HTC Apps - how to get them on Magic? - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Hi, I have tried nearly all roms on xda-dev. The Hero Rom rocks totally - still to slow on Magic...hope for some optimized Roms.
But, what about the great htc apps from Hero? there must be a way to get them on other roms... One has to be able to export them.
With the HTC apps you have not to much of this google-stuff onboard, possible to have your OWN calender and contacts etc. You have Ms Exchange and many more options...like taking of 3g-connection! No words about the camera, it's rockin!!!
So would be great to have some guys thinking the same and want to do something about that.

The main thing preventing the apps from being ported directly are the Hero specific add dependencies. The apps seem to make require different libraries than other roms, probably due to the high level of integration with Rosie and the Hero rom. As an example, Peep won't install since it's missing shared libraries.
Maybe once we can understand how the Hero rom is structured better, then we can start porting apps.

How about this as a starting point
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530572
Seems like a good place to start, I might have a go later if I have time, sure there is someone else who'll give it a crack.
My personal favs to port would be the music player, the browser, and maybe people. At least we'll have flash in October anyway so thats not worth it yet

Cyanogen has the Camera ported perfectly to his build for the Dream. I think we NEED this ported to the Sapphire. SOON!
Anyone know what dependencies we need?

I ported hero´s camera to ION ROM, but when you try to play a video in the gallery force closes.

Have your Cupcake and Eat It Too (today's cupcake build)

As you may know, Google merged their internal branch with Cupcake today. I built the image for dream and published it on my site. Have fun:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2009/04/have-you-cupcake-and-eat-it-too.html
How about some screenshots of the differences? I would like to see what is different from the sapphire builds.
I would guess that you've flashed this to an actual handset.
I won't have a chance to play with this for the next few days, so I'm curious to know how your "clean" cupcake build compares to Haykuro's Magic builds in terms of features (Exchange support, etc) and hardware support (WiFi/BT/radio/etc).
If I DO get a chance I may play around with this, I'm curious. Thanks for the info!
Yeah, I have flashed it. This is a build of the Android code that was only just committed upstream today. It is not in any Haykuro build yet AFAIK. It's not a "usable" build by any means (no Google apps), but it's fun to see what will be coming down to our phone in a matter of weeks.
I am just wondering what you meant by ui changes. Are we talking about a different notification bar or something?
Good work!
I will wait a bit before I put cupcake on my ADP1, but still cool that Google has made the merge.
Ive been playing around with the latest Cupcake build on my Touch Pro and indeed, the changes are significant.
The changes cupcake brings can be found here
You got Android working on your HTC Touch Pro???
What on earth makes you come to that conclusion
Erm, yeah.. We have been working on porting Android to the Touch Pro and Diamond for more than 5 months. Check htc-android.com, htc-linux.org/wiki or even the topic here at XDA (which isnt active anymore, here.
Neccesary files can be downloaded over at connect-utb.com
I have the master build running, I compiled the kernel and wifi, and took all the google apps from the 502h and every thing is working as expected, just lost the LED notification, even when charging I am not seeing the LED light, else every thing is working, Maps, YouTube, market[just not able to download app, its stuck and downloading], but its all working, gmail, contacts and calender sync[but have to deploy all the closed source into it]
Thanks,
Pramod
PS: Compiled the 2.6.29 kernel but not able to make the wifi compiled with it.
Wow sounds very interesting, might have to flash just to take a look.

Everything looks the same as haykuros build 4.5 without google apps, only thing i see different is the dev tools is now spare parts with different options.

Nothing is special but I think this build can run more smooth than haykuro 4.5. because it doesn't include Google apps so I will not flash it

Either its faster than haykuro 4.5 or its not.
Is it faster?
lol @ dwang..... maybe wiki the word "smooth" haha
When something runs smoothly vs something running sluggish and slow there's a differenece
Smooth means fast yes.....
Runs about the same to me, meaning if you add google apps it will surely run slower then haykuros build. Also many bugs browser gives error and wont load, camera and video recorder force-closes, auto rotate does not work blah blah list goes on lol...

I don't think that was lost on dwang. I think he was referring to the entire sentence, which seems to contradict itself. By saying it'll run smooth, but then saying he will not flash it.
Nifty. I wish I had a spare device to play around with it. I may just have to install the emulator so I can mess with this stuff, I find it very interesting.

