i liked the samsung watchON app in my dads samsung galaxy s4 so much as it was the best remote control app i seen ever beside the other features ....... i tried to intall its apk on my htc desire but it says (theres a proplem parsing the package ) so i thought that when i decompile it with apktool i could find any exceptions i could remove manually but it was very hard ..that i couldnt find it and when i recompiled it with my res apk ... i think i found that exceptions .. but i dont know how to change it or where to find
If I'm not wrong its the app which uses the ir blaster which makes it hardware dependent
Moreover you cannot install system apps of one phone into another. They need dependencies like touchwiz for Samsung and Sense for HTC

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.
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

Is it me or does none of the FlipFonts you install work on the Galaxy S4. I get this message when I select it..
"This font is not available".
Anybody else experience this?
I read elsewhere on the XDA main Samsung Galaxy S4 forums it is believed to be that the fonts have not been optimized for full HD on the s4.

Really..thanks for the info. I wonder where we would find FlipFonts that are...
Not sure why it isn't working, but here's a thread about custom fonts on the S4. Read both pages before proceeding :fingers-crossed:

Hello there,
I am the developer "Free Font Apps" in the Play Store.
We have started releasing s4 compatible fonts, and I just wanted to let you guys know that they are there, and they work on the Galaxy S4 phone without needing a restart. If you search the Play Store using the a phrase like:
"Free Font Apps" s4 4-Fontyou will find the font packs. Each pack has 4 fonts that should work with all Galaxy phones that support FlipFont (including the s4).
I will continue to publish new fonts with s4 support. Let me know if you have any requests.
Any of our older fonts can still be used but you will need the iFont program to set the font and then restart your phone.
Thanks!

Confirmed, I downloaded this font pack:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monotype.android.font.pack.handsome
It works perfectly, just change the font in display settings...no need to use another app to apply the change and no restart.
Thx, looking forward to more compatible fonts!

Thanks so much for these great fonts. I do not root because, frankly, I am not android literate enough to feel I could go through it with any sort of success and I really don't want to own a $600 brick.
Anyway, the fonts work great and I am looking forward to future fonts. :fingers-crossed:
I will also make sure that I rate you 5 stars on Google Play.
I love S-Finder feature of touchwiz lollipop. But i don't like touchwiz... So I'm using CM12.1 by frapeti on my i9500.
I don't find any other phone search app as efficient as S-Finder. Because i guess it is contextual search (search within apps). It gives results of deepest links of almost any app installed on ur phone.
Like search for some text in a note saved in the Evernote app.. And also search for artist in google play..
Also search for some files in ES file manager.. Then search for tickets booked in bookmyshow app..
Im very much addicted to this functionality but then i now switched to CM12.1. Even google now cant search for the deepest links...
It cant get me the results from Evernote like 3rd party apps.
If not 'S-Finder', atleast any other alternative to it if anybody has been using??
I'm in dire need of it...
Thank you.. 
Porting Samsung features to an AOSP ROM will never happen. The features rely on changes made to framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and those changes are both too extensive and undocumented to port.
If you're looking for an alternative and don't want to use Google Now, search for Microsoft Cortana and try it. Personally, I prefer Google Now.
ive recently got an S7 edge and im in the process of setting it up as i like it... ive had a galaxy alpha for 2 years and ive got the samsung weather app widget installed. the new samsung weather app doesnt appear to have the animated background like the old one. its just transparant and frankly boring lol.
i tried to install the old app on the s7 (its called AccuweatherPhone2014_s_lmr_HD its the same as the S5 weather app too) but of course that would be too easy. it fails and says "the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name".. i cant uninstall the new version and i cant seem to disable it either.
is there a way to install the old app? i figured that changing the packageID might do it. i tried APKeditor pro and also apk cloner. neither seemed to work. but im no expert with APKs.
any suggestions as to what i can do?
You can try to install the package disabler or the package disabler pro version for samsung devices, and then try to unable the package of the new version of accuwither app and then try to install the old one.
If that's not working you can root your phone and then you will be able to do with it almost anything u want.
Or u can flash a custom ROM and download the app you want

didnt want to root the phone as i use the sky app at lot and that doesnt work with rooted phones as far as i know.
in the end i tried a few other weather apps.. one was called weather live and that was really good. i liked it enough that i ended up upgrading quite soon after (for a whole 50p lol) and its just as good, maybe slightly better than the other one.. it even displays information in the AOD which the other app didnt do.
