[Q] Stock google calendar possible?

After using psouza4 safe bloat removal script my Google Calendar is no longer available. I did notice the script warned me the calendar widgit would no longer work, but not the entire calender... now my question.. is it possible to get the stock Google Calendar to work from the Cyanogenmod Gapps.zip?? I am familar with ADB, but I'm no way good enough to figure out how or what to push to make it work..

All you need to do is go back and rename the original files. The script did not remove them, it just renamed them so they would not load.
So, use something like "root explorer". Navigate to "system/app" folder. Scroll down and find the calander files and rename them. All you have to do is remove the ".bak" from them. There are a couple files with calander in the name. (I am not sure exactly with one to rename. I renamed all of the calander files and it works fine).
Re-boot, and it will be back working.
Enjoy

I have done that and the Blur calendar works fine, but I would like to use the plane stock calendar.

[TOOL]Semi-auto bloatware remover for Xperia pro et al v0.1

I made a simple script for my own use that does pretty much the same job as Knight47's auto bloatware remover.
The main difference is that mine reads the list of removed apps from a separate text-file that can be adjusted to taste.
Root required!
How to use:
1. Backup your phone with nandroid!
2. Unzip zip-file to some folder
3. Connect USB cable to phone and make sure USB debugging is turned on
4. Run debloat.cmd
5. Reboot
6. Enjoy fat-free phone
It MIGHT be necessary to clean Dalvik-cache afterwards if the phone does not rebuild dalvik cache automagically ("updating android"-message during reboot)
I wrote this for Xperia Pro Mk16i ICS, which had some differences from the main APP-list:
SEMCFacebookProxy.apk --- appears to be more facebook stuff
livewaremanager.apk -- all in lower-case now
letsgolf_i.apk -- filename has changed
Also some files listed in the app collection did not exist here. ALL files from main Xperia arc app list are included anyways.
I'm removing:
Browser.apk
facebook.apk
Gmail.apk
GMS_Maps.apk
Maps.apk
Street.apk
YouTube.apk
These apps take double space after you install updates for them so it makes sense to remove them from system. If you already have updated them, there's no need to do anything, otherwise download them from play store.
With regards to stock browser, if you don't have chrome or similar, just comment it out.
..
Changes in v0.2:
Fixed script syntax
Delete .apk and .odex files
Added some files to kill-list:
weatherwidget
com.google.android.youtube-1
SemcCamera3D
SemcSnpVideoPlayer
Semcsdnla
Wait for keypress after finished + reboot into recovery to clean dalvik.
v0.21
Do not delete google maps and youtube app by default, change advisor text

Are those files in /system/app ? You have ADB drivers installed?
What exactly happens when "nothing happens"? Can you start the script from cmd and tell me what it says?

yes those are apps from /system/app
here is a screenshot of cmd(cmd window is auto closed 1-2 seconds after i run debload.cmd)
on phone is displayed "shell has been granted superuser permission"
can i edit bload.txt in notepad or another text editor?

That's the whole idea, you can edit it. Did you? It looks like the bloat.txt is not in the right place or perhaps has empty lines or something..
command prompt stays open if you run cmd.exe from start menu. Or ctrl-right click on a folder and "open command window here"

yes i did
i notice the difference.. your adb.exe is about 2mb, my adb.exe is 150kb?! maybe that is problem, some drivers.. who knows. (when i try with my adb.exe, it just say "waiting for device").. i manually remove bloatware

I upgraded into omega rom recently that retains some of the cruft in stock rom. So I updated my debloater. Script has been revised to actually work , I must have attached a wrong version by mistake. It now also wipes out .odex files if present. Because of this, deleted filenames are without extension (.apk) in bloat.txt.
To make this really elegant, files should be actually un-installed as now there may be some libraries and data left behind. I'm not going to trace down package name for each and every sony bloatware today, though.
Finally, dalvik cache needs to be wiped to remove the orphaned odex cache files which take most of the space.
It is actually possible to reclaim a lot of space by using titanium backup to integrate some large apps into ROM. Preferably those which do not allow you to move them into sdcard and/or work badly if linked with link2sd. In my phone I have 130MB of free space in the system partition so Chrome alone gives a big chunk of free space for other apps.

