Hello everyone, I was wondering if it was possible to take the Dialer apk out of the 4.4 kitkat release and make it useable in the S3. Yes, I have tried exdialer, but it doesn't do the exact same thing as the actual dialer would do.
If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Try it out and let us know. Worste case you restore to a backup you make before hand right?
I'd imagine it might work, if not the source of the dialer may need tweeking, changing the rom to work with the dialer might break other things (just a guess).
Still, try it out, it may not have been targeted to older versions of Android so maybe rebuilding it from source in eclipse to target older version like 4.1.2 and see if it compiles without error, error would just point you to what needs to be fixed on the surface, then try to compile it for 4.1.2 again and keep testing, that would be what I would do if I was interested in it. If the source isn't available for that app, maybe try decompiling it, but I have only read a little about that so I am not able to give any advice as to what decompiled code might look like.
Good luck.

Did you ever figure this out? Apparently the dialer with business search is in the Nexus 4 OTA.
The ROM I use has some kitkat apps running see this post:

So they may work.
Always backup first though!

I am currently running CM10, October 18 nightly, and I wanted to know if there is a way to change the contact photo for yourself. I have a contact in my phone with the phone's # linked to my GMail and Facebook, however it doesn't link.
Thanks in advance.

You need to update to a current rom to get any support.

Alright, I'm new to CM10, do you have to update the rom to the latest nightly build every day until a stable on is available?

Well, if you want support you should. If you don't expect support you can use the most stable one you can find. I suggest updating, although stable will be available today probably. I think it is being compiled right now.
in People, there's an entry for you at the top. there, you should be able to change your own contact details.
also: he isn't reporting a bug or anything that could be a problem related to an old, unsupported version of a rom. come on guys. he just didn't know how to do something. :|

It isn't guys, it's me. My point was, if it was a bug he needs to be updated. He might have also learned something as he is now on a newer build and knows that he needs to keep up to date. It seems as if it worked after he updated too, so I am pretty sure he did need to update.
I'm trying to install Hyperdrive RLS10. The flash instructions say to install an AT&T build prop and I've also seen users mention that you will need to fix the google client database for the rom to function properly on AT&T. I can not locate any AT&T build prop to flash and do not know how to fix the google client database. Would anyone be able to help me so that I can get this rom working properly?

If you don't know how to do those, you might wanna look into flashing a AT&T ROM first and learn more about what you're attempting to do. (Google is a good friend)
P.S.: Please, don't double post.

I'm aware of what I'm attempting to do. The build prop on this rom needs to be edited or replaced or reflect AT&T since the rom base is Verizon. I'm not new to flashing roms; I've just never had to edit/replace a build.prop for a rom port from another carrier. I've searched google and the rom thread before posting this question. I'm just trying to see if anyone else from the community would be able to advise me what edits I would need to make to the build.prop or if they could help point me in the right direction for a build.prop zip that I could flash through TWRP. I expected the typical "why don't you just google it" response, but was hoping that someone would be helpful enough to actually assist me.
P.S.: I only started this thread after I realized my original post was in a thread with little to no activity.

I didn't mean to sound like ''Why don't you just google it''. You gave really low information on your experience and such, therefor, I made a safe suggestion.
Basically, you have to change the phone model to SGH-I747 in the build.prop file with something like notepad.
As for the other part, I have no idea, and this time, google will actually be helpful as I'm sure people attempted this before.

I was able to locate the build.prop edits buried in a thread about google wallet. I'm still not sure about the other part, but I have the rom up and running on at&t LTE with no issues. I appreciate your patience. I try to search as thoroughly as I can, unfortunately, work often gets in the way.

