Hi guys,

here are the deodexed versions of Phone.apk and Contacs.apk - I modded them to fit the Holo style a little bit more.
The "unknown" icon is a little bit difficult to fit the right grey tone, as the same icon is used in both dark and light screens (phone is dark, contacts is light) - I used the same icon as in my Messaging.apk mod.

Copy the apk's to /system/app - set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and delete the corresponding *.odex file if you have an odexed system.
If you want the new dial pad, you MUST use both files, as the phone uses the resources from Contacts.apk. Enjoy!

Think of a backup first! :)

Thanks, the apps look nice. By the way, the content of the Phone.apk is not changed, I mean it is still crippled Motorola's one not the AOSP? If so is it possible to replace it with AOSP or attaching the Internet calling part?

It is :) But for me it works good, I have no need for AOSP one. What advantage does the AOSP dialer have?

@wozn: regarding theming Contacs.apk: AOSP is light, too, and personally I like that. It is not that simple to change all xml's and resources, much fiddling around. Maybe some other wants to do that?

Thank you so much Shaftenberg for all the mods you have posted. Extremely slick near original AOSP look. Finally we get rid of the horribly customized Motorola style.

Maybe you could also change the launcher-icons of these APKs to the AOSP versions.
Also theres also still some ugly in app icons.
- If I hit the search button in either dialer or contacts I see an extremely ugly icon in the upper left corner (motorola contacts icon with a magnifying glass on it).
- In the phone app on the favourites view theres still the grey motorola "people"symbol instead of the stylized smiling AOSP face
These seem to be the last remains of the Motorola look.

Maybe try another launcher (Nova, Apex, ...)? You can customize yourself. Personally I don't like the AOSP icons for dialer (blue phone? bah...), so this is the place, where everyone can do it for his needs easily.

Thanks, will change this!

No, I don't have Moto icons there, only dark and light AOSP faces?! Sure you changed phone.apk and contacts.apk together?

Yes I changed both together. I added a screenshot to see what I mean. The grey silhouette of a head instead of the AOSP stylized symbol.

Yes, I already changed the icons in Nova Launcher, but I still can see the green dialpad inside the apps because the resource inside is not changed.

So this is no demand to change these things, but maybe you also would like to have a consistent look.

The small icons are Moto yes, but the faces are already AOSP ;)
In Contacts they are dark grey, because AOSP-Contacts has a light theme. The phone.apk uses this resource from contacts too, unfortunately.
