Installing a GB phone.apk on an ICS ?

[championc]

I liked the phone dialer screen from my GB Rom because it had 4 tabs across the top rather than the 3 which is has now. It no longer has "Contacts" as a tab at the top.

Therefore, could I install a phone.apk from the GB rom and install it on an ICS stock rom ? I suppose, is it the phone.apk file that controls this or is it some other one ?

I don't think a GB phone.apk will work on ICS.

Good news though: in the new firmware that came out today (LPW), Samsung has added that 4th tab back again. It will just be a matter of time before there are custom ROMs based on it.

Wow, what a timely question !!

Seems bizarre that they ever removed it. It's not as if it took up any more space.

Thanks for the info.

Yes its back but its annoying.... When you go into contacts, its a separate menu now so you have to use back key to get beck to dialer.