Not 100% sure, but this loads faster on mine. I "overclock" to slow to save battery haha but I didn't notice a difference running hr3. I've been going back and forth trying to get what I need. The blue lock screen overlay is actually the MAIN reason I am doing this. Stupid, huh?
Key factor may be that I DID update the radio.
I did leave out superuser, spare parts, and anything else that can be installed normally for those who don't want them. I change my mind about apps hourly so I try to keep default installs as clean as possible to avoid troublesome adb commands.
This sounds very intersting. Does it include the Exchange integration from the 5.0H build?
This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for... soon as you get locked down which apps ur keeping, I'm on it.
Sounds great twisted. I'm in love with 5.0.2H because of the mail app and pdfviewer. Yesterday I stepped up to ADP1.5 and although it was fast, it's missing these key components that I use daily. I look forward to you app log.
This is really interesting. I can't wait to hear(read) thee results. Lol

It currently has the 5.0.2 exchange. I saw no point in taking it out. I don't use it but I know it's far easier to remove system components like that than it is to implement them once an update is installed.
So far I see no real difference in Gmail. Mail seems to crash for me in 1.5 with something about a Plus account - looks like 5.0.2 mail stays. Maps and Market will be updated because I see no reason not to.
Any thoughts on Gmail? Anyone see any updates worth having?
Can you put the H build camera in the build instead of the 1.5.3 camera? The HTC camera was far superior than the google implementation. That's all I can think of so far

H camera crashed when using the camera button. The one I'm using is the one from the "add features to 5.0.xH" thread. Seems to be the most stable and all you really lose is zoom. Forgot to take out additional HTCAlbum, though. Planning to fix this and some other updates when I get back to my hideout. If I can remap the H camera button I will get that in there, but that takes a little longer than just swapping apks.

everything seems to work. not seeing the multi-touch...suppose to be there right. not a big deal, just testing out the version.
How is this going?
Still developing the build?
Looks great, and appears to fit me perfectly!
However, what is the difference between the two builds that you link to in your first post?
Is the 5.0.2hr5-twisted.zip the normal version, while the 5.0.2hr5a-twisted.zip is the Apps2SD version?

Sorry apps2sd is still coming. Having technical difficulties with getting both my G1 and computer to recognize the same partitions. The new version has the Andreoid keyboard included along with updates to youtube, maps, and market. The slider problem still exists for a day or two. Wanted to get the new market in place because I isolated the market download issue to have been cooperation between market and launcher. Now that the new market accepts downloads I can fix launcher. Expect updates tomorrow. I have a 4-hour block of boredom. Hehe.

Still isolating libs and such. JesusFreke redid the kernel so the program alone was not enough. Didn't think that far ahead when I was throwing parts together. I'm learning as I tear apart the 7 builds on my desktop. I just have to teach myself as I go.
Open source never meant well-documented.
Plans are in the works to go backwards from the HTC build, but like most others I need something to default back to when I'm not testing. Building this version was first priority with that being my next step. That is when the speed increases will occur with some new features. Can't say I'm not a dreamer, right?

Possible to 'port' Dream-apps to other phones?

This has been on my mind for a long time. I hope I will get a definitive answer in this topic.
I am quite fond of the HTC Dream, but I got a Hero because my carrier did not have the Dream. To my disappointment, almost every application was skinned by HTC. The music player, the lock-screen, the message-application, almost everything.
The browser even had some functionality removed, although it gained 'pinch to zoom'. Also the photo app is a lot slower, and the music player is very clumsy compared to the Dream player.
-Is it possible to port these applications to other android phones, in this case the HTC Hero?
-If so, would it be difficult?
Here is a list of the 'applications' that I confirmed as skinned by HTC:
-sms application
-music player
-calendar
-browser
-lock screen
-cellphone /dialer application
-contact list
-camera application
-albums application
I understand that the Hero is at 1.5, thus it would require the corresponding 1.5 Dream applications.
I ask this in the Dream forum, because you obviously have experience with the Dream, and also a very good understanding of how android works. Thanks for reading this!
Grab a 1.5 rom and try to install the apps.
You do realize that this is a feature of the hero and senseUI correct?

