ICS apps on Gingerbread - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there!
I'm wondering whether it is possible to have ICS apps such as Email, Messenging and Contacts on Gingerbread? Like a port of them or a theme to replace the same apps on GB.
Thanks,
Curtis.

As those apps are developed using Holo design guidelines and uses the Android 4.0 libs, its pretty much not possible. But exceptions can be made.

[Q] [REQ] Stock ASOP Phone app.

I like sense and many of the apps but the one app i hate is the phone all. I liked having the separate Tabs for contacts and dialer.
Is there a way to get the ASOP phone back?

[Q] Touchwiz Calendar on CM7

Is there a way to get the Touchwiz calendar working on a CM7 rom?
I don't like the functionality of the AOSP calendar and I've tried every other calendar replacement on the market, just want the Twiz Cal back.
You should be able to copy the Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk over from the system/apps folder.
Here is a thread on how to change TouchWiz calendar to Stock. I imagine you can go the other way if you have the TouchWiz APKs.

Can anyone confirm?
I think the touchwiz apps require twframework-res, which CM7 definitely doesn't have.
I'm pretty sure all the touchwiz apps need to touchwiz framework so they won't work on cm7 or miui

Unless if you actually took the Touchwiz Calendar and built it from scratch again, then probably not. All stock TW apps on your phone are hardcored with the actual framework...
Sorry, I don't think its possible.

ICS Stock Messaging App

Hey all, running Cleanrom ICS, after running a senseless rom I'm sort of hooked on the ICS stock messaging app. If I was to install it would it just work, or do I need to find someone who'd compile it with the Sense framework?
try and install it and see.. if it doesnt work then more things need to be done or its not possible( but i think it is )

That might work

Darn, sorry then
Yeah, I had seen that app, but it also has adverts in it. and I'm honestly unsure how to pack the stock ICS messenger into an APK. :/
bump.
Anyone know what I need to do to get the messaging APK?
im running the asop messaging app on joelz bamf 0.7 just fine but you can't use the sense messaging app at the same time so with root explorer I renamed the sense mms.apk to mms.bak in case i wanted to revert back to it then pasted the aosp messaging apk into the system app folder and installed from there and it works fine and loads contact photos it just doesn't intergrate with the sense lockscreen.

JB, Sense4 and 3D camera

Hi, I would like to ask, why is 3D camera problem at most JB and Sense 4 roms. Thanks for reply.:cyclops:
As far as I understand it, HTC never released source code for the camera drivers. Unless somebody writes one from scratch, there is nothing to port the drivers into AOSP or sense 4 ROMs. This doesn't mean it can't be done, just a lot more difficult.
But why cant you use drivers from ics, sorry for my stupidity but the base of drivers must be same as JB and Sense 4

Is because the drivers for the 3d camera are proprietary and HTC has not and probably never will release them to the public furthermore jelly bean s'pose have sense 4.1, at least on the official release

Sense apps depend on an underlying framework that doesn't exist in AOSP based ROM's and that changes from release to release even for Sense. Many AOSP apps, like the camera and gallery from 4.2, work on Sense ROM's because they still support the AOSP functions, but don't expect HTC apps and widgets to work on non-Sense ROM's because that framework is not there.

Some MIUI ROMs are ported onto a Sense base with Sense removed. Some are ported onto AOSP based ROMS. That is why some MIUI have Sense stuff.

Yes, and this is one. From the first line of the OP:
Hi all, this is my first Android ROM, it's based on MIUI v4, Android Ice Cream Sandwich, and it uses also the Sense framework so both 3D and HTC apps are working.

The digitalhigh CDMA MIUI ROM is another one, although he is also working on a version that is JB (AOSP) based.

ramjet.... wondering if you could answer a different question that is somewhat related to the information you are providing? (figured to ask it here rather than start a new thread)
I just recently flashed cm10 (chad's) and i have forgotten how much I dislike the Mail app versus the Sense 4.1 version... has anyone tried this one? -or do we know that it flat out will not work because of the missing framework?
appreciate your help on this,

I don't think the HTC mail app will work on non-Sense ROM's since it does require the framework, but there are some good mail apps based on the AOSP version such as K-9 Mail. The new Gmail app with pinch-to-zoom and message swiping is nice too if you are primarily a Gmail user.

Thanks for the response.... I use Gmail for my personal stuff and love it, but I use the regular mail app for work. unfortunately I handle hundreds of emails a day, and not being able to "select all" in AOSP makes managing those emails a nightmare. I will give K-9 another try, even though i wasn't impressed the first time i used it about a year ago. Thanks for the suggestions!
Maybe you could possibly extract the source code of the 3d camera so you don't have to start from scratch.

We're not sure if we'll be able to Many of the integrated widgets (such as Zooper) only work from ICS and above. We'll have a look at GB support in the future but for now we just don't have the resources. Sorry for the inconvenience.
