I was wondering if anyone knows of dailer app similar to iconsoft phonex,
its a windows mobile app, but replaces the stock dailer and contacts..
i loved it because you can have a full screen incoming call wallpaper...
i would like to know if there is something similar for the Android...
Like me iam wondering to have a dialer not showing number with name
Its stupid that the dailer show name and number both

yeah with the samsung dialer ,if you lose the screen during conversation, its hard to hang up. I need to open up another dialer and call new number then end call.
You can end a call from the status bar. Just pull it down when a call is in progress

If you have a blank screen press the on-off button to restore screen... works for me.

Yes I miss iconsoft as well. I had it on my touch HD and loved it. The stock dialer on samsung is like a joke. Its pretty amateurish.
For full screen caller id search it in the market. There is an app which does that. I use it and like it a lot. Its a paid app by the way ~3.99$
It ´d be a good ideia if we could port HTC Dialer...

The threaded sms reader that comes with PocketCM Contact is the best looking that i've seen (once you install the Dark Diamond II - 0.3 skin). And it's free!

I use this app, and you don't need to open it for the notification to come up. Just install it and turn off your normal SMS alerts, and it's your default. It's a really, really great program for threaded SMS. It even lets you export all chats into a word file. I just wish they'd come up with some better skins.

Thanks! The TF3D theme is from Lagunadub which is a proper theme. The task bar and bottom bar are Wisbar Advance 3 and I'm using a compilation of a couple different skinners work for that look. I can't take credit for any of it other than customizing it to my likings.

Agreed. What I originally started looking for was a program that had a nicer notification than that of the stock windows notification. I really liked how Vito SMS Chat looked and I've been very happy with it!

I've installed SMS-Chat on a LG Incite and it freezes when trying to use, but if my phone is connected to the computer it works fine. Also, how do you turn off normal SMS alerts. Please help.

I installed a new dialer on my Arc. Please advise how to set it as default, thanks.
go into the applications menu in settings and find the stock dialer app.. select clear defaults, next time you select to royal a contact it will ask you which app to use.

Not 100% sure, but it could be a part of the contacts app.. try clearing defaults in there..won't do any harm if I'm wrong!

Which third party dialers do folks recommend? I'm really missing the HTC dialer which will lookup numbers if you start typing in either a name or number, the SE xperia arc dialer is just pants.
I am using " Go Dialer", it work just fine with intelligent dialer and possible to change theme outlook
Was using dialer one for a while, and it was great. Then the app got updated and all of a sudden required permissions for just about everything on the phone - didnt trust the author, so uninstalled.
Currently using... um... dialer2, which from the name i'm guessing is a response to the bloatware and permissions creep of dialerone. It's a nice simple fast t9 dialer, it's free, and it works great.
Touchpal dialer works best for me.

Thanks folks! let me check these out!
Go Contacts is the best and I think I tried all. They have different themes and the default Go Theme goes well with Arc's dark blue colors. It will be even better if someone can develop a theme for this dialer which will make it look exactly like Arc dialer.
@piercewei
Did you manage to find the stock dialer app in the end? Which one is it? As I'm also having trouble finding it. The contacts app on my phone doesn't have clear defaults button enabled.
Tried to set rocketdial as default instead of "contacts" .. doesnt do the trick.
Cant find any "default" dialers at all on xperia arc.
How do you guys really do when you change the dialer? do you live with the stock dialer at incoming calls and during calls?

I'd really want to know the answer to this question! I'm struggling with the same problem with Xperia Pro.
The Sony Ericsson default dialer sucks, but I'm unable to make a third party dialer THE DEFAULT dialer.
Any help would be useful!
hi,
is there a way to make stock dialer group contacts in call log or atleast not show messages?
thanks
That would be nice.. - ive tried looking for this option but couldnt find it i wonder if it can be done editing a simple line in the apk?
edit:
I noticed you thanked me for this post, not sure what i actually did though , did you find a line you could edit or something? would be nice to know as id like what your asking for too
Thanks

Go to your call log and press menu > view by.
I know it can get messy sometimes with text messages showing up in the log.
For some strange reason you can't filter it do all calls though.
I tried looking for a better app than stock phone, couldn't find one that hasn't irritating bugs/features... it would be really great if grouping was applied in call log...
There is an alternate dialer called easy dial pro from ISOL which looks like it can do the job, but it force closes on my phone when I start it. Give that a try.

