[Question] CyanogenMod 7 - is it possible to get samsung apps working? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to install some of the default apps from SGS2 stock on cyanogen?
I'd really like to have the video and photo editor to begin with. I tried them from Tricky's ROM kitchen rom, they're deodexed zipaligned etc but won't install.
Any advice?

Most likely none of them will work as they rely on Samsungs custom framework.

Move to q&a please

Reported. You should be banhammered for this rubbish.
You know what your doing you even titled the thread so people would look.

But aren't the editors google apps?
My bad if I'm wrong.

Very agree with the OP regarding needs for a samsung apps.
But I wish there was a thumbs down button for post like this

It should be titled "Question" and not "ROM".

What's worse is that the question has already been asked and answered in the Cyanogenmod thread...
Would be great if anyone with a low post count was immediately directed to the search function before they're able to create new threads.

How kind of you to be so perspicacious and leave a link behind too.

Is there any "Samsung Apps" package?
Here are some, but not all: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18101252&postcount=4
I also cannot make the Samsung Dive to work, but I'm using an Official 2.3.4 Unbranded ROM (Is not the one wich came with my phone).

There's also a touch wiz launcher for those who miss it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883

Samsung Apps with Cyanogenmod 7.1
Assuming my SGS I897 is similar enough to the SGS2, here is my experience: After flashing Cyanogenmod 7.1, I tried to restore apps from Samsung using Titanium Backup.
I was happy my son's Krazy Kart Racing still worked, because it was free in the Samsung Apps market but $3.38 in the Android market.
However, when I tried to restore Samsung Apps itself, Titanium Backup went into an infinite loop. An attempt to restore Program Monitor had the same result.
I guess my answer is: some apps will work and some will not.
Has anyone else tried?

Where/how can I get components of the stock ROM?

There are some applications from the stock ROM that I'd like to have on the custom ROM I'm running. Is it possible to extract them?
I'm specifically referring to the version of Think Free Office and Sims 3 that came with the T-Mobile ROM. I know that we are not allowed to discuss warez here, since I own a license and right to use these programs, having purchased the phone. I hope I'm not stepping on toes here, but I'd like to have those components in Nero, for example, which I am running, but both of these specifically useful apps are not included.

Funny how this is coming from the guy who is spamming the development section with themed roms (I don't want to be mean but it's true)
And also, he only posted that message one time. That is not called spamming. Just saying.

Good thing that some apps check if you are blocking ads and refuse to work so thieves like you cant use them.
Die in fire Rom spammer. :*
And for the record: keeping ads on IS DONATING TO DEV you s... sob.
Seriously, maybe he is a ROM spammer and has a bad image.
but AdFree Android is an application developed by someone else, and this tut is just to show how to do what that app does without it.
So "hampering the dev earnings growth" hate shouldnt be expressed here, but instead to the Adfree devs.
I personally use and adore Adfree, coz i cant afford to buy paid adfree versions and find ads very annoying..

Cant add Multi View compatible apps to multi view bar *SOLVED*

Hey guys, up until a month ago I have been an avid iOS user until I recently made the glorious switch tk Android. I have figured most everything out except how to add apps that are multiview compatible to the multiview bar. I've tried drag and drop and a few other things but none seem to work. I was really hoping someone could help me, thanks in advance!
Cheers,

Multiview functionality is not part of android operating system. That is a propietary technology from samsung, and the applications that can be use in that mode have to be made to do so.

With stock you can only do a small handful of apps (and not all that useful either). But if you use certain Roms (I've been using Jelly Beans for a few months) some come with all apps enabled. I think there is also another way to hack it but probably requires at least root.
Re: Cant add Multi View compatible apps to multi view bar
I rooted my phone the day I got it, since its rooted will it allow me to add more apps to it??

Re: Cant add Multi View compatible apps to multi view bar
Yes, there are mods to do so, or you could pretty much flash any TW ROM under the development section and have all apps available in multi window.

