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.
Hello I understand that with perma temp root we have somewhat limited access to the system files (after restart they will return to normal) However I was wondering is it possible to take my launcher pro and rename it, install it in the system directory- overwriting the default launcher- so that android now only uses launcher pro and it no longer launches as an App. If this is possible the same could be done for SMS app also? Thanks for clearing this up for me.
Short answer: possibly.
The problem is, some apps won't work when you push them to /system/app without a reboot, and of course any reboot will erase the apps and revert the directory back to its stock configuration. You'll have to try and see if it actually works.
However, why would you want to do this? As long as you disable the Sense launcher and MMS apps you don't want to use, running Launcher Pro and AOSP MMS from the /data/app directory or from the /system/app directory are basically identical as far as Android is concerned. You won't really get any benefit performance-wise.
Edit: BTW, you also won't want to erase the stock launcher from the /system/app directory (or replace it with the Launcher Pro apk), as it will likely cause the phone to repeatedly FC, causing you to reboot anyway. I've heard that freezing it will work, but you'll have to try it out to be sure.
Haha, you couldn't have answered my question better. If I don't see any performance increase I really have no use in doing this lol. I overlooked the fact that a disabled app doesn't even get loaded up. Thanks a lot.
I have been swapping out pngs in framework-res, systemui, system apps, and data apps rather successfully.
Typically, I adb pull the file, use 7zip to open the archive, replace the pngs, sign the apk (for non-system apps), adb push, and then adb shell reboot.
This works for most of the the apps that I'm altering. However, I have run across some apps, that when I use this method to replace the menu icons (actually, all I"m doing is colorizing them), it breaks the app. Some of the apps that I've been having trouble with are root explorer, xda premium, out of milk, and beautiful widgets. I have had no problems with any of my other apps and system files.
edit: I also make sure to set the permissions to be the same as the other apks in the folder, generally rw-r--r--. I have tried both overwriting the existing apk that I originally pulled, as well as uninstalling the apk and dropping the new on in the folder. Either way, it doesn't appear in my app drawer, and if I try to install it, it comes back adn says, "app not installed."
Anybody have a clue how to guide me?
I got xda and out of milk to work. But Beautiful Widgets and Root explorer still force close on me.
Also, the Webroot app is a .zip file in /data/app
It's called com.webroot.security.full-1.zip. I got one of my icon changes to work, but the menu icons don't change. Not sure what's up with webroot.
bump...nobody knows about this sorta thing?
It sounds like you are editing apps you paid for. Some paid apps run a check (md5?) that prevents them from working correctly. Example would be if you try to edit the apk for LauncherPro, you lose the ability to use LauncherPro Plus.
Also, if you screw up a .9 png file, that can throw your app in the crapper. You're simply pulling the png's, not decompiling and editing the xml files right?
Maybe this will shed some light on the issue, maybe not
Yeh, pretty much as I described, I'm pulling the apks, using 7zip to open them, but not extract. Then I already have colorized versions of the icons I want to change on my computer, so I just copy them into the archivel Then I sign the archive with apkmanager, and then push it back into /data/app/ and correct the permissions.
Have to post here since I'm new... Love Valhalla 1.2! I just get way too many reboots/restarts with (I think) the launcher. If I move an app around, it reboots. Is there a fix/alternate launcher for this? Whitehawkx is the man! I'll donate if it helps!
I'm using Valhalla 1.2 and I get the same thing. I've noticed that anytime that does happen, if I am patient and don't touch the phone for a few minutes, it will eventually settle down again. It only happens to me rarely now. It can be annoying though, I agree.
I think most of us use a launcher from the Market. I use Launcher Pro (I have the paid version but there is a free one) and it works Great. It is way better that stock in my opinion.

i removed the launcher.apk before flashing. put launcherpro.apk in my system/app folder of the zip file. I then added the ro.home__app_adj=1 line into my build.prop.
finally, i removed w/e apps didnt want and added others to the system/app folder. then i flashed the rom.
i dont have any problems with the launcher redraws anymore cause 1. it is now a system app and 2. it has a high priority when it comes to ram.

you can also place the launcher pro key in the system/app folder prior to install and the pro launcher will automatically be installed. makes flashing very easy should you not want to restore data. it also give you a ton more space because the ROM memory and the internal are separate. instead of only using 200mb of ROM memory and 400 mb of internal, i use 400mb of ROM and only 140mb of internal space.

