I really really want the CM messaging app on my G2. I know that I can't uninstall or replace the stock one, but is there a way to add in the one from CM and just use it instead?
Same here, I also wouldn't mind the CM browser as well.
It would appear that we can't remove or replace system apps, and we can't install it as an "update" either because the certs don't match. I think the only way to deal with this is to compile your own Browser.apk with a completely different package name so Android doesn't see a conflict.
along those lines would it be possible to somehow get the messaging.apk from MIUI to work on the G2?

Where is RenderFX located at in the Cyanogen 6 folder? I would like to rip it out of the rom and install it. I assume its included in Settings.apk but not sure about how to install that properly. And even if I managed to install the Settings.apk from it would I lose my 4G widget??? Can someone shed some light on the subject? Thanks,
Sorry not sure. But what does RenderFX do?

Its the program that changes the sceen color for night viewing etc. Its a widget included in the rom. Just not sure where its located in the .zip.
I don't claim to know anything, but I'm fairly sure that renderfx is unique to CM and/or the CM kernel, so it wouldn't work on any other rom even if you could install it
As you know, in galaxy s when we install 4-5 page programs , lags is appear
The touchwiz launcher is lagy too and when we Turn pages the lags is apear
I decompile touchwiz.apk and i explore folders and in res folder i saw few folders that named xxxx-xxxx-1024x600 and i guess this names means 1024x600 pixel like galaxy tab and samsung create a touchwiz that could be use in galaxy s and galaxy tab!
I decided to deleted that folders had a 1024x600 in the last of name and i compile apk and push it to galaxy and i see that is work lagless and very fast and smooth
I made an update.zip of this modified touchwiz and upload in attachment
Guys you can test it and leave Comments on this topic
I forget something
I change the homescreen_menu_shortcut_bg.png with glass one and you can see in pic
What firmware versions does this work on?
Does it overwrite the default TouchWiz?
Is it compatible with any Lagfixes?
this launcher is last version of touchwiz that used in jpm/jp6 roms and must work on any version of roms
yes , this launcher is compatible with any lagfixes
I am sorry, what has been changed from default?
Lowered the resolution or something?
i think you should work with the guy that did the TW mod script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792817
together you can hack tw and make it work better
Just flashed it via CWM on Voodoo-Doctor-Edition-JP6 and seems to be lagless flipping between pages. G8 job!
Amazing!!!!!!!!
It works!!!!!! Great Work!!!! This launcher is more fast, even using various widgets and an animated desktop. Thanks!!!!

No, based on what he wrote, he deleted icons and textures for use on Galaxy Tab. I wonder if it really does make it faster, though.
No effect here. Still laggy as hell.
EDIT: maybe it's because I'm using a lagfix? I have 5 pages of apps. Not that much if you ask me :S
Can you guys still uninstall apps from the drawer?
Last time I replaced TWlauncher I had lost this ability.
interesting.....
I recommend editing the LauncherConfig.java class to enable the fly in effect when opening the app menu, pretty nice.

My attachement contains a classes.dex which has the ability to uninstall (non system) apps from homescreen + fly in effect.
Remove .apk and .odex first, then push this to system. I always switch to an other launcher before doing that..
@Spike_M
When I delete all folders with 1024*600 in the name, apktool gives some errors..
On reboot touchwiz doesn't load - it gives me a fc error: The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.
How do I go back to the original touchwiz?

Do you have adb enabled? Otherwise you have a problem..
I have adb installed, but my pc won't detect the phone when plugged in via usb.
It seems like the only solution is to flash another update.zip via recovery. An update.zip of the original touchwiz should work, if someone would be kind enough to put one together. I wouldn't know where to start...
Edit: or is there a way to install an apk via the recovery menu? Long shot, I know. I was thinking installing LauncherPro would bypass the fubar'd tw.
i use modified launcher and its work like a charm
for those guys want to get back original touchwiz
1- download update.zip in attachment and copy it to your internal memory
2- instal it from recovery 2e or cwm recovery

Thanks but I can't access the internal memory of my phone. Now what?
Tw launcher is definately faster now. Try pinch to zoom and see! It even made me consider reverting from launcher pro.. Great fix, thanks!
its not 100% perfect but youre as close as ive ever seen anyone come so far!
damn nice fix!
I think I noticed an small improvement with that fix: 55apps installed (6 pages in app drawer), but there is still some lag...
By the way I'm really glad that there is people trying to improve the performance of TW. I really like TW but the app drawer is laggy I'm still using froyo stock launcher...

I have tried file explorer from miui and it doesn't work, good luck anyway. report if you find a way
1. Download MIUI.
2. Download CM7.
3. Extract app from MIUI.
4. Replace app in CM7 with it.
5. Wipe Dalvik-cache.
6. Flash customized CM7.

