Pushing HTC/Rogers Dialer to supported ROMs

---

I searched the forums and couldn't find a clear answer on this.

Is there a way to push the HTC Smart Dialer to any ROM(Specifically thedudes Cupcake 1.3RC2)? I know the source code is closed source, but it seems that its a matter of morals rather than support that the dialer isn't being included on most ROM's.

I've been using a Rogers based ROM for awhile and I'm kinda spoiled by the dialer. I know its included in most Hero builds, but I'm not a fan of the speed of the Hero builds on the G1 so far.

Not easily. My understanding is that the dialer needs the closed source htc android core, which would need to be ported as well for that dialer to work on other roms. This essentially defeats the purpose of porting it, because you'd basically end up with the rom you ported the dialer from, as a result of porting the whole android system.

not entirely true. Look in the dream applications & games section. I'm working on an easy port with minimal movements of frameworks. I'm halting the porting until I can get a working classes.dex file from a a WWE Hero build.
