I love the GNII but I still prefer the stock 'people' and 'call' app. Is there a way for me to replace the sammy 'phone' and 'contact' apps with the stock ones?
best regards

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:

Hey,
I have a friend with a S2 from Orange Spain that has now received the official ICS update. Apparently, the only difference from stock is the splash screen.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and I wanted to help my friend get rid of all unwanted Touchwiz customizations without rooting his phone.
I couldn't find a thread explaining what to remove, what to replace and what to keep.
Is there a guide to un-touchwiz without flashing a new rom?
Cheers,
How are you going to remove stuff on an unrooted phone ???????

^^ +1 to this.
Yup, if you just want to replace the homescreen and launcher, then you can just install a third party launcher, but to remove/replace system apps, you would need root.
Thanks!
Is there are stock ICS launcher or just 3rd party lookalike launchers?
Just search the "play store" for launchers.
Apex or Nova as an example of ICS launchers
Or maybe have a look at Go Launcher, probably has more features than most
I would love that someone would make Sammy GB dialer to ics and the Sammy GB lock screen.
I can't go to ics rom because of those. Always returning to villainrom.
Could someone look at these?

Has anyone done this yet? I as well would like to have the GB tabs back for my ICS dialer and contacts.
Hello.
I like a lot the AOSP locker and dialer. I've found a Jelly Bean like locker, called Holo Locker, that works fine.
I'm having more troubles to find the AOSP dialer.
Hello
I'm a big fan of Samsungs Hardware but never liked touchwiz. The hings that annoy me most are the launcher and the Email(Exchange) App.
Is there a way to use the Vanilla ICS pendants without switching completely to cyanogen (when it once will be available)? I would like too keep the few nice add ons by Samsung.
Thx for hints
You could try an alternative ICS launcher such as Nova https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en. Hope that helps some.
An alternative launcher will definitely get you away from much of the touchwiz experience but you will still be stuck with Samsung's email, calendar, etc apps. Take a look in the SGS3 Themes and Apps section. I believe someone there has created a flashable zip to replace the Samsung stock apps with the ICS ones.
Thanks both of you. Nova does the trick for now.
I also flashed the ICS Email but it did not want to work. Guess I'll wait for CM then.
cheers
Would it be possible to have a few of TouchWiz's features, such as S-Beam, the Motion Gestures, the Camera App, the Pop-up player, etc but running on stock Android?
I like the features TouchWiz has, but I prefer the look and performance of stock Android.
Would it be possible to either theme the entire UI to make it look like stock Jelly Bean, while keeping the TouchWiz features?
I'm currently on CM10. I've already seen various threads on whether it is possible to port TouchWiz features on CM10.
I'm willing to remain on stock Samsung Jelly Bean, but I want the appearance of the phone to look similar to that of pure android.
I'm using Nova Launcher to theme my homescreen, and various widgets, however, if you are on TouchWiz when you open settings or the notification bar, the UI is not very attractive, and it's not very functional either - stock Jelly bean is far better in that respect, but TouchWiz's few killer features are absolutely amazing!
Thanks!
You can't have your cake and eat it too
So, is that a no? Because I'd love the same thing. The look of JB Vanilla but with some of the Samsung apps like S Planner and S Memo which I think are fantastic. Would love to get those .apks to use on another ROM.
Yeah, doesn't seem like it's possible!
Although sidthegreatest's point was good.
I'm going to try and set up a dual boot setup instead - with stock TouchWiz operating as my secondary ROM, and CyanogenMod10 running as primary.
Already have Siyah kernel installed!
