Hi!
Is there a method for using stock SMS android ics app on official Samsung gs2 ics rom?
The system, whit 4.0.3 version, Is fast and fluid... but samsung SMS app is horrible!
I like phone app...Samsung personalization is beautiful... but not for SMS!
thanks for your work...
You are too much important for android community!

Samsung Messaging has a crappy theme but it's superior to the stock Messaging app.

Superior in what way?
Thanks a lot!
The standard samsung app is better than stock but graphically deviates too much from holo.
I immediately downloaded the application that you have shown me, but unfortunately doesn't work ... After having opened app it crashes.
In particular, he shows me the list of all messages (distinguishing read from unread) but when I try to go into a conversation stops everything.
I use GoLauncherEx on Samsung official 4.0.3 rom. When the application crashes, even golauncher crashes! For a few seconds the screen is all black (it show me only tray bar)!
I know that GoLauncherEx isn't optimized for ics but is the only launcher that lets me create folders in the program list (I have much application and I need it!).
Actually ICS isn't very stable on my device and I'm almost regretting gingerbread!
I can do anything about it?
Thanks again for your support,
I hope one day I'd help forum people.

That is very strange. Which firmware did you install? I installed XEO (polish version) and didn't get a single crash or problem what so ever. I had a few problems in rooting it, though (needed to wipe it first and re-flash the orginial ICS firmware before rooting to get the root rights recognized). But once that got fixed, everything was and still is perfect.
Or maybe it is because of the go launcher ex? I was using TW the entire afternoon (13.03) without crashes. At night I installed Apex launcher as system launcher and no crashes either (one day running), very low battery consumption and awesome looks. You can add the ICS Theme Pack from kovdev to get the ICS icons.
Hello element!
I've installed the XEO firmware, then polish, just like you.
I have not done the wipe but updated via OTA.
I had already installed GoLauncher. When I've upgraded I've selected Golauncher instead of Tw.
Currently I have encountered frequent application crashes and one total block of the system. The battery, to be honest, I can not tell if it lasts more than gingerbread why I used the phone a lot for various customizations.
I do not know if the problem is that I did not do a wipe.
If he continues to give me problems I do a backup. After I install the rom again.
Tonight I remove the battery and after power on. Tomorrow, we'll update on my test.
PS The biggest problem is GoSmsPro. it sends multiple messages at one time. If I send you a message, you will receive two. I do not know how to solve.
PS2 The root I did with Odin and had no problems ...
Thanks for the help,
Hello!
As I promised you I a write updates.
I solved the problem of low stability: I made a deepclean and then installed applications without syncing (I installed all the applications manually).
Now I have one problem, the phone crashes when I try to change the background. If you have any idea: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23727272#post23727272
For the rest new rom does not seem bad ...
Thanks for your help,

Hey, check it out: One so called Tim Hutt put the stock calendar, messaging, and launcher app in the market and they all work just fine for me. The apps are called "Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS", "Android 4 ICS Calendar", and "Android 4 ICS Launcher".
The only bug I have (and it's not a big one) is that the screen doesn't light up when you receive a text message... Perhaps this is because I disabled/removed the official Samsung messaging services though... If you leave the default services enabled, then the screen lights up like normal but you have to select a setting in the ICS messaging app to disable the message receiver because then both the Samsung app and the ICS app will both write the text message to the database and you'll have duplicate incoming messages. Just go to settings and scroll to the very bottom to see what I mean... Enable that option if you don't remove the Samsung services/apps.

Hello,
I flashed the rom last night. It is amazing! But there is some problems for me...
1. Problem:
I am now trying to sync my facebook contacts with my google contacts... But there is no facebook contacts syncing... No facebook id in the people's contact menus...
I used htc sense roms before and i could've sync the facebook contacts.
And there is no contact sync menu in facebook App's submenus?
So do you know what the problem that i have?
2. Problem:
I can easily use the "phone pad keyboard types with t9" but i can't find a second keyboard type other than the miui keyboard in the miui's settings menu...?
Is there a way to change the miui's orijinal keyboard type to phone pad type ?

