the difference between the SGS and the SNS is that the SGS phones use the Touchwiz framework, so my understanding would be that in order to get the clock ported over you would also need the relevant section of the framework for it to even work
It's what I was afraid, is there any replacement for standart clock it's poor to say the least ok for the moment but would need to do something with it, there is a talk of porting some of TW codecs over to support more media playback.
Any other info would be apiciated
Doues anyone elese has any input?

I tried Alarm Clock PlusV2 based on your recommendation in another thread.
Doesn't work properly on my phone.
I can set an alarm just fine, and I can hear the alarm tone just fine when selecting which one to use, but when the alarm actually goes off, the sound is always so muted I can't hear it unless I hold it up to my ear. I uninstalled it because of this.
No such problem with the stock alarm clock.
that's interesting yet odd...
since it uses the system audio
or you can select from another source if you have apps like Ring Droid installed
also you can select between normal vs. gentle
then for each of those you can select between Ring Tone vs. Music
both me and my wife phone have it installed, and it's loud and clear

Yeah, it's really weird. I only use system ringtones when testing it. I almost never use and alarm clock, my internal one works pretty damn well, but if I'd been relying on this app during my testing, I would have certainly overslept.
I'm using one of the sense style clocks by factory widgets, the glass style one in particular, easily found in the market.

Hey, after searching XDA and google I have been unable to find a way to install the plain, old, stock Gmail Widget on a custom rom. The one that lets you pick a folder and display it in a customizable size window.
To avoid certain comments, I am *NOT* looking for a 3rd party widget which can do what I am asking. I *WANT* the plain, old, stock gmail widget that doesn't require me to install a hacked version of the gmail app to work.
Any help will get a *THANKS* click and my appreciation. I'm either looking for an APK, or a method to extract the widget from another source.
Hmmm... actually, is the stock gmail widget only available in *real* ICS builds? I'm looking at my GFs phone, but somehow I remember it being on the stock ATT rom as well. Lmk.
My Nexus S (i9020a) is running on Jelly Bean, and after recently uninstalling the beta of Apex Launcher and then reinstalling the stable version, I noticed that my Power Control widget was gone.
After I noticed that, I uninstalled Apex Launcher completely (cleared data for the app first to be sure). Still, the Power Control widget was no longer available on my phone.
For the time being, I have downloaded a third-party equivalent off of the Play Store, but I'd really like to know what happened here. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, is there any way to get it back?
App is called power toggle now in play store

Nope. That's a third-party app. The stock Power Controls Widget is nowhere to be found in the app store.
Hi
I'm on the Nexus 7 and have noticed exactly the same thing. This is the stock Android Power Control Widget. It was there with stock launcher and also with Nova Beta, but with Apex, its nowhere to be found.
This just happened on my GNex as well. I figure we're suffering the same issue. Mine vanished after trying out a few 3rd party ones strangely enough. I haven't found anything yet to fix it. Rebooting after an uninstall didn't help either. Any ideas, peeps?

Lol. What the hell? I'm using Widgetsoid for the time being, but this was totally random. I tried reflashing my stock ROM, pushing the launcher via ADB. Zip. Ziltch. Nada. Wonder what could be causing it...

Perhaps a full wipe is in order... But I can live without it for now
Word. I don't really care anymore. It's more of a nuisance that I can't find out why it did.
It becomes unavailable in the widget drawer? What if you on press an empty area on the desktop and select widgets, is it in that list?

No, no longer in the list (for me anyway).
Hi,
Just my 2 cents.... I'm not sure About JB but all other ROMs the app had to be on the phones memory for the widget to even be available or on the widget list.... so perhaps whichever file the power control is in, maybe it got switched over to SD card
Or
An App that was installed moved the files that are needed for that power control widget.
I know its a stab in the dark but ...
Good luck

Go launcher ex
Replace your launcher with GO LAUNCHER EX, free on the Play Store. It is the BEST launcher by FAR. Super fast, tons of options, always free.
Thanks but no thanks
Did a factory reset and Power Control widget is back (on stock launcher), stock N7 JB.
I figured that's what I would have to do to get it back. Thanks for reporting back with a fix .

No worries. Have posted the problem on the main Alex thread, but no comments on it. Also have emailed the Dev, so hopefully it can be resolved soon.

backup your data, and do factory reset maybe it can help to restore the control widget
I am coming from the SGS Fasciante, so am quite familiar with all this flashing and stuff...but I just (FINALLY) got my upgrade to the SGS3 and I wanted to make sure of a few things before i go messing around.
I have rooted and unlocked and installed recovery...root works fine..even AdFree app works...
Using pure stock rooted..no rom has been flashed...Android 4.0.4 IMM76D.I535VRALHE
I remember reading somewhere that this phone now has some checker built in that will give an error that "Unauthorized software detected"...or something...if you modify the os too much...
Is this still true...? I want to remove or freeze the crap apps that come with the phone, but don't want it lock up the phone on me...Is it better to delete the app, or use a freeze program...any suggestions?
What about OTA updates with this phone?...do I need to be concerned about that... will it one day just deiced to update and i loose root etc....
Also, I flashed the DSP Manager.zip i used on my Fasciante..and it is working..most of the time...doesn't seem to affect Amazon MP3 like it did on the Fascinate...DSP Manger also won't stay on a lot...keeps reverting to stock sound quality....keep having to start stop player app and tweak DSP app to get it to tun back on...any ideas...?

