[REQ] HTC Dialer

Can HTC Desire's dialer be installed onto Nexus one? Without rooting?
I am deciding... which one to buy.. Nexus one or Desire? After a lot of thinking and reading, HTC's smart dialer is the only thing I will truly miss on nexus one. After using touchflo/sense on WM for years, I have grown tired of HTC's eyecandy...but their dialer is just too..hmmm...smart!
PS: okay.. may be Desire's black theme too.. can nexus one theme be changed to black? without rooting?
PPS: I don't have anything against rooting... I will do it soon..but I want to first get comfortable to the jargon of android world and figure out things.

This is about the third or fourth thread in this forum asking exactly the same thing. The answer is no. None of the HTC apps will run on stock Android; they depend on HTCs framework, which is proprietary. The only way to use the HTC apps is on an HTC ROM, like Desire. But you CAN start with a Desire ROM, and push all the stock apps to it, and morph the statusbar back to light-colored, so it feels aaaaaalllmost the same as stock, but with HTC apps. You don't have to use touchflo (Sense, as it's called on Android) just because you're using a Sense-based ROM. Make sense?

yup. thank you.
Is there any other smart dialer available? one that can be installed?

Try Dialer One from the market

My vote goes to Nubdialer from the market...

"Dialer One" better than HTC.

+1 it acts just like the HCT dialer but looks more stock eclair (better imo) and is more customizable.

+1 NubDialer ! Jk, Dialer One is pretty awesome too .

I have the EXACT same problem as the originator of this thread. It's just that I already have the Nexus and I really don't like all HTC eye-candies, as @arkavat is also saying. I just want the dialer which, in my opinion, is better than the Dialer One or NubDial that are available for Nexus.
But if this means installing an OS with all other HTC crap, I'd rather live with Dialer One.

I also used several htc phones, after using nexus, i am now using the dialer one, it's better than the htc dialer.

How is it better?
I can tell you how it may not be:
T9 filtering in HTC dialer works not only on the first word/letters but on any part of the name. Can Dialer one do this?
T9 filtering in HTC dialer works on both contacts and call history in the same box. Doesn't Dialer one use different tabs?
When I scroll down contacts in a T9 search, I see call history and immediately below the other contacts in alphabetical order. Aren't these on different screens in Dialer one?
HTC Dialer is fast, I seem to remember Dialer one being slower
I prefer the layout of HTC dialer, but that may just be me.
If you can find me one dialer that does all of what the HTC dialer can do, please PM me!
The lack thereof is my main reason for flashing Desire HD roms instead of CM / Nexus type of ROMS on my HD2!

And me too, please!!!

What dialer app do you use?

I just flashed to CM7 and I must say I'm a huge fan already. Only thing I miss about the sence rom is the t9 dialer.
Do you use the ASOP dialer or have you downloaded something else?

I hate the stock dialer on the CM7 roms. I use Dialer One to replace it. Close enough to the sense dialer, but you can customize it a little bit more.

Best Dialer

I'm looking for a great dialer. Not crazy about stock dialer. Love the dialer HTC sense uses. I have a nexus 1 with cm7. Would love the feedback. Would love the ability to just type numbers or letters to find quick contacts. Also. Would love sleek look with different themes if possible.

Go to the Market and try TouchPal This thing is one awesome Dialer, I use this and prefer it over the stock dialer which I think is total crap. Give this one a try I dont think you'll be disappointed.

Thanks. I like it. Thanks for feedback. Very nice. Good lookng out

[Q] G2x + Sense 3.0 features ... is that even possible ?

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if some of the sense 3.0 widgets can be developed for G2x?? Atleast the sense 3.0 lock screen. Is it anyway possible or on the cards or should i stop dreaming ??

Its great to dream, but in this case you should stop dreaming. The G2x and sense roms has 2 different framework so it will never work and even if it could it would take tons of modding that wouldn't be worth the trouble. Its similar to trying to put a Ferrari body on a Mercedes chassis.

There's a app called "Go To Lockscreen" and it pretty much gives you the features of the Sense lock screen. Its a good app.

im not sure if you wanted sense for the same reason i did. i wanted sense for the dialer + messaging client. althought we probably wont get the sense dialer, there is an app called GO Dialer, and GO Sms that is similar to the sense applications. Stock android dialer SUCKS! anyways hope this helps

The lock screen, dialer, messaging client and contacts client are the only good things about Sense. The vanilla clients are boring with less features. What's cool about the Sense contacts client is that contact pictures are just there with no loading. The vanilla contact client lags a little bit and there is a delay in showing the pictures.

Sense has some neat stuff but most of it is cosmetic.
Launcher Pro already has some Sense-like widgets built in and are themeable. They look like Sense out of the box. You can also customize Launcher Pro's dock bar to match any version of Sense.
Go Dialer and Go SMS are popular because you can theme them to look like whatever you want. I've also used "Dialer One" which was a "HTC SENSE Dialer" Clone at one time. I think they've went down their own path since but still has the same great functionality.
Moral of the story, you can make you phone look and feel like a Stock-Sense rom without having the stock-sense rom.
And I think they're porting Sense over in the O2x forums (directed at the second poster). MIUI, Sense, and CM7 are the 3 roms that should be ported to every phone. Completely do-able though. Nexus One has all 3.... but maybe I was spoiled.

It was possible on my hd2 windows phone. So I would say yes, it is possible. That phone had a much bigger following so I will not say it is propable.

as things have been said, launcherpro, GoTo LockScreen, things like that can give the customized feeling of not being on stock android...

I think the problem is we are on a LG phone trying to port a HTC client, Samsung Galaxy series never got it to work fully, just my opinion. I am not saying it is not possible, I am one that loves options and would like to see it happen though.

You can find software that looks like Sense such as Go Messenger but there is no contacts client out there with the deep integration/features you get with Sense. The Contacts Client is the only thing I like about HTC and I have yet to see one done better. Just ain't going to happen.

Smh it is being worked on in the o2x forums therefore eventually it will make its way here... just give it time.

ICS phone dialer Xmas wish list for weapon g2x

I want ICS phone dialer. I want t9 dialing plus intergation. I have used a lot of different dialers and some are really good but none are fully intergrated with contacts. I found ICS dialer online and tried to install but couldn't get it to work. The pictures look cool too.

Dialer one works really well

Dialer one works well but I don't like the look. I wished it supported themes.
MIUI dialer is my all around favorite but I haven't seen anyone port it to MIUI. Totally different framework they say.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

Weapon update Christmas wish list?
Everything it already is, along with the return of prepend/append battery text.
And a Lamborghini.

Just in case, I found exDialer exactly the same as original MIUI dialer.
It shoud work on any ROM