It would be possible, you would just to have the corresponding apps from a 1.5 dream rom. You would lose all of the features that the skinned one's have though. It also would not be possible without root access as you would need to replace system apps, which need elevated permissions

In the Hero forum, a developer was claiming that this would not be possible, because the Dream apps use a custom framework, which the Hero lacks. He (literary) said they would never be fully functional or stable
But root access, plus replacing the app should suffice?

i have run many hero roms and had no issues installing older apk files from my G1. this has never been a problem. I am now running 2.0 and most of the widgets that i was able to run on hero i cannot run on here so in a word "no" they are probably not compatible. im thinking of going back to my hero =(

It should yes, you would grab the Browser.apk from a cupcake build and push it to something like /system/app or /data/app_s or /system/sd/app_s or /data/app_int depending on what rom you're running
You MIGHT be able to use the early,non Sense UI Hero ROM dump apps.... but I have no idea where to find it now....
Stock Android?
Well, replacing all those apps should be as simple as replacing the apks in /system/app with the apks from stock Cupcake... but.... why have Hero if you replace them all? You're pretty much left with just stock Cupcake and some Hero framework that doesn't do you any good, except maybe for HTC Peep and Weather.... Why wouldn't you just use a regular Android build? 1.6 AOSP + Google apps should run fine on Hero... I don't know how well CyanogenMod supports Hero, but I imagine it should work just fine, considering Cyanogen officially supports the Magic.
I know this doesn't exactly answer your question, but, seriously... why the heck would you want to do that, instead of just run an AOSP-based build?
Thanks for all the replies!
The Hero devs have not yet produced a working AOSP-based build, which is why that would not be an option.
Exchanging all the apps would, for me, be the best solution because 1.6 is not needed, and I want the trackball to function, along with the GPS for example.
1.5 with the original apps would be a blessing.
Afterwards, I can try to delete all the HTC things that keep popping up in the memory, like touch-flo (I use the regular homescreen), or the HTC mail, which I never used or set up, and see if it keeps working (without crashing).
So my best course of action would be:
1) collect all necessary apps from a 1.5 cupcake build
2) backup everything
3) root hero
4) nandroid backup
5) locate the to be replaced app
6) replace an app and see if the phone still works
7) repeat 5 and 6 until everything is working as much as possible
8) another nandroid backup of the working "stock cupcake-apped" Rom
and if I have time left;
9) locate HTC sense-related programs, delete them and see if the rom still works.
Any tips or changes to my plan before I attempt this?
barking up the wrong tree, here's what you do:
1. Find 1.5-based HTC rom (like in rogers or sapphire phones, not stock google ones)
2. ???

lol an oldie but a goodie
honestly, to the OP, i'm not sure if you can push apps over adb to the hero. If you can, go and download haykuro 6.0r1. This is a "hero" rom, but in very early stages that I assume would run the stock apps from it on your hero. None of the hero apps at that stage were themed.
but remember, this is only if you can push apps to your hero over adb.
also, hate to say it, but the hero isn't rooted...
wait it has! mebbe i should buy one now... lol

[PORT][32A/32B][Old radio]ahmgsk's Eclair 2.1 - EXPERIMENTAL, working 3D (Mar 2nd)

