Has anyone installed the nexus one browser, contacts, calendar, and launcher on their tablet? Basically, I hate all of the Samsung Apps and want a plain froyo rom. I'm willing to install packages from my nexus one until I find the time to build one...

You should be able. I installed the calculator apk from my nexus one into my tab, cause the euro Rom didn't come with one installed, and it works without an issue.

I've been wondering the exact same thing (minus the launcher - I'm using adw since that's what comes in CM for my N1). Since it's barely been a week since purchase, I'm still a little afraid to start pulling apks over to try it out.
I tried, but I get a "replacing system package" warning, then the install fails. I tried this with my tab rooted and unroored

I think the nexus stock browser is a lot faster and more stable then the stock browser on the tab. I tried pushing over the browser.API from the nexus. But unfortunately everytime I start the browser it immediately closes. I just wanna try it out and see ignite any better.
Bump..

I am using ADW Launcher instead of Samsung Launcher and DialerOne for the dialer but I am missing the simple calculator that was on my CM 6 Nexus One.
Samsung apps are just ugly.
Not 100% sure, but some apps are dependent on the framework of the rom. You can't simply start swapping things out. Contacts and dialer are one of those things. A lot of applications rely on other things that's why they won't work. Once someone cooks up an AOSP rom for us then we can start tinkering in the world of Vanilla...
I'll gladly support someone porting over Cyanogen mod.
Youlu address book, miren browser, launcher pro, half way there already!
I have installed Calculator.apk from CyanogenMod 6.0, it works fine.
I tried to install Music.apk from CM 6.0 but it is blocked by crappy Samsung's MusicPlayer.apk. So I used TitaniumBackup to remove MusicPlayer. Then after reboot it still did not like it, because it seems Music.apk contains native code. So I tried Music.apk from beta CM 6.1 for Galaxy S and it installed just fine. Unfortunately it doesn't show music controls on the lockscreen so it must be a function of the lockscreen. So it is not better than Music Mod.
I would recommend everyone looking for vanilla music app to use Music Mod from the market.

im looking for the samsung launcher with the samsung widgets. or a way to somehow magically use SENSE widgets with a different launcher.
any other cool launchers to play with as well?
i heard rumors of acer/LG/moto launchers, but have not been able to find them.
any help/links?
bumping so it doesnt get lost. please does anyone have any of the installable launcher alternatives? and the widgets that go with them.
It can't be done. You answered your question by saying the word magically. If it was possible I'd be using my vibrants widgets on launcher pro.

you can use the vibrants launcher on the hd2 but not the widgets.

put it on your sd card and use a file manager (like astro) and install it.
Hi!
Couple of days ago I've asked about sprint stock apps for DK28. Very strange thing, I've flashed the apps trough the CWM how instruction says and I can see it in the System folder but I couldn't run it. Especially widgets like FeedandNews or something like that.
How I can make it work after flashing?
Are you using the default touchwiz launcher? or a replacement launcher like launcherpro or adw? Only asking because the Samsung widgets will only work/be available if you're using the touchwiz launcher.
I have the samsung widgets for dk28 and I only use the progran moniter one and it just magically dissapears off my home screen when ever it wants to

Does anyone know where I can get the notes widget for sense my 4.0 rom. It comes with notes preinstalled but lacks the widget. I really really want it and I have looked everywhere and I can't find it. I have tried taking the apk from other roms but it says application not installed when I try to install it.

From what I saw, Sense 4.0A's Notes is a wrapper of Evernote (shown in the Account section as Evernote for HTC Sense,) but apparently incomplete as it lags behind the official Evernote app in terms of features, one of them is the lack of widget (Evernote has a dedicated widget app in Google Play, but it works with the official app only.) Different ROMs' apks probably based on different versions of Notes, thus they will not work in your ROM.
either stocks weight ,i think your ROM is sense4a port one V.if you really want notes weight,you can flash sense 3.6

Hey. I think my question is mostly around locking down apps somehow.
I have an N7 and i want to be able to give it to girls when they come over to play games, browse the web, Facebook etc.. Can anyone recommend the best way to hide all my stuff? I wanna load it with tonnes of games (all the stuff i bought but never played) but still have an app or two on there for me. Evernote, gmail etc.
I have chameleon and nova launchers, figured in nova i can hide apps but they can just be shown again via the options menu.. There's no password option.
Im running stock jb, rooted.
My only other thought is to manually backup>verify>uninstall via titanium apps like Gmail, then manually restore when i want them??
I searched for app lockers but most seem to be poorly maintained / aren't compatible with jb or are easily bypassed by the recent menu..
Does anyone have any suggestions for a device i can safely share with other people?

This is why I like Go Launcher:
It has a Running Apps section in the App Tray
You can hide apps
You can lock the desktop (nice for kids so they don't screw up your mojo)
While I don't personally use Go Launcher, it is pretty high in features and functionality. It has folder support in both the App drawer and desktop, themeable, and attractive. Sure you CAN unlock apps through options, but they'd probably never find it.
Somewhere I saw a profile manager where you could setup different users with different launchers, wallpapers, and apps. Might be worth checking out.
Go launcher also collects more data than it needs.
Remember CIQ? Yeah like that...

Yeah profile management would be perfect, like a login on a PC.. there was some mention of google getting a patent for this based on face recog but.. I might do a search to see if there is secure profile management somewhere..

Thanks for the tip. I'm wary of those premium but free apps sharing info >_< plus having paid for nova (albeit on the 25c sale) and chameleon, i'd rather find an option that uses those..

CM10 (and other ROMs I am sure) also have the profile options. It sounds exactly like what you're looking for.

You can try app protector apps. You can lock it down with a pin

I would try a Profile Manager, one for kids/missus, one for you.
Then you can easily switch between them as and when you need.
ZDBox has an app locker which seems to do the job for me.

Yet to try those apps but so far the best solution I've found is to "freeze" the apps in Titanium Backup
It moves the links from the launcher.. every launcher, as if they arent there at all.
There seems to be a batch defrost/unfreeze option, but I'm not sure if theres an easy way to re-freeze a set of apps..
Not sure if titanium backup has a PIN / password option though.. but it would be complicated for a non-tech user to figure out how to unfreeze apps in Titanium Backup..
You could try SwitchMe. It basically reboots the tablet when you switch users. Each user can have their own apps, etc.
App lock could be worth a look.
Freezing in titanium is my solution and works great for that purpose unless she's an android nerd and you pissed her off enough for her to install titanium and thaw out your frozen apps.

You should def look into hide it pro. I've been using it for a while n love it. It gives a fake crash report dialogue to unlock apps n hides pics n videos

I really enjoy Google now. I use it all the time. I've been using it since it came out. I also like the left side of my home screen more then the right. I don't need three different ways to get to Google now from the home screen and I definetly dont want to turn off google now. I also don't want to use nova or apex launcher because I've used them for years. Does anybody know where I can find the KitKat launcher without Google now embedded?

I'd like to stay somewhat stock for as long as possible. If I start flashing now who knows what I could end up running. If I pull launcher three and run it on stock will it work? Would I need to be deodexed?
There's two or three kitkat launcher clones around, check the xda apps section or google play. Can't recommend one as I'm happy enough with stock, but they seem to be near exact copies.
I'm not sure if this works on the nexus 5 since I only got one three days ago, but on my gnex I flashed a KitKat ROM and then flashed bank's core gapps, not the "standard" ones and the launcher wasn't the Google now one. I did it on accident, but it may work for you. Just flash a stock ROM and banks core gapps and it may work.

I use this and love it you can turn off the Google now feature
