I've been a CM fan since my first Android device, and I'm thinking of going back to stock for battery life. CM sleeps incredibly well on my phone, losing 1-1.5% per hour idle. But the "awake" life of the phone on CM was never as good as stock. I'm a very heavy user, the phone only sleeps for an hour or two max from when I leave my house for work to when I get home. With my new responsibilities at work, I haven't been able to charge much during the day, and the phone is no longer lasting a full day.
Last time I attempted to go to stock, I found a few pet peeves that made me go back to CM and carry a charger.
The dialer is terrible compared to AOSP. Google Voice (what I use for Voicemail) doesn't integrate with it, and you can't swipe from dial pad to recent calls, to contacts.
The stock messaging app is fugly, though it can reliably send MMS, with CM I get about a 80-85% success rate on my first try.
So question one would be, are the dialer and MMS replacable with the stock versions? I can easily pull the APKs from CM and put them onto stock, but before I do all of the work of getting stock back up on there, I wanted to make sure it was possible.
Question 2 would be, is there any way to get the AOSP look of the quick settings and the System settings? I personally find the Touchwiz skins to be cartoony and annoying, plus if I recall correctly, there was no way to customize the quick settings in stock (last time I was stock it was ICS though).
Any and all help is appreciated!

You could try dandroid 3.2. Its a nice AOSP themed ROM or Jelly 'beans' is another AOSP type one. The AOSP MMS is easy to intergrate into any stock rom and most here have that option. You did word it a bit odd as I can't for sure if you like the stock or aosp dialer/mms.
Never had an issue with stock dialer or aosp dialer and AOSP mms workss fine for me. My rom has some things like you mention as well. Lots of different options out there
Allow me to try to clear that up a bit...
stock dialer is non-ideal for me. I like to swipe between the number pad, my recent calls, and my contacts like I can in AOSP. I also "need" Google Voice Voicemail integration.
As for MMS, I think Stock is really ugly, but it works, so I can compromise to using it after I get used to it. AOSP MMS has issues sending MMS on a bad signal for me. I have between no signal and zero bars at my house on LTE, 1-2 bars on HSPA, but AOSP always defaults to LTE if that connection is available. So I perpetually have a bad signal at home.
Thanks for the input, I'll check out the stock roms you mentioned now, and come back with any questions if I any come up.

well I just flashed a touchwiz ROM, and no, you cannot. It really shouldn't... but it drives me nuts!
I flash DanDroid for the AOSP look of most things. So far, so good. A few things that are bothering me though.
1. The "Choose Input" notification that comes up when you have the keyboard open won't go away, even when its unchecked in the Display Settings.
2. The dialer... omg. Can't swipe back and forth between dialer, contacts, etc. The touch tone sound is some "boink" crap that I can't figure out how to change to real touchtones. Google Voice Voicemail integration doesn't work. Why or why would Samsung need to screw with the AOSP dialer and either remove features or add "cartoony" crap? le sigh. I was going to try the dialer suggested above, but it says that it will remind me to buy the pro version every 7 days, not really ideal.
Other than those three issues, everything else seems to be going just fine thus far.
Edit: It appears that I cannot make calls using DanDroid. I tried, it said not registered on the network. I made sure the APN was there and correct, it was, no calls. Re-wiped, flashed, booted, rebooted to recovery, flashed the ATT zip from the main post of the DanDroid thread... When I tried to make a call "Not Registered On the Network". Uhhhgg.
Looks like this battle will have to take place another day. Nandroiding back to CM...
suggestions still welcome.

Pretty much what the title says. Texts go through but don't show up. If I send them from the windows mobile generic messiging they always do show. In the TF3D skin (for lack of a better term) the show intermittently. I have the stock sprint rom, and disabled the sent notification. Thinking this may be the problem, I re enabled it to no avail.
Any ideas? This is my only gripe with the phone. Much better than the touch pro original junk I did have five of.
Thanks in advance.
Probably not threading properly, due to timestamp error. check at the top of your texts, should see all sent texts at top. If so, go to htc support, enter your phone/carrier, and you'll be directed to downloads for your TP2, which will have an SMS/Timestamp Hotfix to download, will fix all SMS problems.

