[Q] AOSP Dialer + Contacts app on Stock ICS LPQ - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my question is, is it possible to have the AOSP dialer/Contacts app running on LPQ and if yes is there a link somewhere to a flashable file?
I'm sort of disappointed Sammy decided to keep on using low rez Contact pictures for incoming callers.

Should work, rip out the phone.apk from AOSP and replace using Rootexplorer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm a bit wary of doing that though with my lack of experience

is there any chance you can post the ripped phone.apk? would be really appreciated!

you should root your phone so you can replace application but by replacing phone.apk u will face crashesh and unusable phone.
flashing custom roms is the way.

And,lib dependancies..The camera.apk is polished with TouchWiz (i forgot,coz its nearly been half an year since i have used stick based roms) So,if you need to get it to work,you need to edit framework, and see about the libs files..

There are atleast 3 libs for stock camera

And the most important thing-- PROPRIETARY SAMSUNG vs open source CM7
It is not possible to reverse engineer such things as camera and radio.

[THEME/MOD] AOSP ICS Apps and Themes

First off This is a link to a thread by "geenyous" in the One X Forums and I take no credit for it.
Below is the link and basic details as listed in his OP. Follow the link for downloads and more details. It should work on any Sense 4.0 ROM
I will be testing it today and will update after I try everything out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1733025\
geenyous said:
The AROMA installer zip is flashable and includes choices of an AOSP ICS theme based on the villaintheme approach, an awesome bootanimation by mattmanwrx, an ICS themed htc keyboard by monx® as well as the following AOSP ICS apps:
- Email
- MMS
- Gallery
- Calendar
- Settings
- Contacts/Dialer

I have been using the inverted version of ICS apps from Travp624 and his post on rootzwiki for the Galaxy Nexus... I am using contacts and dialer, gmail, youtube, talk and the market theme etc and all work flawlessly. Just incase any one else wants to try. I didnt know if it was ok to post a link to them.

Is this safe to install on EVO or are people trying to see if it's safe or not?
I have been running them with zero issue for about a month or so. The ones I have tried appear safe.
Does mms work for anyone? I can't seem to send one with the mms.apk.
I also had to rename it to Message+2CRC.apk or whatever the HTC apk is called

It's not built for the Nexus, it is built for the Endeavor (One X). I am tweaking the zip, will post results.
EDIT: As expected, it doesn't work. Phone just bootloops. I will be working on a AOSP ICS conversion mod for our own device. I will post it when it's somewhat off the ground. For the record, the AOSP apps from that ZIP do work, just extract them and push them to system/app I tried contacts, phone and MMS so I can vouch for those. Only thing is (and this even happens with the MMS app ported to our phones) MMS messages don't work, only SMS.
EDIT 2: I was going to hold off on releasing this until it was a bit more completed, but seeing as more than three of us want a stock looking phone. Here you all go :

[Q] Any way to use CM10 dialer on a stock-based rom?

I use Omega rom, and I like it a lot. The only thing bothers me is the dialer app (phone.apk). I've been a CM user for a long time (galaxy mini) and I got used to the dialer, I really don't like any other dialer.
Is there any way to use CM dialer on stock-based rom?
Yep,
Modify the xml and smali code in phone.apk/famework.jar and services.jar - make it bypass the call for Samsung TW framework

Doesn't work like that I'm afraid
Samsung roms use Samsung framework...if you want aosp, it takes a lot of coding
You can replace the mms.apk directly though...
Oooo damn
Do you know any decent dialer app in this case? Nothing fancy, just phone+contacts in one app where you don't have to wait 2 seconds to switch between one another...

Try exdialer or go contact ex. These 2 are best after the default phone.apk

Hello
There are applications that you can put in system/app and remove phone.apk and contacts.apk?

[Q] AOSP apps on Sammy ROM?

Hey,
I just got back to Sammy after using CM10.1 for a while. CM is a great rom and has a lot of benefits but have some serious bugs and the battery life isn't so good.
Now I'm using Sammy but really miss the AOSP experience...
Is it possible to get the apps from 4.2 to Sammy?
I found the camera/gallery and the launcher which I just put in the system folder and used it normally.
I'm looking for Phone, Contacts and SMS apps.
If someone can help me find/install this on my rom I will be grateful!
Thanks in advance
i know i have those files and they work flawlessly on my foxhound rising 1.9 rom for s3, anyway i will have a look when i get back home and post them up for you mate

Contacts and dialer directly from CM won't work. They're too embedded in the framework.
good working AOSP SMS (dark-blue), Be carefull and make backup: the cwm will delete all your SMS's!!!

Does the SMS will work good on 4.1.2 EMA1 rom? because I saw in the zip that something is changed in the framework.

New ROM, missing a couple of APKs

Hi Guys
I've just installed a new super lite ROM which seems pretty much perfect EXCEPT i'm missing two features of Samsung's "bloat"ware that I really like:
Blocking Mode
Stay Awake
I've tried Googling and failed miserably to locate these so, can anyone tell me where i can get these please? (Yes I know there are alternatives but i'd like to stay with apps I am happy with and that work for me)

Of they are only apks & libs you could extract them from a stock Rom and put them into yours I guess.

What is the ROM based on?
Is it Sammy or an AOKP based ROM?
If it's Samsung Based, I could take a Titanium Backup of it and send it across to you.

Damn.... why is it the "perfect" ROM never exists. I've been flashing since windows 6.0 and NEVER found a ROM that's 100%
Guess I'll have to look for market place alternatives then.
Thanks for your help!

There is no single perfect rom for everyone.. Everyone is different and has different needs or "cravings"
Thats also why there's so many custom roms out there, to fit your needs (sometimes) If you cant find one, go with stock or learn to make your own.
