I am not sure if anyone has posted this but the inverted ICS contacts and the email customization that was made for the captive works on the Galaxy S 4G. I am posting the link below in case it will help anyone who does not like the white and blue that comes with ICS. I am not sure if any of the other themes will work with the G4, I just know I tested these two tweaks and they run quite well on my phone which is running ICS / aopk and running faster than it ever did on a stock rom!

Firstly for those thinking, "just get DarchDroid! It's already AOSP," I would first like to explore this option. I like Sense UI, just hate the lag associated with certain Sense apps and would at least like to try the AOSP versions before completely switching to a new ROM.
I did some searching, but couldn't find any sure apk's that will work on a CDMA Hero. The closest I found was some working for the EVO 4G (here), but I don't want to risk it not working on the Hero.
Is it possible for someone to pull some apk's from DarchDroid ROM and have them work on Sense-based ROMs?
Suppose there are working apk's, will they replace or coexist with the HTC apps?
Thanks in advance, and I apologize if this was already done.
Edit: found some apk's!
Edit 2: apparently I suck at searching; there was another thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667715#7 but at least my thread has the DeskClock.apk
I feel your pain, or at least I did. I liked sense but hated all the lag such as the lag when scrolling threw contacts and SMS. All those little small areas where it would lag drove me crazy. I tried installing the apks from darchdroid but it didn't work so I searched it up. Got the same results as you. I had no choice but to go with darchdroid but I am more than satisfied now. Throw launcherpro on it and you wont regret it. AOSP is like a simplified less flashy version and I love it. I hope some one has a real answer for you though because I'm curious myself. Good luck.
Oh. If you do end up trying darchdroid, try out gomorrah's blackmod theme for it. It's sick.
Well, I managed to find the AOSP messaging app when I wasn't even looking for it! Go figure. It was in a thread talking about keyboard lag. Some claim that for texting, using AOSP messaging app has much less keyboard lag than the HTC messaging app. For those curious, it's here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6309233&postcount=6
Oh and it looks like it replaces the HTC messaging app; they cannot coexist.
Edit: It also occurred to me that flipz included the AOSP alarm as part of his AOSP lock screen fix!
Much less lag. The messaging app is the only one that worked when I tried replacing them though. The phone and contacts apps were giving problems. I didn't know what to do so I just went with darchdroid. If you like sense, maybe there is a way to add it to an AOSP ROM. Maybe you can just try installing the HTC Sense launcher apk on darch's ROM.
Hey everyone,
I love my Infuse but the only thing is I absolutely HATE TouchWiz. I love HTC's Sense but unfortunately AFAIK there isn't a way of getting that on here.
Anyways back to my main point, what is the easiest way to get rid of TouchWiz and Samsung's Dialer, E-Mail Client and SMS Client? I much prefer the stock Android version of everything so if someone could please point me in the right direction that would be great.
My phone IS rooted BTW incase that makes things easier
Thanks!
CM 7 is in the process of being ported to the infuse, check the development section - still doesn't have all bugs worked out yet, but that's your only alternative to TouchWiz

Until CM7 is available you could change the launcher and use market apps to do SMS, Email, etc...
Just delete/move or freeze the APKs using a root-enabled file explorer or Titanium Backup. Then you can install some alternative apps, lockscreens, and launchers.
Alternatively, you might want to check out some of the ROMs in the dev section. You can easily get a close-to-AOSP feel with Infused v2 and the lockscreen addon.
Yeah I'm always watching the CM7 thread to see what's new, etc.
Am I able to get the AOSP APK's for the dialer, sms and e-mail from somewhere? I would change my launcher but without the AOSP APK's I don't see the point
I am currently on Infused V2 with the lockscreen addon, just want to get rid of the Samsung feel ;-)
Thanks for everyone's help!
the dialer and contacts would be difficult to permanantly change. way back designgears tried an aosp look rom for the captivate and he wasn't able to change the dialer. you can get go contacts/dialer which is a single app much like aosp with added features and is themeable.
you can change the sms to aosp I believe but I'm not sure why you'd want to, it is really limited. there are many market apps you can use. go sms pro and handcent are very popular.
and there are many launcher in the market for you to choose. the gingerbread one from Eugene373 is same as gtg puts in his roms I believe.
I guess I will just wait until CM7 is all ready
I like simplicity, I think the Samsung SMS, E-mail and dialer are way too bloated. I look at it this way, if the main used functions of my phone are simple and basic then I won't have too many problems with the phone with daily use.

