[APP]** AOSP Style Contacts/Dialer APK**

AOSP Style Contacts/Dialer APK​
I have a simple request. I will be purchasing the HTC Sensation 4G in a few days and we all know that for the most part root isn't available. As a result, I will be forced to use HTC Sense 3.0 until root is established and Custom Roms become available. I will probably use ADW EX as my launcher, but I will be stuck with the HTC Sense Dialer/Contacts. Is there any brave soul out there that can create a dialer/Contact apk that is the same as the AOSP version that can be installed without root? There are a few mods/fixes out there that require root to move the dialer.apk to the main system folder etc but obviously since the Sensation doesn't have root yet I will not be able to use those. I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE STOCK HTC DIALER & CONTACTS APPS... I am willing to donate to the person that figures this out....also I'm sure I am not the only person interested in this so uploading the apk to the android market could prove profitable for you also? Here are some examples:

AND
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871787&highlight=contacts+aosp
Remember it has to be installed "Unknown Sources" style or a market link etc....

I am as well! I absolutely hate the HTC Dialer/Contacts. I urge manufacturers to stop messing with the GOOD AOSP apps!

I agree.... I hate the HTC dialer.

Guys, look at my very soon to be released ROM...NoClutterSense...the dialer and lots of other HTC apps have been replaced with the AOSP counterparts. My ROM thread is here.

I have used RocketDial on my phones in the past and love it.
There is a free version but, support the Dev and get the full version
you won't be sorry.

Just installed this & like it a lot- but is there a way to disable the stock caller ID screen? It pops up & the RocketDial's pops up & I have to hit answer on both before the call connects.

i too would love a stock/aosp dialer for the sensation.

Now Fixed, just have to re-size & it's working fine on the Sensation I love me some Stock Dialer. http://twitpic.com/648vs4
Still working on it, but it wont be installable via apk install nor market & so on...
The version I'm working on has to be a full replacement app..

does this AOSP.apk change the dialer on phone or is it a stand alone.

ONLY if they can keep the camera software 100% intact.
I don't think it can be done. It relies too much on Sense3 frameworks.

and along the same token, your lack of concern for preserving the awesomeness of the camera is your opinion and, I imagine, not one that is held widely by the MT4GS userbase.
one of the selling points of this phone is the camera... and that goes out the window with the AOSP camera app. before this phone, I wouldn't have cared either, but since it has such a capable setup out of the box for being a point and shoot replacement, it seems like a waste to toss that just to get an AOSP rom.

Before jumping to conclusions about the built in Camera software versus the third party camera apps available on the market, we should test them out first.
I'm absolutely certain that there will be apps out there in the future that will be able to control the entire camera in this phone. The only question is when. That being said I only care in so far as being able to turn the flash on and off. I'm usually taking pictures in default settings though I might turn the flash off.

The Sense 3.0 camera app is the same as the one we have on the MT4GS, and as long as we run a version of Sense 3.0 we shouldn't have any problems. AOSP would be nice, but I'd like to have the nice camera functionality, and honestly I loved Virtuous Fusion ROM running Sense 3.0, I can't imagine how fast it would be on this device!

Yeah, the camera is something that I really want working on a custom rom. coming from the cliq though, everything seems fast stock on this phone.

I can't wait for Cyanogenmod on this phone. It really opened up my 3G slide with all kinds of cool stuff. When 3G slides were bearly getting official 2.2 Froyo from HTC, I had gingerbread for a while. I can imagine this bad boy running 3.1 or even the 4.0 that's supposed to be out soon!

Loved CM on my 3G slide, but I *personally* would not want to part with the functionality of the camera. Now if workarounds are discovered than that is a different story.
This phone is so much better out of the box than the 3G slide was though.

While we wait for cyanogen, are there other ROMs that work on the slide4g that people can recommend? The tmobile crap I can't uninstall is really getting on my nerves

I've been using Undeadk9's Doubleshot v0.5 with no problems so far. It's deMyTouched so it seems to fit what you're looking for.

[ROM][09/16/2011]Senseless_v2.1.2 Tweaked, Modded, Debloated, AOSP Pieces, ONLY 180MB
Just because something isn't CM7 doesn't mean it isn't a good ROM. People need to pay respect to those developing ROMs other than CM7 and MIUI as well, if it weren't for them we would still be on the stock rom with S-ON. Give this ROM a shot, I've been running it for a while and it is much better than the shipped rom and has full camera functionality.

The reason we don't have cm7 support is because there is no source code yet. You stuck with sense until then. Complain to HTC not within xda.

Wasn't complaining. Was just asking if any work was done. I found this article through a Google search and then did some forum searching after posting. Sad that the source for the kernel has to be released first. But if that ROM is more AOSP and has full camera functionality, it might be worth rooting my phone over.

