AOSP Dialer w/ DC or Fresh?? - EVO 4G General

Is it possible to use the AOSP dialer (not the HTC stock one) with DC or Froyo. Right now, every time I make a call using Google Voice or something, the HTC call screen comes up. I don't want to completely scrap Sense because I like some things like the alarm app. Is there a solution?
Yes I posted this in Q&A, but there seems to be more Q than A there.

help please

I would like this too.

bumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbump

I posted a reply on the thread started in dev and moved to QA, and I'll paste it here also. Hopefully we can either combine findings or someone will know the answer:
I'm hoping to do the same thing. I like the AOSP dialer and contacts much better.
I have been able to get the AOSP calendar, calculator, clock, browser, etc. to install on DC from bugless beast, so far with no problems.
However when I install some of the phone stuff I just get FCs for everything.
I installed the following apks from bugless beast on DC:
contacts
contactsProvider
Phone
Telephony
FutureDial
And got FCs. I haven't had a chance to try any further. Anybody else have ideas?

halp plz anyone

Can anyone do it?!

I can just install this and it will replace the sense dialer and call screen?

I didn't mean it could be done. I meant it in the Billy Madison sense.

Does anyone have a serious answer to my query?

That seems a bit harsh, considering my post with some valid information to get closer to an answer. I think if a few of us work on different ways of doing this, we will probably figure it out.

I appreciate your response, but it wasn't an answer to my question so much as a question in itself. Does anyone know how to install the AOSP Dialer?

I pulled apart the apk and I am in way over my head. Not sure what I'm doing.

i would like to see the aosp dialer too. i dont like the sense dialer at all.

I did answer how to install the AOSP dialer, it just didn't work. I'm hoping more people than me can actively try to get this to work (I work 50 hours a week and have a kid so I don't have a lot of time on my hands). I'll try to stop arguing and explain how people can work on this
The needed files are contacts, contactsprovider, and phone. However there is apparently something else needed to make them work properly. It could be adding another apk, or removing another apk, or even editing some other file (config file, framework file, etc.)
So I'm trying a post in the development section. Hopefully they don't kill it. I have included careful instructions on how to install this stuff, and my progress so far with the dialer. If other people keep trying, hopefully we can figure it out. I can say that just installing that contacts.apk will probably not work, since contactsprovider.apk is almost certainly needed.
Please check out that post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7154366#post7154366

This error is because the nand partition isn't mounted yet. Issue "adb remount" before.

It will clearly work with a rooted EVO Rom. See the thread below for an example:

Yes, it certainly CAN work. I wish some of the people that have made it work in those ROMs would follow up with us and let us know.
Most interesting thing so far: in that thread I posted in the dev section, someone said it worked with pre 1.47 OTA ROMs. I'm hoping to try a few things soon to see when it does or doesn't work.

Fresh 0.53 is a Pre 1.47 Rom. I've been trying with that for almost a month. I even tried porting over the files you listed in your other thread. All I get is force closes.

Extract exchange support from HTC SENSE?

Hi,
Is there any possibility that you smart guys could extract only the exchange capabilities from HTC's SENSE?
edit sorry guys
1. Wrong section
2. Search Button
3. ... all I am going to say.
Thanks,
There you go. Give it a try.
More politely put no it is not possible but you can use senseui with the normal launcher and have your exchange support.
Or just use touchdown OR motogal and motocal
Widgets
My problem is that I LOVE the widgets. the Calender Widget to be specific. I wish the Android calender would merge Exchange and Google calender information and present it out on a unified calender like HTC does. And I used Modaco's kitchen to dump the Sense UI but that also leaves me without the calendar and mail widgets :-(
Not working
Talderon - I have searched but didn't get a satisfying answer.
InGeNeTiCs - Tried it (adb push), but I don't see any new app..
genibus - If I get you correct, you are saying that the only possible way is using HTC Desire's ROM?

