Hi guys, i've changed the stock rom in the device with cyanogenmod 12.1, but now I no longer have several apps that I used frequently.
For example, I need to find LG's backup app because, as I saved all my contacts in an .sbf file, now I no longer have access to them.
Another app thai I used quite frequently is Quickmemo, do you know any other good alternative to this?
I also cannot find any good app for my camera, notes and recorder.
Cyanogenmod's recorder stops every time i lock the screen, while the camera is slow when focusing.
I am looking for apps which are lightweight in terms of ram space.
Can you please help me find apps which are compatible also with my rom?

This CM12.1 rom is not complete and was abandoned a while ago so it is likely to have bugs. As for the apps, if you do some research you may find some ports of LG's apps for AOSP ROMs but they are rare, and unlikely to work because they need libraries only included in stock ROMs.
Try to find a more stable ROM with AOSP camera working before you attempt anything.

Hey guys,
i rooted my phone some days ago, threw everything that's Samsung out of it (Gallery, Calendar, Tasks, the hubs etc.) and replaced it with stock ICS stuff. However, I haven't found a way to replace the samsung dialer or the contacts app with their resective AOSP equivalents. Is there a way to do that?

yes its there to replace, but from my past it will often give you problems over time. so its better to use some alternative dialers or simply you can try some custom aokp/aosp roms.
Use custom ROM which is based of Samsung with themed as aosp.
Do a search for aospcontactsmms.zip I used to have it but stopped using it due to it causing problems with the built in blacklist.

Thanks for the replies So far, I'm really impressed by how well everything works, even after removing some Apps Like all the hubs, chat, samungs e-mail and calendar app etc.
I really thought i would run into problems, since this is the first time i rooted an android phone and messed around with it. I will now try to replace the contacts app etc., and if that causes problems I'll go for cm9...or is there a ROM that's even closer to "stock ics"?
Stock ics .... Look under Android development.
Hi guys,
I have used CM9 for a long long time on my SGS1 and the battery was amazing.
When I got my i9300 some months ago, i tried CM9 as soon as it was made available.
Soon I returned to a Samsung based ROM for one reason: the camera application.
Now I know that a project was started to bring some of the functionality to AOSP based roms here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746611
Still the HDR functionality is missing and to be honest I simply would like the Samsung camera to work on CM10.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Samsung's camera needs the Touchwiz framework to operate, since all these apps and system modifications are heavily interdependant and cannot be individually moved around.
There should be enough other camera applications in Play Store, are there really NONE you like?
Should be able to port it if you want to take the time. Just make sure you have updated things to work with! How to port!
i am not sure if you noticed that while on CM10, the pictures and video playback quality is not as good as the stock gallery and stock player.
The pictures and videos seemed to have more noise on them.

Have you used the Samsung camera with that phone? It is amazing, and no pixel fuzz, and HDR and panorama, etc etc. It really is the best camera app.
If you really want it, I've made a package including the latest Samsung JB Camera app and the TouchWiz framework. It's not tested but uses the same principle as the Samsung Apps for CM10, so it might work. As always, backup first, then flash the zip with CMW. You can get it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?c7g9v8pup1x7r8j. Let me know if it works.

I flashed it and nothing happened. I don't see any camera app after the installation
I flashed it and with the new framework it say Optimizing apps.. so I take it, my install is goofy now with TW crap and it seems to be running with twice as much current..
Anyways no camera install, if I add the apk it just wont install, and not sure if it is because of CM10 mmqualcommcamera as kernel process..
But Samsung apps works.
I want to use Cyanogen or Slimbean etc. but I frigging hate the Camera app and I really hate the clock app too. I really don't want to use an official rom for my phone but I really cannot part with those apps.
Is there anyway I can use something like Titanium Backup to save the .apk and just overwrite it over the Cyanogen/Slimbean one instead?
I can't stress how badly I need to do this, it's the deal-breaker of Cyanogen.. I've never tried it before but I don't want to waste a couple of hours flashing and revamping to find that I can't do it.. :/
Has anyone tried? I can't find another thread over it... just on the HTC camera app.

