Ive been loking for the ASOP contacts/dialer to replace the HTC Sense but i couldnt find it anywhere. Anybody knows how to replace the app on an unlocked device? I find useless that the HTC contacts doenst sync to my Google account. Also it seems the HTC app merges duplicates in the phone, but no in Google.
With my old G1 i can keep all contacts syncd but not with this phone. I tried to flash Gapps 20110613 but it didnt work. I used Blue6IX_Mod02.zip and Bloater to remove as much crapware as i could but they dont touch contacts either.
Is there anyway to replace the contacts/dialer with the standard ASOP one? If not, do i need to install a GB ROM? I dont have S-OFF since this is a work phone and dont want to mess much with installing a new ROM if is not absolutely needed. Also, I really need to use the camera in Skype, but it seems it doesnt work on the ICS ROMS so i wont touch those for now.
Replacing the HTC Calendar will be nice too
Thanks a lot for your help
I'm not sure what you did, but the HTC Sense contacts most certainly sync with Google, and with Facebook and Whatsapp and Twitter. When I've reinstalled a Sense ROM, I never have to mess with my contacts, as soon as I enter my gmail info, everything starts syncing perfectly. Within 10 minutes all my contacts, my calendar, and even all my downloaded apps, are all right there on my phone.
I think you deleted something you shouldn't.
Sense has some negative points, but the contacts app is not one of them.
When I've used CM7 in the past on different phones, I've always missed the contacts app the most. I love the way it integrates with every major service, collates messages/mails/updates, and just generally kicks the butt of the regular contacts app.
It sounds like you're doing something wrong.

you are right, i didnt have the auto-sync on, so it does sync changes for contacts originated in Google.

Thanks for the reply, I may be doing something wrong so let me describe the shortcomings I see with the Sense contacts,
1) select a contact, while you are looking at contact details change to another app, now go back to contacts...it doesnt show the contact you have selected, rather it goes to the "matched contacts suggestion" or to the full contacts list. Even if i select dismis all in matched contacts it always brings me back to that screen. If i go to dialer>contacts it goes back to the full list of contacts
2) google contacts groups - nowhere to be seen, specially favorites. Somehow the Sense contacts has its own favorites not syncd with google. With Go Contacts you can see the Google/android favorites why no with Sense contacts?
3)Dialer and contacts show messages and call log ONLY for the native services. I use only Gvoice for calls and SMS, so nobody has my Tmobile number. GVoice is completely integrated with the phone, however the dialer/contacts is not integrated with Gvoice.
4) I also have the HP Touchpad running CM9, with the standard "People" app. Thats a Google native app, with full integration with GVoice and similar layout, why can not i have that in the mytouch 4g? Why do i need to use the Sense contacts?
Im not saying the sense contacts is bad, but i want something else, namely the Google app for contacts. do i need to flash a ROM to get the problems above solved? Or do i need to change anything else on my current settings?
It sounds like you want the Google apps that come with android 4.0 (ics). Since out phone is running gingerbread, flashing those apps will get you nowhere. I'd suggest you try running one of the ICS based roms that are available.

thats plan D ... this is a work phone (so dont want to mess with ROMs, S-ON unlocked is fine since i followed HTCdev.com instructions and for what i hear people dont have any problems getting a replacement form TMobile if something goes wring). Also i need Skype/GTalk videocalls and none of the ICS roms i saw have that working. Thats why i was asking for the AOSP contacts.apk or similar. I think it should be somewhere since my old G1 with CM7 uses the google contacts app fine. But im not sure if there is an apk for 2.3.4 AND if i can just replace the Sense files or it will give me any other trouble.

I'd wait a little till the first rc at least will start to pop out. Tbalden is, working on kernel 3 for Cm9 and if everything is going well it will be put under vinq also... We just need to wait for some days/weeks I think. Till now every ICS ROM out there is still in development...

Did you find a way?
I have an HTC One running Maximus 13 with Android 4.3 and HTC Sense 5.0
I would also like to replace the HTC Sense contacts/dialer/calendar with the stock Android 4.3 apps
I cannot get carddav contacts to sync properly or edit/add carddav contacts because the HTC version of these apps won't cooperate.
Did you find a way to replace them?

