First of all sorry for my bad english I'm French,
So i tried to put, for instance stock touchwiz sms app into optix rom (gret rom !!!).
i have placed it in System/app then i flashed it and the app didn't appear in app drawer.
I'm wondering if it's possible because some touchwiz apps are greats !
thank you fore reading.

Unfortunately, this does not seem possible because touchwiz and its associated components all use different libraries, different frameworks, and various other complex components of the Android operating system that Samsung customizes. In most cases, its not possible to take a system apk from one ROM and just drop it into another ROM, and expect it to work. It may force close, or exhibit some other strange behavior. Sometimes, you can get a developer to change and modify libraries or frameworks to get the app to work, but it is a tremendous amount of work to convert these kinds of things. All this being said, if you want an app from a different ROM to work, it doesn't hurt to try to push apps to /system, as I've had some luck pushing apk's to system, fixing permissions and getting them to work fine. Hopefully, you can find an app equivalent to the Touchwiz SMS app that works just as well, if not better!
Thanks for answering so fast
Wich SMS app do you think would ne good

I just use the stock Cyanogenmod SMS app included in Tonyp's CM10.2 Build, but I've heard good things about Handcent available from the Play Store, and I believe the GO Team has their own application for SMS too, but if you want to see a variety of options, I suggest googling for a list of messaging apps and seeing which one you like best.

Hello,
I'm currently running Darkyy's v7.5 on my SGS. I don't really like sms/mms app that's included, because of the white colors.
I know that darkyy has planned to go back to original sms app in v7.6.
But besides the colors the sms app seems very cool to me, not showing these bubbles in conversation and some other things
I'm not very well versed in modifying apps with apktool and eclipse, but I wonder if it's possible to just customize the colors of the app?
Think I already found the right color-tags but after baksmaling, changing them, smaling and signing, I get FCs everytime I try to run the app. Also I can only replace the original with root explorer, cause I don't know how to rename the package, cause ecplise just gives me a lot of errors.
Andybody suggestions or solutions?

Search and read the thread on how to morph DOC's ROM to your like-abilities.
Yea docs has a black/grey modded sms app in it...not the samsung version but the AOSP one
Sent from my Captivate
you might want to take a look at the mms.apk of the cyanogen rom , it's same as stock , but there is a black theme included , you can also change the font size.
or you can go with go sms for example , which is very nice
Old SMS app on my Darky's 7.5.
1) Insall "Root manager" app
2) Go to root/system/app
3) Tap on "Mount R/W" in top of the window ##for premitions
4) Delete the Mms.apk
5) Copy attached Mms.apk root/system/app
If you ever will wont to go back to (IMHO) very nice sms app.
Thanks for your suggestions!
I managed to get back to the samsung sms app.
The apps from Doc's rom I found had the same white colors, I could find a dark one. Doc's rom 6.2 only includes the stock app.
But for now, I'm pleased to have the samsung sms app back again.
Anyway, if someone has a link to a dark aosp sms app, feel free to post
I have searched everywhere but can't find anything,
I would love to use the stock calendar app on doc's rom or any other rom for that matter. But i'm not able to find anything that works.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
I've read that if you use the aosp mail app, the camera fc's.
But nothing about the calendar app.
I would love to know a bit more, I can't imagine it's that difficult.
There is a thread for stock eclair apps and I remember using them once, they seemed to work I recall.
If anyone knows a way I would love to know, I'm getting pretty frustrated with samsungs aproach to the calendar

