I just switched from a 2.1 ROM (BeHero I believe it was) to the Elelinux_Froyo_2.2_v1.5 ROM on my Hero. One thing I miss is the 2.1 dialer, you know the one where you could enter for example "2662" and it would find all contacts with the letters "anna" and/or with number containing 2662. I really liked that. Dialer One does the same thing, but it is very laggy and slow.
I want the one to the right:
static.whalesalad.com/i/n1_vs_inc/phone_large.jpg
First I thought it was Sence-specific, but after flashing the above ROM but with Sence included, I realised this was not the case.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Dialer one from market has T9. Froyo is AOSP and it has the default Google Dialer.
another suggestion nubdial
This question has been asked EXTREMELY many times AND it's in the wrong section...
Another suggestion is to post in the right place as this is not development... Lol sorry it just gets on peoples nerves so thought i'd jump in there before someone else does
Lol bummer seems i was too late
Haha...

Hehe lol People seem to not know that there is a search button...
you can take the dialer from 2.1 and put it in your rom?
if yes you can try with adb filemanager or update.
but i dont know...
Moved to Q&A as not development

i had the same problem as i was on elelinux froyo 1.4. i thought that dialer one and nubdial were just two ****ty piececes of software. than i flashed froydVillain and OMFG they both worked brilliantly, no lags, nothing... also everything was just so much better in FV.
i think you should try too.
Yep, i use dialer one and it works perfectly. Another app you might want to try (instead of stock android contacts) is phonebook 2.0. downloaded it y/day and its amazing, syncs facebook pics too. Also shows activity, such as calls, messages, facebook updates, lets you reply. Anyway its way better then stock android contact IMO.
These two apps made me feel a lot better about going to froyo without htc apps.

As soon as i got this phone I rooted it and flashed xtr rom because it looked reliable and stable. Which it was the rom was beautiful but i got the froyo bug and decided to move on to 2.2. I installed kaos froyo and love it but there are a certain things i miss specifically the htc contact app which allowed me to merge contacts from all my different sources and really minimize doubled up contacts. Is there anyway to get the htc contact app on a 2.2 rom without sense that doesn't involve flashing? Is there an apk or an apk for a similar contact app?
TLDR: Can i install HTC contact app on Kaos Froyo rom?

Unfortunately, there isn't any way of getting the HTC Dialer (which is what you're looking for) on a non-Sense based ROM. It would have to be ported, and noone has been able to do so. It may be hard or impossible without the original source code.
I have used Dialer One in the past, which is a lot more like the Sense Dialer. I don't know for sure if it has the feature you're looking for, but there's a free version on the Market. Check it out.
Edit: FYI in case you're curious enough to try putting the HTC Dialer on other ROMs anyway, forget it, I've already tried it. It's just not that easy.

What about xtr rom? It's a vanilla rom with the htc dialer. It might be sort of hybrid but it uses launcher pro (not sense) and the same dialer. I was kind of upset the htc dialer has so many little features that you take for granted until they are gone.

It is still based on the HTC framework, which is why so much of the HTC stuff is still present and works.
I really miss the HTC Alarm/Timer/etc app, too. Sigh...
Just flash xtrSense and switch to Launcher Pro or something.

I think he's hoping to get it or an equivalent on a 2.2-based ROM. As much as I like xtrSENSE and xtrROM, I like CM6.x-based ROMs because of the ease of access to toggle widgets in the notification menu, Froyo-native Apps2SD, and the Froyo-native USB tethering, which has been working much better for me than any other kind or method of tethering recently, and tethering is my only internet ATM.
I don't know if the OP likes the same things out of Froyo ROMs or not, but I would assume he doesn't want to go back to more stock for anything more than the HTC alarm clock and/or contacts.

Thank you for the help. Xtr sense with launcher pro is almost equivalently the xtr rom. You hit the nail on the head perfectly as well. I love the stability smoothness and just all around solidness of the xtrroms sense and not. I just feel like i'm missing out when i roll 2.1 there is not much but just a lot of little things above ones mentioned are big. I'm going to rock xtr again for a little then switch to a 2.2 maybe kaos again or possibly what you use and weigh out what i like about both. I would drop both options if we can get a daily use gingerbread though.
i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right

I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

I have this issue with every rom ive tried on my gtab. So now I pretty much just install clem's kernel everytime. Plus it gives me CIFS so I can stream media from my windows pc .

