hi,
loving many of the new ics roms around, apart from 2 fundamental things, the camera app and the fact i have no return key on my swype keyboard, its a smiley key (WTF!) ive searched around a lot trying to find the answer to this, seems there is none, using the jap swype gives me the return key back, but this sends the text rather than goes to next line.
using go sms gives my the keyboard functions as they "should" be, but dont like it too much.
im using Resurrection remix, can i add the sammy apps i desire into this??
im guess the answer is no.
so, is there anyway i can "recook" this rom to add the sammy apps i want?
thanks in advance.
if resurection rom is aosp then no you cant put samsung apps on it

So i have flashed countless custom roms and found alot of little differences i liked in all of them. I have come to find i enjoy the customization options of AOKP and AOSP ICS roms. My only drawback is I (which seems unlike alot of other users) actually like the stock samsung messaging app, the mms that comes along with the aosp or aokp roms is slightly plain, atleast for myself.
If anyone has a fix for this or can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if kinda all over the place with this request, first time posting
Try placing it in system app after doing a Android. Can't hurt although it will probably break being able to text people from the dialer app.

Well i actually tried that once, i do know with similar based roms (ie. SHOstock, Ultimatum..) a copy and paste over the mms.apk in system/app folder followed by a restart did apply and worked fine.
When i attempted to replace mms in aokp or a cyanogenmod variant of some kind it came back with no messaging after reboot
Well from what I have read the stock mms app from samsung will not work because it is apart of the touchwiz interface and will not work on aosp/aokp/cm9! If you want it that bad you will have to go to a touchwiz based rom like shostock2. I actually prefer the stock aosp mms app over the iPhone inspired sammy app! Touchwiz sucks in my opinion.
Hth,
Charlie

System apps won't work across bases (AOSP to Touchwiz or vice versa). Touchwiz to touchwiz or AOSP to AOSP works fine.

Ok, yes i read that somewhere, it was poorly explained in the forum i read though, i wasn't sure if there were some sort of modifications to the apk itself that would allow cross-base application or not. I am trying out Foxhound now, which actually has a decent interface with a dark theme, would you happen to know of any theme options for AOSP messaging?
What so good about Sammy stock MMS app that you have to stick with it?
You can try out GOSMS.
Anyway, most of Sammy apps requires their own frameworks in order to function properly.

Not that I know of. On GB, there was at least 1 AOSP application that worked on Samsung (messaging app, coincidentally). It was from CM, I think; idk what made that work while others didn't.
Again, not that I know of. I've always found AOSP apps aesthetically pleasing, so I never looked for other options.
Hey,
I was wondering if it was possible to install stock ICS on the Galaxy S 3, while keeping new useful Samsung's functionalities (S-Beam, All Share Play, Smart Stay, Direct Call, Smart Alert, Tap to Top, Popup Play, S-Voice, …).
Actually, I would like to feel I'm on ICS on my GS3, and not on a Gingerbread-styled TouchWiz. I know I could install a third party launcher, but it customizes only the launcher, and not the status bar or the Settings for example.
Thanks !
CM-Zoom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698273 is probably the closest ROM out there atm, its Samsung ROM with a bunch of Cyanogen stuff included.
I dont know of any AOSP-based ROMs that can run the Samsung app suite yet.

Most Samsung features depend on the TW framework. So few things will probably never work on AOSP based roms. However, for a lot of the features you named, there are alternatives. For instance, pop up play isn't a Samsung specific feature. But overall, what you're asking for will not work. Maybe in time, but I wouldn't get your hopes up...
Mmmh...
Unfortunately, I am not so surprised by your answers
And what about theming ? Is it possible to create a theme like this one and install it on the original Samsung ROM ?

Why don't you use that theme?

It's written "The Theme is just for deodexed Rom's and is tested on Omega V3-V5!". Is the stock Samsung ROM deodexed ? Even if I am a developer, I dont know much about Android development
If it turns out to be deodexed, I could adapt his project to my needs (as said before, I don't know too much but it's a good way to learn !)
Oh, and forgot something in my initial post :
What bothers me in TouchWiz is replaced apps like Calendar and Contacts. This cannot be solved by theming. Is it possible to install these separately ?
I know I am a little picky and want the best of the two worlds, but isn't that the strength of Android ?

You can install any replacement app you want. Some of them might rely on a certain framework though (e.g. Cyanogenmod) and might not work. But any replacement app from the Play Store should be fine.

