Just curious if it was possible to take the dialer, contacts, and MMS apks from a custom ROM and replace the stock ones. I'm just trying to get a new theme on the stock apps.
I know I can just download a messaging app or a dialer app, but I want to try and use stock. It has all the functionality I need, save the theming.
Yeah just have to make sure its a TW ROM. I'm in the same boat as you. Like stock n take certain things out of roms n add to mine

I've never owned a Samsung phone, curious if TW can be themed, e.g. just replacing icon sets, make it darker etc.
Yeah it can be.. You must be rooted though

by using UOT kitchen by uploading system file and u need root
Everything can be themed!
it can be themed but not with a "standard" device
many people don't know what "root" means...
i don't understand why sammy doesn't allow to customize TW
must be allowed to standar users to have themes in touchwiz,like sense 4.0 you have many options..
Yes tw can be themed

Sure can. Its called CM9

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

Not that I know of. But I'm sure you can find one from playstore which has similar layout....i can't guarantee you the fluidity, but it may look like the one on galaxy s3 without any stock functions added.

I downloaded handcent from the playstore YEARS ago and have never wanted, nor needed to change applications. It's VERY customizable in every way shape and form.
How about the stock Rogers 4.1.2 JB version? Here is a deodexed version.
+1 on Handcent mentioned above.

I have a couple of mms apk's that are completely functional, and of course, they're darker themed although not as pitch black and white as I'd like
what are you trying to install it into?
the ones I have are for ics and 4.1.2 and each are touchwiz

Is there a way to get an AOSP Dialer and Contacts apk onto a Sammy Rom? Using a rooted 4.1.2.
Or are there any alternatives to the original apks?

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.....
and with respect, if you'd checked it out rather than dismissing it out of hand, you'd have known that.........

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.........
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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.

try swipe dialer from the market. Very aosp like dialer and very fast too
Try this one. I installed it in XWMS3 NeatROM Lite v5.9 Aroma (4.1.2) and it's working good. I think it's multi DPI because i used it with 198,182 DPI and no problems so far.
