The biggest issue with this is working around the very limited amount of space we have in our /system. Before installing these things, you first need to clear out some space. I recommend having at least 23MB free before proceeding. I’m sorry that this requires so many steps right now; I might eventually start baking this into a ROM and releasing that, but for now, this is what we have to work with.
1) Freeing space
I recommend using a root browser to navigate to /system/app and inspecting what apps seem to be the largest. The ones that might be unnecessary should be uninstalled or converted to user apps via titanium. I recommend converting movie studio to a user app and uninstalling Cyanogenmod wallpaper manager as it’s pretty unnecessary and occupies several precious megabytes of space. Trebuchet wastes a whopping 17MB of space, so I recommend installing Apex Launcher or the stock 4.2 launcher (located in the SkyDrive folder) and then removing this with Titanium. You should also go to /system/media/video and clear out the files there since you don’t really need them for anything. Sound effects in /system/media/audio (with the exception of the ui folder) can be migrated to media/audio on the internal SD card to maintain function and free up some more space.
2) Installing TouchWiz apps
Right now, I have found TouchWiz Home and Weather widget apps that work with this ROM. I have located 4.1-compatible S Memo and Task Manager, but haven’t gotten those to go in yet. Now that you have plenty of space in /system, we can start adding things in.
a) Installing the theme
In the SkyDrive folder, you will find a Titanium Backup file for a TouchWiz CM10 theme. Copy this to the /storage/sdcard0/TitaniumBackup (or wherever you have it set to be) folder, launch Titanium, and restore the app. Go to System Settings > Themes and pick TouchWiz 5.0 and hit apply. Ignore the resolution warning.
b) Installing the launcher/weather widget
Push the “TouchWiz 5 Nature Launcher” zip to your SD card and install from CWM/ROM Manager. If it does not show up after rebooting, try clearing defaults from the launcher. If the problem persists, navigate to /system/app using a file browser and select/install both AccuweatherWidget.apk and AccuweatherWiddget_Main.apk files along with SecLauncher2.apk
c) Adding system sounds
There should be a “media” folder on SkyDrive. Right-click this and select “Download” to download the entire thing at once. Push the files to your internal SD card / media. Copy the contents of the ui folder to /system/media/audio/ui, overwriting the default Android files.
And that should be it! Not exactly a streamlined process, but it’ll do until we see a release of RemICS-JB for our device.

Great job. Two things though, the touchwiz launcher is pretty laggy for me. It just seems to skip animations. Also could you add color to the WiFi signal? I'm really used to having a gray signal bar mean no internet. Other than that, it looks and works great.

Check what things you have running in the background. I'm in the habit of limiting background processes to two, and everything on the device is pretty snappy then.
I think that's gray because we're using the original wifi drivers rather than the newer ones that are capable of displaying up/down connection indicators but are less reliable, but I'll look into it.

I did a little Photoshoping and the icons should now be green (install the backup located in the folder I named "theme green wifi"), but I have no way to test it right now because there is no WiFi here. Just switch to the system theme and back and you should be golden.

I tried downloading from the first links to the apps and from yours. I have both the original Musicplayer.apk and .odex files in the /sdcard/ folder but the application does not install. I'm on ASOPish 1.1 Froyo.UVJK2.
What I'm trying to get from that app is the feature it has that it enables you to listen to the call from whatever is plugged into the 1/8 jack - in this case, earphones or my aux jack in the car, which was very handy for handsfree calling on the road.

[Request] Deodexed, zipaligned Stock apks

Hi all - I've flashed the Super Clean ROM v0.4 by jt1134, but I'm finding that I much preferred the stock music player, and noticed a lack of "ThinkFree Office" in this release, which got me to thinking;
Is there a place to download optimized, deodexed, zipaligned, [insert optimization buzzword here] apks for every one of the stock apps that were included with the Fascinate? Something we can just adb push onto our customized ROMs after the fact?
Again, I'm thinking mostly of the music app and ThinkFree office (I know I can download a free version... was the stock app the for-pay version, or was it the free "lite" version?), but I know that some people also like the stock mms app, etc.
Thanks!

I was just going to start looking for the deodexed system dump. I, too, miss the stock music player. Anyone got a link, and will it work with JT's rom? And how should we install it? Using a file manager, pushing it with adb, or putting it somewhere with root explorer?

