[Q] Contacts App on AOKP ROMs - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to have the same, or a similar contacts app that comes default with the SGSII? I really like the functionality it gives by swiping left or right to call/text but the contacts on the AOKP ROMs dont have this.
Is there an alternative that would give similar functionality?
Many Thanks

[Q] Stock Android Messaging/SMS app?

Hey I'm wondering if its possible to have the stock android messaging app on the our SGSII? I really dislike the samsung one, hate the bubble colours and the text compose style it has, been using hand cent SMS instead but I've just been wondering if its at all possible to install the Stock android one instead.
Thanks
i have the same question... anyone?
Hi,
You can install a Custom ROM based on AOSP like Gingermod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220283
It contains the Android messaging apk and then you can customize it by adding the Samsung apps you want.
Cheers
Have you ever considered Go SMS Pro, it's a much more featured app.
Its available on the market for free.
Yes you can, check out this thread:

Port Samsung-Apps to CM9?

any way to port any of the Touchwiz frameworked apps (such as the dialer and contacts, or the clock) to work with Cyanogenmod9? I love CM9 but I miss the smartalarm clock and the contacts apps with swipe left/right to call and message. I tried rocketdial but i dont particularly like it.

[Q] ICS Rom with transparent dialer + fullscreen contact pic

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Back on GB i was on checkrom and loved the ability to have transparent dialer and fullscreen contact picture. I know there are apps that can give u fullscreen contact pictures but I would prefer if its integrated as part of the dialer.
I have tried searching but so far I have not found it and so my question is whether there is an ICS rom with these features? I am currently on crieskelorom ICS. Thanks in advance!

[Q] What is the name of the split screen mod/rom?

I had a rom installed on my Tab which allowed it to run multiple apps at the same time in a kind of split screen mode. (up to 3 apps if i remember correctly). I want to install this rom but totally forgot its name and can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know the name of this rom/mod?
I don't want to hear answers like "Use overskreen"... It was true multitasking with every app supported.

Are you talking about running multiple apps side by side? There aren't any ROMs for ICS or JB that I am aware of that permit this function. I know the new Galaxy Tab Note 10.1 has this functionality and it looks wicked cool!
On the factory-based ROMs for ICS you can use widgets from the Navigation Bar that will overlay email, calendar and notes widgets on top of the app that you are in, but I'm guessing you are talking about something else.

Yes, there really was a ROM which allowes running 3 apps side by side but I don't rember if it was Gingerbread or ICS. I think it was a AOKP based ROM. I had it installed on my tablet and it worked.
Found it. It's name is Onskreen Cornerstone. And the ROM I tested was AOKP based. I think it was a build by Roman the AOKP guy.(http://onskreen.com/cornerstone/index.php)
But I sill haven't found the ROM again.

[Q] CM10/Stock Dialer in a Sense ROM?

Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but, there is no way to truly have the CM10/Stock Dialer and Contacts be replaced in a Sense ROM like Viper, is there?
I don't usually have an issue with Sense stuff, but the tiny, pixelated Contact photos in the dialer, both when receiving and making calls, is ridiculous!
I tried using CM10 as a DD, but I don't think that ROM is quite there yet for the LTE, yet...
Appreciate any help, thanks!
Check themes and apps for ics/jb dialer and instructions on how to install. It's not exactly ideal, sense framework has a lot of changes that hurt compatibility
