is it possible to push STOCK Contact and Gallery APPS to the desire ROM? i have the KingXKxNexus Desire ROM but i would like the stock contacts app as well as the gallery as they run much quicker and are really smooth
so would it be possible for me to replace them with the stock ones?
also, can someone create a launcher for desire roms that would replace the "add widget" button by either contacts or web browser?
lastly, i've searched all over this forum, but i havent found any transparent notification bars for desire roms, are there any? or can some be made?
i know that you can push the 3dgallery apk , just find it here on the forums... also i know that with modaco's you can bake your desire rom with the default contacts... i was using alpha 10 with the default messaging and contacts and it was sweet.
how do you do that?
What's the advanced command to do so?
Also, where can i find the gallery messaging and contact apk?
Will I also be able to uninstall the HTC apparently like contacts etc? Customer I don't want to have 2 contacts app
does anyone know how i can push stock android apps like contacts and messaging to Desire ROMS so they'll get replaced?

you can just adb push and push the .apk files no need to replace they can coexist.
i know its possible for them to coexist, but i'd prefer to only have 1. (the stock)
do you think it would be possible?

Does anyone know where I can find the stock 2.1 Contacts and Dialer .apk's?
Are these even possible to install as .apks? I'm trying to get my phone to as close as stock as possible without rooting. Thanks
i am very interested in this as well, but i think we'll have to wait for root or mods to get the stock dialer, contacts list, sms app and keyboard...
i'm afraid there's only a few of us who /don't/ want the HTC modifications to Android on our phones...
If anyone finds these I'd also like them. The HTC sense ones leave out too many options and replace them with fancy icons.
Add me to the list.

just adding my 2cents.. i would love to have the stock android dialer from nexus/moto droid please.
Bump...
Is there any reason the n1 dialer, contacts and sms app can't be ported/installed on the incredible?
We've gotten a few things, clock, gallery, etc...

They depend on the stock framework and without root , they cannot be installed. I'm pretty sure that if you try to install them it'll tell that the application already exists.
ok, i was wondering if there was something prohibiting the install... thank you for the update.
bump, now that we have root, has anyone had success getting a stock mms.apk, contacts.apk or phone.apk installed?
without removing phone.apk and mms.apk from the device, contacts.apk is the only one from the n1 dump that will /attempt/ to install, but it fails.
i assume, once the stock phone.apk and mms.apk are removed, the n1 mms.apk and phone.apk will also fail to install, so something needs to be modified, but i don't know much about all of this yet, i imagine i will learn a lot, as roms are released and kitchens, etc...
but if anyone has ability, and wants to take a whack at it, or point us in the right direction for learning what we need to do, please let us know...
otherwise, i suppose we wait for a vanilla rom to come out... here's hoping the nand flash is hacked soon...
You cannot "install" those sorts of apks. You simply have to copy, move or push them into the folder with rw access. It just overwrites the old file and then it will function if it can. If you overwrite the apk with an incompatible one, you will probably crash your phone. You also have to be careful because a lot of applications are dependent on each other.
To remove Sense means removing about 90 applications since they all depend on each other. If you do not remove them all, you will have compatibility problems and a lot of fc's and possibly boot loops. You also have to make sure you have replacements for most of them. Then there is the whole framework issue. Our phones are built and configured to work with Sense and the htc framework. You could probably manage to remove most but not everything without messing up your phone. Since we do not have a way to do a nand backup yet, I would just sit tight.
If you want a phone without any residual bits of Sense, you will want a Cyanogen based ROM. It has no Sense whatsoever.
For now, there are a few good apps in the Market for free that can act as replacements for most things like your contacts, launcher and mms.
If you want to do an easy Sense removing mod that requires root, just search for removing the htc lock screen. It is very easy and will give you the standard Android lock screen with the tab unlock feature. You will, however, lose the music player and notifications on the lock screen that htc has programmed in.
Anyone have the N1 contacts and dialer app?

Thanks for bringing that up. Actually, that could be a good thing to port to the EVO.
Anyone?
You mean you want the AOSP contacts?

