Hello,
Since switching to Android from WinMo I was so badly missing a decent dialer, that I made my own. It enables dialing and fast search through contacts by number or name, and enables search in two different alphabets:
Latin (supports all european latin-based languages) and
One of the following: Greek, Hebrew, Arabic or Cyrillic (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Belarusian, Serbian and Macedonian) currently implemented.
For Android 1.5 and above
I'd appreciate to hear your feedback.
Latest version: 3.5.1 (3.1.2 for Android 1.5)
Android Market address: https://market.android.com/details?id=eir.dialer3
If you want to contribute to the translations, you are welcome: http://www.getlocalization.com/eir_fast_dialer/
Full change log, user manual etc. available here: [URL="http://eir3.com]http://eir3.com[/URL]
Looks nice. Does this have any advantages over Dailer One (info here http://www.appbrain.com/app/kz.mek.DialerOne)? They seem pretty similar.

Just curious: how does it compare (i.e. why is it better) than the other dialers on the market?
Very nice. It looks like the Sense dialer. Thanks
Just installed it, crashed when I hit the number 4.

You can search for contacts by name using two different alphabets at the same time. So if you have contacts written in, for example, both Latin and Cyrillic letters, as I do, this comes quite handy, not to say essential. I wasn't able to find another dialer that does this, please let me know if you know of one.

Above is the first advantage over Dialer One. The second, which is for me also crucial, is that it runs on 1.6 devices, while Dialer One requires Android 2.1.
Third would be, that Dialer One doesn't seem to handle properly some Latin letters, for example German umlauts - as far as I tested, it wasn't able to find, for example Andreas Köpke by pressing 56. Maybe it's a language setting, but still, if it cannot search using umlauts unless your language is set to German, that is a disadvantage. Fast Dialer searches using an extended set of Latin characters, covering all Latin-based European languages, regardless of what language settings you have.

I would like to examine this. Could you please tell me at least the device you ran it on, what Android version etc. From your signature I assume HTC Droid Eris, which runs Android 2.1?
Don't like the "trial" in the name of attachement. Why it's there? You didn't explained in OP.
1. FC on i5700 spica
2. trial version, and nothing about it...
Force close after touch first digit.
If it's trial, then it is obvious, that you are making paid app. LOL, make working app first, then try to squeeze money out of it xD.

True.
It's a backwards-compatibility issue. I thought the AVDs did emulate behaviour of an actual device... I'll fix that.
The app does work on 1.6 for anyone willing to try.
Thanks.
Actually I did try it on official 1.6 for my country (my signature is a little bit out of date).
Oh, a new version - 1.1. I'll try it, however now my phone is on CM6, so I can't try it on Donut .

Thanks a lot!
I uploaded two new files: 1.6 and 2.1 for the Donut and Eclair/Froyo.
Until I figure out if (and how) it would be possible to build once for both targets.
Let me know how you find the app. That is my main dialer, and for myself, it does the job.
Is it possible to make it so it works on Android 1.5? Old, I know, but my friend uses a Motorola Cliq XT and is stuck on 1.5 for a while until Moto gets their act together
It's not a bad start with this app. But this isn't really a trial but rather a demo with limited functionality. You can't dial a # containing "7" as the app advises you to purchase full version. Posted version is basically unusable. So why posting it in this forum where people are normaly helping each other or sharing things with no commercial intentions? Wrong place for advertising.
On a different note: check out Dialer One and AContacts. These are wonderful apps with a lot of thought and effort put into them.They are free as well. Fair enough, your app has got a unique function (one) but other than that its functionality can't be even compared to that of AContacts or Dialer One. Whole 3 options in settings menu?

I won't be able to do that. It compiles and installs on an 1.5 AVD, but there are some problems with the view generation which I won't have the time to look into.

Yes, Dialer One and AContacts are much richer apps. Unfortunately, they lack this small functionality, which I need very much.
And I have a 1.6 phone.
In my opinion, having only 3 options in the menu is an advantage. Best would be zero options.
I was hoping to receive feedback, rather than advertise. And I did, for which I'm grateful. I made this app because I needed it, not because I intended to make a fortune out of it. That's why I find it valuable, and perhaps other people will find it too, and would spare a coin on it, as I would have, had there been such an app available several days ago.
BTW, the files are updated.
does it support Arabic
OK, now app do not FC while pressing a digit (CM6). I really like it, basic, light T9 dialer for Android. It's good, that it has only 3 options. I mean - what to set up in app like that? It has do to a specified task and it's doing it right.
However, two issues was bugging me:
1. I don't like the way contacts number is aligned, it simply do not look good when name is aligned to right, and a number is aligned to right. I think both aligned to right would look better.
2. App isn't so... quick. I mean, try SuperDial (also runs on 1.6, but it is an ugly app). It is instantious, you press a key and there is response, the contacts are showing up. In you application you have to wait a bit of second.
I see potential. There is no that good looking T9 dial app on Android 1.6. DialerOne is fantastic, but it won't run on G1, X10, X10 Mini, LG GT540 etc. Please, do not set the price too high ($0.99 is max IMO).