I need to overlay google cal and exchange cal. I am using calwidget which is nice, but I need a full calendar app. (i.e - pick a specific date, and see whats happening in both calendars)
I need to accept calendar invitations from exchange (Push) - motocal can do it only if I happen to navigate to the date and see the event invitation there. there's no way to know you received an invitation, and there's no centralized place where I can see my invitations.
I need to be able to search GAL from the email application. I have motogal, but it's not what i'm looking for. let's say someone sent me an email, I want to forward it to someone in the company. I dont want to go to motogal, search, copy, paste... I want to have the search in the TO field of the wmail app.
I need to search email and calendar..
These are the main problems...
Thanks for the help
Why do people seem to believe that everything can be ported, or "extracted" from everything. Not everything (as sad as this may be to some) can be ported to every single 'thing'. People seem to constantly ask for things from HTC Sense here, but they do not seem to comprehend that HTC Sense requires a specific framework, without Rosie we cannot simply port every minor detail over to the standard Vanilla Android. (From MY understanding, I could be wrong, but this is what I was taught).
Get the Desire ROM, or a imitation, and stop requesting..
This was not directed to the thread creator specifically, though it was to people who are requesting widgets. I really wish people could become a little more educated.. unless me myself is wrong.

Because that's the idea behind the android OS? That everything is modular. Except that in this case HTC sense is a module for home, and not individual modules.
To the OP: If you want corporate usage, I believe it was pulled from the droid rom successfully. I've seen a few posts allude to it around here somewhere.

OHHH sorry I thought you asked a different question.
Actually, I wouldn't mind having a complete sense experience - That would be even better.
But I'm a little afraid to flash the entire Desire ROM because it's still experimental.. isn't it?
I'm currently with Cyanogen so it's not the idea of flashing that bothers me, it's just that specific ROM.
Thanks for your reply.

Curiosity.
Without a Rooted Incredible I assume I can't install the sensemail.apk on the incredible?
I tried and the app won't install although both are HTC Sense UI's?
Verizon seemed to have downgraded the HTC Mail to only one screen option. I wanted the screen widget that showed the messages in a list not by individual pages where you flip through them to read the headers(single page).
I also tried the extracted widget from the HTC Desire ROM and it didn't want to install. said it was an application error.
Any hints? or just wait for the root?

Lockscreen Wallpaper - non transparent

Hello,
I am currently using Tainted Vanilla. It has the stock lockscreen with a transparent background. How can I change it to a non-transparent background? Thanks.
I would suggest searching before you ask. There are threads about this already. It involves flashing new files and maybe some adb stuff if I remember correctly. Check the themes section or over in the hero cdma section if you're using a sprint based rom. A google search will more than likely turn up multiple threads on multiple forums.

You know, I did alot of searching on google and on this forum and cant find anything that is helpful. I am hoping someone knows how to change the nexus one lockscreen from transparent to non transparent.
I did find one zip with a lockscreen and a background but could not flash it. Anyone have the vanilla or nexusone lockscreen with a nontransparent background?

That one is the same one as the one he's using, it's just a patch to remove the HTC lockscreen. You can even see in the picture on the first post that it's transparent. It seems to work with EE with a background but its those stupid rendered grey blocks and you cant change them. DianeofArcadia found that picture in the system files but it cant seem to be modified to make it a different wallpaper. I asked the devs a few weeks ago and none of them seemed interested in helping figure it out and I dont know enough so if you find something let me know.
I flashed a hero theme over my aloysius rom that have the lockscreen a solid black background. I did read a site that has a method for making a background picture work. It pertains to the hero so I don't know if it would work for your vanilla rom. I just flashed a new rom so I don't have my bookmarks right now but I'll post a link tomorrow afternoon.
I figured google would turn up some results but maybe it's not as popular a topic as I thought. Sorry if I came off like a jerk
i'm also looking for this or a lockscreen that works with tainted that has the all the text removed. ex, carrier, clock, date.
Okay guys, this is what I found. Keep in mind that this is for the hero cdma so I have no idea if it will work for u guys, I haven't tried it myself, just sharing what I found.
Heres the link specifically for the wallpaper:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6221422&postcount=76
Here is the original thread, there are some neat things like removing text:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665652
Once again, I don't know if this will work for you but it's all I could find. looks like quite an undertaking, if you guys get it to work let me know I haven't had time to play for a couple of weeks.
AFAIK, the Heroc fixes will not work on Eris roms. Don't ask me why, but that's from my experiences.
Thanks for the information rentjr, at least now some might have an understanding of why it is being so hard to change and maybe we can come up with something. ???
thread should be moved to Themes and Apps

yeah, i love the eclair lockscreen. back before root and these mods started coming out, I used lockbot pro to get the eclair lockscreen. lockbot pro will let you put a background though, as an alternative you could try that. I found it a little laggy for my taste but it might be good for others