I had already installed the 2016 hotfix. If I try to reinstall it, I get a wrong device error. When the texts do show up, the date is correct.
I don't have sense, its the stock sprint 6.1 rom.
I gather this is a pretty unique problem, since googling the hell out of it doesn't get any complaints like it showing up.
I am guessing its in the TF3D interface, since it always works in windows, and I have tried hard resetting, but that doesn't fix it. I did discover it is present in a bone stock config no cabs or anything other than what is in the rom installed, it still does it.
Do I need to demonstrate it to sprint and ask for another device? I am really getting sick of fighting with sprint. The touch pros I had were all crap and getting them to replace it with just a touch pro was a chore, let alone finally getting this TP2. They kept wanting to put me in a RAZR or a Snap. Wow, what a great deal there!
I love the Dial by name aka Smart Dialing feature in the hacked Dialer used in AOKP and CM9 roms (all custom roms?)... but the damn thing locks up so many times it's annoying.
I have my Gmail contacts and I also have corporate exchange contacts. A few times a day I start to dial a number and it'll freeze after 1 or 2 numbers. I have to force close the dialer (press and hold back) or wait until it eventually force closes and allows me to close it.
Pretty annoying.
At first I figured it was just beta and would eventually get ironed out... but it's been a few months now and it seems the dialer is the same old dialer. It's acted out on just about every rom I've tried. I suspect it could be my exchange contacts and perhaps a poor data signal (maybe?). The contacts get synced and should be physically on my phone, but my new BlueAnt Q2 won't speak the names of my corporate contacts, but has no problem with my personal Gmail contacts.
So I'm wondering how it actually works and perhaps put a nail in this dialer lockup (and fixing maybe fixing corporate name announce would be awesomesauce). At this point I'm about to just manually import my corporate contacts into my personal gmail, and not sync contacts through my exchange... but I'm now sure how this would effect the Email app autofill in.
I have the same issue at times, I have 4 google accounts synced to my phone and thus a lot of contacts sorted (two business two personal). It doesn't happen every time, but when making lots of calls, it does happen with regularity. I would love to help figure out what the fault is.
-D
T9 has always worked fine for me in CM9; I do hear quite a few reports of issues with other ROMs when they port the CM9 dialer however. Not sure what the specific issue is, but logcats would likely help the ROM developer(s).
Well I suspect it is the syncing of multiple accounts. If you just have one, its fine, or make a lots of quick calls in a short amount of time like trying to get a hold of anyone of a group, like work.
What happens is that you'll be making several calls and out of the blue, you start to dial another name and it falls on its face. It doesn't FC but eventually says it stopped responding.

I used to experience exactly the same thing. I have 1 Gmail and 1 Exchange account.
However since flashing the latest Gummy and the latest Nitroz theme I haven't had to force close it. (2 weeks and counting roughly).
I can't be sure if it's the ROM or the theme but it has been great. I make alot of phone calls as I only have one phone for both work and personal use, I must make a minimum of 40 calls per day...

Howdy,
Before I upgraded to CyanogenMod 9.0, I would get a Google Voice message notification for a text message. I'd go into the web version of Google Voice, answer the text and then after a bit, the notification would go away on my phone.
Now switched to CM9 and the notification doesn't go away unless I answer the text on my phone or clear it out on the phone.
I've tried GummyNex and CM9 and they both do it.
Has anyone else seen this? I've done the thing where I've uninstalled GV, did the *73, deleted all the Verizon VMs and the reinstalled GV but it still does it.
Don't think its related to your ROM as I'm having the exact same issue on stock 4.0.4 and have always been on stock. Seems to have started a couple weeks ago....
Been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what's going on and was about to start a thread myself asking if anyone else had the issue. Thought I was just crazy at first, but I know for a fact this is not how the app acted before. I've tried changing all kinds of things for my browser use of voice.google.com, deleted/re-installed the app, and nothing works.
I'll be texting using just the browser for a bit and look at my phone and I'll have a notification for "25 Google Voice Messages" or whatever. They never clear. I notice that when opening the GV app to the thread I'm texting in, it hasn't synced in the background, and takes a few seconds for the messages I had sent to show up in the thread. It seems as though Google Voice isn't getting background sync anymore.
Aww man So it was just highly coincidental that it happened around the same time I switched over to a different rom.
It's surprisingly frustrating for such a little thing. I just use it so much that it forces me to check the phone and clear it manually to make sure I don't *actually* have a new message when I'm using both my phone and the web app.
Argh.
Yeah - nothing I've found has fixed the issue.

