Hi!
Since we don't have(yet!) any working CM build I recently found messaging app which looks, and works like that included in CM builds(including popup!).

I'm currently using Gingerbread Sense Rom for my DHD, however the only reason I use it is for the Facebook integration, the style of the message app is nice but not dissimilar to the stock app and the rest is quite similar or easily replaceable.
Is there an app I'm not aware of that recreates the Sense functionality for non-Sense roms? Would rather use CM7 Nightlies but I do like the contacts and Facebook integration.
Though it us not very sense like, try "go contacts". It is miui like and actually very good
Sent from my glacier using XDA App
Truthfully the design doesn't bother me it's the Facebook integration (automatic pictures and statuses), the auto-linking contacts based on name etc
If you purchase Launcher Pro they have numerous "sense-like" widgets including one for contacts. There is also a free app on the Market called Photo Contracts widget that is similar.

Thanks, Colorize does a similar thing too but is there nothing that replicates just how integrated Facebook is with Sense UI? The official Facebook app itself is awful with contacts so I recall... It's nice to just have pictures automatically updates (SyncMyPix is fine but it to be done automatically without extra apps is far better!)
Hi chrisa86,
I'm totally with you. Yesterday I flashed CyanogenMod on my Desire. Coming from a sense-based ROM, specially the Contacts App is a pain. I want my nice and clear list with links and Facebook back!
I don't mind Widgets, because I'm using Launcher Pro, but the App itself.
So far, I tried Youlu, but is it more at the stock side than on the Sense side
Unfortunately, there is nothing like the Facebook integration in Sense. And the latest Gingerbread update even went back in terms of the Facebook/Android connexions.
That's the only thing I miss from Sense ROMS actually...
Yes, I just flashed Redux rom (which is very good by the way) to try gingerbread, and I'm badly missing the HTC contacts as well.
Additionally from facebook integration, there's also something missing: the ability to type a person name's directly from the dialer (aka Smart Dial : http://www.mobisleapps.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screen-shot-2010-01-12-at-4.16.47-PM.png)
Any workarounds ?
Dialer One in the market has smart dial. You can set that as your default phone app.
Yep, I should have done more research before asking. I just realized that there are numerous alternative dialers.
However, to get back to the OP question, nothing like sense contacts (for facebook sync) at the moment, right ?
Due to a bunch of issues I experienced with the TouchWiz email app, I recently replaced with the ICS AOSP Email/Exchange apps from this thread.
While its definitely much more stable than the original, the one feature Im missing is the conversation view the TouchWiz version has. Is there a version of the stock ICS or even JB email app that includes this?
Thanks!
I really love all the developers out there, you are doing an excellent job.
My question is that is it possible to have the messaging and contacts app of MIUI in cyanogenmod 9 ? Because MIUI has group messaging, and the contacts(people) app is also much more functional than is of cm9. Is there any way to extract these apps from MIUI and put them into CM9 ?
any help would eventually result in hitting thanks
regards
Port it yourself
Is there anyway to load these two on the Nexus 5?
Not sure if this works but try these out.

A working 4.4 AOSP Messaging App can be found here:

I was wondering if there were any AOSP 4.4.2 ROMs with only speed improvements (ie, no customization options) and the AOSP Messaging app with the CM improvements (ie, quick reply). I would be happy with CM, but it's missing a couple of features I like (LED, Halo) and they seem to have Hangouts in lieu of the AOSP Messaging app. Also, I'd like to be able to flash a custom kernel. Gravitybox for Xposed framework would be able to give me all of these options, however, I'm afraid it would conflict with an AOSP built ROM with features built in.
aosp messaging app and the cm messaging app are different. which one do you want? rastakat includes the aosp messaging app, but wont include the cm messaging app.

Except they oddly don't seem to. Gummy/Onedroid are based on CM/AOSP, and they oddly do not include it. Nor do they have the stock browser.

now the stock browser can differ.. stock(retail) uses the chrome browser, while stock(aosp) uses the aosp browser.

By stock browser I meant AOSP, my bad.
Anyway, does anyone know why CM11 doesn't seem to have the AOSP based Messaging app anymore (the green one with the smiley in it)?
OT
Anyway AOSP browser uses Chromium engine, no more the old and smooth "AOSP WebView"