Or you can DeOdex your system manually I have used this method and it works, Only exception is at step "5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "vzwlbs.odex" (instead of this file that does not exist on a Fascinate - "guava.odex".) It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process."
I was actually going to request the stock calender apk. The samsung one looks better but takes away too much functionality. I guess they really do like apple haha. I need to know what's next on my schedule without remembering to look for it.
Jt has been slowly adding some of the stock apps as well as some of the AOSP apps to the "extra" folder in ROM manager. I'm guessing if there is enough interest in adding an app he would be willing to provide it. I'm fairly certain that donations to his "beer fund" would help prompt interest.
Jt hangs out in #Samsung-fascinate on freenode a lot, you could *politely* request that he add an app there.
i copied ClockPackage.apk and Mms.apk from frost's rom to /system/app and it all worked. I got back stock versions of both, I believe if you rename DeskClock.apk to DeskClock.apk.bck or delete it you can remove altogether JT's clock.
I wonder where the Verizon stuff is, like the info app that shows you minutes/texts/data used.

I'd like this app as well, if you're able to get it working. I'd try it myself, but I'm at work ATM.
I think its this "I500_MyVerizon_05202010.apk" I saw it in the full system dump. However that dump is not deodexed and from original release. don't know if it would work and don't wanna screw up my system.
You should be able to grab them from a system dump.
The fascinate stock apps that are not included in frosty's zip were never odexed in the first place.
The way frosty's zip to deodex works is by removing the odex files, and replacing the corresponding apk with the deodexed versions.
Can you just take the apk from the dump and install it? I need thinkfree back as well. Does this work or do you have to get the apk and odex file from the dump and paste into the system/app folder?
I remember having a deodexed rom on my D1 and installing apps from the market with no problems. Can I just add the apk to my sdcard and install?
Thanks
I would just copy them to system/app
I do not know if any of them are actually installable if you just run, them on your phone.
If it doesn't have an odex in the system dump, it probably doesn't need one.
I like the file manager "my files" that comes with the stock rom. I might get heat for this, but its nice to have that already installed and or a zip to install via clockwork for other roms.

Is there a way to change an app....I try with all the file manager but it won't...

I tried to rename and move and delete the calendar app on CM7.2 rom, but root explorer and all other won't let me. It says it is only readable. I googled and didn't find anything. I pulled the calendar apk file off my other rom. It's the best calendar app I've seen so far. Is there a way to back up the photon with nandroid then somehow unzip it and replace the app and rezip and reflash? Something simpler would be nice.
Did you mount the system as writable (its in the settings of ES File Explorer, but might be somewhere else on other apps)

Ok awesome it worked after I did what you said, thank you. I put the calendar app I took of my other rom and put it in the app folder and fixed permissions and rebooted, but it didn't show up when I looked at apps. I went to the app folder and clicked on it said "failed to install" after attempting to install. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly. How should I take an app from another rom and install it?
Stock apps, specifically, are very finicky with regards to version. If you are trying to use a 2.3.4 version on 2.3.5, for example, it may be more complicated than simply copying over and fixing permissions...there may be some dependancies on other files (systemui.apk or framework-res.apk for example). You are now exceeding my knowledge level with this topic...sorry.

Do you think the new apps will be more optimized for ICS and not backward compatible?
Eventually that will be so, but right now, over 60% of the Android Community is running Gingerbread... A Developer would be stupid not to allow Gingerbread use.... ie. Google with Google Chrome Beta..... but for now, most will work from ICS down and Gingerbread and up.....
Not too many apps are being made for below Gingerbread... my point is --- you should be fine, nothing to worry about, also, most gingerbread apps are compatible with ICS, so again remember that and the fact that only about 1-3% of the Android Community is running ICS....

