Hey I'm wondering if its possible to have the stock android messaging app on the our SGSII? I really dislike the samsung one, hate the bubble colours and the text compose style it has, been using hand cent SMS instead but I've just been wondering if its at all possible to install the Stock android one instead.
Thanks
i have the same question... anyone?
Hi,
You can install a Custom ROM based on AOSP like Gingermod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220283
It contains the Android messaging apk and then you can customize it by adding the Samsung apps you want.
Cheers
Have you ever considered Go SMS Pro, it's a much more featured app.
Its available on the market for free.
Yes you can, check out this thread:

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

You most likely want the following:

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 can't seem to find any mods for this ROM, for example like all apps on MultiWindow, or the ink effect on lockscreen...
Keep searching in themes and apps. If they exist they will be there.

SPlanner is by far the best calendar widget available for Android. Nothing comes close to its clean, dense and easy to read widget.
I am a dedicated MIUI user. Unfortunately, SPlanner is integrated with Samsung's TouchWiz.
Would it be possible for a MIUI ROM based on a stock I9300 firmware to provide SPlanner? Better yet, could SPlanner and it's dependencies be pulled out of a stock formware and packaged as a stand alone app/widget? Could any developers give me some pointers as to how to go about doing this if it's even possible?
Thanks in advance,
- Naz.
hi there,
it's not possible cause the s planner is part of the touchwiz, and needs that in order to work...
You can easily port SPlanner only if app doesn't use framework code

For members who don't know what are the ported apps :-
The ported apps directory is a series of maintained posts of mods, apps, widgets, wallpapers, ROMs, etc. that have been ported, posted, and packaged, that can turn your device into something else entirely new, and that*are available for pretty much any rooted device out there.
By another way ported app allows you to install apps that are not supported by your device.
