I would like to change the layout and size of the photo on the caller id/incoming call screen.
I've seen Photo Contacts Pro - not interested. I just want to use the regular contacts system but have a better incoming call screen. At least a larger photo. This can't be that hard of a hack eh?

Thanks Sebastian, but after trying it, I don't like it. It doesn't seem to work quite like the rest of WM5/6.
All I really want is an app that allows me to redesign the incoming/outgoing caller screen and use the photos already linked in the contacts database on the phone.
Ah well. Looks like I'll be waiting for someone to write it.

So the dialer on Dutty's ROM is nice but it includes the video dialer and there's no point in that on AT&T. Anyone have opinions on the best dialer to use for AT&T? Preferably one that uses the same reddish theme as Dutty's or could be skinned to match?
TIA
I'm using the reTOUCHed dialer I used on my Wizard. The keys are a little bigger which helps (somewhat).
I'm just going to be blunt: Pick a dialer that suits you.
I'm using the I Phone dialer. I found it somewhere on this forum. Easiest to use, for me anyway.
yea cause the keys must be bigger but a bigger key on this stupid small screen pssh. htc needs to work on there screen size man.
I use regular one
I removed phone skin completely, for some reason i noticed every custom phone skin messes up the smart dialing, even though i hide the sim card contacts the smart dialing starts searching shows them, but when I keep the original phone skin the smart dialing does not look in the sim cards when it's hidden.
Please let me know if I am wrong about this, because this has been bugging me for a while, that's the reason I always revert back to regular phone skin.
Is it possible to compile all of the links for non-video (At&t) dialers in this thread?

I second the motion...
I personally like the windows dialer. I find it loads much faster than any skinned dialers.
Post some ****ing dialers. The AT&T dialer sucks.
EDIT: Found some.

I've never played with changing the dialer before that's why I was interested in other people's opinions and there really isn't one good place to find dialers.
Any further input on good dialers (opinions on them and locations for them) much appreciated.

does anyone know where to get Dutty's dialer, the one he uses in his roms?
thanks

When I recieve a new MMS message from someone in my contact list that I have assigned a picture to, the standard WM6 notification that shows the sender, and their photo comes in at the very bottom of the screen and it is half cut-off.
Hopefully this makes sense.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks
Another bump...
Can anyone send me in the right direction (besides the search ) for this one?
hrm. which ROM? which device?
see attached...

I have a kaiser with a stock ROM.
I'm sure this has to do with PCM, and S2V. When you use either of these apps to assign contact photo's the higher resolution is also shown on the notification bubble/window when you recieve an MMS message.
But instead of some sort of "auto adjust", the notification window comes in on the same place on the today screen, but the window is half cut off.
hehe... i think you answered yourself.

Yeah, I know what's causing it, but I want to know how to *fix* it without having to possibly reassign all of my contact pic's with the WM6 contact manager.
Is there something in the registry that can adjust where the notification shows up on the screen??
what i meant was... that you'd probably need to either use it as is or talk to one of the developers to see how to fit the pics differently... or it would throw itself back to different res.
Hi all,
This project started out as my basic mod of SpellDial (by Lawrence Greenfield, thanks for making it open-source) initially, but I've since made quite a number of changes to it.
It is now able to search by both name and number, and you can always use the "#" key to denote a space. Most of the other changes I made are under the hood, but I've attached a few screenshots so you know what you're getting.
Lastly, there are a couple of bugs, among them I believe it only works properly with Nexus One. I've yet to finish up all the mdpi images, and I've also not updated the code for SDK3/4 and below (Cupcake, Donut).
Download: Search "NubDial" on the Android Market.
Source: http://code.google.com/p/nubdial/
Request/Help Needed:
I hope that this will become a community project (but I doubt I'll be able to do much since sch's getting really bz), and would appreciate if someone could come up with a nicer design that still fits the Android look . If you have, please post your mock-up or send them to me , actual 9-patch/images will be awesome.
Change Log:

1.4:
Fixes a regression bug with name matching
*Should* fix hyphen bug
1.3:

Looks awesome!! Where's the download link? Thanks for your work
You're fast. I normally post once when there's a lot of stuff already before I edit it to add more . Link's up .

