Is there any way to do this? Mainly the video player, sms app, quick memo, and dialer. I switched to official cm but I really miss these apps. I went back to stock because I got myself into a bootloop when restoring some apps with titanium backup. Cm is great but some of the stock LG Apps are really nice, is there any way to install them on CM?

Not going to happen. The vendor-specific apps rely very heavily on the additional framework that they add to the base Android system. Adding all that back in would defeat the whole point of running CM, and would also open devs up to legal action as those apps are proprietary and protected by copyright law.

stock rom is the way for you. serious.
Its personal preference to select what works best for individuals.

That's the question. I only know enough to copy the app from /system/apps and look for any associated files next to it in the list such as .odex. That didn't work for Swype and Polaris Office (pre-installed) or Tapatalk HD (downloaded with Samsung Apps). The last two are more important to me as I don't want to pay for them again. I can live with Android keyboard.
BTW, Swype installer will put Swype on the tablet, but I get constant dialogs telling me to contact Swype because it's not right for my screen resulotion.
If I can get them to work, I'd gladly spend some time testing the ICS ROMs out there.
Tks in advance.

did you try Titanium backup? Works for me.
Tks. I didn't think of that I'll give it a whirl.
i tried porting over the Tapatalk HD app that comes with samsungapps but was greeted with lots of FCs. i then tried the samsungapps so as to install Tapatalk natively on ics but it didn't even start.
honeycomb and ics are two different OS and i dont think its advised porting over apps. so far it never really worked out for me.
but go ahead and try it and let us know if it worked

I'd really be interested to know what apps you were able to migrate. I nandroided back to stock TW (is that a verb?) and installed Titanium Backup. What a headache! Then I backed up Swype, Tapatalk, Solaris Office and one user installed app (Logos). Back into Galaxian Soup ICS, only Logos worked. Swype crashed every 10 seconds until I uninstalled it. Solaris made it through the install wizard and crashed. Tapatalk showed promise after deleting all user data and cache and would actually show forums and threads, but crashed consistently whenever I tried loging in.

Yeah, I think that's the point, though I expected Tapatalk to work better, being a user-installed app.

not a solution for your other problems but there is a swype beta that runs fine on ICS!
beta.swype.com
just register and get it! it has more features and works better than swype that comes with the tab!
Check out my earlier post. I tried that and got constant dialogues telling me that my version of Swype was not right for my screen resolution and to contact Swype to fix it even though it was a fresh download/install. I noticed that the OEM install has addition graphics beside the keyboard, apparently to solve that problem.

One more thing. Why XDA App, based on Tapatalk, works fine in ICS but Tapatalk itself doesn't I have no idea.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 8.9 using XDA App
I was wondering if it would be possible to simply replace Samsung's custom TW apps by the vanilla ones ?
I love the Tab's hardware and the video player (codecs) but I simply hate the other apps Sammy modified (mainly contact, browser and email apps). It would be perfect if I could simply replace those apps by the stock ones.
I understand that's not going to be possible until we have deodexed ROMS, but would'nt it be possible to modify the vanilla's APKs so they would install as third party apps which we can then choose as default app ?
Sorry, I'm no developer and my question might sound a little naive, considering HC source won't be released.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using Tapatalk
i use stock camera app (honeycomb version) in my tw rom and it works perfectly.
Thanks for the feedback, but like I said it's mainly contact and email apps I wish to change. ;-)
Actually, the perfect combination for me would be Vanilla Android with just Samsung's video player or codecs.

I'm sure Carbon is a good rom but can anyone give an idea of what it can do that the device cannot do on the stock rom with custom launcher and third party apps? Since the Sprint S4 version does not have it's own changelog (at least I didn't see one) not sure what features are working and what doesn't. Also, don't you lose all the air gestures, eye tracking, etc when going to AOSP rom?
I tried nightly 3 and I kept getting setup wizard fc. do I have to flash an aosp kernel or does it come with one.

