Miss a few stock apps... - Droid X General

I am running rubix focused and love it but I miss the stock messaging app that allowed you to view the emails in a small window. Is it possible to get and use that stock app or is there a similar app that will work as well as the OEM?
Also, is it possible to get the free version of Quick Office that came with 2.2.1 and use it with the rubix rom? Thanks.

Check sysadmin-x's guide to flashing a new rom... i feel like that would help your situation

Also... i had a similar question when i flashed liberty i missed the blur messaging app for some reason.. and from what people said on the thread its easier to integrate say.. the camera in a blurless rom rather than the blur messaging...

Ok, so some of the apps are part of blur-as in you can't simply find them in the old 2.2.1 files and use them on a custom rom?
Thanks for the reply.

You can... if you're using rubix try the blurry version as it allows you to restore the blur via a tookbox i believe.... I'm on apex that allows you to restore blur via scripts

Thanks I will give it a try. I didn't know if you could simply install the bur camera and camcorder onto focused.

[Q] Blur messaging for blurless roms

Is it possible to put the blur messaging.apk on blurless roms... i've always stuck to blurry roms like apex and bazinga, but i want to check out liberty and i've used the aosp messaging and i don't really like it...
I don't think the blur messaging is something u can add in. liberty has a toolbox that allows you to add in some blue features, but messaging is not one if them...
Try searching around for adding blur messaging into non blur roms, but I dont know any way at the moment

Try Tranquility 3.6. You can add and remove a lot of things

Ohhh I know there are roms where you can add the blur stuff you want, I'm specifically asking if there is a way you can add the blur messenging into blurless roms, like liberty
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The point of a blurless rom is that it doesn't have blur. If you want true blur go back to stock
I understand that... I guess you weren't fully grasping my question

Ok then it depends in the rom that you are running. Fusion seems like a good idea for you because it is a slightly blurred version of fission. Give that a try

+1 for jmoney's comment. I would suggest trying out fusion or apex. Or zapX bazinga, but I havent really followed zapX for a while, so I dont know its current status.

Yeah I've tried zapx and apex... I was just wondering if you can specifically install the blur messaging .apk on a blurless rom...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I guess if it is an .apk you should technically be able to install it... I'll do some digging around different forums

Just because it is an .apk, does not necessarily mean it will install. With that, if it does install, it may not work correctly either. Some .apk files (blur files for instance) have other dependencies such as the moto-res.apk or the blur-res.apk files that come with the stock Motorola ROM's. These additional apk's have the dependencies built into them that allow the blur components to run correctly. Without the necessary configuration (not exactly sure, as I have not done ROM development) these blur apks will not work.
My guess with blur apps such as the blur camera, is that they do not rely on the moto-res or blur-res files in order to run, or only need a modification to a lib file to work correctly. Again, I'm not a programmer, but have a decent amount of IT knowledge and background for basic ideas and concepts. If you can find an answer that allows you to install what you are looking for, I would very much like to know about it, as many people here ask the same question you are asking.
However, (and I hate to sound redundant) the blur-less ROMS are created because many people dislike blur. Along with that... If I can find an answer to help you out, I will be sure to post back here as well!
Sorry to sound repetitive or a downer, just trying to provide you with any info I have.
What you said makes complete sense
.. I guess I just like the "build" of the blur messaging compared to the aosp messaging... I'm slowly getting used to the aosp messaging in liberty.... I guess you can only take what you get!

i dont think you can change the color of the widgets, but there is a app for free on the market called colorize widget(i think) which has basically the exact same widgets and you can change its color also.

Do a search on the xda forums for skinned launcher pro. I'm using the semi transparent XTG launcher pro.
Chefs take the app, open it and skin it. The only downside to this is you can't auto update LP or you'll lose the skin.

Always the smart remark to go along with the help right? I already lost interest, thanks anyway

The colorize widgets are a very cheap imitation of the LP widgets. Yes they do basically the same thing, and you can pick different colors, but they feel very cheap, are hard to scroll for some reason, and just don't look as nice.

I could care less if you had interest or not, its not my work. These things aren't hard to find if you actually try.

Stock camera app on Sense...

I'm looking to get the stock Android camera app and gallery to replace the Sense apps. I'm not currently running a custom ROM, just stock root. I usually end up back with Sense after trying stock ROMS, but I really like the camera and gallery of stock Android. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance....
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I dont think thats possible
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Outside of changing rom's, the closest I could get my gallery to match something on say the Nexus One is with the app "Gallery 3D" in the market. It isn't a 100% exact replica as it was missing a few features but it matched the design.

Camera

OK. Didn't care for the look of the camera while running the latest Cm7, so figured I could use the bloater app to install the one I was used to before I installed Cm7. After I did I had NO camera at all. So I immediately uninstalled it and now I STILL have no camera. So how do I my camera back without Odin'ing or leaving Cm7 and going back to a 2.2 or 2.2.1 rom? Thanks.

You can re-flash CM7 without wiping. Boot into recovery and re-flash. Your camera will be back.
Thank you. That worked! Now, is there anyway to use the camera app I had before I flashed CM7? I think it was from a captivate even though I'm using a vibrant. Thanks again.

No, because CM7 is not compatible with almost ANY TouchWiz feature at all. That includes the camera too.

Is there a better camera that will work with nightlys?

I know there are a few that use the MIUI camera. There's plenty of posts about that in the CM7 thread if you search. But just curious, what's "wrong" with the CM7 camera?

First. I am all cm! But the camera is lacking. Its a personal thing.

I don't think anyone is questioning the validity of you wanting a different camera. I believe BrettApple is asking what you don't like about the CM camera because knowing this information could help people make better recommendations.
Maybe you want more special effect options
Maybe you want a different shutter mode
Depending on what you are looking for, people will be able to make better recommendations.
I've personally used CM7 stock cam, MIUI cam on CM7, Vignette (a market app), and Camera Zoom FX (a market app).
These days I just use the stock CM7 cam for most stuff. I occasionally fire up the MIUI cam so I can take advantage of the burst shutter mode. I don't have any other cameras currently installed.
So does anyone have a link to the miui cam? And would I flash it or install it with root explorer?

This attached version should be installable as a regular apk (i.e. no need to flash/push)

Does the MIUI camera still cause reboots with CM7? I used to get them all the time.

I got one. Not sure what setting though
Rest in peace Mr. Jobs....
If you are having reboot issues, I believe that turning off the AutoFocus will resolve. Some people seem to experience it more than others: I have no idea why.
If you disable AutoFocus, touch-to-focus still works.
I use the mini camera without any problems on cm7. I like it better than the stock for the versatility in settings. Is very easy to add.
