I've been on the GPE firmware for awhile and I'm in love with the dialer. I really want to try out the new Sense 6 ROMs, but I don't know if I can live without the amazing new dialer with Google Caller ID..
Are there any ROMs or mods to use the stock dialer with Sense 6? Just replacing or installing some apks would be great.. A flashable zip would kick ass. Has anyone tried this before or know if it's possible? Thanks..
It is possible. Grab the Phone.apk from a GPE ROM, and put in the Sense ROM. You have to set permissions (I couldn't find any .zip), but rw- rw- r should be OK - after that Reboot is required. Default location of Phone.apk is in /system/priv-app.
Also, don't remove the Sense phone.apk - it'll cause issues even if you have the stock KitKat Phone.apk - this way, you will have 2 dialers (but you can always hide the one you don't need in the launcher).
Has anyone tried this successfully? Does the Google Caller ID work correctly for incoming and outgoing calls that are not in your address book? I read somewhere that someone was having issues where the call log was empty or something.. If need be, I could post the apk if anyone wants to test it out..

Over the past week I have been looking for assistance on having a keyboard I like modded to work with the theme I'm using.
Specs
ROM: Serendipity v6.3 - Theme: ZeuBugTheme (I9000 theme) JS based - Keyboard in question extracted from: Erebos (JPX/U/Y/JS3/JS5/JS7/JS8)
The keyboard is a .apk. I have tried the following to no avail, constantly getting the "Force Close" warning. File name gbkb.apk.
1) Dropping directly into System>app
2) Rename to libjni_latinime.so (not sure if I did it right, but didn't work)
I tried a few other things, things I don't remember that went terribly wrong!
So I ask for help understanding how to make something like this work with my setup.
Interestingly enough, they also have a dialer which I was easily able to replace the DialerTabActivity.apk and have the dialer work. So why not the keyboard?
Pleas ask questions I would truly like to rectify this.
Thanks, Tomween1

you need the gbkb.apk and the matching .so. you dont just rename anything.
drop the apk into /system/app and the .so that is included with the theme into /system/lib
thats it. you dont have to modify anything

OK, this too was one of my questioning areas (earlier in my attempts). Not sure what the so file is that I should use.
Also can these items be inserted into a cwm and be flashed? Not that I will 9don't know how yet), just a need to know

you need the gbkb.apk and you need the libjni_gblatinime.so file for the keyboard to work. i'm using the erebos one too.

I have already installed the dialer but found I couldn't customize the dialer tones
I really used the stock Voice Dialer a lot which has been absent from GV 2.0 and Broken Out. I found the VoiceDialer.apk and VoiceDialer.odex from the RevoZV7GBStock.zip and put them in my /system/app, but it doesn't seem to have done any good... Does anyone know how I can install it? Do I need the .apk/.odex from V8 (I'm on Broken Out)?

Yes! I was able to find the deodexed VoiceDialer.apk in the GingerVolt1.3.zip, copied it to the /system/app, rebooted and it works!!!!! Thank you, MT, without even trying!
Now I'd like to figure out how to deodex some for myself... I'd really like the stock calendar widget.
And just to post some more to myself... The calendar widget is in the stock app installer by MT if anyone is interested. Got what I need, now I need to back it all up...
Hi buddy and devs, I'm now using CM7 with many wonderful features but I miss my stock rom phone's apk. I like to swipe right or left to make a call or sms. So, do you guys know how to port it or add this feature to CM7 rom ?
IF u ar an advanced developer or on your way to be one ,here are the steps that u should follow
1.port touchwiz to cm7 by copying necessary libs,permissions and apks,bins,xbins etc
2.later decompile stock phone,contacts and cm7 phone and contacts apk and look at smali changes between them and make necessary corrections or input.
3.complie phone apk and contacts apk (NEVER NEVER NEVER SIGN THEM)
4.adb push them and set all necessary permissions.
5.SIT BACK AND PRAY.
All the above steps are too complicated and by far summarised so take help from XDA .
Sorry for bad ENGLISH.

So, it's not easy as I thought and maybe nobody tried to do this be4. A lot of things to do.
I'm on Android 4.3 and sense 5.5 on the custom rom - Android Revolution HD 31.6. By default, i have the HTC Emojis but i want to get the iOS emojis. Now i know i'm going to get comments saying wtf is wrong with me iOS emojis suck. But that's just my preference. Now I have tried getting emoji switcher from the playstore but it says this device isnt compatible with this version. So i then tried to manually change it by getting ES File Explorer but that didnt work either because the emoji file type i have is NotoColorEmoji.ttf but the emoji file my phone carries is AndroidEmoji-htc.ttf and AndroidEmoji.ttf. Getting desperate i tried renaming the NotoColorEmoji to both those files but it was no good. I'd really appreciate it if one you guys could help me. Thanks in advance.

On sense and just about any ROM they are no longer stored like that but are stored as images in the frameworks file. You will have to decompile them and manually change out each image and then recompile and flash to your device.

Did you manage to find it? Couldn't see it myself on AFH.
Unable to download the stock ROM to extract at the minute
You need more than the apk. There's a permissions xml and a library module, too.
I would love to use the Google dialer on aosp. Like brizey said, you need more than the apk.
Flash this one in recovery. Its by Thyrus and djdarkknight. You'll probably end up having two dialers and two contacts apks. So you'll have to delete the ones from System/Priv-apps that don't have google in the name. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934552274

Is it blacked out (given the devs that made it)?

No, just completely themable by the theme chooser if your ROM supports it. Layers I'm not sure about.

Did you try it?
I did! Works well!! Not blacked out and is exactly what I've been looking for! Nice to couple with OK Google everywhere.