Hrm...jager555, do you think it would be okay to delete launcher.apk through Titanium and manually push launcherpro.apk into the /system/app? Also, my .apk for launcherpro is "com.fede.launcher-1.apk". Did you rename yours or did you just say that for simplicity purposes?
Does that extra line you add to your build.prop put the launcher into high priority RAM? If so, can't you just set that in the LauncherPro memory settings?
I've still been getting the redraws, so I wanna try this method.

hmmmm interesting method...would this work with go launcher ex as well?
is there any way to make an app high priority in RAM, for some reason my messaging app (go sms pro) always gets killed...didn't have this problem in froyo, but it happens a lot in GB

i would start fresh, to be honest. if you delete the launcher while it is the only launcher running, you are going to get fc's like crazy. i would put launcherpro in the system/app prior to flashing the rom. i do it this way because during the flash, it installs other things too (hidden folders, themes, other things). i usually test everything out before i delete it, but i get rid of all of the launcher stuff, download ui apps, live wallpapers, and 99% of the things i dont use. like with ftw, it had adw launcher, adw themes, and all of this stuff that i dont use, so i delete it before it is even installed. since we've all been scarred with the crapiness of the windows registry, i like to keep things neat.
i found an interesting way to get the actual launcher apk, so you guys feel free to use this method (woot). it will work for 99% of apk (does not work for quickpic, tegrak). uninstall launcherpro. now, redownload it from the market. once it downloads and installs, open root explorer, go to your cache folder. in that, you should see a file called download.apk. this is the launcher pro.apk you just downloaded and installed from the market (think about it. its like your temp folder in windows). take this file and copy it out of the folder to wherever you want. this is the file you put in your system/app folder. i do this for everything. so i dont have to redownload everything. sometimes, i like to start fresh and not restore my personal data and this method makes it easy. you can cust if i ever switch phones to help someone else, i can just flash my customized rom with apps and have it have all the things i have, but with no data. its nice.
the extra line does put it as high priority (credit goes to antonx for that). i did try putting it as high priority in the settings, but it still gave me a ton of redraws on lp.
try it out and if it still redraws, set it as high priority in the launcher settings. or you can change the line item to 0 instead of 1. (ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1) i put this line at the very bottom of my build prop. i only get launcher redraws if i am in multiple apps without closing them and the phone goes to sleep for an hour or two.
bkoon, hope this helps, man

i use go sms pro and i never have that problem. did you delete your mms.apk from the system folder? if you didnt, then that may be why. mms.apk will always have priority over gosms. use the method i told bkoon above to set it as a system app and once you remove mms.apk, you shouldnt get too many closes. yes, it should work with go launcher.
geez, whitehawk, idk how you tweaked this rom, but man are you efficient. im am truly impressed with memory usage on this rom. can't praise you enough for this.
I don't know why every1 is having launcher issues. I never had any problem with it..Do you guys UV or OC to extreme setting or maybe have too many tabs or icons? btw I used titanium backup and remove even more stuff I don't use from the rom like wifi calling, google maps, latitude, drive smart..etc.
You should keep google maps. I think it's needed, isn't it?

I have completely uninstalled it before and it caused no issues for me. However it does come in handy now and then so now I just freeze it until I need it again.. It is a Huge App that only seems to get bigger. I wish we could choose what updates we want and just apply those.

Google map is not needed. You can remove it and still be fine, but i do have another map application called ndrive that only runs when i start it up. it have turn by turn voice navigation and offline map .

