Looking for some stock apps. - Motorola Atrix 2

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

Notification shade

Is there a way to get the power controls added to the notification shade if using the stock GB OTA? I've looked and can't seem to find an App or mod specifically for that.
I've found threads about changing the colors and mostly it's people modding the pngs for it via the system?.apk file but I'm not sure how one would add tat, or if we could, say, take the system.apk from a rom that has it already such as Weapon g2x and just drop that on a Stock rooted OTA?
Any idea's or methods I'm just not aware of?
there's an app called "StatusBar+" in the market that has the ability to add power control widget buttons or w/e in the notification bar on non rooted phones....if thats what you're meaning?
StatusBar+ isn't working for the G2X... Any other ideas??

if that app doesnt work, then the only other way is flashing a custom rom! I think u should just root the phone if u havent already, its nearly impossible to brick the thing unless ur completely unfamiliar with it, but even then, its damn hard! There's a ton of awesome roms with the notification widgets
Yeah my phone is rooted. I'm currently using EB 2.3.3 1.07 which I believe is one of the most stable roms... I just wish there was a way to add that feature (power control bar to the notification bar) to this rom without having to flash a different rom or theme...

Could I just take the Systemui.apk file from one of the Weapon2.5 themes and replace my current Systemui.apk file?
I'm thinking it won't work because I'm on EB 2.3.3 1.07, there may be some other files missing from this rom that I might need??
you won't know until you try.
just make a nandroid b4 doing it.

EB already has that....settings --> Cyanogenmod settings -->Interface --> Notification Power Widget
from my themeing experience of weapon and vibrant roms I think its a combination of frameres and systemui. I could be wrong but if it was me id ask a dev who has it in their ROM already it could greatly ease the method to achieve the desired effect.

Well I will take your advice... I see you are the maker of the Precision theme for Weapons... It looks pretty sweet..
Will you be making this theme for Eagle Blood 2.3.3 (v1.07+)? Or better yet does this theme work with EB already?
FYI... It was your theme that I was going to try and use the systemui.apk file...
I have no idea if it will work on eb or not. Im currently working on a few things, but might be able to port it soon.

I believe he's talking about EaglesBlood 2.3.3, not 2.3.5.
The notification power widgets on gingerbread roms are in the SystemUI.apk. The problem is, unless you are really snuggly with linux, java, and the sdk, your chances of coding your own are weak.
However, if you have a rom available to you from the same android and phone versions, you have a good shot at getting it to work, as with weapons systemui on eb 2.3.3.

I have 1/3 lol. Well it's sad that this is the case. I know it is pretty hard to write apps but it seems some things should just be a given considering, Like why no app for this or even a built in option at this point? Oh Well, I'll figure something out for sure.. anyone wanna send me the systemui.apk from Weapon so I don't have to reinstall it again?

Im usually goid with this stuff. I portrd several roms to other phones... easy things is root..
Made a quick froyo rom to use.. installed cm7... all easy.. i m actually sending this from a rom a made for the thrill... confused
For some reason i flash entropy kernel. Go into cwm and wipe everything (red cwm) then flash your rom and it just hangs at samsung. Cannot read anything on my computer for logs to see y it hangs... i have installed from both stock and then tried with cm7 first... i can usually figure this stuff out.. i have uaed odin 7 times with the same results at the end

I've flashed quite a few ROMs this past couple of weeks, including miui and the unofficial CM7 compile, but this one is my favorite so far. I'm not having the data dropoff and intermittent. back key failure I had with those ROM s.
I'm assuming that's there's no way to get the T-Mobile Theme Chooser on this ROM? I've had some success with the theme kitchen so far,but still a long way to go.
Great job on this and Good luck, we're all counting on you

I saw that a lot of people are having trouble with apps sorting alphabetically in the app drawer. It wouldn't work for me until I chose to save and restart right after I set it. Then the phone rebooted and now were are A..Z.

Couple of questions here. First though, I love the rom, and I think it is off to a great start. Keep up the good work! Now, my questions pertain to the tw4 launcher. First question may be dumb, but no matter what I do, I cant get it to sort apps in the app drawer by name. Is this a glitch or am I just dumb? Also, I flashed it yesterday and installed all my apps and it was working great for a while, then the tw4 launcher kept force closing on me and crashing the system and rebooting. I dont know if this is a problem with the rom or an app, but I haven't downloaded many new apps recently. Also, I was getting reboots on most other roms that I tried recently. Or could it be a problem with my phone? btw, I completely cleaned everything and wiped everything and started from scratch before installing this rom.