For the last couple of days I've been trying to get Eclair 3D acceleration running on 32A with old radio. I was somehow succesful so I decided to release one Sense based ROM port and one "plain" Eclair. I had succes with other ROMs though (not all of them, but a few). Edit March 2nd - It now seems that it works on 32B/G1 as well, so I've added the porting package for those phones, see below.
This ROM is highly experimental! So bear that in mind. The only testing I've done is here on my own Magic - I am not using any ext3/ext4 partition for app2sd, for example, so I'm not sure how it behaves if you use one.
I've added a few things here and there that are essential to me like Market Enabler, More Locale 2, some ringtone and notification files and mixed in a few files from other Eclair ROMs to get a few things working. I've also changed the default analog clock (the Android widget, not HTC widget) to Pulse clock.
Thanks to:
ahmgsk (obviously), Kingclick, Cyanogen and all the other devs working on his kernel source, Amon_RA, all OpenEclair devs, polyrhytmic, dzo, vilord and many others.
What seems to work:
- 3D acceleration seems to work fine. I can get about 20fps in Neocore benchmark. I've also tested Radiant, Armadillo Roll and iDracula and they all seem to work. 3D Gallery works as well.
- Multitouch works
- Camera works, mostly - no video recording, though. If you take picture, it shows a garbled screen for a moment, but the picture itself is taken just fine.
- GPS and accelerometer work
- LED notifications work, all colors
- Bluetooth MIGHT work, needs testing. But you can enable it.
- Google Sync seems to work just fine
What seems not to work:
- YouTube and video playback in gallery doesn't work at all for now. Sorry.
Known Issues:
- Rather slow on startup. Give it time to start up fully, even after you see the home screen. You may even get a few "App not responding - FC/Wait?" warnings - just click on Wait and give it more time. But after it starts, it seems pretty fast to me. It's no SuperD, but still quite fast, I'd say.
- Live wallpapers are problematic and I'd recommend staying away from them. Some work (not very fast, though), some don't.
- Launcher 2 is problematic. I've kept it in the ROM and it certainly looks nice, but I've had all sorts of problems when I had it enabled, including long phone freezes, terrible lag in applications and other. I'd HIGHLY recommend just using the "normal" launcher (it's "Nexus style" anyway).
Note:
Take this port "as is" 'cause I probably won't support it much. I think of it more as a "proof of concept" that seemed too cool to me not to share it with others, but I don't have enough time to offer full support or work on it much these days. Maybe I'll release another version someday, maybe not. Sorry. I'm just being honest here.

It might, as I don't think the solution here is specific to 32A. I'll maybe try to make a 32B kernel soon and let someone test it. Right now, I've yet to hear about this working for someone else on 32A other than me
Im flashing it ATM.
Give me a few minutes
ok when you relase a 32b Kernel,Warn
Well, i flashed it.
You're right, 3D is working
I tried it with SpeedX and Hyper Space, and they both are working. Not as fast as it would on a donut based rom (looks like the frame rate is a little lower) but they are absolutely working.
Launcher2 is still a bit laggy.
Some Live Wallpapers aren't working, they forced the phone to restart.
The gallery is working.
There are some bugs (like pressing the home button while in an app, will sometimes block my phone) that forced me to remove the battery.
This rom is not working enough for a daily use, but you did a great job.
Waiting for a bug fix Imma try the hero port now
Good to know, thanks!
BTW, as I've mentioned in the first post, I don't recommend using Launcher 2, it causes all sorts of weird issues with this ROM. And I also mention that live wallpapers are problematic and you should just stay away from them
Oh, and as for the framerates in 3D - in my experience they're actually slightly higher on average than with my own SuperD port I'm now using as a day-to-day ROM (I miss Sense UI, but 1.5 is starting to lag behind on all the interesting stuff, so...).
Case_ thx for working on this
i could not work becoz my tester was on new radio
i hope u get my hero 2.1 working too
From what I gather, this is a KERNEL modification that makes the HERO drivers work with this "old radio", correct?
Could you please provide the kernel diff (patch)?
ahmgsk: You're welcome. I'm always somehow uneasy as to what the reaction of the original dev would be when I'm using and perhaps modifying someone else's work, so thanks for this
I'll try to follow the progress of most Eclair ROMs but I'm gonna be quite busy for at least the next week or so, so no promises on any other updates or more ports (but I'd LOVE to have a reliable Sense UI ROM with Android 1.6 or higher, I can tell you that - Kinglick's Eclair Hero is close, but still not close enough to rely on it on day-to-day basis). I'm glad I managed to at least steal the weekend for Android for once and got this working, more or less.
lbcoder: Actually, there's really not much to patch. I've spent countless hours trying to port parts of the Kaiser kernel as discussed in one of the G1 forum threads, yet in the end I've ended up using pretty much just the plain vanilla Cyanogen Eclair kernel sources with only the camera code backported from the Donut sources to get the camera working (but I can certainly provide some kind of diff if need be).
Then there's the permission problem with /dev/msm_hw3dc and /dev/msm_hw3dm that on most Eclair ROMs needs fixing (chmod 666 and chmod 660 in init.rc, respectively).
And then it might or might not be an issue with the contents of /system/lib/egl and /system/lib/hw (and perhaps some other libs as well) which, I'm sorry to say, I've yet to fully test. Those from ahmgsk's AME Eclair seem to work, but looks to me like it's not exclusively just those, that it might work with some others as well. I know it's not very professional (but I've said it many times, I'm no dev and certainly no coder, I'm just determined and persistent ), but I honestly didn't have time to test those different libraries fully, sorry. I was just trying to get something as usable as possible and share it with others so they may perhaps investigate further. Though it somehow amazes me that I of all people got it working when there's so many people with coding and Android knowledge WAY beyond my own here (which is not that hard to achieve, anyway)

