So on my old nexus 5 (a custom ROM not sure of the name) and my stock s5 there was a feature that would only render the caller ID and answer button in a small window while you were using the phone. Is it possible to get this on my m8 with a Google expierence ROM.

Hello,
I was wondering if a higher res caller id is possible for galaxy s2.
im talking HTC Sense like caller id, with normal resolution, not the really small, crappy one that is being fetched from facebook using accout joining.
I dont want to use a third party app for that (fullscreen caller id).
Is this possible using a custom rom? has anybody looked into this? thanks!
I know about the Full Screen Caller app but I want to replace the black T-Mobile screen with the stock dialler screen found on Froyo 2.2 and other roms, the one with the grey background and android robot.
My phone is rooted.
I have no idea what the T-Mobile caller screen looks like, but assuming you want the stock Android Caller/Calling screen, the one with a black background with the top of the screen colored in a vivid green (I'm not able to post any outside links yet, so google for "stock android caller screen", a pic of a Nexus One receiving a call from a Barry Johnson guy should be what you want), you could try to modify framework-res.apk, but I'm not sure if there are any files regarding the Dialer app there, although it is what defines most of the GUI, BlurDialer.apk, that's the full Dialer app, and it must include the app's GUI. Before I flashed the Alien Theme (for the Alien ROM) I restored the stock Dialer app from the Gingerbread Atrix ROM (the official one), it was pretty easy, I simply replaced the BlurDialer.apk in the .zip file I was to flash via CWM with the stock one I extracted from the Alien ROM itself without the theme, which is pretty much a faster stock Gingerbread ROM without any graphical mods done to it (except for the Camera app from the Droid 3).
Anyway, I'm not sure if you can flash stuff via CWM with a locked bootloader, and I couldn't be since the first I did with my Atrix, after rooting it, was unlocking its bootloader. It would be helpful if you posted some screenshots of waht you have, what you want though...
PS.: What do you mean by T-Mobile Caller Screen, the US Atrix is only sold through AT&T...
When i install a custom rom, i expect that it includes all the features of Stock rom and has additional features.
But i realized that some of the key features of stock rom are not included in custom roms.
For example Stock Camera App has a lot of cool features like "Face Detection" and "Video Stabilize". But most of the roms has Camera ICS and it has not these features(in pro version it says it has video stabilize but i couldn't see it).
Also Stock Phone application is perfect for me because it has an opiton like slide right and left for messaging and phone calling. But in custom rom you need more steps to call or message.
So my first question is...
Is there any custom rom that has ability to use stock camera application and stock phone application ? Also i wonders is this possible or not ?(or any other stock application)
My second question is about an Iphone feature.We are sure that our sgs2 has a lot more features then iphone. But when i use iphone(yes i have one sorry for this) i see that contacts and messaging applications open fast as lightning. Probably the phone and messaging applications are always in memory on iphone even at startup!.
On SGS2 when i open conctacs application, even if i press home button after a while (after one hour) when i edit contacts it waits about 2-5 seconds to open it.(i have more than 1000 contacts)
Is there a way to keep contacts app and messaging app always in memory ?(or it may be any other application too)
Thanks
I think that WanamLite would be great for your taste as it's based on stock Samsung ICS Firmware.
If you can live without that Sammy's phone app, then maybe you should try MIUI or it's derivates( WIUI, RGUI, cMIUI). It has stock camera app. And the rom itself is beautiful, fast and stable.

Essentially all phones I've used I've been using the 3 by 3 keypad, I know exactly where all the keys are and I can type much faster with it. I have found that since I've updated my phone from foxhound build, there seem to be no new builds that have the old fashion keypad. I don't know if it's just called the samsung keypad or what but I really prefer the old style I can actually type properly without having to focus too intently. That and my thumbs are wide and usually hit the wrong keys. Could someone point me to the right ROM or addition to be able to add to my phone. Currently using SuperNexus

I am searching a PHONE (in call app) alternative (one you see during a call) , I really liked Samsung phone but can't find even one replacement (there are ones only for the contacts and dialer).
I wish there was a Samsung look alike phone for AOSP.
I am with ParanoidAndroid 3.15 ROM on i9100.
Also I miss the green highlight on the notification bar during a call.
If someone know how to write such an phone.apk app, I will pay him nicely.
NOTE : I don't want dialers like eXdialer etc. , I just want the in-call app.
