I was wondering if it would be possible to port the widgets from the Samsung Galaxy S over to the Nexus One?
If there is anyone that would be able to do this please let me know (wltnkyl at gmail), I would be very interested in using these widgets on my Nexus One.
**as .apk please since my Nexus is not rooted and would prefer not to root at this time**
Thank you.
same wishes here
most likely it's a no. 99% of the time nothing can be ported from a custom UI.
or not

mm..i don't know..for me this is possible..
The launcher is ported fine..
certain, the social's widget no...because social hub is integrated in the rom, but watch and weather yes..
Was hoping to be able to use the news and weather one as it is the best I've seen. Would also like to use the contacts one, not sure about that one though as it might be tied into the custom contacts app.
If someone can get the news and weather to the Nexus One, as well as any others I would be very appreciative.
-also, downloaded and trying the Touchwiz launcher linked above, thanks for that. Just need widgets now!
edit: Installed the Touchwiz launcher ported by 'rolle3k' (great job), and it is working perfectly, no bugs that I have found yet. I recommend this to everyone out there that likes the look of the Touchwiz Android Launcher...
So I will try to organize this thread so most important stuff (request) is on top, and my rant/explanation of why I want this done will follow. Warning: I know I tend to use a lot of run-on sentences...I'm just long winded
Attached are two stock (I presume) .apk's that I pulled out of Cyanogen's ROM that I have installed on my stock 2.1 ROM. I prefer these two apps vs. the HTC versions, but each have one small issue.
1) - DeskClock.apk will FC if you hit the Music shortcut. I am assuming that this is something simple, like it's trying to call up the wrong program? Can this be written to launch the HTC Music App, hopefully eliminating the FC?
2) - Gallery3D will FC if you try to launch the camera from within the app. I am once again assuming (more hoping, really) that it's trying to launch a camera app that doesn't exist in the stock ROM. Can this be written to launch the HTC Camera app, hopefully eliminating the FC?
I would try myself, but after downloading and installing Eclipse, JRE and the Android plug-in, I still feel like this is over my head at this point, as all I have is very limited Visual Basic experience. Would someone mind doing me a favor and updating those apps are reposting them in this thread so that myself and other like me can use those on our stock 2.1 ROMs? It would be much appreciated
Now for the rant:
I see a lot of people with differing opinions on HTC's Sense. Personally, this is my first Android phone, and I have found that I actually like SOME of the Sense apps. I dont really have a problem with the launcher (though I have replaeced it with ADW.Launcher), and I feel that apps such as People, Camera, and Phone are somewhat superior to what I presume are the stock Contacts, Camera and Phone apps, respectively. And then I wonder why HTC created some of the other apps they did that seem somewhat....lacking.
1) The "Photos" app is very boring and plain. I mean, I appreciate the Flickr and Facebook integration (which would be useful IF I used them), but why could they not have just added this functionality to the already awesome 3D Gallery? I would rather use the stock Gallery app, and even though the file I attached (see:Gallery3D.apk) doesn't have a functioning camera botton, I still prefer it to the Photo app. Plus, it pulls in my Picasa photo albums
2) The DeskClock app HTC included on the incredible is fine for the most part, but I don't like the small clock font and the fact that it takes FOREVER to launch, whereas the stock DeskClock.apk is instant to load, has a much larger font, and does other things I like better; like keeping my wallpaper visible, and is softer to the eye. Once again, I appreciate the added features of HTC's clock (Worldclock, Stopwatch, Timer), but I don't use them enough to make me like this program more than the stock one.
So that is why I am asking for those to be edited so they'll run on my stock ROM. At least until we start seeing some FroYo love
Also, if anybody knows, why did HTC replace the Messages app with one that exchanges the ability to set conversation limits (e.g. 200 messages, then auto delete) with one that uses Facebook for contact icons? I still use the HTC Messages app cause I like the pictures transferring over from Facebook (or the People app, which is updated by Facebook, and hence why the People app I like BETTER than stock), but why leave out any message bulk control? Anything over two or three hundred and my phone really starts taking a long time to open the conversation...
Alternately, once CyanogenMod's ROM becomes more stable, I would love to switch to it if I could bring some of the Sense apps along. Those would be:
1) People - with fully functioning updates and photo shortcuts to Facebook and Flickr
2) Camera - I like the added features...and the fact that it already supports 8MP, whereas (as of CM5.0.8 Test1, anyway), the camera app would only do 3MP
3) Phone - again, with correctly synchronizing contact pictures and speed dial, just like in our stock ROM.
I haven't actually tried pulling these out of the stock ROM and installing them in CM5, but I'm assuming I'd run into issues with the Facebook/Flickr sync...

attached is a gallery apk that doesn't have the camera issue. and also I attached the stock music apk that is need for deskclock.
Anything from Sense requires the htc framework which you are not going to find in any Cyanogen or vanilla ROM and there is no work around.
The vanilla DeskClock apk (with working music button) and 3D Gallery (with working camera button) already exist in other threads in this forum. Just search for them. You will also find both of those apps in any plain vanilla or cyanogen rom that is made.
As for the phone and contacts, the vanilla ones are much better imo than sense. You will not miss the lag.