I'll try to follow the progress of most Eclair ROMs but I'm gonna be quite busy for at least the next week or so, so no promises on any other updates or more ports (but I'd LOVE to have a reliable Sense UI ROM with Android 1.6 or higher, I can tell you that - Kinglick's Eclair Hero is close, but still not close enough to rely on it on day-to-day basis). I'm glad I managed to at least steal the weekend for Android for once and got this working, more or less.

Why? I remember in the original ahmgsk 's ROM they are working as well...
What has been changed from the old to the new Radio/SPL to break the YouTube/Gallery video playback?
As for the "why?", that's a very good question I'd really like to know the answer to.
As for "what has changed" - the kernel has changed (had to for the ROM to work with the old radio) and with it all the "drivers". I'm not happy that YouTube and video doesn't work, but I don't have much time to investigate further right now. And until now, neither did Eclair 3D acceleration with the old radio, so I guess it's still progress.
I'm sure someone will figure it out eventually.
Added links for 32B/G1 porting package. Yes, 3D really seems to work on those phones as well.
how do I apply the 32B patch?
just replace the files with the once from teh original zip file , repack it, and then apply the new zip?

yeah how do us g1 owners do this thang ...
?????????????????????????????????????????
I guess I figured it out,
download both zip files, apply zip one, then apply the 2nd one other the other.
replacing files wont work because of the files within the "META-INF" folder

[Bounty] Vanilla(-ish) Sidekick 4g ROM (Non-Touchwiz)

Given under my hand this 12th day of August 2011, I hereby post a bounty of $100 for a ROM build for the Samsung/T-Mobile Sidekick 4G (AOSP?) that functions, and will allow me to sync e-mail from Exchange @ work.
I) This will have to have a non-Touchwiz/Samsung Dialer (contacts in same window, not open a new one, like on Droid1 [Vanilla?]), and not have any of the Bull known to be associated with the WHACKNESS that is typically seen on this phone with Stock.
II) It will be running Launcher Pro, so must work as such.
III) Another requirement is that when a page is loading, and you scroll at the same time, the BS Checkers are not showing (I think this is TouchWiz/Samsung specific, so shouldn't be a problem), if I wanted the checkers when scrolling, I'd have an iPhruity device.
IV) As staed above it will have to pull e-mail from an e-mail app (email.apk?) from MS Exchange server from the drop down notification without a FC.
*EDIT*:
V) Calendar must allow multiple notifications (from the app), and actually notify as such.
*/EDIT*
*MUCHO EDITO*
VI) PATTERN Lockscreen must be the only one. Not doubled. (No Shade lockscreen 1st if pattern is enabled, I need the pattern!)
*/MUCHO EDITO*
I am hoping this is kosher to post a bounty, but I detest TouchWiz, Samsung's dialer (phone.apk), etc.
I am looking to get something like Cyanogen's Vanilla builds.
I haven't coded anything since Borland's/MS C for DOS, so I cannot do this myself.
Hopefully I can get some takers, and they can better this phone for the community.
I assume the source is out there, just need to be compiled. Several ROMs are very good, but all have Samsung's TouchWiz elements, seeking to avoid that.
Thank you for your time!
i like that you're going at! i know that if you use oprea mobile browser you dont get the bs checker boarding. its a very good browser check it out
sduvick is working on a stock dialer i believe its on his long list of work!
also he is trying to port cm6 which is helpful
im sure someone can get this working and will be easier if we get a gingerbread leak.
We can't get a AOSP Vanilla ROM there are no leak's of gingerbread so we can't get anything beside's TouchWiz but if i was you try out my ROM "Light'ning ROM V2" It has the vanilla feeling .

This phone is really crippled, even with the AWESOME Custom ROMs posted here, and MANY are VERY good.
The issue is features that were not thought about when Samsung screwed up their TouchWiz version of Android for this phone. Calender not able to add multiple notifications, or not notifying via the 1st one if two were added prior (via gmail or a functional phone), Phone.apk not having built-in Contacts section, etc.

