This is just a thread to get this started, I know a lot of people hate the sense dialer and want to change. I also know that AOSP dialer/contacts has been put into custom roms. What we need to do is make something where people can put the AOSP dialer/contacts into stock without too much trouble.
I don't have any help to include but I'd be interested in this as well. I love the AOSP style contacts/phone app.
Can you not simply do an adb install mms.apk and install an AOSP MMS handler? Both should use implicit intents, so when "launching" a messaging application, Android should ask you how to handle the action--and theoretically let you choose "MMS" every time.
Have you given that a shot?
EDIT: I can't test as I'm running an early build of Froyo.
EDIT 2: Attached Mms.apk from Eclair. Try placing it in C:\Mms.apk and do the following from the terminal:
adb install C:\mms.apk
with the hero all i did was push them to the system app folder and reset default.

In Settings -> Application Settings, do you have "Allow Unknown Sources" checked? Here's a package with Contacts & Phone, you can try both.
I flashed the modded Mms.apk from nexus apps section and it worked fine until I realized it has a lot of mms issues on the EVO

Damn, that's frustrating. Looks like the system is securing certain applications.
I definitely understand your frustrations; I migrated to a early build of Froyo immediately because I vastly prefer Stock AOSP over Sense UI.
On that note, I'm a bit surprised we have yet to prepare an Eclair AOSP build for the EVO. Perhaps one of us should undertake that project, so we can have a clean, Sense-free build for others to use?

From what i've gathered it's possible to build an aosp eclair, but pointless as HTC STILL hasn't released the source code so it would be like the current froyo builds, broken camera and other things. So why bother build something that's as broken as froyo when froyo is better.
True enough. HTC customized enough of their Eclair build to make the EVO functional that it probably would be an exercise in futility as compared to Froyo.
I suppose my recommendation becomes to try some Froyo (Avalaunch?) and be patient on the kernel.
Just want to store the apk here is well. I'll pay to get this done.

did anyone get this working
i pushed the apps to /system/app in adb and rebooted started up and told me com.htc.dialerstorage has stoped working
and i had no reception with no contacts app and no phone app at all
so had to push the ones that i had before back on to it
(did and adb pull before pushed them over)
no luck... I cant even get android to acknowledge the apk. I can see it in the directory after an adb push but it's like nothing is installed in terms of OS recognition.
Any update on this? This is the only reason i use cyanogen instead of sense
These should work...Put them in /system/app and change the permissions to match the other apps in /system/app
command for correct permissions: chmod 644 /system/app/{name of app}.apk

Has anybody successfully installed the AOSP dialer/phone using this method? Every time I mess with these apks I get serious phone problems and have to restore a Nandroid. Just wanted to see if this in fact works before I try again.
Like what kind o f problems?...using root explorer, when i first put those 3 apks in the /system/apps folder i got force closes...rebooted...changed permissions and rebooted again...i have both htc's phone and aosp's phone on my phone...using fusion's rom

If you have Rooted your EVO 4G from Sprint and you are in need of the stock apps for any aparent reason below are a handful of the stock apps that come with the Evo4G such as the Sprint Zone, Sprint TV and Sprint NFL for all of the fans out there. If you pay the extra $30 to Sprint to be a HotSpot below is the stock app. I pulled these from my Evo and all of the apps should be updated as of November 07, 2010.

Or, another way to get some of the Sprint apps is to install a Fresh Rom and look on your SD card for the Fresh Removed APK folder.

Check back and download straight to your phone.
OK trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong here. The apps. What install methods needs to be used? I've dropped them into \system\app with root explorer, reboot, and it fails to run. I've tried installing them via just running them from the file explorer and installing. Again not working. What's the secret sauce I'm missing?
Ps- Running the latest senseless ROM.

Try
adb install -r [yourpath]\Sprint_TV.apk
or
adb push [yourpath]\Sprint_TV.apk /system/app/. <--yes, that is a period. You need that.
There is no need for adb shell. You should be able to download and install like a regular app. From your package installer.