@jager555
Is there a guide or a thread somewhere I can read to learn how to mod a ROM BEFORE I flash it? Like you describe in this thread.
I follow what you are saying but because of my level of knowledge I need something more definitive ie what tools I would need and the processes.
I have a windows 7 laptop (brand new) and have 7zip installed. I am going to download and install ADB tonight using a guide from addictivetips.com..
I feel I'm ready to start modding like this... Flashing in fun but this is really modding your Android!
Forgive me if I have gotten off topic or personalized the thread but it seems related to me.
Thank you

lol. its easy, just open the zip file on your computer, go to system folder in the rom, then to app folder. from there, you can add/remove apks. no need for adb. you can do this in linux or mac as well. its a simple procedure that can make the world of difference.
once again, be sure to know what you are removing. what i would recommend is downloading a rom and making a copy to mess with. flash the rom on your phone, then use titanium to see what you can delete. once you know what you can delete, remove it on the copy on the computer. then once you are done, add all of the apps you want into the system/app folder (remember you have a limited space) and then flash the custom rom. its kind of fun to do because it gives you a much better understanding of the system.
i can write a guide, but honestly, i am so busy with work, it will take me a long time. i can try to work on it, but i know for a fact, not this week. i am just swamped.

It sounds easy and I understand what you are saying. It is definitely the way I want to go from now on. I will take your recommendation of downloading and copying a ROM to mess with. It is how I learn mostly anyway
I've done a ton of deleting using TB these last few months so I already know what can be safely removed.
As for the guide, hell you just wrote it lol.
I know you are busy. You help everyone in our Community ALL THE TIME and thanks for your replies. This has turned out to be a very informative thread.. I can't wait until I know a fraction of what you and other members here know.

so I deleted both the mms.apk and the TWlauncher.apk from the system/app folder...I put the GO Launcher EX.apk and the GO SMS Pro.apk into the system/app folder, it works fine at first, but when I restart my phone I get a "unexpected data error, please reinstall GO Launcher EX" error message and forced to uninstall go launcher, also go sms pro disappears from my phone and is no longer installed, without me even uninstalling it...right now I still have the touchwiz launcher and the mms.apk deleted off of my phone, but I had to take go launcher and go sms pro out of my system/app folder for everything to work fine, I also still have you build prop line added...I'm still having the problem with sms pro getting killed often since I guess it isn't a high priority RAM app, since it isnt in the system/app folder...any ideas how I can get your method to work?

Use at your own risk. I'm not a developer and won't be responsible for any damage you might experience using procedures described bellow. I’ve just adapted the method; all credit goes to Nexus 5 developer hello00.
I always believed that the power consumption is one of the most important issues regarding mobile phones. If you live dynamically you simply don’t have everywhere opportunity to charge your phone. And then you find it empty when you need it most. Not to mention that considering possibility not going through the full day with a single charge is unacceptable for me.
One of the most amazing features of the AMOLED screens is zero consumption with totally black color. And then came KitKat which put everything on shiny white color. It could be nice (in matters of taste, there can be no disputes), but besides it drains the battery you are not always in the mood to get a beam of bright light into your eyes.
So I made a little research in the direction to turn my screen back to black without fatal intervention to the stock ROM. I’m rooted, have bloatware removed, on art and so far I managed to made the following alternations:
I replaced the boot logo with attached one and removed the bootanimation. For replacing the boot logo I used Moto x toolkit, the bootanimation I simply delete from data/local/moodle (it is possible to replace it with the custom one as well).
I also replaced the Moto’s SMS and dialer with those from Google Nexus (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519733). Now I have fully functional Google dialer and both apps in black. Short manual if someone is interested (you must be rooted and have one of root managers installed - e.g. root explorer):
1. SMS. Do not delete stock app. Rename it adding .bak or move it to sd or to the computer just in case you want it back.
Take any of the SMS zip files according to your choice from the site above. Extract it and find Mms_Signed in the system/priv-app. Copy Mms_Signed.apk to the Phone – SD. In Root explorer (or equal manager) change rights to rw and copy Mms_Signed.apk to the system/priv-app. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot and find the new SMS app in the application drawer. That’s it.
2. GOOGLE DIALER. Do not delete, remove or freeze anything!!! Copy desired zip from above site to the computer and unzip it. Find both files GoogleDialer.apk and GoogleDialer.odex (if you’re not deodexed) in the system/priv-app and copy them to SD. In Root explorer (or equal manager) change rights to rw and copy both files to the system/priv-app. Change permissions for both to rw-r-r. Reboot. In your launcher (if supports, I use Holo HD, otherwise get Anycut or similar app) open activities, find first Phone activity and start it. You should have the Google Dialer of your choice activated.
I’m attaching screenshots and applications I use.
Thanks the inverted dialer looks awesome.

