I think the gnex dialer is beautiful but I hate how it does not have t9 predictive text for finding a contact very quickly. What alternate dialer does everybody recommend?

Dialer One gives you this option and seems to work fine on ICS.
Check out exDialer - a MIUI style dialer; T9; supports themes (including a nice ICS theme). I had been using DialerOne for 2 years and recently made the move to exDialer with no regrets
I have tried dialer one in the past but just downloaded exdialer with the ics theme and love it, thanks!

+1 to this. I love it. it even has an ICS theme if you like the light blue color.
TouchPal Dialer is also nice.

Notigo is nice so that it can clear the missed calls. The zip will no longer work with modern versions of CWM but you can still extract the apk from the zip and put it into /system/app yourself and reset the permissions for the same effect.
Can someone extract the main ics dialer's icon and replace the exdialer app icon with it? Then thankfully post the apk here?

I second this. the exdialer icon is so ugly
Found a solution, desktop Visualizer when you pick an icon select an app icon.

It's exactly what I just finished doing so it looks like I'm still using the stock dialer/contact apps. Couldn't be easier.
Typically I would use an Alt Launcher like Go Launcher, pin the exDialer to the bar, change the icon, then hide it in the main drawer.
Find attached exdialer v59 with main icon changed (the one from default phone app). Resigned. Please uninstall existing version on phone before installing or you will receive a certificate mismatch error.

Most ROMs have t9 dialing enabled in the stock phone app now. This was a big pet peeve of mine too, and one of the deciding factors to flash Gummy Nex. That, and the enabled AOSP tethering.
I'm using android Revolution that doesn't have t9 dialing plus others may prefer the Exdialer.

hi, is there any notification software for android which provides notification in phone, sms or mail softwares like it shows 1-2 numbers on top right of the phone, sms applications icon?
That is based on your launcher. If you are using touchwiz, launcher pro, or go SMS launcher you can enable this feature. It will not work for Gmail because of something Google changed.

Just extract the contacts.apk from Nitroz or Sonnys theme and replace yours with it...
To save you doing that, here it is
Nitroz,
I copied the apk and overwrote the existing and its not working. I have an android icon that i think is the contacts app but when i click it it says its not installed. any suggestions or can you tell me where i messed up? thanks!

When I downloaded that file here, it shows up as a green Android picture. It should show the blue icon for Contacts/People ?
I used root explorer and go back to launcher and its empty. Can't find the people icon in app drawer anymore.

Just tried again, totally screwed up phone. Now my launcher shows two little green Android robot icons. I press them says no application.

Yep, did all of that. Used root explorer, move .apk to system/app and replace and set the permission stuff, etc...did not work.
But I have done that same thing a million times for other files with zero issues, like Mms...

Worked for me but couldn't get the andy metamorph to work with contacts so I went back
Its a shame someone cannot refine any of the inverted contact apps. They look good until you want to edit or create a new contact. The headers are white on white font and entry fields have black on black cursors.
and if you hit the photo or place holder in MMS the contact info comes up bright with odd font background colors.
Inverted MMS & Contact apps are beautiful things but they still have some clean up to be done.
I hope someone with the skills is listening.
Any way to edit them?
Agreed, the :O face looks really angry which is weird.
Try sms go pro
haha I know same, I like the messaging app though.
I use Handcent. You can customize emoticons and send emoji smiles to you iPhone friends (or Android friends with Handcent, Go SMS etc.).
They're just .pngs in an apk (think it's systemui.apk). UOTKitchen also has several versions to choose from, though I haven't tried it with the galaxy nexus...so I'm not sure if it's updated for ICS.
I too hated the emoticons. Handcent has the option to use "Handcent emoticons" (not emoji) instead and they are much better.
I reccommend GO SMS simply for the various customizations, emoji plugin, and the notification pop-up.
This are the same emoticons form honeycomb... just ugly...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
As someone said above - you can replace them in UOT Kitchen or pull framework-res.apk and do it manually. Really easy.

Have you experienced any issues with Handcent on ICS? I would get FC's alot when I was using it.
Instead of modifying, would it be possible to remove emoticons completely? I wonder what would happen if somebody just removed those pics. I will try when I get my nexus back from service.

That should do. Or in worst case you can replace all smileys with transparent .PNG's
Does anyone know a good SMS app that uses the holo design language? I've been using SMS Pro be am getting to the point that I dislike using apps that don't use the new (can it still be called "new") holo language. In some ways it shouldn't even matter because the Nexus devices can be flexible with their menu button. But I still dislike developers that make Android look old and dated
So I'm at the point where I've gone back to stock messenger but want (for example) a dark theme.
Does anyone have any ideas of a holo themed SMS app. (Holo themes for Go SMS Pro and Handcent don't count as the menu button is still in the wrong place.)
Here's a holo-themed stock messenger:

Here's another nod for ex dialer. Love that app. Stock dialer takes too many pushes to make a dial. Ex dialer brings me back to the great dialer I was used to in blackberry. Another good thing is it doesn't interfere with default contacts, plays very well with it.
