I was playing with my friends evo the other day... and i really liked his dialer/phone app. is there anyway i can port that over? or is it phone specific? can i just grab the apk over from his phone or a rom?
Pictures &/ link would help quite a bit

Pretty sure system apps are phone specific, the framework is tailored specifically for the Evo.....you can try it, and it if doesnt work just do a restore

how would we able to tell if it would work on the vibrant just by looking at a picture? it doesnt matter what the app looks like.......its the dialer from the evo, which is a system app unique to the model...thats all we need to know.....its obviously safe to say that the app is most likely not coded to function on devices other than the Evo
I suggest just downloading Dialer One from the Market. It has a similar layout to the Sense dialer, and you can customize it how you want. That's why we have 3rd party devs
you could also try "takephone" dialer....just to give you some options
it has cool skins, and a very cool scrollable favorites bar
The EVO runs HTC Sense so there are too many differences in the frameworks that the dialer in HTC Sense needs for it to work. This has been a question that people have asked since the first release of Sense.
there are some system apps that can work on other devices, but it just depends on how much the manufacture of the device changed the system app to use things that they added to the framework. But this is one that will not work on a non-Sense device.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could help me get the 3d flip animation to work on my Hero clocks. I have checked out every preview on youtube and seems like Hero does have the feature especially when you unlock the screen.
My device does not do that for some reason and I've tried to switch from one rom to another and still can't get it to work.
I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me as I really love this phone and have been showing it off infront of my iPhone owning friends
Thanks to all in advance

IMHO, it never did take up too many resources, or was a specific performance issue. It was just that some people saw it as one.
It was just that the clock widget didn't update when the phone was sleeping or otherwise occupied. It *still* doesn't either - I often wake my phone from sleeping and see my clock is some hours in the past until it changes to a new time. It just does switches "instantly", rather than running an animation now.
Regards,
Dave
Ok, so if I wanna see it again I have to roll back to the initial ROM and suffer with the lagginess. No good news
Thank you guys for your feed back.

Animating Flip Clock Widget
I have a clock widget with a real animating flip, which does not require sense. Check my thread.

should do the trick for all 2.1 sense roms..
Since I have turned from sense to CM7 I really missed the sense dialer. Not anymore
I found this: EX Dialer
It is a MIUI look a like dialer with a contact manager.

I decided to give it a go because everyone was suggesting it's lightweight and fast, and I guess it is true. It's not natively designed for LDPI (Nitpick). My biggest gripe is that the dialer is a bit laggy though, but I guess it's inevitable when this is not done via a native app.
There's no doubt though its an amazing app, and its free at that. So, if you are missing the smart dialer on AOSP ROM's, its definitely worth a try.
Screenshots:
I don't have any issues with cm7 dialer? I start typing contacts name and the number pops up.
I don't understand what's missing?

I had no luck with that. I m only able to select the contact or type the nr - with cm7 dialer
How can i solve this?

I think he means when you press the search key (in dialer) and you write the contact name it shows up.
I guess. I don't see any other way
Lol my bad,sorry.I'm mistaken for theText msg it works on.

Niiiice......=))
to try it!
its fast,but too simple. Go contacts looks better but too slow.
iam using Touchpal Dialer
its the fastest one ive found on the market for free
I have to agree with the poster above. Touchpal is the fastest of all I've tasted so far.

Is it possible for us to have those shiny panels on android?
Then we can place icons/shortcut on top of it to make them stand out?
*Note*
I remembered i could do that thing with window mobile phones
Seems like nobody knows the answer to this, please share knowledge if you have an idea
if those are just png files in android then I'm pretty sure you can but you or someone would have to make them look like that as in coloring the old image file from whatever apk those apply to then reload the edited apk back onto your android phone. So I'm saying yes with a more experienced package creator. I myself have been doing my own editing and picture creating, just haven't figured out how to properly compact the apk yet.

Those are panels in the mobile sense i believe they're not png files, its more like widgets i believe? then we can place an icon/shortcuts on top of that to makes them stand out
am still a noob in android world, but i think it can be done so am following this thread hoping to find an answer soon
Yes

Android Creators/developers/etc... look to look into something like this
So we can make the home screen icons look even more stand out with the shade/shiny panels...
The original screen is still cool but it a bit plain to my opinion
I've seen plenty of discussion about the One X series multitasking performance and tweaks to address it, but not much about HTC's UI for recent apps. I really don't like the cover-flow-like UI - I really don't need the 3D or reflections effects, it limits what I can see to only 2-3 apps (and only 1 with a name), and it requires extra scrolling to get to an app 2 or 3 back.

Maybe I am terrible at searching, but is there a way to get the standard ICS recent apps view?
No way of getting the stock ics multitasking yet. Only way is to run an aosp Rom.

:crying:
On the Charmeleon rom you can disable the sense recent apps. Which reverts it to vanilla style.
I'm going to be blunt. Yes. yes you are.
I too dislike the cards, but as regalpimpin said, the Char ROM is the only one I've seen that has the option for stock recent apps UI. Would love a flashable zip for this, or how-to on disabling the Sense version.

I knew I was asking for it with that title. Clearly that's not entirely true, but I am surprised it doesn't bother more people. Even the GB recent apps UI was more efficient for switching, unless of course what you wanted was more than 6 apps back.
I'll have to give Charmeleon ROM a try. Or maybe I will go back to using Wave Launcher for now since I've got the recent apps button mapped to menu anyway.
My ROM has memory tweaks applied but I want to exclude HTC Sense from being killed. It dies even when there is a lot of ram available.
I expect it to reload after a Game or Video sure, not general applications.
I was thinking of searching back to the old tweak Aakiam(Sp?) had for the EVO 4G with keeping Sense alive. (EDIT : Found it. Currently trying ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1, still testing though.)
I'll look for that but I just want to know if it works with the current EVO? Before I go messing with the build.prop.
If you have an alternate tweak that does work, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

According to the supercharger thread ics ignores build.prop and instead its hard coded into services.jar from what I gather.
Can you download auto memory manager and check the OOM priority for your launcher?
The priority should be 1 for the default launcher. Priority seems to be 5 (killed more easily) for the non default.
