Is it possible to replace the HTC dialer and the contacts app with the stock android one?
I like everything about the Sense based roms except the dialer and contacts app. My biggest problem is the lack of "favorites" section. I also find it takes fewer presses to call someone on the stock dialer.
I tried removing HTC dialer and contacts and pushing wysie's contacts by adb, with no success on VillainRom 3.3. It removed the HTC ones but Eris dump does not accept stock contacts.apk. I downloaded Dialer One from market, which is somewhat closer to stock app.

The awesome Sense text selection seems to work in some third party apps (such as Handcent SMS), so is there a way someone can get it working in the GMail app?
I know the method that Google has implemented is due to be changed in Gingerbread, but by all accounts it's still not as good/unified as HTC's Sense method.
No not possible unless someone reverse engineers it. Either flash a Sense ROM or wait for Gingerbread.
I am on a Sense rom - and the Sense text selection works in Handcent, a third party app.
I guess I don't understand why it can work there, but it can't do so in ALL third party apps, ie where I want it in GMail?
hi!
I'm currently using Revolution, and tried out CM7 for a bit.
The only thing that bothers me about CM7 are the following;
No people widget, the dialer is not too good (no T9 to search for people).
Other than that, I can't no reason that Revolution is better than CM7.
What I'm asking is, are there Widgets that can replace the sense's people widget, and dialer so that I can search quicker for the person I want to call?
Thanks!
There are widgets on the Market that can replace nearly everything from Sense.
Concerning dialer, that's the only thing keeping me on Sense. There simply isn't a perfect dialer out there that suits my needs. They either: cannot search accented characters, cannot search spaces, cannot search in the middle of a name, cannot search with numbers and names at the same time, ugly as hell, slow as hell, have some weird bugs that bother me. Simply put: I tried each and every one of them out there and ALL of them have one or more of issues listed. HTC Dialer is far from perfect, but at least its issues are balanced out.
Can you point me to the right direction regarding the widgets from market? So far I've not found one that is good enough for me =(

if your on cm7, download launcher pro from the market and buy the plus pakage. it comes with calendar, sms, twitter, facebook gmail scrolling widgets thats resemble sense's widgets. you can even find themed versions in the android general thread
Hi everyone
Installed BlackIce just now. My first AOSP ROM and its not half bad to be honest
However I am having this problem which I never had on Sense ROM's. In the dialer when I go to the contacts tab there are some duplicate contacts. It's because the Facebook profile of those people doesnt link to the Google Contact. They always used to merge into one contact in Sense ROM's.
I have the Facebook app set to Sync All like I did in Sense ROM's. No settings have been changed.
How can I fix this?
You will have to go into your individual contacts, press edit, press menu, and select join. That will allow you to manually link your contacts from Sim card, Facebook, twitter google etc. You will have to do it for each one.
It's not quite as easy as sense but it will take care of the duplicates.

For batch merging, go into People application, go into setting and choose remove duplicate. It will merge any of the contacts with exact same name.
For the Touchwiz framework, the contact, Dailer, and messaging system I find are a lot more straight forward. Especially for contacts, left swipe to message, right to call on contact row.
I know that the Samsung Stock Apps require Touchwiz, and I tried any possiblilty to try and get them working on the JB 4.3 with CM 10.2 (CM being my favorite for being easy to use and giving me the stuff I want).
So I thought: Why not modify the Samsung Stock Contacts Contact.apk and Dailer and remove the Touchwix framework dependency so it can work on Trebuchet thus, finally work on AOSP custom firmware like AOKP or CM. I would try to research such a thing but It would take me a while to learn anything about coding....The APK coding has already been done with samsungs Contact.apk, I would assume it would be easy to change but then again I don't know.
.
Can such a thing be done to bring back the apps, or has a thing already been done? With two days of research and just snooping around I decide to resort to this. I simply want the simple, darker desingn of the Contact and left and right swipe of contacts to message or call back.
Can't be done from everything ive been told...to many important dependencies

Anyone got the Stock Lollipop dialer and contacts working with the 551 that come with Nexus devices or CM?
I have ripped GoodleDialler and GoogleContacts apk from my old Galaxy S4 Google edition rom and made a flashable zip.
Flashed it in recovery and than froze default Asus Dialler.
Seems to be working, but its bit weird.
When you open dialler it's minimized (you can see strange recent calls log screen). At the bottom there are minimised Speed Dial , Recent and Contact Tabs. I need to swipe up to see them
Also when searching contacts the Google id search thingy is not working (like you type pizza and it should find closes pizzas places based on your location...)
And contacts photos are not right - first 30% of photo is ok than its distorted.
I have received and made phone calls fine.
