Replacing touchwiz contacts.apk and phone.apk - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi short question here. Is it possible to replace my touchwiz contacts.apk and phone.apk with the contacts and phon.apk found in stock ICS. Tried searching around the forums but found no definite answer, some said yes others said not possible. Would like to ask around before replacing system/app with stock ics contacts.apk and phone.apk. I'm rooted on stock tochwiz 4.0.3.Thanks alot !

Did you mean replacing Samsung's contact.apk for Aosp one?

Yup, loving the design of stock ICS dealer and contact app. Wondering if that is possible?

i want to do the oposite, is this possible? To put the phone and contacts from samsung into CM10 or CM9.

If you are on custom ROM then it may be possible

Hi, any progress with this? I'd really like stock dialer and contacts on my phone!

Have a look at chameleon ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30570003

Mms photos showing as videos (fix)

After installing the cm7 mms apk I can't go to the settings without the app force closing. Has anyone else had this problem. I've tried rebooting, and reinstalling the app.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 (AT&T)
Have you flashed cm7 twice? Many times it takes at least two flashes for everything to work properly.
Sent from my páhhōniē
I only have the mms apk from cm7. I'm using un-named rom.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 (AT&T)
That would be the reason then. Aops apps would at best be hit and miss to work on stock.

Did u fix permissions to be the same as the other files in system/app???
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I just corrected the permissions and it is still force closing. I don't remember having this problem before. I guess I can deal with not changing the settings.

Don't use the mms.apk from cm7 and you'll be fine. Cm7 is technically a different os than stock.
Sent from my páhhōniē
I use the cm7 mms apk on all my stock derived roms with no issue at all.
Much nicer than the samsung crap.

Can you post your mms.apk that works for you?

I also had the same problem when I was running UnNamed ROM. I ended up flashing the mms.apk from h8s2 and it worked fine. I also searched and searched through the Galaxy S2 MMS Slideshow threads and found a working mms.apk someone had posted. I ended up switching to MIUI though and haven't gone back.

You can use root explorer (see signature), or I'll post a flashable zip a little later.

[Q] AOSP Dialer + Contacts app on Stock ICS LPQ

So my question is, is it possible to have the AOSP dialer/Contacts app running on LPQ and if yes is there a link somewhere to a flashable file?
I'm sort of disappointed Sammy decided to keep on using low rez Contact pictures for incoming callers.

Should work, rip out the phone.apk from AOSP and replace using Rootexplorer.

is there any chance you can post the ripped phone.apk? would be really appreciated!
you should root your phone so you can replace application but by replacing phone.apk u will face crashesh and unusable phone.
flashing custom roms is the way.

Getting JB system app on ICS

I was wondering if it was possible to get the JB browser onto ics. I put the apk in system/app with the correct permissions (-rw-r--r--) and rebooted but it doesn't appear. Is it not possible or am I just failing

even though they are still in the 4.0 branch, ics apps and JB are still built on a different framework, so I don't doubt it not working... especially if you're trying to put the ics TW browser back, then it's definately not going to work...

Yea I thought I was in the S3 forums... even though they are both AOSP browsers, still the difference in ICS and JB probably won't allow it to work... You could try putting the file into system/app and rebooting into recovery, fix permissions, but I doubt it will work... The .apk will most likely need modification to work...

Hmm dang okay well thanks for the help. I will try to fix permissions see if that helps. Probably won't.
EDIT: Yeah it didn't work. Thanks anyways!
A lot of jellybean apps have been ported or made to be able to work with ics check android apps thread and play store

I much prefer the JB Browser over ICS browser and Chrome. Chrome crashes frequently whenever I pull up the keyboard and ICS browser doesn't have as nice of quick controls

[Q] AOSP apps on Sammy ROM?

Hey,
I just got back to Sammy after using CM10.1 for a while. CM is a great rom and has a lot of benefits but have some serious bugs and the battery life isn't so good.
Now I'm using Sammy but really miss the AOSP experience...
Is it possible to get the apps from 4.2 to Sammy?
I found the camera/gallery and the launcher which I just put in the system folder and used it normally.
I'm looking for Phone, Contacts and SMS apps.
If someone can help me find/install this on my rom I will be grateful!
Thanks in advance
i know i have those files and they work flawlessly on my foxhound rising 1.9 rom for s3, anyway i will have a look when i get back home and post them up for you mate

Contacts and dialer directly from CM won't work. They're too embedded in the framework.
good working AOSP SMS (dark-blue), Be carefull and make backup: the cwm will delete all your SMS's!!!

Does the SMS will work good on 4.1.2 EMA1 rom? because I saw in the zip that something is changed in the framework.

Is there a regular version of the messaging app? (not black) Or I can just take the mms.apk from cm10 and replace with your apk?
Thanks again!
