Im looking for the stock calendar and email .apk. Since verizon took away many key functions like the stock calendar 4x4 widget. SO if anyone can please send me a link, it would be appreciated.
Admins, if thsi is in the wrong section, feel free to use it. Dont really know where requests go
Stock or touchwiz?
I really recommend flashing clean rom 3.5..
its based off of the international version and has a lot of advantages that might suit you, because it sounds like youre like me in that i care about little things like:
calendar/s-planner widgets
no wifi ongoing notification
wifi toggle in the notification drawer
adding apps to your multi-window bar...except without the bugs..
and no bloat-ware
and all of that comes with clean rom..im loving it.

A couple quick mod flashes can do the same on even stock.

Are there any good widgets that displays facebook/twitter and other social networking updates like the stock feeds and update widget in TouchWiz? I am using ADW, which obviously doesn't have access to the Samsung widgets (stupid Samsung for putting them in a non-stock location). I really liked that widget, and would like something similar, instead of having to use separate widgets for Facebook and Twitter.
Scrollable widget is a plus!

I love pure messenger. Much better than the stock Samsung app in my opinion.
I too miss that TouchWiz Updates and Feeds app. I will give the Pure Messenger widget a try, seeing how I was looking for a good email widget as well.
Is the only problem with getting the Feeds and Updates widget to work the location? If so, where does Android keep the stock widgets in the filesystem? I am thinking it might be possible to move the F&U widget to where the stock widgets are located and use it from there. Anyone have any insight as to whether this would even be possible?

I don't think that's possible because those widgets are built into the tw ui. If that wasn't the case then we would've already had sense widgets running on adw and launcher pro.

Actually, I searched through astro file manager and I was able to find the apk for all of Samsung's Widgets. I do know you can copy the apk and edit it though, as I was able to to so. However, I don't know what or how to "fix" them to use outside of touchwiz.
Anyone willing to take a look at it?
I would be really interested to hear if anything comes about this, i too miss it and would like to know if it can happen.
Nobody is going to "take a look at it" because it is not possible.
Couldn't find a free version of pure messenger I always pay for the full version of apps I like, but never pay for apps that don't have a way to try before you buy. If there is a free version could someone through a link this way ? Thanks!

You always have a 24 hour period with the Android market. If you don't like it, uninstall/cancel and it won't charge your card. You only get to do this once per app though.

It comes up periodically on the -dev list that this is actually harmful to developers: if a user install it, and doesn't like it (or doesn't get to give it a proper test, or it has a bug on their device) and refund, thats it. They will never come back because it was broken and they don't get to try again.
If there is a trial/limited/ads version and that happens, they can try again when the bug is fixed (or when they have more time, or a better environment, etc.)
On the vibrant this likely happens a lot, since it has such performance issues to begin with - "I installed foo, and my phone started locking up, so I refunded. Now its been a week and it turns out it wasn't foo at all, but I can't try it again..."
Tmobile has a new app that does several social sites in one its pretty good, but not perfect for one it doesn't have an associated widget.

Yeah it really does need a widget.
You have 24 hours after purchasing an app on the android market to "return" it and get your money back.
You can buy Launcher Pro Plus. It has a scrollable Twitter widget that's the best you'll find in the market. Plus he's constantly updating and is adding Facebook support.

I'll add my vote for Pure Messenger. Dev is also one of the most reponsive out there, so if there is ever an issue, it won't be there long.
Widget does all gmail, email, sms, facebook, twitter, and scrolling messenger list widget is great in adw and lp, soon also livehome has scrollable widget support.
Livehome is fun enough to deal with the lack of scrollable widget support until it's done.

I've been using Pure Calendar for a while now. I love the naked look.
I just bought Pure Messenger to give it a shot. I really like the look of Sammy's widget but this would match up nice with my calendear.
Try an app called sotiallite it has twitter and facebook. It's a widget but not scrollible.

Well, I don't know about the rest of you but I enjoy the functionality of MySense in certain respects. My dislikes are not enough to get me to jump to an alternative launcher but they are enough to make me want changes.
In my eyes.... two things will make Espresso aesthetically pleasing and more functional. The first being redirecting/replacing the My Faves with Browser or messenger. And the second... changing the drawer icon to the FROYO blocks icon.
Now, I don't have a full grasp on what would be involved in doing so, but common sense or my lack of understanding perhaps tell me those 2 icons and the 1 remapping can't be too involved. To anyone out there ready and willing to take this on... I will volunteer to be the guinea pig for testing. Me and Nandroid are best friends.
Looking forward to it.

Lol, not forgotten... that is still on my list in the quest of a perfect MT4G. I am going to make that one my personal project. I figured it is in my best interest to enlist some "qualified" help for the Espresso Project.
lol the things you mentioned above are my exact problems with the stock launcher as well everything else i like as of lately ive jus been using a combination of iced glacier and ADW to get sumthing almost similar to wat you discribed but in all i would love to see an actual rom that benifits both i too will be a tester for anyone who decides to take on this project and good luck

i agree ADW doesnt have any real widgets so it does put u at a loss. if sumone could successfully merge the two launchers and have the benifits of both we would have a fricken great rom for this phone. i tried to flash the apks from the glacier rom onto the ADW launcher but it freezes the homescreen i cant get the widgets to successfully adapt to the ADW protocols which puts me back to sqaure one lol
what is root?
I turned my phone on and now the screen glows???? wtf your rom borkded it.... can I abd push ota or does the motherboard need fixing???? thanx in advance