Wont work!
try go sms instead! nice too!

It will not work.
Part of the reason is due to dependencies.
In other words, The messaging apk requires portions of code (and strings) located in other apks (such as contacts.apk and framework-res.apk). But even then, those apks require code from other apks, and so forth.
This cycle continues until pretty much all core APKs are MIUI APKs. And by that time, you are already using MIUI.
And this assumes that only APK dependencies are required - not specific system file changes.
Even if one string/piece of code is incorrectly declared, the entire APK may FC.
try Go SMS..
behave almost like MIUI msg, including the theme
does the latest gosms have the same slide down animations from MIUI instead of a popup?
Those are miui framework features.

Basically this plus more.
Hi this must be a noob question, but i need to know how to replace the default dialer .apk file and also the contacts .apk file to something else (exDialer and exContacts) in the ROM itself.
Try extracting the apks from the stock ROM and replace it. Report back.
Sent from a Time Lord, using his TARDIS.
Nope it didn't seem to work!
It said installation failed.
Just follow these steps...there is a chance they might not work but you are free to try it
1.Install the dialer app(dont move it to sd card)
2.Use a file manager app with root permissions enabled(eg- ES File Explorer) and go to the "phone memory" then "data/app" copy the app's apk to the sd card
3.Now uninstall the app ....the install was for getting the apk file
4.Rename the backed up apk as "Phone.apk" (case-sensitive)
5.Backup your CM7 dialer by going into phone memory "system/app"....it will be named "Phone.apk".....back it up somewhere in the SD card
6.Now just take the apk of the dialer you wanted and copy it in phone memory "system/app"
7.Finally change the permissions of the apk as follows
--->In ES File Explorer,after moving your desired dialer's apk,long press for menu
--->Then select Properties
--->In the properties window there will be a button labelled "Change" just beside permissions
--->Then Select the 1st two check boxes in User,1st in group and 1st in other and press ok
8.Reboot the phone and pray to God it works
9.To revert back,just put the original "Phone.apk" in "system/app" and reboot

What happens?

You're not supposed to remove the default dialler app. It's a part of the system framework and the results when you do try to remove it will be severe. I believe that the phone aspect of Android is integrated into the default dialer apk (Both in sense and in AOSP).
In any case, there is no need to remove the dialler apk.You just install an alternate dialler and set that as default. It's works as if the original dialler was never there.
You cannot bring over the sense dialler though since that depends on the entire sense framework.
Just install exDialer and set it as default.
You can push it to /system/app if you would like. Leave the original one as it though.

As soon as I replace the Phone.apk, it force closes to the homescreen. After I try restarting the device, it refuses to get past the Boot Screen Animation.

So you're saying there is no way I can natively replace the dialer to the exDialer in the Rom itself?
FYI: The Rom concerned here is HCMIUI 3.2 by Henry. Brilliant Rom otherwise!
Exactly, the default dialler cannot be replaced except perhaps by a full replacement say from the original cm7 rom or a themed version of your current dialler. You can only add a secondary dialler which will work in addition to the original one.
Check out the apk for the original Phone.apk
You'll find the components of the in-call screen.
cm7 themes for example retheme the framework which applies some modifications to the original in call screen.

^ How do i do that? Actually this is exactly what i want to do, a full replacement!
You can probably take the Phone.apk and replace your current one with (Make sure you set the permissions to 644) but it really won't make much of a difference. Instead, just install the cm7 Theme Chooser and change your theme. HC MIUI is basically a themed cm7 rom with a MIUI flavor, MIUI apps and stellar animation effects!
Would love to get those on other ROMS!
There's actually a fuller MIUI (gb) but it's only on beta (There are some usability issues in which the colours in some apps are FUBAR) and the MIUI 4 (ics) is only on alpha... On my phone, the Phone crashed on making a calling the MIUI 4...
Well i guess this is not possible the way i thought i would!
maybe someone can make a patch or something that will do this( maybe for other default apps also) just a thought?!

How do i set exDialer as default dialer. I really want to set it as default one.
Thanks
I have tried pulling the APK out of the rom zip and installing it, but the installation fails. I have also tried manually putting the apk in my apps folder, also does not work.
Any suggestions? I love the extension separator option and different colors for the background... but I prefer to use Danvd's 4.4.2 GE build.

"Well slims version is a mix from original dashclock + the one which was posted here by syned + our additions lol. Whatever it is not installable due that we have trds and it will only work on ROMs which support that. The hell I did not have time till now to push our changes to Roman. Will try to do it finally next week so roman can decide what he want or not. We tried to keep his style in "our" dashclock."