UPDATE 3
--------------
Added modified GMail v3.2.1 for HC and GMail v4.0.3 for ICS based ROMs. Make sure you download the right one for your OS (GB, HC, or ICS).
--------------
Hey guys, for those of you who didn't know, the Gmail application now RESTRICTS access to your emails by third party apps. This basically means that any app that needs access to your email database (for example, Pure Messenger Widget) will be LOCKED OUT and therefore Gmail will be disabled in said application.
So I went ahead and modified the latest Gmail apk to ALLOW EXTERNAL ACCESS to re-enable support for apps that require it. Hope this helps anyone who needed it.
Install Instructions (YOU MUST BE ROOTED!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
0) DOWNLOAD CORRECT VERSION FOR YOUR OS AND RENAME TO Gmail.apk
1) Open Root Explorer (or any other root file manager you like)
2) NAVIGATE to /data/app
3) DELETE com.google.android.gm-1.apk (it might say com.google.android.gm-2.apk for some people or it may not exist at all)
4) NAVIGATE to /system/app
5) Mount Read/Write
6) DELETE Gmail.apk
7) COPY new modified Gmail.apk into /system/app
8) CHANGE permissions to Owner = read/write, Group = read, Others = read.
---(The following may not be necessary but its HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)---
9) REBOOT into Recovery
10) Wipe Cache/Dalvik-Cache/Fix Permisions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
11) REBOOT!
NOTE: Some apps may require you to uninstall and reinstall the program before it is able to see the change in Gmail (for example, Pure Messenger Widget)
DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!
APK Re-added.
I was having issues with regards to getting the app to show up after reboot but realized it wasn't actually a problem with the modification, but it was a problem with the permissions.
lol guess i was the only one who needed this... ah well, if anyone needs it its here, hopefully people know how to use the search
lol...dont worry dude.. keep up the great work..!!
Thanks for this! Google are a bunch of tight ass losers for restricting access to Gmail...

Thanks for this, I've been looking for a way to make LED Flow change the LED color for emails from different contacts!
No problem everyone, I will keep this thread updated with newer modified versions as Google releases them.
What do you mean when you say "mount read/write" in step 5?
Nevermind, I figured it out. Explorer didnt allow me to mount r/w or change permissions so I installed Root Explorer and worked it out.....much better file system explorer btw. Thanks for the tutorial.

Cant get this to work with slidescreen, but it works with launcherPro :s
THanks for this, it's exactly what I've been looking for however I seem to get stuck doing the steps involving pasting into system/data basically nothing ever pastes there despite me setting the read write permissions as suggested. Guy who got slidescreen working using this how exactly did you go about it? exactly as described?
Thanks so much for this fantastic hack!
Mind letting us know exactly what you did?
I ask because I'm using I'm already using a modded themed apk, and obviously I can't use both at the same time.
Took the plunge last night and flashed the DarkSide VENOM #666 kernel on my Skyrocket running CM10 jellybean (unofficial Team Chopsticks). True to the posts of many forum users, this got all camera-related functionality working reliably and consistently. But there is still no stock camera app present, even after flashing 0729 Google apps. Is there an easy way to install the stock Android camera app now that my kernel will support it?
If u have a cm9 rom simply extract the apk and use root explorer and paste it in /system/app, and set the proper permissions using long press > permissions (should be the same as every other already present app) then reboot. Presto! Camera

So...interestingly enough, I'm on CM9 (Skyrocket I727) and extracted the original UCLF6 Stock Samsung Camera apk (and odex) and attempted to restore it to /system/app (first just the apk and when that didn't work, the odex too). The camera app simply was missing from the drawer. Even after a reboot.
Any thoughts? Does this, perhaps, require the SGSII Framework? If so, is this something I can restore without messing up other components? Sorry if these questions are stupid...
--Q
Is the new camera working for anyone here?
I got the 4.3 camera/gallery apk from a few different sources and none of them complete the install process, they end with App not installed.
I'm using a 4.2.2 PA ROM and I'm allowing unknown sources. People with others phones have been saying it works. Someone I talked to said we may need a modified version of it for our build prop.
This was also happening with the Sunbeam live wallpaper from 4.3

I got the camera to work. I used ROM Toolbox Pro to delete the stock camera and gallery apps, copied the downloaded apk to /system/app and then set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted. At least I think that should work, I did a bunch of different things (wrongly), but I just reflashed CM so I need to do it again. The menus in the app don't quite work right on some things from what I tried, specifically under the 'Scenes' option.

