[Q] How do I get the "native" apps (phone, music player, ...)

I tested a Nexus 1 for a while - was very happy with it but bought a Samsung Galaxy instead.
I'm disappointed with all the Samsung-styled apps such as the phone app (contacts being a separate app), music player etc.
Is there a way to get the "native" apps into my I9000?
Or is there a ROM that has all the "original" apps?
I tried Darkys ROM - which in the newest edition has a keyboard similar to the Nexus 1 keyboard - much better than the Samsung breed. But the phone and music app are still the silly Samsung adaptions.

answering my own question - finally switched to Cyanogenmod and this has all the original Google apps on. Not sure though if it is not possible to just install the original Google apps via .apk files

[Q] MIUI with galaxy s features?

Is there a build of MIUI that keeps the features?
Like,
Samsung Codecs (Divx, Xvid MKV) + Samsung video player
Samsung Browser that supports flash, Camera app that lets me use my external storage
I Really do like the MIUI Rom but they have removed everything I love about the Galaxy S over other Android phones

Miui didn't remove anything, they just didnt work it out yet Miui is bulid on cm base, and because samsung has a closed source code it isnt that easy to implement those things that you are missing.

As Player i use QQPlayer which is able to play all file formats. (flv, avi, mp4....)
And the location for the pictures? Come on.
Copy your pictures from time to time on your external SD and the problem is gone...
As browser you have to use Dolphin Mini which supports Flash and all other things like gestures, bookmark sync, fullscreen and a very good speed...
MiUi is great, smooth and beautifull.

Why so old like raisin?

Today we have a super stable ICS and a nearly stable JB but why in a heck do people still use and cook GB and Froyo ROMS? I've even seen Eclair phones gingerbread is slow and the 3D driver is terrible. I wanted to test and went back to cm7 and played asphalt 6 and it was laggy as heck! It only gave up to 10fps! Not good, plus it shows a wrong radio bar cause when I have one bar and want to call, a message pops up saying I have no signal. So guys can you explain to me why most people still running GB and below?

Because: Samsung camera, music player, messaging app, contacts with slide function, memo etc. I'm still running GB only because I like the Touchwiz apps, and of course I'd upgrade to ICS/JB if they were possible to function..

But they do function! They're better than GB in many ways! Speed and stability and memory management are the key concepts.

maybe some people prefer stock features. Many people say samsung camera takes better photos (driver?), and I myself miss the stock music player even when I've been using ics and jb... and we still don't have any FM radio now

The stock music player is stupid because it doesn't have a filtering feature thus it plays every music file (ringtones, alarms, recordings etc.) And that's annoying.

there are heaps of pretty reliable GB roms, the battery life also seems to be better but probably due to less CPU usage.

Note 8.0 Music Player for AOSP

Can someone port Note 8.0 tablet TW Music Player to AOSP or AOKP Roms?
I'm running Stunner 2 beta 2.4.2 and I just can't find a good TW alternative to this rom. But I like S Note and recently tablet interfaced Music Player by Samsung especially with the "7.1 Channel Externalization".
Please respond asap.

Music Player and Gallery Apps

Hey guys
I have recently rooted and flashed Semaphore ICS (4.0.4) on to my i9000. (this was such a hard task )
Anyways I followed the instructions; installed Google Apps etc.
However, only now, compared to the GB Music Player, is really really ugly and crappy?
Is there anyway to update this app or get the old one back?
I don't really want to use any other music player but will if i have to. I'm using Rocket Player as a substitute atm, but not really liking it...
On the GB gallery i was able to preview GIFS, now on the new OS, I cannot. Any fixes?
Thanks
