My apps are outdated. When I bought the phone - pre-root, my stock apps were different. I notice that Google Maps, Calendar, and Messaging all seem to be the old version. I am running 4.2.2 and the latest version of GAPPS. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I guess I'm not explaining it well. The apps are similar to the versions I had on my Galaxy Nexus, not the S3.

Which GAPPS version did you download and install? HERE is a newer GAPPS (6/15) that I've been using with CM10.1, you may want to give it a try.
My apps currently look like the ones from the Nexus on the right and they used to look like the icons on the left....

That explains it...Before on the left you were on Samsung's touchwiz on 4.1.2 using samsung apps. Now you are on an AOSP 4.2.2 rom using aosp apps. The apps are similar but different and have different icons. The 4.2.2 AOSP rom is going to look like the Nexus.

Ah thank you! That was driving me crazy. How do I get back to the Samsung apps? I like the touchwiz calendar, messaging, alarm clock, maps, etc.

You'd have to go back to a TW based ROM.
Shoot...was hoping I could have both. At least I know what the issue is!

Keep in mind that other launchers and themes allow you to change the look of the icons as well.
I tried the TW theme but I'm still missing the actual app performance/construction. From what I read, I'm one of few who actually like those better!

If you use an AOSP based ROM such as CM10/AOKP they will have Jelly Bean and one of the new things added is Google Now which I think is 10x bettery imo.

You could try Robin from the play store. It worked fine on my GS II Skyrocket. The S-Voice app would always crash.
Embryo ROM has S-Voice.
S voice sucks everytime I tried it (not sure about the S3 , but in SR that is).. Waste of time .
Agreed - I've used both on my S2, and Google Now is better. To be honest, regular Voice Search is just as good in a lot of ways!
S-voice...
I am not totally sure, but I believe it has to be a TW rom in order to work correct? This is more of a question for my own memory banks than a statement...
I use Google Now and it works really well. Just need Google Now to open apps and put events in calendar and the stars will align....
Guys, did you ever think about porting galaxy s4 rom on our device? that'd be great if you port Touchwiz 4.2.2.
Can't be done. We can get certain apps but not a whole ROM their debloated stock software is 1.4gigs.

Oh I see, But that would be great if someone could make that worked. I know that certain apps will not work on our device because of S4's different hardware, but some features like the gestures while in gallery or quick notification when phone is locked will worked because its just the censor on the left side of earpiece, maybe that could worked. I just cant afford s4 so I wish maybe we could get an update of 4.2.2 touchwiz even if other apps or features would not work, I just the love the S4's Rom, that's all.

We will not get 4.2.2 touchwiz I promise you. Its unlikely you will see half of the features you want actually and its likely going to be due to the fact we aren't on 4.2.2.

Also not on the way yet. We are getting 4.3 jellybean.

uhm, yep. they said that we're not getting an android v5, instead another jellybean which is 4.3. haha I've actually realize that they can't leave out jellybean bec of that awesome rom. ) I wish that there will be more features in 4.3, just like 4.1 to 4.2, many things had change. haha
Hey, so i have a question for all of you veterans on here. Im mildly experimental, so i just do the basic flash a rom here and there deal. However, im running hyperdrive rls14 with stock kernel on my Verizon s3. Since it gives me options to have beats audio, aosp email and clocks as well as other great features like the touchwiz motion controls, I've been running it for a few months now.But ive realized its heavy on my battery life, and my phone has been getting hot more often than before. I felt like that partially due to the amount of ram it takes up. So does anyone have any good suggestions as to what i run? Because ive heard things such as pure stock is boring and want to make a good decision.
You can still run this, but I suggest you try the things that you want installed, and those that you think you can live without remove them. I think that will make a huge difference.

If flashing something different I'd say check out Andybones bonestock ROM. Along with the AOSP theme. Slicker than owl snot as my dad would say.

Also = AOSP, right? Well there's Halo, nightlies, "less" lag, faster updates (currently at Jb 4.2.2, TW is at 4.1.2), no TW bloat, (customizable) soft keys, and a host of other things. It's not what AOSP has that TW doesn't, sometimes it's what AOSP does not have which is why folks choose to avoid TW.

This would be perfect for tablet, since you dont need a dock for the phone and such. How did you get it onto your tablet (I am assuming that you did).
Running it now. Though I might recommend to add a feature for removing all bottom buttons

I designed SickSky for phones and not for tablets. The problem is if I allow it as compatible with tablets on Play, then a lot of people would not be happy with how it runs on a tablet (ie no landscape, no tablet-specific layouts etc). Anyhow it is still in beta for now.
Unfortunately the Play Store says it's incompatible with the HD2.
Says its incompatible with my Galaxy Nexus also.

It was like you just disappeared, and other than some scant tweets from your feed, felt like it's been forever.
On-topic: I take it unless otherwise, do you plan to include the ability to create additional homescreens, or is SickSky just a "single screen" deal?

From what I remember Slimbean has a non-standard DPI by default, so you will most likely get compatibility issues with a few apps on Google Play. I have however had quite a few reviews from Galaxy Nexus owners.

Not ignoring, didn't have an answer. Not sure why it isn't compatible on market. I don't have a ton of free time for SickSky.

It has been a good couple years. For now I am going to focus on building panels to suite most needs. Next up will probably be a shortcuts panel. Not impossible to add widget panels later on, but going to stay clear from that for now since I wouldn't use that myself.

That's cool. When I saw that development ceased on Zeam's Google Play page, I downloaded ADW EX Launcher (I still hold the Zeam apk files). The one feature that these two have that no one else seems to include were the ability to hold a good number of apps in their dock drawers.

Very true! I'll try setting it to a standard DPI like 320 or 213 and see if it works. Thanks! :good:

I had this app on my old GS3 running HyperDrive if I recall correctly. I just recently installed CM 10.1.3 and cannot find the app in the Play Store or anywhere else. Does anyone have the apk by chance or can point me in the direction to finding it? Google has failed me.

Sorry, the answer is no. There are variants out there, but the Samsung file is tied to the touch wiz interface. If you want it back, try a TouchWiz rom like hyperdrive rom, my daily driver. It is based off of 4.1.2 but very stable and gives you just about every feature you could want.

Gotcha. Thanks for the reply. I had hyperdrive previously but went back to CM for a change of pace. Any app that's similar that will sync with Facebook for birthdays and whatnot? Or any other cool features such as custom colors or what have you?