Thanks, that worked. I guess I didn't think of that because people were saying it just installed.
As for the scenes I think the icons are right but the words are wrong.
As far as the wallpaper goes, push it to /system/app using a root explorer, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Worked fine for me that way.

I found some direction on xda that went like this.
1. Rename old gallery2.apk to gallery2.apk.old.
2. Rename new camera apk to gallery2.apk and copy it to /system/app
3. Reboot
4. Install renamed new camera apk from original folder.
I tried flashing zip and pushing it to system/app but when I tried to edit a picture the gallery would crash. This way above didn't crash and everything worked with a few following exception. One thing I notice with the 4.3 camera is that when you use the video camera its zoomed in and pixelated. Another issue is when your in panorama mode and turn your phone to landscape or vise versa to portrait it crashes.

Apart from the scenes being labeled wrong I also found out today that going to photosphere mode crashes the app.
I'll try another method of installing.
It's pretty weird that someone I know installed it on an AT&T ROM with no trouble :/
Hi XDA
CM App Installer
NEW UPDATE! Added 6.0 downloads and migrated all source to Github
Download Here
New features include:
Ability to download different versions of the apk for different versions of android you run
Better server management
More compact install process
This application was on the play store originally, but at the end of 2014, it got banned due to a overlap in the developer policy
Just thought i'd share it here in case anyone was looking to still use it! The server is still available, I just released a material design update as well and considering I have brought the server space for 3 months it seems like a waste to let this one go
For those interested, CM App Installer will pull the latest versions of the apps available that CyanogenMod exclusively develop, and give you the option to install them to your system either rooted or non-rooted. I cannot guarantee success with this, I don't develop the application, my job is simply to make it easier for you guys to get your favourite CyanogenMod apps on your own ROMs!
Use carefully! As ever, I do not take responsibilty for any damage done to your device as a result of this! The root features use the code specified in "code" in the options menu, or it's listed below. If you're paranoid, please give it a read
I have to emphasise, please try the non-root method first!. The root method is designed as a last ditch attempt to get it working, it does backup and restore your old versions but errors do happen, expect this as a possibility if you're rooted!
The list of apps available in the application are:
Apollo
Calculator
CM File Manager
Torch
Messaging
DSP Manager
Voice+
News and Weather Widget
Trebuchet Launcher
cLock Widget
Movie Studio
CM Wallpapers
Let me know if you have any more suggestions to add!
The source is hosted on Github
Source code on Github
Code
This information is also available from within the application.
There are a number of commands that this application uses, it executes certain processes through the code to copy apps to the system directory.
These commands are ran as if they were ran inside the terminal emulator, and always consist of
process, remount to read-write, transfer/copy/rename, remount to read-only, close. (In this order).
I use a Process to get a SU Runtime instance
Code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
And then I use a PrintStream to issue the commands listed below to it.
Remount the system partition as read-write
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Rename an app (use move command to move with a different extension - Creating backups)
Code:
mv /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk /system/app/AppOfChoice.bak
Copy an app from SD card to System directory
Code:
cat /sdcard/CMApps/AppOfChoice.apk > /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
Remove an app from system partition
Code:
rm -r /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
For permissions, I use chmod
Code:
chmod 644 /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
Remount the system partition as read-only
Code:
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And that is it. The process commands get pushed over the course of about two seconds, and should work. Again, I can't promise everything
Credit also goes to the Reddit member /u/wchill, his code helped with the system code (shown in the Code section above)
Similarly, I do not take any responsibility if this app causes your phone to be bricked, corrupted, broken, or to encounter an unfortunate case of spontaneous combustion. Use at your own risk.
In the mean time, enjoy!
If you fancy buying me a drink, see here!

Do the CM apps not get built with CM, and therefore if your ROM is latest CM you already have latest CM apps?
Does this work on CM11 and CM12?
These apps are quite outdated.
There is Apollo 1.3.4 though and its updated somewhere on XDA
No CameraNext! The only I'm interested in. Any plans to add it? Tried to download it directly from play store, obviously it is not possible.
I got this only for Voice+, I installed it using both methods on my Rooted Nexus 5 Lollipop rom, but I don't see it anywhere. I would love to have the new messaging app support Google Voice texts.
Is it supposed to just work with no configuration?