It could, if I find out how the Arabic letters should be put on T9. Perhaps you could give me a hint

I took your advice and changed the alignment of the name.
I also did some optimizations, and the app runs even faster. I didn't figure out how I can measure the startup time of SuperDial, but according to the ActivityManager log, if that is a valid parameter to reference, Fast Dialer is faster than SuperDial. Cold start of SuperDial takes ~500ms, while of Fast Dialer ~430ms. Once in memory, SuperDial takes ~300ms to show up, and Fast Dialer ~180ms.
BTW, good that you mentioned it SuperDial is a nice app, I think it has some very clever decisions, like initially showing the log of calls instead of the contacts, but also some less clever decisions - like no possibility to directly (with one click) call a contact once you found it. The developers say, on their site, that the app is not polished, which is obviously true, since it also has some not-so-minor flaws (like failing to load a newly entered contact), which Fast Dialer handles just fine.
The updated Fast Dialer apk is in the initial message of this thread.

I'm a newbie and i got 3 questions about roms before i install it.
1) whats the best looking rom out there now?
2) is android considered a rom?
3) whats the best rom that saves the most on battery power?
1) Depends on your device :]
Whatever device you may have, go to the main-forum panel and locate [scroll down] until you find your specific phone type. Open the Development section and click on a few to find some images. Some look better than others, some perform different. Its all about personal preference.
2)The Stock [standard] Android System is a ROM. [Note; Stock ROM]. These are un-touched unless otherwise said so. Although that wouldn't be a stock ROM anymore now would it?
3)Again, depends on which phone you have. If you want, post your device name and I'll help you out.
As said from TKTAB911, everything depends on the device. There are different roms for each device, you just have to go to the appropriate subforum and read the threads. Depending on the comments you can find out if people are satisfied with each rom.
Usage problems
Hi everybody,
I am using Android (26.JAN][DFT/CWM] NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G [Android2.2.2][Kernel: tytung_r2_oldcam) on HTC HD2.
I like this build very much.
Altough I have some problem:
- I am from Hungary. The build does not know hungarian language (it is not problem of course). I am using hungarian keyboard, for emailing, and sending sms. When I use extended(?) characters (ie: ő, ű, á) at sending sms, the length of sms reduce from 160 to 70(?). When somebody uses hungarian language android, it can handles this characters. Also my old Nokia phones was an option not using Unicode (or extended) character. Is it here any settings, or application, what can help, that i could use these characters without reducing the sms size?
- With the built in Exchange client I can not move email to Exchange folder. (Altough I can see the content of the exchange folders). Is it any chance to move letters to these folders?
- I have not got built in FM radio. I haven't found it on market neither (only internet radios). Could you advise something?
Thanks for helping me,
ga
Try one of the Handcent SMS, ChompSMS, GO SMS apps.
You can contact the developers to fix the issue. The handcent sms dev does respond to your mails.
Hi duk3r,
I tryed Handcent SMS. It perfect for sms extended chars problem. Furthermore the application is very good and beautiful, thanks.
Any ideas for the other two problem? (Moving email, FM radio)?
Thanks,
ga

