I want to try and replace the sense contacts with the aosp contacts to try and fix this issue. While i'm searching the forums and poking around in roms, removing and replacing apps to try and figure this out on my own, i thought maybe if somebody knew for sure if this would or would not work they could chime in. If it will work i need to know what files to remove and what files to add. Thanks in advance!
I don't have the skill needed, but the only sense ROM I have found with aokp dialer is Paul O'Brien's MCR ROM. I am pretty sure it involves some framework changes, hope you get this fixed up, would definitely use it.

Also, you may want to check ex dialer, it saves directly to Google... plus it has some sweet add ons

yeah just used his kitchen to make a rom without the sense dialer and contacts, adding the others. Its almost done now. hopefully it'll be as easy as removing and replacing a couple of apks.. probably not if it requires framework changes though
So ex dialer is good eh? i wanted to try without going third party first but i am down if it is highly recommended.
Ex dialer and dialer one are my favorite alternatives

I am new to third party dialers, but I despise HTC's smartdial, but ex dialer seems like an option, plus it has sweet action like slide to call/txt ala Samsung Touch with, pretty sweet

hi, did you get this to work? I'm also interested in replacing the sense dialer.
Has anyone tried adding in the apk to the system folder and trying it that way? (And of course fixing permissions to rw r r.)

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if some of the sense 3.0 widgets can be developed for G2x?? Atleast the sense 3.0 lock screen. Is it anyway possible or on the cards or should i stop dreaming ??

Its great to dream, but in this case you should stop dreaming. The G2x and sense roms has 2 different framework so it will never work and even if it could it would take tons of modding that wouldn't be worth the trouble. Its similar to trying to put a Ferrari body on a Mercedes chassis.

There's a app called "Go To Lockscreen" and it pretty much gives you the features of the Sense lock screen. Its a good app.

im not sure if you wanted sense for the same reason i did. i wanted sense for the dialer + messaging client. althought we probably wont get the sense dialer, there is an app called GO Dialer, and GO Sms that is similar to the sense applications. Stock android dialer SUCKS! anyways hope this helps

The lock screen, dialer, messaging client and contacts client are the only good things about Sense. The vanilla clients are boring with less features. What's cool about the Sense contacts client is that contact pictures are just there with no loading. The vanilla contact client lags a little bit and there is a delay in showing the pictures.

Sense has some neat stuff but most of it is cosmetic.
Launcher Pro already has some Sense-like widgets built in and are themeable. They look like Sense out of the box. You can also customize Launcher Pro's dock bar to match any version of Sense.
Go Dialer and Go SMS are popular because you can theme them to look like whatever you want. I've also used "Dialer One" which was a "HTC SENSE Dialer" Clone at one time. I think they've went down their own path since but still has the same great functionality.
Moral of the story, you can make you phone look and feel like a Stock-Sense rom without having the stock-sense rom.
And I think they're porting Sense over in the O2x forums (directed at the second poster). MIUI, Sense, and CM7 are the 3 roms that should be ported to every phone. Completely do-able though. Nexus One has all 3.... but maybe I was spoiled.
It was possible on my hd2 windows phone. So I would say yes, it is possible. That phone had a much bigger following so I will not say it is propable.

as things have been said, launcherpro, GoTo LockScreen, things like that can give the customized feeling of not being on stock android...
I think the problem is we are on a LG phone trying to port a HTC client, Samsung Galaxy series never got it to work fully, just my opinion. I am not saying it is not possible, I am one that loves options and would like to see it happen though.

You can find software that looks like Sense such as Go Messenger but there is no contacts client out there with the deep integration/features you get with Sense. The Contacts Client is the only thing I like about HTC and I have yet to see one done better. Just ain't going to happen.

Hey,
So I'm very busy with fixing Touchwiz 4, from XXKQE. I also modified the dock, now can you add 5 icons in it. This topic is just for the development state.
If you guys have requests just leave it here in this topic.
Sounds good maybe you can turn CrapWiz into TouchWiz ^^
Like the resources very much...

Not sure if I can do that, then you have to make an completely new rom because you have to replace The system icons.

i prefer a fixed touchwizlauncher 4, no modified.
would be nice, thanks.
i have tried to change the libs. took the libs from a modified touchwizlauncher 4 from xxjw4 for i9000 but nothing happens. everything works as before
i think we must look for a working touchwizlauncher 4 without bugs on other devices and we can take them libs.
maybe the libs makes the issues in icon placement storage.
maybe someone can make a flashble cwm package with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883&highlight=sgs2

No offence for your efforts, floris, but I'm missing the point of going trough the hassle of trying to fix / improve a buggy tw4 launcher, while someone else had already done that? Fr4ggor's tw4.5 next gen launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883 works great, it's stable, extremely customizable (changeable grid and docksizes, themes, including ICS). It does everything you want to do with the buggy tw4 launchers from the valuepack (making it stable + some extra options), making me wonder why you're trying to do this?