A question: why not just use Hangouts for GV/messaging using your GV number? I've always worried about how well Voice+ or XVoice+ work, had a few times they didn't use my GV # as I was expecting.

Dialer is very system-integrated, so I don't think so.. I will test it for you though, and add it if it's faesable, but it's incredibly likely that it won't work in any sense of the word

It should do. The apps are pulled from CM builds about once every month or so, or whenever significant updates are made to the apps that i'm aware of. There's no reason why it shouldn't work on any build of CyanogenMod

Hey there! Shame to see it got taken down, I actually used this since its earlier days on non-CM roms to get the file manager (back before I knew how to build roms). Glad to see the server is still up and now a thread is here. Keep up the excellent work and thanks a bunch!

This application was on the play store originally, but about 3 days ago it got suspended for a breach in the play developer distribution agreement, and I can't get it back on there
Just thought i'd share it here in case anyone was looking to still use it! The server is still available, I just released a material design update as well and considering I have brought the server space for 3 months it seems like a waste to let this one go
For those interested, CM App Installer will pull the latest versions of the apps available that CyanogenMod exclusively develop, and give you the option to install them to your system either rooted or non-rooted. I cannot guarantee success with this, I don't develop the application, my job is simply to make it easier for you guys to get your favourite CyanogenMod apps on your own ROMs!
Use carefully! As ever, I do not take responsibilty for any damage done to your device as a result of this! The root features use the code specified in "code" in the options menu, or it's listed below. If you're paranoid, please give it a read
I have to emphasise, please try the non-root method first!. The root method is designed as a last ditch attempt to get it working, it does backup and restore your old versions but errors do happen, expect this as a possibility if you're rooted!
The list of apps available in the application are:
Apollo
Calculator
CM File Manager
Torch
Messaging
DSP Manager
Voice+
News and Weather Widget
Trebuchet Launcher
cLock Widget
Movie Studio
CM Wallpapers
Let me know if you have any more suggestions to add!
Code
This information is also available from within the application.
There are a number of commands that this application uses, it executes certain processes through the code to copy apps to the system directory.
These commands are ran as if they were ran inside the terminal emulator, and always consist of
process, remount to read-write, transfer/copy/rename, remount to read-only, close. (In this order).
I use a Process to get a SU Runtime instance
Code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
And then I use a PrintStream to issue the commands listed below to it.
Remount the system partition as read-write
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Rename an app (use move command to move with a different extension - Creating backups)
Code:
mv /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk /system/app/AppOfChoice.bak
Copy an app from SD card to System directory
Code:
cat /sdcard/CMApps/AppOfChoice.apk > /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
Remove an app from system partition
Code:
rm -r /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
For permissions, I use chmod
Code:
chmod 644 /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
Remount the system partition as read-only
Code:
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And that is it. The process commands get pushed over the course of about two seconds, and should work. Again, I can't promise everything
Credit also goes to the Reddit member /u/wchill, his code helped with the system code (shown in the Code section above)
Similarly, I do not take any responsibility if this app causes your phone to be bricked, corrupted, broken, or to encounter an unfortunate case of spontaneous combustion. Use at your own risk.
In the mean time, enjoy!

A question: why not just use Hangouts for GV/messaging using your GV number? I've always worried about how well Voice+ or XVoice+ work, had a few times they didn't use my GV # as I was expecting.

That is what I currently do, but it is severely lacking.
I find myself switching back to the old Google Voice because it had far more features but lacks mms support.
For one it had a text message search,
2. Composing messages to new people was far easier and didn't search for my contacts in ALL of G+ (wtf is that about google?)
3. I like messaging programs that follow Material design guidelines.
4. Hangouts sometimes randomly crashes when replying to a message, until I go back through the whole process of finding the contact and messaging them.
5. Hangouts sometimes just straight up doesn't feel like using GV (...its like nah, were gonna SMS this with your real number)
/end of Hangouts hate rant
Thanks
