Myself and apparently many others like the AOSP apps better than the sense apps. I find the interface for the AOSP messaging, calendar, browser, calculator, and dialer/contacts applications to be more attractive and in some cases more usable. I really liked Bugless Beast 0.4 since it featured these applications, but I have had a hard time with the bug that keeps disk drive from working, and there are various reports of some syncing and battery issues. The EVO-NonSense series has been great too, but I use HDMI out sometimes and like having some of the sense stuff installed. Big thanks to both BuglessPete and tjohnsonjr for their AOSP work.
(7/18/2010) I have attached some of the files I have been using, see descriptions at the bottom of the post.
So since it took a little digging for me to figure out how to do this (even though to advanced users this is easy) I thought it might come in handy for other new users. Additionally I'm hoping by posting this someone can help me figure out how to get the dialer/contacts stuff working, I have the others working fine.
I've done the below on DamageControl, and I think another (baked snack maybe, can't remember). I'll probably throw together an update.zip that can patch these in place later, but I'd rather get the dialer/contacts part figure out first.
Setup:
1. You will need a fully rooted (toast root part 2, NAND unlocked) phone, and adb up and running. There are several explanations for both parts, but the ones listed in the "useful threads" sticky are joeykrim's for adb and toast's part 1 and part 2 for root.
2. I have been using the apk's from BuglessPete's bugless beast 0.4 ROM. The thread for it is available here.
Once you unzip the file, you will find the needed apks in the /system/app folder.
Note: Please donate to pete, he doesn't even have an EVO yet and is doing some great work. Hopefully if he has a phone to work on he can get some of these small bugs squashed and keep the development for BB going.
3. Backup your phone. If you don't know how to reboot into recovery and restore from a nandroid backup, you do not want to do this yet, especially if you want to try help me figure out how to get the dialer running. The idea with the dialer is to try different things until something works. In all likelihood you will hit a point where things are FCing so much you can't do anything. You will almost certainly need to restore from a Nandroid backup at some point.
Important: More than likely anything I list here can't break a phone in a way that a nandroid restore won't fix, but I can not and will not be accountable for any problems with your phone.
Which files:
One nice thing about adding files this way is you can pick and choose what to use. If you like the stock messaging but want the AOSP calendar, you can do just that.
Calculator: Calculator.apk
Calendar: CalendarProvider.apk and Calendar.apk
Default "Navigator" application: CarDock.apk <- you can keep both
Internet: Browser.apk and HTMLViewer.apk <- doesn't show previews of each tab, but allows up to 8 instead of 4. There may be other functionality gained or lost, I dunno.
Clock: DeskClock.apk (can exist beside HTC clock, and can be installed without this procedure)
Messaging (SMS, Text): Mms.apk <- Many people have trouble with this one.
####### Not Working! See post #2 ########
# Phone: Phone.apk, ContactsProvider.apk, Contacts.apk
###################################
To install:
I think you can use adb to do this install with the files still on the computer, but I go ahead and throw all the needed apks onto my sdcard, typically in a folder. Also, if you need to be in the Android SDK's /tools directory to use adb (this depends on your configuration) do that. Connect your phone, and make sure it is in "Charge Only" so the sdcard stays mounted. To make sure adb sees the phone properly issue:
Code:
adb devices
and you should get a return listing the device ID. If so we will mount the /system partition as read-write:
Code:
adb remount
Log into the phones local shell:
Code:
adb shell
you are now on the phones command line and file system, not on your local machine. Now we can start installing files. I'll use Calculator in this example, and I have the apk in a folder on the sdcard called AOSP_apks:
Code:
install /sdcard/AOSP_apks/Calculator.apk /system/app
You can do a couple at a time, and you must do more than one at a time when installing a provider like CalendarProvider.apk and Calendar.apk.
Once you are done, exit the phone's shell, and reboot the phone:
Code:
exit
adb reboot
The change may show up immediately, but the phone and applications aren't designed to change these core functions on the fly, so make sure to reboot the phone. Once it reboots you will probably notice the AOSP icon has replaced the former, and you have the AOSP skin and/or functionality.
Post #2 will deal with progress so far on the dialer/contacts.
(added 7/17) Notes on different apks: The BB Launcher2.apk has his skin on the google search widget, or grab the apk from something else like DC for stock. Launcher.apk from BB is the one with the wide drawer and (I think) 9 screens.
Music.apk from DC is the modded music app from Cyanogen. It has some very nice UI tweaks.
Attached:
- Music.apk used in Cyanogenmod from DC
- Calendar, CalendarProvider, Browser and HTMLViewer from BB 0.4
- CarDock, Calculator, and MMS from AOSP EVO-NonSense
Contacts/Dialer Progress: I'm sure some of the more advanced developers know the answer to this, so ideally someone can fill me in. In the meantime I'll report my findings here, and if others can add feedback to the thread on what they have done, I'll update this post. Hopefully in the long run there will be a straightforward explanation for this I can add to the above post.
I have installed the three files listed above (ContactsProvider.apk, Contacts.apk, and Phone.apk) which seems to install the right bits, but I get FCs.
Later on I added Telephony.apk and FutureDialService.apk, which didn't improve anything. Finally I noticed that Bugless Beast didn't have HTCDialer.apk, so I removed that as well. I think this was the point things went from the dialer and contacts applications FCing to non-stop FCs that kept me from doing anything on the phone.
Attached are the three apps I'm sure are involved for the Contacts/Dialer, pulled from tjohnsonjr's AOSP EVO. More files may be needed, but I'm still trying to figure out which.
The Dialer/Contacts apk used to work, I believe on ROMs that are not based off the newest OTA. Since it worked for me, but stopped once I started using ROMs based of the newest OTA. Anyways great post.
I installed the files and I cant see them. They're in the folders but its like they're hidden from the OS.
I tried to do this before since I love BB but the wake bug in v4 was killing me. I always got install errors. Did you delete the Mms.apk first.. THEN install Mms.apk and reboot? Or did you just install over it? I got errors either way. Also it totally disabled texting on my phone even after reinstalling the HTC Mms.apk.
I had to clean cache/reset then reflash my Nand backup and even then my texting was still broken until I sent one to my wife and then magically I got the 10-15 test "texts" I had sent.

