hi,
as it's stated in the title, Is there any way to replace Samsung's contacts app with stock ICS/JB People app on our SGNII?
Thank you.
Similar question: Is it possible to get the stock ICS/JB messaging app on the SGNII?
I tried installing an mms.apk from an old CM10 rom I had for my sgs2 but it kept saying that it was replacing a system app and would fail, but when I looked in system/app I couldn't find another mms.apk
still waiting for an answer ...
you cant use ics stock appz on jb firmware.... if it is ported from jb to jb, maybe it will work... MAYBE

For me ICS apps work well on JB. Must not be a problem.

It probably wont work, to use aosp dialer, you need aosp telephanyservice.apk, and i think it dependent on framework, and we have SEMC framework not aosp.

Alright. let me know the result when you've done. I'm a bit afraid to try because I don't wanna get Force Close.
As AndroHero said - you cant just install the apk, you will have to use a custom ginger bread rom or a go phone/contacts program since its vital function. installing doesnt do a thing, then install the stock one and you get force close

I don't understand of what are you saying...
i tired it doesnt work, no difference, you will have to flash it with a non sony rom or use a program like go contacts to replace it,since is apart of the framework.
Does anyone do themes for stock ICS? i notice all themes are for any other rom. Soon, one i get some bravery i will flash a rom, but in the meantime, i was wondering if i can change the theme. Like the way the notification bar looks, different battery and stuff. Or is this wishful thinking?

Backup ur rom and flash one of the themes for Darkside or Infamous... If it doesnt boot after Darkside.Cache with permission fix, then advanced restore /system

this isnt going to work for stock rooted.
OP: For a theme you will need a deodexed ROM. Even if its a stock deodexed, but you need deodexed.
Thank you blackangst.
I will read more into deodexed rom and get myself familiar with it before doing anything.
does Rom Toolbox theme work for stock? i noticed that app on the market and all that it does, including Icon changing, themes and other stuff. Would this work with Stock ICS or do i still have to have a custom rom?

Yea i am rooted. What should i back up? i have already one a nanbackup on the 16 of this month. If it screws up, i can retore with such backup correct?
Well nevermind, with official ICS this app wont. I was close to buy it, but no need to. The framework on original ICS is odexed, so i need a deodexed rom to mod any of the framework.
Is there anyway i can get stock ics dialer and stock ics messaging app without having to flash to CM9 or any other rom.

You obviously do not read others posts...
@OP
I tried to insert them as system apps, but on Sammy ROM, the phone functionality is gone when deletein the original SecPhone.apk. So I'm pretty sure that it does not work that easy.

What posts should I read? and why don't you help the OP then?
As for dialer replacement apps, they don't replace everything (most often only dialing pad and/or contacts list) and often are unstable.
I replaced secmms.apk with aosp. Works fine. Had to name it same and reboot. Did you try that with dialler?

1. He wanted a solution without a whole CM9 ROM, you told him he could install such a ROM. Questions? No...
2. I told him that the stock CM9/AOKP Dialer app does not work in Sammy ROMS.
Thats kinda help imho.
@OP
I tried ExDialer from market with ICS theme. Very nice. But the original Dialer app from ROM needs to be active in ROM. Without it=No phone connectivity.

Did not work when I tried. SMS/MMS yes, but Dialer unfortunately not
Anyone have an APK for it?
*Or if the Jellybean one will work on ICS I'll try that as well*
I am tired of the touchwiz one and want a stock apk.. But don't want to go full stock because of the other features.

Explains how to replace TouchWiz apps with stock ICS. I will say I have not done this on the H9 update though. I do not think these work on Jellybean based ROMs either. I tried to install the pure ICS messenger app in a stock based jellybean rom and it did not work.

On a side note ... me messing around after I found a ICS APK... putting it into the app folder with a root explorer and then rebooted seemed to work..
I didn't do anything but that heh
Only thing now is I don't see a option to turn it black for the background ..

That is what the thread I linked explains how to do. It gives APK for most ICS apps and explains the problems that users have ran into with them and how to back up the stock TouchWiz apps if you want to restore them. I have no idea how you would go about changing the background color but there is probably information in the Themes and Apps section of the forums.

May be Try YourSelf
How? Explain pls.
I allready tried it the copy/paste way with setting permissions, it ended up by having NO SMS App.
Explain how to port it, and ill do it on my own.
You could try installing the app like any other app so it replaces the one in the system
Bear in mind that a lot of stock apps and functions aren't available on custom roms
I installed 4.1.1. Messaging App on the play store and it's for free, works like a charm and is now my main messaging app.
