Hi!
Would like to ask how to get the Google Calendar Widget. Which apk should I take? I'm using the Galactus ROM and would like to back up the widget which when you open/tap the Google Calendar Widget it opens the SPlanner. I like the SPlanner than the Google Calender. Anyone knows which file is it?
Many Thanks!
You can check out the pertaining file in the option of backup system apps+data in titanium backup. You can install the rom which has that widget and back it up and then flash the new rom and restore

Hi All,
I'm on the AT&T Captivate and have an issue with some of the ROMs that are out here. I am currently running the Cognition B9.1.2 ROM and LOVE it! My issue is that I am in Canada on the Rogers network and have found that certain messaging apps record incorrectly the received time of incoming SMS messages. There are tools in the Market to sort of fix this but I have found that some ROMs (Thinking of the "Tayutama's JPM Froyo w/Xcaliburinhand's Re-oriented Kernel - 10/28/2010" as an example where this error does not occur. I was looking at modifying the messaging app between those ROMs but was unsure how to do that.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The text message time issue is not due to the Cognition ROM, it's because of how Rogers/FIDO do a timestamp adjustment in addition to your phone doing a timestamp adjustment.
You can either have your timezone changed, or download SMS time fix from the market.
Had the same problem myself!
Cheers,

Straight from the Cognition thread, search can be you friend.
Below are the steps I used to restore the AOSP Email app. designgears had added the AOSP Email client to earlier ROMS but reverted to the TW Email app because of too many complaints. I found that the AOSP Email app is much more reliable than the TW. You should be able to perform similar steps to install a different messaging apk. Let me know if this helps at all. I altered the instructions to the mms.apk instead of the Email.apk that I replaced.
1.) Find the messaging .apk file from the rom of your choice. Usually in /system/app/ folder.
2.) Connect your phone to the computer and move the mms.apk file you retrieved from the other rom to the root of your sdcard.
3.) Backup your current mms.apk with Titanium or manually copy it to another location on your phone.
NOTE: You may need to backup your phone settings so you can restore your launcher after clearing cache in the final step to avoid having to replace all of your home screen icons.
4.) Using Root Explorer or Astro, copy the mms.apk copied to your sdcard into the folder /system/app/ to replace the current app.
5.) Return to the home screen. At this point you should no longer see a messaging icon on your dock.
6.) Go to Applications->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications
7.) Clear the cache on the TWLauncher Application.
8.) Return to the home screen and you should now see the email icon has returned to the dock.
9.) Restore TWLauncher settings with Titanium to restore home screen icons that were removed in the cache.

Would this also work if I wanted to replace the stock sms/mms messaging app on the latest cognition rom and replace it with something like Handcent, Chomp or Shady?
Hi,
I really like the calendar application from LG. I want to install on my HTC Desire, however as this is system application i cannot install.
Can anyone provide instructions to install them.
Also i would like to replace the email application (not Gmail) provided by LG to stock application from Gingerbread ROM.
thanks.

dunno about the calender thing, but the other i do
you have to root the phone, delete the LG Email app and then install the normal Email from either market or from a download.
I have a rooted LG Revolution with stock Android 2.2.2. Long story short, I uninstalled the calendar.apk using Titanium Backup. I cannot locate the apk to try to push it and reinstall as system app. Where can I find the apk? If I get it and move it to the /system/app will that restore the app?
Hi, I backed up E-mail 1.0 and Email 2.0 (the default email client and the lg Widget) with Titanium backup, then uninstalled them, because I was trying to find the cause of some battery loss problem...
The problem is that Titanium Backup doesn't restore the E-mail Client or the LG widget once deleted... it just stays on restoring screen...
Could someone provide the files to copy to /system/app to restore those two services? Or maybe there is another way?
As a last resort I could restore to factory settings but that means a full system reinstall and I wouldn't go that far!

Thank you for the package, I tried to copy the .apk and .obex files to system/data/ set full permissions, but still no go... I use v10E???!?!
I reinstalled the whole phone... Thank you nonetheless!
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
