Hi all.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 for few days, and i installed a JB rom on it, and there are some things i really love !
So my questions are these :
-Is there any mod, or anything to activate like on the s2/3 when you are in the messaging app, you just put your phone to your ear, and it call the contact that you are texting with ?
-Is there anyway to get the samsung's keyboard on the galaxy nexus ?
-Maybe is there any possibility to get the lockscreen ?
-And is there any mod or something to get the messaging app ?
My device is the GSM Galaxy Nexus (Maguro), running Cataclysm ROM (4.3)
I can change my rom to get these mods.
Thanks four your replys guys, and i hope you understand my english.
Someone please ?

If you have the S2 you are in the wrong section. This section is for the Galaxy Nexus, although I guess my answers will still work for you.

There is a direct call feature in some of the modded mms apps. Perhaps some market apps have this feature as well.

Searching for these would be your best bet. If you can't find them, they likely haven't been ported. Good chance the lockscreen is a no. There may be alternatives on the market to get the features you want.

So you have an S2 and a Gnex?
So basically you want some Touchwiz on your Pure Google experience...
-No, that's a Touchwiz feature.
-I believe you can sideload the Samsung keyboard apk to your Gnex and install it.
-No, that is also a Touchwiz feature and probably hard as hell to get working/ported.
-Possibly if you sideload the Messaging apk file.

Thanks for your reply, i tried the apk's and it didn't work.
I wanted the most the direct call feature, because we have '' smartphones '' but actually they are pretty dumb. And this feature is a smart feature imo.

I rooted my Note 2 (amazingly easy via Note toolkit, thanks), then installed Rom Toolbox and set the DPI to 180. Guess what - NO TABLET MODE! Yes, some apps were with split screen interface, but I saw no navigation bar and no unified notification bar. I am sorely missing the nav bar to the point that I might go back to my beloved Galaxy Nexus.
I guess Samsung have thrown stock Android tablet mode completely out with their Note 2 ROMs.
I can see that Paranoid Android is a ways off, and despite myself I like the S Pen and its associated features, so I was hoping to switch to tablet mode and have the best of both worlds. No luck.
Anyone have any idea how to improve this situation?
It seems like its your first time using any non-nexus phone
There is no tablet mode in stock touchwiz/sense etc if you lower dpi...
They just decrease in size, and apps like keyboard which dont have a "tablet mode" in them FC.
However in Note I there WAS a way to introduce navigation bar for stock rom too...ill post it here so please tell me if it works
Ill be awaiting your feedback :good:

This is the mod...
You just made me remind it
How dare you , just look at my signature! But yes, after Android 4.0, I have been using Galaxy Nexus only - in between I bought a Galaxy Note, flashed stock ICS ROM on it, and enjoyed the tablet benefits. But its horrendous battery life on that ROM made me return to the GNex. I bought Note 2 on launch and am already regretting it because TW is so FUGLY compared to AOSP JB. Thanks for sharing the mod, I will try it and report back

So you are willing to go back to nexus to have the navigation bar that you miss on the Note 2 with 180 dpi? Sure ParanoidAndroid is a solution.. but that means losing S Pen functionality. Then again.. so does moving back to nexus. Might aswell stick to Note 2 legends.

Actually that's why I am kind of torn. I love the S Pen functions, and NOTHING ELSE, on TW. And I love EVERYTHING on AOSP JB .

Why not use the Nova Launcher then ? Sure, it's not stock JB, but gets rid of TW and keeps the goodies intact.. (except for the buddy pages, but these are not that significant...)

I am already using Nova. Surely TW launcher is insufferable for someone who is such a big fan of AOSP android ui. Now if only I could get the softkey navigation bar

bro can i know if the mod worked? so that i can add it to my jb mod collection
Stock ROMs does include some of the TW tablet roms components - for example, minimode-res.apk - is responsible for running tablet miniapps on Samm tablets. It has no reason to be on phone ROM but it is included. (Is also included in JB stock rom) Only reason why tablet mode do not work well, is some of the NOTE apks are HDPI+XHDPI, but as soon as you lower your DPI, android will start to recognize apps as LARGE/XLARGE MDPI/HDPI and there is no programmed layout for the apps to be running this mode.
See my signature, there is a hacked ICS SystemUi.apk from Tablet 7,7, which is running fine on Note1 with 213dpi and 160dpi(160dpi breaks call functionality) - mod taken from US Note1, thanks Dagr8, Wanam might be there also included, Qaazi76 for posting.... Thank to them, hopefully there will be also interest to run tablet mode on JB Note2 from devs.
After i just replaced that SystemUi on Note1, you have "microtablet" on 160dpi, with miniapps running from Note 10,1, some apps, Splanner, Email from Tablets are running....but there are some gugs. 213dpi works fine, also calls work just Contacts.apk is broken but still usable as a Phone for daily in TW tablet mode. Anyway, this is NOTE 2 related so...i believe that stock JB rom is capable to run Tablet, just needs some hacking.
So, as soon as some samsung tablet gets JB, hopefully some of the previous hackers (dagr8,etc...) will work on tablet UI for stock TW rom. Or, they may take the previous hacked systemUi as a sample, or somebody might just try to replace the systemUi from the thread just to try.
Hopefully they will work on it as i still keep N1 cause tablet mode. Sorry Samsung, but i see no sense to have big screen with big fonts, icons etc...Your stock UI for NOTEs is wrong!!!
Layout after setting to 213dpi - is very OK for the screen size (I mean Note1)
160dpi - is too small

To run S-Pen features you got to install Touchwiz Roms, not AOSB, AOSP or others from Android Original Development. Last don't support the stylus and it's possibilities.

So there are no AOSP ROM's or Any Mod's which can support any of S-Pen features?? I wanted to try one of those but without S-Pen functionality its kind of No No.

People will never understand that AOSP Android =/= Samsung TW Android. If you wanted Samsung's S Pen features, you'll have to go for a stock Samsung ROM. AOSP wasn't designed with Samsung's proprietary features in mind.
It's so hard to explain it to people who refuse to understand.

Care to share which apps you used? I used to use AOKP, but then switched to Ditto Note 3 because I wanted the Samsung S Pen suite, HDMI out and a camera that actually works properly.

to vanish the touchwiz lag, simply stop using touchwiz and use Nova Launcher or Google Now Launcher

The TouchWiz lag absolutely vanishes on CM. I also wanted to get rid of the Samsung bloat, so CM was great for that as well. I didn't have much use for the Samsung apps and TouchWiz features, and did not consider them value added. I don't miss them, with the sole exception of MultiView.

I agree with everything you said. For MultiWindow on CM, use XHaloFloatingWindow. It works great!

Will have to check that out. Actually looks like better interface than MultiView, as the method of pulling up the MV bar on the right side resulted in me accidentally opening the MV bar a lot, when simply swiping in that area.
You should stay on the beautiful lagfree stock

XHFW is a better interface. The windows can float anywhere, not just two tiled windows. I ran it in stock for awhile with MW disabled.

Hi guys!
I'm looking for the Messaging and Contacts (phone, call log, contacts) apps from the stock ROM (TouchWiz). They're the reason I've stuck with the it for so long, but now Samsung stopped supporting S2 so I changed to NeatROM. They're both so simple and the contacts app has a sliding feature that's indispensable.
I've been looking all over for it. I've found this thread on this site but it only works on TouchWiz.
Any help?

Hello
Unfortunately since the 4.4 neatrom is aosp touchwiz apps aren't supported.However, you could try this guide:
http://epiccm.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/porting-touchwiz-apps-for-cm7.html
It's for cm7 I think but I think that it'll probably work on cm11.
Thanks
