Does anyone know if just by installing the first zip the stock looks remains? I would prefer the stock look and didn't know if the second zip was required. Also can anyone confirm whether or not the calendar is working/syncing? Thanks
zip2 is only a few apk's that are themed. So you'll get white settings, blue phone/contacts if you don't install zip2 (so those apps will look stock)
But since the framework is in zip1, the notification area will be themed apex style(gb aosp style), and overscrolling and progress bar colors are yellow instead of blue.
So, no, not installing zip 2 will not give you a stock look.
I have no problems with my calendar.
