Is it possible to move the default widgets to an AOSP ROM?
After moving to CM7, I find that the my favorite News widget was the one included in the stock OS, and I was wondering if there was a way to move it. Simply pulling the APK from the deodexed ROM doesn't work. Is there another way?
TL;DR: I want me the stock News widget.

I'm running 2.2 aosp rom. i also have touchwiz launcher and the aosp launcher but the samsung widgets dont show up with either one.
Is it possible, after rooting, to get the stock Android unlockscreen?
not development moved to general
Just install "Widgetlocker" from market
You can customize it to look exact like stock lockscreen or with moer features
I use "Goto lockscreen" though

Is there any lag using widgetlocker? been tempted before but thought it might create some lag.
Fairly sure soon there will be a .zip file that will be available for the stock lockscreen or when we get an AOSP ROM the stock lockscreen will be included.

Haven't experienced any lag with DHD using widgetlocker...
but the alternative, would be to remove the LG lockscreen on a rooted phone and push stock lockscreen instead... should be possible already now, but haven't tried it... Guess I'll just wait a few days for custom ROM instead
Widgetlocker or GOTO lockscreen is the easiest alternative right now
Hi all!
Let's begin with the CM7 stuff with a must-have IMHO.
* AOSP Launcher2: Intended to those who wants a AOSP taste, to replace ADW Launcher with AOSP one. This launcher is sensible to theme modifications, so its images will turn cyan if we apply Cyanbread CM7 included theme. It's a repack for OB from frank707's CM7 GB Stock Launcher (cyanogenmod forums).

* Super AOSP Launcher2: Intended to those who wants a AOSP taste but with improved capabilities, to replace ADW Launcher with this AOSP style enhanced launcher. This launcher is not sensible to theme modifications, so its dock icons will remain at its original colour. It's a repack for OB from fabolous's Super Launcher2 for CM7 (rootzwiki forums). It features according to the author Extremely fast page scrolling and 3D app drawer, Customizeable hotseats (number, style, bg) and Auto rotation mantaining the AOSP flavour.

To install this stuff, just reboot into CWM and install zip from sdcard.
Regards.
After try both launcher, I stuck at normal AOSP one.
Regards!
Lol, can you port miui style launcher?

Installing Super AOSP Launcher2 apk, and wow it works.. hahaha
Thanks Huexxx.
Really love the normal AOSP launcher but i've spent the last half hour searching in the phone for the settings for this launcher.
Or there is no way to customize it?
No way to customize AOSP launcher AFAIK.
I thought so... ended up with Go Launcher for now.
Hi all!
I've updated first post with alternative download links.
Regards.
Huexxx i don't understand
what is aosp launcher? is the stock launcher from 2.2 distributed by LG?
AOSP launcher is stock Android launcher.

This stuff based on Gingerbread, the stock is still based on Froyo. You can try by extract the zip, then install it just like regular app/apk. If it doesn't work, you can remove it, or it will be removed by itself at reboot, because this is apk system.

It didn't worked.
how to i get back to the original launcher by CM7?
If you didn't uninstall it, go into the settings, go to applications, then choose you're current launcher and clear default actions of it. Then, pull led home and it will ask for which launcher you want to use.
I'm not sure its clear enough since my phone isn't in english. :S

