how to set 3party dialer as default

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.

my problem is I couldnt find the stocked dialer in application menu...

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!

This worked! Ive been trying unsuccessfully on my MT3G without any luck. Doing this fixed it all. Thanks for the suggestion!

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!

Facebook font trouble.

I switched the font on my phone, facebook switched as well. I'm now tired of the font but facebook is still stuck on the first font I installed. I un-installed and reinstalled facebook and the first font that I installed is still stuck. Anyone have a solution?

I would really like to fix this.

how did you install the font? Did you do it though root explorer and change the names of the font reboot ect or did you use some font changer app?
you could try :
•Home Screen
•Menu --> Settings
•Applications
•"All"
•Select "Facebook"
•"Clear Cache". If you want to delete ALL data, choose "Clear Data"

I used a font changer app, can't remember which though. I may have used rom toolbox pro, but like I said, I can't remember. I cleared data through settings and the font is still stuck on facebook, this is getting really annoying. Thanks for your suggestion.

Sure

try installing another font style in rom toolbox pro then reboot then go back to rom tool box pro and set back to defaults i think there is an option in there to do that let me know

I don't see an option to set back to defaults.

Maybe try to Clear Data and Cache on your Facebook app? You will probably have to input all of your log in information again but I feel like that would do something.

disable factory messaging app?

is there a way to disable the factory messaging app?
i'm using Go SMS Pro.
when one person sends me a text with an emojicon, the default app indicates i have new message.

There is no option in android to disable this, I use Handcent SMS and there is an option within the app to disable the default messaging notifications. I would think there would be a simliar option in SMS Pro but can't say for sure as i have never used it.

Good point, I'll dig into the settings.

Why not just hide the icon in the app drawer by pressing menu then hide app. Ive never disabled the messaging app before but i could picture it making you unable to recieve messages.

Or just disable notifications on the stock app.

If you running latest update (stock) to At&T galaxy s III you can go to aplication manager click ALL find Messaging click on it and click disable. You get warrning just click ok.

Came here to say exactly this. You will have no adverse effects. I rocked GoSMS (which is good for group sms, popups, and mms but terrible otherwise) for 4 months with messaging disabled in the app manager. It will go to the bottom and never make another peep until you re enable. If you uninstall go or other sms apps you will not get messages though.

If you want to totally disable the app. I used TitaniumBackup to freeze it. Ultimately, I ended up uninstalling it all together, because I was getting a weird notification with every text I would receive and started using GO SMS, but I hated it, so I reinstalled the messaging app and haven't looked back. To my knowledge, that's the only way to actually "disable" it. Otherwise, turning off the notifications and hiding the app should serve you well.

[MOD] CM9 SMS/MMS App inverted with Touchwiz speech bubbles and much more tweaks

i try to use that MOD (as stated above). BUt the display of my screenshot is not the same with the one in the that thread.. how to change it to look exactly like in that thread??
can anyone help me???
the attachment is mine screenshot..

Wait, I will bring honeyx to your thread, maybe he can help you

The screenshoots are not made by me, but the guy who edited the app. He made the screenshoots on a different device with a different ROM, so on Arcos CM9 the colors appear a bit different as the app is framework dependent. Yours is looking nearly the same like on my phone with the current beta. Just on mine it appears a bit more blueish and yellowish now and I like it that way, so nothing to worry about.

Go to apps and delete data for the MMS app. Relaunch the SMS/MMS app and reconfigure the settings. That should fix it.

Not sure what is shown for you as messaging. For me it shows the blue SMS/MMS icon of this app and next to it there stands "SMS/MMS". So if it has the blue icon of this app, then yes, else it´s not the app you are looking for.

[MOD] Inverted Email color

I don't know if this is really a mod, and it's not really a theme. This simple edit will change the appearance of the email app, to make it more closely match the look of the contacts, dialer, and sms apps.
You must be rooted. Navigate to /system/csc, and select feature.xml.
Scroll to the "Email" section, and change this line from this:
<CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>true</CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>
To this:
<CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>false</CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>
Save, exit,
Make sure permissions are set to: rw-r--r--,
and reboot.

It just turns the white background of the app, black. The actual body of the email will look like it always did.

Makes me wonder why Sprint chose the light background, when some of the other carriers went with the dark background. To me, it flows with the rest of the UI better.

I agree

Make sure your file explorer has root, and R/W permissions, and be sure to save the edited file before you exit. Then reboot. I've done this mod with Root Explorer, ES File, and Solid Explorer. What file explorer are you using?

I prefer the black background as well, but the dark grey on black for the message list is hard to read. And the actual emails still being white is a big downer as well. Oh well...back to K9 Mail for me.

Haha, but HTC was just about as guilty with the white background, for several years, even back in the Windows Mobile days. The sad part is, I was too ignorant to know any better.

Worked great... hated that grayish background... thanks!

I edited the OP. After you save the edited file, make sure the permissions are rw-r--r--. Twice, during my testing, the permissions changed after saving, for some reason. So, just verify the permissions are correct, before you reboot.

I noticed that I lost my secondary selections on my keyboard after this mod. No more comma icons etc. I tried to reverse the process numerous times. The mail app stays black and my keyboard stays this way. Any ideas? I guess I'll just nand back otherwise.

You may have inadvertently changed something, while scrolling, or whatever.
In feature.xml, scroll to the SIP section. Make sure these lines match what you have:
<CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>en_US;es</CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary> <CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>true</CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>
As far as I know, it has to be exact. The entire entry can't have any extra spaces, or stray characters.
Save, exit, make sure permissions are rw-r--r--, and reboot. Hope this gets you going.

Thanks I'll check it out right now.
No dice. Everything looks right. The email app stays black and still no change to keyboard. It's rw r r. File saved properly etc. Weird.

That is strange. When I first flashed the LK8 leak, I had the international keyboard (no secondary keys). The Sprint feature.xml has the secondary key keyboard by default. I've since searched, and found out that the international Note 2 owners added this entry to their feature.xml, to get the 'US' keyboard. Are you on the viperboy's latest version of the leak? There is no reason I know of, why it won't work.

It's alright. I got it back by grabbing another feature. Xml file from a backup. No worries. I may try it again Lllater and see if I can replicate the issue.