Re: Cant add Multi View compatible apps to multi view bar
Okay, thanks! What about already compatible apps such as Chrome and Google Maps?? How do I add those to the multiview bar?
Also, I apologize for the "newbie-ness" of my questions, im brand new to Android.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I don't think that Verizon lets you add any apps to the multiwindow view. If you want more apps in there, then you can flash a rom. If you like the look of your phone currently, then I suggest one of the CleanROMs, either the ACE, Verizon Special Edition. If you are stock and you don't want to flash a rom, then you can try this mod here.
Personally I would recommend that you flash a rom if you haven't already. There are so many great roms out there that unlock features that verizon didn't want us to have, or other things like the ability to make the phone look more like stock android.
Re: Cant add Multi View compatible apps to multi view bar
Hello, im a new android user (switched over from iOS last week) and I just had one question for you. Im fairly familar with Linux, so the first thing I did when I got my phone was obviously unlocking the bootloader and rooting it. Im running a stock ROM woth the Team Win Recovery and I was wondering how I would flash from my current ROM to the CleanROM VZW SE 1.5. As you can see below, I have the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II. I apologize for the "newbie-ness" of my question, thank you for your time!

I'd recommend picking a rom based on the first posts in the thread for each one (in the development section), and then read as much as possible in that thread. This is my first android phone too, but after reading the Jelly Beans thread (yes all of it, but I'm crazy like that) I feel I have a good grasp on everything. I'm no expert, but I'm not a newb either, and I've only tried Beans and Cleanrom thus far.
Now I just wanna get 10 (useful) posts so I can post on Beans' thread and thank him! :cyclops:

I was looking at the CleanROM VZW SE 1.5 but I am afraid of bricking my device. I was hoping someone had some useful tips to avoid this
What I'm trying to say is that there are TONS of such tips on this board, but they are already spelled out much better than I could explain, so you really have to put some time in and do the research. You should read the entire thread about that rom, and also read the thread on unlocking all the way through. Everything you need to know is there. It's very rare to completely brick one of these things.

[Q&A] - Vanilla RootBox - Unofficial

Hi,
This is an unofficial Q&A thread for GT-I9300 Vanilla Rootbox where we can try to help each other. Please leave all things that have nothing to do with development out of the official thread and post them here.
The development thread was closed by Bajee because he finds most of the posts useless. I contacted him and asked him if it would be a good idea to start a support thread for his rom. The answer was "go ahead".
So here it is.
Thanks for opening this thread!
Maybe you could ask Bajee if he would place a link to this thread in his last post at the official dev thread? Just for others seeking help...

Thanks for setting this up, shame the dev thread has been closed.
Sorry, if this is a stupid question, but will we still get details of updates, new builds (full and nightly) for this ROM on our S3?
Can I also ask the make the first support request on this thread: how can I increase volume and vibration intensity? I can't find anything in settings that makes any difference. Can anyone recommend a 3rd party app or kernel that will help?
Thank you!

Let's hope development isn't lost. It's the finest rom i have ever used.
I did report a bug but haven't got an answer to it.
Checked a few things and noticed the following:
Swype on stock keyboard is not working when language is set to dutch.
When it's set in english there are no issues.
Using slide-it for now, hope it will get solved.

Hi guys,
Started using this rom just before the thread got closed and have one or two questions about it if any one could help.
1. When sending long text messages it is split into multiple messages, any way of stopping this and getting it to send as a single message.
2. I'm unable to change the CPU speed using the built in software, is this due to the stock kernel, if so which kernels are working with this version of android. If usually use siyah but as far as I can see it's not yet compatible.
Cheers in advance and hopefully we will continue to get future updates of this brilliant rom.

Will yank kernel also improve vibration sound/intensity when the phone is silent? It is quite poor at the moment.
Also, does anyone have clear instructions for installing yank kernel on an S3 with vanilla rootbox rom? I am finding the instructions a little confusing. I have installed other kernels, such as Siyah, and various other ROMS before, so I'm not a complete noob!
many thanks
