So I have managed to replace the TW MMS with AOSP just fine. I would like the AOSP Dialer and Contacts app if it is safe to install over the touchwiz ones. The Camera seems to work fine and MMS don't cause force closes for me.
Also if anyone has the Touchwiz ones in case I break something, I'd love those as well.

Nit sure if it will work but to back up your files just rename the contacts.apk and dialer.apk to contacts.apk.bak and dialer.apk.bak and then rename them back to original if you mess up. Also this is in the wrong forums as this is not an app or theme so should go in the qna section since it is more of a question.

So running the beta and all is great. However they decided to include the fascinate style mms.apk. I personally find the "bubble" messaging to be aweful.
Anyone that could port the 2.1 styled mms.apk to 2.2 ?

I 100% agree. I am not digging this new style at all.
Glad someone agrees with me. It looks so childish in my opinion.

Absolutely. You can take the mms.apk out of the froyo zip and put in the original one if you want, that works.

I didn't try putting it in the zip and flashing. But when I removed mms.apk and cleared dalvik/cache then pushed the Mms.apk from 2.1; however it force closed on tapping on any message/settings, etc. It did open though
Have you done this thomas? If so can you provide the Mms.apk you used?

I haven't actually done it myself, but I don't see why it wouldn't work to put it in the system/app folder of the .zip. pushing is bound to cause fc errors. Try flashing the attached .zip, it won't touch anything other than replacing the mms.apk with the 2.1 version.

Giving it a try now. Will edit with results.
And thank you Thomas. I really should get around to learning how to make flashables lol. Is there a tutorial somewhere?
EDIT:
As before. The Subtext on the Messages/Compose new message turns the orange color, but tapping ANY of them causes a FC. It must be a problem with the TW3 framework vs. the old 2.5 crap.
Try using the handcent text message app?
You can make it look like 2.1 version

I have tried handcent but personally I don't like the interface at all. I guess ill just deal with the bubbles for the time being.

Here is one that works. I Kanged it from CM6. Flash through clockwork. And YES you can change the background to black. Change it in the MMS settings

For those of you who want the AOSP MMS app then push this file to /system/app and you should have stock style CM6 MMS with the MMS notification in the TW lockscreen. This MMS apk is from CM6 modified to work with TW lockscreen from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829273
All credit goes to "untermensch"
Thank you for that. Muuuch better.

How about the opposite.... Could you make 2.2 for 2.1?

I was wondering if there was a way to get the touchwiz phone and contacts apk ported to aokp milestone 35. I like being able to swipe a contact to the left to call or to the right to message. I noticed rujeles(sorry if spelling is wrong) has it in the blu kuban. I'm just not a big fan of the blue themes tho. I would like to stay with aokp also because some of my live wallpapers still scroll on this rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
Edit: sorry I forgot to check the question box
You could try to push them. Just rename the old from .apk to .bak, push the one you want to system/app and fix their permissions and reboot. If you get fc on them, just go back in and delete the ones you pushed, rename the old ones back and reboot.

There is a how to thread more or less at the og epic themes section
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Blu Kuban is a TWiz rom, AOKP is an AOSP rom. TWiz apps won't run on AOSP because they are framework dependent and there is no TWiz framework in an AOSP rom. However AOSP apps will run on almost any rom TWiz, Sense, Blur or otherwise because they all have the Google frameworks underlying the proprietary skins framework

Thanks for the help. I tried to push them a few days ago, but had no luck. I figured it was for the reasons Evil Konceptz had mentioned. I just thought I might get lucky because I noticed a thread for the original epic in which some dev ported a few touchwiz apps for cm7/9
Is it possible to replace the touchwiz messages app with the stock ICS messages app? Thanks!
You would have to be rooted to use the exact messaging app but you could just use go SMS pro and theme it like ics.
Nope, you don't need to do that anymore. I had swapped out my sms app for the stock one but you can now simply download 'Android 4.1 JB Messaging SMS' from the market.
Works just like the stock one I had installed.
Enjoy
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
but then it is a third-party app and you will have two messaging apps i like the OP would like to know if we can replace the stock messaging app with the stock JB messaging or even the ICS messaging.
Thanks.
Yes you can, mash here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728308. This should be in Q&A thread.
Thanks guys! Turns out you can just move the ICS MMS.apk to /system/app and it works perfectly. Renamed Samsung MMS with .old so I didn't get double notification.
I switched to the CM10 build and the new messaging app doesn't suit my tastes. Is there anyone who knows of an apk. of the original Galaxy S3 default messaging system that I can use on my new rom?
You will need to check out replacements in the play store. Almost all stock apps will not work in aosp based roms.

Alright thanks for letting me know. Is there at least a way to get change the theme for the Jelly Bean MMS to replace the unappealing green-white? I see there are APKs of the app with a theme already in it, but those ones don't have quickmessage yet so I don't want to replace my current one.
I have searched hi and low and can not find any info. I am sure I am not alone in my quest. Is there a way to have the touchwiz calendar while running aosp rom's. Love how smooth cm10 runs but really love the stock calendar. Also in the dialer and messaging being able to swipe right for a call or left for text.
I have seen themes for the t-mobile s3 that works with cm10, but nothing for sprint.
Anyone?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
For the calendar, you can try pulling the apk from touchwiz ROM and then installing it on cm10. But I think it is like the swiping feature, hey are both touchwiz only because they require the touchwiz framework.

I think in themes and apps theres a pack with touchwiz themed apps...but like Whiplashh said, you wont ever be able to get the exact same TW anything on a AOSP rom because it requires the TW framework, and thats spread out over a couple different places and files
My best suggestion for you is to flash a TW rom and theme it like AOSP
Thanks guys. That is what I thought. I can live with out the swiping in TW but I really like the UI of the Calendar as the google Cal works, but just not the same experience. I looked through the theme section but could not find a TW Calendar theme. If anyone comes across it, please let me know.
Thanks for the replies.