Thanks and thanks. This is interesting. Of course BB is based on the older ROM, so maybe that is why BB works but this doesn't. I'll have to grab an older ROM and try that. It may be an issue of grabbing a newer build of the dialer or something.

Did it overwrite the existing files? Or do you totally not have whatever you installed, AOSP or sense? Which ROM and version?

Were you able to successfully do the adb remount first? The way I did it just overwrote the existing Mms.apk.

BBv3 and yes the remount worked.. I am currently in my 84th hour of a long battery duration test so I can't plug it in and try it right now since it will wipe my stats. However it would give some "parse" error and then fail to install. If I forced it by just cp'ing the apk and chmod'ing the exec permissions it would fail horribly.
84th hour of a battery duration test? details please?

Was it something like

If so, I had the same error when I didn't have the /system partition fully mounted as read-write. Did you get any errors from the "adb remount" command?

Hmmm maybe I did and didn't notice it.. I am down to 8% right now so by mid day my battery will probably die. I am hoping to make the 100Hr on one charge mark, after that I will try again and note any errors.

ok so I just redid your steps and I didn't get the error code this time (maybe my remount didn't work the last time I tried it). But now I get FC everytime I try and launch the text app. I installed over the Htc mms.apk =(
Anyone got an HTC Mms.apk handy they can post so I don't have to restore nand?
If you have the AOSP apps available, could you please post them all in .zip folder in the OP?

NVM I extracted it from an old nand backup. So, for me at least the Mms.apk from AOSP causes FCs and won't run at all . Put the HTC Mms.apk back and it works fine. =( Urgh any hints?
edited to add the HTC Mms.apk incase someone does what I did and kills it, so they dont' have to go through the process of trying to extract it.

Interesting that you say that, since I had some MMS texts in my cache. Wondering if when the AOSP version couldn't deal with them so it just FC'ed instead.
So I tried that, deleting ALL my texts so it wouldn't have some MMS collision or something. But that didn't work either, HTC Mms.apk works fine.. the AOSP.apk FC's. Could the OP or something with a working AOSP Mms.apk post it maybe it's my copy. Mine has an MD5 of : 441e3b8863bc3ab88ce6ad9bc1671f22
I have mms messages in my cache too. The AOSP apk shows them fine, just can't send new mms messages. Maybe your file is corrupt?

