I would love that someone would make Sammy GB dialer to ics and the Sammy GB lock screen.
I can't go to ics rom because of those. Always returning to villainrom.
Could someone look at these?

Has anyone done this yet? I as well would like to have the GB tabs back for my ICS dialer and contacts.
Hello.
I like a lot the AOSP locker and dialer. I've found a Jelly Bean like locker, called Holo Locker, that works fine.
I'm having more troubles to find the AOSP dialer.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the ICS Launcher (by Syndicate Apps) and the ICS theme (by Sonny Sekhon). Are they both the same thing aesthetically or is one more accurate? I've never seen ICS so I don't know how to tell?
the ics launcher you mention is a port of the launcher for use on gb and lower has the looks and almost acts like stock ics (but buggy ), a theme changes the appearance of the launcher eg adw launcher , changes the looks of the apps , but does not act like the launcher eg widget in drawer etc ...
the launcher you mention and the theme are two different items , themes are more for getting the appearance opposed to the functionality of ics launcher , the launcher is almost fully like ics ,so maybe ure better of flashing a ics rom oppsed to using the launcher or theme the two are pretty mediocre opposed to the real thing in my opinion , i have a ics rom on my phone runs ok ...
Ok. Thanks. It's good advice to get a ROM but unfortunately none of them for my phone have a working camera and that's crucial to me. I'll stick with the launcher.
Hi All,
I am currently running CM9. But, am facing a few issues. So, was thinking of going back to stock ROM for a while. I love the AOSP look and love the CM9 dialer.
Almost all the stock based themed ROM's are having a themed stock dialer.
[ which doesn't even have contacts list inside, it is very annoying !! ]..
Some ROM's, I see are having AOSP dialler, but it doesn't have the CM9 functionalities, in particular Smart T9 dialler.
In addition, the stock call animation is present. [v.v.ugly].
The AOSP / CM9 call animation is so much better.
Sorry, if this feels as if I am hating on touchwiz, but take this as my opinion and not a fact. [ I love some touchwiz features, which I am not getting in CM9].
I know that earlier the Resurrection ROM was having CM9 dialer, but westcrip seems to have moved on to AOKP ..
So, please help me find out any ICS themed stock ROM, with CM9 dialer like functionality.
this is not a ROM suggestion but...
You can try an app called exDialer and download the ICS theme for it. It looks a lot like the CM9 dialer and has the T9 dialer.

Thanks for the suggestion. But, I prefer using the stock one instead of third party applications. [ Have seen that the stock application , keeps on using the memory, under the system application, and I understand that it is a bigger problem on my older phone, SGS, which had .v.little memory. ]
But still would prefer the stock.
Hello
I'm a big fan of Samsungs Hardware but never liked touchwiz. The hings that annoy me most are the launcher and the Email(Exchange) App.
Is there a way to use the Vanilla ICS pendants without switching completely to cyanogen (when it once will be available)? I would like too keep the few nice add ons by Samsung.
Thx for hints
You could try an alternative ICS launcher such as Nova https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en. Hope that helps some.
An alternative launcher will definitely get you away from much of the touchwiz experience but you will still be stuck with Samsung's email, calendar, etc apps. Take a look in the SGS3 Themes and Apps section. I believe someone there has created a flashable zip to replace the Samsung stock apps with the ICS ones.
Thanks both of you. Nova does the trick for now.
I also flashed the ICS Email but it did not want to work. Guess I'll wait for CM then.
cheers
Would it be possible to have a few of TouchWiz's features, such as S-Beam, the Motion Gestures, the Camera App, the Pop-up player, etc but running on stock Android?
I like the features TouchWiz has, but I prefer the look and performance of stock Android.
Would it be possible to either theme the entire UI to make it look like stock Jelly Bean, while keeping the TouchWiz features?
I'm currently on CM10. I've already seen various threads on whether it is possible to port TouchWiz features on CM10.
I'm willing to remain on stock Samsung Jelly Bean, but I want the appearance of the phone to look similar to that of pure android.
I'm using Nova Launcher to theme my homescreen, and various widgets, however, if you are on TouchWiz when you open settings or the notification bar, the UI is not very attractive, and it's not very functional either - stock Jelly bean is far better in that respect, but TouchWiz's few killer features are absolutely amazing!
Thanks!
You can't have your cake and eat it too
So, is that a no? Because I'd love the same thing. The look of JB Vanilla but with some of the Samsung apps like S Planner and S Memo which I think are fantastic. Would love to get those .apks to use on another ROM.
Yeah, doesn't seem like it's possible!
Although sidthegreatest's point was good.
I'm going to try and set up a dual boot setup instead - with stock TouchWiz operating as my secondary ROM, and CyanogenMod10 running as primary.
Already have Siyah kernel installed!
Hey,
Is there anyway to get plain vanilla ICS or JB or 4.3 (damn!!) dialer/contact apk to use on my s3?
I think TouchWiz really messed up with the contacts and dialer, I'm not so angst against other this much. But these are the basics of a phone.
I've tried exDialer it's better but still nowhere on the leaguse og Nexus 4.
Thanks guys
