Stock Contacts/Dialer

[guster14]

Does anyone know where I can find the stock 2.1 Contacts and Dialer .apk's?

Are these even possible to install as .apks? I'm trying to get my phone to as close as stock as possible without rooting. Thanks

i am very interested in this as well, but i think we'll have to wait for root or mods to get the stock dialer, contacts list, sms app and keyboard...

i'm afraid there's only a few of us who /don't/ want the HTC modifications to Android on our phones...

If anyone finds these I'd also like them. The HTC sense ones leave out too many options and replace them with fancy icons.

Add me to the list.

Bump...

Is there any reason the n1 dialer, contacts and sms app can't be ported/installed on the incredible?

We've gotten a few things, clock, gallery, etc...

They depend on the stock framework and without root , they cannot be installed. I'm pretty sure that if you try to install them it'll tell that the application already exists.

ok, i was wondering if there was something prohibiting the install... thank you for the update.

bump, now that we have root, has anyone had success getting a stock mms.apk, contacts.apk or phone.apk installed?

without removing phone.apk and mms.apk from the device, contacts.apk is the only one from the n1 dump that will /attempt/ to install, but it fails.

i assume, once the stock phone.apk and mms.apk are removed, the n1 mms.apk and phone.apk will also fail to install, so something needs to be modified, but i don't know much about all of this yet, i imagine i will learn a lot, as roms are released and kitchens, etc...

but if anyone has ability, and wants to take a whack at it, or point us in the right direction for learning what we need to do, please let us know...

otherwise, i suppose we wait for a vanilla rom to come out... here's hoping the nand flash is hacked soon...

You cannot "install" those sorts of apks. You simply have to copy, move or push them into the folder with rw access. It just overwrites the old file and then it will function if it can. If you overwrite the apk with an incompatible one, you will probably crash your phone. You also have to be careful because a lot of applications are dependent on each other.

To remove Sense means removing about 90 applications since they all depend on each other. If you do not remove them all, you will have compatibility problems and a lot of fc's and possibly boot loops. You also have to make sure you have replacements for most of them. Then there is the whole framework issue. Our phones are built and configured to work with Sense and the htc framework. You could probably manage to remove most but not everything without messing up your phone. Since we do not have a way to do a nand backup yet, I would just sit tight.

If you want a phone without any residual bits of Sense, you will want a Cyanogen based ROM. It has no Sense whatsoever.

For now, there are a few good apps in the Market for free that can act as replacements for most things like your contacts, launcher and mms.

If you want to do an easy Sense removing mod that requires root, just search for removing the htc lock screen. It is very easy and will give you the standard Android lock screen with the tab unlock feature. You will, however, lose the music player and notifications on the lock screen that htc has programmed in.
