[Congrats, the hater made me raise the price from $20, to $40] - Goal is to replace Sense dialer with stock dialer/calllog/contacts from an AOSP 2.1 rom.
I hate SenseUI. Not Really, but the way the dialer/contacts work, is just one of my biggest problems with Sense.
So, when I get this phone, my only reason to root, is if I can replace my default phone/contacts APK.
I haven't used a Sense rom on any phone for over an hour, simply because I can NOT stand the dialer/call log and such.
Any suggestions? Please?
Im familiar with ADB, and will have no problems/regrets/worries about rooting, as I treat my phones like a first born, and dont let them get near harm.
But if there is no real hope for me replacing the Call Log/ Dialer/ Contacts part, with the style from 2.1 N1, I might as well go get my deposit back.
Anyone? First person with step for steps gets $40 donated/paypal'd/ whatever works for you
thanks for not flaming, im sure others will be pleased if this information is made simple-and-clear.

Kinda curious if LauncherPro will function correctly aswell, but i can atleast live with the Sense Launcher/drawer, but would be way happier knowing in advance that I could run some form.. Helix1/2, LauncherPro, ADW, etc.

well first off you gotta root it first, after that i'm not sure.
Edit: i'm retarded, gotta read the title of stuff before I post.
Ha. I woke up to the sweet sound of my email sound on my N1, hoping someone responded, read it.. came to the computer, to see you corrected yourself, and I dont have to be bitter.
Yes. I will root, as long as I know I can do this.
Thanks again though. .
..4 more hours.. till Tmobile can suck it.

Sorry your best bet is to wait till the cusom roms start coming out, senseUI stuff will go away real fast then. But I agree with you, i'm not a fan of it either.
The problem with Sense UI is the deepness of how it is built into the system. Technically you could push an ASOP .apk of Contacts, but you would more than likely still default back to the Sense version anyway.
Your best bet is waiting on a full ASOP or ASOP-esque build that will remove Sense for the most part. $10 dollars please!
Come on.. there isnt a way I cant also have my contacts/phone dialer/call log as a seperate APK and not over-write the sense stuff? like just have both installed on my phone?
On modaco fourms a while back, in a sense rom they said that was an option, i cant find the original thread for the life of me right now..

I said it.
I still have not found an acceptable solution to this.
Im intending on giving this a full week, before I just return my phone.
I dont mind so much, if it doesnt straight up REPLACE my standard call/contacts/call log, if I can include the stock APK from AOSP 2.1, that runs coexsistant with the current setup, that will be fine.
Someone? Anyone? ill raise the price to $20 if someone can find me an acceptable solution.
Is it not possible for this to just turn into a simple app, like Dialer One basically remade the Sense dialer/contact lists into an app?
every single person that doesnt have htc smart dialer wants it, and you that have it wants to get rid of it, htc dialer > android dialer, sorry but you're truly being a big baby, just return the phone someone will make better use of it.

ha, you sirrrr are out $20
You do realize, what Im asking isnt too far fetched.. considering this is a forum based off of doing things to the phone that were never originally intended for it right?
You just mad you dont have one? Who knows.
We dont need you, or your god damned negativity.
**** it. $40 on the table.
I already got my evo and don't need your chump change, I had a mytouch3g and a nexus one and always wanted to have the HTC smart dialer and now that I have it , I see a retard trying to get it off his phone, anyway on topic just wait till they root and release an eclair build or a froyo build.

You , aldi, arent seeing the point here. So go play somewhere else
Stop wasting my ****ing time. You obviously dont know what is and isnt possible, and its that whole "oh just wait until its out" type of mentality that doesnt motivate anyone, to make things happen.
Please, jump out of this thread, and **** yourself.
Then do something about it get the phone apk from the nexus one dump and try to push it to the evo be creative you're just a retard trying to get things handed to you I don't see why a dev trying to get froyo on our device would stop doing that so just one guy could get Android dialer on his evo, you're just plain stupid really.