I going to upload all the AOSP apks that I include in my ROMs when I get home tonight.
Can you tell us how you got contacts.apk to work? I'm trying with FreshRom and I pulled the Contacts.apk from your Rom and it won't recognize the file when I push it using adbshell. The file is in the app folder but android ignores it.

I did not do this, I only remembered it from when I had my nexus, so I thought I would share here, because I'm sure many of you do not check the nexus forum. It works, 100%, I've tested it myself on build 7 of CM6 nightly.

Here is the link to the original thread... HERE
Here are his instructions. I just renamed the file so it was a little shorter. my changes are colored.
This is a modified flash apk file that enables you to watch hulu on your rooted, froyo-running android device. It is my project to return to the community. Please only use this fix if you know what you are doing, as I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Instructions:
1.) UNINSTALL FLASH
2.) Download the .apk
3.) adb install nexusflash.apk (or your preferred method of installing the .apk)
4.) apply the ABOUT: DEBUG fix if you haven't already (both fixes are required) (Alternative option provided below)
5.) watch hulu!
The about:debug fix is that in the browser address field, type 'about:debug', without quotes, and then hit 'go'. then, in the browser settings, at the bottom of the settings list you will see 'uastring'. change it to say 'desktop', instead of 'android'
Adam B. has requested I link to his post on a .apk that automatically applies the useragent (step 4), so you don't have to. Find it here. Install his .apk just like you installed nexusflash.apk.
Changelog:
June 17- Updated to Version 10.1.72.7
June 09- Updated to Version 10.1.72.4
Enjoy!
If you don't understand the directions, I suggest you use the SEARCH function. I will absolutely NOT answer questions that you can find the answer to on your own.
QA:
Q: I upgraded to FRF72, and the flash.apk isn't working. What is wrong?
A: You lost root. Root your phone to get this .apk working again.
Q: I am running Froyo on my droid / other non-nexus phone. Will this flash.apk work?
A: Maybe. This apk appears to work on recent froyo roms, but not older.

Its working, I can watch Hulu but its not 100% smooth. Definitely watchable but it gets a little jerky at times. Any idea or is this expected?

C:\Users\me>adb install nexusflash.apk

in the browser address bar, type 'about:debug', then hit the return key, or go, or whatever to enter it and make the browser process it like a web address. then, hit your hard menu key, go to settings, and all the way at the bottom is an option to change the uastring. change it to say 'desktop'

yea I noticed this yesterday too...disappointing.
HULU works on the skyrocket........
just use one of the deodexed roms(like this one-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341616), which will let you edit the libs of the Flashplayer. use the Libflashplayer.so hack that is on xda replace it and give it the proper premission and BAM!!!! you got hulu
have been watching hulu on my phone since melvin dropped his first rom.
if for some reason you just cant manage to find the Hack i will post it up for you and give credit to the Dev.

I know that but what I consider stock is a ROM that hasn't been messed with at all.
I normally run Cyanogen Mod 7 but it's not available yet.
No, I don't like the crap bloatware apps.
Thing is, I will not die without Hulu and it's not enough reason for me to grab the first thing that comes along and install it.
I am actually enjoying the stock rom on this phone. Can't do everything I am used to but, I have to say that it's been pretty nice.
I will likely consider Cyanogen when it comes out for this phone but I am going to have to think pretty hard at this point. That rom has caused nothing but issues for me on multiple phones in regards to GPS which I rely on quite a bit. I know there are fixes and I got my GPS working after a lot of hassle on my Evo but never had success fixing it on my Inspire. Been nice having my GPS working without an issue on my Skyrocket. So... At this point, I just don't want to mess with the stock rom until I have a chance to evaluate it more.
My phone is rooted and that seemed to be all I needed to edit the needed files in the past but I guess not in this case.
Didn't Hulu come out recently and say they are supporting all Android devices now or was that Netflix?

I agree the Stock rom on the SR is great thats why im not even worried about not having 5 or 6 roms to choose from. i thinks its pretty nice as is. but i like to be able to edit certain files. and i think all you need it root explorer and you CAN edit pretty much everything on the phone.
but i didnt notice that you cant edit the build.prop, or the libs. i had to pull the build prop and edit on my comp and push it back.
and CM7 is a buggy nice little rom one of those things were you deal with the problems cuz its so damn nice. same with miui.

may i ask what files you are seeing in the Lib folder on the com.adaobe.flashplayer.
you shouuld have four files in there already right? i have seen it where it is empty sometimes and that means this wont work. ALSO if you unistall flash and reinstall flash 11 it repopulate the lib folder and i have had luck with this as well. once you get it will stick though. you wont have to this every reboot or anything.

this is true, but even with root on the stock rom(odexed) i dont think you can edit the lib files.
im pretty sure.
For those who dont know, there is a new updated S-voice out that is currently working on most devices. I'm sure it'll be patched soon as well, and the need to change the build.prop will arise again. In the meantime, this one DOES work

When was it updated? I got the download from the original thread yesterday afternoon.
How is it different to skyvi?