[Q] Why cant we do this for the vibrant

I had asked this before but wasn't sure it could be done. Well now its been done for the EVO can someone please do this for the vibrant. This has become even more important to me now that vlingo is free.
Link to swype with voice for evo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752040
Can that not work on our phone as well, its the beta that determines what phone you have.... PM the guy who made the edits and ask. I would think it would work fine.
I have tried installing it directly as an apk and the install fails. I have also tried renaming and copying over the current skype and this has no effect, aka the keyboard for skype remains unchanged.
I also went as far as to try the original droid x file with the above two methods and had the same results.
Apparently there are some dependencies or other files involved.
Anyone have any ideas?
If I'm not mistaken you are supposed to flash via recovery. I spent like 3 minutes looking at that thread.
Thanks I missed that as was working with the origonal apk file posted. Trying the zip now
Keep us updated, that looks awesome
Ok ran and installed the zip file and no change. No errors but same as when I copied over the skype file manually. The skype keyboard is unchanged. In my case still the grey smoke colored version from eugene's vibrant4 build.
Anymore ideas? I would really love to get this working but do not know enough to reverse engineer what was done.

It would be nice if they shared what they did so we could try to reproduce it. I would love this mod combined with vlingo now that it's free, since Google's new stuff only works on 2.2.
I'll try to find time to download all the APKs from the various phones and see what's different. If you want to speed things up, send me links to all of them.
All I have is the APK file from the above posted link and I believe I have the original droid x apk for skype as well but it appears it is more then just the single skype file.
I have sent a pm to the creator in hopes he/she will share their secrets as to what has to be done to make this work.

Yeah, I thought we wern't supposed to share swype apks on here though, so I was wanting the original one from the droidx as well as the evo in addition to the one in the post you linked to. I can of course get the Vibrant one from my phone. Let me know if the other devs answer you and I'll try to help out.

Does the i9000 have it? Maybe we can borrow their version?
Well.. what do you know? That EVO one works! Instructions..
backup your existing swype, just in case.
adb pull /system/app/Swype.apk swype-backup.apk
Change your keyboard to a different one, I just switched to the Android keyboard.
adb push swype-evo-tts.apk /system/app/Swype.apk
Now change back to swype. Mic button is now there and it works!
bug/oddness: The pop-up that shows you suggestions is now yellow with light text, it's damn hard to read some of them.
This fixes the word choice window to not be yellow anymore. I used the stock graphics files from the Swype that came with our phones.
Metamorph required, market.
Couldn't make this work no matter what I tried. Your directions were very good but they just didnt seem to work. I sent you a PM let me know what else to try.

You have to put them in the swype.apk. did you load it in metamorph? It's not an update.zip that you flash in recovery.
The screen looks the same as googles so maybe it interfaces with it but yes I hit the mic from the keyboard and speak and it works. I know it is somehow interfaced to vlingo as if I turn on filtering so I cant swear in vlingo setup then send a nasty text it filters it out. If i turn off word filtering in vlingo it sends the bad words.

Stock Dialer on MT4G?!

I was wondering is there any way to change the Dialer to stock one.
to be exact:
I know there are ways to change Contacts and Lock Screen to froyo one. But even if you do so, when you get a phone call (someone is calling you) you will see the htc Dialer with the "Drag down to answer" instead of froyo style.
I really want this since if the phone is in your pocket and someone calls you, while taking the phone out you may decline or answer the call!!!
Any help and idea is appreciated
Thanks

You just need to drag up the bar instead of dragging it down to decline a call. BTW wrong section.
Hope this helps!
I highly doubt that you can do change it. Main reason is that it's too tightly integrated into system (I mean half of the crap is in the com.htc.resources.apk!). I can try messing with it a little bit but I seriously don't think that it would work. And even if it works... you will still see Sense-style answer/decline on the locksreen because... yep... framework is highly modified.
Give me few hours, I'll push some files.
Edit: Actually, never mind, I'm not even going to attempt it... it's not going to work.
Please post questions in Q&A section.

[Q] Zips Creamed Glacier v4.01

Hello All,
Just wanted to say that the new update is awesome. I was looking through the settings and I can seem to find option to change the wake button. Is there an option to change the wake button?
Love the new update Zip!

