I recent went with the CM10 rom and I dig it but I would love the stock music player from touchwiz to work. I have the APK but it wont install (obviously) and I was wondering if any of you wizards out there could lend me a hand? Also I tried CM10.1 and also I dig it but it wont go into dock mode when I put it in my samsung desktop dock, why?
As far as I know, the Touchwiz Music app relies on on Touchwiz framework, which means it simply can't be used on CM10.1. As for the dock issue, I think that's just a bug with CM10.1 which has yet to be fixed. You might prefer a Touchwiz ROM which likely won't have these issues; check here.

Hi everybody,
Before the Nexus S, I'd the Samsung Jet, nice phone with a very good camera application, especially the panorama option.
Unfortunately, on the nexus the camera app is really simple, and I can not find a good application with panorama option.
So I've tried to install directly the camera.apk coming from the SGS2 on my phone, but it seems to be impossible :-(
Anyone knows how I can get it?!
I suppose that it's impossible to install the ROM of the SGS2 directly on the nexus that there are both Samsung's products....
Thanks
Nico
You can't. The Galaxy S2 uses TouchWiz.
TouchWiz 4 needs to be ported onto the Nexus S in order for the camera to work.
This is a PURE Google device.
Thanks for your quick answer
So I need to have TouchWiz 4, if I want to install the camera app....
But I though it was just a launcher, no?!

You need the touchwiz framework not only launcher which is not ported

No. That was not ported, that was just taken from the ROM and put on here. It was just a coincidence that the launcher doesn't rely on the Framework.
All of the Samsung code apps like Phone/Contacts/Browser/Camera/etc all use code from something known as a framework. Without that framework, it won't function. And the framework is specifically designed for THAT particular phone and won't work on any other phone.
The framework is also closed source. So it becomes complicated to port. Is it doable? Yeah.
Would I count on a dev to port it and make it fully working and fast? No.
If you dislike the stock camera, look for alternatives. MIUI Camera (apart of the MIUI framework, Camera 360 (app), etc.
Thanks a lot for your comments.
I've already tried others version of camera but I didn't find yet the good version.
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...
So I decided to go back to ICS for a little bit to help one of my friends get used to their new android phone (Atrix 2 or HD something) and I noticed that my beloved music app that I've been accustomed to, Apollo, wasn't to be found. Play Music is the only option, and I really dislike Play Music. I was wondering since I still have CM10/ various roms on my computer, can I take the Apollo.apk and have it still work with ICS? I have to be honest, the last time I went all the way up to Jellybean, I kind of just skipped all of the ICS roms (went to ICS, but flashed JB immediately after) I didn't search through other ICS roms for music players. The same question goes for Trebuchet Launcher. I've only ever seen it on CM roms. Is it exclusively build for CM roms, or CM10+ roms?
Trebuchet isn't necessarily a life or death thing, but I would like to have Apollo for the brief period of being on ICS...
Apollo and Trebuchet are both Cyanogenmod-exclusive apps, but Apollo is available as an apk for unrooted phones as well. Search around and you should be able to find Apollo. Idk about Trebuchet.

Thank you for confirming what I thought the answer would be. But I didn't think it would matter if I was rooted or not to install APKs..
Nexus powers, ACTIVATE!
Hi guys!
Recently i switched my tf101 from eos3 to eos4 (i did it after TeamEOS introduced tablet ui mode) and i stuck with "phablet" UI of stock launcher itself. I tried to replace launcher2.apk from 4.2 with apk from 4.1 but all i got was force closes =(
Are there any means to set 4.2 stock launcher to tablet UI or install 4.1 stock launcher?
p.s i know about Apex and Nova launchers, but they all have small annoying flaws.
As far as I know, it's not possible without modifying the apk package. You can give it a shot, there's some decompilers available, but it was beyond my coding skills and time I was willing to invest. The launcher is usually tied with the version of android due to lots of differences in the code in major versions, so I'm assuming modifications needed to work properly are extensive... but I could be wrong.

Thank you for your suggestions.
TeamEOS 4 #116 ROM has returned the Tablet bar style launcher like 4.1 had, you just change to "Tablet bar" in settings

I can confirm this, works well.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to get this on the current setup in using now? I believe it was from the alexega rom.
Some of the features were the ability to add more apps to the dock, I tried searching for any type of apk that would give me this type of experience but I couldn't find any (that actually worked)
Other than a few simple but really powerful mods the homescreen looked and felt completely stock.
Thanks, and sorry for the dumb question
