I wanted this so bad that I just ended up making it myself.
This is a slightly modified Contacts.apk which has a scaled dialer pad for those of us running a different DPI than stock and don't want the dialer all squished into the corner.
***Please don't attempt this if you aren't sure.***
To install FIRST BACK UP your current Contacts.apk (and Contacts.odex if you have one)
Two Methods:
Using adb:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount rw /system
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/Contacts.odex
adb reboot
OR using Root Explorer:
Copy this Contacts.apk to your SD card
Navigate to /system/app
Mount as R/W
Rename Contacts.apk (and Contacts.odex if you have it) to Contacts.apk.bak (and Contacts.odex.bak)
Copy the new Contacts.apk and paste it in /system/app
Change permissions of pasted file to rw-r--r--
reboot phone
Contacts.apk
Wouldn't root explorer work also. Might be easier for the newbies

Good point. Updated first post. Thank you.
Works perfectly!
Thanks for the Multi DPI Dialer Camoto...Worked like a champ and now I have full dialer at 200DPI on the phone.
Works great. Thanks. The only problem i see is that this doss not change the incall keypad. Any fix on that?

I didn't realize that. I have tried a few changes here but I can't seem to figure out which XML file controls the layout for the in-call dialer...

I have given up on this in favor of using Go Dialer EX which scales and is pretty slick.

Hi,
Can anyone point me on a right track to find solution to this tread???
I would like to replace stock xperia arc dialer/contacts app with native gingerbread as nexus or cm7 rom has. Plus i'm looking for solution to replace incoming call app on my arc because i'm using density=200 and it doesn't look nice...
Thanks in advance
Bump bump bump
Xperia have dialer from SonyEricsson. Original Android dialer looks like in screenshot. You must take it from some original rom cm7 or stock Motorola.
Try to install this.

Then backup your phone.apk to sdcard, and push my *.apk to system/app, set permissions & reboot.
You'll see if it works.

You have not to install it! copy the apk to system/app/, then reboot and add the widget on your desk!
ps: I prefer beautiful widget...
I can't copy...it says something like file is read only..

Did not worked for me. The file was in /system/app even not appeared in widgets
Repeated many times and still not working
Any ideas ? (I prefer HD Widgets or Accuweather For Honeycomb. Trying only to learn some tricks)
Edition after work:
Tips & Tricks
If any reason you´ve installed another version of widgets from accuweather.com, look at /system/app for both com.sec.android.widgetapp.weatherclock.apk and SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk (there are a conflict here)
Mount rw /system/app
Copy files to anywhere you want to backup
Remove both files
Reboot
Copy file SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk found at begin of this thread to /system/app
Set permissions rw-r-r
set RO back
reboot.
Stock weather widget will appear and you can install Accuweather for Honeycomb from Market. Both will work together.

Can there be malicious code or spyware in it?
It comes from someone in China?
PS I am asking because it does not come from someone we know. Sounds like you found this on a Chinese website.

Works good. Removes annoying sim card message but it messes up lock screen shortcuts. It puts default shortcuts back in and it won't allow you to change them. I'm on 4.03.605.2. You could ask the guy in China to fix it, maybe?

Nils' Rom is deodexed, so there will not be any odex files in it.
Deodexing combines the apk with the associated odex file.

i want to ask if any body tried already to remove menus from settings like i want to hide the about phone on stock settings.apk deodexed on jb 4.2 i want to get rid of some menus in my settings i ported dakele os to mtk6589 so i would like to ask if how to? since it is a ported rom some of the menus are not a feature of my stock rom and i want to hide or remove them just to prevent boot loop for example like this in the attachment below i want to get rid of the ad block or sensor_cali .. ..
i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Which tool are you using to compile apps? And System apps don't need to be signed. Maybe that's the problem.
If you want, you can check out Ultimate Guide in Android Development Section which shows how to correctly compile system apps. Its sticky(noun, not an adjective ) there

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for an app for my rom mg1 4.1.2. I really love the AOSP mms, but the only one I found here does not work fully, can not send pictures, for example. application stops suddenly.
I thank you all in advance. thank you very much.
anyone?
anything anything
You can try extracting from Project AOSP 1.5 ?
This one is based on MG1..
I tried ... but I think I know why it does not work ... I'm phablet fashion ... can be that it's coming from ..
Try this one, it works for me, but I haven't tried mms though:
http://to.padlad.com/aospmms
I try it right away. thank you to you friend
EDIT :I installed but ... the apk closes as soon as I try a mms
You have to extract it and copy the apk to system/app and change permissions, make sure there is no other messaging app in there when you do.
I extract it I install the apk, it tells me that it's going to replace the current mms apk.
Just rename the one already there to mms.apk.bak so you can go back to it if needed. Then paste in the one you downloaded, change permissions and reboot.
I tried too, but .... it does not work
