(Q): any good dialer out there?

I want to add CM6 dialer to my docrom, Its a mess to get it running tho. Any other lightweight alternative dialer out?

Dialer One (Market)
I use it a lot and is very good (T9 search is very good).
Made by some russian guy.

transparent
one of darkys rom had a transparent stock one i use that now on your rom

how can i get that transparent dialer from darkys rom to use in another rom?

i dont know how to upload a file on here but if you got email ill send the apk to u. then all u do is use root explorer and copy the file into system/apps and overwright the one whats already there. if it dont let u then click the r/o button at the top and try again and it will work, then bingo u have transparent keyboard

Just tried to install this but it asked if I wanted to uninstall the stock one? Don't really want to do that as I may never get it back.

if you want the old one back just have the apk saved and do the same again with the stock apk

cruznec linked you to a good page but it makes no difference weather you do it as a zip of mount it urself. the zip will do the same it will replace ur stock with the transparent dialer

@tehpriest....
before installing mine.......get a backup of the original one using root explorer.....copy it from system/app into ur sdcard........
u got it backed up......
now if u wish to go back then just replace the apk frm my zip file with the backup apk and flash it

[MOD][XPERIA 2012][ICS]InfiniteView mod

Found this mod in the SXS forum.
Modded InfiniteView.apk that allows for full screen contact image in contacts and full (top half) image in dialer.
In contacts infinite view the square image tends to get stretched, but in dialer it shows up correctly.
It's actually pretty nice. This modded app from the S is smaller than our stock version so I'm not sure of the differences in base functions but it seems like everything is there.
The mod is packaged as an install bat for the S. I extracted the apk and installed manually.
Always backup before overwriting. Use at your own risk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919742

Root needed?

Yes, since it's replacing a system app.

Cool, I was disappointed coming from the Vivid which had full image icon. Thanks for the find. It's amazing how much I learned about android system with all the mods cuz not a lot of devs for our device.

Back up your old InfiniteView.
Copy the modded InfiniteView to /system.
Change permissions to rw- r-- r--
Copy/move the modded InfiniteView to /system/apps (this will overwrite your original)
Reboot.

Using your explorer, randomly pick any app and see its permission. Make the permission of the modded InfiniteView app similar to that app.

thanks, I didn't see it, sorry

any reason this would not work with the OC'd 3.7 firmware? I remember this working on 2.68 a couple of months ago, then i reflashed the rom, tried the mod a couple of days ago and there is no change. Checked and rechecked permissions, did everything in these comments..

Thanks for the app
Gonna use it tonight!

Changing battery icon

hi does anyone one know how to install custom battery icons through Rom Toolbox Pro app as it doesn't seem to work for me when I press install. I am rooted and currently using the Omega rom.

In Simplistic Framework (paid version) its very easy

thank you for the reply, I have tried the android Simplistic control app and still the same when I try to change its still the same blue circle battery icon that came with the Omega rom, I did notice something strange, when it comes to a certain percentage it would show the custom icon I installed then disappear after that. Any idea what the problem is??

You could always edit the battery icons yourself. Just paste the wanted battery icons into SystemUI.apk where the battery icons are supposed to be and push it into /system/app with the correct permissions and voila you're done.
Doing this quite often when there are themes I want to apply but they don't come in CWM flashable zip for the rom I'm using

Its not only about installing the SF app, you'll have to flash its content as well that is when you make changes on the control app it will reflect.

Just copy the systemui API from your system/app folder to your sdcard and open it using 7zip or similar program on your PC. Locate the icon files within the app, most likely under res/drawable/hdpi or xhdpi and copy the icon you want straight into the apk and overwrite. No need to extract the apk. Note this only works when replacing images. If you want 1% battery, you'll have to edit some xmls as well (dunno which one though).
And just copy the apk back to where you found it and give it the correct permission (644) and reboot.

Dark MMS.apk for 4.2.2

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745830
A while ago I tried to find a fix for using dark themes (saves battery life) but MMS text always turned out black on black. Making it unreadable.
So after a some investigations I am happy to say I have a fix that works with sending images
The CM10.1 version works with Shpongle for me fine so far.