[Q] Any suggestions for flashing CM10?

Hey guys I've been using my HOXL for couple of months and now running stock 2.20 firmware rooted. But I really can't wait HTC and AT&T to roll out the update and have been considering flashing CM10.
However Google Now is what I only want from JB 4.1, and I really like the stock Sense camera. Also, I know there's Google Now for ICS out there but seems not support HOXL and kinda buggy. Finally, missing calls and text messages are unacceptable, and that's another reason I have to open a thread here to ask you guys how are you feeling about CM10? Did you experience missing calls or messages? And I heard multitouch is not supported so will have a hard time using Maps? And playing games? Sorry to ask so many questions

Google Now works just fine on the XL.

It's laggy compared to my N7 but it works.

Oh I hate the lag, maybe I'll wait and use N7 for Google Now.

Anyone using ICS still?

I'm wondering just in case GB starts to lose support from app developers. I'd like to know if ics is 100% stable at this point, and all features work. I'm all about stability and having everything work the way it was intended.
Bling is cool, as long as it doesn't introduce glitches and hitches.

Ummmm....ICS is pretty dead I dont know if anyone still uses it.....JB is more stable now I have no issues with any app

Only issue with both ics and jb on the infuse is camera stuttering on video recording...actually ics may have a couple mote bugs

Well, GB is pretty dead too, according to some here. But at least it's 100% stable. (at least the revenant rom is) But after perusing the JB threads, it would seem that there are still issues to be ironed out. It may be "good enough" for some, but good enough is not good enough for me.
I guess it looks like I'll be staying with GB for as long as possible. The only reason I upgraded to GB was because some apps no longer work on Froyo.

If you actually flash a Jb ROM I'm willing to bet you won't find something you use daily that has any issues I'm using carbon nightly and I don't have any issues....honestly GB doesn't have really any features I couldn't be on GB anymore

OK, please elaborate more. On JB, does flash work? GPS? And what go you mean GB doesn't have any features? I mean, GB works 100% as far as apps and functionality so I'm confused. It does what I ask it to. What would JB give me that GB doesn't? Are you talking about bells and whistles?

I still use GB. I would not describe myself as a heavy user though. I use the phone mostly for the call, text and camera function.
I like my gmail, calendar and contacts sync'ed.
I don't have all the fb, twitter etc
When I tested out JB, I found a few things I liked:
1. gtalk updated better.
2. gmail had other options. Scrollable widget. Calendar had scrollable widget also. Calendar has more detailed display
3. Chrome worked. Native Browser was better.
4. Google body (now defunct-ed) worked..it needed a 3.0+ platform.
5. I don't use it but others like the theme engine.
6. The weather update on the lock screen was a nice touch.
7. The quick launch from the lock screen was neat...although I don't usually use the lock screen.
8. Back up and restore apps is more comprehensive.
9. Google Now and Google Keep is neat to try.
There were others but I forget...
For my phone, I still like the simpler GB interface and the battery life (less processes running means less battery usage)
fwiw, Entropy said his cm9 was stable..and "dead" too. Supposedly he had a more updated one but never release. Supposedly, aremo/he may have a different cm10?..I'm not sure though...
My final thoughts...to each his own...find something that you like...

Thanks for the info. I don't see anything on that list that is a must have though. Hopefully, GB will be supported by app devs until next spring when my contract is up. Carry on.

yeah..nothing must have..just interesting to test.
jb may be a step up in the most updated device designed to run it with support from chip set manufacturer. (ex: gn2, sgs3, sgs4)
for the most part, i prefer a tablet or pc...my phone is mostly a phone/digital assistant...but i suspect i'm a minority here

I have 10GB of organized GB Roms/themes, ICS Roms/themes(lost files ), Tweaks for GB/ICS, all old recovery stuff, and 3 open source kernels Samsung had released. I have talked to 3-4 forum moderators for approval and I will be creating around 150 links for the infuse community for lost/broken links and there may/may not be broken but will all be on dev-host 4 u guys. I am hopping this will help u guys b4 I leave. I am hopping to make this post within the next week or 2 in the general section. Cheers :thumbup:
I am also going to be posting all the links to EVERY official post

Hi everyone... its really an appreciable thing that our Oone has come through such a huge development starting from the cyanogenmod roms to the slim beans ...its a real achievement by the Devs ..Kudos to their great work ..Having said that..there has been one common thing in almost all the unofficial roms which hasnt got fixed yet ...Guess most of u know what am talking about...Yes!!! The voice search app !!!!
The only way to get it working as suggested by the Devs is to replace the latest voice search app with the gingerbread version...
Yeah. That did look good but it would be better if the latest versions start working too...

I can say that voice search app will never be working( not including the gingerbread version) due it needing armv7 libs which our phones will nvr be able to utilise.
