Here is a modified stock AT&T Contacts.apk file without the permanent Yellow Pages contact at the top. The is for rooted users only.
Replace the Contacts.apk in /system/app using Root Explorer. Change it's permissions to RW-R--R--. Reboot!
WARNING: Do not use this for any custom ROMs, only for use on a stock AT&T ROM! Also, remember to make backups...
Funny, I never even noticed the YP thingy on the top of my contacts till now. How lame. When I clicked on it, I got a force close. I must have already frozen whatever that button links to...
Thanks, maybe that apk can be swapped out for the stock one in our custom rom(s)...

Awesome work!! This is verified working.
Niceeeee. Like to see dev work like this. Great work. This should maybe be in the themes and apps section though. Not a criticism.
How obnoxious of them to stick that YP in the contacts ?
Thanks, I tried posting in dev but it said not enough posts . I remove the yp app and mine force closed also when clicking the contact. It's crazy how much bloat ware came on this thing. I'd like to see a stock Samsung contacts.apk to see what else they hacked up
So just did this and now Contacts is missing from my app drawer and it wont launch from my launcher tray......... and I cant make calls the phone shortcut is gone.....
You need to restart the phone...

I've rebooted multiple times. I tried again same deal not sure what the issue is. I'm on TPC's v2 ROM not sure if that would cause any issue.
Same here and i didn't back up the stock app lol. Does anyone have the unmodded apk?

I have it, PM me you email addy I'll mail it over to you. I would upload it but I'm at work right now.
I haven't tested this on any of the custom ROMs, only the stock AT&T ROM. I'm not sure what they did with their Contacts.apk file. If you upload the one from your ROM, I can see if I can make the same mods that I did to the AT&T one.
Didn't work for me either, and also copied it over stock apk and don't have a backup. Using TPC V2 ROM. Any one have stock Contacts.apk for that rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
Using Go Contacts EX from the market for now. It's a little much, but works for good as a replacement for stock.
Looked over in the dev section- will probably be flashing a new ROM soon anyway

I lost swype and I cannot get it back. I lost it along with slacker, memos, mobiTV and the other apps that came with it.
Any way how to get them back?

I think you might get better answers by asking this question in the hybrid tread?
I read that you need to install swype "beta" version to get swype back.
I'm sure the other apps can be found in the market I'm sure?
Did you even run a Titanium Backup to restore apps?
Yes, I do a scheduled Titanium backup and backup before installing a rom.
You didn't lose them... you removed them by flashing that ROM...

Buy root explorer, move the swype.apk from vibrant9 (or vibrant7,6,etc.) into your system/apps. Worked very well for me.
swype is the only one thats been giving me problems... others just need to be reinstalled.
can i get an explicit confirmation from those of you that says it works, that on r1, not the first hybrid (that worked for me), you were able to pull the swype apk from vibrant9 or whatever and get it working on r1?
EDIT: fix works. just pull and copy system/lib file as indicated below
Install the Evo Swype apk that's floating around. It works

Eugenes roms don't have the bloatwate i.e. mobi tv and others. If you want them, back them up using root explorer before flashing streamlined roms. But one of the reasons the roms have a snappier response is that the extra programs aren't bogging it down.

eugene gave the fix over in the Hybrid development thread. No other Swype 'fix' worked for me and his simple resolution has brought Swype back to my phone.

It's not working for me... I pushed both Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so to their respective folders, but when I select it as an input method it shows an error that says swype hasn't been configured for my device, and I can't switch languages... what should I check?

I want to switch dialer apk from one rom to another should just use take files and place them in rom from my computer using win zip then re flash the rom? is there an easier way... sometimes it doesn't take...
Take the dialers...
The original one located in system/app
Rename it from dialer.apk to dialer.apk.bak
Then put the other dialer in, system/app
Reboot see if it works fine.
If it doesn't you'll get fcs.
If it works then it works.
If it doesn't...
Go back to system/app
Delete the dialer.apk you got from another rom.
And the original you had remove.bak from it and reboot..
I suggest you only switch apk from vibrant roms, using others like... Htc dialer probably won't work and sometimes you may have to re flash rom.
P.s.
Use root explorer to do the renaming moving etc. it's a paid app, worth it!
If you want a free, use astro file manager

I have the one with the call recording feature but it is useless. Does your phone really record phone calls ?
The only thing mine does is create empty audio files. so I had to replace them (phone & DialerAct.) with the ones from an earlier Bionix ROM.

So anyway I can get asop mms apk to work with working mms? Cause I tried to with my LG thrill and failed with it. Nothing ever worked. I'd prefer the stock android messagsing app. But iI don't want to flash a Rom. I know I have to root. But I don't want to flash a rom just for that.
Also Is tthere anyway to change in the framework like where its like froyo everything is vannila like a theme I know it wouldn't be something simple but would be nice
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
You have to be rooted. The mms.apk is a system app so, to get the apk to install requires you to override.
Yes I know that!!!!! I have known this since I got my first android begenning of last year....... I was asking where to obtain one that will work completely with mms working as well

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 Cognition
I accomplished this a while ago but I can't remember how I did it! I attached the apk I used, but I don't know if I installed normally or if I deleted the old mms.apk and used this one? Here's the code for getting rid of the old apk and replacing it with this one, which is what I THINK I did.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/app/
cp mms.apk mms.apk.backup
exit
exit
adb push mms.apk /system/app/
Let me know if this works
EDIT: If you want the stock android messaging, with no themes or anything, look here for the apk:

The attached file is themed black, which I think is cool, but the stock is there if you need it.

Replace your existing LogsProvider.apk (in system/app) with the one I attached. It disables texts from appearing in the call log (you'll have to clear your log to start fresh, but they won't appear after that). I pulled it from GTG's ROM. It'll work fine. You can either use Root Explorer, adb, or I can make you a flashable zip.

I'm not sure. The base of where I got the file is based on stock, so I know it's compatible. What does your system/app folder look like? Are the files ending in .apk? Is there only one of each?

There's:

I'm using GoSMS so I just uninstalled the default messaging app via TiBU. Bam, no more texts in the call logs. I don't know why Samsung thought it would be a good idea to not allow us to filter texts from the logs.

There have been black gmails made for other phones and I had one installed on my samsung captivate but I haven't seen anything made for the Samsung Note that would convert gmail back to black, has anybody else tried any of the other black gmail apps to see if they work with the note?
Seraphim
Black apps come in the "The Blueprint" theme for the Seraphim ROM. I am pretty sure the Seraphim ROM itself has a built option to convert to black apps in their settings. I am currently running this theme and have black gmail, youtube, and some other apps

Good luck!
I already chose to go with Saurom over Saraphim as it seemed more stable. Is there an apk that would do this with a rom other than Saraphim?
I haven't seen an apk for it, but Seraphim does allow you to change just gmail. So maybe you can PM the Seraphim team and see if they can help you with just gmail?
The inverted apps for Seraphim do not work on gingerbread you would have to go ICS