For facebook you will need to download the facebook app or any other app that syncs your contacts. A reboot may be needed. If you want to sync your facebook contacts with whatsapp along with your phone contacts, let me know I'll upload an app for that.
Or you could manually input your facebook contacts
I didn't understand your second question/problem.
Edit: heck, the app I mentioned.... you can find it if you scroll down a bit.

First of all,
Thank-you for your fast response...
1. & 2. Photos,
As you can see from the screen shots,
I have all ready install Facebook App. And it's showned at Acounts menu. But in the contacts menu, there is only Google and Exchange Acount showing..
So, the people in my contact list have not sync with my Facebook or Twitter Acount.
3. & 4. Photos
I installed an. Htc keyboard App. From the forum as you can see, i have just wanted to change orginal miui keyboard to phone pad type..
I think miui must have 2. Optional keyboard as standard..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
That looks like miui ics. I haven't flashed that in a while. If I remember correctly there might have been problems with the contacts. Read the thread, yes, the 100+ pages or you can use the search function.
Before doing that you can try clicking on the sync off and then on to see if it resyncs and reboot if it doesn't show. If you already tried this then you can skip it.
With the keyboard, sorry I still don't know what you want to do. Coffee still hasn't kicked in.
Click on qwerty keyboard to see if that is what you want. But then again that should have been the default so you ahould have seen it.
If it is that you only want a dial pad, only numbers to show, that will show up in a few places, how to select that only, no idea.
Sorry if this is confusing, I just got up and coffee hasn't done its magic yet.
Edit: I think I see what you mean.
You want to use two different keyboards at the same time?
Or is it that you want to use only the t9/dial pad all the time?
The most I know is that you can change the theme for the keyboard, however, Im not sure if that is working in ics yet.

hmm,
i've just came at home and saw your reply...
i just want to use the dial pad keyboard style for all time... and i have used it with my old htc sense rom for along time...i installed an htc keyboard .apk from the forum as you see.. but miui doesnot have the dial pad keyboard style, it has only qwerty keyboard... am i correct?
i really liked miui, but the keyboard and the contacts sync issue is really important for me...
For facebook problem use (facebook sync application) is the best for now
and for the keyboard i don't get your problem but you maybe would to try perfect keyboard application

I flashed the icecoldsandwich-7.4.AOKP-signed rom from Lordclokan.
And it can do Merging or other things with facebook in the contacts menu...
So the facebook (or twitter) sync problem is only about miui rom...

Gonna flash blinds ics to see if the same thing happens.
Same thing happened with bliinds ics.
If you figure it out let me know.
Regarding the keyboard, couldn't figure it out.
Edit: apparently its an ics issue.

Try HaxSync it works a lot better than the facebook app with syncing facebook contacts to your phone plus it also downloads a better photo from facebook than the fb app does.

Tried it, contacts started force closing, had to refalsh!! (
I am recently having fun of dual booting on Siyah kernel.
On Cyanogen , the dialer is great & simple.
Also contacts work great than present in Samsung.
The full screen caller image , shortcuts of apps or widgets get delete that is removed from home screen just by flicker.
I know that some of these features or all given by Google itself in Jelly bean.
Can we port them to touch wiz ?
Please , don't tell me an substitute app for dialer , etc because apps don't work like system app works
Thanks in advance guys.
Sorry , if I have posted in wrong section

Doubt that
I really doubt anything could be done with stock Dialer. Balagamer mod it for 240 dpi but just that.
Sorry to say that, because is think it is the only glitch in our device.
Anyway and as I have suffered the same frustration (now forgotten) I dare to recomend you to give a try to exDialer. Since I use it my S3 it finally become what a 600 € phone should be.
You will get quick dialer with real T9 and a fast contact app (with nearly 1500 contacts open inmediately), keeping stock "incoming" call and "in call" screens (nice idea for compatibility with TW actions). And you will be able forget those stupid water leak sounds that hide the proper dialing key codes.
It is a very light app and don't cause any problem. It is free, skinable, and you don't loose anything triying.

