Okay I am having a really hard time trying to figure out how to change the dialer from sense to aosp. I heard that joelz made a flash able zip back in the day but I can't find it. I thought it would be as easy as swapping a few apk's in system/app but apparently that's not the case. Can anyone help? Running slimrom btw.

I'm not an expert but I dont think its possible because of sense and the framework resources. Or you'll have to do a lot more than just swapping a few apk's.

That's what I'm using but it still screams sense. I want something similar to the dialer in cyanogenmod or basic ics if possible. I like that minimalistic appearance. Zhp did help a lot though. Thanks!

While personally not a fan of the AOSP dialer, I'm a huge fan of the AOKP dialer (I also think the same one is used in CM9). It's simple, elegant, and has T9 searching built in.
The Sense one is laggy, bulky, and slow.

That may actually be what I'm referring to. My last phone was running cm9. Oops
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I should have included this in the post so my apologies, but I don't think it's possible. Even if you replaced the APK with the stock or CM9 dialer, I think it would crash. HTC has heavily modified their Android source and framework so the HTC Dialer is deeply embedded in the ROM and can't be replaced.
With that said, you can get an APK from the market that will replace the dialer, but it's not a true dialer. It basically acts like a dialer then sends the dial commands through the phone's stock dialer. They're finnicky at best, usable at worst.
Just my opinion though, I may have some of the details wrong as I'm not a dev.
The only 2 things I wish I had when I was on Cyanogen was the Sense Dialer and Camera app...both are superior to AOSP (at least at that time).
Sense Dialer having the smart search is a godsend.

Newer Cyanogen (7.2 and up) has a modified AOSP dialer that integrates smart search. Very slick.

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.

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

I'm just suggesting because I like sense 5 but I do miss the sense 4+ widgets they removed and the carousel home screen transitions. Also being able to move your home screens around to a different spot. Everything else I like is from sense 5. If maybe someone could port those over or make a sense 4+/5 hybrid. Just a suggestion.

given the massive changes to sense, it would be a lot of work to try and integrate sense5 features into a stock rom or vice versa
given the dependency changes as well (fusion, assets, rosie/prism, etc) you would be asking for issues
not to say its impossible...but i dont see the amount of time needed and the probability of it not even panning out really being worth a dev's time....then again, some people seem to have 100 hours a week to work on stuff, so who knows
Unless you wanted to pay a lot for a developer to do this, it's doubtful. You could always download both versions and make your own hybrid. Granted this would be simple things such as icons and such (already available to download on Viper DNA) , unless you know how to code.

thats not a hybrid rom...thats a sense 4+ rom that has sense5 icons/images/fonts etc
a true *hybrid* would mix the frameworks/apks/widgets and so on...not just mimic the look
i remember the days of the hybrid sense 2/3 roms on the OG Inc...good times.
That ROM would probably take up a lot of system space since they call on different system commands..
I like this idea a lot, although i think the amount of work makes it not really worth the time someone would have to spend on it. There are some things I miss about sense 5. For example, why did they remove all the customizability? No skins? I feel like they're kind of pulling an apple on us. Regardless, I love sense 5. I keep switching back and forth though because I do miss 4+ sometimes.

The closest you can get to aosp and still have the TouchWiz camera is on of the Google edition roms. Or you can try the touch wiz eclipse 2.0 rom. Looks enough like AOSP that I have my fix.

That's what I figured... which stinks. I really dig Halo and light weight in the AOSP ROMs, just outweighed by the TW camera.
Thanks for the recommendations... I may just try those out.
I'm assuming I'm not alone here, as I have seen many people across the forums saying that they have either already gone to, or are thinking of flashing an AOSP ROM, and are worried about losing all of those Samsung Goodies (Like hover, air gestures, eye control, TW Camera, etc.) They generally also seem to want the customizability of a custom rom, as well. So, let's discuss how people have gone about getting that JB feel on a TW ROM.
The way I currently have this set up is with the Hyperdrive 5.7 ROM as a base. With just that, you get a smoother, faster, and enormously feature-packed TW ROM. The customization you can accomplish with this ROM is very impressive, especially considering it is TouchWiz. On top of this, I'm running - yep, you guessed it - Nova Launcher.
Nova Launcher is, in my opinion, the obvious choice for getting stock JB feel on any device. Nova allows the important customizations made to Hyperdrive to continue working, while adding the JB feel right on top. I've also run the script from within Hyperdrive to enable the Nexus 4 Softkeys, and I've shut off the lights on the capacitive keys on the device itself. This makes them completely invisible, so the device looks much more like a Nexus device, if you like that sort of thing.
What do you guys think? What other options are out there? I'm looking to give some insight to users who may want to get this type of feel on their S4, while also getting some feedback or better/different ways of achieving this. Good luck, and happy theming!
looks good just get rid of the nav bar

Yeah. So the dialer and incoming calls are both part of the TW base. Nova launcher is just that; a home/launcher replacement. Just as you said. Though I am sure there are theming options for these things through third party methods, since many people dislike TW appearances.

I fully understood the point of the thread which is why I suggested Eclipse ROM. It's Touchwiz based and includes all the Touchwiz gimmicks as well as the TW camera. It's most certainly NOT an AOSP ROM as you seem to think it is. It's just a very well themed Touchwiz ROM.

I've also run the script from within Hyperdrive to enable the Nexus 4 Softkeys, and I've shut off the lights on the capacitive keys on the device itself. This makes them completely invisible, so the device looks much more like a Nexus device, if you like that sort of thing.
What do you guys think? What other options are out there? I'm looking to give some insight to users who may want to get this type of feel on their S4, while also getting some feedback or better/different ways of achieving this. Good luck, and happy theming!

The main portion of it is DashClock. I like the accuweather service more than Yahoo though, so I used overlapping widgets in Nova Launcher. The weather widget on top of Dashclock is a 1x1 weather from Beautiful Widgets.

this isnt really a [MOD] or a [GUIDE] this is more or less someones review of a ROM and a couple quick customizations in an app that's well known.... very misleading post

I am no longer running this ROM, but it is an included script with Hyperdrive. If you go to sbreen's included script installer, it was somewhere in a media folder and you just run it from there. He posted the instructions on the first page of the Hyperdrive thread somewhere.