Thanks jitajt! Those fixed my problems. Im getting to the point where I'm fairly satisfied with everything about the phone. Just got Hydra's OCUV+N kernel installed and it's working great.
I have the opposite request of this thread actually; I need the HTC DeskClock files from a stock 2.1 sense ROM. Would anyone be able to post it please? Thank you in advance!
I miss having the timer and stop watch functionality that comes with it. My laundry always winds up sitting in the washer and dryer far too long without me setting a timer
Hello. I did a search for AOSP DeskClock and this is the only promising thread I found. I'm using an HTC CDMA Hero. Does anyone know if this is or isn't safe for me to use?
Also, do I just push to /system/app?
I don't know about you guys.. but the sense gallery loads up MUCH FASTER than this gallery 3D. UNINSTALLED
I have both apps in my rom and are runing fine

Camera FC
Hey Thanks jitajt!
I've been trying to get this to work on my samsung spica for a few days now.
But now the camera button (upper right) is giving me an FC error. It's because the camer app I have is SamsungCamera.apk NOT the stock camera app.
Could you provide the stock camera.apk for android 2.1?
Thanks.
For those that want to run the proper AOSP apps..
I found some that work nice on our ICS official rom.
for camera you can download
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb2JseW54LmNhbWVyYWljcyJd
it has the pan view very nice indeed
For browser including the browser widget which unfortunately Samsung does not provide us..(sad really) you can get
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5iZWFuc29mdC5icm93c2VycGx1cyJd
I prefer the people app..unfortunately thats not in playstore but the closest and best thing available is
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5nbWFpbC55dXlhbmcyMjYuY29udGFjdHN3aWRnZXQiXQ..
Also if you miss the proper ICS calendar you can get it again from the playstore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5jb25jZW50cmljbGl2ZXJzLmNhbGVuZGFyIl0.
Update..
If you like the proper ICS gallery and not the GB gallery that we got with ICS
check this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb2JseW54LmdhbGxlcnlpY3MiXQ..
Cool... Does this camera app have the funny faces option?
Nop unfortunately it doesnt
exDialer is a nice replacement for the touchwiz dialer.
ICS Launcher on N7000
Hey Forum dwellers, this is my first post here on XDA Developers, I have just started down the road of customizing my tablet and have already found this forum very useful. I was wondering if you people could help me with a couple questions.
I have a GT-P6800 of course and the S3 SGH-1747M, I love both of them for their own reasons but I'm trying to make some of their features the same. I have flashed the Stock ICS ROM to my GT-P6800 so they are looking almost the same. My first questions is does the ICS Stock ROM run TouchWiz 5 or the older version?
I really love the stock weather widget on my S3 and would love to get it on the 7.7 tab. I have looked at various walkthroughs, some skins of other apps, some downloading APK files. A lot mention the launcher as a big part of getting the app to work. I am running the stock touchwiz UI so I thought it should work with the APKs but I just get problem loading Widget when I add it to my homepage, it looks correct from the add screen, but not once it is added.
I have been following this thread among others.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1724553
Is there any way to have the same launcher on my 7.7 as is on the S3? I notice depending on the APP that there are different widgets, for instance the BBC app, on my S3 I can have a widget with scrolling news, but on my 7.7 I only get the app icon. What is the reason for this? My only thought is it must be the launcher since both devices are ICS 4.0.4.
Anyway any clarification on this would be great, as I read and learn more about the possibilities of Android.
Thanks for any help.
I can only answer tw on 6800 ICS is tw 4.0 so its older than tw on S3
So is it possible to update it to TouchWiz 5?
no it is not possible as the dimension for 6800 and s3 is different... but you can search if there is any touchwiz launcher port in the forum. it might work with the device...
Hi guys,just in case anyone can help... I found the apks here in the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691599),the stock ones from the Galaxy S5 but ported to work on the Samsung TW Roms, the accuweatherphone2014.apk and weatherdaemon2014.apk. For my surprise,just putting them into system app and giving the right permissions and rebooting made them work and the widget appears on the Google Launcher,the one I always use,and works fine,but with one problem. When you tap it and the accuweather app opens, very nice design btw, if you select settings it FCs... Any idea on how to make it work?
EDIT
Ok, found a workaround in case anyone is interested, but needs to have a Galaxy phone. In my case I have an S4 with the GPEdition Rom. What I did was to flash a TW ROM, replaced the apks with the S5 ones, set the update frequency and transparency I wanted for the widget, made a backup with Titanium, restored the GPEdition ROM and restored apps and data, and now works perfectly. Was looking for this widget to work on another launcher since my S2 early days...