Would you make a version of this compatible with the standard Dialer? You realize the MotoX doesn't have the Google Dialer. I liked this one:

Sorry, unfortunatelly I'm not a developer, but I'm sure that someone can make it leaning on Nexus variants. But then, why won't you give the GN dialer a shot? It's virtually Moto x dialer + goodies. Like searching business directly in dialer or finding information about people who you calling due to the data from any website or social app?
Thanks for this. I followed your directions after reboot I opened anycut and there is no phone activity. I had the plain bright white Google dialer working on my X just fine. After replacing and changing permission and reboot it doesn't acknowledge these. I put the old Google dialer back and rebooted and it's back like it was. Not sure how to get these great looking inverted Google dialers to work.

Hi,
did you find the Google Dialer in activities? If you did and chose it, the dropdown menu should appeared and the first activity which has Phone in the name should be selected. If you didn't find that, the Google Dialer wasn't activated properly. After installation and reboot, did you see the notice that 1 application has been upgraded or something like that?

I didn't see that notification that an app was updating which I thought odd because I've inverted a lot of my apps and always got that after reboot. Just to be sure, I remove the old dialer and odex, replace with the inverted ones, fix permission, reboot, etc. Do I leave them named googledialer? I had an issue when I put the regular white google dialer on where it needed to be renamed to just "dialer". I tried it both ways though. I'm hoping I just missed something

Keeping the name Google dialer is OK. But tell me, when you say that pushing the black dialer doesn't cause any app update and you can't activate it, what about the ordinary white Google dialer? How did you manage to install and enable it? Did you get it in the Application drawer or had to find it in activities?

With the other Google dialer I swapped out the dialer apk and renamed it dialer rebooted and it was there. The file I used didn't have an odex file just an apk. I'm wondering since I replaced the dialer with the Google one of trying to install a different one is causing a conflict. Though, even after I remove the old Google dialer it still doesn't give the apps upgrading message. I.. ugh don't know what I did with the stock dialer apk. I put it somewhere but can't find it. Wondering if I put out back how it was it shouldn't cause a conflict. Not having an unlocked BL shouldn't be an issue I don't think. Thanks for your help.
Okay, I figured it out. Since I installed the generic Google dialer before the inverted one together they're causing conflicts obviously. Alone this apk and odex won't work. Got it to work freezing the white dialer but had no way to end calls. Basically I need the moto x's stock dialer.apk . I have no idea where I put it when I switched. Searched all over. If anyone has it you'd make my day.
UPDATE. Got the stock dialer back now and have the inverted Google dialer calling. Force closes after a call is placed. Going to clear data and see if that fixes it. This has become an obsession... I've played around so much that now I have to figure out how to make it work like others have.

You likely generated a conflict between two Google dialer apps. If I were you, I'd clean up everything and start form the beggining. Firstly I'd get the original dialer into function, install it, set permission, clean data and cache and reboot. Then, when I have original dialer totally working, I'd push solely the black apk and odex to the system, set permissions and reboot. That should do the job.

Thanks for the advice. I put the stock dialer back. It's one from the att ROM I download and pulled out. Set permissions, cleared data, reboot. It updates on reboot though no icon is shown. I add it on my desktop with activity and launch it. Opens fine, alas when I dial a number it goes off on a fc death cycle, the only way to end the call it's through my status bar. I think that when I put the white Google dialer in I must of done something. It works fine when I put it back. The white google dialer was just an apk, no other files were included in the download and it functions as a stand alone dialer starting and ending calls all as one. I had to rename it dialer to make it work. Something in that changed it. Oh well, can't restore backups with my locked bootloader so I don't want to fiddle too much with it. I have the white Google dialer apk that functions all as one of you want to see it. Thanks again for the help.
UPDATE: I got it working! There was something wrong with the stock dialer apk I found. I dug around on my computer and found my old one. Switched some stuff out, changed 644, then yad yad..it works great. Thanks so much for the help. Oh, does the caller ID work for you?
