Hey that browser reflow issue you have isn't silly at all. I use my phone primarily for browsing, even a lot while I'm home & that is a feature all of my HTC phones have. Unfortunately the gs3 doesn't do the reflow, even w/ the double tap like on my Transformer Prime. This is honestly the only feature that this phone is lacking to make it the complete package for me. I asked in the q&a thread if anyone knows of a browser that may have this feature, but I got nothing? I'm not sure if it has to be coded into the phones framework? Now I own a lot of devices, but let me tell you that even without that feature, don't short yourself by passing on the gs3. I'm using it primarily for now, and while I rely on that feature, I'm loving this phone even without it. The Gnex is a nice phone, I had it & sold it, but not because it wasn't nice. But, the fact is the gs3 is so smooth that it's the first phone that really made me think that the hardware is finally there, finally so smooth. In my opinion, the One X is the only device that I've test drove that's in the same class as the gs3, and that was the international one x.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Slurpee7600:
Opera

I've never actually had a browser do reflow like that so i had to find a google video showing exactly what you mean.

After some research using stock sgs3 browser, ics+ browser, dolphin hd, firefox for android and opera mobile the only browser on sgs3 that i can get to do this is opera. I've messed with settings on all of them and opera is the only one that does it and it does it automatically when you pinch to zoom, so no need for double tap. I actually find this more annoying than helpful myself, but I hope this information helps you out.

Has anyone tested out the dialer yet? That seems to be the only thing I would really want (for the google voice app integration).

If anyone has, how does S Voice handle being told to make calls and stuff? (need that for hands free driving)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] androholic:
After some hunting, I've found opera, and maxathon both work for reflow. The opera browser kind of stutters and I don't care much for it. Maxathon is tolerable though and I could probably get used to it. This feature is just very important for me, as I'm reading on the Web at least a couple hours every day, and I think it makes it much easier for me. I want the HTC browser! Lol

ha, thought I fubar'd the Calendar after deleting both of them... but luckily after installing the AOSP one in this thread, and copying the SecCalendar_NAmerica and SecCalendarProvider odex and apk files out of my stock nandroid system.tar and a reboot everything is working great :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Kalm_Traveler:
I'm running Trebuchet now but can't find any menu option to configure it at all.

I just used a file explorer to copy Trebuchet.apk to system\app then installed it and rebooted.

The popup menu on the home screen is Trebuchet, but once you go into settings it looks like the normal Touchwiz menu - very much lacking any way to configure Trebuchet.

Any ideas on what I could do to fix this?:(

I swapped these out earlier today, the calendar and mms.

I'm not sure if it is because of that, but now I am getting all of my google apps crashing, and my google account not synching. I tried restoring the apps from titanium backup but it still isnt' working.

Anybody else have anything like this?

Edit: Ending up flashing the Ultimatum Rom and everything seems good. Might have lost some Rogers stuff but I don't think there was anything good there anyway.

Also looking for email app. Also, do you actually have to uninstall these touchwiz apps with Titanium or can you just freeze them?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] AndroidFan4:
Testing the AOSP Email APK. Will update the OP when finished.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] AndroidFan4:
The OP is now updated with Email and Exchange APK files. You must uninstall both Touchwiz Email and Exchange apps then install the AOSP ones in Root Explorer.

I was able to initially connect with a Hotmail account and sync but later could not. I had no issues with other accounts at all so I'm assuming there are some server issues with Hotmail/MSN/Live and this is temporary. I'll update the OP if the issue persists.

As always, make sure you backup the Touchwiz apps in Titanium Backup before you uninstall so you can always revert back to them.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] kpizzle:
This may be a dumb question, but if I wipe the Touchwiz messaging apk then flash the stock ICS one, will I still keep my text messages?

When replacing the messaging app I noticed that lift to ear to dial doesn't work, and when I tapped the contact

Only thing I've seen 100% safe is the browser and adding the second gallery app while keeping the Samsung one installed.

Thanks for testing. I updated it in the OP.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Advantageous:
I did as the instructions told me and uninstalled the Touchwiz messaging app via Titanium. Backed it up first though. Once i uninstalled and rebooted as instructed, my phone would not go more than 3 seconds without popping up a "...com.android.com processs could not be opened"

or something along those lines.

Googled it and it said i needed to delete a file named "recovery-from-boot.p" in the /system folder. The file wasnt even there!

So i had to resort to nandroid recovery. Any idea why this happened?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Gooch707:
This worked great. I replaced the stock email app (with the horrible black background and large font) with the much nicer stock ICS email. Working perfectly on my Bell Samsung SIII with Exchange. Thanks!!

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] catalyst11:
I'm on VZW and we just got root a couple days ago. I very much disliked the Touchwiz messaging & email apps. I did get the messaging app to work via Root Explorer by renaming the secmessaging app as .bak and then moving the ICS mms and doing the permissions but for the email app, it hasn't worked for me.

