[Q] Replace dialer on KaosFroyo v28 - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm unhappy with the dialer on the KaosFroyo v28, because it doesn't have the smart dial feature that 2.1 had.
My device is rooted. I realize that you have to replace the .apks in /system/apps. Which .apks do I need to replace? Contacts.apk? ContactsProvider.apk? Phone.apk? PhoneConfig.apk? Anything else?
Is it safe to push a 2.1 dialer to KaosFroyo v28? I like 2.1's stock dialer, unless I need to be running Sense. If it isn't safe, any recommended dialers with the smart dialing feature (not to be mistaken with speed dial).
Appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

should be contacts.apk nand backup then try it

Why not just download Dialer One from the market. Works great, has a couple of nice themes and free. Just set it as default after you install. Sense based .apks from the sense 2.1 ROMS won't work on Froyo v28.

Froyo Vanilla Calendar App

I have been trying for a while to find a solution to switch the TW calendar out for the stock froyo calendar. I tried to follow the directions in the sticky but for some reason using fileexplorer it wont let me delete or overwrite the stock calendar app. I am on nero v1. Any help would be great. Thanks.

adb push to /system/app/ and such. ripped from cm-6.1 for vision, so props to cyanogen.
Has anyone found the fix for the blurry bar on the top of the stock calendar???

Doesn't work on Nero, there is a graphical glitch and now I can't find calendar.apk anywhere on the nero rom zip.

Graphical Glitch w/ Nero v2
Hi,
Just wanted to post that I tried pushing the calendar and calendar provider apks picked out from Eugene's Ginger Clone ROM and I got the same graphical glitch. It occurs towards the top, like a grey smudge, right?
I'm using Nero v2. I also kept getting force closes w/ the stock calendar when going into the settings menu and tapping calendars. I love the Nero v2 rom, but hate that awful blue TouchWiz theme.
Has anybody found a solution for the grey / gray bar / bubble / smudge in the meantime?

[Q] Third Party Dialer

i was wondering if it is possible to make a third party dialer the default and bypass the stock? i am running a gingerbread rom and loved the htc dialer and the dialer in go contacts isnt too bad so i want to make it the default. i have it all set up except for incoming calls. i want to theme it as close to sense as possible.
nevermind, fixed the issues.
Thrid Pary Dialer
So, how did you fix it?

[Q] Any stock ICS themed ROM with CM9 dialler? [with T-9 functionality]

Hi All,
I am currently running CM9. But, am facing a few issues. So, was thinking of going back to stock ROM for a while. I love the AOSP look and love the CM9 dialer.
Almost all the stock based themed ROM's are having a themed stock dialer.
[ which doesn't even have contacts list inside, it is very annoying !! ]..
Some ROM's, I see are having AOSP dialler, but it doesn't have the CM9 functionalities, in particular Smart T9 dialler.
In addition, the stock call animation is present. [v.v.ugly].
The AOSP / CM9 call animation is so much better.
Sorry, if this feels as if I am hating on touchwiz, but take this as my opinion and not a fact. [ I love some touchwiz features, which I am not getting in CM9].
I know that earlier the Resurrection ROM was having CM9 dialer, but westcrip seems to have moved on to AOKP ..
So, please help me find out any ICS themed stock ROM, with CM9 dialer like functionality.
this is not a ROM suggestion but...
You can try an app called exDialer and download the ICS theme for it. It looks a lot like the CM9 dialer and has the T9 dialer.

Thanks for the suggestion. But, I prefer using the stock one instead of third party applications. [ Have seen that the stock application , keeps on using the memory, under the system application, and I understand that it is a bigger problem on my older phone, SGS, which had .v.little memory. ]
But still would prefer the stock.

[Q] CM10/Stock Dialer in a Sense ROM?

Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but, there is no way to truly have the CM10/Stock Dialer and Contacts be replaced in a Sense ROM like Viper, is there?
I don't usually have an issue with Sense stuff, but the tiny, pixelated Contact photos in the dialer, both when receiving and making calls, is ridiculous!
I tried using CM10 as a DD, but I don't think that ROM is quite there yet for the LTE, yet...
Appreciate any help, thanks!
Check themes and apps for ics/jb dialer and instructions on how to install. It's not exactly ideal, sense framework has a lot of changes that hurt compatibility

[Q] Replace TW Dialer with AOSP Dialer in TW ROM?

I'm running stock TW rooted (not ME7) w/TWRP, and am looking for a way to flash out the TW dialer for the AOSP dialer. Anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks!
Don't know if you're interested in alternate app options, but the Touchpal dialer is a powerful and configurable dialer, includes T9 and quick dial, etc.
Very nice dialer, the one I use on all ROMs.
I'm looking for a fundamental replacement. Am also using a nice user installable app, but don't like that the phone often switches back to the TW dialer in certain circumstances, and also for incoming/outgoing calls.
