[Q] AOSP dialer alternative? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

One thing that keeps me from sticking to the AOSP Roms is the dialer. I hate the whole contact scrolling and not being able to just type and it auto searches possibles. Unless I am just totally missing a setting lol.
Is there another option to the dialer for AOSP? I actually really enjoyed Decks and CM but I can't do the dialer. lol

You can try Go Contacts or Dialer one

I was hoping for a non app alternative. Basically to completely replace the dialer and not just add another one. I will give them a go though. Thank you

Well, if you're in the AOSP dialer and press search you can type whatever name you want?

That is what I am wanting to not so. In the Sense dialers I can just start typing and go with out an addition search button.

Getting the android keyboard and the sense camera?

Over the last couple of weeks I've been switching between vanilla (aHero, Vanillian) and Sense (Defiance, Villain) roms, and both have their advantages. Since I'm quite hooked on Home++ I don't really care about the launchers, but the camera app on Sense 2.1 is far superior. Vanilla Android, on the other hand, has a great keyboard.
What I'd like to know: is it possible to either get the Sense camera on vanilla or the vanilla keyboard on Sense?
Thanks in advance for any help and replies.

Is there an apk for the android keyboard? It is sooooo much better.
Android keyboard for Sense
Flash the attached file to your phone. After flashing, go to an app where you can compose text (email, sms, etc). Press and hold the area where you would type. A popup will show up, select input method, then select android keyboard. Done! Works great!

Why is the keyboard size so big?
Does it connect to the internet for voice to text?

The voice to text is supposed to work, so I assume you are correct...

[Q] Dial to extention number

Hello,
I was using RCMix V3.0 A2SD+ which has HTC sense.
I can use this number +886222222222pp357 so it will dial number +886222222222.
And after it connects, it will have 2 pause and then automatically dial extion 357.
Now I'm trying Oxygen V2.0.1.
I cannot find how to type "pp."
I searched on internet and some articles said that ",," is working but I couldn't find how to type ",,".
Could anyone teach me this?
Thank you.
Hi,
This is my first post, so easy on me...
Did you try the Dialer One app? It's on the Android Market. That might solve your problem.
Or
p pause 2 second delay put in comma in place of p ","
w wait for input from user ";"
I don't know what your keyboard looks like, so I don't know how to tell you to enter a comma...
Thank you.
I tried ",," to replace "pp". It really works.
However, I couldn't find how to type ",," in dialer one.
I can only add ",," from Google Contacts.
Could you teach me how to input it in Dialer one?
how to enter comma
I'm using CM7 (Gingerbread).
Note: When in contacts, this is how you would create a new contact or edit an existing contact. When in a dialer app, this is how you would call somebody on the phone, as in dial. Sorry I see that Dialer One is not required to enter a comma. However, it's a nice dialer app instead of the stock android one.
For me in contacts to get a comma I press the symbol key, which is the lower left key, and then a symbol keyboard comes up.
In stock dialer I press the hard menu button.
In dialer one, same, I press the hard menu button.
I'm going to try attach some screen shots.
Thank you cpoxda.
This really solve me issue.
Really appreciate!

Try typing "\n"? (Joke)
Anyways, I hadn't run into this issue yet, but I can definitely see this annoying me...
Anyone know if line breaks are removed in SMS messages? If they are, this is really a non-issue I guess.

No, you can use line breaks but the official Android keyboard + messaging app combo never had an "enter/return" option in the messaging app. It was always replaced by the smiley button. ICS is no exception, you'll have to either use a different keyboard or SMS app if you want line breaks.

Dialer

the dialer on Gnex is stock android, which is without the quick search function.
i know we can achieve the quick search by installing other dialers, but i just dont want to loose the great look of stock dialer!!
any suggestions?
thanks in advance
Sorry I am not positive what you mean by quick search. If you are referring to how the old diallers would bring up contacts as you type their number you can still do that by opening the dialler and going to people and pressing the search button.
it isn't on the main dialler screen but it is in the app. may be a solution for you
If you are rooted CM9 has a T9 dialer. Many of the ROMs have incorporated this dialer.
Also if you are rooted and on a 4.0.3 ROM you can replace you're dialer with the CM9 dialer.

[q] how to change ics stock dialer to another ones

Hello guys
the problem with impossibility change stock ICS dialer by another one from third party is driving me crazy... I tried everything including factory reset and complete wipe. Always the bloody stock dialer come up when use any dialer from the market. Even if I swipped launcher and phone icon on home screen. Third party dialer itself works OK, but when dialing I always getting stock ICS dialer!!
Kinldy ask all for help how to disable stock ICS original dialer that I hate!
Thanks indeed
Ciao
Go to settings for the phone.apk and clear defaults.
I did it, but when dialing form eXdialer, always stock comes up..., I rebooted phone after change, but still in troubless...
any clue?
If you mean the actual dialing (call active), you can't change that. Dialler is the app used to find the number, and the call itself is done through the stock dialer.
Swyped on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
I recently found the answer in another thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388274

How can I change the default dialler for SGN so I can use Dialer one or Go Contact EX? it wont come up with the action request pop up.

The OP answered it himself, and did so by updating the #1 post, so it might not have looked like the answer...
The phone icon in the launcher is actually a direct link to the phone app so you just have to replace that with your own chosen dialler app! in 2.x it was a link to the default phone app but in ICS it is different.

So, just drag the phone icon off the bottom area and drag the alternate dialer you want to use down there.
Thanks guys for help.
To make it short, the main problem with dialer is that no possibility of SPEED DIAL. This has been solved by using shortcuts on second home screen for frequent calls. The key problem is impossibility to see right below the contact also a company. Actually I register roughly 1.400 contacts in the phone and not always sure about which caller belongs to what company once I get ring up. So I see only the name and not sure about company that the guy comes from.
Maybe some solution is already existing, so I would really apreciate it from you
Ciao
