Replace Touchwiz Phone and Contacts app with stock android apps - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
I was wondering if its possible to completely replace the touchwiz phone and contact apps with the stock android versions.
I know i can use an alternative app such as ex-dialer, but it doesn't quite replace the whole app (the "call screen" is still touchwiz)
Thanks.

[request] Stock Android Dialer for 2.1

Would it be possible for anyone to post the stock android dialer found on Nexus One?
Thx.
Hopefully the right one.
I think thats the HTC dialer isnt it?
Nope, It's from a Nexus dump i believe.
Blue phone icon, same as Nexus.
Thx, will try later.
Sadly, it doesn't work. It says phone.android.com not found.
You just wanna have the Icon? Serach for "SMS unread count" App in the Market. It has the icons for gmail sms and phone + widget support witht he little iphone like counters etc. you know?
Its a good App!
greets
That is the 2.1 update1 stock phone/dialer app from Nexus. I doubt you can install it to a stock ROM, maybe even a mod ROM.
Like nodq said, if you just want the icon, use something from the market.

I don't need the icon, this would be pretty silly, I wanted to use the dialer, because I like it better than the Sense one. I know DailerOne is similar, but still to confusing, with all the swyping gestures.
Ahh, then I think the only way to get that is either play around with the file and make it compatible, or flash a ROM with it.
Don't like DialerOne either, its too much effort just to find contacts.

Issues with Sense FroYo apps?

First of all, I apologise if this is meant to go in general, so mods can move it, and also if this has been asked before.
Anyway, I can't install Google Sky Maps, comes up with 'Unknown Error -18' and I can install Sense note widget either.
The thing that confuses me more is that I can install any app from CM6/Vanilla FroYo rom (Contacts, Car Home, Home Tips (br0 tips as it is on CM6) and even the CyanogenMod settings. Granted, I can only get to the CM settings via bettercut, and I don't think that most/any work, but still, its strange I can install it at all, right?
Just wondering if anyone has the reason for the strange behaviour.
Cheers

Well i know for a fact that the HTC Widgets like notes will not install on even a 2.1 eclair rom so that's why they still don't install on 2.2.
So its within the rom that allows the widget? I believe its included in LeeDroid.

suggestions for dialer?

Hi,
I'm running CM7 at the moment. Does anyone has a suggestion for a good dialer?

Dialer one is okay

Rom Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here.
@lukyjay:
I've reviewed this thread and it seems like a legitimate request for a Dialer application which is typically classified as a Theme/App - no action taken.
dialer one is ok
dialer2 is better
Whenever i'm on a stock rom i use Youlu.
atakephone is a very good dialer. in my opinion way better than dialer one or 2 or even the htc dialer.
its not for free but very cheap (~1,50€)
if you come from sense use dialer2
it rocks
dialer one
After trying DialerOne for a long time and now using Dialer2 (which is pretty, but very slow) I still find that they're both inferior to the Sense dialer :/. I wish the "stock" CM dialer were better, as right now I feel stuck with a slow dialer due to needing the search capabilities of Sense-like dialers.
Also, DialerOne didn't display contact images in call history despite displaying them fine in the contacts list.
I downloaded yesterday "atakephone", haven't yet tested it fully, but it really looks promising. Worth a try.

youlu is very nice, or dialer one if you want something less pretty and more basic.
If only there was an "old fashioned" phone dialer app where you rotate the wheel until you get to the number and repeat for each digit.

[Q] QuickContact component missing

Hi, I'm using miroslav_mm SDSL 3.0 rom ad I'm having an issue with widget that use quickcontact. I'm using GO SMS Pro widget that shows the contact portrait received SMS's. When the portrait is clicked a quickcontact bar should pop up with shortcuts to call, send SMS or edit the contact but instead a pop out the following message: 'QuickContact component cannot be found in your system'. The same happens with GO Contacts widget.
Anyone knows how to get this working because on Google Play, GO SMS or even GO Contacts widgets say that this is working on Android 2.1 or later so should be working on 2.3.7...

Then it could be something related to SDSL.. did you try to reflash the rom? that could help!

Man, I'm always flashing new roms, now I'm experimenting leoposas zoe 2.0 rom, it's basically sdsl but with some tweaks of his... and when i say i'm always flashing new roms i mean backup contacts & sms, factory reset, format system+boot and then flash new rom. Basically cleanest flash is impossible
I've figured it out, quickcontacts component is embedded on contacts.apk, i'm using go contacts so i uninstalled the stock one.

"Recent Apps" Bug ??

Hello ,
I am using stock rom with root .
I have inconsistency behavior with the "Recent Apps" function (long press on home button) :
Sometimes it show that no recent apps exist, and the list is empty, and after the second try it shows the full list of Recent Apps as expected....
if I try another time (after two seconds!) it show again that no Recent Apps... etc...
Another thing :
Sometimes after holding down the home button to get to the recent apps I'll get the vibration to know that it registered the touch but the recent apps won't open
Is it happens to you too ? Is it LG's bug ??
Thanks.
I'm on stock unrooted and I'm experiencing the same thing. Also, sometimes after holding down the home button to get to the recent apps I'll get the vibration to know that it registered the touch but the recent apps won't open. This is a huge factor in my decision to root and install a custom room soon. I want that recent apps button instead of having to long press the home button.

Exactly ! this happens to me too. I will add it to the main post.
P.S - I don't know if a custom rom will help with this as I didn't see any custom rom mention that.
I've had the same problem at least an year on sgs2, sg note, gnex, sgs3 and now on my g2, all have been running aosp, so I doubt a custom rom will help.
Edit: count in also my asus transformer prime. I also think this mainly happens when running heavier apps, like games.

I restarted the phone and the problem has been gone for the meanwhile.
No need a custom ROM, I'm using G2 exposed with my G2 and it work like a charm, not bug at all. U should try this.

I'm not sure about Exposed...
Does Exposed, in any circumstance, could influence OTA update ?
If I will remove Exposed + moduls, will the system return to the beginning state ? with the original APK's and their signatures ?
I'm asking that because G2 is about to get the OTA soon for 4.4 (Kitkat) and I don't want to miss it.
I haven't got recent bug but I have different. I keep apps in 6-7 folders. But when I restart device 2-3 apps in folders change order and folders (3G watchdog and booking). Does it only happen in my device?
Also an unrelated question. Is there any way to disable lockscreen help?
Not lg g2 user but just want to give you info, it is caused by android doing caching for recent apps. It was the same with my razr maxx before and i know it because i have tried to open the android framework too. On a second time then it will give you the actual recent apps.