Just tried this one, with much better effect, works better with more themes
https://www.box.com/s/zpaxiyp3dehrmdw9n66m

i use the one from black jelly 2.2

Curious,
just installed this and the icon on the homescreen is still that green default native app one.
I really dig that ics colored icon, is there a way to change it within the app as opposed to using something like desktop visualizer? I'm looking for it to install that icon by default.
I know i can decompile the apk and change it that way. But I'm prepping to do a reinstall on my pc and don't want to install an apk tool till after.
If not that's cool, just figured I'd ask

i dont think u can change the Icon of the Messages app ... the icons come from Framework-res.apk .. you have to change it there or use a theme :good::fingers-crossed:

Here's another hmm for y'all. And I'll mention that I pulled the native mms apk from the phone first.
Does anybody have the app going back to the light colors after a reboot? I still have the native apk but it's on my sd card. So I can't see where it could be influencing the dark apk. But sure as the sun rises in the east, when I have to reboot for some reason it reverts. If I reinstall the dark apk it all goes back to what is supposed to be, and I retain all my messages. Just curious if it's just me. Or something I did

Oh, figured out how to get the ics icon to show on your homescreen.
Before you flash your Rom, go into system/app and pull the green mms.apk, and replace it with the dark version. When the phone boots it'll use that apk and viola. Ics icon and dark mms.
Hope this helps somebody. Personally I think the dark version actually sends the msgs faster. Maybe it's in my head, but it sure felt that way,
Update: for clarification, this needs to be done on your pc. Don't have to unzip the file or anything, just open it as you would a normal file/folder. I is definitely say to do this before transferring the Rom file to you device. It seems to take forever otherwise. Plus one on the phone, it seems you can't change the name of the file. Which I'd definitely recommend. Just name it "mms.apk" the device seems to take care of the permission stuff itself.

Using root explorer you can just paste it into the system/app folder, also if you use Titanium backup then once its installed you can incorporate the update into the rom. This means it will always boot with your new .apk
I have just installed the BlackOut clear theme with mms.apk and all the rest. You can install all the zips etc for GAPs as well

That's interesting.I was using smanager to do the same thing. But whenever I'd rebootthe phone it would revert to the native style. The only way I've gotten it to stick permanently is with the method I mentioned before

You need to rename and redo the permissions as well, but all that can be done on phone with root explorer.

Just replacing the one in the Rom with the dark one and flashing the Rom did it for me. No permission stuff, just renamed it. And flashed the Rom. aside from pulling the native app from the Rom zip. That is

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads is where I got mine from, there is a little variation from rom to rom but generally pretty mint. Plenty of dark gapps in there as well, I used most of the 4.4 ones in the SlimRom except for the camera which I got from a normal google apk.
I'm working on a apktool guide so you could always read and use that :angel: .
Do you want direct links for apk only to save bandwidth? or are the rom files fine?

Thanx for sharing!!!... But i cant find mms.apk anywhere... Is it in rom zip??? If yes, plz if u have, can u share the direct links for apk...

Hi Rohov, its in the rom.zip all the mms.apk s are in the /system/app folder. You can use any zip program to open them and pull the apks out. Once they are on your phone you may need to change the permissions to -r -rw -rw itll make sense in the root browser if not post me.
Here as requested is my current fav mms.apk tho.

Sorry for this complication, but I didn't try restore original state. Of course, if you have full rom backup, it will always help

I found the way how to do it, but you have to use slightly moded supersu.apk If you want to try it, just download supersu.apk from attachment and copy to data/app/en.chainfire.supersu folder or system/app/SuperSu folder (depends on, where is supersu installed) and overwrite SuperUser apk with proper name of apk file (this moded supersu.apk cant't be install). Then reboot phone, SuperSu icon will be again in app drawer so in settings select hide icon and select what theme you prefer Good luck and no warrenty with this "mod"

You have to decomplie *.apk file to see these xml and other files, only extracting with winrar (or similar program) isn't enought. For de/compiling you have to use apktool, there is planty of tutorials on xda how to use and where to download apktool
