Hi i would like to know if I can replace touchwiz stock dialer and contacts apk with the one in the AOKP ICS, I was trying both and found out that in the contacts app in touchwiz there are low res contact pictures and on the AOKP no, I liked in overall the toucwiz ics more than google stock.
Can I just replace both contacts.apk and phone.apk with the ones on AOKP using root explorer?
nevermind I found out that they are different frameworks, I do really like almost everything about samsung ics rom, wish I could change that contact and phone apk.
You can use a different dialer from the market probably.
I am going to look for alternatives, cause 2 apps in my dock for calls isn't what I want.
go contacts ex works just great.
Get ex dialer and the pics theme. That's what I'm using with phone bricker and its a perfect fit.
thanks man. I had spent quite a bit of time trying to find out how to get the dialer to work after flashing inverted gapps.
I'm waiting to check out v2 of this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552852
It says in the changelog he already ported AOKP system apps incl. Contacts and Phone, but in the thread he says he needs to fix some things and it will actually be for v.2.
Id like to know the answer to thus as well

Trebuchet launcher works great on TW ROMs, so if we could import AOSP Phone, MMS, and Contacts, it would be perfect. Calendar works as does the camera apk, so those aren't necessary to modify or anything. I've tried for hours to get the other apps working but to no avail. If I find some way to get them working, I'll let you guys know, but I'm happy with CM9 and AOKP at the moment. I might make a nandroid backup and try again tonight, though.
exdialer with ics theme works pretty well
Its not the same i wasn't impressed with exdialer

Why don't u just rip them out of the rom that you're using and push them to /system?

I tried that (used TB to extract it from a Nandroid back up), but i continued to get the same error.
I finally bit the bullet and did an advanced Nandroid restore and just restored the "system"
That worked.
Also decided to try the EX dialer. Love the interface. Much nicer than the stock LPG one! Faster to get the job done.
Did u push them to /system, set permissions, then reboot?

Hey all, running Cleanrom ICS, after running a senseless rom I'm sort of hooked on the ICS stock messaging app. If I was to install it would it just work, or do I need to find someone who'd compile it with the Sense framework?
try and install it and see.. if it doesnt work then more things need to be done or its not possible( but i think it is )

Darn, sorry then
Yeah, I had seen that app, but it also has adverts in it. and I'm honestly unsure how to pack the stock ICS messenger into an APK. :/
bump.
Anyone know what I need to do to get the messaging APK?
im running the asop messaging app on joelz bamf 0.7 just fine but you can't use the sense messaging app at the same time so with root explorer I renamed the sense mms.apk to mms.bak in case i wanted to revert back to it then pasted the aosp messaging apk into the system app folder and installed from there and it works fine and loads contact photos it just doesn't intergrate with the sense lockscreen.
I've flashed around a bit with different roms and as much as I enjoy touchwiz, I love the stock mms app that comes in AOKP/ vanilla android ICS and was just wondering if anyone had made any type of universal port for touchwiz roms that work just as smoothly? Saw a couple on the play store but they were total rubbish and full of bugs. gonna stay on AOKP in the meantime. Just curious if anyone else shared the thought

I did see that but I read the actual ability to receive and download MMS is broken in it. And I'm not knocking the Samsung mms, I just personally prefer the overall UI and feel of the stock 4.0 one. Sammys is great though.

That's the problem. Even if you get a compatible full asop mms, you have to keep the default samsung app. If you delete it, it will cause problems and FCs.

