[Q] How to install aosp apps on doc rom - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched everywhere but can't find anything,
I would love to use the stock calendar app on doc's rom or any other rom for that matter. But i'm not able to find anything that works.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
I've read that if you use the aosp mail app, the camera fc's.
But nothing about the calendar app.
I would love to know a bit more, I can't imagine it's that difficult.
There is a thread for stock eclair apps and I remember using them once, they seemed to work I recall.
If anyone knows a way I would love to know, I'm getting pretty frustrated with samsungs aproach to the calendar

Any idea how to install aosp calendar?

It's in the market.
You'll have to uninstall the Samsung one first, then reboot.

No. The AOSP calendar is NOT in the Market.
I have the same question: how to get a working AOSP calendar in Froyo???
But in this strange sgs community, everybody seems to love so much the TouchWizz Calendar!
Bllblb. It's ugly, not practical, and you cannot read the events titles directly from the week view.
I succeeded installing the Calendar from a CM6.1 Nexus1 Rom. But not the Calendar sync. So it works, but you cannot choose wich calendar to hide.
So. I'm not responsible for nothing, but you can try what I have done.
Download the rom here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/187-update-cm-611-n1-signedzip/
Extract from system/app/calendar.apk
-> Or instead of 1. et 2. you can just download from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18608283/Calendar.apk
On your sgs, use Root Explorer (or ADB if you know how). Delete (make backup first) TWcalendar.apk in system/app/ in your device.
Push the calendar.apk from the rom into system/app/ in your device.
Install it.
Reboot.
You're done. As I have said, the app works, but it Force Closes whenever you try to get in menu/more/calendars.
If somebody have an idea to get he whole thing working... It'd be great!

I don't think this is true either, where did you get this info from may I ask?
Thanks Judim but I have also tried that, had the same problem.
I'm using "Touch Calendar Free" at the moment, it's not as good as google's but still beats the living sh** out of samsungs...
Ah well if this thread bumps we'll just have to wait for CM7 to arrive or buy a Nexus S.
The first way is a bit cheaper though

Try also Business Calendar Beta from the Market. It could be a replacement waiting for a CM7.
I see you're also coming from the Hero... Small device but great CM roms
Cheers!

Here is an AOSP calendar app that I'm using on my Vibrant. It does have the fc issue when selecting more calendars, but does not have the dark bar at the top blocking week one of the month. It does have a skewed transparency up there, but its a mere annoyance and won't affect anything. Push to system/app. Oh the icon is ginger-green to match my rom, but thats all that I changed with the apk.

Facebook sync

Hey guys!
I'm running the new froyo (rel:11 themed) and I am still having the same problem I have always had with android. On a real android phone one would go to settings> accounts and sync> add account> facebook. This would add my facebook contacts and should technically sync the profile pictures of my current contacts. The problem is when I click on "facebook", it just kicks me back to the main accounts and sync page. I really just want to update my current contacts with their current facebook pics. I know there are apps for it, but they are all pretty bad. Plus I should be able to just do it on my phone without any other apps. Let me know what the deal is and if you guys have have any suggestions.
Thanks
no one knows why?
people probably know why, they have probably answered it atleast a few times
the forum search is a beautiful thing.
if its anything like it was in eclair for some reason facebook only likes to sync with a certain phone (i think its the Dream). something needs to be changed for it to work K_K did this in his eclair build i dont think anybody has in Froyo yet
FYI
This may have already been posted but the new facebook app in the market will sync correctly with Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2.
Can't remember where, but I know I saw it in the XDA Developers forums.
Risk about sync with facebook is your contact database gets huge.
Some people have reported sizes of 50+MB for contacts, because of pictures, etc.
You might not want to do that... just stick with the google contacts.
i notice that it runs without any problems in cyanogen, but fresh froyo is still missing this feature, even after installing latest facebook 1.3.2! you can select adding a facebook account, but nothing will happen. and the possibility to sync after installing facebook and setting it up, is missing too. any ideas anyone?
already checked the forum and searches... no solution helped (clearing app-cache,e.g.)

