Yo! So, I know this phone is kinda old, but I'm still rocking it. My question is based on the fact that I've tried pretty much every custom ROM and I'm currently using CM10 4.2 and I'm really not digging the contacts and messaging app that comes with it and most of the custom roms for jellybean.
So, I am wondering if it possible to replace the apk with an alternative from the play store?
Any help would rule. Thank you so much to the developers for making this phone so customizable and easy to change!

Try aoip it up to date all other roms are discontinued
There are several dialing and message apps in the play store. I think the contacts app I use is Rocket Contacts, or something like that. As for messaging apps, I will have to look at which I am using, but there are several, most of which are good, I would imagine.

I like the aoip contacts but I use Handcent messaging because it's quick reply pop up always works, aoip's only works 3 out of 5 for me.

This is the first time I have ever been near or used an Android phone. I got my i9000 a few days ago and have started messing about with widgets etc. I have been reading this forum for a few months prior to owning an Android phone as technology interests me. I was following a home screen thread and realized I had to root my Galaxy S to be able to take screenshots. Then I found the One Click Lag Fix app that was on the Android market. The lag was something that was really bothering me and now its running really smooth.
So now I have root what else should I do to my phone?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
A couple apps I use that need root access: mybackup pro and root explorer.
Have fun
I'll be sure to check them out. Anyone else?

This is what I thought too. Apart from backing up to the average user, there doesn't seem to be a lot to do!

Flash roms, overclock cpu, clear app caches. Modify system apps (eg make browser fullscreen).
Anything really.
Clocksync - if cell-network time sync sucks.
MarketAccess - if you can't purchase apps on market
Autokiller or Minfree manager - to keep memory tidy (less necessary on the most recent firmwares)
Screenshot - should be obvious.

Just flashed a custom 4.2.2 N7 rom and sure enough, it's there - interesting enough, it's showing up also on my HTC DI2 running GingerBread (custom rom written over a year ago,) no prompt or option to cancel/postpone or decline, just auto-updated (except that it did not have the Location & Search sub-menu like the N7)
Suffice to say - easily integrated without crashing or freezing, enhancement across the board for all Google devices ... I think. :highfive:
The icon looks very unattractive. Now my app drawer has 3 similar icons side by side that are blue (Google Search), green (Google Settings), and red (Google+)
Hhmm, I don't have it. Dirty AOKP. I'll reboot and see
..
OK, after reboot it's there.
Now my Galaxy Note 2 stock 4.1.2 rooted got this...
It came with recent update of Google Play

Yeah, it's for the new Google+ sign-in. You will be able to sign into apps with your Google account once devs integrate it.

I got better.
Xda app and another tapatalk based app for another forum are having force close issues on 2 different devices. My cappy running helly bean 20130426. The other is my htc incredible running cm7.2 . They are both running the most recent versions of the apps. It does happen more often on the HTC. Is it a known issue with the apps or could it be related more to the age of the devices? Any help is appreciated.

Go in settings -> Apps and clear their data.
Didn't work. I've removed and reinstalled even. Only happening the last two weeks.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
try running a debugger or take a log cat after the fc and look for the nature of error. The fact that you are getting it on two different devices sounds like it is something particular to your assortment of apps and any optimizations that you may have running.
I have not had any issues with xda, although I did decide to manually force a close when opening page 1 of a 2000± page thread, Better Battery Stats. It was taking forever to load but it didn't fc on its own.

The cappy is exactly as it is when you install the ROM. I've done nothing but install a few apps and that's it. I have far fewer on it than the incredible.
On the incredible it runs as it does when it is installed as well. Only no gapps and a WiFi only script to kill the radio and some system apps that I deleted. I don't over clock or under volt or mess with any settings other than ones that could be adjusted on a stock unrooted device. It has far more FC's than the cappy.
Unfortunately this is where I show my ignorance. While I have learned loads here I do not know how to take a log cat. This is the first time I've had a problem with anything I've done that couldn't be fixed with a factory reset and redownload.
I rarely get a fc with xda its my other app that has the problem the most. Its motorcycle.com free. Its daily sometimes multiple times and hour sometime in the same 5 minute period. Though I do notice it more with threads that have a lot of pics on them.

Actually appears to have stopped. I downloaded adblocker plus last night and have had a single FC close with the cappy. Don't recall having had one with the dinc either but I'll have to use that more later. It was dying. I'll report back with that later.

It really depends, to satisfy your needs you'd need a rom that pretty much doesn't have telephony working at all yet media working. Its pretty dangerous taking a rom and then removing apps such as the dialer because then things have a tendency to REALLY screw up (or maybe that's just stock).
Probably the experimental ubuntu touch would be one of your best choices.