Thank you phalanx, I hadn't realized serendipity incorporated aosp apps into touchwiz. That does further spark my curiosity as to if It's possible to pull the AOSP mms app as a stand alone apk that I could keep and install no matter what ROM I switch to since serendipity makes it seem possible if I just disable the stock mms app.

you could theme the Samsung mms.apk to look like the AOSP mms.apk if nothing else, if all you're looking for is the aesthetics of the AOSP mms.apk
Good point, jrod ! That's actually what i like about it is how it looks. I really kinda despise the stock Samsung sms app

How do you do this? I'm the same way as jrod. Love what TouchWiz offers aside from the messaging app. Favour the look of stock ICS one instead. (Because I like the pictures inside the message thread)

Simple way would be to change your pngs in your drawable-hdpi folder and change some xmls as well, not really all that difficult once you get started
Edit: sorry, completely forgot that Samsung's has text bubbles, so it would get a little trickier, I'll look into it
Edit: So, I've been real busy with school and stuff, so I haven't been able to look at the apk. Also, I don't have a Samsung Mms.apk since I like the AOSP feel of ICS better and have been on AOKP since it came out. So in trying to find a Samsung Mms.apk in our dev threads, I found that Serendipity 9 has an AOSP Mms.apk in it and is TW-based. It also has a lot of other AOSP apks in it, and it looks nice and runs pretty well. (flashed it to see everything first-hand). That might be an answer

So i was wondering if it is possible with a stock sense 4 rom (im on flex's stock with goods rom) i already installed a stock messaging app and froze the htc one with TB...so my main question is can the same be done with something like the Dialer app which is one i particularly want
please and thanks
also if it is possible can i get a link to the apk :fingers-crossed:
I know of someone who tried the phone.apk, but got constant FC. But, if you installed the contacts.apk with it, maybe. I know some other stuff works, like browser and keyboard (LatinIME.apk).
I downloaded CM9 to pull stuff from there (just until it gets a little more stable, then bye bye sense).

Thxs in advance :good:
Just download a stock ROM and pull the files out. Install them like you would normally.
thxs H, i really appreciate your work and your help, so i just need to port the apk from system/app? is there any other file to be ported? i'll give it a try after this, thank you

As he said, just install what you want, no need to port anything, all working roms here are stock based.
Though the weather widget might be some work since it depends on the sense launcher.

In your /system/app folder for all stock roms there is the ROSIE.apk(that is the launcher), and a ton of APKS with the word widget in them.. they are for the stock launcher. Put them in the /system/app folder on your senseless rom and they are back. Mind you, the widgets only work with rosie. As for the camera, if they just replaced it with the one from the sensation or one-x camera.apk you can go into the themes and apps section and find one titled HQ camera, flash it and it will put the stock one back(and it will add HQ mod for much higher picture quality).
You need to reboot after adding files back to the /system/app folder by the way.
alirght i will give it a try now! thank you! what i did before is unzip the rom, transfer the apks and zip it back and flash...gave me operation aborted! it was only the phone apk and camera, thats basically what i want the most.

If you unzipped it then you'll need to sign the zip file or simply replace the files using winrar or some other client without unzipping the file.

I could be wrong, I'd you are using cm9 or 10 and ring to install an apk made for sense it won't work because of framework . That's how it was with other phones.
Things might have changed but I haven't heard about it.
If It's any other Rom besides those two and miui attempt It's a sense based Rom and something you are doing is a bit off

What this guy said, it's a framework issue, the framework files have been highly modified, most likely he resigned all the system apps after modifying them, you can decompile and recompile the phone apk, resigning it to see if that solves it. Most likely having to resign all system apps.

Thanks, but I don't want to change roms. I used so many roms and there always was something that didn't work...I just want to use the original Rom...just not the dialer.
Chamelion is Samsung stock based, with aosp/aokp tweaks added. So everything 'stock' works.....

I DID look at it, and for my taste it's too much AOKP and not enough Sammy. What I really want is my rom with AOSP dialer. No other Tweaks etc...
Maybe I got the wrong, but I want to stay as much Sammy as possible. The last 2 years I was experimenting with hundreds of roms and kernels and at some point there was a glitch or something that annoyed the hell out of me.
So I just want to integrate the AOSP dialer into this rom
You *might* be lucky enough to find something like that in the 'themes and apps' section, but like it or not, the way to go is likely to be one of the 'hybrid' ROMs.........

Try xposed module and with the help of theme engine and use of theme apk i think simplex you should be able to get the aosp look

You can't have it, because the frameworks are different. And if you're not happy with the ports that people have put a lot of time & effort into, do your own port.
