All,
Just wondering what stock app have you replaced in ICS? ie sms, launcher, dialer, browser... and why?
I'm trying to stay pure ICS and so far I'm digging what came with ICS but just curious what everyone has replaced on their phone. Not even gonna root.."YET"
Thanks!
None, ICS's stock apps are great.
Only thing I have replaced if the music app, I find it a bit ugly, especially the widget. So I'm using Ubermusic

For me, I only replaced the stock keyboard with Swiftkey X....though I wish Swiftkey X can use the Voice to txt like stock.
Dialer with exdialer + ICS theme.
Why? The dialer stinks, does't have t9 name lookup.
Even entering a number does't suggest numbers matching the pattern.
exdialer fixes all this, and with the ICS theme maintains the UX
I use ADW EX Launcher, because I'm so used to it and I want my appdrawer to scroll vertically. Another benefit is that ADW can backup and restore its settings and that comes in handy, if you have to factory reset the GN.
Not (yet) rooted by the way.
The stock music app does not find my music, so I installed PowerAMP and that works just fine.

+1 my friend. I'm so used with the sense dialer and really missed t9 lookup. Now it's better.
I also replaced stock launcher with Nova Launcher. It's almost identical with the original, but has much more functionality.

Been using Go SMS Pro because of T-Mobile's MMS issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386797
I've only swapped the default messaging app for gosms pro. More notification options. It let's me set the LED notification color, change the vibrate pattern and a few other things.
Hey guys I am wondering if anyone has went to the nightly builds of CM9 and if so does the SMS app in CM9 for the SIII support emoji's. It seems like a stupid question but I don't want to go to a third party SMS app but I want emoji support does anyone else know of a way to do this. Note: I will not go to the system font way I want full emoji support.
Any suggestions on simple good messaging apps..... I liked my iPhones texting with bubbles and simple interface. Any one I have tried is either buggy or slow... I am running Cm10 latest nightly. I want something that works like the stock app with popup and status bar notifications but nicer and friendlier with real emoji support not android looking Smiley's. It seems some times I get interference between the stock and new one. Is there just a different theme or skin I could use for stock messaging?
Try handcent that should be what your looking for

ChompSMS is the best I've found that resembled my iPhone (but better!). Great Emjoi support (just got updated for the iOS 6 ones--can show ASCII, iPhone, or Android), simple, and the best pop-up alert I've ever seen (i.e. customizable).
It's cleaner and less bloated than Go SMS Pro and Handcen, IMO.
Hey im on Slimbean rom 2.7 (JB) for the at&t SGSIII and I was wondering if it is possible to use emojis like on ios on twitter or is there an emoji keyboard for android with the ios emojis? I saw in the messaging app for Slimbean there's an insert emojis option and it has all the emojis available on apple products. So is there a keyboard that contains emojis like on ios which anyone with iphones can see?