Any idea how to install aosp calendar?
It's in the market.
You'll have to uninstall the Samsung one first, then reboot.
Sent from my Captivate.
No. The AOSP calendar is NOT in the Market.
I have the same question: how to get a working AOSP calendar in Froyo???
But in this strange sgs community, everybody seems to love so much the TouchWizz Calendar!
Bllblb. It's ugly, not practical, and you cannot read the events titles directly from the week view.
I succeeded installing the Calendar from a CM6.1 Nexus1 Rom. But not the Calendar sync. So it works, but you cannot choose wich calendar to hide.
So. I'm not responsible for nothing, but you can try what I have done.
Download the rom here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/187-update-cm-611-n1-signedzip/
Extract from system/app/calendar.apk
-> Or instead of 1. et 2. you can just download from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18608283/Calendar.apk
On your sgs, use Root Explorer (or ADB if you know how). Delete (make backup first) TWcalendar.apk in system/app/ in your device.
Push the calendar.apk from the rom into system/app/ in your device.
Install it.
Reboot.
You're done. As I have said, the app works, but it Force Closes whenever you try to get in menu/more/calendars.
If somebody have an idea to get he whole thing working... It'd be great!

I don't think this is true either, where did you get this info from may I ask?
Thanks Judim but I have also tried that, had the same problem.
I'm using "Touch Calendar Free" at the moment, it's not as good as google's but still beats the living sh** out of samsungs...
Ah well if this thread bumps we'll just have to wait for CM7 to arrive or buy a Nexus S.
The first way is a bit cheaper though
Try also Business Calendar Beta from the Market. It could be a replacement waiting for a CM7.
I see you're also coming from the Hero... Small device but great CM roms
Cheers!
Here is an AOSP calendar app that I'm using on my Vibrant. It does have the fc issue when selecting more calendars, but does not have the dark bar at the top blocking week one of the month. It does have a skewed transparency up there, but its a mere annoyance and won't affect anything. Push to system/app. Oh the icon is ginger-green to match my rom, but thats all that I changed with the apk.
Im just starting this thread because its pretty obvious there are apps that are better then the stock one. Prob most people have two messaging applications on there phone, stock and maybe handcent or gosms. Well im making this thread so people can ask questions and to find out if somehow there is a way to delete the stock app and replace it with the preferred one. Im also sorry if there is a thread for this and if so I will delete this one.
BTW I prefer quickpic heavily over the stock gallery and i was wondering if somehow i could replace the stock gallery with quickpic.
Give your opinions and everything. Is it safe? W.e you wanna say.

This is something that I have wondered too. Can you delete the stock apps and make your favorites the default? I know that anyone can set preferences for which apps open (Miren browser instead of stock android), but would there be any advantages to deleting the stock app completely and replacing it with your alternative? Is it even possible, since some 3rd party apps require the stock apps to be there (messaging apps)? I know that relying on one 3rd party app and not having the stock app (ie music.apk) available could be problematic.
Use a file manager with root capabilities and delete whatever you'd like. Gallery and mms apk can be deleted safely. Obviously, if the 3rd party app requires the system app to function then you should not delete them. What problems are you having with the music app? I use poweramp and deleted the stock music app with no problem.
Got a bit of an odd one for you guys. My girlfriends phone has exactly the same set up as me (phone rom kernel) but I have no issues at all. No matter what I do I cant open links from within her messages app (phone numbers / web addresses ect ) If I use a third party app like handscent it works fine but tbh I would much prefer the stock app. I have tried fresh installs, updates clearing data ect but no luck. Just about to try a completely different rom with a modded messaging app to see if it works. Any ideas?
Ended up just using a 3rd party sms application as it seems I am the only one with this issue. No issues after go sms install

publish what each APP manage on the phone?
Yesterday I turn on Navigon and it works but I did'n get Sat signal. Its started to work when I unfroze "Maps" .
I thought that App's manage the hardware independently, without need to interact with others.
How should I know with what I'm messing with, when I uninstall or I freeze some App ?...
Thanks in advance, and once more sorry for the bad english
AFAIK installed apps on android usually independent each other, except some apps which came default in ROM Or apps which designed as plug in or add ons.
You should remove them without any problem.

Soo... if we're not prisoners of the ROM's we are of the "exclusive" apps that works like a plugin or as a driver???