Dude if I had time, I would, otherwise I wouldnt be offering money to people.
Devs that are working on Froyo, im not asking them to do anything different.
but there sure as hell are enough people on here, that have a better understanding of android coding than I currently do, and obviously im not the only person with an interest in this.
Please, im not intending to make this thread a argument between you and me.
Get something to say to me? Then message it, stop cluttering this ****.
I know $40 isnt even an hours worth a work when compared to the price I charge people for IT work, or hardware diagnostics.
If there has to be a higher price to make it happen, ill be paying it, Not you, and everyone else will benefit.
So stop crying about me wanting to put money into the hands of somebody that may need, or want the cash flow.
It's not the giving away money that bothers me its just the fact that you want to dumb down your phone that I cannot comprehend anyway good luck but like they said sense seems pretty deep into the OS so it might not be such an easy task

Here's an UNTESTED thought:
I downloaded another Rom from the Hero forums that should have the AOSP dialer and yanked the phone.apk file from the v2.5.3 download (it should be attached below, there's a newer one up there too if you want to try that instead)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663366
The idea is that if you install it and then press the phone button, it should prompt you for which dialer you want to use and if you select "Contacts", it should drop you into the AOSP dialer. You might need the "contact.apk" file as well on further research...but no harm in trying, right? If it fails, just uninstall and it should drop you back to normal.
If it works, I nominate the money goes to toast and/or flipz...because I love toast and flipz's work since my hero days.
HINT: NO SYSTEM RW ROOT AT THIS TIME, meaning until we get that you cant replace any of the system apps.

Worth mentioning, is that I did pull the Contacts.apk, contactsstorage.apk, and Phone.apk, directly off my N1,
and while I tried to install all of them, in the end it doesn't allow it to happen.
this was a common knowledge move to me, as I assumed this wasn't going to work, before mrono and thecodemonk posted it.
I had to leave for the redbull air races before I could post that i tried directly that, to no avail.
but, the lack of System RW root, was the type of explanation i was looking for, as to why it didn't work.
thanks again, when we further this, Ill spread $ to the right directions, if not put some towards the proper Dev's now anyway.
If you root using toasts method and have rw permissions in recovery. Try this while in recovery
adb remount
adb push Phone.apk /system/app
Try a few different phone apks from nexus or cdma hero darchdroid or any other 2.1 AOSP rom.
Sometimes just installing apps wont work. And it should ask you to replace the htcdialer when pressing the phone icon. You dont have to have rw while in android for this to happen. Its something included in all android phones. Just like if you install a launcher from the market, you dont have rw permissions but it will still ask you if you want to switch launchers when you press home. If it doesnt ask then try to go to Setting>applications>manage apps> htcdialer and then see if you can select "clear default"
EDIT: im going to post an aosp phone.apk from an htc rom that that someone put together.
Try this View attachment Phone.apk

I can't guarantee that it will work but you could follow the links to the sprint updated flashable vvm zip. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743781
If that fails, you could try to extract the zip to grab the apk inside. I think I might have tried this with something else and failed but it's worth a shot.

Wolf,
Wow, Sprint VVM will work on a senseless ROM. I had it on a cyanogem ROM on my old hero and also on my Evo. It even worked on the early, rough builds on the stuff darchstar was doing for the Hero. It sucks that it doesn't work for you, but that doesn't mean that it will not work at all. Searching the CM6 thread would have shown you people discussing how to get vvm working AND their success in doing so.
Oh, and here is something we all probably forget from time to time about internet arguments.
"Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded."
I have cm6 and I instaled the vvm and everytime I get a vm I get a text from 9016...its so annoying how can I stop it

I've never installed this program before so I cannot vouch for it. You can try "Super - Private Conversation" in the market. You can search for "call sms mms block" in the market and pick your poison. At the very least, search "sms block" in the market app.
My suggestion is if someone doesn't have the patience or desire to help a newb, then don't flame them. Ignore the newb. Let someone else respond to them.
Could the errors you're experiencing when trying to install it be that the download, for whatever reason, got corrupted? It could be that the cm6 you have downloaded and flashed might be bad but I doubt it. Another idea is to go back into recovery and wipe phone and all caches and flash it again from the beginning. Maybe the flash snafu'd the first time around.
I'm not saying this is the answer to everything, I'm just offering up suggestions I would try myself. Installing or reinstalling isn't a big deal to me. I'm used to it from the windows days and linux when I screwed up something so bad I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Maybe reflashing the google apps on top of itself might fix the google voice problems. My gv is working fine.
I'm trying my best to ignore the drama...
wow 5 pages down to one after cleaning out the bad stuff.
look this is the Q&A section. its a place to ask questions. no one should feel like they cant ask a question in this section. those who would like to debate that please keep it to yourself. that said back on topic.
to contribute to the thread instead of flaming and calling names. i will add that u need a few libs and a few other apks to go with the VVM.apk. u will also need part of htcs frameworks that are missing from cm. this is the issue. cm doesnt have everything the apks and libs need. one could fix this but it would take some time sorting it all out.
Hey devs and other...im currently on phoenix rom...i believe i had the black market fine at one point but now the market is downgrading rapidly. i have tried freezing the market updater and also system update but no go. I have tried searching for anwers but most are from 2010 and versions the black market of the old market. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance
ahhaaaa...........i see the key is.....data/app folder...delete apk.vending...working great thus far...of course...you always find the answer ....right after you ask the question lol..story of my life!!!
OKKKKKKKKKKKK SO I LIED!!!! It just took longer to revert...ughhh....
I think it's outdated.