The dialer I think would be under the name Phone.apk but I might be wrong. I pushed it on my EVO and the unit would not recieve serivce. I think We'll need the one from a MotoDroid or Desire. I believe this is a CDMA vs GSM issue that is built into the Phone app.
I've pushed the Nexus one Contacts.apk in and it too was unsucessful. I think it will take more then just the APK's while /system is locked. If they get that unlocked then you'll be able to just run the apk but for now all the files in data/data and /data/app need to come with it as well as any other hooks these apps have.
I've lost the stock contacts (People, why they re-name crap???) while trying to do this. When I get it figued out I'll let you know.
If anyone has the Desire or Moto Phone.apk I'll be happy to give it a try.
Might need any thing from /data/data/ and /data/app/ that is assoctiated with Phone or Dialer.
I would love to get rid of the sense dialer
Yeah.. I put money on the table to get rid of the sense dialer/ contacts.... so.. that'd be awesome if someone jumped on that.
The only way I achieved nexus one contacts is through the froyo port by avalaunch.
The sense phone and dialer app was a dealbreaker for me. The froyo phone app is simple and quick.
There are already roms that have this.

I tried one of the sense removed roms and it still had the sense dialer. Do you know which versions have the stock dialer?
Can we just open up a rom zip file and pull apk's out of it, or is it not that simple?
New version coming tonight

This one as well

I think there is another I've or two that have the asop dialer. On the last one listed the contacts part works from the dialer not the asp icon which isn't a big deal just make sure you select the right one before checking use as default.

Thanks for the links... I have actually used both of those, the top one is 2.2, and very nice, but not quite ready for day-to-day use unless you are willing to deal with no cameras and some flaky app stuff. I think I actually backed up the dialer in particular from it with Titanium, but it wouldn't install since it is 2.2 only.
The second one (NonSense): I tried the stripped one, and it used aosp stuff for many parts, but lots was still sense ui, including the dialer. It is possible that the full version includes it though.
I have non tried the Senseless rom yet, so it may be the one you are referring to.
Edit: I just looked at the nonsense thread a bit, and sure enough he mentions that it has the stock dialer. Sleep deprevation must be getting to me. Maybe the contacts app was still sense, but the dialer wasn't... or something.
Anyone know if this is around? Would like to install it on my Evo 4G.
Thanks.

I actually like the stock android dialer as well, bump!
Me three!!!
Is it like the htc sense lock screen where you just change the name/move/remove the htc lock screen apk and the stock android lock screen comes up?

Nvm it doesn't work, wishful thinking on my part I guess...or I couldn't get it to work anyway...which isn't saying much...

You can't use the native android dialer becasue the HTC dialer is intergrated in the OS so you can't replace it.
but couldn't you just install the apk and then when hitting the phone button it would give the option of which to use? much like the 3g gallery apk. or is that different because the one is a system app and the other isn't?.. I only ask because I would love to do the same to my DInc.

Hey all, I am new here and Andriod newbie, but learning quickly ...
(I originally bumped this post because of same question, but after I did more and more research I finally realized a full ROM swap is the only way... I wanted to leave this post for other's with the same question that search and run across this thread... THANKS XDA !!!)
(Original post):
The "stock" Android dialer is all I want. Basically, I dont have to "replace" the HTC dialer but I want a different dialer available, and I like the Native android froyo one ...
So, I installed the 2.2 froyo SDK (which conains the basic stock dialer) and used command line abd root to pull Phone.apk from the package. I then copied it to my (Rooted) device and tried running it. I get the error:
com.android.phone, activity not found.
Obviously, that didnt work... So Im assuming like you said, its also integrated into the OS, so the entire ROM would be needed.
(Update / edited post)
No, there is not 'easy market dialer app' that replaces your phone application... Maybe the dialer front, but not the phone.
There are many cool ROMS floating around with better dialers. Read, read, read, do your research, and take the dive.
Does anyone how to repalce the Touchwiz calendar on a Captivate for the Stock calendar?

I would assume you would use something like root explorer to remove the touchwiz calendar apk from the system apps folder and install the APK for the stock calendar. Unfortunately, I'm kind of a n00b at this type of stuff so I wouldn't know where to find either calendar apk, nor whether it would have any additional consequences. Hope you find an answer better than mine.
Hey, after searching XDA and google I have been unable to find a way to install the plain, old, stock Gmail Widget on a custom rom. The one that lets you pick a folder and display it in a customizable size window.
To avoid certain comments, I am *NOT* looking for a 3rd party widget which can do what I am asking. I *WANT* the plain, old, stock gmail widget that doesn't require me to install a hacked version of the gmail app to work.
Any help will get a *THANKS* click and my appreciation. I'm either looking for an APK, or a method to extract the widget from another source.
Hmmm... actually, is the stock gmail widget only available in *real* ICS builds? I'm looking at my GFs phone, but somehow I remember it being on the stock ATT rom as well. Lmk.
