[Q] Custom Galaxy S4 ROM: Getting old apps back - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've recently got myself a samsung galaxy s4. Naturally, the first thing I did was root it and put a custom ROM on it. However, there are a few stock features that I would like back (Read: A FEW), such as the one that tracks your eyes so the screen doesn't rotate when you're lying down.
Is there any way (like a selective app pack, or apks) to get some of the stock features back on my custom ROM? I'm running the latest slimbean.

Not unless you run a touch wiz rom.

Flash stock kernel rom from home base rom

Hey Guys!
Just installed CWM onto my phone. I have one question as the title says. If I install the home base ROM, how do i later install the Stock ROM back without losing anything? Like CWM or the unlocked bootloader etc?
Would like to try out differenct kernels on my phone now. But I need to know whether i can go back to stock without losing anything.. Data / Apps would be fine.
Another question, which is the best kernel? Home base rom without any bloatware is the one I am thinking of getting into. Please advise.
Don't bother with home base. Development is dead and home base is based on out dated code. Your best bet is joker's ROMs and kernels. Skinny will give you a Sprint bloat free ROM while retaining all the core functionality of the stock moto ROM. For example, the stock music player gives you shoutcast and podcast support, this is retained in skinny.
Joker stock gives you a tuned, stock experience. Skinny gives you a light weight screamer. Skinny complete gives you all the improvements of skinny plus webtop+. Joker also has a ton of kernels to play with.
Hey loki. First of all i really appreciate your work out here
Ok so i'll have a look into jokers roms... but again if i wanna get back to stock by removing all the custom kernels?

[Q] Samsung Dive On Non-Stock ROM???

hey guys, this may be getting into the realm of a "stupid question" but I'm wondering if there's any way to get the samsung dive service working on a custom rom. I know the few roms that I tried that were based on touchwiz already had it activated and working. What I'm thinking about is the other AOSP based roms that are almost plain jane jelly bean (4.1.1 or 4.1.2).
is there an apk or some update.zip I can install and get that option back, not that I really ever used it but still, it would be nice

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also looking for. Just updated my S2 to JB 4.1.2 and Samsungdive is gone
In order for non-stock ROMs to work with Samsungdive (which I am very found of, BTW), there are 2 requirements:
1) It must be based on a stock ROM
2) the samsung framework must be kept in the ROM along with a few other samsung components that make the link between the device and the SamsungDive servers
Unfortunatly SamsungDive is heavily dependant on the Samsung framework, so if either one of the above is not true, it isn`t gonna work.
Forget about using it on AOSP, AOKP, MIUI, etc, because they don`t have the Samsung Framework (obviously).

[Q] Favorite Apps or Camera option missing from Mutiple Widgets screen

Hi all
In the stock Samsung Jelly Bean 4.3 OS I have seen many folks talk about how to use the following option....
Settings - My Device - Lock Screen - Lock Screen Widgets - Favourite Apps or Camera
but I don't have that option on my Galaxy Note 2 at all after updating to Jelly Bean 4.3 (N7100XXUEMK9, which I think is the official version for my Note 2 , living in the UK)
Can anyone else please check if they have the above option on their stock 4.3 installation? I would really like to be able to make use of this feature and loads of people are talking about how to use it so it must be that a lot of people have it on their Note 2.
What I don't understand is the reason why it's not on mine. Is it....
- wrong firmware
- faulty installation (I have tried it twice now)
- simply not meant to be available on UK phones on 4.3
If anyone else with a Note 2 running any of the stock 4.3 versions can check to see if they have it (or not), and what location their firmware is, it would help me out.
Thanks a lot.

[SOLVED] Installing the stock camera on a custom ROM - Help

Hi all. I honestly can't find an answer or any solution that has worked for me for this. I am trying to install the Samsung stock camera application onto my CyanogenMod ROM (4.2.2) but so far attempts to install manually or restore via Titanium Backup have not worked. I tried the modded Camera apks however they do not install and moving the apks manually to the system app folder still doesn't work. Has anyone got a solution to this? I really don't like the Cyanogen/AOSP camera app as it's quality is worse than the stock one.
Samsung "stock" apps require the touchwiz framework in order to function......this is something that is NOT and NEVER WILL BE included in CM ROMs.......
What you're asking just ain't ever gonna happen/work.......

Ah okay that explains it. Looks like I'm going back to Chameleon ROM then.
I think that's your only option....that or one of the other hybrid ROMs.....
The only downside to that being that as they are Sammy based, you're never going to get a KitKat hybrid.......
Sent from my Markox powered KitKatted S2
Yeah, but it's a downside I'm willing to put up with - just so my camera is the stock one (I like it since the images come out better). If I could find another hybrid ROM like Chameleon, except on Android 4.2.2 (like the last stock ROM) that would be great.
4.1.2 was the last stock update that the S2 had.....

Samsung Galaxy Light Custom Roms

Hey guys I have a Galaxy Light and I want to to try out new Roms for the device 4.4 and higher. I've tried the TigerLilly rom along with CM 12 rom which was super buggy and also the lightwave rom. I want something that is close to the stock experience and probably on lollipop because I like the way the material design looks. So can somebody develop a new rom for this device if not already? Also I was wondering if you develop a new rom for it, include swap in the kernel. I was trying to expand the ram using my sd card and it told me swap wasn't enabled.
