Hello all!
Well i've used many search tools here on site, and i've also done some cutom searches on my phone, and yet can't find what i KNOW is here somewhere.
So i'm asking for a little help to point me in the right direction! I'm on the Samsung Fascinate (obviously) running 2.3.3 EC09 with Kernel 2.6.35.7
I would love to get my hands on a cutom dialer, and maybe even in addition to some customization onto contacts list look and feel.
Now directing me to themes and apps is not what im looking for, i dont care to add any full phone theme, i make my own custom (yet basic) themes, just wondering if there is any pre-made dialer replacements, and just maybe a contact list to go along??
I'm almost certain someone will call me blind and point me right there, but I really have came to my witz end looking, and have probably looked right over it!
Thanks in advance for the help in where to find what my mind seeks!!!!
Edit- Before someone asks or states " if you built your own theme why not a dialer?" Simply put, I don't want to!!!! I want a quick pre-made to move about my buisness with!!
hello guys just set up dxsidia android kitchen not sure if anyone uses this but i have a few questions and since dxsidia does not support this anymore was hoping someone could answer them for me...
1. is the major obvious one does it work on the photon in the thread it does say unconfirmed for atrix but nothing on photon?
2.after creating the work folder i go into advanced options and start editing? i realize since there is nothing on the photon most of my answers are probably going to be try and see but no harm in asking right...
3.it has a set of pluign scripts labeled sgs2/ sgs these are for samsung galaxy s right so i dont want to use any of them?
4. there is a task killer tweak you can add from it what exactly is this?
5. add data/app functionality??? lets you add or remove apps??? not sure is why im asking
there are more q's but i figured if i can get these answered im doing good
ive read the thread for a few days now and seems simple but confusing at same time seems like its a one click type thing but if you dont know for sure what you are clicking can really screw up and have to start from scratch... anywho trying to do more around here and would appreciate any help anyone has thanks a ton
1) Yes in terms of an apk is an apk. No in terms of the updater script (IIRC)
2) Yes, assuming theres options in the advanced menu you'd like to impliment
3) You don't need the Samsung plugins.
4) Changes minfree settings in the boot image. Be aware the ICS impliments memory handling differently than previous versions.
5) Adds a script and folder for data/app partition so you can include optional apps. Optional apks (things like nascar for example) could be placed in here and would be installed on flash. But because they are in /data, the user has the option to uninstall through manage apps.
Personal Opinion: While the kitchen may be a convienient way to do things, it leaves little (Read: No) room for learning. Assuming you'd like to create a body of work to be publically distributed and not just for personal use, it might be worth the upfront investment in figuring out how to do/script this stuff yourself. That's not me trying to be an elite a-hole, that's me giving solid advice.
Cheers!
Yeah im a trying to learn as much as i can ive been reading and reading and reading have always known about the kitchen just never tried it thanks for the response you didnt come off as elitest is all good i find its easier for me to learn by trying things while reading about it granted i do research in great lengths not just in xda but other forums, blogs, links so on and so on before even downloading these tools but as i said it seems to sink in better when i can go ok i use this option this what it means thats what it did this what its supposed to do/look like
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
So ive been trying all day to spit out a rom with the kitchen and no matter what i do it doesnt install either get status 7 or 0 says was looking for 4agrs but only found 3 and sometimes says 3args but only found 2 ive tried using a rom i know flashes and just running it through the kitchen and flashing the output... idk what im doing wrong but starting to think it is not photon compatible any insider tips? i know i already asked this but not quite ready to surrender to defeat on this yet and i REALLY dont want to install linux or ubuntu on my computer would have to partition it and just not to keen on doing that to the family computer my kids and wife play on it almost more than i do
Hi all,
I have just installed lightning rom 2.5 and I have noticed that under both Phone and Contacts, there are missing tabs.
e.g.
Under Phone, the contacts tab is missing. I used to be able to slide to the right for more tabs.
How do I go about adding more tabs?
I tried searching but every time I add the word "tab" I get the Samsung Galaxy Tablet threads instead.
Also, under Security, the "SIM Change Alert" and "Remote controls" doesn't seem to be working, every time I tried checking the box, it freezes for awhile and then it says the setup has stopped working.
I wanted to post this in the lightning rom thread, but there's a 10 post restriction, and as such, I am posting here.
I hope someone can kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know about remote control or sim change alert, but it is a well known change in ICS that those tabs are removed purposely, in their infinite wisdom. I don't agree with it, but it is what it is. One of the many reasons I'm staying on Gingerbread until find an overwhelming reason to go to ICS.
So if this ROM is ICS based, that's your answer.