It too is very good, but the dialer is still without the built-in contacts that is VERY efficient, and the calender is still touchwiz crippled.
I was late to an appointment due to this and the mentioned ROM.

Nice, I am treading very badly right now!
Are there better leaks with MotoPhones or something?
Those came out all the time, solid and fully featured.
(FYI: Currently running your TouchMIUIwiz v2.0 ROM, 'Tis very nice.)
I would gladly drop the $75 for a new T-Mobile phone with a larger screen (since I am in my 30 Day trial for a few more days) but no other QWERTY w/dedicated number phones avail, and the stock on those will probably have the same issues...
Sduvick is building CM6 / 2.2 i herd , but i doubt that'll be any time soon cause he's busy with other thing's prob .

Lol i just said that.. CM6 is an AOSP build
We can get AOSP, it will just be AOSP 2.2.
This just jumped to the top of my list, I shall begin the challenge as soon as my Kernel finishes compiling.
As far as your list goes, let me make sure that I've got everything figured out:
I) This will have to have a non-Touchwiz/Samsung Dialer[\QUOTE]
This shouldn't be an issue, as an AOSP build will have the AOSP dialer, rather than Touchwiz.
II) It will be running Launcher Pro, so must work as such. [\QUOTE]
I use Launcher Pro myself, wouldn't dream of letting anything release without it working.
III) Another requirement is that when a page is loading, and you scroll at the same time, the BS Checkers are not showing (I think this is TouchWiz/Samsung specific, so shouldn't be a problem), if I wanted the checkers when scrolling, I'd have an iPhruity device.[\QUOTE]
I'll have to check in with you when I get it built to see what that part is doing, I'm not familiar with this, but I'm guessing it would be fixed by AOSP
IV) As staed above it will have to pull e-mail from an e-mail app (email.apk?) from MS Exchange server from the drop down notification without a FC. [\QUOTE]
Should work, if I remember correctly it worked right in AOSP
*EDIT*:
V) Calendar must allow multiple notifications (from the app), and actually notify as such.
*/EDIT*[\QUOTE]
If this works in AOSP, it should work, never tested I suppose, but could be wrong.
*MUCHO EDITO*
VI) PATTERN Lockscreen must be the only one. Not doubled. (No Shade lockscreen 1st if pattern is enabled, I need the pattern!)
*/MUCHO EDITO*[\QUOTE]
there won't be any doubled, pattern should be no issue. (Misread that the first time, thought you wanted puzzle :])
let me know if you had anything else on your mind you wanted in it.
too lazy to fix quotes

I've been wanting to do this for quite some time as well. The only issue is being a full time student without a job makes putting up any sort of "bounty" just for some improvements is not possible.
However, I do have some spare cash and will toss all of it towards whoever breaks out an AOSP rom.
Good luck.
Meanwhile, me being a fulltime student who wants to get married, any extra payday sounds incredibly enticing ;]
Just to clarify, I want it as close to AOSP as possible.
Then, from that point, as much of it to work in landscape (EG: lockscreen) as possible.
And of course, any improvements like supercharge, voodoo, and so on.
I say improvements because I want just that. No changes.
I figure specifics aren't too important, because I can always tweek it from there or ask for what I'm not capable of.
Current unallocated money in my bank is just over 15$ xD
But with you already making the AOSP ROM, I figure it won't take too much effort from you.
I'm excited :3
Well, compiling AOSP, rather than just making an AOSP rom is very different. making an AOSP rom is just a matter of theming some things and pulling certain apps, where compiling an AOSP rom is more like building a kernel, where you have to compile the system from the source.
Whenever I see or use the words "AOSP ROM" it's always related to a ROM that is built entirely from the source code. Unless otherwise specified.
AOSP themed stuff, and AOSP apps are of course, just that. But when I say AOSP ROM, I mean a true AOSP ROM.
If there's something I'm missing, please let me know!
That's what I'm working on, theming is lame anyways, doesn't do what you really want it to. but because I have to compile it and screw with the source it may take a bit, it's my current project though and I'm starting now.
I am not sure if this helps but I have a non-rooted phone and hae "Go Contacts EX" (Contact Manager and LANDSCAPE Phone dialer) & "Business Calendar Free" (Calendar Replacemets - more like Google Calendar for Desktop Web)
These are much more feature-rich than the stock apps.
