Galaxy S3 and Google Calander - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I got my Galaxy S3 and i noticed one annoying thing, namly S Planner,
is there a way to get stock ICS Calendar instead of that?

If you don't want to bother with switching out the apk, I'd recommend just installing a port of the ICS calendar. This is the one I'm using:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.calendar

Tx, do i have to root to switch out the apks?

You've probably figured it out by now, but the answer should be there for those who are having the same problem.
The answer: You don't need to be rooted.
S-Planner really does suck. I don't know what they were thinking when they bundled it with such an amazing phone.

What is buddies now?

What exactly is Buddies Now? I'm on JI2 and it's showing as 'installed' but it's not in my app drawer. I'm considering removing it but want to make sure it's not a background service that I want to keep.
It's bloatware garbage that comes with the phone. Perfectly safe to remove.
So it has no functions? Lol.
Will it break the Facebook account sync for contacts if I remove it?
Nope its one of the Samsung Widgets that come with the phone. If you dont use it or don't use TouchWiz as your launcher its useless.

Speaking of useless, do you know of any alternatives that would be a good replacement? I posted in this thread here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10460755#post10460755
Looking for suggestions.

Samsung APK

I have recently gotten a Samsung Galaxy S3 and realty like the calendar and s memo apps, hoping for consistancy between devices,makes it much easier when adding appointments and finding appointments when the calendar looks and behavior is the same. Has anyone successfully installed these apks to the t300tf and know where I can download them. Thanks

Doubtful.
Those apps rely on the Touchwiz framework that comes with Samsung Roms, and so won't work others, like AOSP.
Maybe check out S3 forums, see if anyone was able to port them.

there are always ways to do it.
i was able to run the TW launcher,S voice and a couple other things from the S3 on my nexus.
i personally haven't see it done though. you can always try and throw it in system/app and see if it works.
I have the handwriting keyboard do you think it will work. I'll try and report back.

I am in the same boat. If you ever find an answer to this, let me know. I'll keep you posted as well.
Samsung apps
Is it possible install allshareplay from samsung stock into tf300t.

Mozyman's right, most of this relies on Sammy's TW framework. (Same reason you can't run that stuff on a CM10 GS3). Google "Touchwiz on Asus Transformer." Some work has been done I think to port TW to the ASUS, but you're going to have to run the TW launcher. Pity, because I too love the GS3 Calendar widget and haven't found anything quite like it.

Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 International unlocked Jelly Bean Email Voice Typing Problem

Hi All
I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 International unlocked phone.
I put the official Jelly Bean update on it via Klies today.
All is good except a very weird problem when you use Google Voice typing to enter text in the stock email app.
If i want to move to a new line, in ICS i just say RETURN and it goes to new line.
Now in Jelly Bean for Texting and for Gmail this works fine as well, using RETURN and it goes to new line.
If you are using the stock Android Email app THIS DOES NOT WORK.
When you say RETURN, it adds a space and sometimes deletes a space, but it does not go to new line.
This is incredibly frustrating and weird as it works in most apps but not in email.
ANY IDEAS????
Thanks
Daniel

Try saying "enter" or "new paragraph"

Sorry i should have mentioned that i googled that earlier and tried using enter or new paragraph and they don't work as well.
Of course they work like return does in the other apps like messaging and gmail where it works fine.
The prob is just in the stock android email app.
I may have to do a factory reset but that is a PITA.
Any other ideas?

Try k9mail. If you had root i would say try an older version of the stock mail app.

I hear ya, however, i am curious if this is an actual bug with jelly Bean and / or on this phone or if it is just some weird glitch on my particular install.
If the former i am looking to see if others have this? If you have a S2 with jelly bean, can u confirm if it works ok for you?
If the latter then im prob have to do a factory reset
I would like to continue using the fsctory app as K9 doesn't do exchange i believe

Never used Voice to Text (disabled this function), because i'm dutch and it's only supported for english.
K9mail does support exchange
BUMP, anyone else can verify if there stock android email app can use return or next line through voice typing google voice to move to the next line while composing an email?

[Q] S4 TouchWiz breaks apps!

I have a couple of apps that I've used in previous phones including a Galaxy S3 that won't work on my S4.
One is a game so who really cares, the other is one I need, it's Android Pro Widgets Bookmarks.
I install it, configure it and no bookmarks show up, the field remains blank!
If I load CM (which I'm currently running) it works perfectly but any TouchWiz ROM gives me the blank field. WTF????
I've tried stock, CleanROM, etc.
Anyone got any ideas or know of a good bookmark widget?
TIA!

Don't like the widget included with the phone? It's decent but I'm sure there are better's out there.

Thanks, found it. It doesn't allow customizing but it does work.
Hmmmmm.......
Back to CM I guess.
Sorry to be indirect, the line above means that app just doesn't do what I want.
I do appreciate your pointing it out to me!

[Q] Possible to add samsung account to ROM that doesnt have it?

Hey forum! Verizon note 2- touchwiz roms
I have played around with most of the touchwiz roms available, and the one thing that I actually use is the samsung account to sync my snotes with my note 8.0. VZW roms have the syncing disabled within the account(thanks vzw). I have been running Cleanrom ACE 4.7 for ever, as its the only ROM that has every feature I need (Sammy account, 5 minute setting for syncing exchange email). I did try to upgrade to Clean ACE 5.0, but the native email sync went to 15 minutes. No good, for me. Push tends to keep the phone awake and affects battery. Really, its the flasher in me that just wants to try new stuff, as there is so much good stuff to play with.
-Basically looking for International based roms that work on VZW, with Samsung account syncing capabilities and 5 minute sync in the native email setting.
-If not, the ability to ad the samsung account to a ROM that doesnt have it that works on VZW.
I feel that I am so close to finding the perfect "newer" rom. Every time I flash a new one, it is just missing one ingredient that I need. Its a vzw vs the world thing- and because of work I am stuck on vzw. Great coverage, just affects the fun with the phone!
Anybody know of a rom(besides clean 4.7) that can achieve what I am looking for?- thanks

hi. I have the exact same problem but im on i9100 I want to use custom roms but they don't have samsung account option. some roms even include samsung link app but its useless without being able to add the samsung account. you will receive an error that it cant find the Samsung account. Please somebody must know how to do this. I understand that its because that part of Samsung software is proprietary and therefore any custom rom cant include it but surely i can do it for myself?
Can you push the APK's manually from ROMs that have them? Idk if it doesn't work, most of the time I hear people try to get rid of samsung rather than inject it, lol.

I figured that would be the way about it but what packages. who knows? ... and yes I feel a deep sense of irony in the fact that im actually seeking out Samsung foulness
indeed I think the only reason im interested is because I can't have it
I don't know. Make a nandroid, wipe rom, install rom with Samsung apps, use tb, find all Samsung apps, back up those, wipe system, restore nandroid, and restore tb.
Otherwise just find a rom that has it, download, change it to a zip extension, extract Samsung files, push apk
wow. it was litterally as simple as googling samsungservice.apk
I used one from 4shared as I have a 4shared account. the app updated on first launch and works as expected.

That's excellent. Nice work! Did it ad all the Samsung apps, and sync for snote? I know I actually added aosp mail to satisfy my then needed, mail sync settings thru exchange. My company now went to Google apps, and I moved up to the note3 which vzw didn't disable snote sync. Which is a surprise!