Don't flame him guys. He doesn't have enough posts to put this in Zips thread.
Glad you like the ROM, and welcome to the forum.
I'm about an hour out from being able to install it so I can't answer your question. I can, however, tell you that if you are wanting trackpad wake its not happening on ICS yet.
only option i saw is to set volume buttons to wake phone

I'm a newbie as well, and know this question probably fits better in the dev section, but don't have enough posts to put it there. I have been lurking on here for a while, learned a ton. I've been using Zip's 3.11 ROM for a while, no problems and loved it! I flashed the new 4.01 ROM and ever since have been having trouble with Gmail syncing. It seems my phone is not receiving push notifications. The only way I get any emails is if I manually press the sync button in the gmail app. Wondering if anyone else has this problem or know of anything I could try to fix it.
Thanks!

Have no problem with mine, automatically sync and notify me when I get new email. Maybe try reinstall Gmail again and clear data? Or better yet reflash the whole rom, fullwipe and everything before hand.
@op
The only wake button that u can use now is volume, home button and power button. Zips mentioned touchtap wake is coming, so just wait for it

Don't do this. Just remove your google account and add it again.
Also make sure gmail settings are default or set to your likings or w/e.

I already had wiped/reflashed and then flashed the gapps zip. That seems to fix the problem. I'm wondering if it had something to do with a system data file that I restored using Titanium Backup. I am not restoring any old system files this time.
@estallings15. I thought it might be something with ICS. Good to know. Thanks for the information and humoring a posting newbie. I've been following the forums for a while now. Most of my questions get asked by someone else.

another newbie question
...since I can't post in the dev forum either.
I was previously using Virtuous Affinity with Sense 3.5. I was using the default Messages app there and had a large store of messages. I don't delete often for some personal reasons. I tried to use Titanium backup to restore my messages storage which made the phone process die over and over on reboot.
I know if I had to get them, the raw data storage is in SQLite. I'm just wondering if there's a more reasonable way to get them imported into ICS (Zips CG)?
@playdrums Well here goes something as a newbie trying to help.
One possibility to restore your messages that I can think of would be to restore your previous rom and then download SMS Backup+ back up your messages with that, and then restore/reflash Zips CG and restore the messages with the same app which is included if you installed it with aroma. This will also leave a copy of your texts on your gmail account.

Thanks spork. I have a nandroid backup of my Virtuous Affinity setup. I may be able to do this. I'm liking Creamed Glacier but I do miss Sense a bit. And, don't laugh, seriously, I miss the genius button. Google Voice does not perform as well.
I have the genius button apk. Wonder if it would work on ICS?

Hello All,
Just wanted to say that the new update is awesome. I was looking through the settings and I can seem to find option to change the wake button. Is there an option to change the wake button?
Love the new update Zip!

I'm with you I also installed a few hours ago but am curious about what's going on when I pull up the thread to read it and it seems like it's having problems focusing and scrolling is a Lil slow, is that what's called ROM slowdown, and I also can't post in that thread so if anyone got ideas of what I got to do not only on the phone but also to be able to post in the thread. Someone in there was asking about Swype someone should tell them to Google the beta installer it works. Thanks all

I only saw the volume buttons to, as well as back menu and home but they are hard set for now. Nice so far tho, I tried ice insomnia to, this is a little further along.

I'm a newbie as well, and know this question probably fits better in the dev section, but don't have enough posts to put it there. I have been lurking on here for a while, learned a ton. I've been using Zip's 3.11 ROM for a while, no problems and loved it! I flashed the new 4.01 ROM and ever since have been having trouble with Gmail syncing. It seems my phone is not receiving push notifications. The only way I get any emails is if I manually press the sync button in the gmail app. Wondering if anyone else has this problem or know of anything I could try to fix it.
Thanks!

I did. Sorry, should have mentioned that as well. I've decided to restore back to 3.11 and wait to see how things shape up with the next update. Currently on the job hunt and need my phone more stable than the 4.01+patch was giving me (Gmail not syncing and frequent reboots/locking up). Loving the work done on it so far though!
PS. I'm trying my best not to fit in to the typical noob stereotype haha.

Read a few comments above. Google Voice performs better under Sense ROMs. Zips Creamed Glacier is an awesome ROM, but I honestly just flashed back over to MIUI today for more stability.
EDIT: I forgot to include my point. If you want to use a more reliable version of Google Voice, you're better off staying away from ICS ROMs for now.