After thinking this through, there is NO benefit into removing system apps if you're going to reinstall them from play store anyways. It's better to use titanium backup to integrate any updates into ROM which actually gives more room for apps. I removed google maps and youtube from being deleted by default. Some people may want to edit bloat.txt for facebook and gmail app as well.

Bash script port for linux users
This might not be useful for many people, but I use Linux and I converted this script to work with bash.
Download and run the script as su or sudo.

[Q] stock google apps

hi there,
is it possible to replace some system apps on a samsung s3 lte rom with google stock apps?
apps which i would replace:
- email
- gmail
- calendar
- contacts
- sms/mms
- phone
i can remember some times ago, there was a theard for a normal s3 without lte to replace that apps, but i cant find it again. in the past it was not possible to replace contacts and phone app, maybe now it is, but i would be very happy to replace the e-mail, calendar and sms/mms app again. so if this is possible, could someone from you guys provide the neccessary apk files?
i found this theard - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964726&highlight=aroma - but im missing email, sms/mms, contacts and phone apk files.

hi there,
for all who maybe have the same needs like me, here is a theard(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728308) where you can chose a lot of stock google apps with a guide how to do that..
for me, i try it with messaging and e-mail app:
1. download the apps from the theard
2. rename the apps in secmms.apk, secemail.apd and secexchange.apk and copy it to your phone
3. go to you app manager and look for your email and exchange service app, delete the cache, delete the data and stop the apps
4. save the original apps .apk and .odex files in system/app and delete it after
5. copy the downloaded and renamed apps in system/app
6. be sure that the permissions are right
7. reboot and its done

