I have a question about the Contacts.apk and Phone.apk
I want to swap out the stock contacts.apk and phone.apk to another paid app. the paid app has a dialer and contact all built in. I was wondering if I were to take out the contacts.apk and phone.apk would it still function with the all in one contact/dialer app... or those apk needs to be there for it to function correctly?
I want to ask before I do anything, to save me some trouble from having to load and reload from backup
This is development section, not q&a..
Post your q in general if there is not a q&a section!

So, I just asked this question in the CM7 thread, but figured it didn't hurt to ask to all Tbolt Developers...
Is there any way to backup your contact links? For instance, I linked a bunch of my phonebook contacts to my facebook contacts, but if I perform a full wipe those links do not get synced and I have to manually relink all of the contacts again (which takes quite some time!).
I noticed that the Facebook for Sense contact information gets synced, but after a wipe the regular Facebook link information does not.
I am running CM7 RC0.6 and really want to flash the newest ROM with MR2 support, but want to do a full wipe first and would love to not have to re-link all of my contacts to facebook again.
Thank you!!
Cool rom bro... what features does it have? Screenshots?
I used to have to go through all that as well on my old Eris. I never discovered a way to back them up so I just changed my contacts name to match their Facebook names and no more problems.

Do you think if I backed up and restored Contact Storage with titanium backup the links would be preserved?

I have the same issue, though with time (and deleting lots of contacts/renaming some) it appears to pick up most of them and relinks about 20-50 at a time over the course of the few hrs it takes to sync completely.
edit: Also, yes this thread should be moved to the Q&A section.

AOSP or Blur
I have the AOSP MMS.apk if you this will suffice.
Is it possible to remove the Blur messaging app so I can use the stock one instead?
Yes you can. It's in system/app, can't remember the exact name of the apk though, and use Root Explorer to delete it.
Bump for later use. Sorry.
Hello, I'm new to this forum.
I'm currently using Jusada's ICS1 without tweaks version on my S5830. I'm unhappy with the dialer, contacts and MMS apps on the ROM. Is it possible to get the stock dialer, conatacts & MMS apps installed? tried copying the stock apks into \system\app folder & changed permissions to rw-r--r--. Lot FCs came up.
With the stock dialer I can search using the search conatacts using phone keypad, add speed dial. Stock contacts app gave more options like merging of contacts. Please help.

You can't use stock apps with cm7. Simple as, but there are plenty of dialers on the market.

Hmm. thanks. I've tried Dialer One & ex-Dialer from market. Still craving for the stock apps. Anything other apps that you can suggest.
Hey guys. I'm just wondering if I could get a hold of this .apk. and I was wondering would it work if its a replacement for my system app (messaging).

I believe it relies on the miui framework so you can't just take it out
Supra-charged 3D
It would be great if some dev made a sms app that looks exactly like Miui's, it's really nice looking
If i recall correctly, someone already is.. check around in the forums.

This is the thread you are looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461693
i cannot find the download link in the post, or in the market. And i apologize for not being specific, i would like the Miui messaging because of the popup feature when you get a text message. I realize that go sms can do that, but i hate the UI of go sms and other sms apps alike.
so it's impossible to have this app?
Moved as not software release.... [Q]
As already noted it's the MIUI framework it relys on.
The link posted is [WIP] Work in progress he's a dev with many projects and not enough time "as most are" it's the best we'll get on release to MIUI messaging.
Hello,
I was wondering if I could replace Samsung's messaging app with Google's SMS/MMS app or just install Google's. I really prefere Google's one but for some reason I want to keep a Samsung-based ROM (not for Touchwiz launcher, but some apps like the Camera with no shutter lag, S-Memo which I use with my C-Pen,...)
Yes you can, but you need first remove the stock messaging app

How can I replace it with Google's SMS/MMS app ? Where can I download it and will it work with my Touchwiz-based ROM ?
You can pull the apk out of CM10 build.. Push it in system/app after renaming.. But keep in mind your smses will not be threaded..

Try this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/....com.android.mms&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
I was going to use it myself but decided to stick with handcent which i've been using since GBread.
I expect you can do with this app what i done with handcent, - go into stock app - setting disable notifications, go to app manager the disable the stock message app - setup notifications on new message app and you should be good to go.
The dev also got the google calender etc too.
Hope this helps and works - let us know :good:

I extracted my MMS apk from my cm10 ROM, download it: http://db.tt/kCXioNLo
then use root explorer to copy it to system/app folder.
Then you set the right permissions (all of the first row checked and first of second row only, if in doubt check on the other apps permissions and set the same)
And the look for Semms.apk (or something like this), backup and delete it

I made a flashable cwm package for you .
It does every thing itself.
enjoy,
Thanks all ! But i've no thread in sms/mms, you have an idea ?
You will not get threaded messages in aosp messaging app.. Use the app someone posted from the market.. It is modded to be used in Stock roms

Is there really no way to have threads with the original file ? I remember when I got the Galaxy Nexus for a week, I had threads on my SMS/MMS app. With the app on Android Market I'm having issues with LightFlow and the unread count from Apex Launcher doesn't work

I'm currently on the Sprint S3, and I flashed your package. All went well, but when I tried to send a picture message, it force closed the app. When I tried to re-open the thread, it just force closes.
Btw, is there any way to get the little message icon in the lockscreen for this replacement? I miss being able to slide outward on that message icon to be presented with the latest thread.
