[Q] Stock/Vanilla Messaging, Dialer, Contacts? - HTC Sensation

Sensation is the first NON-stock phone I've owned. I'm not a fan of Sense. Already installed my usual LP+, but I hate the messaging and dialer/contract apps, is there a way to install stock versions of those apps? I'm on handcent. It's okay, but they don't have an aosp theme. I'm also using touchpal dialer. Okay. But I want stock. Can I just install the apk? Or are there apps? Thanks!

I also love stock, but how could u not be a fan of the dialer? It's much more intuitive than stock...if for no other reason than smart dialing...

dialer
I do love the dialer, but I'll pass on the contacts app.
I love how on soap dialer and contacts are merged as one.

Try Dialer One. It works well and looks like AOSP dialer.

Inverted stock messaging app?

Long time listener, first time caller.
Is there any mods out there that can change the stock messaging app to an inverted scheme?
I realize there's Handcent, which does it beautifully, but I rather like the stock app, if its possible.

Custom Dialer/Contacts for CM6?

I searched but could not find anything.
Does anyone know some custom dialer and contacts mods that will work on CM 6/6.1?
Default dialer and contacts are so ugly.
Get dialer one in the market.

[Q] App suggestions for CM7?

I'm looking for some good apps that will improve CM7. Here are the things I'm looking for:
Sense-type dialer (where it makes suggestions based on numbers and letters)
a good clock/weather widget, like the HTC one (I already have Fancy Widgets Pro but that one is kind of ugly)
Other sense-type features
I like CM7, but I still want some Sense-like features...
Any suggestions?
Did you fix the fancy widget so it can look like the HTC clock

Yeah, I didn't know there were different skins, but I got it so it looks nice now

This isn't what you were asking , but if you like CM7 and you like Sense, you might want to give Ultimate Droid a look over. It's based on CM7 but is a little easier to customize. Don't remember what the dialer looks like.
Now back to CM7: the default dialer will suggest contacts as you type out their name, so I'm not quite sure what you're getting at there. I'm surprised to hear that you can't find a clock/weather widget you like in FWP. The main widget is called Fancy Home and can be themed to look pretty damn close to the HTC widget, flip numbers and all. It also supports the weather effect across the home screen after unlocking, and it has the rain/wiper effect in there somewhere.
One of the things I like about Sense is the thinner icon font. There are themes for CM7/ADW that will give you this look, such as y0rk's Black ADW theme. Makes a big and pleasing difference to the overall look of CM7 IMO. There are also themes to give you some cool things like the circle battery mod, custom status bar, etc. There are custom dock backgrounds for ADW that will give you that curved dock look (either 3 or 5 icons) similar to the Sense dock.
edit: sorry I see you found the FWP skins - disregard
Dialer One will do what you want.

no, but you know the dialer in HTC Sense, where you start typing a number in the dialer, it suggests people based on the numbers you've typed and the letters on those numbers.

Dialer One does that for you. I, however, don't care for the interface much. Just personal preference though.
I just downloaded Dialer One and I'm trying it out now...Is there any way to make it the default dialer?
Any good deskclock apps?

It should automatically prompt if you choose to do something that would use a dialer. If it doesn't automatically prompt you (with the option to make it default) then try going into Settings > Applications > All > Dialer - in dialer see if you can click the Clear Defaults button.
it does, but then when I go to the dialer it's the regular one...I solved the problem by just using Launcher Pro Plus, so my dialer just goes to Dialer One.

Themed stock msg app

Is there any themed stock HTC messaging apps for our phone? I haven't seen one would like a dark messaging app but I prefer to stick with the stock one. The market apps usually tend to lag and are ad supported which is annoying unless you buy.

SmS apps

I am looking for a decent SmS apps. I have used gosms handcent chomp etc. None of them do what I want. I liked the default messaging app that came with the sgs3.
Any suggestions on a slightly theme SmS apps? I love the stock Android app just not the look.

You can flash a AOSP rom and try out the AOSP messenger app