[TRIM] Xperia T Hybrid rom by peetr_

I trimmed down a bit the very good rom in object I am using by @peetr_ (thanks for your work!).
if someone may be interested (maybe those like me who like to optimize/clean things) continue reading..
I removed something like 50 apk's from /system/app (they were about 145 immediately after installation) and that without any side/bad effects, at least here and at least for my needs.. of course your needs will be different so you should think twice before removing anything (btw I added some explanations for each app so you should be able to understand if it is safe for you too to remove them)
(they can be removed from the rom zip before flashing, or also after the installation with any root explorer)
PS. that has not a big impact in terms of improvements etc, but I like clean things, less apps always appearing in running processes, more free space in /system etc.. that's it
I take advantage of this thread to advertise peetr_'s rom, which is very nice! A very good mix of sony stock and CM features!
PPS. I confirm Play Store works perfectly (installation/update/reviews of apps) even removing all the packages below!
ApplicationsProvider.apk (somewhere I read that it "Provides the list of installed apps to Market", but market is working fine here even without that, and I can also correctly see the list of my installed apps, safe to remove here)
bootinfo.apk (dunno exactly, but safe to remove here)
CMFileManager.apk (I don't use it, I use ES File manager instead)
CMFileManagerThemes.apk (themes for CM File Manager above)
CosmicFlow.apk (dunno exactly, wallpaper or theme? safe to remove here btw)
DrmDialogs.apk (for DRM protected files, I don't have any of those files)
DrmProvider.apk (see above)
Email.apk (I only use gmail)
Exchange2.apk(I only use gmail)
Galaxy4.apk (wallpaper)
GoogleBackupTransport.apk (for google backup service that I never used)
GoogleFeedback.apk (it is probably for reporting google when an app FC, store feedbacks still work even without this, safe to remove here)
GooglePartnerSetup.apk (allows applications to run in conjunction with google products, safe to remove here, and it seems I stll have conjunction..)
HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk (wallpaper)
HTMLViewer.apk (HTML viewer, I use other editors/viewers)
InfiniteView.apk (dunno exactly, wallpaper or theme? safe to remove here btw)
Initial-boot-setup.apk (setup wizard probably, safe to remove here)
KeyChain.apk (password storage app used by ICS it seems, so probably not needed and btw safe to remove here)
InputDevices.apk (dunno exactly, but removing it is safe here)
LiveWallpapers.apk (for live wallpapers, I don't use them)
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk (see above)
LocationBasedWifi.apk (for wi-fi being enabled automatically in some areas, I don't use it I prefer manual things)
MediaUploader.apk (only for picasa uploading/sharing option in some apps, I don't use picasa)
MusicWidget.apk (walkman widget, I don't use it. Walkman still works perfectly without this)
nfc-handover.apk (for NFC, I don't use it)
Nfc.apk (see above)
NoiseField.apk (wallpaper)
OMAClientProvisioning.apk (for OTA updates it seems, I don't use them)
OmaDownload.apk (see above)
OmaV1AgentDownloadServices.apk (see above)
PartnerBookmarksProvider.apk (dunno exactly, but safe to remove here and for CM browser bookmarks sync with Chrome desktop I use "ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk" installed in /system/app)
PhaseBeam.apk (wallpaper)
PhotoSlideshow.apk (wallpaper or similar)
PicoTts.apk (I use Google speach instead, maps+audio directions still work, safe to remove here)
PowerSaver.apk (power management tool/extended battery settings, I don't use it, I prefer manual things)
SecureClockJava.apk (dunno exactly, a old style clock maybe, safe to remove)
SemcNotes.apk (Notes app, I don't need it, I use Tasks Free instead that can syncs with Google Tasks)
SEMCSetupWizard.apk (setup wizard probably, safe to remove)
SimlockUnlockApp.apk (dunno exactly, I don't have any locks here? btw safe to remove here)
SmallApp-Calculator.apk (see below)
SmallApp-Notes.apk (see below)
SmallApp-Recorder.apk (see below)
SmallApp-Timer.apk (see below)
SmallAppManagerService.apk (bottom small apps panel in recent apps panel, I don't like it, I prefer recent apps only without the bottom bar for small apps)
SmartcardService.apk (dunno exactly, I don't have smartcards.. btw safe to remove here)
SmartSearch.apk (dunno exactly, maybe for contacts search in stock dialer, but we have CM dialer. safe to remove here)
SomcPlayAnywhere.apk (Throw support, I don't use it)
Stk.apk (sim toolkit app, I don't use it)
SuperStamina.apk (power management tool/extended battery settings, I don't use it, I prefer manual things)
Tag.apk (for NFC and similar, I don't use it)
UnsupportedHeadsetNotifier.apk (I don't use headsets, safe to remove)
VideoEditorGoogle.apk (I never understood how to use this app, so I remove it)
VisualizationWallpapers.apk (wallpaper)
VoiceDialer.apk (I don't use it)
VoiceSearchStub.apk (dunno exactly, some search system? I use Google Search.. btw safe to remove here)
VpnDialogs.apk (I don't use VPNs, so safe to remove here)
WhiteBalance.apk (relevant app in settings, I never used it)
[TIPS&TRICKS:]
1. if you want CM browser included in the rom to correctly sync with your desktop chrome bookmarks, put THIS in /system/app, set correct permissions and reboot
2. if you want back original sony lockscreen, put UxpNxtLockScreen.apk (extracted from THIS, see Hybrid rom thread > Add-ons) in /system/app, set correct permissions and reboot

Thanks man good job

Missing GoogleCalendarSynAdapter.apk on maclaw GApps

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk is missing on every GApps package from maclaw´s server.
You can grab it HERE.
Put it on to /system/app with a root explorer, set permission to rw-r-r and reboot.
I don´t know why this important apk has been deleted - it make zero sense.
Without it synchronisation with google calendar or another calendar which sync with google calendar don´t work....

Its solely important for users who have calendar sync enabled, for those (most) that dont its merely a reason to have installed (no calendar functionality lost beyond sync).
