Hi all. I just went from the HTC MT4G to an S3 on Tmo. While I love the S3 so far, there are a few things I miss from my HTC. The main thing is the HTC Calendar and it's widget. I figured out (by searching) how to bring over my ringtones and notifications, but when I tried copying and installing the Calendar.apk on my S3, but it says it can't.
How am I able to do this? Surely there has to be a way. I've tried searching, but can't seem to find what I need...

Most of HTCs applications have stuff and resources in the framework-res and htc.framework-res (or h/e it's named).
you COULD port it by porting the resources and then install the application.
But this is actually not easy.
The easiest thing you could do is search an alternative in the Play Store.
If I'm wrong, pelase correct me.
I hope I answered your question suitable.

You would have to port all of Rosie to get it working. All of HTC widgets will not work without the framework they created.
I believe there is a port for older Samsung devices but not the S3 as far as I know.
I guess I was hoping someone can steer me to a post on how to do this, or even provide some instructions...

I read somewhere you only need Rosie to get it to work.
Well, that should not be too hard...
Take a look at THIS THREAD
Read ALL POSTS CAREFULLY.
If you follow that steps and have the right tool for signing, you could get there.
Buy NigthMare a beer too when it works (NightMare is the who came up with the ideas on porting it in the above thread).
Good luck
Ohhhhh man, this looks promising! Let me get to work....

Look in that thread yourself and try it out
I resized Rosie.apk once for a dev trying to do the same...
Try this one. Make sure to backup everything first. Note you don't install this as APK from within the running ROM.

saw it in market and DL'd/installed fine for me on CM7 ba2tf. pretty poor port though.
Oh okay cool. Well damn I don't know why it says incompatible for me on Weekly 4..? I guess If somebody else is having the same prob as me the apk is now easy to find.
Is it full screen for you? Toggling compatability mode in Spare Parts didnt seam to work for me on this app.

nope, it's a crappy WVGA port with no button functionality, just the stupid iphone style interface.

So the CoD ELITE app was released on Android today! But NOT on (my) Atrix! But I transfered the APK from my Captivate and it works just fine!
The resolution is off, it does not take up the full screen. Maybe one of you mad scientist can dissect it for us?
It is just a port of the iOS version so it leaves a little to be desired, but at least it does work even though the Market says its not compatible..

Thank you WiredPirate for posting the apk. Surprisingly, this app is not available in certain countries like mine. And you just helped me (and probably others) a lot by doing this.
You are welcome!
YEAH, thanks a lot WiredPirate, it's not available in Panama either...
Sure, no problem. If they ever update it to fix the resolution problem I will post that apk for yall!
cod elite
it's on the market for atrix now. terribly made app. just ported from iphone. doesn't fill up full screen or have any button functionality. actually, doesn't have much functionality at all. basically check stats and that's it. stupid iphone ports
=)
Thank You very much
Yea, I wish they would fix the resolution. I keep seeing resolution fixes in the updates but still no luck
Hey WiredPirate, do you care to post the updated .apk? I would greatly appreciate it.
[EDIT] I mean, I greatly appreciate the effort thus far, but when I load up the app, it won't show the login form. Just the background with a banner at the top with the logo on it. :/

I don't have an Atrix to test this on anymore but it is the most recent version pulled from my SGN. I will also update the link in the OP.
Awesome! You just made my day. Thank you sooo much!
And another UPDATE last night, will add to OP too.
COD Elite v2 apk needed.
I am also looking for its Cakk of duty Elite apk. I can't install it because region not supported.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.activision.elite&hl=en
So I am looking to create a ROM, but in which to do so I also need the basic function apps of the MT4G. So I guess my question is...
Does anyone one either have those files handy or know where I can download them from?
I thought there used to be a google app pack that was .apk, but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks,
Danny
i guess u can download the google apps package from cyanogen mod site
Wow. Thanks. You gave me info, but it would have also been awesome if maybe you left a link for me to follow.