Ya, will do.
Interestingly enough, My Samsung Nexus S is on ICS as well, but it has contacts in the phone app.

That's cause Nexus S is running AOSP android, and Galaxy S series (including the GS2) runs TouchWiz, which Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, have modded to their liking.
Edit to add: Lite'ning ROM is based on Samsung stock, so it uses the same system apps. This will hold true for any ROM based on Samsung stock, unless the ROM chef changes out specific apps, like the phone in this case.

Thanks for the clarification. I am new to android and have been reading up on how to root/flash custom Rom on my TF201, SG2 and NS one by one. Took me several hours of reading and searching, but I have managed to get them all rooted/flashed without bricking any of them
This forum is loaded with heaps of info, but sometimes it's a bit hard to search for some specific stuff;the 10 post limitation on custom rom threads make it hard for me to ask for help from the author.
Just wondering... if S2's lite'ning ROM is based on Samsung stock (non AOSP), how do people change out specific apps?

You need to be rooted, and you replace certain apk files in the /system/app folder. But you need to be certain to use files compatible with your particular build of Android.
Remote controls

Ah, cool, thanks for the link.
Going to flash to 2.7 first. I hope I don't have to do clear it to factor settings again.
I've got a simple question which i'm not gone solve on mine own.
I searched every corner of xda Sub-Forums : Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 and tried several things already, like replacing the apk in system/app folder with root explorer - but with zero result.
I'm using right know the F1 GalaxyNexus ROM and this came with the AOSP email client.
In this mail client I don't have the option to set time and weekdays for sync with the server and that is a big problem for me (not so big, but.....)
Is there a mailclient available from the stock rom ICS from sammy which I can use on this rom?
Any help will be appreciated!
And for those who also need there 10 posts to get in the god-like Development forums, I don't need replies with "I'm using this and it's working great"
I just need someone who knows where this mailclient is hidden on XDA
*bump* and update.
Let me rephrase the question, because I wonder what I'm asking is even possible.
Because after a day of use with the F1 GalaxyNexus Rom i saw that the Exchange service drained the battery with 43%.
So for the moment it's not even a option to use it and I did move on to moxier mail exchange.(for the moment)
So, is it even possible to push a mail.apk & exchangeservices.apk stockrom ICS from Samsung to a AOSP rom? and get it to work......
Or is this a sitution that sometimes you win some and sometimes you loose some
Hi,
i want to swap to a AOSP based rom but i want to be able to take some samsung apks with me... is this at all possible?
the ones i want are:
Dialer (Phone)
Alarm clock
Samsung memo
Gallery
Calculator
Web Browser
fm radio
txt message apk
Most (or all) of these apps require touchwiz framework, so the answer is yes and no.
Yes, if you take also the Samsung's Touchwiz launcher and some libraries (jut enough for these apps to work), but then, that defeats the purpose of going to AOSP.
No, not if you don't want Samsung touchwiz at all.
im sure ive seen people using samsungs camera on AOSP and also "s memo"... :S have they had coding changed to be ported or something?
if so does anyone have any idea if any of the apks ive mentioned have also been ported??
thanks guys really apreciate the help
this forum used to be a lot more helpful :/...
anyway, ive managed to find SOMETHING
there are some ported apks linked below - in case anyone else has the same question as me and maybe sees this thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632639
anyone have any other information about other apks or updates please let me know
You can use this mod to run samsung camera on CM10/AOSP

I have used it myself.
You will need to flash it with CMW recovery.