well it sounds like you might like go dialer/contacts then, it has some additional features but isn't very complicated at all. only issue is that every time it gets upgraded the defaults get cleared and you need to set them back to go contacts for like 4-5 different scenarios. it is a good app but the defaults system on android can get annoying. and I do believe aosp sms will work on this phone, just haven't seen it tried. it was done many times on the sgs phones because earlier versions of tw sms had weird problems with the time stamps, especially on custom roms, that and the theme was pretty gross.
Well I know SMS is possible for sure because I was using Refuse 1.7 before I upgraded to Infuse and it has the AOSP SMS which was nice
Hopefully CM7 gets finished up sooner than later
As mentioned, you have many options in the market...
popular launcher apps
go launcher
zeam launcher (i use on nook)
launcher pro (i use on infuse)
adw launcher (have on my son's phone)
android 2.3 launcher
SPB Shell 3D (looks like an amazing launcher)
and more
sms
chomp
go
handcent (i use)
and more
Dialers
I rarely make calls so I have not really looked into changing the dialer.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the MIUI dialer, as I'm sure most of you do who has used it before, but it was never available outside MIUI...
well now it is:

This is just the dialer and contacts apps... it still piggybacks off of the CM7 Answer and In-Call screens (meh). But much needed.
Thanks for posting this here, didn't know about it.
I flip through the Android Development forums often. Posted there are apps, games, themes, and other stuff that isn't specific to one phone. This just caught my eye. Aside from the nice overlay, it also allows SmartDial that stock does not. I've tried several alternative dialers and they all "feel weird". This one works just like you would expect it too.
I found a MIUI theme for cm7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189723
I find MIUI to be laggy and cm7 to be better, try this out if you like the look of MIUI!
Meh that theme never worked right on my phone. I couldn't get the transparent status bar to work easily enough to want to do that Every time I flash a nightly. And the black version wouldn't be bad except the nasty orange line under the notification menu.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a rom that combines the following:
-Sense ROM (beacause of the multitouch issue in cm/aokp roms)
-Black Settings Theme (the white one in sense 4.0 kills me at night )
-cm9/stock android keyboard
-cm9 quick toogles in the notification bar
But i guess there is no ROM that fulfills my wishes, so does anyone know a theme or a mod that could help me?
Or can i somehow change the keyboard or the settings theme myself?
I'm currently running LeeDroid. (also tried cm9 alpha, aokp, miui, but they all have the multitouch problem)
Thanks,
pillepalle92
Have you tried Trickdroid?
I havent tried it yet, but how would that solve my problems?
As far as I can see, there isn't much difference to LeeDroid.
But thanks for your answer.
Sounds like Leedroid and Trickdroid would be the best fit for you. Trickdroid is a stock ROM with a tweak package similar to what is in Leedroid (you can pick and choose what to install). The only thing you'd really be missing would be the cm9/stock keyboard, but isn't that just a simple apk install?
yeah, i got the keyboard from playstore.
But the thing I'm missing most, is the black settings theme. But I think only the aokp based roms got that.
I't would be really nice to have a aokp theme for sense roms.
But I guess I can live with LeeDroid until the cm9 developers get the multitouch issue fixed.
Leedroid with sommer breeze them. Maybe with a couple of aosp inverted apps. I'm using all of this. Also love black on the amoled screen.

Try a "senseless" rom rather than an AOSP one. They're based on sense but have most of it stripped out. That might be what you're looking for.
AOKP is awesome, plain and simple (except the camera, but other camera apps can change this)
there is a flashable zip around here thatll allow you to sync your FB contacts and photos, and when you transfer your FB contact birthdays and events to Google Calendar...who needs Sense calendar? Ill try to find the tuts real quick on how to do each one
*edit*
FB contact sync : http://niranjanthilak.com/facebook-sync-for-android-ics-devices/
follow method 1 and download from CWM not ADB at bottom of the page(you can use 4ext instead of CWM )