This was updated earlier today. Many users were having trouble with the previous build after Samsung blocked access to the application from other devices.

I'm sorry, I can't speak on behalf of that since I've never used it. Perhaps someone else in the thread can help you on that. My apologies.

Did you push THEN install?
I should also note that this app is only compatible with ICS 4.0+ roms.

I'm getting Force Close every time I tell it to do something that app oriented, I'm assuming it's looking for Samsung applications? I fixed permissions with in root explorer , is there something else I'm missing. Still think its kinda pointless lol. NVM some things work some dont, I sent myself a text but cannot set an alarm lol. this helped things though.

I have permissions set to -rwxrwxr-x

I haven't a clue then lol, tried that as well, with no luck.
I copied that .so file from the .apk into the lib folder and it works now. It appears the only time that the app FC itself is when it tries to launch another app. I'm guessing probably because it is trying to look for the Samsung app.
Example - When I ask "Locate the nearest Mexican restaurant" or "What is the weather like today?"
U should link the the original thread so people can give credit where it is due and thank whoever ported it

hi, may sounds silly, but i'm new in the android game.
where do I find the "systems/app" folder that you mentioned? I'm on a Mac and using the USB Mass Storage, but I don't see the systems folder.
any help will be appreciated.
You're going to need to use ADB with cmd line to push it as far as I know or have root enabled file explorer like ROM Toolbox and you will see system when you're in it, this app never worked when I pushed it to system for me just installed it like a normal app and rebooted phone

Hi,
I have Motorola Atrix 2 AT&T on Android 2.3.6, And I had removed the Few Stock Apps:
AABsync.apk
Cmas.apk
Cmas.odex
Do any one with a same phone can post those files here or send them to eobender at gmail.com
They are located on /system/app , and you can get them or with Root Explorer or with Titanim Bacup.
Any Help will be Appreciated , and many many thanks will be given , without those files I can't upgrade to ICS

Well, here's half of your request (I don't have the Cmas.apk/odex until I get home later): https://dl.dropbox.com/u/61960599/AABSync.zip
I checked the sha1's with the OTA updater-script.. they should work fine.

Why not just use the 2.3.6 fxz.That really is prolly the safest and fastest way to get you to a "good" point for an OTA to ICS.

Thank you so very much!! Replacing these files didn't fix my problem unfortunately. Makes me curious if Verizon has different version of these or is there something else i need to be looking for as to the reason my settings > user dictionary keeps force closing when i try to use it.
You've been a big help, i was looking for days for those files. I changed the permissions on them as well in a attempt to stop the force closing. they are now set to read only and only user can write, just like the rest of the files in there. I don't know what STSystem.apk is but it has all permissions enabled.
Maybe I didn't break this by deleting those files and i just noticed it being broken now. I'll post here later about how I fixed it, if anyone seems curious. Thanks for the help!!!

We must check that all permits are in 644 to all files have been copied to the system folder, there should be no loose ends, all at 644, then at the end, you have to reboot into recovery mode and do the wipes, then restart again and wait for the phone to resume the system, double check that everything works and that's it, if not, with regard to whether the files are from another operator due to different bloatware may be true that you can fail again.

I appreciate the fast reply and extensive knowledge. I don't understand what a 644 is nor what to wipe. I'm still using stock ROM and unaltered as far as flashing or anything more than rooting. I used SDmaid to move the files back into system/app as well as changing permissions. I will look into what a 644 is along with information about rebooting into recover mode if need be.
I would rather steer clear of having to reset the phone to stock, though I've done it before when i had to return a phone for defective hardware and didn't want to leave obvious super user and root on it. I left the whole setup of the CD image etc on the computer. I just don't want to depend on backups to recover my different game progress among other things.
Sorry for pretty much hi-jacking this thread. I didn't think it would be this hard and go this far. Thank you everyone for your patients.