Motherboard for sure... I will PM you my address. Sent me your phone and I will fix it when I get a chance.
-iced glacier,
-adw
-pure calendar widget
-stock twitter app & widget
-simiclock (has weather now)
-quick settings for the best customizable power and brightness controls and can be launched from tapping simiclock when set up that way, also can be added to status bar
-circle battery (just looks cool and clean)
All of this together makes me very pleased with this phone. I have test out sooooo many different apps for these functions and various roms on other phones.. just my taste and opinion.. but give them a try if you havent.
I'm being given one of these at work. Coming from Sense I reckon it'll be a real shock to the system and 1 I'm not looking forward to!
I got used to the beautiful Sense widgets with their well-designed and consistent look and feel. Can anyone tell me what stock widgets are included please?
Thanks everyone

Sorry, I think that I have not really get your point/issue?!
You want to have (HTC) "Sense"-like widgets on your SGS2?
Just you are used to them and like their optic?
Come on ... Samsung designes its hardware for TouchWiz.
If you were asking about getting rid of all Samsung bloatware to come to "pure" (Google) Android, then I would understand you.
For Sense-like apps and widgets, you have to search for yourself.
But you will find some threads about this topic.
Hi It_ler
Thanks for your reply but I think you've misunderstood. I know I'm not going to get Sense-like widgets with Touchwiz. I was using Sense as an example of the sort of widgets that COULD be included in Touchwiz (if you're familiar with Sense). For example, the Sense Facebook chat widget or the FriendStream widget (those are just EXAMPLES, btw!)
What I'm asking is what widgets are provided out of the box with Touchwiz?
So no-one can tell me what the stock widgets are on this device?
Hi all!
So I'm fairly sure that there isn't another topic like this one, I did a couple searches. But I'm sorry if that's incorrect.
I just flashed MIUI 2.8.10 today and have been messing around with the options on it. Very cool ROM, I like it a lot, I just have a couple questions about it.
1. Is there a way I can speed up the lockscreen? As of right now my actual homescreen and phone interaction is very snappy and fast, but the lockscreen is sluggish. Is there any way to get the lockscreen up to par with the homescreen?
2. Are there any lockscreen options (e.g. customizing the lockscreen apps, etc.)? I've been searching around the system settings, etc. and I can't find any. When I get a text, I can't navigate right to it from the lockscreen (I can navigate to the messaging app from the lockscreen, but not right to the actual text message. I know that's picky, it's just a question.
I appreciate any help I can get! Thank you, there are still a lot of aspects of this ROM that I do not know about.

Glad you are liking the Rom!!!
Unfortunately, the lockscreen speed is due to the limitations of our device's CM9. Once Dragonzkiller has kexec working a lot of Roms (including this one) will see a huge performance increase. Also, the only way to really customize the lockscreen is by themes. Unfortunately some of the things you are asking are just impossible with the current set up. You may be able to try WidgetLocker for a lockscreen with a lot of customization.

Gotcha, that's cool. Thanks anyways! I'm definitely enjoying the ROM so far, Supercharging as I type this. It's a little weird getting used to all the MIUI apps that are on here, so I've renamed a lot to .bak. Another slightly beginner question, can I rename the MIUIHome.apk to .bak assuming I already have set Apex as my default launcher?

Yes and I actually recommend it if you are using another Launcher. If not, it will still load in the background and eat away precious RAM.

Nice, done. Thanks!
So I'm loving this One, but some of the stock apps I'm not liking (primarily MMS, mail, browser, keyboard, launcher)
I've installed Nova, Chrome, Swiftkey, chomp, and gmail, which are doing a great job of replacing and I've nearly got the phone in a good place.
My problem is that the Sense lockscreen still shows the stock apps, including indicators for new text messages i've already read via chomp. Now that I'm using Nova Launcher, I can't figure out how to modify the sense lockscreen to change the apps that are at the base there.
Almost all of this is being done because while I like blinkfeed enough, I already use Flipboard and don't want that as my initial screen and it seems like Sense isn't going to allow us to have a more traditional homescreen with blinkfeed to the left or right. I'm also not a huge fan of swapping between modes of blinkfeed+icons and traditional home screen.
I'm posting this here in T-mo General looking for advice because flashing another ROM isn't an option for me. My understanding is that flashing a ROM will lose the wifi calling capability, and that is really important for me. What would you guys do?
You should only lose wifi calling if you flash a AOSP based ROM. I understand that you want to "de-sense" you're phone so an AOSP ROM would be your best bet.
This phone is brand new so development is still slow right now but I bet you should start seeing some Sense-based ROM's without all the Sense bloat start popping up soon
In regards to your lockscreen issue, have you looked into using a lockscreen replacement like WidgetLocker?
Did you replace the icons in the dock on Rosie (Sense launcher).
I'm still using the Sense launcher and my lockscreen shows what I have on my dock.

Won't you potentially also lose some camera and other specialized functionality relative to the hardware?
That is correct. You will just have stock android camera without Zoe and all that jazz
I usually always go AOSP but I really like the camera features here. Gonna be a tough call

You will lose wifi calling if you flash a non-tmobile rom, like one of the M7 HTC One roms or an AT&T rom.

Is it possible to flash the camera apk? is there a camera apk or is it part of sense itself?
I'm gonna take an educated guess based on my experience with Samsung. Usually custom camera apps are deeply integrated in custom android versions (sense, tw, etc). You can pull the apk and may even get it to install but my guess is that it will FC

If you look in the AT&T sub forum of the One, there is a ahpla of CM10.1 which means that CM10.1 is being worked on right now for the One. I am sure it will work with all HTC Ones once it is done. I would give it a month or two and we should be pretty good off. It is still really early in the game.
