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.

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.

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.
I have searched around and have found its somewhat of a "known issue" that on AOSP ROMs you have to use either third party sms/mms app or a modified version to prevent the text notifications from //9016. This I'm fine with but I'm a REALLY big fan of the VVM for checking voicemail instead of calling and listening that way.
Is there any way to get VVM working on an AOSP ROM? I'm currently on Bubs AOSP Magic Original 0.4.1 and digging it, the VVM app is there and a past voicemail is also there but i'm not getting anything new. I just feel like there must be SOME way to accomplish it and still keep the AOSP goodness.
devs must know what component is not in AOSP that is in Samsung stock which causes this, i'd love a patch or something for it. thanks all
I take it you didn't read the hole thread. I posted a fix someone ago. Try searching harder. I'm sick and tired of repeating my self 2-3 times a week in that thread alone and now you started a new one

Easiest way to do this is to go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797239
Under Add-ons and patches download "Stock MMS/SMS", and apply the zip in recovery. I'm currently using Bub's AOSP Magic ROM and this worked for me. However, I have read that this may change your calendar from the AOSP calendar to stock. Hope that helps.

thanks, i'm already using handcent to block the texts. i was going to respond to lord douchicus up above there but thought not to. i was using Bubs 0.2 earlier and had this issue, clearing data from the VVM app seemed to work but only temporarily. and he didnt actually answer me in that thread, i read it over. so i tried it again and it seems like its working now, we'll see though, thanks for the help.
is this solution supposed to fix the VVM by receiving the text messages? or is it just to block the texts, thanks
Why should I waste my time posting the fix that had been posted x amount if times when you didn't spend no time looking for the awnser.

In case you are still looking, here is one way to get it working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10768151&postcount=1
I've searched for a while and I havent been able to find a definite answer.
In one thread that pulled up during my search I read someone tried to install it but it wouldnt work and one possible reason was that they were running a stock odex'd rom.
I too am running stock 2.1. The only modifications I've made is removing the Sprint-ware. But I really want to get rid of the default Epic lockscreen.
Another thread I searched in was the thread with the deodex'd rom and I came across this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8411773&postcount=11
Which says the update broke the Vanilla Lockscreen mod. If I read that right, the vanilla lockscreen didnt appear to work with the deodex'd rom either.
Has anyone been able to successfully get the Vanilla Lockscreen working on a stock device with root? I dont really want a custom ROM since I havent been able to notice a difference between stock and custom. Also stock runs just fine for me.
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried doing all the searching I can with no luck.
YES! I absolutely second this motion. Ha ha. I've actually considered getting rid of my Epic for an Evo based solely on the fact that the lockscreen is the worst designed POS I've ever seen. Up is the most unnatural way to slide your thumb for the most common function on the phone. I'd love to see ANY other lockscreen on here. I haven't looked extensively, but I have browsed and googled it and can't seem to find anything.
Sorry if this isn't the answer you are seeking, but floating around somewhere I believe there is a rooted and deodex'ed (and nothing else) stock ROM. I was using Epic Experience before getting on this 2.2 fix. It's mostly stock and very stable from my experience.
I don't know if I'm the only one having this problem, but for some reason when using myns rom my browser takes far too long to load web pages, if they load at all. I've tried using other rooms and have experienced similar results.
It usually starts out working for a day or 2, but for some reason after a certain amount of time it just seems to give up on itself. I've also tried using different browsers to see if that could have been the issue, but to no avail.
Maybe it's because of the way I flash my roms? I use the "wipe all" zip that is somewhere on these forums and then just flash the rom, kernel, and add ons all at once. I don't think that could cause the issue, but for all I know I could be dead wrong.
I was also considering running the RUU and then re-rooting it just to see if that could also work. But if anyone knows something I don't and could give me some insight, that would be most appreciated.

So many of these threads... you could try another rom. If it still happens then its sprints fault.

I would try it with evervolv but all that rom does is constantly restart my phone. Ill reflash a different rom and text it out. But if that still doesn't work what would be my best plan of action?
Ps. I should have mentioned it in the first post but totally forgot about it up until now. I seem to have the same problem even when I'm connected to wifi, 3G, and 4g. So, I don't know if that matters at all, but I'm just trying to give as much information as I possibly can.
Quickest fix
If you're rooted, use root explorer or something similar to go into system/etc/ and delete the hosts file. It worked great for me.
Would astro work for doing that? And how would I get to that directory?
my Iconia (always more often) flashes in the launcher, flickers and most of the times everything disappear apart the wallpaper...
i have used apex, nova, trebuchet, holo... all (before or later) start flickering and then die... only way out is to kill the launcher or start another one somehow.
my rom is reflexxx stryker rev 4.2 (but i also used cm9 and had some problem)
i have ics bootloader, but i can't say what version, sorry
i have seen some posts about this problem,
most common idea is that the problem is in the ics bootloader.
the only idea of a solution was to go back to honeycomb BL
but those posts i saw where almost 2 months old... so i wanted to ask:
are there any new solution about this? any new hints? any new ideas?
it is also difficult to search about this on the forum.. since i don't know exactly what to search
thanks anyone for any hint.

As far as I know there is no fix. I've tried many different roms and bootloaders as well as MANY launchers. The only way that I have been able to tone it down is to not use Google widgets. But even then when I play something that uses 3d graphics it may still trigger. I've taken logcats and it says something about some sort of video error, researched it a little and found nothing. I hope that someone has a solution.

i tried to use less widgets... but doesn't really change much...
it is very random, but in my experience it appears more often when battery is low
do you feel the same?
i hope it can be fixed, i'm seriously thinking to sell it because of that (but who will buy it..?)

Don't sell it, just flash stock. I tried them all and had problems. Stock for me run's with no problems and the fastest just give it a try and you won't look back.

I went stock for a while and it was noticeably less often, I still had the issue. Especially when playing Great Little War Game. So I just went back to an overclocked rom. I enjoy the performance more than I regret the flashing screen...
as i wrote to JdgM3NT4L in a pm:
my "solution" is to put a home switcher app shortcut in the lockscreen.
so that when it happens i can kill apex or switch to nova
i mirrored my settings in apex and nova (nova can import all apex settings automatically)
that's the way i survive this boring bug
if someone like the "solution" can try it
and maybe hit thanks button

Did you go full stock no unlocked bootloader..? Not just run a stock rom.

I actually did the rollback to 3.1, updated officially over the air all the way up. Complete stock. It was better, but the issue persisted.
Loth, I have not noticed if the charge had much effect, But one thing that I think that seems to trigger it is when there is a game/app going that is using 3d graphics, and then any sort of notification pops up as an overlay. There is one rom that I could get it to do this almost on command. I could have a game going and the check the notifications. 80% of the time that was enough to get the flashing started.
So perhaps what you've noticed could be triggered by the low battery popup?
I can say that the latest Flexreaper ShellSHOCK does this very rarely. Maybe three times in the last few weeks, and I play with the tablet a lot.

i installed latest shellshock, let's see
It happens to me all the time with all the launchers I 've tried. I am in unlocked ics bootloader and stock rom. The same happened with the locked bootloader. I tried the CM10 Rom same results. I removed all widgets from the homescreen with no luck.
If it's in the ICS Bootloader then all must have the same problem or not?
Any solution except going back to 3.2?
To fix it I had to go full stock to Honey Comb then reinstall CWM then install Thor cm v15 and no problems since. I think the problem is the ICS bootloader
After some good times with few troubles, now it is again a huge problem: i almost can't use the tablet it happens every day and more than once.
I think I'll go back to stock honeycomb