Get the Google apps zip in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722801
Then try adding the GooglePartnerSetup.apk to the install archive (use 7-zip) and reinstall.
No idea if it works but Fresh Froyo doesn't have all the Google Apps apk's unlike the CyanogenMod port and that one sounds like it could have something to do with it.
...starting! will post results...
used the latest un-odexed fresh froyo and added googlepartnersetup.apk... didnt do the trick. next step: adding all the google apps 2 see, if there is anything working then.
not working either... so its not depending on one of googles apks from that package.
Any luck with this? Having the same problem.
have you got the latest Facebook app from the market. It was suppose to fix the issue
yep, latest facebook doent do the trick either... no solution found yet!

[Q] Stock Motoblur Keyboard and Calendar APKs?

I switched to the Liberty Rom which is awesome, but I loved my stock motoblur calendar and keyboard. Does anyone know how to find them or get them back?
Steve
calendar .apk here, keyboard don't have ready yet
Sweet, thanks!
Wont install... what am I doing wrong?
non market app's allowed to install in your settings?
that's the only thing I can think of
No, I can install non market apps, I wonder if its the Liberty Rom. I tried to restore my calendar through Titanium and it wouldn't do it either. Oh well, I downloaded a different calendar which I am okay with for now.
Steve
could be, I know a lot of these blur items require other parts of blur to work

emmc music, use doubletwist, or similar to fix for now, no true hw acceleration, and a popup when downloading from market about file size.
Hmmm ok I'll try it out, hopefully the calendar shows this time. I tried the MIUI.us one and didn't have a calendar

i've been working on that, it's been a lingering issue. but on my last 4 boots with install it's been there.
Just loaded it on and everything works as it should. Even put Apex on so now I have either MIUI launcher or stock launcher!
Although I'm having problems with root permission and the keyboard doesn't do as well as correcting like the AOKP ICS build
**Sorry didn't see the post about the SU flash...I'll try that**
Just thought I would put out my findings so far on this version:
Cons:
- After putting on the SU flash it seems to have helped with the root permissions. Root Explorer crashes on me when I open it, it asked for root permission and this FC's.
- The keyboard doesn't recognize words like the typical ICS keyboard does and puts the red line under normal words that you would use. Even changing keyboards it still does it in the messaging apps and things. Not sure if it's a translation thing or what. Like in notes I have "one call for scheduling" for some notes I took and all four of those words have red lines under them.
- Notes and a few other things aren't translated to English, still is in Chinese even though I have English set as the language.
- Autobrightness doesn't seem to work the best, it stays pretty dim after the screen goes off and back on.
Pros:
- Battery life seems to be good but I haven't charged completely to test, I just charged a light charge and has stayed at the battery level for about a hour now and I have used it slightly so it does appear that it's good.
- Not really by your doing but it's nice being able to use the Apex launcher with the MIUI launcher so you could have the vanilla ICS look as well as MIUI look without changing roms.
- Gallery works fine on my end as well as the external music files. Doesn't read the internal but that's already posted I believe.
Hope that's not to long of a post and provides some good feedback, Calendar showed up this time on this flash and everything else seems to be working like it should
Is the fixed ROM a flashover and is there a way to get rid of the "download size requires WI-fi"?
Hey Mark, loving this rom so far. Seems really solid and am looking forward to the next update.
Was the 1x4 miui music widget removed? I'm only seeing the 4x4. Any way to get that back?
Just rembered: the Facebook sync, under accounts and sync, doesn't work. When you choose it, it just returns you to the account list.

If the widget was removed it was because of china, we should see it again soon though. This week they reintroduced their "custom music" app. For facebook sync, ICS removed it, you will need to download an app from market, i use http://tinyurl.com/7snt9sw from market. It syncs all contacts and pictures. Just add account from settings>accounts and sync

Thanks for the info! Surprised to hear ics removed Facebook integration. I'm a sucker for that kind of baked in goodness, but luckily there's usually an app for it.