Yes I think it's actually a coincidence as I said I've been on stock and it all of a sudden stopped working as it was. This is just really weird because there's been no update to the app or anything.
It's extra frustrating because Google Voice is my primary #, so I'm doing about 99.9% of my texting with it, and really enjoy being able to use voice.google.com. Dealing with clearing GV notifications every time I pick my phone up is very lame.

Even moreso ridiculous if this is a known issue and they haven't addressed it even with these several early 2012 updates to the GV app, which made it a lot better overall in UI and UX. I just don't see how it can come and go with no changes whatsoever to your settings.
Mine definitely does the same thing... I thought it used to clear them for me, but I wasn't sure, and figured I was just thinking of how Google Talk clears the messages.
Not a huge deal to me, but it would definitely be nice if they would fix this. Our best bet is to make a post on the help forums with a bunch of posts in it.

If anyone has a chance, they should make a post in the Google Voice forums here (I'll try to do it later when I have a chance if no-one else gets to it): http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!categories/voice/using-google-voice-on-a-mobile-device. I heard that Google Engineers do monitor / read these sometimes, so if we all post in a thread there is a chance it will get read / fixed.
I really wish there was a better way to get stuff like this fixed.
Bit late to the party. Just wanted to chime in that in my experience I don't think I've ever seen the GV notification clear itself after checking the web interface on my computer.
I've been using android for a year now and have gone through 3 phones and the asus transformer tablet. My current phone is running a CM9 based rom, but still it doesn't clear these notifications.
Man, I'd love it if it did.
Note: I think that if you use the GV widget, you will see that the notification on the widget DOES clear after checking the web interface (or at least it did in GB because I just tested this on my current phone and widget doesn't clear it either). I suppose this means that GV is pushing the "read" status of an sms to our phones. The notification on the notification bar, however, still persists despite this.
EDIT: Given my last test on my current phone, it looks like the widget doesn't clear the notification like it used to on GB. It looks like it is, in fact, a syncing issue.

I can confirm that it actually did used to clear when viewed on another device, and this is the intended action. It should work exactly like an IMAP e-mail account (say, the GMail app). If you view a message on the device or in a web browser, it is cleared as read on the other. Google Voice used to do the same, and stopped doing so randomly. It's completely a backend problem.

First of all, fk23 isn't official and neither is root.
What you're describing is the emergency broadcast system text msgs and this has been noted for some time across many builds.
There is a way to disable receiving these msgs.. but my brain is tired.. give me a bit and I'll edit with the steps unless someone beats me to it.

Odd indeed. Any reason to leave her on JB and not just put her back to stock official?
By chance is she using handcent or have it installed? If so, remove and use stock and test. The few same style issues on a search point to that app as being the culprit. Or if the text is more than 160 char it's not parsing correctly.

Unless she really feels compelled to keep JB it's probably best to move her back to a stock ICS build.
Well it happens even in GB Roms afrer a while hahaha so I guess its not the JB ROM and on the other side she looves JB I have brought her to the Android Side
My theory is that when signal is lost and returns...a problem with SMS occurs inside the system data thats why when I data factory reset it the problem gets fixed but idk if something can be done

If the text messages are from the same number there's a app in the play store called redlist. download the app then make a contact of the number the messages are from. Then open redlist hit blacklist choose the contact that u set up with the message. Then go to setting and turn off the notifications. Then you'll never get those messages.

