I found this and it's worked perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy Young (which has a 2.3.6 GB ROM). But, they only appear in black and white. For the installation, you have to manually extract the files to the appropriate directory (/system/fonts) with 644 permissions using a Root filemanager (such as Root Browser, Root Explorer, ES File Explorer ect ..).

Hi this must be a noob question, but i need to know how to replace the default dialer .apk file and also the contacts .apk file to something else (exDialer and exContacts) in the ROM itself.
Try extracting the apks from the stock ROM and replace it. Report back.

Nope it didn't seem to work!
It said installation failed.
Just follow these steps...there is a chance they might not work but you are free to try it
1.Install the dialer app(dont move it to sd card)
2.Use a file manager app with root permissions enabled(eg- ES File Explorer) and go to the "phone memory" then "data/app" copy the app's apk to the sd card
3.Now uninstall the app ....the install was for getting the apk file
4.Rename the backed up apk as "Phone.apk" (case-sensitive)
5.Backup your CM7 dialer by going into phone memory "system/app"....it will be named "Phone.apk".....back it up somewhere in the SD card
6.Now just take the apk of the dialer you wanted and copy it in phone memory "system/app"
7.Finally change the permissions of the apk as follows
--->In ES File Explorer,after moving your desired dialer's apk,long press for menu
--->Then select Properties
--->In the properties window there will be a button labelled "Change" just beside permissions
--->Then Select the 1st two check boxes in User,1st in group and 1st in other and press ok
8.Reboot the phone and pray to God it works
9.To revert back,just put the original "Phone.apk" in "system/app" and reboot

You're not supposed to remove the default dialler app. It's a part of the system framework and the results when you do try to remove it will be severe. I believe that the phone aspect of Android is integrated into the default dialer apk (Both in sense and in AOSP).
In any case, there is no need to remove the dialler apk.You just install an alternate dialler and set that as default. It's works as if the original dialler was never there.
You cannot bring over the sense dialler though since that depends on the entire sense framework.
Just install exDialer and set it as default.
You can push it to /system/app if you would like. Leave the original one as it though.

As soon as I replace the Phone.apk, it force closes to the homescreen. After I try restarting the device, it refuses to get past the Boot Screen Animation.

So you're saying there is no way I can natively replace the dialer to the exDialer in the Rom itself?
FYI: The Rom concerned here is HCMIUI 3.2 by Henry. Brilliant Rom otherwise!
Exactly, the default dialler cannot be replaced except perhaps by a full replacement say from the original cm7 rom or a themed version of your current dialler. You can only add a secondary dialler which will work in addition to the original one.
Check out the apk for the original Phone.apk
You'll find the components of the in-call screen.
cm7 themes for example retheme the framework which applies some modifications to the original in call screen.

^ How do i do that? Actually this is exactly what i want to do, a full replacement!
You can probably take the Phone.apk and replace your current one with (Make sure you set the permissions to 644) but it really won't make much of a difference. Instead, just install the cm7 Theme Chooser and change your theme. HC MIUI is basically a themed cm7 rom with a MIUI flavor, MIUI apps and stellar animation effects!
Would love to get those on other ROMS!
There's actually a fuller MIUI (gb) but it's only on beta (There are some usability issues in which the colours in some apps are FUBAR) and the MIUI 4 (ics) is only on alpha... On my phone, the Phone crashed on making a calling the MIUI 4...
Well i guess this is not possible the way i thought i would!
maybe someone can make a patch or something that will do this( maybe for other default apps also) just a thought?!

Thanks
Looking for a complete stock MMS app that isn't themed with emoji support (like the cm10 one that was recently released). Anyone have this available? I use another ROM atm and emoji support isn't supported right now, and I prefer the stock look.
Mods please close thread. I was able to solve/find my request.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Please share it with us ...
Alright what I did was downloaded the cm10 Kang fits made and found the mms.apk in the system files. It works perfectly for bamf paradigm, but I can't confirm for any other Roms. This is cm10 work so I take no credit whatsoever for it. I would like to also mention I did this with a toro/verizon device so I can't verify if it works for GSM (even though it should).
How to install:
Using root explorer, go to system > app and find your current mms.apk and rename it to mms.apk.bak (do this step in case the new mms doesn't work, so you can rename your old apk back just in case.)
Move the downloaded apk in this post to the same folder which is system>app folder.
Restart your phone and it should be installed and working.
Edit: forgot to mention that once the MMS is installed to turn on emoji support under the MMS settings in the bottom. Any questions ask away.
It doesn't work on stock JRC03C, force closes.
Hopefully people don't get upset about me replying to an old thread but I used the above Mms.apk and found that it didn't have CM10's "Quick Reply" so I copied over the emoji pngs used by Gja88 into the newer CM10 MMS app.
Since this was the only thread that I could find with the non-Android-ified emoji I will put up my Mms.apk too. This has no Android creature emojis (instead they all look like the emoji on the iPhone) and it has CM10's QuickMessage feature.
Thank you Gja88 & CM10 for the original leg-work here, please read Gja88's earlier posts. I have only tested it on my LTE GNex running CM10 M2
Just updated to official JellyBean (Polish), although rooted and deoxed.
Now again the original Google calendar (with pinch zoom timeline) is gone.
Does anybody know where to get the AOSP Google calendar.apk and how to install it (I don't want to re-install all gapps as a bulk brute-force effort)?
Also, with 4.0.4 adding AOSP calendar.apk to SAmsung official TW rom resulted in double Calendar alerts: one from S Planner and another from AOSP calendar.apk. Is there a way to solve this?
Thanks for all the help (yes, I've tried searching, but haven't found a solution yet).
EDIT: have tried the following:
1) Attempt to install CalendarGoogle.apk (taken from original JB AOSP apk files thread) from internal sdcard (fails, even if "install from unknown sources" is enabled, result is: "Application not installed))
2. Copy calendargoogle.apk to /system/app/ and reset the permissions to proper state with Root Explorer & reboot & build Dalvik cache (app is nowhere to be accessed).

Just install Android 4.1 Jellybean Calendar by Tim Hutt from the Play Store. Works a treat.

That's actually almost ICS 4.0 calendar, not the fully functional 4.1 Jelly Bean Calendar ("I had to disable a few new features from Jellybean that don't work on ICS" as the author says).
So close, but not quite the same.
I am running JB after all, not ICS.
Anybody have an idea how to get AOSP Google Calendar (full JB version) to run on TW JB builds?

hi all
i have a copy of the ICS phone and contacts apk's from here
BUT i'm not able install the apk's as the installer complains that there is a apk with the same name....
i've looked in /system/app and can;t see phone.apk or contacts.apk anywhere.
Can anyone please assist ?
Did you ever figure this out? I would like to keep my stock touchwiz rom with the multiwindow feature, but I would much prefer, the vanilla ics/jb phone and contacts app.
As the title states, is there any way I can see Kitkat Emoji on my apps, like Twitter or Instagram on my Jellybean 4.1.2 ROM? Installing fonts or something

There is a way to see Emojis on stock rom (4.1.2), but you need root for that. Once rooted, you can download "Emoji Install & Keyboard ROOT" from Play Store and use it to install the Android Emoji font.
However, the downside is that you can't see all Emojis with this font, only some of them.
Other than that^, there currently isn't a way to view emoji on pre-KitKat roms.
