Does anyone have the new 1.6.2 version installed ?
Says it comes with handScent SMS and k9 mail.....but what I want to know is, does it also have the stock android SMS and mail apps also ? In case I didn't want to Use a third party app.
Actually.. I tried the both unrevolved and the captjager (senseless) roms, while they don't have the sense ui, they still have all of htc apps. So its kinda of pointless IMHO.. I can disable the senseui with the HTC build.
If you want pure vanilla the Cyanogenmod is the only one that I know of. I am running this one and it has its own bugs unfortunately. But it is really fast I must say. The biggest bug that I notice is some screen tearing.
I'm also currently running the CM test ROM. While I love the speed, and my battery was amazing on day 1 (only light usage, but i only drained 15-20% all day yesterday on my 1500mah battery)....I want something with a few less bugs for now. Thinking of running one of these other ROMS until the full vanilla (hopefully FroYo) gets a little better.

why does facebook have sync problems( i.e with contacts)
I think its because its still based on the HTC sense rom witch syncs facebook with friendstreem.apk, not the android facebook app. If you go to options in the android facebook app the contact sync options arent there. If you push the friendstreem.apk (you can leave the widget off) back onto the phone it should sync facebook again.
I installed this rom and thought it was okay then i flashed the non-oc undervolt kernel (w/o n wifi) and my phone hasent been better. Surprisingly it made a huge difference. Im still using jagers vanilla rom of course

I searched through pages in development but couldn't find anything on it is there a way to make the picture widget to work on CM7?
No htc widgets will work on cm7. They rely on the sense frameworks.
You cant even use the sense widgets on stock rom if you use a different launcher.
Thanks, any widgets similar to the one i am looking for that can be doeloaded from market where you can swype to change pictures
Not that im aware of, if i use one at all, its the stock one that only lets you pick one picture.
I currently own a ATT S4, it's rooted with Wanam Xposed Framework, Nova launcher, Stock Nexus messaging app, etc... And I must admit I really like this phone a lot, after having an Nexus 4, and Galaxy Nexus before that. The battery life on this S4 is freaking amazing, easily 50% better than my Nexus 4. I get 5h -5.5h On Screen time every day, and I really like the 1080p screen, very beautiful. And this phone is plenty fast for me, no lag with Nova set to "Faster than Light"
TouchWiz is pretty much hidden away with all the other .apk's I have installed. But the one thing I HATE on TW is specifically the Dialer and Contacts. Swiping to make a phone call is ****ing stupid, and not being able to swipe from the contacts to the phone dialer is another mistake.
And pressing the Phone app, or the Contacts app, are the only two apps, that have a slight pause or delay, not really lag, just a pause till it opens up. No other app does that, everything else opens up in a blink of an eye.
But other than that, I do like TW, and the other cool features it has, and I use. But would love to find a stock Nexus Dialer and Contact .apk, but not sure those would ever work on a TW phone ? And I can't flash any zips, due to being on MF3 firmware I can only do .apk's with Root Explorer. Is there something similar to the stock Nexus dialer/contacts on the Play Store ? And something that is not laggy or worse than even the stock TW ? Some of the Play Store might look like a stock Nexus app, but are actually slower, and worse.
I found this app on the Play Store, and it seems very much like a stock nexus dialer, pretty quick, and light

Checked my Greenify settings, this 'dialapp' is running big time in the background, with lots of wake times. Looks I need to delete it now. Dang, can't I just install the stock Nexus dialer from an older 4.2.2 build, and delete the Samsung TW dialer ?

Try exdialer and contacts that's what I use and love it. You can change the interface to make it look like how you want. Try it out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modoohut.dialer

I tried both apps, Dialerapp and ExDialer, and they were good, but still have TouchWiz running behind them, when pressing to hang up, it shows the TW interface there, or some other areas still show TW. I thought these apps would erase and get rid of TW 100%, guess not.
I suppose I could try to delete all Samsung Phone / Dialer .apk in /system with Root Explorer ? Would love to be able to push a 4.2.2 based CM10.1 phone.apk, but I think that might screw things up ?

Find a guide to try flashing the zip. I think either you would have to change the script of your device and edit it or flash the zip via safestrap. I usually look into the international theme forum they have a bunch of great ports that work for our phone also.

was there any solution????
Hello just wondering if it is possible to replace the phone and contacts with something from stock...
I feel ya, I can't stand the dialer and contacts on TW. Only way at the moment is to install CM12, builds for the different variants can be found here on xda

Why not try "Rocketdial" at the play store.
It's excellent and it's a 3 in 1 app.
It has contacts, dialer and optional full screen caller id all in one app.
It has a whole lot of options too. ( fully compatible on all android phones.
Check it out here:

Have a happy new year!
i am using ExDialer since almost a year now... i find TW dialer app boring...
I find that all these dialer apps simply overlay on top and route to the the TW dialer anyway. I tried a few of them.
I have used rocket dial, exdialer, angel dialer, and some other 2 or three, very disappointed, horrible lags, in some cases, first appears the stock dialer, then the replacement, yes, I think, they are redrawn over the stock one, so, its worst to use them for me
Try touchpal contacts or contacts+. Anyway for me iprefer the default dialer. It has a lot of functions
Hi!
I am a big fan of all dark theme, I desktop is entirely black, all the buttons are hidden, and the only thing I miss about my Samsung galaxy S3, was the stock SMS/text messenger that came with android 4.2, and I think android 4.3.
I've included an couple of example here. What is the closest theme that I can get to match this theme?
I really can't stand the multicolored lollipop cutesy wusty pink popcorn dancing hippo, Disney happy squirrel themes. I prefer a more commando approach.
Here is the theme I am looking for.
Ideas?

Next SMS
I use Next SMS. ... you can customize pretty much every aspect of the app.. colors for everything.. background.. etc.. download different themes.. etc..
Use go sms. And look for a blank themes..

I am wondering if there are any ROM's that will cover some of this. My problem is, I have to get one SMS app, and then add another dialer app, to get the look that I want, and sometimes one extra theme. I'm hoping that a ROM will come up, that will just essentially be like Kit Kat 3.1, in both messaging and dialing departments.
On that subject, does anyone here know better of an android ROM, or overall theme, that looks more like older android, that will handle all of this in a single swoop?
Thanks!