Of course, but what about stock ICS applications I am used to use ? Isn't it possible to "extract" them from original ICS ?
ICS (afaik) requires vendors to include the original framework and theming so that apps don't break on heavily modified phones.
The goo.im stock apps should work, but create a nandroid backup before attempting to flash it through CWM
http://goo.im/gapps
You most likely want the following:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Ok. So ICSwiz + goo.im apps should do the trick.
I won't try it right now due to a busy schedule, but maybe in one week or so.
I will post it there my results, in case anyone is interested.
Thanks for your replies

Download the CM9 Rom and replace the desired apps in /system/app.
Make sure you remove the samsung counterpart, e.g. if you want the original calendar, remove SecCalendar (or something) and calendarprovider, add original calendar and calendarprovider.
Don't be stupid and only replace what you really want!
THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR PHONE, CONTACTS AND DOWNLOAD!
There are many threads where they offer a black google apps pack, search for yourself if interested.
I know that this looks like it has been asked a dozen times, but I assure you that I have looked high and low and have installed literally 10 or so keyboards trying to compare features.
Here's what I am looking for (if it's possible):
Looking for a port of the keyboard that comes with AOKP 4.2.2 Milestone 1 or later. I know that there are tons of Jellybean keyboards out there and they even have gesture typing, but the one that comes with AOKP has the long press alternate keys exactly where I want them as well as the right selection.
I have tried the Google Keyboard from the Play Store and it doesn't have the long press alternates (aside for a select few that aren't labled).
Does anyone know how I can get this keyboard to work on my Note II? I have even gone so far as to extract it from an AOKP ROM and it loads fine, however the gesture typing does not work (just shows the gesture trail but doesn't type anything)
Is this at all possible? Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

If AOKP is like the other AOSP Roms then the keyboard is the Google keyboard, unless they are using the older AOSP keyboard which is the same thing with a different name. AOKP may just use a different one but I doubt that.
Have you tweaked with the settings in the keyboard once installed to make sure the gesture trail is turned on?
You might get more help in the Themes section seeing how they deal with a lot of keyboards and mods for keyboards.

I tried everything. Gesture trail is turned on. The keyboard version is 4.2.2. Not really sure what else to do. Seems like maybe a lib file is missing or something.

Hi all,
I only now use my X10 as my secondary phone - I use it when I go running to track my running stats with the GPS etc, so that if I drop it and break it, it's not a big deal!
For the last few months I've been using this AOSP 4.2.2 ROM on there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197387
I think this ROM is amazing, but it does have a tendency to slow down to a crawl when I am out and running my Endomondo running app.
So I have decided I want a Gingerbread ROM again, probably Feralabs, but there are some features in ICS/JB that I was wondering if had been ported across?
Specifically, I want to be able to add the custom message to the home screen. I like this feature, as I can put my name and phone number in there in case I do lose the phone and anyone finds it (obviously relying on the fact that they wish to return it to me!!)
Also, I want the WiFi icon in the toolbar to have the activity arrows. In GB ROMs I've used, it's always just a static icon.
Is there any Gingerbread ROM which has a launcher which supports these two functions?
Many thanks for any advice.
Alex
Bump....nothing??
Have both those features on my XPERIA S, but don't know of any XPERIA X10i GB ROM that has those features.... and I've tried a few.
Thanks for the reply
Likewise, I also have those features on the Xperia S, but in JellyBean.
The wifi one sounds silly, but I actually rely on the activity arrows a lot as my wifi plays up so often. Whereas in Gingerbread is just sits there with the icon and you have no idea if data is being sent or received.
The message on the homescreen feature I always use in ICS/JB, it's a shame it appears it cannot be done in GB ROMs.

Not that is can't be done, just that I don't know of any GB ROM that has it.
Check X10 themes and Apps posts, you never know your luck.
Is there an app strictly for theming Google Keyboard, kind of like how there is a specific modules for Google Launcher. I've tried Ex-themer 2, but it was too limited for my taste and not really what I was looking for. Also tried HK Themer but I don't want to download whole themes. Also I don't want a completely separate apk. I know getting pretty picky, but looking for just something where I could modify the hex codes for maybe the three colors, (text, key, and background), and maybe force the hint keys so I can just long press for certain keyboard characters.
Please don't recommend any other keyboard apps as I have tried quite a few and were not satisfied.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
