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.
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

I love Gingerbread on the Pro, and love having it rooted (kudos to P3), but have noticed that its a little trickier to freeze unwanted apps (via Titanium Backup) without stumbling upon system conflicts.
Note - I use Launcher Pro Plus for my launcher app. I also use Handcent for SMS and K9 for all my email (4 gmail/google apps accounts); no MS Exchange
Thus far, the things I have successfully frozen:

Yes - rooted GB via Team Black Hat
in my experience, freezing the authenticators seems to cause my motorola contacts to force close; e.g. I can't open any contacts. Not sure if skyrock messes anything up but probably check just in case

Agree. I have gone through several iterations arriving at the list that results with no force closes. So far, so good.
I've frozen DLNA as well, but it still seems to show up on my watchdog so I had to rename the apk to get rid of it.

As far as I know, there are 2 apps for DLNA. The first has the obvious name of DLNA but there is a second one where it has a different name but has "dlna" in the service name. Found using SystemApkManager
great list!
I followed this list and everything went great (but I did not freeze anything, I just cut & paste all apps on my SD card), except I lost my Messaging application (duh!) So I put the messaging APK back in the system/app folder and restarted, but the Messaging app still doesn't show in the app drawer. Any ideas? Am I supposed to "ADB Push" it?
Help Anyone?
Update: So I was trying to flash the TBH Gingerbread files via recovery & the flashing was aborted! But when I rebooted I found that my Messaging app has been restored Talk about lucky.

Help！How to ROOT the droid pro
Kudos for the list, and GB on Pro
I too am an avid Gingerbread Boy on Droid Pro. I had a Pro for almost 3 years, running v 2.3.4 (OTA updates from Froyo to GB 2.3.3, then OTW to 2.3.4), but never realized I couldn't root on 2.3.4 so I found a blog by Sarat Marudhuri, "Rooting For Dummies," and was all set to begin following his steps, including flashing back to 2.3.3.
This past Saturday, after a week of thinking my battery was becoming toasted as I couldn't maintain a good 3G signal and the battery kept wearing out in no time because when 3G returned and the Bloatwares all got happy and started up again, I was still avidly pursuing root. Sunday Page Plus had a major server shutdown, both web and phones, and my broker, Prepaid Online, told me all about it, and asked that I keep trying. At 20 minutes before 9 (central), I managed to score on the call in, and hit the "hold circle" with muzak for about 39 minutes, then got a recording stating the office hours, and the office was closed, so try tomorrow. A buddy of mine is manager of a corporate store, and had a Pro that someone had traded in, so he gave it to me. To my surprise, it was pristine in condition, and was still on 2.3.3! Now this evening, I've spent the past 5 hours working through Sarat's blog and yes, I am now officially "ROOTED" although I'm going to stick with the current version and avoid 2.3.4. I used his list to freeze at that Verizon Bloatware, and confirmed his list with your's!
Hats off to XDA-developers for giving us such a great resource to streamline our Android phones!
So I use Launcher Pro Plus and use the Friends widget... there are about 3 of my Facebook contacts who's streams do not populate in the widget.. the same people's streams do not populate in blur based Widgets either (which I don't use anyway) and I can't for the life of me figure out why?
Any ideas?

did they unfriend you?
I hate the jammed together look of the Samsung calendar app but could not get it to go away even with Google Calendar installed. I've noticed oddly that with 4.4.2 if I freeze the Samsung calendar and all its related services with Rom Toolbox and then install Google Calendar I am able once again to see my beautifully organized Google Calendar in all its clean, usable glory.
One thing I also did was freeze the TouchWiz launcher and related services. I wonder if that helped as well, because I could not get that calendar to go away in 4.3 and I didn't try also freezing TouchWiz then.
I absolutely hate the Samsung calendar too! I'm on 4.3 and can disable it, so I don't know what your phone's issue was. Glad you got it froze now and Google installed.
Freezing all the Samsung crap does help. The touchwiz launcher though is just a launcher. It doesn't bog anything down. You didn't remove the "touchwiz framework". Only another rom will do that. You just removed a launcher.