Any version of 3.x Markets seem to have a built in updater. So even though they are themed it will update. If you think 3.1.5 may be around for awhile then have someone theme it black and it will stick. The other option is to find an old 2.x black market and install that, then you can freeze market updater to keep it.
Wow..thanks guys..i guess it was fun while it lasted...so i can unfreeze everything..its not gonna change anything either way huh?

Unfortunately not. Drove me crazy for 3 days before I gave up and accepted the new market. Resistance is futile!
Here is the link in themes which claims to keep it from updating but it takes a bunch of reboots to get it to take, plus there are some themed 3.1.5 markets in this thread:

Hey guys,
Just found this and thought I'd share in case anyone wants to give it a try. Its a new Launcher from Samsung, called "Terrain", that is intended to make things quicker and easier to access. It's still in beta apparently, so it probably will have some bugs, and will likely be updated fairly often as they find and address them. I'm not able to try this myself right now, so I can't give any personal feedback on it, but figured I'd let you guys know about it anyway.
You can read more about it and get it at the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.terrainhome
I also have it uploaded to my Dev-Host account in case anyone wants the actual apk file to play with, or incorporate into a rom. You can download that here: http://d-h.st/KmA
Sammobile has a small write-up about it as well. You can read that here: http://www.sammobile.com/2014/06/17...een-launcher-app-for-all-android-4-2-devices/
Let us know what you think if you try it out!
Not bad
Tried out the whole of yesterday. Not bad in my opinion.
I tried it too. Couldn't get the Facebook news feed to work and it doesn't let you choose which phone number to use when you click on a favorite contact. Also it would only show the notification bar if you pulled down from the very top and their was no setting to change that. Other than that I liked it

Do you have and can you submit the new APK of Terrain launcher? (The realease date19.06)
I'm living in Europa and I can't install the app from Play. (Out of US can't download.)
THX in advance!
Maybe someone can install, copy and attach it here for us? I would but my device is broken.
I'll have it up in just a moment
DONE

Thanks Bro!
I try it.
Its great to know that samsung is working on a new launcher. TW home is seriously outdated and should be replaced. If google launcher wasn't included as an option in the ROM I'm using, I'd be rocking this in a heart beat. Looks awesome.
FB new feed doesnt work.. cant update the launcher as I dont live in the US
Here's the latest version, 0.374, released July 2, 2014
Get it from play store, several updates since then. GREAT launcher, fast and smooth

Thanks for this doc. Didn't notice this or know anything about this until now. Look forward to modifying it some myself and inverting it.
I checked the Google Play version number, which is 0.400, and searched based on that number. The same version number is at the link below. I've downloaded it to my Moto G and the app works, including the Facebook sign in process.
http://apkleecher.com/?id=com.terrainhome
Thanks for posting the link for this launcher. It is by far my fav. It has everything you can need and it doesn't seem to slow brown the phone like others.
Samsung seems to have not done any more with this for a fairly long time now. Do they have something else out instead?
Rooted and flashed over to the Cyanogenmod (unofficial) release over in the Dev forum here, but I can't find an apk that will install correctly and the play store says my phone is not compatible. The Marshmallow Visual Voicemail seems to be the only thing I've found in this release that isn't working for me, too.
I'm wondering if anyone can provide an APK from their phone or something? Might just be out of luck until the dev in charge of the Note 4 Cyanogen is back or Verizon releases 6.0.1 for the Note 4. All the APKs (and a flashable zip or two) have been kinda old. Most of them would install but force close if you tried to open them.

There's some promising stuff there. Frustratingly someone claims to have it working on AOSP, like CM, but the link 404s. I'll edit this post if I find something that works in case anyone else looks here. Thank you!
Edit: Nope, none of it seemed to work; it still just FCs when I open it. Oddly, I can't uninstall the app now even after undoing the build.prop changes. Oh well, if it causes problems I can wipe and reflash later.