How can I tell if I've downloaded the right zip file? I used the link in the original post which took me to Multiupload.com and I downloaded CatyRom_v1.5_Infuse.zip. When I flashed my phone, it doesn't look quite like the screenshots. There is only an Applications icon at the bottom of the screen and it seems like the original home screen is now to the far right.
Just seems like somethings wrong, or it didn't get flashed correctly!
I am still learning and this is my first Droid. My background is in BB's and so far I've learned a lot playing around with my Infuse.
Any ideas or suggestions?

[Q] Would it be possible to use this old modding method? CRT Screen Off Animation

I dug up this old tut on rootzwiki: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/379-how-to-enable-crt-animation-on-any-23-device/
Basically, it states that you can enable the CRT screen on/off animation by editing bools.xml in any framework-res.apk on an android phone above version 2.3. I currently am running a stock pre-rooted deodexed rom. Kernel: "3.0.31-1152558 [email protected] #1"
Alot of users end up bricking their phones by trying to replace the framework-res.apk obtained from other sources, and right now i'm feeling scared to edit the apk by myself.
Would this procedure be too risky? Can I take a nandroid backup of only my system partition to restore from soft brick? Or, if something goes wrong, is it possible that it could be hard bricked just from this wrong apk?
You just want to change CRT animation? Why not use xposed?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Then there are all kinds of modules you could tinker with (xblast tools for example is one I use). It's really easy, and pretty safe I'd say.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
omigawsh, i've used the xposed framework for google wallet, and i never knew i could do this. WOW! Thanks man. I'm gonna try it out.
Update: It seems xblast tools does not work. I heard the library "libsurfaceflinger.so " needs to be edited on the GS3 stock rom. I cant just flash any version, as it holds a video driver, so I need to edit it.
What Rom are you using? The developer of xblast is super responsive. Plus I know they have updated it twice recently (most recently to work with 4.4). Send him an email, maybe he can help you.

I was running a stock 4.1.2 touchwiz rom when attempting this mod. Since this thread i've just loaded the 11-20-2013 nightly of the KitKang 4.4 rom. I'm still interested to know if its possible to modify the graphics driver on the SCH-I535 stock roms. It would be a great mod for those hesitant to install custom roms for the sake of the CRT animation.
I'm not sure alot of xposed devs have had experience modifying android graphics drivers. Afaik xposed only modifies the system framework that runs in the java virtual environment. Drivers are on the kernel level. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to contact some developers.

Is there a ROM with just a little more than stock?

I'd like to stay mostly stock but there a few small feautures I miss from prior devices ROMs.
Most of the ROMs I have looked at on here are pretty far from stock.
Are there any that are close to stock?

I was running a stock rom with just xposed and gravity box for quite some time. It gives you ability to make a lot or just a little enhancements. It might be just what you need.
Another vote for stock plus xposed framework. Everything you want and nothing you don't
Sent from my Nexus 5
I agree. I am running Cataclysm which is very close to stock. Might be one to check out if you want a new ROM. But xposed with gravity box gave me pretty much all the same features that I used from cataclysm.
Might be better to post this in the Q&A section next time.
But yeah Xposed framework might help you out.
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...tom-stock-roms-and-hello-to-xposed-framework/
+1 for Xposed AND +1 for Cataclysm ROM.
Used and enjoyed both, stuck with Cata personally for the SmartRadio feature the Author includes :3. Art compatibility is nice too.
Thanks everyone!!
I am currently looking into both options.
Did some googling and didn't find much on SmartRadio, could you clue me in?

It's basically some logic built into the rom to control your 2g/3g/4g and Wifi connections. Automatically disable, enable, that sort of thing. You can do the same with apps, Tasker, scripts, probably Xposed too.

Is there any way to put in the stock rom the nav bar ring that comes with some roms that allows you to make a screenshot with a swipe up, just like going to Google now with the swipe up.

Yes of course. Download the Xposed Installer app first and within that download and install the framework for it, then download the GravityBox KK module, enable it in Xposed and reboot. Wanam module is also good for minor tweaks and changes. AppOpsXposed module will allow you to change individual apps' permissions like not allowing twitter to use location for example.

What launcher did you use? and good job on making a working rom for it, I had been messing around with trying to cook one in the kitchen app for the SS730G. I may give that one a shot with flashing this one, the stock rom on it is having issues anyways as when I try to shut it down it reboots 9 times out of 10.