If I did it w/o using Titanium, would I just rename the exchange file and the secemail file, move the ICS email & exchange files and change the permissions as well? Would there be any other files associated with the Touchwiz email that I need to change the name of for this to work?

I've tried for the email app and it just keeps on saying my email has stopped after rebooting so I can't get it to work so far using just Root Explorer.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] David Dee:
I believe the two files (email & exchange) need to be uninstalled or deleted. If you have root why not use titanium? Titanium is one of my primary reasons for wanting root.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] catalyst11:
Thanks. I actually just used Titanium to do it and it worked. I've never really used Titanium but I will now I guess. :-) I was using MyBackup Pro so I'll switch over to Titanium.

So much better with ICS messaging & email apps.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] David Dee:
Good move, titanium is the best backup utility out there, imo.

There is a bit of an issue on the browser replacement for me.

What I think is the "Find on this page" menu item seems to be malfunctioning - it says "%1$s is not responding..." (see the screenshot). When I click on it, the browser force closes.

Anyone else seen this?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Moh_Jay:
It didn't force close for me but it did display that not responding artifact text for me as well

Hasn't happened to me. Try clearing app data and reboot. Chrome works best for me anyway.

Calendar not syncing proper fix

Hey guys i just wanted to post that if after trying to get the calendar you are finding that sync doesn't work for your accounts in system settings -> Accounts & Sync (everything syncs but the calendar, red icon) then you have deleted SecCalendarProvider.apk and SecCalendarProvider.odex .You need to put the stock ones back in /system/app

Put them back in system/app and change the permissions to that in OP's screenshot. Reboot.:cyclops:

Here are my completely stock once taken from my Rogers I747M Galaxy S III:

turns out i can't upload the .odex but you might not need it

I was wondering if anyone has swapped to the ICS mail app but left the TW calendar. I'm curious if calendar invites received in the stock mail app will work with the TW calendar? Thanks for the great work you've done with this.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] David Dee:
I use only Gmail with the stock calendar and invites and all other functions work well. I am sure stock android mail will work well too with the calendar. If not, just replace with stock android calendar, or bring back Samsung mail app.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] jonhern:
i used this method instead of uninstalling with titanium. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1664554

installed the launcher like any other app. For the mms, i made the Samsung app and odex file into a .bak in root explorer. Then just renamed the mms app secmms.apk and moved into the system app folder and it worked. trying to find a contacts app now. I actually like the touchwiz calender so will keep that, but that sms app was horrendous.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

well the method i posted did not work for the contacts app. both contacts and phone disappeared, then i deleted it and restored the .bak the old files and still wont show up. will have to do a factory reset i guess. might try the op method, anyone successfull and getting the contacts app to work? Edit: Did not have to do a factory reset, just wiped cache and davik and the original apps started working again. Also tried this the other way around, ie after i installed the ics replacements, to see if they would show up after wiping cache, and it was a no go.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

i only get this if i tap my own contact. other contacts open up the touchwiz contact app. I did however do a different method where i renamed the messaging apk to SecMMS.apk like the Samsung one.

I followed the directions, backing up and uninstalling the original email and exchange apps, rebooting, copying the stock APK's to system/app, and installing. But, now, I get an error when trying to add my exchange account back. (My company has some stupid security hoops to jump through.)

For now, I just want to restore the original TW email/exchange apps, despite hating them. But, before I do, I want to confirm the steps to go back to TW apps. Do I just hit "restore" in TB, or do I need to uninstall the ICS apps and reboot before restoring?

I have never used a nexus or cm9 so i dont know what these stock apps look like.

Is the stock email really better than the tw email? ( i just used it to check msn/exchange emails and reply back. basic functions)

stock sms/mms i assume would look nicer

How about the calendar is it more feature rich or looks nicer.

I know there are some pictures in the op but if somebody could post some more of the email, sms, and calendar that would be nice.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] xeni:
I was able to get it to work by doing the following however "Push" doesn't work so you will need to set a timer like 15+ minutes since hotmail doesn't allow anything lower then 15 mintues.

1. Enter username and password and click on manual setup

2. Choose POP3 setup

3. Server: pop3.live.com and Security Type: SSL/TLS Accept all certificates

4. Click next to outgoing settings

5. Verify smtp server is: smtp.live.com

6. Security Type: STARTTLS accept all certificates

I was able to send and receive email after performing the following setup.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] julien.me:
That didn't work unfortunately even with Titanium ... If I display the app list in a list rather than a grid, it does not display the unread count, only in a grid view ... weird !

If you made a nandroid backup before the operation then restore from it. If all else fails then reflash stock from Odin will work. Just remember to backup and restore all your current data.