You should only get the "unauthorized software detected" message if you attempt to flash a custom kernel (Or ROM that contains a custom kernel) when you haven't unlocked your bootloader, the latest version of ez unlock (1.4 I believe) will tell you it unlocked the bootloader and flashed a insecure aboot. Check out this guide and this guide for apps that are safe to remove or freeze on your phone (If you think you may need the app again sometime just freeze it rather then remove it that way if you need it latter you can unfreeze), also pay careful attention to the guides and make a backup before removing or freezing any apps. I personally use Titanium Backup for any application freezing or removing needs. If your running the stock Verizon ROM and your rooted there is always the possibility of them pushing an update along that breaks root (Fortunately you can restore a CWM or TWRP backup when you did have root, or use odin to restore the factory image). Further more, an awesome app by the name of OTA RootKeeper allows you to keep root even if Verizon issues a OTA update. I'm guessing DSP manager and Samsung's music player equalizer options may be interfearing with eachother causing the issues you mentioned. Technically this version of DSP Manager is for the international GS3 but it should still work on our Verizon version (As always make a backup before flashing anything). Plus not all parts of the Fascinate DSP Manager zip may be compatible with the Verizon Galaxy S3 once again causing you random problems. Well hope I helped let me know if you need more help .
About DSP manager...work fine in all players..including the Samsung player for flac files..but not for mp3...I did find winamp player works perfectly though with dsp manger I flashed..will have to try the one u linked to...
Edit: no change..appears to be the same zip...o well..winamp player for me...not as nice as the Samsung one...but...yea..want the better sound...

I agree, while the Samsung music player has a couple cool features and awesome UI most of the features seem kinda gimmicky like the sound alive settings, like you said I personally would stick with winamp, which is still a realy soild music player and the great sound and customization of DSP manager.

Yea..now that i can transfer my media player to the SGS3, my Fasicante officially gets retired..
There is only 2 other things with he SGS3 I am annoyed with at the moment:
Email and Gmail apps are ugly white versions...(special Touchwiz version I assume)I am not sure if there are blacked out versions of these for stock...I tried adding in the Email and Gmail .apk I was using from ICS for the Fasciante...but it wouldn't work....may just need to find another app from the market...
There doesn't seem to be any settings to adjust the toggles on the notification drop-down....don't need some, and want to add brightness toggle.......

You should considering rooting your phone and installing CM 10 or AOKP they both have customizable quick toggles and inverted gapps for gmail and you can get regular inverted email too.

flash a custom touchwiz rom such as beans and there should be a quick panel settings in your app drawer to adjust the toggles. Same thing for aosp...also you know where there is a guide wink wink if you need any instructions for rooting,unlocking, and flashing!

I probably will...eventually...but I want to keep stock as much as possible...maybe once the final release of JB for this device is out...and the bugs are worked out.
Use titanium backup to freeze ur apps... Great program, should be mandatory for root users and ROM flashers (imo) . As far as what to freeze, general rule of thumb, dont freeze anything that starts with com or has andy the android as the icon. Be careful freezing any launchers and definately make a nandroid backup prior to any freezing.

I was looking for this thread yesterday. I went looking for a comprehensive list that I knew existed but couldn't find my way back to this lol. This was in the Jellywiz thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31545527
Not my list, and I haven't tried everything to see what kind of results happen on what so play at your own risk and I would suggest backing up every single app you remove.
Something I've noticed about stock ROMs is that the clock app is usually missing features that the AOSP app has like hiding the alarm icon in the statusbar, increasing volume over time, choosing alarm sounds from different locations, etc. etc..
I tried looking around for a flashable zip for the AOSP alarm clock app but I couldn't find anything, so I decided that I would give it a shot myself.
This is a flashable zip of the omni-rom clock app from the Motorola Moto-G: Omni Rom
PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT CLOCK APP JUST IN CASE.
I have tested it with the 2013 Moto G and Moto X Stock ROMs.
On the Moto X it's installed as a seperate app, and on the Moto G it disables the stock app and makes it force close whenever you open it, so just disable the stock app through settings or uninstall it.
If you experience force closes or "Clock has stopped" errors, clear the Omni-Clock App Data through settings.
I haven't been able to test this on any devices other than Stock Motorola ROMS, Let me know know what works and what doesn't and i'll add updates!
