Would it somehow be possible to use HTC Contacts / Dialer app on other Roms like CM or AOKP? I like the app very much, but do not want to retain Sense just for the contacts app.
No chance mate, the app relies heavily on the sense frameworks which are closed source

It is possible to do smething similliar by "de-sense"ing a ROM, which means removing most of it's sense apps. However, since it is essentialy the same ROM, performance and behaviour will be the same.
Also, the People app had some dependencies, such as the dialer ("Phone") App. You can try removing the Sense launcher (Rosie) and installing an AOSP based one, but it will essentialy be the same ROM.

I'm looking for a sense dialer app (or similar). Basically, one that will query contacts AND the call log as you dial. Do any exist?
don't think so. but you can search for NubDialer in the market - made by Wysie. Or you can also try the dialer one. it's something quite similar to sense dialer.

Dialer One doesn't query the call log or tell you the number you are calling (e.g., mobile, work, etc.). I just checked and NubDialer doesn't either.
Re: Sense dialer app (or similiar)
has anyone found an app to do this yet?

current version of dialer one does all these things.
Re: Sense dialer app (or similiar)
the search widget does this too. as you type it searches your contacts.

This isn't accurate. If I called 1234567890 a week ago, but it isn't in my phonebook, I cannot type 456 in DialerOne and have it retrieve that record. He has thrown in a new "group by call log" which will sort the query results by most frequently called, but that is it.

Right... but again - not looking for contacts... Looking for call log.
me too.
i tried "dailer one" and its not bad. it searches for contacts while you dial. but i dont like the ui.
i would prefer something more sense like...
does somebody know where to find it?
maybe if somebody could pull it from a sense rom?
EDIT: actually the ui of dialer one is far better if you set the the system wallpaper as background.
i think dialer one will become my phone app;-)

I'm working on making a theme to sense dialer, I will make a thread for it today
As all HTC apps need & use HTC's framework, none of them can be used on a normal Android ROM. The only way is installing a Sense ROM. But as people told you, Dialer One & NubDialer are the best dialers out there.
Im trying to use vaelpaks new rom but I all I really need is the htc messenger because I hate the stock messages. Is there any way someone can give me a zip file for this please?
Im willing to donate.

Exactly what i am wanting too. Would also like the htc messaging widgets if possible

If it's an AOSP ROM you won't be able to use Sense applications
Vael always puts side by side apps in his roms. Look in the vaelpak extras folder using root explorer or similar program. The HTC mms.apk(its the entire app even tho its called mms) should be in there

I'm not a huge fan of the HTC messaging app an I'm kinda missing the vanilla gingerbread one. Anyone know a way of installing the vanilla one without root?
I've downloaded the mms.apk but the HTC app is installed under the same name so you can't uninstall/update it without SU. Is it possible to somehow repackage it as a new application that would run separately?

handcent sms works really well...
I like chompSMS, its a really solid alternative SMS app..... but I've actually been using the HTC messaging app lately, I love the way the conversation screen looks with the 3D sort of threads...
Hello,
I really like the stock ICS Contacts application and although I love CM9, I feel that without the hardware decoding then GB roms will be better. So I'm wondering if anyone could port the stock ICS contacts app for Gingerbread etc?
Thanks.

Even if someone could just create an SMS app similar with the same appearance like the Gallery ICS and Camera ICS available in the Play Store.

There are already clone sms app. Its called ICS messages, but don't know about the quality. I stopped using it after first sms because it can't process special characters and accented letters into gsm mode.

Hi is there anyone here who knows is it posible to use htc sense contact management under MIUI? cause i want to use MIUI with the ability to link and merge contact such as sense feature
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
If only, no is the easy answer, you would need the sense frame work, but I'm sure that there must other third party applications with some of the functionality
This is one of the three reasons that I use sense, the quality of the contacts, calendar and phone apps

which are the other two?

I seem to remember you can use Go Contacts to merge duplicates. You can uninstall it and the changes will stay, too.

Just as i tought, i love how sense cleverly found similar contacts whether from PHONE, SIM or synced accounts and gives us option to link or merge em, i haven't found apps with such capability, it's annoying to see duplicates of contacts info,i wish dev of MIUI improve this someday. Cheers!

it's not just to merge duplicates of phone numbers, but the options to link synced account such as social network accounts, i use 3rd party app but it just still lack of it. cheers appreciate it though

Slightly off topic, but I use sense based ROM but remove Rosie and install Apex launcher instead for a more plain Android experience, means that you can't use sense widgets but all the quality applications are still there to use