Hello!
I am getting a little into flashing my N7000 and so far I have travelled from rooting, to upgrading to the latest official Note ROM that was released in another country than mine, to SuperNExus to most recently Slim Bean
I am missing a couple of the original apps from the stock ROM (latest one I used was "XXLSZ_Stock_deodexed_rooted_eybee1970")
Apparently, just copying them out from the ZIP file and trying to install them isn't the right way to do.
Among others, I need
* S Note
* The app/function that knows when I plug in my headset and it shows that whole new page
* Dialer
* Keyboard with the digits on top
* Clock / Alarm clock
* S Planner Calendar
Most important is that I want to learn more and understand the main problem.
So copying wasn't the right way.
I have a feeling (based on fragments that I read here and there) that flashing might be the right way, file-permissions and stuff.
If I am on the right track - is there any software/tool that creates a flashable file for me? I have been rooting around inside the ZIP files and I understand some of the ideas, the update-script and so. But trying to make one own from scratch is too hard right now.
Another problem I had once, was the pointer image. Previously, it was a nice little circle. Then at some point (maybe the Nexus ROM) it became a classical window-arrow. I managed to understand how to open an APK, switch out the PNG file and so on. But since I didn't know how to flash in just that APK, I had to flash in the whole ROM from scratch.
I assume that such tool I am asking about previously would have been the solution.
Beside that, I would like to know if anyone knows if there is an original-app-pack for Note already. I need to know the answer for above as well though
Thanks in advance!
[Q] Need some information about the lockscreen in SlimBean/SuperNexus ROM
I installed SuperNexus ROM and after that Slim Bean.
They both had that nice lock screen where you could swipe to bring forth the camera.
What is this lock screen called? I need that so that I can search for info about it.
Among the questions I have now are
* If I change to pattern instead of slide, I loose the ability to have shortcuts. Is there any other way to have shortcuts and pattern?
* When I swipe to the left, I see a + and I can add widgets. However, I can only add one widget and no ability to rescale the widget or anything. Is there a way to add more widgets per page or modifying the widget that is there already, like rescaling it?
Thanks!
The Samsung apps like Snote and Splanner will not work on the non-touchwiz custom roms like supernexus or slimbean. So if you want those apps you will have to flash a TW (touchwiz based) ROM like the alliance ROM. The other features like pagebuddy and the keyboard with digits on top will also be available only in the TW ROMs (you can search apps for the keyboard and pagebuddy and you may find them)

The lockscreen you are talking about is the 4.2 lock screen with lock screen shortcuts. It is a feature of Android 4.2 only. And no u do not have an option for shortcuts on the pattern lock or any of the other secure ways. But you may add a widget for the app on the lock screen clicking on the '+' symbol. And i had read about adding multiple widgets on one page of the lock screen but didn't come across with anything useful then. You can give it a try now.

What does it mean, "touchwiz based ROM". I have seen other terms, "X"-based ROM (maybe CM-based or other terms).
Is touchwiz so much more than just a launcher?

Thank you - this led me to the right direction. Sometimes you just don't know what is a native Android feature and what is a custom one
Well TW ROMs are touchwiz based ROMs. If you look out for the ROMs repository for the note, you'll notice the categories are TW based JB ROM etc. When u see the name of a rom, if there is [TW] written before it's name, it is a touchwiz based ROM. And touchwiz is not just a launcher. Touchwiz is the samsung customised version of Android like the sense UI by htc.

Okay, I understand better now.
I am assuming that you are a Note user. Can you give me your opinion on the difference, if there are any, between a TW based, or others, beside compatibility of a selection of apps and so. Is there any real, big, important difference?
And one more thing. When the term "custom ROM" is used, is that what is meant by it? A custom ROM is per automatic not the original TW in the Galaxy Note case? Or does it mean something else?
The difference between a TW ROM and a non TW ROM like a CM based ROM is in the features. TW ROMs use the stock Samsung created touchwiz roms as a base and build up on that. So u can find the stock apps and everything else with some customisations. Whereas the CM based ROMs are built upon the CyanogenMod which is in many ways similar to the original Android os available on the Google nexus. A custom ROM is a customised ROM developed by a developer. The other type of ROM is the stock ROM which you get preinstalled on your note. So all the ROMs you'll get on xda are custom ROMs developed by certain developer.

Hi
If anyone can help with this I would be very grateful, I have two N7000's. One is loaded with Ultimate Rom and the other with Carbon Rom. I really liked some of the features of the Ultimate Rom that are not present on Carbon Rom.
The first is the widgets Ultimate Rom came with, I really like the music player widget and I can't find this anywhere on the Android market, does anyone know what it is called or know where a link to the APK can be found? Same goes for the stock weather/clock widget.
Secondly I know the framework for TW is different but is there anyway to get the SNote, SPlanner and screen shot functions to work with Carbon Rom? If not are there any decents alternatives?
Any help would really be appreciated
Thanks
For all the Samsung widgets to run, you will need tw launcher and framework installed. It does work on cm as well if you install the tw launcher. Search for it you will get a flashable zip. Make sure to make a backup before.
