[Bug?] "AOSP" Contacts.apk - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

Alright, I have searched, and searched, and attempted, searched some more, tried a bunch of .apk's I've found from various threads, and nothing... Here's what I've concluded: (tell me if I'm right)
Any AOSP contacts.apk from any other ROM or CM6 will not work on the SK4G. I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that AOSP contacts.apk also handles the call log functionality (just a guess)?
So what I have to work with is the Touchwiz contacts.apk that someone (can't find who to credit) has themed AOSP. The problem here is that it has a -very- annoying bug: You can open it directly and it looks fine (see image 1), but then sometimes you can hit the back button and it looses the theme (see image 2), or you can open it through the dialer (phone.apk?) and it just doesn't have the theme at all. This is Very Annoying for me, looking to throw together a true-AOSP UI.
Flawless themes (can't spell "themeing") such as the dialertabactivity.apk, that works for all intents and purposes (even though it's not real) works for me, but I've now spent 2 days researching and trying to find a different .apk and I can't... Any suggestions? Any devs able to fix this? Anyone able to explain why the SK4G is SOO dependent on Touchwiz? I'm in no way a dev, I'm just a modder. This is pretty much just personal use for now, i figure I'd have to do something really epic for me to try to put out another rom.

um... why change it? does it really bother you that much, because all I can see that is any different is the little toolbar at the top...

[MOD] StatusBar Toggle options

I found on Samsung Vibrant forum the way for add Toogle options on StatusBar, but I'm trying to do the same and the framework is not similar for do it easy for my knowledge.

Here is the full explanation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=816658
I see that services.jar use images from framework I think that can be possible use somethink like this attached files for images (images from SwitchPro).
The problems that I fount is that explanation says modify:
com/android/server/status/StatusBarService$31
but I think that on HTC sercives.jar is:
com/android/server/status/StatusBarService$5
There are a lot of things different but I can't understant for the moment.
Very good idea to develop, interesting and useful

I believe these are in the CM nightlies.
It's not the same, but it might be useful.

CyanogenMod and HTC also have different framework-res.apk and services.jar, for this reason, it also easly portable from this
I'm looking for this on MIUI ROM but also, it has a lot of different code, something on common an something different. But seems to be more similar with HTC framework that Samsung Vibrant.
Another ROM without Sense here with the same MOD applyed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8761473&postcount=2431
its Defrost. Currently Nightly build of CM got it. Hope this got ported to sense though.

Vibrant Home Dock "ported"

Well, not ported as they already mostly worked, just fixed a couple of hiccups. Nothing very clever going on here, but may be of interest to some folks.
As per request in another thread, I've fixed the Desktop Home app for the Samsung Vibrant so that the one thing that doesn't seem to work properly, the "Alarm" button, is now ok.
You can grab the APK from:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've also partially fixed the Vibrant Car Home app so that the icons are centered and the "Contacts" link works. The "Search" button doesn't seem to do anything and it seems to be hit & miss as to if you get a "Browser" icon or a "Voice Search" icon as pictured below. It may be a compatibility issue with the JME firmware I'm running, I'll have a play later. Anyway, you can grab the .APK from:
http://db.tt/qN07wwk
The app is incredibly no-frills, there's no other settings or options whatsoever other than what appears on the screen. I'd suggest using the Car Home v3 app from the market instead, although this one does look pretty.
The apps don't lock the screen on either so are probably not terribly useful without an actual dock.
If I can decipher the decompiled smali code some more, I'll replace the "Search" icon with a "Music" one. Changing the app an icon runs is easy, implementing it when it's not already doing something is less so.

also this dialer
MOD EDIT: Removing nude pictures
the only ROM's that support that double lockscreen (that I know of) is cyanogenmod (or any heavily modified AOSP I suppose). and the rest of that theme looks like it was designed for an AOSP-style ROM as well.

Isn't there an app that gives you that lockscreen...WidgetLocker or something?
Yes widget locker is what you are looking for. It is in the market
Thanks you guys, this is a great alternative, how ever built into the rom it runs much smoother. For now ill run widget locker, there doesn't appear to be a cyanogen rom yet that has everything working. so il wait

[THEME] Lights Out [port] for MikG 3.0

Anyone running MikG 3.0 will probably see my post over at theMikMik.com
but just incase...
and also because the site deserves attention for Top Notch Roms!!!
here's the link:
Lights Out
Anyone not running MikG should check it out here. Def the best Sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid that I've ever used.
This theme is, as you can imagine, mostly black. Some things still need tweaking. I just flashed the Evo build of this theme onto my Inc and fixed whatever was force closing to make it fully functional. Had to rebuild SystemUI.apk and remove the themed HTC_IME.apk for now until I get a chance to rebuild. Other stuff I can't remember.
Great theme, great Rom.
Make sure to hit up the original threads and thank the creators...

urrgevo & autogeek
they did all the work on this.
I flashed it not too long ago... ridiculously dope. My phone is murdered out!

Anyone who wants to flashover/wipe cache remember to turn off Sound Effects in Weather app Settings.
I just used app2zip from the Play Store to backup my Weather.apk into a flashable zip and it saved all the shared preferences too so when you flash, sound effects are already off. Pretty neat app. I'll include all the pref's for weather in the next update so nobody has to worry about turning em off.

[Q] JB 4.1 / Modify MMS.APK so keyboard does not overlap latest sms?

Hey guys!
I've got a JB 4.1 ROM on my device (well, all of the devices released with it, anyways, as it's stock) which has a peculiar problem in the SMS app. Watch this:
( http://i.imgur.com/ZsCvsIL.png )
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
See? the keyboard "overlaps" the latest two SMS. Watch closely the highlighted SMS, notice it doesn't appear on the wrong behaviour comparison? I want to archieve the behaviour in the rightmost screenshot (this was photoshopped )
Now, this isn't a "normal" behaviour as I didn't see it happen on ICS (previous stock ROM, too). This behaviour also doesn't happen on other apps which use the keyboard, such as Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp. I've also tried other keyboards but the same problem appears.
I'm really tempted on editing the MMS.apk but I don't know where to start, it could be a .xml editing or it could be a .smali editing, I dunno.
I've uploaded the MMS.apk in case any of you wanna take a look at it - you don't have to, though, but at least if you can provide some guidelines or hints on how should I proceed, that'll help at least.
I've done some googling too and haven't found anything relevant, only this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-d1-miui/112623-keyboard-covers-latest-sms-messaging-app.html but it's for MIUI and also the file was hosted on megaupload which we all know got KIA so...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
- DARKGuy
Bump!... though I hate bumping, but has nobody looked into this? I've read it happens on other JB-based ROMs...
Bump bumpity bump-a-bump
