Just looking to see if someone who's rooted their captivate on froyo could attach the froyo compatible apk for the standard captivate calendar. My girlfriend really wants to put it on her droid2 since her stock calendar sucks in comparison. I'd really appreciate it
The captivate calendar sucks imo. You don't get any smart links. So no url, phone, or email in the calendar appointment work

You can download Cognition 2.2 (look in the development section), unzip it, and grab the apk out of the /system/app folder.
Jorte is a great calendar/agenda/tasks app + widget that's free

cool thats what i was looking for
My bad domin8 just realized you were wanting the TouchWiz Calendar instead of stock Froyo. I'm not trying to hijack your thread but I'm going to leave this up anyways if anyone wants the Froyo Stock 2.2 Calendar instead of the TouchWiz Calendar, Heres how to do it.
--Original Post--
Just a FYI the process is not the same as with 2.1 stock calendar. With busybox and Rooted Froyo this worked for me.
Download stock 2.2 calendar apk from CyanogenMod or I have It attached to this post.
put the Calendar.apk in the same folder as adb.exe
Code:
adb push Calendar.apk /sdcard/Calendar.apk
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
mv TouchWizCalendar.apk TouchWizCalendar.old
mv TouchWizCalendar.odex TouchWizCalendar.odex.old
busybox cp /sdcard/Calendar.apk /system/app/TouchWizCalendar.apk
reboot
Let me know if this works for you or not!
Wow!...Worked for me but whats that grey buffed area on the top? Looks likes someone wiped his dirty finger on the calendar app..

In the stock calendar, can you click on phone numbers, urls, and email links in a meeting? If so do the links work in both the body (notes area) as well as the location area?

Yeah, I'm not sure what that is. On 2.1 stock calendar it was a non-transparent big blue bubble with a + sign right over the days of the week. At least on 2.2 its transparent and doesn't cause any functionality loss.

Yes, all links, Phone #'s, & addresses are clickable in both the body and location areas.
The only problem I have found is when I press menu and select "Calendars" it force closes. Its not a big deal for me but it may be for some of you who would like to disable some of your calendars like the "My Calendar"

I've looked high and low and cannot find any place for samsung widgets. I like their social and buddy widgets.
Any ideas for the captivate, I installed Cog 2.1 and it got rid of them (don't know why, the widgets are pretty decent).
Thanks In advance.
I'm not up to speed on Cognition but you might check /system/app to see if the SamsungWidget_FeedAndUpdate.apk was renamed to make it disappear. Just a thought.

I'd like to know this, tooooo. The Samsung FB widget was much better than the widget that comes with the FB app from the market, imo
Someone here was nice enough to PM me and send me an extracted APK for the widget; however, I loaded it on my phone and just can't seem to find it when I go to add a widget. I'm using Applauncher, not sure if that has anything to do with it... Any ideas on how I could get it to show up?

I was messing around with the Galaxy Tab firmware and found that its email app is really nice and works amazingly well on JI6 for our Captivates. I definitely like it better than our stock email app.
The only problem I've found, and it's relatively minor, is that I can't scroll to the very bottom of emails, so the last few lines of emails aren't visible unless they're short and don't require scrolling. Usually it's just a signature or something unimportant that isn't visible, but it would be awesome if we could figure out a way to fix it. It surely has something to do with the Tab having a higher resolution screen than us.
I attached some screenshots and the apk for people to fiddle with.
Installation Instructions
1. Backup and delete Email.apk and Email.odex in /system/app.
2. Copy the new Email.apk to /system/app and select/install it from there using a file manager.
does look interesting, looks alot more feature rich than the captivate email client, hoping the cut off gets fixed n ill deff download
looks very nice! does it only get cut off while in landscape mode or does the orientation not matter?
Have you tried it with Exchange? If so, does it let you picke which folders to sync?
Does it co-exist with the existing email client or do you have to replace the Captivate one?
nice find
just installed and all you need to do is pinch to zoom and you can see the bottom!!!!!
I will be using this now! Thanks again sweet find!
As for exchange you might be able to get it through IMAP but i dont know for sure!

Gets cut off in both.
The landscape mode is really cool though. Oh, and animations (scrolling, zooming, page transitions, etc) are all very smooth.

Don't think it lets you pick which folders to sync with Exchange.
Not sure if it can coexist. Maybe someone with a little more development experience can chime in and tell us how to do that.