Yes your going to loose the entire set of unique TW features that come with the S4 - air gestures, smart scroll, etc. A lot of people don't care for those features, me personally, I like to show them off but I don't ever really use them.
A lot of people absolutely despise the TW interface. And yes some of it can be changed with third party apps and mods but not all of it. Some people want the clean AOSP experience, you can easily theme your entire interface (dialer, messaging, unique colors, blah) with themes from the play store without the need for downloading a bunch of third party apps for each individual thing you want to change. Also native DPI changer is included in a lot of AOSP roms. It's really just personal preference. None of the Samsung bloat, Sprint bloat, awful TW colors, just check out roms like AOKP, AOSPA, CM, etc, on other devices.
I recommend checking out Slimbean for our device to get the general gist of what AOSP roms provide you with.

I really liked Slimbean but ended up going back to TW, AOSP is getting there, but I ran into too many bugs that I didn't have to deal with when I was using TW. I miss just being able to switch roms as I please, but my job kind of requires me having a phone that works, all the time, and quickly. Hopefully in the next week or so those issues are fixed because they seem to be on the nightly (or in the process of being fixed on the nightly) (all my problems were with signal and calling. Ex: distorted voice, bars were all over the place and I randomly lost signal in places where I had full bars of 4G with TW)
Just a word of caution if you decide to hop ship from touchwiz.
Besides that, AOSP>Touchwiz because I sure as hell only use the features to show off, i'd much rather have a stock unified UI than having to download apps to achieve that. It's also alot quicker since you don't have the framework of TW and the features weighing it down :good:

I'm familiar with AOSP roms (ran them on many other phones) but was specifically asking about Carbon. Not bagging on AOSP roms just seems like a larger sacrifice with all the newer features of the S4. Granted I do think a lot are gimmicky and don't work that well but do use Smartstay & IR functions.
Just curiosity more than anything.

you wouldn't lose IR function. smart remote is compatible with sgsiv and aosp.
Now that I have root, and can at least flash zips through OpenRecoveryScript, I have been thinking about what I want out this rom, but got me thinking about an idea. While we have kitchens in the past, I do not think anyone has ever done a web-based kitchen. i.e. select the options you want on a web-page and it compiles the zip in the background and then lets you download.
This has been done for years in the programming industry for frameworks (jquery, etc)..
Anyways... Here are some ideas of my dream rom
Options
carousel mode
Screen on with text
Remove HTC apps (Blink Feed, Kid Mode, etc)
Remove stock apps (Mail, browser, etc)
Remove all languages except one you use
Move Google apps outside of /system/ that way they can be added and deleted as needed.
Remove live wall papers
Add common community apps such as Wi-F Tether, etc
Basically build a base rom with the stand rom featuers, zip-aligned, de-odexed, tweaks, etc...
I know alot of this is an option with AROMA installer, but by doing it this way, it makes the download that much smaller.....
Thoughts??
I vote we go for kernel source and get CM, omni, carbon, cfxperiment ect going Personal opinion
I'll add to the list
Alternative (or combine) LTE/Spark icons
Alternative battery icon with %
Remove NFC icon
Xposed Installer
Exchange Security Bypass

Well, for stock, I'd love everything removed that you could get from the play store, and a folder separate with removed apps if you wanted them.
Aroma is cool and all, but takes longer than this method.
Configurable buttons and long press options.
Oh, and an amazing kernel!
I made a stripped down rom for the gs3 called BareBones and I'll probably make a similar rom for this phone as well.
Beanstalk, my dd from the jewel. But it is CM based so we need that first.

auto hide soft keys - like when you launch the camera app.

For what its worth Myn now has a HTC one M8 and may start developing again. For those that remember Warm rom will know his work quality. He is on VZW now but I will try to help as much as I can with mine. Him coming back to HTC is what motivated me to loose the Nexus 5 and return to HTC.
I would like to see the app drawer smooth scroll instead of by pages....I hate haveing to stretch for a icon at the top of screen when I could have had it in middle or more accessible

Is it possible that dialer, contacts and sms stock apps take so much seconds to open ? We also have a bug into stock launcher about apps that disappear from folder if them are installed on the second storage and keyboard is very slow..
Well this is the point: is someone (with the knowledge) interested on trying to improve those apps? I know that there are alternative apps but the intent is improving the stock ones, if it is possible. All working methods are appreciated!