Clearing client database means clearing data and cache in the play store app. That's what worked for me on with that issue...or loading another Google account then deleting it then adding your main one.
Verizon Galaxy S3 running RLS10 - call echo issue
Hey, first of all I wanted to say to the developers of the Hyperdrive RLS ROM, this has become one of my preferred ROMS - great stability, battery life, etc. I just upgraded from RLS9 to RLS10. FYI, I always wipe everything prior to installing a ROM. Anyway, installation went off without a hitch and the ROM runs great, but since I upgraded to this ROM, I am getting an echo with every single call even with bluetooth. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue, and if there's a fix for it? Would appreciate any feedback! Thanks, and thank you to the developers for all the work you do.

the echo is just on your end, correct?
go to settings >accessibility and make sure turn off all sounds is not checked to begin with. now go to settings > sound and make sure your volume levels are correct and sound is turned on.
also, phone > menu > Call settings > additional settings and then uncheck noise reduction. some people have reported less echo and clearer calls with this turned off.

A few have reported the same issue on the thread but no real solution beyond hit speaker on then off and it goes away. Reason that works ? I have no clue.
I would love to begin working on cm11 for the VS985! I have some android experience and used to be active here as Backwards1979 but I am completely locked out of that account. I used to work with visableck on the Samsung Galaxy stellar.
I just need to know where to begin to port the cm11 to VS985. Any help or push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

It's already been ported to the VS985 man. Posted yesterday:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-vs985-t2934822
Great to see another dev on here for the VS985 though! If you ever need help with anything let me know. I'm pretty Android and Linux proficient and I'm not afraid to do some low-level modifications to my precious G3! Adb work and leveling LAF to do fastboot work is no problem and I've even had success compiling images from source and making slight modifications to allow porting to similar variants. I'll be glad to test anything you need as well! Best of luck!
Thank you! I have been looking since bump hit and I have not been able to find it!
That includes last night and today... I don't want anyone to think that I just wanted a handout and haven't done any of my research.
Hi guys! I searched everywhere but i can't find a good way to have the aosp lockscreen on stock 4.4. The various apps from play store are always with some kind of different bug, so i was searching for a mode to use the original aosp without bug or problem with double lockscreen.
I even looked for a xposed module, but i didn't find anything...
Anyone who can help me?
Someone?
I don't think it's possible due to the library files.

Thanks, but a friend of mine has the s4 with a stock based ROM, and i'm sure he can use the aosp lock if he want... (He can choose it with aroma)
Maybe with the right libraries it can work even for us, no?

Ah yeah, it can, but I never used AOSP ROMs so I know pretty much nothing about how they work, so I can't help here.
Ok, I'll start off by saying that I have searched around, but haven't been able to find a definitive and up-to-date answer. Either that, or I just didn't understand an answer because I know almost nothing about any of the technical jargon.
Here's my problem. I just got a new Sprint Note 4 and it unfortunately came with 5.1.1 already loaded, so I didn't have a choice. I've seen the difference between Lollipop and Kitkat (and read numerous complaints), so I know that I would definitely prefer to be running Kitkat. And if there's any way to downgrade for 4.4.4, I'd like to do it now while the phone is new so I wouldn't have to worry about backing up a lot of data.
Useful information: the phone is an SM-N910P and is on N910PVPU4COG5, which I believe is the latest version.
Is there currently any known method--non-root, rooting, flashing, going to 5.0 and then to 4.4.4, etc.--to downgrade a Sprint Note 4 on COG5 to Kitkat? And if so, where does a laymen like myself start?
Thanks a lot.

+1 Way too many risks trying to downgrade. There was a way mentioned to flash any Lollipop ROM but I doubt it applies to KitKat.
Give Lollipop 5.1.1/OG5 a chance. It's got some security and bug fixes the other stock versions and ports don't have. There's even some ports like themes and Screen Off Memo that work with it. And Xposed works as well.
Development is coming along. Read the thread on Sacs Note 5 port for fixes fixes posted in the last 2 or 3 days for that ROM. (HINT: Before flashing, go into the zip archive to delete the test files in /system/etc/init.d and pull the build.prop and look for dpi and set it at 640 and replace it). That will get you started with a good custom ROM that should only get better going forward. I can't recall but I think was still yet another another fix posted in that thread.
Stock OG5 with Beastmode kernel is no slouch if you can get it setup to counter the issues from applying just root.

In that case, I highly recommend Hybrid X 3.0
The stock ROMs require a little attention. If you want to go with stock, I can send you a carbon copy of a PM I just sent to another user.
