3) which I find very stable

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone had a zip file of the stock APK''s from Android 2.3.4 on the Galaxy S2 (for AT&T)?
Specifically, I'm looking to re-install stock: calendar, memo, clock, email apps and widgets.
Thanks.

You can get them from Cognition. Download the ROM, and extract the ones you want. He also posted a link to stock apps that are not in his ROM.
I'm having some success with the latest LP6 samsung leaked ICS rom
I'm interested in looking at the stock message, contacts, music, gallery etc app to see how they compare to samsung's variants.
I'm rooted -- other than find a rom with them already included, where would I find these apps?
Any problems with having both installed concurrently? (say samsung contacts and stock contacts).?
As far as I know, its not as easy as just copying the apks over, if you want to try out AOSP, your best bet is to try CM9 (but remember its alpha/beta quality).
Ah yes, that makes sense. Thanks
may try CM9 when more stable.for now the leaked rooms are improving quickly
People have been successful with porting aosp apps to Samsung roms, I just can't find anybody willing to share the info on how to do it.
I hate touchwiz, i find it so damn ugly, ics looks so much better to me but samsung never releases their propietary drivers and we're stuck with half working aosp roms, so the only solution i can come up with is use the stock samsung ics firmware but get rid of their apps ( gallery, dialer, samsung apps, email client, read hub... ) and then install on top the stock ics apps, is it possible or will i break something?
try westscrips ressurection rom. Works perfect.

I've recently installed ICS 4.0.3 on my galaxy s2 (The official rom) and after rooting and deleting some stock apps the original Touch Wiz stopped working so i looked everywhere for the stock TW apk (unmodified-the one that comes with the original rom) and i had no luck finding it.
If anyone could give me a link to the apk i would truly appreciate it
Cheers
better flash again i don think ppl will keep tw4 apk wiv them...i don think it alone will work too...
Hi all
I have a GS2 had stock operator ROM (Cellcom Israel 4.0.3)
backed up free titanium
installed pilotx JB rom and dual boot thin touchwiz JB
wanted to restore the stock memo app onto PilotX
titanium freezes when doing so
when I find the apk file, and click it tells me not installed
have tried to put the apk (including a deodexed version i found somewhere on XDA) into system/app (and data/app)
and reboot - all to no avail.
note that on my dual boot to thin touchwiz JB i CAN restore the memo app from titanium.
is this because this rom includes TW 5 - I think I read somewhere stock samsung apps require TW (??)
So is there a way to get the stock memo app onto pilot X?
is there a way to find a TW5 apk to put onto pilotX in hopes that after that I could restore the memo app?
(yes I have tried numerous memo apps from market, don't know why but I like stock samsung one best!)
thanks in advance for advice!

you can only use those original samsung softwares on touchwiz based ROMs (meaning in fact custom roms based on stocks = "sammy roms")
so it's not possible to use them on aosp or aokp based roms if the touchwiz framework is not incorporated...and normally it's not because exactly the usage of easy theming and independence from samsung is the source of those roms.
So i don't know what pilotX rom is based on, but if not based on sammy it will probably not work
