I have a simple question.
I wanted to know why most gapps packages out there dont include the new Calendar app with the blue icon?
The only gapps package that does is from ParanoidAndroid

It's in the play store
gapps, are Google apps that are not part of the playstore and not downloadable from google.
gapps are apps like:
Market
Camera
Wallet
Panorama in camera
etc
Are there any more that I am missing?

Yeah I know but then I have two calendar apps and the old "green icon" one causes some kind of conflict with the colors I set for events

Then how would I go about getting the new calendar on CM10.1 instead of the old without having both?

Go to the app settings of the "old" one and disable it.

Not sure about that, the gapps that I flashed contained a file called "com.google.android.maps.jar" to be put in the system/framework folder, and a file called "com.google.android.maps.xml" was put in the "\system\etc\permissions" folder.
So doesn't this point out that gapps at least does something with google maps?

EDIT
just found this (source):
You are probably wondering at this stage, what is this Google Apps thing, and what does it affect? It includes applications which people have come to associate with Android devices, such as the GMail application, Google Maps, Navigation, Google Talk, Car Dock, Google Account Syncing (including Picasa / Contact / Calendar sync), Google Voice, Street View, Youtube, Voice Search as well as the big kahuna, the official Android Marketplace. Pretty much all the good stuff on Android devices. You can still install and run Android without these devices and everything works fine, but it’s not quite the same if you are used to these applications. Note that recently, Google has released the Youtube and Maps apps onto the market, facilitating more direct updates to the end user. If this is an easier option for you, just grab those off the market.

You don't need to install GAPPS to run the ROM...
So yes, it's very much possible.
Try it out.
But if you still want Play Store (for apps), you'll need gapps.
Have you used minimal gapps? That's what I use. Gmail, Sync and Play Store. 7MB I think.

I just dictated this message using Google Voice.
So yeah sure it works.
Just enable Google Voice typing in settings and in keyboard settings enable show voice input key.
Everybody are freaking out the new android 4.4 apps, but I haven't seen any thread about them yet.
So I put all the apks in my dropbox folder here in case you guys need them
Installation
In order to get a proper functionally launcher, you have to install Google Play Services, then Google Search and for last, the itself launcher. Before you open it, open Google search, search something, reboot, open again Google search and search something else. After these steps you can open the launcher with no errors.
Tips
- If you don't like Google Now in the left side of the home, tap and hold on the screen and choose settings, then shut down Google Now
- If you want more than 2 screen, put a widget (google search isn't a widget, so don't bother asking ) like a clock on the main screen, then, from app drawer, pick an icon and put it on the right side of the home.
That's it, have a nice downloading

Mine are well defined, that's strange. Are you running on a stock rom? I'm running the new launcher on Slimsaber and they're pretty good looking.
Any others at all??

Cheers for this. All apps seem to install fine on Carbon 1.8 (JB 4.2.2)... just need to backup and uninstall the originals first before installing these newer version.
You don't by chance have any of the other Google/system apps do you. Specifically the contacts, Google Plus, Play Store (the app not the service as provided) Calendar and Google Maps??
Cheers in advance

Updated with Google+.apk and Calendar.apk (take a while for uploading). Play Store and Maps haven't been updated, so they're the same that you can find in the last gapps.
Decided to make a post of useful Apps (with Nexus 5 in mind) that don't require root. I personally use these on a daily basis and haven't ran into any issues. Please report back if you do encounter any problems. Also please keep in mind, these are intended for those running stock 4.4.4 and are not rooted. As always, use at your own risk.
Messaging com.android.mms.apk
Android Stock Text Messaging (The "Attachment" menu has Sound Recorder "com.android.soundrecorder.apk" actions, highly recommend to install this as well)
Lightbulb com.paranoid.lightbulb.apk
Standard Torch
Facebook Messenger com.facebook.orca.apk
Installing this dummy apk tricks Facebook into letting you use Facebook's internal messenger without the need of the separate Messenger app. Please uninstall Messenger before installing.
CyanogenMod File Manager com.cyanogenmod.filemanager.apk
Basic File Manager
Just FYI, the stock messaging app is nice but try this one out. It's based of the stock messaging app but has a lot of additional features. It's really the best SMS app I have used.

Facebook is disabling the chat in it's main app and asks you to download it's separate Messaging app. This lets you restore the messaging functionally inside the main app. You can Google "facebook forcing users to download messenger" if you need to know more.