Haha I actually JUST happened to be checking the forums (which I don't check so often). Looking good and I just tested it out on the Market. Smooth so far, but after a call ends it unfortunately does not go back to the app, but instead it goes to the stock Dialer. I know that's probably difficult to intertwine and you're aware, but just thought I'd post about it!
a good start
Wysie,
I've been following your development of the contacts apk and now this t9 dialer is adds function not currently available on stock dialer. A good start.
Is there any way to merge this dialer into the stock nexus one phone app?
Jonathan
^^ yes this would be cool
Nice idea. I would like to see this tool rolled into your Wycontacts Eclair apk.
Some quick feedback - I am getting FC when searching for a number/contact that either begins with 2 (ABC) or 6 (MNO). This is repeatable and happens every time. I have rebooted and still get FC whenever the 2 or 6 are entered first. Searching with the other keys works as expected. Can I send you any log files that might help in remedying this? My sig has the ROM and kernel details for reference.
Thank-you
works just fine. It wod be cool the app open by dobbel tap on tracbal
Great work .... but can you do the following?
1) Change the icon to represent the standard Dialler Icon?
2) Have the option within the dialler to goto the other tabs, or better still implement this into the standard dialler?
Thanks for your work !
Hi guys, thanks for the support and comments.
Integrating into the system Contacts app is definitely possible, but I'm afraid I lack the time to do that. Moreover it's not high on my priority list.
I made the icon, so nope, not gonna change it . Sorry.
Check out my to do for what's coming next, as well as currently known bugs (would be good if someone can propose a fix).
That's all. Updated a new version to Market which fixes some minor bugs.
A new icon would be nice. Don't get me wrong, but the current one looks strange. You've made a great app, why spoil it with a fugly icon?
Anyway, it would be great if the app searched contact numbers with wildcards, i.e. if I have a number with an international code (+44xxxxxxxxx), I could search it without having to enter +44.
bro wonderful stuff!
feels good using sg products..
May I add in some suggestions to make it even better...
- Add Speeddial (long press a number to dial a assigned contact?)
- Give options to show default number only and hide the rest
- integrate with call log
if all these is made possible, I will uninstall acontacts and use yrs =)
request
Wysie. awesome work but i have one request. it seems it does not find any sequence of digits, it has to search from the begining of each number. when i remeber numbers i dont start with the area code first (as i assume many people dont) so this app would be perfect if it searched for the sequence in any part of the numbers. once again, beautiful app i would pay for it if it had this feature. (and maybe a nicer icon that matched the 2.1 stock ui a little better)
1951 360-5555
insead of
1951 360-5555
i feel like i made zero sense here i hope i got through. lol
To filter out country code at the start is something I want to do but have yet to think of...
Just uploaded 1.3 on the Market which has an option to allow searching from anywhere in the number . Does not filter by country code, it simply matches any subsequence of numbers.
Thanks for the updated version .... I'd love to see the contact photo built into the left of the name too .... just like it is all over the 2.1 phone app.
the prefix issue is how caller id matching works for incoming calls, only the last 6 or 7 digits of the number is searched for.
I am not sure you would want this on a dialer though? for example sometimes I cant remember a name but i can remember the town and therefore dialling code eg tradesmen in the town where my holiday home is so on my winmo phone i would type in just the dialing code to bring a list of contacts in that area.
Anyway I stopped putting in the international prefix on numbers now, the last few times i went abroad it seems that the networks are smart enough to know your roaming and where your have roamed from so no need of idd prefix when dialing back to your home country.

Sorry wysie but im with this guy, I would love to use this as my replacement default dialer but putting this on my homescreen makes it pretty ugly. Looks like a game of sudoku tbh lol trying atm to change the icon with bettercut but having problems.
very nice update, I just wanted to login here to the forum to suggest to you that it searches anywhere in the number
Thank you very much.
Another suggestion: Is it possible to integrate contact picture ? That would be superb
Thanks again for all your work.
Bug report x2:
My Nexus One uses US locale I think but all my numbers are saved as +4670155778 etc. So when the first hyphen appears it'll throw the search off as it appear to search with the added hyphen.
Also, when having language code in numbers (as all my numbers have) you remove the leading zero: +4670155778 is actually 070155778. Please have it match a search for 070155778 as 70155778 to fix this.
Hi, I am currently using HD2 with an officall WWE ROM.
As things are working alright to me so far, I have no intention to get into the business of flashing just yet (not until a year of play around with it before i feel bored~! lol)
However I found the built-in dialer of this offical ROM abit too small, causing wrong dialling sometimes. I have aware that there are a few clever guys who worked on diallers with a much user-friendly interface (such as bigger keys for the number pad, idialer to name one), I found that most of them require to install the whole thing replacing the old, therefore losing the original layout from the offical rom (such as the call history + phonebook interface), which i am quite please with.
So I am here to ask, as I aware that the number pad on the offical dialler could be hidden and I though there must be some setting that limiting it to such a small size, is there any mod or registry setting that I could do or change to make the dialling pad/number pad (whichever why you call it) full screen size, while maintaining the ability to hide inside the offical dialling interface?
THX very much!
You might have better luck in the HD2 forum section. There's probably a thread on dialers there already.
Thanks for your reply, will also try over there~
cheers