AFAIK you can't. The camera app on Stock rom is a touchwiz based app. Won't be compatible with CM
What if I move touchwiz with me? You mean the launcher right, or is that something different completely :/ is there really no way to even try and get it working as a beta? I mean it's leagues ahead of Cyanogen's Camera app and I take so many pictures with my phone... I really miss those options.
Touchwiz is not just the launcher. Its the name of the software framework running on the phone (android x.x + all the other stuff including the interface, camera, messaging apps etc. Since the camera app is part of that, it's impossible to port it to for example cyanogenmod.
You should just wait for android 4.2 to be ported to the s3. As far as i have seen the camera works great with many options !
Greetings everybody,
As the title suggests, I want to switch to using a custom rom as my daily driver,
First I like the stock android look better than touchwiz's, and having the ability to tweak my phone to my liking is tempting.
But there are a few things holding me back from doing that, I've tried using AOKP 4.2.2 ROM a few days ago but went back to the factory setup immediately after for a few reasons:
1- Camera's auto-focus has gotten slow and faulty, and the quality of the images worsened.
2- I couldn't sync facebook with my contacts (profile pictures show on contacts).
3- Many apps that came built in with samsung's touchwiz were removed and I had to download similar ones from the play store (music player, fm radio, file browser etc... I also found that setting up my ringtone is a bit fiddly.
If somebody could help me find a way to address some of these problems that's be very much appreciated.
Thanks in a advance!
I'm sorry I'm gonna post it on Q&A, just delete it from here.

Quality of images can't be solved, but auto focus is solved in the recent nightlies
Use haxsync or uber sync for fb contacts
The samsung apps need the framework (touchwiz) and will not work on AOSP

Use touchwiz based roms , you ll have the exact same stock look and feel and better performance , the apps you wanted will be present in them and they will mostly be stable , so you wont have any problems , plus you ll have root so you can do all the tweaking you wanted and are interested in
Go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220154 - look at roms under samsung base Enjoy! Welcome to Rooting , Youre never going back !
I had the same thing but I just kept flashing roms to see wich I like best. Seems sotmax seems ok for now im just waitin for a 4.2 rom wich does not drain my battery while I setup my phone and apps. (I found out if I read properly it might be kernel related and that there is no official good kernel for the 4.2 android.)

Hello,
I'm writing because I've seen this issue since a longer time on my phone.
When I restart sometimes some random app is missing. Thing is when I restart again the app is back in the list and works fine.
I think some time ago I found others having similar issues somewhere hidden in other links on Google but I can't find them anymore for the same of this thread x_x
Normally people seem to have trouble with (all) apps on sd card disappearing after reboot. I don't use that feature; I install everything on internal memory and it is always some other app (random). And the app returns working normally after restart.
Note: the missing app I see missing normally through the system itself, as the app is not listed under apps. So nova launcher and others also do not display it.
Anyone seen this too?
I noticed that titanium backup restores the missing app fine and then the app works without a restart. Also I checked the directory /data/app and also found the apk of the missing app.
How does android get the available apps on boot and how would it forget some of them? And how to fix...?
I'm on android 4.4 (slimkat) on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with leankernel.
Thanks!

Hi , did you tried to flash stock firmware with odin or SmartSwitch and see if the apps are missing again ?
Sorry, I was absent and did not receive a message for this thread.
Thank you for your reply!
Well, it is hard to see. I'm happy with this rom so I'm having a difficult time using other roms. I cannot recall having this on another rom I used before for a few months (bobcat rom, based on Kitkat Samsung stock).
It might be worth reinstalling the current rom for testing. Seeing everything up though takes its time though.
I was kinda hoping someone had that experience and pointed to something like some xposed module which I love. It is not easy to test because I mostly do not know/notice there is an app missing. Just sometimes my quick settings times with the apps show "error". Then I know something is wrong. So easily weeks pass by until I find this again...