Launcher pro, the only launcher I will use since I bought my first droid, runs clean and light. There's always the option to change to whatever launcher you like, for me, on this phone, runs the smoothest and that's what I'm going for here. Many changes still to come!
Kitchen is a great tool for learning AS LONG as you take a look at every change you implement with kitchen, in the update or updater script itself. The one thing about it is, that if you fully rely on kitchen, even if it does work, you won't learn a thing. All of the changes kitchen makes, can be made in terminal and text editor (Linux) to give you some hands on experience

I'm partial to the Nova Launcher myself, but I know what you mean. While the stock launcher is better than the standard Samsung Touchwiz crap, it definitely could use a speed increase on this phone.
I keep hoping and dreaming that someone will be able to port KitKat to this phone. I just flashed the current SlimKat rom on my Nexus S and I'm impressed with how fast the Google Now launcher performs on it. Maybe with this one overclocked to 1GHz and it having 512 megs of ram which I think is a little more than the Nexus S had it would make a different.

Kit Kat was built to run on 512mb, from everything I've heard it utilizes memory way better than any other version yet. I'm going to look at porting ROMs to this device, but one project at a time . It should be possible though. Even if I can port a stock 4.4.2 and start customizing from there, I think this phone would benefit tremendously from it, more so then newer more powerful devices.

I flashed my 730G with this rom, so far it looks good. I may switch the launcher to a different one but other than this it looks and appears to run fine. I can't test the radio at the moment as my net10 sim is cut down to nano size and I can't find my regular sim to nano sim adapter. I know I have one but finding it will be the fun part.
Double check the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS etc, make sure they turn on and work. They should as they work fine on the 730m, but you never know. I haven't seen the build.prop for the G

And check your root too. If root works than the rooting process is the same for both. Just open root browser and if it asks for superuser access you're golden. Plan to add terminal and cpu tuner in the next update.

The wi-fi and GPS appear to work fine. I still haven't been able to find my nano to regular size sim adapter. I wound up replacing launcher pro with nova launcher, and I also installed Titanium backup which I used to integrate the google keyboard. After I switched over to it, I froze the samsung keyboard which was a pain in the ass to have to work with. You may want to look into switching the keyboard if you have a preference in a future release. I really like the google keyboard myself.

I've considered switching the default launcher to nova, or I should say I've tried to. I've had issues with everything I've tried, except launcher pro, and lightning launcher. Lighting launcher is actually extremely fast and lightweight, I think the app itself is less the a MB, but its far different than your standard, familiar style of launcher so I opted out. I've tried solo, which is nearly identical to nova, except there's no pro version, all "pro" features are entirely free. I've also tried KK launcher, again very similar to nova, but all three of them will not load after the initial setup screen. Just don't work well as system apps. Loading them into the data partition should solve this problem, but they install with a file size of 0 MB, and again, won't actually load. All of them work fine when installed from the market, or from an apk, just haven't had luck packaging them with the ROM. I'll look into the keyboard thing. I prefer Swype, but given it's a paid app, I can't really incorporate it, and I don't want to just include a 30 day trial app in the ROM. I'll keep plucking away at it tho. Thanks a ton for your input

ok I just wiped it and went thru setup, it worked with no issues with the samsung keyboard and the nova launcher as system apps. maybe this will help for customizing the rom further? Also it might be a good idea to remove the updater app just to be safe. While I don't think that they would ever push out a rom update for the samsung S730M or S730G it might cause issues if someone who didn't know better used the updater app and downloaded a rom update. It may not be an issue, but I figured it was worth mentioning
I wanted to give an update. I was able to successfully use your rom as a base to make my own custom rom. I had to extract the updater script binary from yours to drop into the appropriate folder in my working folder. I'm going to do a little more fine tuning on what apps I want to include but I should have it ready to share soon.
Also, I finally found my adapter so I was able to read my Net10 sim in my S730G, other than it not having the correct APN which I had to manually enter It worked with no problems once I setup the APN, full signal and no issues with downloading anything once the APN was setup.
OK I've finished the 1.0 version of my rom. it can be found here
Thanks but
before I flash this I want to know if anyone knows where I can download the odin flashable stock firmware for this device. So glad that this is out though but this phone is only 4 months old for me still got 8 months for something to go horribly wrong with it
Thanks! Overall OK.

There is no Odin flashable ROM for this phone. I do have there stock flashable zips tho. Worst case scenario, you Odin flash recovery, then flash the stock zip via cwm. I've been working on CM 9, and have not been able to get it to work, but no matter how many times I've flashed it, I can always flash back to stock via recovery, haven't bricked yet

following!
I'm new to flashing in general so I am just learning what the process entails, but I just put CM11 onto an N7 '13 and I am very impressed with what people are doing. I also have a sluggish Samsung Discover so I'm very interested in how this work proceeds!
Best of luck everyone and thank you Atmu5fear, hopefully I can share my experience soon as well.
