[Q] Where to download stock android apps?!

So I deleted a bunch of Samsungs replacement apps and i'm now without contacts, clock, etc. - Where can I download the stock applications that Android 2.2 comes with? I tried googling a bit, without luck. :/

It's illegal to host them so you'll have to find them hosted somewhere other than XDA. I don't have a Galaxy S so I don't hae a proper link for you guys but someone else should.
I also suggest you make backups with titanium backup before you remove applications that are core to the ROM.

It's not the samsung stock apps i'm looking for, it's the AOSP apps - the original android applications Why should they be illegal to host?

[Q] All stock apps gone.

After haveing installed CM7 on my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 all my stock apps went missing, including market and samsungs own social hub and so on. How do I restore these? Should I install a orginal samsung rom and thereafter reinstall CM7 to hope for a better result? Everything else is working, just missing all these apps.

The samsung apps rely on twframework-res (Samsung's framework), which is not present in AOSP-based roms (CM7/MIUI) and thus none of the stock apps will work.
The most notable omission is the video player, which is by far the best and fastest available for our devices.
On the subject of Market being missing, that is most definitely odd.
Maybe try fully reflashing CM7, with wipe of user data and /system, /cache and /data (look in 'Mounts and Storage' in CWM)

For the market I'm pretty sure you need to flaah gapps

I am afraid you have to choose between CM7 and Samsung apps. It's a personal choice.

[Q] Widget on CM7?

Can somebody please tell me if there is a working Samsung Galaxy S2 Digital Clock widget for Cyanogenmod 7?
I've tried to install two different apk's, but the system refuses to accept them
Edit: Even Titanium Backup doesn't want to restore the files that I have from a backup.

It has different framework, you cant restore it. And no, I think you cant install it, as i said, it needs touchwizz framework

[Q] Apps restore

Is there any program to make backup of apps, but only names (not APKs, not data etc.)?
I want to mass download all my apps, that I had before, but using Google Play.

Hi,
Ultimate Backup provides an option to share your list of installed apps. It can even include the Play Store link and version.

Ultimate Backup is the best .. but titanium backup is not bad

You can try MyBackup but it may be a problem to backup only names. I tried backup only apk. It works but when i tried to load backup on new soft it fall in bootloop. But i think on rooted phone it will work well

but when you restore programs after flashing a new rom it´s possible that you "build" bugs...for example flashing ics and then restore app´s which were installed under gb isn´t so good

If I got it right, then the question was how to export a list of installed apps to be able to install them again from Market. Manually that would be, without a backup of APK or app data.

with appbrain and also with the last relase of Market you can see the storyline of your app installed in your device

Guys, first of all - thanks for replying.
My idea is to "backup" apps without backing up any APKs or data (DO CLEAN INSTALL DOWNLOADING LATEST VERSIONS OF APPS) to prevent any bugs on new ROM.
Elentirmo74, yes, something like that.
So, for now the only solution is to use Appbrain storyline or Google Play Store history.

Play store has a list of all apps you have ever installed across all devices. That sounds like all you need as you can then redownload and install the ones you want.

5+ rom for G800F that doesn't have apps installed in separate folders

Hello,
I came to the point 4.4 needs to be upgraded.
Is there any 5+ rom for G800F that doesn't have apps installed in separate folders?
Regards,
Alen

nobody?

background - why do i need it... titaniumbackup nandroid functionality does not work, preventing play store and play services update is impossible

OK... from lack of replies I suppose there isn't any rom with such properties newer than KK.
So, I would like to ask you how do you deal with selective restores from nandroid backup?
Also, how do you prevent Google Play and Google Play Services being updated automatically?

What's the problem with separated folders for apps, may I ask? It's how it works from Android 5.0 and above, all ROMs...
If you sign the app with test-key it won't update, but I've never used it with a Google app to see it there are side effects... There is a free app that can do it (replace the original key to a test one).

the main problem is, as i already mentioned, titanium backup, that detects only data in twrp nandroid backup. also, inability to prevent automatic updates by creating "fake" folders.
what do you have in mind for resigning? zipsigner? never thought of that, but might be a dirty workaround. probably the attempt to update will still happen and fail. also, when decided to update the procedure will be more complicated. hoping there are no side effect. will try and report.

Yes, the app I mentioned is ZipSigner, I've used it with ES File Explorer for keeping and old adware free version...
As for TiB, it's weird... Probably they need to update the app, since Android 5.0 that apss are stored in folders... Or you can use another backup utility, ES File Explorer for instance can save apps and their data (needs root of course).

resigning does not work... play store stops working by saying "authentication required. you need to sign into your google account."
you got me wrong about titanium backup. it otherwise works, it just does not detect apps in nandroid backups - it shows only data. important here is nandroid backup. i'm quite surprised they forgot about this aspect since 5 already.
and btw... deducing from the thread about preventing update with "fake" folder... it seems some stock 5+ roms still install apps in an old way - it depends on package installer.
