Hi everyone - first post here EVER so be gentle. First of all major props to the insane dev action attacking these phones, esp. the Verizon bootloader. Awesome to watch, can't wait for the results.
Question: I'm getting the vzw SGS3, and while I'd like to eventually flash a CM10/JB ROM, in the meantime I'm interested in clearing out as much of the touchwiz as possible without a full ROM. I'm looking at Apex Launcher and that seems like it can change a bunch of the icons, and I've read the thread about using ICS apps.
1. Will Apex Launcher change icons (camera, phone) to stock ICS icons? is there any other way to do it?
2. Does the VZW root solution posted now allow me to remove touchwiz apps and install the ICS apps I want (messages, calendar, email, calculator)? I'd plan on using Titanium backup
thanks! keep up the amazing work
one other question I thought of -
Is touchwiz done in Roboto font? If not, is there any way to get it back in? I really like the stock look.

This might be a kind of noob-ish request, but I'm trying to avoid rooting (I know, I know) and wondered if there was a way to port over the dialer-contacts in APK form from 2.3.
I would appreciate any help/guidance.
Did anything change in the dialer between Froyo and Gingerbread?
Took these off my Nexus S. Not sure if they'll work but here you go!

Be careful. Make a backup of the original apks first (or a full nandroid backup) . if they don't work, they're likely to cause the system to crash-loop (continuous FCs). Happened too me when trying a moded phone.apk before.
Aren't the dialers the same, I didn't notice any differences apart from the look, from froyo and now on gingerbread

Thanks for the fast response, but I'm getting a parse error trying to install the APKs.
To everyone else: I'm mostly trying to get something more like AOSP over the stock HTC stuff, and most of what I've found on here is stuff designed to flash on top of ROMs for rooted phones.
I wish I had the knowledge to do this myself, but there are too many that are talented at this for me to mess up my phone. Is it possible for a fully INVERTED / DARK Theme / MOD on the new JB leak? I can find some things (GAPPS, a few system apps) but nothing that is complete. Battery life is much improved with the dark background, and every little bit helps to get JB good battery life (for me at least). Much appreciated if anyone can help!!!!
What inverted gapps are u using ?

the JB leak that you speak of is touchwiz...you can not flash gapps (which is built for AOSP ROMs) to a touchwiz ROM. This will make you have so many fc's or may even soft brick till you flash something else! for this to be done properly, you will have to invert framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and all the apps that you want inverted! just thought i would let you know about the gapps thing!

This is from eschelon, it is just a xml code change. Change the true to false for inverted. Stock is black background just depends on what the dev prefers.

if you switch to AOSP download the black exodus theme. its fantastic.
I would like a inverted TW rom!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Eclipse AOSP is a super clean ICS/JB looking theme(w/ cm10's circle battery) with black as much as possible and inverted apps. So I'm hoping his TW version has the same theme. I have his beta 2 version of the TW rom downloaded but not sure if I want to flash it. It's got a couple of annoying bugs, and I'm not sure if it has the theme yet. I can't stand the stock look of TW anymore, not since ICS, anytime before that and stock AOSP looked like crap and TW was a refreshing change.
I read a while back that "pimpmaneaton" was going to update his eyecandy theme to work with the new JB touchwiz, but so far no news as to when. This is the type of theme I am hoping for, because it doesn't have to be specific, as it uses VrTheme to change images, not the whole .apk . hope something shows up soon, the white backgrounds and touchwiz colored dialog boxes are driving me nuts.. :-/

You may want to check here. Inflated titan posted a flashable zip. I don't know where he got it but you can ask him.

Got it from another member lol... Its the only one we could find that doesn't force close... If you happen to be on aosp, install this theme along with the touchwiz launcher to get a better effect. https://www.dropbox.com/s/amiz1iufb90vae5/CM10.1 CM9 TouchWiz 5.0 theme v3.4.5 apkarchive.com.rar Once you install and choose the theme, REBOOT!!! it'll change your icons upon rebooting... I also have a zip with all the s-apps and galaxy ui sounds.. But its 170mb and I don't feel like uploading. This is mine with launcher+theme only

I'm hoping to find a few ppl that are still running stock ICS. I recently flashed numa, which I love the rom but there are a couple of things of like back the way they were. I liked the stock email client, the stock swype keyboard, and last but not least i like the gallery app from stock cause it had that built in editor. If anyone could help me out with these apps I would be indebted to you.

Just FYI, that will probably not work as NUMA is a deodexed ROM and the apps you're requesting are odexed. Of course, depending on how badly you want them, there are many ways and threads/tutorials on how to deodex that you could check out.
Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
Thanks for the heads up on that one.

I've been running stock for a long time, and I found the Xposed framework which lets you add modules and tweak your phone like mad, you just have to have some modules. The cool thing is it runs the background on stock ICS, and if there is a problem all you have to do is disable the framework, no having to flash backups and whatnot. I've been working on a theme for stock ICS to get that CM10 style theming going on, and it's coming along pretty nicely. It uses the Xtheme module to do the work. I'll post some links and maybe you all might find some other things that you like and all that.

I guess this device is dead not one person posted a single stock apk and this thread is a year old. wow. shouldn't have bought this legacy device kinda still thought it was useful. can't find stock messaging app anywhere or launcher

You can't use the circle widgets on a custom rom nor in a third parth launcher. About Motorola's stock launcher, I'm not so sure it's even possible to do what you want. I believe it cannot be done.

I want to know if anyone on official kk would be kond enogh to privide me with an apk or zip file.
Just reallg like those circle widgets.

Well, at least I tried to port the circles widget to CM11 M7 but it was impossible, so I'm skeptic that will ever work again, unless of course, you use the KK stock launcher.
