Only apps in data and some system apps but/most Samsung stuff won't work.

The one I am after is the voice widget, anybody know if this is possible?.

[Q] Rom Manager/Gapps

I am excited about Rom Manager support for the Atrix.
Has anybody flashed GAPPS for Gingerbread using Rom Manager yet?
I am mostly afraid that if I flash them, the MotoBlur replacement apps for them will break stuff pretty bad.
I am running CherryBlur currently.
I'm thinking about giving it a try later on today, but before I journey into the abyss, I figured I'd ask.
I'd really like to have google talk video, the stock dialer, the stock contacts app, etc.
Anybody?
I think gapps are only for asop, I may be wrong though

I was wondering the same thing. If its incompatible shouldn't it NOT be available to download? I mean there is nothing else listed there other than ninja rom and QuickROM but im sure if you were on another device more would be showing. It looks like its device specific.

I don't know, but you can install it from the playstore if you need.

[Q] [q] getting samsung stuff on cm10

Hey guys, Im a big android fan, I have a rooted galaxy s3, and I love the ROM CM10 as it gives me a stock android experience, however, i came back to the official firmware because there are some things that I just didnt like on CM10, the 3 principal are:
1) The contacts app
2) The messasing app
3) No SmartStay
SO I went back to the official firmware, but I backed up the CM10 gallery and camera (which are the JB ones) using Titanium Backup, and I was able to install them in the samsung firmware.
BUT MY PERFORMANCE WAS SO MUCH BETTER ON CM10, so my question is:
CAN I BACK UP THE SAMSUNG FIRMWARE APPS LIKE CONTACTS, MESSASING, SMARTSTAY, ETC, USING TITANIUM BACKUP, AND INSTALL THEM ON CM10? so I can have the native android experience, but with the apps from samsung that I like?, Im asking because I dont want to do all the installing of cm10 and wiping again, if im not going to be able to get these apps on it, I'd really appreciate your help guys. thanks in advance
no mate. those apps are Sammy framework based

Damn it, the only thing I don't like about cm10 is the messaging and the contacts, and if I could just replace them I would be happy :s

Using Samsung apps on AOSP ROMs

I was thinking about checking out an AOSP ROM and was wondering if it's possible to run some of the Samsung apps on it. I'm mostly interested in keeping WatchON, S Voice, MultiWindow, All Share, Touchwiz Camera.
Also if it is possible then what is usually the best way? Flash a zip, install an apk, or use titanium?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

WatchON works on AOKP. Might work on CM if they put in IR blaster support. TW camera is a no go. The others I have not tried

Thanks Keith. I'll give it a try when I get back.
No problem.....I also have a 'dark' version of the stock sms apk (got it somewhere here on xda) if you want to try it instead.......

I don't know how to explain it, but I want the MMS apk like the one shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/deviceForum/screenshots/1055/20130327T094824.jpg
Is the one you gave me the same one, but appears different on my phone because I'm running CM?
Ah....I don't think the stock mms apk will work on CM as the apk needs the touchwiz framework in order to function.....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
not sure what touchwiz is, but I'm guessing there is no workaround or way to get the stock mms apk to install on CM roms?
Thanks for your help Keith. Appreciate it!
Touchwiz is the Samsung launcher. It is what gives Samsung phones their look and feel....the user framework of the device. Porting parts of that framework to non Samsung ROMs simply will not work.......
As an alternative, you could look for apps in the themes and apps section for an app which has been made to look like 'stock' but which functions on a non stock ROM......
Or....
You could go for a whole new ROM..... one of the 'hybrid' ones.....a stock based ROM but without the bloat and with aosp/aokp functionality. I've used two and am still using one of them....chamelion and aliance.....I'm not going to recommend either as that's against XDA rules, but both of them will let you download themes and tweaks that let you customize the look of the base ROM so that it can resemble (or not) the full stock package........