Based on my research and countless trials of different ROMS, I must say the widgets are usually added with the ROM itself. And most of the time, if you are referring to widgets/apps from Sammy, these has to be installed separately IF it is not included in the ROM. I am not sure if it will work with CUSTOM ROMS(ROMS not based on Sammy) but I believe it does work with Sammy based rooted/dioxidized ROMS. Enough talking, try these at your own expense.....http://www.mobilegeek.it/2012/11/romow-v0-1-official-jelly-bean-dlib/
If there are any kind mods/experts/pros/old timers out there who wished to share and pass down some knowledge or correct any mistakes on my part, you are always welcome to do so....please.
******** I suggest you do more research on this as I am unsure what ROM you are using/whether it will work at all. Go to the link given and scroll down to "DOWNLOAD" section, there you will see Samsung APP Part1 and Samsung APP Part2. I am unsure of which apps/widgets is in which parts so I guess you have to try it yourself. I take reference from my current ROM (ROMOW N4 Jelly Bean 4.1.1) which is my current daily driver.******
Here are the instructions to install the Samsung Apps as found on the same page in the link given :
If you want to install some AppSamsung and all you have to do it this way:
-Download the zip file of the app Samsung
-Installed on your PC WinRAR or 7-zip
-Open the zip file with one of these programs (Warning, do not unpack, ONLY OPEN)
-Once you open the zip yourself in the folder "app" (system / app)
-Delete applications you do not want to install
-Once done close the zip (Just click on the X of the window)
-Upload the zip on your GS3
-Flash it via recovery
-Enjoy!

[GUIDE] AOSP browser with Flash support

I was surprised when I launched the new Samsung stock browser and it lacked flash support!! Well, shouldn't say surprised since this phone released with JB 4.2.2 which does not support flash... so not much support given in the thread of flash playing, just for getting it installed.
So, with root... I solved this issue and now so can you!
I used the files from from Nexus 7. As soon as we get something that is more for our device, I will change the source.
Requirements:
1) ROOT - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
2) Grab the Browser - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1753139&d=1361590018 ( thanks to sikagoon7 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38356096&postcount=354)
3) Grab ChromeBookmarkSyncAdapter if you want it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1980058&d=1369154901
4) Grab the flash apk (current: 11.1.115.58) - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Steps to do:
1) Push the files to sdcard
2) Rename Browserproxyprovider files by adding .bak to end of the file name (or remove the file) in /system/app
3) Push Browser.apk to /system/app and change the file permission rw-r--r--
4) Push ChromeBookmarkSyncAdapter.apk to /system/app and change the file permission rw-r--r--
5) Install flash
6) Reboot (IMPORTANT: purpose of Browserproxyprovider is to block other browsers so AOSP will crash if you do not reboot after install)
7) Launch browser
If having issues, grab terminal emulator and clear dalvik cache and reboot
Code:
su
cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm *
reboot
Works great! Thanks. Glad I can still use the stock browser too!

The only problem that I've noticed is that media bar is not showing up for me, so I can't go full screen or skip ahead. Let me know if you see this too.

You can certainly try and see what happens, as far as I know the purpose of the file is to block browsers (that's the behavior on my nexus 7). So it might crash the AOSP browser if it loads.

Okay tested. If you rename Browser.Provider.Proxy.apk back to normal AFTER you've confirmed Browser runs properly, it won't cause a crash.
Is this safe to delete altogether? Does anyone know what it does?

I have it removed on my devices. I haven't seen any repercussion yet in removing, only with it installed (AOSP browser not running). Afaik, the real purpose for the is just to be annoying not allowing for extra browsers in /system partition. :silly:

Okay, I've packaged up the bookmark adapter and browser into a flashable zip. It will also delete BrowserProviderProxy.apk (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16473596/BrowserProviderProxy.apk is the backup of my copy).
Just to let you know this works excellent also!!

Boat Browser, as well as Dolphin browser will do text reflow as well. So will my new favorite browser Sleipnir. The previous three browsers mentioned all use the old browser engine (non Chrome) that is still included with the stock rom.
I take it back, looks like smart reflow (doubleclick to reflow after pinch to zoom, without taking you back to overview) works with aosp as well. Apologies.

Updated OP with Chromesync for 4.2.2 and also a new Flash apk is available in the link provided in OP.

Okay, I've packaged up the bookmark adapter and browser into a flashable zip. It will also delete BrowserProviderProxy.apk (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16473596/BrowserProviderProxy.apk is the backup of my copy).

So installing this new AOSP browser will still let me keep S4 stock browser??
It shouldn't remove it since it just adds the APK but no guarantees even if it kills your dog.
I gave the OP a "thanks". This stock browser works great per the instructions. I can once again sync my Bookmarks with Google and I now have Flash.
The stock browser in my I9505 was lagging on some sites with java scripts. Beside, while in full screen mode the navigation bar was not auto hiding.
This solved my problems. Thx.
