Improving stock 4.1.2 apps [DEVS] - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is directed to all who know something about java and in this particular case smali.
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!

Sense browser

I used to use a sense rom and I remember in the browser you could long press on text and you could drag to select and from there use translate and other features... Now using launcher pro on shadowrom 2.1 and would love that feature... Any ideas?

No ideas, because there aren't any. Sense browser requires Sense framework, which requires Sense ROM.

I've asked this before because I want it too. Apparently this IS impossible, and there is no way to port it without having sense entirely. I wish there was.
So your saying its impossible to have that feature because sense has already done that? Theirs no dev that could make that feature possible without sense? Well then sense is starting to have features over stock android.. how disappointing

And I know the deal with sense not being pick and choose.. But I guess what I meant is their anyone who could write an add on to the browser or even an add on to dolphin or something.. Seems like a pretty decent feature to have

The thing is, the text selection method isn't just in the browser, it's across the entire phone in the sense ports. So it's an integral part of the OS.
I don't even mind the select text in stock android.. I just wish their were other plugins for android browser so we could have translate integrated into the browser. I guess just a wish for gingerbread or the next release. Copy and paste and leaving the browser into translate isn't the worst but it is annoying

I have no clue what qwerty remocon is, but the Nexus S should have the same DLNA compatibility as any other SGS phone so its just a matter of finding an app or modifying AllShare to work on the SNS

That is most likely true and it sounds like you need a TouchWiz phone :/
I like this phone much better than my former vibrant. I only asked because those galaxy variants have some great features. None would be worth going back to touchwiz proper and rfs and lag fixes, etc. Still, getting some hacked touchwiz framework to allow the installation of those great codecs and some of the apps another poster listed would be the best of both worlds, especially since this phone has MOST of the same hardware.

Chrome is horrible compared to the aosp browser

Chrome is way slower and the drawing lags badly on scrolling compared to the aosp browser. There's one to. On here that uses the aosp browser. Its so much smoother and faster. Unfortunately autorotation does not work on that ROM. Why did Google make chrome the default?

Try a rom with the stock browser. It benchmarks higher and it never has to load more of the page when scrolling.
Its the same way on the galaxy nexus. They just let you choose in that case which to use.

Don't have experience yet with my nexus 7 but chrome is horrible on the galaxy nexus. It is awful at text reflow on this phone. Hopefully it will be better on the tablet.

Unfortunately its the same garbage on this tablet. It was really stupid of Google to make chrome the default and not include the aosp browser. I tried the aosp browser and its butter smooth with zero lag. Chrome on the other hand is a complete lagfest.

On my phone I use opera mobile. Better than stock in my opinion. I just like the chrome sync.

Whenever they let us download the old browser from Play somebody let me know. I don't mind Chrome as a backup but I don't like it as my primary either

Google said we could download it from Play already they just havent put it up somebody else can look up a source for you cause I dont feel like it right now
Yes...Chrome definitely blows for Android. Sad really. Chrome to phone and all the syncing options are really nice, but the browser itself is just awful. Hoping Google really gives this some love soon b/c as others have said, the stock regular browser that has been on Android forever is so much nicer.
Just by watching videos, I can already tell that I hate the Chrome browser. It can have a horrendous amount of lag, and it is extremely annoying having to watch reviews that show this sub-par browsing experience when I know for a fact that all of this dreadful performance could be alleviated by switching to the AOSP browser. Google quite obviously did this to promote their browser, but it does not do good for the Nexus 7 image.
Hmm have you guys fully updated your n7's? Chrome is blazing fast for me. Haven't had a single issue with it except for Swype entering spaces after every letter in the address bar sometimes.
on my GNex, ICS Browser+ (basically stock ICS browser with some additions) was smoother than Chrome.
it crashes now on JB though.

Negative, been trying this all day. I don't mind chrome. The syncing with the desktop, phone, and tablet is ****ing awesome. Everything else is just ehh. I don't care much for opera or dolphin so I have been searching for all day for a browser apk or browsergoogle apk that will work but to no avail

Yeah there's one rom with it but they forgot to include the blobs for the rotation sensor so it doesn't work. The aosp browser works great though.

That's because it needs the stock browser to work I think. At least that is how it works on my HTC One X. If I freeze the stock HTC browser, ICS + force closes.

Chrome is terribly choppy on the 7. Go to memebase.com and it has massive rendering issues. As long as the website isn't heavy loaded with pictures, chrome is fine.

[Q] How to get S Pen Apps on custom ROM?

Does anyone have a pack that has S Pen applications like S Note and S Memo on custom ROMs?

Papyrus is great and all, but the lines aren't as smooth as S Memo. I know this is a necro post, but someone may be interested. Papyrus IS a great and free app, but it leaves something to be desired in fluidity. Still better than TW, IMO.
I had the same issue. But I converted the notes files into text format and upload to Google Keep app, which is available in play store.
Copy all snotes files to PC and rename the extension to .zip or rar format. Then open the archive files to find thumbnail jpeg and type the contents in notepad and copy to Google keep

There is handwrite, papyrus and others...
I found to be the best "freenote" and color note
somehow have better accuracy
Is there a way to get my S Notes from my Samsung account somewhere? From the PC? I'm using an AOSP ROM, and I want to get my S Notes back. Is there a way, or would I have to flash a TouchWiz ROM to resynchronize them?
If u have not wiped internal memory then u can find snotes files there. Once found then follow the above said procedure

...there is , try Adobe PhotoShop Touch. I've heard a lot of hype about Papyrus...Give "Write" a try - has more of the awesome S Note options, like the ignore hand/palm thing, so you can write like most ppl normally do, w/o you're whole hand in the air.
Papyrus is good... some features like the true eraser and export to dropbox are premium features that don't cost that much.
I prefer write as it offers a lot of functionality.