This maybe was discussed somewhere else, but I didn't see a thread on it so figured I'd start one.
I've installed Google Now on my rig running full stock (rooted) rom and it's running fine. I did get some network error messages at first, but I assumed it was a result of the permission requests it was tossing at me. Once I allowed the permissions, things seemed to work just fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045
FYI - Just read that to get the full benefit of google now you must have web history and location history enabled. It'll work without it, but won't provide its full benefit without it.
That said, I guess I won't really be using it much. A choice y'all will have to make. Here's the link:

Is voice working for you and did it break svoice when u double tap home? Thanks for the info
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Voice did not work for me.
Double tap of home gave you the option to choose s voice or search. I defaulted to search and when I double clicked home nothing happened.
I kept getting network errors even though I have both location and search history enabled. I could get weather and Olympic results quickly but when I searched for say "galaxy S3 news" it would sit there loading. I reverted back to stock search.
How to revert: uninstall velvet. Rename the apk for Google quick search. No reboot required.
My phone is verizon stock rooted with noxious ninjas script.
Voice didn't work for me either. One note: don't "install" velvet.apk, push it to system/app instead.
Also, for some reason it kept telling me units in SI instead of US. I reverted because I like voice search. Didn't try disabling the S Voice stuff which I saw may help.

There are several things that don't work for me.
As previously mentioned, voice searching is broken.
On my xoom the Google now app displays card such as weather, traffic, and sports scores when I open it without doing any searches. This function does not work.
Also, I get notifications from Google now on the xoom. The app is integrated in the os. None of this works on the s3.
Pretty much all you will get is a replacement of the current search app that will display cards for some results using text input only. It is not worth it to switch right now. If you are curious about how Google now works, just search for demo videos.

it's now fully functional (including voice). there's another post floating around with instructions.
thanks for sharing this! everything works fine!
Can someone point me in the direction of the fully working version? I installed yesterday and there were a bunch of problems.
Here's the "fully" working version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856
I say "fully" because at least for me, nothing relating to the calendar works. Doesn't see my existing appointments, can't add new ones. Voice search works fine.
So I got it installed on my Verizon S3.
I don't see a Now app in my drawer but do get it when I press the home screen mic button and can voice search and all of that works well. Set an alarm etc.
I don't see any cards though and I don't have google now settings in the google search app to change from metric etc. I flashed M6 - Mikeyxda's version 6 online/offline. I didn't install anything else. Did I miss something?
Also double clicking the home button now brings up the voice dialer, how can that be changed?
Thanks in advance!

Cool, thanks. I am concerned that I don't get the settings to change from metric in the search app too.
I realize though I should be patient and wait for google to "award" me cards and then I might get the weather settings I am looking for.
Voice Dialer is messed up
I installed Google Now and the search works fine. However, when I initiate the voice dialer via my BT headset, I hear very fast, unintelligible gibberish. When I say "Call Bill Johnson" it returns totally inaccurate results and the voice is at 4X speed. S Voice, while somewhat inaccurate, worked 80-90% of the time via BT.
Does anyone else who has done this on their S3 have a working BT initiated voice dialer?
Where are my cards!

So I guess it's been 4 or 5 days since I flashed M6 - Mikeyxda's version 6 and I still don't have any cards. I have been using Now daily to search for weather updates and sports scores from my main teams and no cards every show up when I open the app from the blue google icon. I have never seen anything in the app actually say Google Now, I just get the red mic to ask the question.
Did I miss something or maybe have a bad install? Any suggestions to try?

Figured my problem out. It was because I have a google apps (for business) account. I had to enable at settled in my domain management to permit google now for my users (aka me).
I then cleared the Google Search Apps data and cashe and reopened it and got the welcome to Google Now setup screen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744793 is the thread I found that tipped me off to this once I thought about the fact I have an apps account and not a standard google account.

It depends on which recovery your using if it acts right with it...if you flash it and it dont show up then you have to manually install it which the instructions on how to do so is in that OP
Might be a questioned already answered. I just got my s3 a few days ago, but does google navigation work with google now. I installed the m7 online/offline version but it just sits there. Voice search, cards, everything else works but turn by turn navigation.:cyclops:

I've done this several times with the Iphone 4S and the 5 cause I'm a car salesman who helps folks pair their devices to the nifty new bluetooth tech in their cars. I'm a proud Andriod user. I hate to see something that the Iphone does that ours does not. Any feed back from users that have found this to work on any ROMS would be appreciated. Or perhaps is anyone know whats cooking on the grill for this. :fingers-crossed:

I currently drive the BMW X3 F25 and have also searched multiple forums regarding some additional MAP support for the bmw office system with no luck.
I currently have a stock HTC one X with ICS on it which allows SMS support and I have tested a S3 with latest CM10 Nightly which offers no support. I am just looking for the perfect ROM which supports the email functionality as well before I go ahead and flash leaving me with less compatibility than what I currently have.
As per the bmw office compatibility it seems that the only stock android phone to support both sms and email is the HTC sensation. No idea what makes it so "special".
Any feedback regarding your latest attempts will be much appreciated!
I'm a Samsung Galaxy S3 user and I've been trying to figure this out with my 2012 Uconnect in my Dodge Durango. Still no luck. I thought the SGS3 supported this feature, there is a service running in the background called MAPSamsungService that is opened during Bluetooth connection, but the Uconnect says this phone is not supported. Frustrating to say the least.
I can confirm that MAP is not enabled on CM10 9/30 nightly. Still hoping for a dev to implement.

I have a bmw e90 lci (320d) with iDrive (communications installed). I have the same issue using my Galaxy Note 2. Email syncing is not supported while text messages do sync.
I'm using CM10.1 though and it has most of the stuff missing in its bluetooth stack. Music does not show track titles, no contact photos, dialer list syncing is missing, no sms messages either...sucks!
I think cyanogen still has some catching up to do with bluetooth. Touchwiz seems to have it down. 4.1 or higher.

Hy,
"HTC sense" is the speciality here. HTC sense 4.1 and upwards (5.0 as well) supports email over bluetooth MAP but only if you use the stock mail client from HTC. The stock client allows the bluetooth stack to access its mail database, so the HTC Sense Bluetooth stack is specially designed to work with the stock email client. All other mail clients will not work with Bluetooth MAP profile.
Other manufacturers removed mail support for their bluetooth stacks map protocol. Like Samsung did with Touchwiz when google started encoding the gmail app mail database so prevent access from other apps. This prevents samsungs touchwiz to access the mail database too.
Next step for HTC would be to tackle Calendar and Tasks which should be transmitted by SyncML over bluetooth obex.
I have an HTC One with Sense 5.0 and sms and email are working perfectly with my F21 M135i
Cheers!
Well I'll jump back in here....
I have found that for the best connection possible to the Dodge Uconnect system with the Samsung Galaxy S3 is to run 4.1.2 that is completely stock. I'm getting all contacts downloaded and sms receive works (send doesn't, but that's Samsung's fault for forking the protocol). Names are still not announced with the receipt of sms messages, she always says "no number available" for sms but can seem to match them up for phone calls. I'm guessing the contact information is not getting sent from the phone to the car for sms like it is for phone calls.
I haven't tried email but I don't use their stock email client, only gmail. I doubt it would work.

Make sure you have apktool or something similar setup already before you dive in. I know ports like these will require you to decompile, edit, and recompile apk's.

Can you please send me these instructions as well. Thanks. But what I really want to know is how to added touchwiz tablet contacts and dialer to work on touch wiz 4.1.2 Roms specifically the NoWizAOSP rom that I am currently using. Thanks. I will thank your post tomorrow when I have more thanks. I used them all up today.
Can you guys share this information? This is something a lot of people want... keeping it to PM's seems a bit un-XDA :/
Maybe it is off topic but I wonder, would it be possible to extract Samsung's Dialer (Telephone app) and port it to android phone made by another manufacturer?
Samsung has one particular feature that I'm interested in - it's native (operator supported) 3G video calls, a feature that was never adopted in the USA and does not depend on your data plan like Skype, Tango etc. I've got free video calls (charged as regular voice calls) from my (European) operator and I would like to use it.
Any suggestions (apart from using mobile SIP clients which require both parties to have one)?
I think the AOSP Contacts only works, without hassle, on the Note II. I've seen a number of ROMS with it working fine... Modstorm told me he just pushed it and it worked. On my SGS3, it doesn't :/
thats not exactly true - you can ask [email protected] personaly
when I was on TW mixed rom as [email protected] i v got issue with aosp dialer + aosp contacts :
when somebody will give me a ring (from outside my contacts) but I didnt answer
and another person(from out of my contact as well) will do the same I mean was try to phone me but I didnt answer
and after that I will try to recall to them ,phone number on unanswered calls shows to some other person not wich was calling to me .
it is confused to tell about it to but it didnt work right
assume :
no one as I know didnt port right AOSP dialer + AOSP contact to TW roms !
sad true
Yes, but it works to an extent on the Note II. On my SGS3, nothing works :/
Shared user Id seems to be the issue.
From what I've read, for an apk to use this it needs to have the same signature keys as the others...
Now, does this mean we should resign, manually, the whole ROM? Is that even feasible?
Add the Contacts.apk (/system/apk) to your ROM first. You can take it from my ROM if you don't have.
*Sign all the apks in the system/apps folders including the framework-res.apk
*Now you will have to replace all the apks your have in the /system/app folder that updates through the Market(ie All GAPPS, YouTube.apk etc). When I say replace, I mean replace them with the OG apks that aren't resigned
Reason being is that they will not update anymore because the signatures will be different. MAKE SURE YOU ONLY REPLACE THOSE APKS AND LEAVE THE OTHERS ALONE.
Ah, so I was right? You resign everything except market apks? All the Samsung System APK's?
I need to try this.
EDIT:
BAM and like that, it works An easier way is to disable signature verification. No need to resign anything then
EDIT: Download 8sms from Google Play or download from the website.