Is anything truly secure? This simply is a dummy apk that I compiled. It requires no permissions and you should never see it running. Facebook does a check to see if you have the Messenger package "com.facebook.orca" installed. This dummy apk contains the same package name and tricks Facebook. That is all!
That facebook apk is a godsend, THANK YOU!!
Thanks! I was looking for the Lightbulb and the Cyanogenmod file manager
Facebook messenger don't work anymore.
Can you fix it? Thanks

All-in-one Patch for Missing Sense Apps, Widgets, and Plugins
Hello everyone
The new HTC 10 is marvelous, and Sense 8 is really good and smooth.
As you all should know, Sense 8 is much cleaner and more close to stock Android, HTC removed tons of goodies from the old Sense.
Some of them are available on the Play Store, so it should be no problems..... but.....
How about those which cannot be downloaded
To be honest, I miss them a lot, and I believe many of you do to.
There are installable apks available, but most of them are outdated/modified, also downloading them one-by-one is a pain.
I collected all old Sense parts from our Sense 8 M8 port and packed all of them into an Aroma Installer flashable zip.
Here are the list of apps included in the package, all of them are selectable within the Aroma menu:
Code:
--Apps--
HMS_Gallery_GP2
HMS_Music_GP
HTC_IME
*IMEHWRPenPower
*IMEMurasuIndic
*IMEMurasuViet
*IME_TP_Basic
*IME_TP_ValueAdd
HTC Car
*HtcCarGps
*Automotive_Home
*Automotive_Traffic
--Widgets--
CalculatorWidget
HtcAutoRotateWidget
HtcBackgroundDataWidget
HtcProfilesWidget
HtcRingtoneWidget
HtcScreenBrightnessWidget
HtcScreenTimeoutWidget
HtcSyncWidget
HtcBtWidget
HtcCalendarWidgets
HtcContactWidgets
HtcDataRoamingWidget
HtcDataStripWidget
HtcHotspotWidget
HtcMobileNetworkWidget
HtcMusicWidget
HtcWiFiWidget
--Plugins--
Facebook_Plugin
Instagram_SN_Plugin
Tencent_Wechat_FSPlugin
And the following is the list that is downloadable from Play Store and not pre-loaded:
Code:
HTC Internet (Browser)
HTC Calendar
HTC File Manager
HTC Tasks
HTC Scribble
HTC Power to Give
HTC Backup (Discontinued in Marshmallow)
Changelog
v1.1:
Add HTC Car
Update HTC Gallery
Add a note for Calendar Widgetv1.0:
Initial release
Downloads
v1.1 AFH Link
Enjoy

It's unclear yet.
SD820 has the capability in the SoC but the 10 firmware and kernel may not support FM radio as well as the appropriate missing libs for it to function.
Once there are more devices in hands there will be more information.

Since you mention Facebook and Instagram, combined with seeing mention of them elsewhere in the forums...
Am I to understand that Blinkfeed, out of the box on the 10, won't support Facebook and Instagram without your file? If I'm off-base, please tell me.

Yes, it is not included by default. You have to manually install it.
Appreciate that nice work,
suggestion here:
if you want to put the Calendar-widget in, then you might want to grab the Calendar in.
so when ppl hit the date on the widget, that 'd just call the main Calendar app
Update to v1.1
Also added more information to the OP

So just installing Facebook and Instagram (or even Twitter) off of the Play store isn't enough?
For us to have full functionality of Blinkfeed, we have to choose between getting updates and having to flash TWRP + your mod?

Thank you for this and also for the stock collection thread. That will prove very useful. Really appreciated ?

nope...installing facebook & instagram only installs the actual app, not the blinkfeed plugins...twitter works out of the box for blinkfeed
u don't have to be modded/rooted to install these plugins, just enable unknown sources, copy the apks to the phone & install...I posted the facebook & instagram plugins here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66377247&postcount=41801

No it won't. What you can see on Play Store is controlled by files in /system/etc/permissions.
BTW, the music app is never available on the Play Store at any time.

So when Leedroid or other dev will do a rom for 10 he can mod something in the /system/etc/permissions so we get updates :good:

This is why I packed it to install them in system. I've done no modifications to the apps, so they have to be installed into the system with proper libraries.

The HTC Calendar is available on Play Store (I listed in OP), but not the widgets. That's why I also included them in my pack.

That's sounds very odd. Usually an app installs its widgets build in. Why is it different in this case? There are no widgets with the Google play app at all?
