Is it possible? I just take the apk and install it as a standalone app?

I don't think this would work as it may require some sense components.
I would prefer to use the HTC Dialer myself instead of Gingerbread's default.
You should check out Go Dialer and Go Contacts. They are the closest apps I have found to the sense functionality
TouchPal dialer provides similar function
As far as using HTC apps on AOSP, it's a no go. HTC use their own framework so you would have to get all the libs and try to port it. Big ask and just something someone won't do. Prob because there are a lot of Sense roms out there.
You could try and flash MIUI's.dialer. That's pretty close to HTC'S version.
Swyped...
Another possibility would be to try a desensed Sense-ROM like Leedroid (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703) and after that reinstall rosie.apk

Hi there all,
Is it possible to remove the HTC sense phone, txt and contacts apps.
I prefer the Android version alot to the HTC ones.
If you are running a sense rom it will cause you problems if you try to.

Dam... so is it possible to install just the HTC camera on say a Cyanogen 6 ROM?
If one was to remove the default HTC phone, txt and contacts and isntall Android and set as default I cant see a problem.
Can anyone point me in the direction of ripping apk's from a image. I've got various Sense and non Sense ROMS and I'd like to look into having together my perfect ROM.
I want the Friend Stream app from HTC Sense on my CM6 RC1, and the weather app. Wouldnt mind the nice transparent bottom menu I've seen in some Foroy sense ROMS.
Im new to the scene, got my Desire about a week ago and have been trying to find a rom to stick with, having tried about 5 so far (mixture of sense and non sense). I'd prefer a non sense rom like OD or CM but i have a major issue which there may be a fix for but i cant seem to find any help on it.
I've found that only the sense roms allow me to dial a number directly from the body of an email. i.e when i press a number is launches the dialer with the number entered but with non sense roms e.g. OD or CM nothing happens when i press the numbers.
My first question is
Is there something that can be done to allow this to happen in the non sense roms,? i.e a mod, app, hack.
Or is anyone able to tell me which component of the sense rom allows this to happen? is it the sense ui itself? the htc dialer, etc.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's HTC's Phone app

And it requires Sense framework. Someone might though try to mod it to run on normal froyo/eclair framework... but I'd not bet on it.
So atm my only choice is to use a stripped down sense Rom?

Yes.

I am curious to try Ruby however I am sure I would miss the HTC's contact picture sync and HTC's people app.
Is there .zip I could apply to replace contacts with people and add HTC's social networking?
They use the HTC frameworks, of which ruby/CM6 use none of, so no.
I downloaded social networking from rom manager and flashed it into skyraider vanilla 3.0 without a problem

Skyraider still has a bit of the rosie (sense) framework in there i believe, I think that is why it works with his, i may be wrong though.
Is the HTC framework tied into the OS in a way that it cant simply be installed via recovery?
Facebook 1.3.2 will import contact info from Facebook. As far as the HTC People app, you're out of luck. Most, if not all, of the Sense specific software requires the HTC framework and Ruby, CM and other AOSP-based ROMs run off of a different framework.
EDIT: The reason it works on SkyRaider Vanilla is because it's still stock HTC sense underneath and it's just had most of the surface Sense stuff removed, modded, or switched out with AOSP versions. I really wish people hadn't started using "Vanilla" to denote a "de-Sense'd" ROM. It's just confusing. Vanilla should always denote AOSP versions of Android.
Does anyone know were to find the htc contacts app, I much prefer roms without sense, but came across pinkys rom which uses a few of the htc stock apps, and they are pretty useful. Would be great if these were flashable! So as maybe I could use it on a rom that doesn't use sense.

All the HTC stuff depends on the Sense framework, so you can hardly get Contacts without pulling most of the Sense in.

You can always opt for the donate version of ADW launcher. Comes with similar widgets to the sense
I used Sense ROMs for my HTC Desire..
Now i install Oxygen ROM. The ROM is great except the Camera and Dialler application.. the Camera and Dialler application is suck..
Is there any way to port HTC Camera and Dialler to AOSP ROM? If possible, i want HTC Lockscreen too..

99.9% is a no, because they need the Sense Framework, and that comes with the Sense Roms.
Sorry mate!
Polite answer: No, impossible.
Rant: This has been asked since the days of the G1 & Magic when the Hero launched. So please do a search next time.
You can try apps from the market:
Try Dialer One to replace your dialer and
Camera 360 to replace what you got.
Bare in mind that certain nexus one developers (IE Enom) have done this successfully. It may very well be outside the scope of the skill of lots developers over here in the desire forum though - I know I would have no idea in hell where to begin.