Hi,
This is my first android app and my first app announcement on XDA so apologies in advance if I've broken any rules.
I've ported the stock messaging app and then added some enhancements and changes so it can (hopefully) work on any Jelly Bean phone. This app is downstream from the latest Android 4.3 and CyanogenMod 10.2 (not-yet-released as of writing).
(ICS compatibility is a possible future feature.)
Please have a look if interested and feel free to try it out.
The Play Store link is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms
Excerpts from the app description follows ...
Notable features
Notification pop-ups
Quick reply
Gesture based templates
Emoji support
Optional dark theme
Install this app if you want to use features from the latest Android messaging app without having to wait for a full phone software update.
Usage
Whilst 88sms is a replacement for the messaging app that came with your phone, it is actually an add-on application only.
Please do not disable or remove the messaging app that came with your phone as that is still required to receive sms and mms messages.
88sms works best if you turn off notifications for the messaging app that came with your phone. Then you won't get two sets of notifications.
Phone compatibility
This app may not work (yet) on the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. If you install this app on one of these devices, please let us know if it works.
If you install this app on your phone and it does not work, please let us know. Please be sure to specify your phone model and software version number, and the version of 88sms you have installed.
Permissions
This app requires a wide range of permissions because it is a port of a system app. System apps use a lot of permissions. Full network access is required in order to send (or download) mms using your phone's cellular data (mms) connection.
Thank you.
Works great. Left my rating on the play store.

Sure, really appreciate it. after install, i open it, but one dialog box appear (it said: sorry...._ i can't remember) then escape the program. i tried several time, same thing. so i uninstall your software.
Works great on note 1
mms isn't working it just keeps trying to send and never sends. The stock messaging app works fine. I am using a Note 2 on att with a rooted stock rom
Yea group messaging doesn't work since the MMS problem. It just stays sending and won't go through.

On Sprint GS4.... MMS doesn't send on this app :/ but when I go to my stock messaging app it sends and I receive it from both apps, just a little workaround to an otherwise amazing app. Love the look and feel like AOSP! Some custom theming options would be great!
Great app, I already love it...
A nice feature that I would like to see is the ability to set the number of line for tying SMS... Because 3 lines is not enough for long SMS typer like me ^^

I will follow up and try to fix the bugs. Unfortunately, I've gone travelling ...
Hi,
Thanks to everyone of you for trying it out and thanks for the encouragement and feedback!
I acknowledge there may be a few problems on some devices ... it is my first app, after all, and it's not like I have a lot of different phones to test it on
I will follow up and try to fix the bugs. Unfortunately, I've gone travelling for a week so I might not be able to do much until a week later.
But I will follow up.
Thank you all!

Damn!! Well once you get back this app really has a lot of potential... just letting you know! don't give up man, this is gonna be awesome, I have a feeling!
Works great on my I9100 using LSS/AOKP Chameleon ROM.
Only thing I would change is the icon.
Does not work on HTC first running sense 4+ rom. Will revert back to stock rom tonight n give it a go.

Working great on SGH-I337 Stock 4.2
FC on startup on i777 running JB 4.1.2
I can get to the conversation if I click on the incoming text notification; however trying to switch to the conversations list causes immediate FC.
Great job, this is the perfect SMS I've been looking for for years.
