[Q] Gingerbread themed Dialer?

---

Hi everyone,

I followed reverendkjr's tutorial to install khalpower's v4 rom onto my phone. His tutorial starts with the miuioptimizedv3 rom first, then builds on it using updates.

Afterwards, I wasn't able to Metamorph anything, so I used ZipThemer to install owq's Gingerbread theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955698), which worked! However, the Dialer did not get themed and remains in a broken MIUI theme (can provide screenshots if you'd like), and I am not sure how to theme it...

I would like the Gingerbread dialer that, if I remember correctly from Metamorphing in 2.1, came after applying owq's Metamorph. Is there any way to accomplish this in the state that I am in?


Cheers!

Looking at the Morph the only things I see changed are Framework-res.apk & services.jar. (Does the dialer pull graphics from framework-res ?) If it does I would think you could push the default dialer from Dexter's ROM.

Hey 3rdstring,

While I am trying to improve my android knowledge steadily, I have not tried pushing apks using adb before. Could you tell me how to go about this please?

Should have done more research

I found unyaffs, which decompresses nandroid backups, and decompressed the stock 1.3 nandroid. Then I pushed Contacts.apk and Phone.apk into /system/app, and tada it's Gingery

My memory failed me. The metamorph doesn't theme the dialer, but I remember the gingerbread dialer from using Khalpower's 'custom' apks from this post:

I tried pushing Phone.apk and Contacts.apk from his files to a few emulators (eclair and froyo), but they both failed (I wonder if that's the fault of the emulator, not my device.) But then I pushed them to my device, and the apps wouldn't appear in the main menu anymore (also couldn't make any calls). Any other tips?