[Q] Gingerbread stock apps on ICS

I was wondering if anyone has successfully ported Gingerbread Stock Applications onto their ICS Phone? I want to bring the stock Clock, Calendar, and Calculator apps from Gingerbread onto my ICS Phone. I love ICS and all, but I think google took a huge step backwards in those specific apps compared to Gingerbread. The clock no longer has a stop watch or timer, the calculator layout from GB was much easier and the history of calculations was quick and simple. And the calendar from GB was just much simpler and easier to use.
If anyone has done this please let me know
Thanks
Are you referring to AOSP gingerbread or Samsung gingerbread? There are ICS ROMs that have some Samsung apps ported. Try Doc's Master ICS
Sent from my ICS Samsung Captivate
Im talking about just regular stock gingerbread apps, so I guess that would be samsung gingerbread apps. Up until the last few months Ive used stock gingerbread that came with the phone. Couple months ago I rooted my phone and flashed ICS on there and have loved it since, but these apps are the only thing I miss from Gingerbread. If I downloaded Tibu onto my moms Samsung Fascinate (stock, brand new) and backed up those apps as .apk files and copied them over to my phone, would I be able to install them on my phone even though Im using a samsung captivate with aokp milestone 5 flashed? Or would that give me issues?
That makes sense, since stock ICS isn't going to have those apps. As I said, Doc's Master ICS has a lot of those. I'm pretty sure you will have trouble installing them manually. There may be a way that I don't know of though.
Sent from my ICS Samsung Captivate
Thanks. I might give it a try, I really dont like the ICS versions of those apps.
Hey Bdithug, I was wondering if you found a solution to this issue? I just hate the stock calculator from ICS also, but the one from Gingerbread was great. I have golaucher and APW widgets installed so I'm using their clock and calendar which are pretty good...
Let me know if it worked out for you installing the stock gingerbreag calculator apk onto your ICS phone...
Tx
I tried it. It didnt work. I downloaded apk extractor to send the .apk file from a stock fascinate on gb. when i tried installing the .apk file on my ics cappy it wouldnt let me because of the apps with the same name. so i uninstalled the ics calculator and calendar with tibu, and tried again, and still wouldnt let me. i just i have to resort to a 3rd party app from the market. still dont know why google would have removed features from the calculator app in the first place, thats not usually how updates to apps work. the calendar app for ics is a complete joke. still have not found a quick easy, simple yet attractive calendar app for android.
i have tried Doc's Master ICS, i didnt like it 'cuz i felt it a little unstable, now i'm using Slim ICS, happy whith it, but i was wondering how can i do to install the Samsung Stock Camera APK?? or another one like that???

I run Nostalgia 6.2 and happy with most of the apps. It's based on Slim ICS, but has all the things that I was missing in Slim
I like most of the apps that came with Nostalgia. I did install RealCacl to replace the stock one. RealCal is more of a scientific calculator.
Still getting used to the blue on dark theme. Especially in some html Gmail messages it really gets me
I stuck with aokp and installed acalendar app, easy calculator, and stop watch & timer.
Much better apps than ics stock calendar, calculator and clock

Broke Calendar Sync

Hey guys,
So after rooting my Droid 3, I sort of went nuts with Titanium freezing thing. I froze ~everything that looked even REMOTELY Motorola/Verizon.
A side effect of this is that I seem to have broken the Google Apps Calendar Sync. When I go to Accounts > Google, I no longer have "Sync Calendar", I have Sync com.android.calendar. It indicates "Sync is currently having problems. It will be back shortly." Of course, it doesn't ever come back.
What have I frozen/removed that would cause this, and is there an easy way to get my Google Calendar sync back?
THANKS!!
PS. My God this thing works 1000x better with out the bloatware!
Freezing apps is so 2011.
Just use a debloated ROM, or even use the debloat script (which is also outdated but not as outdated as freezing with tibu )
Yeah, I tried to use the bloat script but just couldn't get it to go. It kept crashing after the first couple of steps, so I went the Titanium Route.
I'm anxiously awaiting a Beta of the JB ROM, then I'm definitely going that route, but in the meantime, I need to figure out what I did!

I'm not even sure if the script still works (dont see why not but still).
I'd just install safestrap and get yourself mavrom or eclipse or w/e :good: . Even better than stock rom without bloat
Mavrom:

Eclipse:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/teamhaters/210971-eclipse-v3-0-droid-3-port.html
I will check that out.
Other than installing a new ROM, do you have any idea how I could fix the calendar sync?

If you really want to stay with your method.. I seem to recall others having calander problems after freezing some apks like yahoomessaging or socialmessaging or whatever in one of the older de-bloat topics. You might try and search for it (calender)
Double,
Thanks for the tip, you put me on the right track. It had been covered-ish in the Bloat Removal Script thread.
In case anyone else has this problem, I had to take Root Explorer and restore (rename the .bak) of the following files:
BlurCalendarProvider.apk
BlurCalendarProvider.odex
CalendarSync.apk
CalendarSync.odex
After I did that, the sync worked as expected.
Thanks for the help!!