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!
DeadEnd
Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.
I've just realised that there is a 3 message limit before it changes to multimedia.
I wanted to know if there was a way to remove this limit.
NOTE: I know you can dl other messaging app but the stock is good enough for me.

You can go to pulsars rom which has this fix for the stock app. Haven't seen it come up as a seperate thing. You don't tend to see too much work on things like the texting. I always asumed it was because there was little interest in working on something that is already available in several feature rich and well hashed out apps. I was kinda hoping for some tweaks for touch wiz but wonder if there will ever be much happening there for the same reason.
Yeah as krabman said, flash VillainRom 1.1 and install VillainTweaks works like a charm =)
Handcent SMS do the job, too... On stock rom ;-)

Well, nobody ever mentions things like this needing done.
Luckily someone told me about the 10 recipient, 3 SMS limit, so both these are removed if you flash VillainROM 1.1, and then use VRTweaks to take the MMS app fix
Ahem, I did sorta mention in your rom thread that if you were interested in adding a few basic tweaks to TW such as rows and columns it would find an audience with at least one poster. Assuming it wasn't too much work of course. lol
Good, well I have the same problem! 've walked a few things to try! and the exprimentei Handcend, but I do not detect all the contacts! someone already got the solution!?

Is there a list of languages? Can't find it and I'd like to know is there a polish translation.
Installed, boots in english - good taking an absolute age to do miui restore, literally just taken about 2 mins to restore the call logs, it means its probably going to take an absolute age to restore the few thousand messages I've got on the handset! Won't be able to report any other errors or issues until I can use the thing!
Right cancelled back up as I wanted to see if everything worked before using it, I am getting a force closure with the camera, it loads saying media scanning running then crashed out back to the main screen.
*Edit - camera working now that the media scanning had finished, still dont know whether to leave it as it is yet though! decisions decisions, may give it a days use*.
I have gone into the menu under languages only english united kingdom and united states are there along with what looks to be chinese input languages.
Menu interface has changed instead of having the 3 sections at the top it has them all listed vertically, I think I am going to revert back to my RGUI 2.3.7 as that was working fine until this becomes more stable and functioning as a working rom if i've already found these couple of small items in the first half hour of using it.
Baseband is lpq but most system apps are lph, thats a shame. Also seems to crash on about phone -> status.

On restoring the phone it is now half way through my messages, the processor has got really really warm just below the camera!
Now restoring my backup via cwm, I know that works and battery life was good on the SiyahKernel 2.6.13.
Much worse then lets say WIUI beta ics ....
camera doesnt work, gallery doesnt read, lockscreen cannot be changed, phone is bad looking samsung one, random bugs, slower...
Restoring backup
Hmm, gallery doesn't work at all (even with data & cache wipe and deleting DCIM), and overall this just feels really laggy. Not in a releasable state as a daily driver IMO.

The download stated here is about 10 mb smaller than the file on official miui site. Downloading from there to test it, but server is very busy at the moment so the download takes ages...
Also, that page says, posting has been made today at 9:45 AM - Official MIUI Release was made later today, so I think that one on miuiandroid.com maybe is an earlier beta with bugs or something, could explain why several of you guys have problems with it.
and from http://www.miui.com/development.html is 213mb
from miuiandroid.com is 205mb

Kinda what the title is referring to. My phone (Xperia Play) came with pure Vanilla Gingerbread, which is really nice! I've used SO many messaging apps like GO, Chomp, Handcent, Pansi, etc. and I just decide to go back to the stock app every time I switch apps after a day or two. The reason why I switch is because of one thing, the threads take too long to load on the stock app. It's annoying, because if I want to start texting my gf, I have to wait literally 10 seconds just to open up a 1000 count thread. I don't like to delete my messages.
There's a port of the ICS messenger on the market but it has adverts in it for some reason, and what's funny is that it loads a thread that big pretty much instantly, and I mean the ENTIRE thing.
Looks like its time to start deleting messages in your inbox/outbox. Never really understood why ppl like to save text messages. Its like chatting in person and you both writing what each other says then filing it away. For what?

I've had it, the adverts go away, but the white bar is still there. Which is really annoying, I'm using that ICS messaging app right now. If there's a way to either remove that bar, or at least shrink it, that would be fantastic! There shouldn't be an advert because it's a port of Google's software. The newest version has "Removed AD from Landscape mode" in the change log. If that could help.