How do you enable dialing contacts by spelling out their name on the dial pad? This was my most heavily used feature on my TB. I'm hoping I don't have to flash a custom rom just for this! .. thx!
I know I'm using the exDialer which supports both speed dial (long press a single number) and the dial by name feature. Both of which are lacking from the stock dialer.
I'm also using exDialer and I like it a lot. Way better than the stock dialer.
After you bring up the dialer hit the search button bottom right.

Yes that feature sux as it requires 5+ clicks as opposed to dialing it directly....
honestly there are tons of features that are just missing from this phone that I used all the time on my TB...
like a global search button (?!? wtf google) I never use the google search bar... and I wish I could reverse the home / back buttons...and remove altogether the recent apps button (I never use that either).... i guess my only option is a custom rom? any good ones out there that allow this? Or do I have to replace the launcher? I'd rather not do that tho bc i dont want any lag..... thx!
I use exdialer as well. If you're on a custom rom, there's a cm9 dialer that adds this functionality, but it doesn't work on stock roms.
Use the microphone icon on the google search bar on the homepage. "Call Dave on mobile". Works fine for me.

Oh sweet... thanks!
This was actually something that I thought would be included in ICS stock dialer. Really surprised Google hasn't figured this one out yet. Oh well.
As many others have already stated, exDialer is a free app available on the market that satisfies all your smart-dialing needs. There's even a free ICS theme available as well. I truly love this dialer in comparison to the stock ICS dialer, which was lacking so much - which I noticed right away when I got my GNex. All is well now though with exDialer installed.
Texting as well?
A little off topic but today I transferred all my contacts from my Evo3d to my Nexus. This evening I tried to send a text message and thought I could just type the contact's name into the To: field and have the phone pick it up from my contacts list. It didn't happen. Am I missing something?
thx ill check it out
one weird thing that i've noticed is the avatars for my friends in the contact list is super low resolution for some reason... its the contacts that have facebook "linked" to each contact - any idea how to fix this? It should be showing the full resolution of the image not a 120x120 pixelated image.....
also how to search the contact list for duplicates? HTC does this automatically and suggests that contacts be "linked"..... but on the GN, you have to do it contact by contact which is a PITA when you have 400+ contacts..... ideas? Thx everyone for the help!

switch to go sms pro - its much better than the stock app! be sure to disable the notifications of the stock sms app after u install it.
Pure Android Nexus & AOSP Roms don't include the feature the OP is looking for.
Just to answer the OP's question, pure Google Android Nexus phones have never included the feature you are looking for, same goes for most AOSP roms. CM doesn't include it either.
Seems silly, I don't know why, I always dial people by putting in the first few letters of their name also and the number pops up. Wish the pure Nexus line included that.
Since installing ICS, the phone dialer doesn't have the tabs for contacts, keypad and call logs all under one app. But it did in gingerbread. So I'm looking for something pretty much like the default phone app but with 3 tabs at the top saying Logs, Contacts and Keypad (or Dialer), instead of the two separate apps called Contacts and Phone. The default contacts app has groups, contacts and favourites, and the default phone app has keypad, logs and again, favourites. Well I don't need favourites or groups. I can't really find anything suitable on the market, can you recommend me something preferably with a dark background? Something like this,
http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8216/icsdialere4touch.png
but without all the rooting and mods needed. Also, if I install a dialer app from the market, will it delete my contacts and call logs or will they remain intact? Thanks.

Contact.apk is a system application, you will need root.
Try GoDialer or something like this.

Your contacts will be safe if you install a new contacts or dealer application.
As stated previously you can try GoContacts.
Only dialer that suits my needs (I have tried tens of them) is DialerOne: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kz.mek.DialerOne
try exDialer.. i tried them all and it's the best IMHO.
it also has themes and can slide right for call and slide left for SMS.
Thanks guys. Yeah, I'm liking exDialer a lot so I'll go ahead and install the darker themes. :good: I was expecting a separate call log screen but it's cool how the logs and keypad are together. I also like that it actually tells me 'outgoing' 'incoming' 'not answered' and not just indicator arrows. When I make a call from it then uses the default samsung dialer screen (speaker, mute, headset, add call, end call, keypad). It doesn't matter but I thought it was going to have it's own interface. I also installed aContacts which is quite good but I think exDialer is better.
You can download Go launcher and then buy the ICS PRO CONTACTS is the closest dialer to the one u r looking for mate.
