I'd like to install Android Contacts instead of (or plus) HTC Contacts.
I'v tryed to install a Contacts.apk (from Desire (not S) ROM "Ginger Villain 2.1" ), but it won't install (it worked for Gallery3Dm.apk ).
anyone got an idea ?
PS: my phone is not rooted and s-ON
thanks
since this is a sense rom you are running it is not possible to use the stock android apps without root.
the stock android contacts app is included in our system folder, but the sense contact app is a kind of overlay for the stock app. it´s based in the sense framework.
that means even with root it is very difficult to use stock apps instead of the sense counterpart.
i think it is easier to build a AOSP-based ROM than building a "de-sensed" ROM based on a sense ROM.

I need your help guys and devs for one problem. I had to downgrade from wildhero (2.3.3 sense) to 2.1 cuz I needed more stable rom for a few days. I choosed one and flashed it, but the market didn't show most of the featured apps, like Skype, My Tracks, Google Sky Map, Xda devs, Tapatalk and many more. I used Search and it's the same - they're not in the results.I thought its location problem but it isn, cuz after a lot flashing different roms I haven't any problems till now. Tried 3 different 2.1 sense roms - its the same - same missing apps. Now when I flashed back this wildhero 2.3.3 sense rom (ver1.2.1) everything is fine , like it should be. I think its 2.3.3 Sense problem , somehow it restricts old android`s version market.. its wired... could you help me somehow ?? please its important to know !!
The Android market will not display any apps which are written specifically for newer OS versions on older ones:

Man , I know that, Im not so stupid...Imagine you downgrade from Froyo to Eclair and when U open the Market - most of the usual apps U can see in Eclair are misiing. Thats whats going on here.
Hello guys, the question might sound stupid, but i failed to find an answer anywhere. After upgrade 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 (I used prerooted rom by adidas http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1183684) My system "contacts" app appeared in Russian, and my calculator app is not well resized to look well on desire s. Please advise if it is possible to extract or find anywhere these apps in original IN ENGLISH and flash them to my current ROM system.
many thanx in advance
Hey,
well, I think that the calculator app is sized correctly. It's the way HTC designs it, first I also thought it's false but it isn't.
And for the contacts app, you may look here and extract the APK. Or better replace your rom with that from Proxuser if you want stock experience. It's a bit tweaked (kernel, other things).

But you can also look for Hyperion, one of the greatest 3.0 Sense Rom's I've tested so far

You might wanna try out Android Revolution HD, which is as close to stock as possible, with a few improvements, and a few apps by default that are not present on the stock ROM. It's the best experience with Sense I've ever had (Because I assume you miss Sense).
I was using it on my HTC Sensation, and it's a great ROM. Heard good things about InsertCoin too, but I'm not sure if it's available for your phone...
Look up Android Revolution HD for Desire HD on xda or use the link I provided to you.
Cheers!
I installed the last "omega" ROM based on ICS 4.0.3. I found very annoying to have the phone and contacts modules separated (with gingerbread they were together). Please let me know if there is a way to have them united as they were in gingerbread style.
nobody can tell me if there is a way to have in android ICS the phone/contacts together such as in android gingerbread?!!!
i want to know
which rom is best for htc chacha,?
have rom wp7 or symbian for htc chacha?
thank you to advance!
You can't put other manufacturer's rom on an android device. So you can't put wp7, Symbian, or anything like this to the chacha. However you can put a modified android rom (cynogenmod, etc.) on the phone. I currently use a modified version of hexgore's stockplus rom. It is based on the stock rom, that is installed on the phone by default, but it doesn't have the unnecessary apps.
