Is there anyway to install the stock apps so that the amaze looks and feels like stock android? Preferably without flashing a custom ROM or rooting, but if it that's the only way please let me know too.
Specifically:
dialer, contacts, messaging, calculator, camera, gallery, lock-screen, mail, clock
I replaced the keyboard with swift, and launcher with Apex to make it look more like android already.
Thanks

Good question, except all I want is the stock email app with exchange capabilities.

keyboard - Swiftkey
launcher - Nova
dialer - ex dialer
contacts - ex dialer
messaging - anything is better.. Go/handset.. Look in apps section for 4.2
calculator - same diff
camera - factory is best
gallery - Beh... Same diff
lock-screen - widget locker
mail - aqua mail / mail droid
clock - Beh same diff... Use uccw if you only care for looks of the widget
I like circle alarm.
I also like
elixir2 for awesome widgets
Lmt launcher for pie control
AOSP is over rated in my opinion.. Lots of the apps are hamstrung or only partially featured.
A rom is best.. Jelly beans almost ready via cm10.1 and joseglaire 's rom.
But neither are a factory grade rom.. YET.
I daily drive tmobile ics.. Factory kernel.. I can't have any functionality missing or acting skiddish.

It it possible to use launcher specific widgets (Facebook, Twitter, Calendar Widgets of GoLauncher/Launcher Pro) on another launcher (Im using default MIUI). Or does anyone know of a similar calendar widget to that of LauncherPro? (I know of Pure Grid Calendar but it looks ugly)
Thanks
I was wondering if anybody would like to make a theme for the JellyBean/ICS Stock messaging app, for me( all of android community), that looks like this: http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/20/facebook-revamps-messenger-for-android-with-friendlier-chats/ (left picture)
Hello,
With the recent ICS update to XPU, I finally got to root my device without unlocking bootloader and I removed most of the Sony custom apps and bloat.
I use an alternative launcher, dialer, AOSP messaging apps, etc. I've also disabled the NXT lock screen and lots of other crap.
Now what I am trying to find out (with no success) is if it is possible to completely disable the NXT themes (Silk/Amethyst/etc) to revert the UI to a clean AOSP Holo look? I don't want a theme, but actual non-skinned Holo (i.e. holo action bar, holo background, holo toggle buttons, etc).
I would like to hear any information on this topic from those who have dabbled in modding/themes.
Thanks =)
You can Uninstall the themes but not quite sure if that would give you the Holo look. Bdw where did you get the AOSP messaging and contacts app. I've been searching but none of them worked for me.

I used this Mms.apk. There is a small bug for me — if you tap on the user pic the contact info does not come up.
I use exDialer for contacts/dialer, but you can't remove/disable the stock Phonebook.apk, as exDialer uses it to edit contacts.
Ok so the s planner widget is great, but it doesnt work on Nova launcher, what apps could make a good replacement for it for non tw launchers?

Even with the stock launcher I prefer the Pure Grid Calendar widget. Very customizable, themable, but mostly I like when you touch a day, it shows the appointments as a list rather than the timetable. So everything is visible immediately rather than scrolling down to later in the day.
Hi
I am on Yoda ICS v8 and I want to try a de sensed version of it.
Until now, my biggest argument for sense is that it merges my contacts from different sources, such as google, touchdown, facebook and linkedIn
Is either nova or apex having that possibility also?
Nova and apex are only launchers means they are only home screens and app drawer. Launchers can't change the looks and behaviour of anything else (for example the people app). While Sense is a full user interface that includes not only launcher (home screens and app drawer) but it is in almost every part of the OS including notification drawer, settings, popup windows, gallery and every app that have the similar looks ( mostly tabs at bottom or the gry colored buttons and bars ) . Even if you replace or remove the sense launcher every sense app except widgets should work. The people app or any other app ( except widgets)has nothing to do with sense launcher but they have everything to do with the sense framework .You can just install nova or apex on your current Rom and it well not affect anything except homescreen and app drawer. And most de sensed roms comes with all sense functionality. But if the rom you are about to flash does not contain the sense people app then automatic contact merging will not work. But if that rom contains enough sense then pushing the stock people app and its dependencies to system should work.
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.
try contracts+