Please upload it as soon as you can! I prefer the original touchwiz 4 rather than the modified tw 4.5 and also the crap tw 3.0... I've installed the value pack because I want tw4, but I have 6 pages because on a page there is only approximatly 6 apps.. so I really need a tw4 fix, and than I can have 2 pages.
Indeed, you learn best by doing it yourself! I guess you are trying to learn how to make apps yourself? If this is your first experience with creating apps, you might want to start from the very beginning. That way you can really learn how to make something from scratch. there are plenty of great tutorials out there, who'll also make you understand the way apps are working behind the scenes (the states apps can be in, the way android and dalvik vm handles them).
Anyway, good luck experimenting and learning

@FlorisNL, you might want to take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUOWNXGRc6g&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=SP2F07DBCDCC01493A . Despite being slightly outdated (almost a year old, but still recent enough) it is one of the best series of tutorials I came across with.
I'm somewhere around part 50 - out of 200 - and it's comprehensible for anyone without experience with xml or java.
@Tomajdon I guess you mean in the app drawer? Just open the app drawer, hit the 'menu-key' and select 'edit' (in whatever language). Now you can move app-icons around so you can rearrange everything.

No I mean that I have 6 pages and for example on page six i have 2 icons only. But if i move that two icon to page 5 and i clear my ram or tap to advanced task killer and clear the apps my two icons from 5 page go back to page 6... So i can not move my icons because when i clear m y ram my icons set back to default... And this annoys me very much. So if you aolved this problem please upload that fix i would be pleaseful.
Thought I'd share a little trick I found in the HTC Rezound forum... turns out you can easily peel off the Sense-style lock screen and leave your One X with clean-looking stock ICS lock. You simply need to rename /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk to something else, reboot, and voila, Sense doesn't skin it. I renamed it using adb shell.
It doesn't work perfectly however... I've already found a couple bugs where incoming calls don't show up on the screen (only in the status bar), and if you use something like Google Music that is supposed to add controls to the lock screen, only a black background is shown. I'm sure these functions are supposed to be handled by the Sense Lock UI which is no longer there. Maybe somebody smarter than me can figure out how to fix, or maybe this is just a useless crippled hack.

I doubt it, most of HTC's other apps are complete replacements of stock, whereas the Sense lockscreen is really just a skin sitting on top of ICS.
So it makes sense why incoming calls, texts, etc. using HTC's stock apps don't show up on the ICS lockscreen (they want to be handled by HTC's skin)....but I'm not sure why Google Music won't show controls since it isn't an HTC app. Curious!
Nice tip! Thanks for the info!
I recently installed CM10 on my Blaze, and overall I love it, but there is one thing I miss. While I'm not a fan of most of Samsung's TouchWiz interface, I do like their calendar and phone/contacts apps. would it be possible to port these into CM10 as the defaults and use them instead of the built in CM10 apps?

Yes it would be great to run the TouchWiz calendar and contacts.
CM 10 is suppose to be the way it is, dr4stic isn't going to add or customize it to everyone's needs his job is to port it and make sure it works. Although there are ways of adding the touchwiz interface to CM no developer is actually going to take time for this, as few people request it. I have actually before ported certain parts of ROMs to other ROMs. Its a hard process as each ROM has its own unique code. If you are willing to try something like that feel free to message me, maybe I will be able to help you

The intention wasn't for someone to rewrite the ROM using the touchwiz apps. I was hoping that it wasn't difficult to port them over and install them like any other apk. I don't really know much about it so I wasn't sure if it was possible.
Sent from my Blaze 4G using the xda-developers app
I'm sure its possible, but my gut says it would require a little coercing - with the likely target being edits to framework.jar. That's just a starting point guess though - these things are rarely as simple as they might seem up front lol.
I'd just recommend using the recently released default Google calendar app available from the play store.
If you've had a Nexus device it is the same as theirs... Hopefully you like it as much as I have.

Also would it be possible to get the standard Mail app (the yellow one) from CM9/10 to work on a sense rom? I like it over the one built in?
Any help would be sweet! Or just info to how or why its not possible. Thanks!

I think Scott tried to bring the AOSP dialer into Clean Rom dev a long while back and had no luck getting it to work. You could try theming it though.