Or, you could go to the myTouch 4G Developement section where there should be everything you want. The device database search is in the top right for a reason.
Okay so now my new problem is that my phone is now telling me it has an update, but when the phone reboots into recovery it doesn't let it finish the install. It only gets about 1/4 of the way and then has the error emblem. Does anyone know where I can get the update. I have looked on HTC's website as well as T-Mobile's website and neither of them have the .zip for me to download in order to do it.
If someone has this file that would be really awesome. I know the update isn't that important, but I would really like it.
Thanks in advance,
Danny
Found this application which was once only on i-application(iphone) working fine on our touchpad and yes it also plays good on my LG optimus one too. It is like google currents but a little different in work around. Enjoy the port.
Here is the app
Press thanks if I helped.........
no offense but I'm pretty sure i've seen this posted somewhere else..u might wanna give credit to the original poster who yanked this from the sg III launch event..

yes you are right but most of the posts and topics look nice, neat and clean.
and I think something is still better than nothing....
what do you say?
compared to the browser....you'd have to argue the need for this, it was designed for the phone (GS3) and all that's been done is ported from there. If they developer made a bespoke tablet version then it'd be nice. but hey, thats my beef with ICS at the moment, many apps are stretched and look wrong
I like it alot.... Thanks for sharing,I hadn't seen the other thread so glad to have the app on my og evo and touchpad

Someone was working on a version where they adjusted the fonts to make them look better on a tablet but I never saw the actual package posted.

I was working on it.... Never got it right, as it appears I was only able to change the UI fonts. The article fonts themselves appear to be set remotely and just displayed locally. So it didn't even fix the biggest issue with the fonts which is in the articles themselves. It only fixed the UI and header fonts. I was going to post the APK anyway, but I found a force close error when trying to add new feeds, so that made things not so nice. Add to that the fact that for some reason, the APK wasn't installable unless I re-signed it, that makes it difficult to switch between versions without uninstalling/reinstalling, I decided not to post the modified APK.
If a developer type wants, I can send the modified APK directly. I'm not going to post it here because it's A) not stable and B) didn't achieve the intended purpose anyway, and C) I don't want to have to support something that's broken/unfinished.
Anyone that knows how to decompile/recompile an APK can do the same thing I did. All I did was reduce the font sizes in the XML layout and values files. As I said though, that didn't have any effect on the actual article content, which appeared to be defined remotely.
I saw this little Samsung widget from a You Tube video. My current ROM doesn't have it, I don't recall seeing it with past ROMs either. I searched this forum and don't see it here.
I hunted it down through Twitter of all places.
Maybe it's not included on N7100 .. anyway it's tested & works fine, lightweight. It clearly tells how many apps are active, clicking it leads to your built-in Task Manager.
It's an apk, just install normally.

I find Samsungs App store can be picky on the keyword, also they try to detect your device and determines weather or not it is compatible for the app. If it's not or unknown they don't display it. I think custom roms might have a issue in this regard lol.
Here's the new one.

Hi Hemant. Unless you live in New Zealand, this app won't suit you. It's a paid app by the NZ national weather service, only shows weather for NZ.

Sorry I don't know how to get it to work on custom roms, my guess is the widget needs specifics from Samsung touchwiz roms possibly the framework that Samsung uses or could be the kernel, but I honestly have no idea.
So it's the holidays and I'm very very poor right now. I've trying to think of things to make for my lady, and one thing that came to mind was an app! lol, she's on her phone a lot and she knows i love messing with my phone so I thought it'd be a cool idea to make her a custom app, something simple, maybe with a splash screen that shows a pic of us, and then into a love note, followed by some pics of us.
So that's my idea, I've tried making this on one app maker, the crappy conduit one, but every time i installed the APK on my phone (nexus5) it never showed any of the stuff i made on their site.
So here's the thing, does anyone know of a good and easy app maker I could use that would allow me to basically design it, and have it make the code for me, and the APK? I have eclipse setup on my system so i may be able to any editing and whatnot...but, seeing as time is a factor (i only have a few days) id love to get it done in a matter of a day at least.
any info or tips would be greatly appreciated, im no coding genius but i can follow directions quite well lol. Thanks!

oh nah man, i dont need it on the play store. this is just a personal thing for her. I would send her the apk to install on her phone (i'll probably be right next to her to show her how) and then she would just open it, read the note and swype through some pics of us. I just think it'd be cool for her to have an entire custom app that's her and I, instead of just some slideshow online that anyone can do these days.