Thanks for the recommendation! I just tried it and it is an awesome app. Where the stock dialer used to be slow, taking a few seconds before loading, this one shows up instantly. The contacts list is also so much cleaner than stock.
You are welcome.
Happy to know you try my recomendation and find it usefull.
Wow...days of frustration.
*Solved?* So I flashed back to ICS to see if my memory (of having a dark phone app and contacts editor) was correct. Turns out it was. I was using exDialer with the dark theme (downloaded separately) and while it was still using the default phone app to call, it was skinning it black. In JB I cannot get any dialer to skin the phone to any color other than the bright white. I don't have a solution for that. For now I will stick with ICS.
***Edit: Please note that when I say "dialer" I mean the phone. The dial pad on alternative apps works fine but when I actually place the call a stock phone comes up***
I got the OTA JB 200 update for my Xperia Acro S a couple weeks ago. First thing I noticed was that when I would make a call with exDialer, the stock dialer (Phone) would start up and the call was actually placed through that. Same with dealing with contacts. I can be in exDialer and when i try to edit contacts it opens up the stock contacts app. So then I tried Dialer One. Same thing. WTH? It's easy for me to see this happening because the themes I use in exDialer and/or Dialer one are all dark and the stock apps are bright white!
I figure it's something with this ROM. So I spent two days studying all this stuff on the forum.
I unlock the bootloader
Root the phone
Wipe everything
and flash a stock 211 ROM. (I know I didn't need to root for a stock ROM but if I was screwing around already, might as well)
Guess what? Same behavior with the dialer and contacts. WTH?
Is this just a JB thing?
Please help!

Guess what. That is not a JB thing, it's just a crappy dialer, of course I am referring to your exDialer.

But it was fine in ICS. I also installed DialerOne. Is that considered crappy as well?
Also, when I said I wiped everything I mean I had data, cache, and appslog checked in flash tool. But now that I look more closely I can see that some data was retained on my phone. Could this be the problem?

ICS is not JB
I am not sure if this is a personal issue or a ROM issue.
But I've noticed over time with InsertCoin, some features have gotten worse, but I am not sure if they were removed or if they are optional now (as in go and download them yourself)
I can't even test this theory because for some reason, my InsertCoin Market app crashes every single time I open it instantaneously.
And the feature that I really want to have are two things..
Change my lockscreen default apps that I can open, such as GoSMS instead of default messaging, and put email on the front instead of camera.
And the other feature was on the extreme power saving mode, I also want to replace the default messaging app with GoSMS, this used to be a feature but I can't find it anywhere anymore. It's not in the Kontrol either.
Any help with fixing my InsertCoin problems would be great, especially the instant market crashing.

Have you tried updating the ROM? Is it stock android or sense? Try going Settings>Wireless & Networks>More>Default SMS app
I have the latest version of the ROM, and there isn't any "update" buttons or anywhere built in that I can even check to see if there is a newer version out.

Can someone please check their Widget list and see if the stock messaging/ SMS widget is there. For some reason mine is missing, i use nova launcher and thought that maybe the issue, but its not there in stock launcher either.
Thanks.
I don't use it but I just tried to set a widget and it doesn't appear in my list of widgets.
What the heck. The widget used to be there for me on my S9. Can someone else confirm if they see it or not also. It makes Bo since why it would be removed. On my work phone galaxy S6. It is working as usual.

Same reason they removed image resizing from the photo editing app, replaced "keep screen off in a dark place such as pocket or bag" with "touch is disabled in a dark place", screen will now happily come on and stay on though... and other dumb changes that make no sense
At a guess for the messages widget, stats probably showed it wasn't used much but who knows with Samsung

Use a different SMS app that contains a widget?
Android Messages has widgets and is a much better app in my opinion.
i really like to keep my phone minimalist with no extra apps unless i have too.. also it's nice having one that respects the theming engine of the phone.

After toying around on and off all day, I found an older version of the Google Android Messages app that works and has the widget. I do not promote installing apps from unverified sources outside if the Google Play Store as it can be a risk to your device. Here is the application that I found to be working:
