For ICS ROMs, is there a way to get the AOSP dialer working if it came with TouchWiz?

I'm running Darkside Evolution 2.
I'm really not digging the Touchwiz Dialer, which inexplicably leaves off the contacts tab.
Is there a way to replace the dialer with AOSP, or is this one of those things that pretty much needs to be baked into the ROM?

You could just push the phone.apk from aosp ics into your system

Just doing that doesn't seem to work, seems like phone.apk is very finicky.
Based on the lack of responses from anyone chiming in saying they've done it, doesn't sound like anyone has managed to pull it off yet it's so finicky.

It's possible. There was a zip somewhere that was posted on the Skyrocket forum. I can't find it, so I decided to upload it. Not taking credit for it, just can't remember where it came from: AOSP Patch.zip

Edit: Was having problems before, but reflashed from scratch, now all is well.

Just as a warning, if you flash the zip above, you well also be theeming your market and contracts etc. Also it's a darker version of the dialer without the blue accents.

[MOD][TW][4.1.2] AOSP Lockscreen Toggle and TouchWiz Lockscreen Mods

Got The AOSP Locksreen to work on stock deodexed Touchwiz Rom.
I'm using NOTEorious Prime RC1.5 JB 4.1.2 AOSP/TW Mash-up N7105
Should work on other Roms as well
This is has Ink Mod Red/Black Built in to the Settings so no need to flash both.
Just Flash the Attached Zips [SECSettings AOSP Lockscreen Addon] and [AOSP Lockscreen] You may need to wipe Cache/Dalvik
As Always BACKUP before you flash anything.
Clock is White Right Now and I am Working on color mods for it.
Have a mod for blue Lockscreen Text
Manual Way:
It is getting hard for me to keep up with all the mod changes and everything going on in my life so I will post the changed files for this mod so that dev's can add them to any ROM.
AOSP Lock.rar has 4 files in side, just replace the files in your ROM with these.
android.policy.jar
\com\android\internal\policy\impl and open LockPatternKeyguardView.smali
SecSettings.apk
/smali/com/android/settings/ folder and open LockscreenSettings.smali
res/xml folder and open lockscreen_settings.xm
The 4th file is only needed if you have problems recompiling it has the changes need for wfd_picker_dialog.xml. It goes in res/layout.

TouchWiz LockScreen Mods
I will place My Touchwiz Lock-screen Mods in this post to keep the 2 separate. These do not interfere with the toggle mod so both can be flashed.

Didnt work for me on CleanRom

Could someone please post screen shots? I've been waiting for AOSP lock screen so that I could get the music controls that are difficult to get to in TW lock screen. I just want to make sure this is what I'm looking for before I load it up.
Also, does this add custom app access like modified AOSP lock screen?
Hitting thanks to OP for his effort, whether I end up using this or not.

That's what it looks like on mine with the all blue text. Will probably make an all black for that wallpaper.
Lockscreen icons are in framework-res. So you can change them to anything you want Slide up for Google Now [Hard to see on White Wallpaper]
I am working on lockscreen mods for this. A lot of the structure is in the original system so it makes it a little easier but I still have to find the hidden ones.
Lockscreen Targets can be modified but not easily. Would have to redirect the targets manually.

It seems this doesn't work Saurom install unfortunately ):
Flashed SECSettings AOSP Lockscreen Addon.zip with AOSP Lockscreen.zip in TWRP. I tried it with and without wiping the cache. All I got were bootloops.
Luckily I had a backup so this was no real problem for me.
Still looking forward to this mod when its working!

That mod is a hybrid so I'm guessing the android.policy.jar is different. Send that to me and the SecSettings.apk and I can see if I can get it working on there.

I'm guessing it is different. I just looked at the thread and I bet they modified it quite a bit to get the google wallet and per app dpi working. I'm trying to decide which ROM to flash next. If you want you can send me your android.policy.jar and secsettings.apk and I can try to make it for you.

Possibly. The framework for the aosp lockscreen is already built in. All I had to do was reference it. Samsung just added there stuff on top. If you send me your android.policy.jar and secsettings.apk . I can look at it and try the method I used for the note 2 if you don't mind testing.

They can be modified, just not like cyanogenmod. I would have to manually add them. I am trying to work on a way to easily do it before I post it so that I can take requests.

Okay lol I don't think I can help you, never owned a nexus device, and still don't, just came across this thread and wanted to help out .
Replacing the icons is just 3/5 icons, that shouldn't be that hard.

You can do it from aokp ROM settings. I assume you'd have to be on aokp tho

I downloaded and installed masturmods but unfortunately when I go to apply the changes for the navigation bar's icons nothing happens
I think it's compatible only with ICS and not with JB

i have followed the soft keys thread here on the forum and had to factory reset the phone twice.. so be carefull, it even worked once but then after a reboot it all disapeared :/
will be happy to get a better way to make that instead of using metomorph again

Try Sorcery rom. Has that option. Has like 100 to choose from and you can still change em manually if desired.

Today's CM10.1 nightly brings some personalizations for the navigation bar. :highfive:
In part I solved the problem, even if with this, for now, we can't change buttons images.

Just use 7zip to open systemui.apk. drag and replace your own PNG into it (don't extract, just open). Use any available systemui cwm flashable zip in themes thread, replace with your edited systemui.apk. Flash in recovery, clear cache/dalvik. Reboot.

CM10.1 Virtual Buttons

I'm running the CM10.1 nightlies and am interested in getting nexus 4 like on screen buttons.
I have tried editing the build.prop file with the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 but that only enables options in the settings and not the actual keys themselves. Anybody have ideas?

Flash AOKP 4.2.2 JB-1 MR1 Build 5. It got Navigation Bar (Virtual Button) Option. It is the same CM10.1 ROM further developed with more customization options & fixes. Everything is working Great in this AOKP ROM.

Sorry about that, no idea then. :/

Its fine, hopefully somebody else can chime in.
Edit: Just tried out AOKP thoroughly and I feel like its not as smooth as CM10.1

I'm going to bump this. I really like the nav buttons but theres too many useful features in CM10.1 that are missing in AOKP. Hopefully somebody can lead me to enabling the nav bar for cm 10.1

Empowering stock rom

Hello there,
I have been using stock rom for three days with certain mods and so far I like it a lot.
Just wanted to let you know about the possible mods you can find to empower the stock rom :
1. Advanced power menu
2. Battery percentage
3. Centre clock
4. T9dialer
5. Sms with quick reply from CM or other Roms works fine
6. Customised tiles with quick pulling (kevdliu mod)
You won't find mods for:
Volume wake (but you can buy pgm app for that)
Screenlock targets
Navigation bar targets (just Google search)
So far I am enjoying stock rom. Maybe I will keep using it.
However this post is a sign of personal gratitude to all users here that share their knowledge and make the stock rom a pleasant software for daily use. At least for me.
Cheers

This thread would be more useful with posted links to those mods attached.

It is certain that you will enjoy stock rom through these mods.

T9 dialer doesn't seem to work on odexed jdq39.

All the mods are for deodexed rom and for JDQ39.

There is luckily also a variant of extended power menu for odexed stock .

I'm not 100% sure since I havent done this on the Galaxy Nexus. But there is a file in /system/usr/keylayout/ that handles the hardware button actions. On my Verizon Nexus using CM10.1, the file is called "tuna-gpio-keypad.kl". In that file there will be three lines for the three buttons. VOLUME_DOWN, VOLUME_UP, and POWER. I'm not sure what the stock file has in it but if there is no "WAKE" after the volume buttons, putting it there should allow the volume wake option. Power should have WAKE after it already. This is all just in theory though. I used to mess with my hardware button controls with my old device. Havent done anything with the Nexus.

Well the wake word is there for both volume up, down and power. I think it is done on framework file.

These are all great mods I've used on any stock ROM I tried. Two mods kept me going to custom ROMs, volume keys to skip music tracks while screen off and no theme engine support. If I could get those two into the mix, I might consider a stock ROM again lol.

Maybe you could deodex, add T9 dialer, then use the Odex Me app. Not sure it would work. It may break things.

stock rom is not fun! what's about rom cook?

Here's an odexed T9 dialer I just made. I'm not on stock so I couldn't test. Recommend to make a backup of your contacts.apk and contacts.odex just in case of issues. Nandroid recommended as well. Please report if it works or has any issues.
https://www.box.com/s/8oi3aw0oio0nuf109sa7
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

If anyone on stock tries this, if you could verify contacts.apk and contacts.odex were placed in /system/app and permissions were set correctly, then it should be working unless something went wrong with the odexing, but I received no errors and removed the .dex file from the .apk. Any feedback is appreciated. This can be flashed via CWM/TWRP or if you are rooted, you can extract the contacts.apk and contacts.odex and copy them to /system/app and set permissions rw-r--r--. Remember to backup your existing files first or rename them by adding .bak to the filename. After copying the files, a reboot is needed.