What should I use to uninstall then install this? Root Explorer, or Droid Explorer?

You can use Root Explorer for everything.
Well root explorer doesn't give me an option to uninstall when I click the apk, and Titanium Backup can't find it to uninstall it.

Just delete the Email.apk and Email.odex files after copying them over to your SD. Then copy the new Email.apk over to system/app and click it to install. All from Root Explorer.
Thanks,it works and its nice. Let me know if there are any other apks that we can replace!

If I do this via ADB, can i just run ADB install? Or does it have to be in the system/app directory first?

He said in the system app directory, so thats what I did. But you could try a straight install and tell us if it works.

A straight install definitely doesn't work.
Is there a way to have the phone think it isn't a file that already exists in the phone so I don't have to delete the default email app?
I found good and bad - the good is that typing a name that is on the Exchange server (not on the phone) and it automatically searches for you and pulls it back.
The bad - I can't find anyway to sync any other folder. Even moving to my junk email or sent folder and nothing updates.
Looks like i am going back to 2.1 for now.
EDIT - spoke to soon, eventually they flow into Junk email box, but no way to force sync.
Also, the buttons are to small for the Captivate screen (compose, forward, reply) - but the client is nicer then stock - if only it were built for the captivate.
EDIT 2: seems to be no way (I can find) to turn off images - so all the web beacons and stalker tags are activated.
App looks very nice and we can hope some of the pretty-ness can eventually make into the Captivate app. Looks like there are some exchange issues trying to use on the 2.2 captivate build. Not sure if its the captivate itself or just an incompatibility between the app and OS, but push email doesn't seem to work for me and I have some issues getting it to sync a full 2 weeks work of email.
Sadly I am back to Touchdown until I can find a better option.
is there a reason my /system folder only has like 3.5 mb of free space?? I backed up the original email.apk, and tried to delete both original files, but they would never delete. I even tried to just replace with the new mail.apk but it said i didn't have enough free space. Using root explorer, btw
i hate to hyjack, but is there a place to find all the galaxy tab .apk's? id like to see what it has to offer, if the mail client is so good how is the browser?

Search for P1000XXJH3 firmware.
Has anyone else noticed that when you reply to an email in the native Email app (hosted exchange account here) nothing that you type appears in the reply?

No need to do that quite yet. Go to Froyo issues thread in general, and look for a link to the CM6.1 Email app. Replace the stock apk and odex with the downloaded file and the beta issues will be overcome.
I've got my NC rooted with GMail and Market working ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871210 )...
Next, it would be great to have contacts imported properly. Does anyone have any ideas how to get contact sync working with Google on the NC?

Lets just go ahead and add Calendar as a direct addition to Contacts. I believe the biggest hurdle was getting the market ported so gmail sync was locked in. Now that permissions seem to work, hopefully these two (contact/calendar) can quickly be sideloaded and installed without a hitch.
Thanks!
Can you either upload or show us where to download the 2.1 contacts/calendar apks?
I've gotten the Calendar working, but not contacts. Was just asking about that here:

(also links there to the old cyanogenmod zip where I grabbed the Calendar apks ... just pushed 'em over, and all worked fine -- this is after getting market/gmail working with the instructions on nookdevs)

Thanks for the link.. Lets hope replacing contacts isnt too difficult with the existing NC bloat in the stock build.

Thanks a lot One more thing. conversation.apk, could You?
Here ya go again: http://www.mediafire.com/?i91sv85s6qudd05
Hmm, I was trying to change the conversation.apk (it's a sms app) in Gingerbread to this from Froyo but it's not so easy as I thought I was trying to paste it to system/app and change permissions but it don't want to work with the 2.3.4. Maybe you have any idea how to do this
Very cool

Not sure if it's going to work straight from the box on the blurred phone... but you can always try Cyanogenmod7 on MM2 ;-) (see development section).

In CM7 we can use this froyo app messaging?
The are a few issues with trying to use the Blur apps in non-blur roms. I used to like the Blur clock (for the dock) and tried to get it into CM7, but gave up instead and just used the default app.
For SMS, have a play with goSMS, its pretty similar to the blur one (they have a few skins which are similar, I changed my up and skinned it differently anyway)
I get a bit confused here. I just can't just instal Froyo messaging apk to have the ballon like visualisation? Just using specific apps?
Go message doesn't work to me, when message have 160+ characters when I send te people who receves get symbols like "! & %" and can't read.