It's all included... some reports say that with Sprint you need to flash, let it try to boot (it won't boot) and then dirty flash over top of it again and it should boot up

Just flashed the synergy ROM, and I could not get the phone to work. I re-flashed it several times, and tried all of the options in the setup before flashing. The data worked fine. The phone would dial Sprint customer svc for a second, and then say phone not yet activated. I had CM 10.1 on there, but that was not for me. I wish this would have worked, but I suspect someone here knows the fix. Maybe a bad download? It took 1.5 hours over slow hotel internet.

I've noticed this as well. I didn't think it would matter at all though. Everything works GREAT that I tried. BUT I found out after using it all day today, that it has a flaw with sending and receiving MMS... For me anyways. I can get on my 3G connection just fine and it pulls up websites, sends and receives emails. The phone also calls out just fine and sends and receives SMS no problem. Everything works great except for the MMS (be it pictures or an audio recording)
I've tried - Updating profile - didn't work
- switching my data connection from LTE/CDMA to just cdma.
- Wiping internal SD card (not just data/cache but the whole SD card VIA cwm) and reflash rom
- I don't know what else to try
Anyone have this problem? Anyone know what I may do to resolve it?
I've looked around and I got to the point where I entered in a special code which would reboot the phone and activate it. Too bad it didn't work and I had to restore the stock rom for it to do that process (Hope it doesn't charge me an activation fee)
Thanks so much for any input! I like the liquid smooth rom I'm on right now, but man I love the camera too much on the touchwiz roms and so far it seems like this synergy not only gives me the speed of aosp but the look of touchwiz and the note2 camera. Would be nice if i can get around this hurtle
Update on my above post
Just an update - I got the MMS to work by using GO SMS from the play store. I thought it was a long shot to install a different messaging app, but now I can both send and receive MMS! It still wont work through the normal messaging app (Sending MMS results in it acting like it went through, but never reaches its destination. Receiving MMS would constantly ask me to download it, then fail when I would click the download button.) But then when I go into this go sms app and try to download it, it works just fine, and sends just fine. The options in this app seem pretty awesome for a free app anyways so I'm actually kinda happy I had to find a workaround
It seems when I downloaded this app, that the messaging app would often forceclose after receiving a mms. To eliminate this, I just went in the messaging app and turned off notifications and auto retrieve MMS. no more force closes
Hope this helps anyone else who may be having this issue!
Have a great weekend!!!

Just an update - I got the MMS to work by using GO SMS from the play store. I thought it was a long shot to install a different messaging app, but now I can both send and receive MMS! It still wont work through the normal messaging app (Sending MMS results in it acting like it went through, but never reaches its destination. Receiving MMS would constantly ask me to download it, then fail when I would click the download button.) But then when I go into this go sms app and try to download it, it works just fine, and sends just fine. The options in this app seem pretty awesome for a free app anyways so I'm actually kinda happy I had to find a workaround
It seems when I downloaded this app, that the messaging app would often forceclose after receiving a mms. To eliminate this, I just went in the messaging app and turned off notifications and auto retrieve MMS. no more force closes
Hope this helps anyone else who may be having this issue!
Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks for this info! This new Synergy ROM is very nice, and I had not noticed the mms issue until today. Mine actually rebooted a few times while the messaging apps fought it out. I think I have it sorted now. I am glad I continued to try getting Synergy installed.
Same Problem

Thanks for the workaround hopefully they try to fix this in the next update. So I've had read that the next's update, the team will concentrate on Sprint :fingers-crossed:
The thread that you provide it, got me thinking allot and I'm afraid of restoring my phone to a backup I had made before installing Synergy Rom. Me thinking if I do something more I will end up having no service or phone number . I never seen this happen before

I guess my fear and guts were correct about my phone giving me a surprise ! Just restore my phone to my backup I made before installing Synergy Rom. Now knowing I can't activate my phone with stock rom =( Phone calls work, Sms seem to works when sending pictures and text. 4G is working but I can't activate my phone. Why? I'm going to start looking for info later on the day

Did you click the activate this device button under settings? That is completely not necessary.your phone its already activated otherwise you wouldn't even be able to make calls. The activate button is for when you first get the device it activates it on sprint's side