Hi, I would like to ask if anyone knows if it is possible to update the transformer firmware manually with the files of a different region?
The reason I am asking is that I got my Transformer in Japan, and the update to honeycomb 3.1 is not released here yet. (its still 3.0)
Can I use the US, or WW firmware file to update without any problems?
I'm a little worried about losing functionality with the dock keyboard, since the layout for the Japanese model is a little different (different key-mapping).
Has anyone tried to do this?
Thanks!
yeah I really need to know this too. I love this tablet but the browser crashes alot and the keyboard is laggy plus the video is horrible and staggered both on youtube and from the memory so I'm hoping the update will fix this but for some reason Japan hasn't gotten the update which is driving me crazy
Cheers for a response in advance
So... has anyone tried this?
I want 3.1, but I don't want to brick my transformer (><)
You can try PRIME 1.5 version, It's more optimized than the stocks firmware. But other firmware should works fine.
thanks makec3rt
I don't know anything about custom roms. I read the post that you linked to. But, I don't 100% understand what the point of this rom is..? Why use it instead of the stock?
Also, am I likely to have issues with the keyboard layout if I install this? And what happens to the pre-installed apps (like polaris office etc)?
You can read the change logs at there. With PRIME 1.5, you will have root access, which allow you access/modify/remove stocks apps you don't wan't, and system files etc..and not limited as the stocks firmware.
Keyboard layout should works fine, you can always change keyboard layout in the settings.
All pre-installed apps are still there.
Hi guys! I've got the same problem: my EEE Pad is from Deutschland (Build number: HRI66.DE_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511) and THE ONLY language is Deutcsh (no other languages are available in the menu). MoreLocale doesn't really help.
Cause I don't know Deutsch at all I wonder if it's possible to change firmware for US/WW/CN or anything else that would have several languages to choose from.
And what I have to do for that.
Installing a foreign SKU will void your warranty, that's for sure.
First of all, let me say that not only am I new to android, I am also new to smartphones in general. So when - in your amusing video, which I quite enjoyed watching - you say 'noob'...I mean NOOB!
I have Googled this problem extensively and have posted this question on 5 other android support forums over the last month or so, and although it seems (from my research) many people have this or a similar issue, no-one has come up with a solution. A forum memer from one of those websites has now suggested I post this here. I have, before posting, searched this site also for a solution, but it appears that although some have a similar problem, there has not yet been a solution found, or the advice given hasn't worked in my case.
So here's hoping somebody here can help with this irritating and inconvenient issue:
Device: Samsung Galaxy Ace
Carrier: Virgin Mobile
Country / Language: UK/English
OS / Browser / build number: Android Gingerbread 2.3.3
I am having the problem where I have set custom ringtones for some of my contacts, but they are not always being played as they are assigned.
I have all of my ringtones in an folder on my sd card (/sdcard/ringtones, having moved them from /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones to see if this solved the issue. It didn't)). I have a custom ringtone (mp3) set as the default ringtone and a couple of other custom ringtones set for a few of my contacts. However, when I receive a call the phone does not play the correct custom ringtone for that caller but instead plays the custom ringtone assigned to the previous person that called. If the caller is also the previous person to have called me, then it will play the correct ringtone, as they are the previous caller. (If that makes sense??)
To reproduce: Basically I install some mp3s onto my SD card. I go into my contacts, choose a contact, then click 'edit'. I then set the desired ringtone as the custom ringtone for that contact and click 'save'. When that contact rings, instead of the assigned ringtone, my phone plays the ringtone of the person who called me before that. When the next person rings, it plays the ringtone it should have played for the last contact. And so on. When I check the details for that contact, it confirms the ringtone I had chosen is still selected for that contact, it just doesn't play that one, but the one of the previous caller.
In addition to posting on Android help forums, I have also reported this bug to Samsung, although I'm not convinced it is a Samsung problem as clearly (according to my research) it is happening across the board with several other makes of Android phones. However, the reply I received from Samsung was:
"Thank you for contacting Samsung. As of yet, Google has not developed a fix for this fault so we may have to have the phone taken in by one of our engineers without any real guarantee it will be resolved. We could set this up for you but you may have to wait 28 days for the phone to be returned to you."
I am sorry, but I think it is unreasonable to be expected to give my phone up for a month, with no guarantee the issue will be sorted, just to be able to use a facility Samsung state is already available on the phone when it is clearly not.
I am inclined to believe this is an Android problem, and therefore would really appreciate any advice/a fix/solution anyone on here may be able to offer.
Thank you.
This problem - or lack of a solution - is really annoying me now as no-one seems to have a fix for it. I have over the last month posted on 6 forums: Android Central, Android Forums, Android Community, Google Android Support, OHA Project Issues and XDA developers. In total the post has had over 2500 views but NO solution!
I have also submitted the issue to Samsung - they don't know how to fix it either!
Have I got the only unfixable problem ever to affect an android phone??!!
I just don't understand why the developers of both the phone and the operating system can't solve a problem in their own product!
PLEASE, can anyone help?
"Have I got the only unfixable problem ever to affect an android phone??!!"
Looks like it
Thanks for all the interest. Not.
Well. I was advised to post this question on here by a couple of other Android forums, as they said you guys love trying to find solutions to this kind of thing.
But not even any interest or replies or even acknowledgement, least of all any suggestions.
Guess those Android forums just got it wrong.....
It might be true that Samsung can't do much to fix this, it's clearly a software problem and maybe it has not been fixed by Google (or maybe it has been fixed and you don't have the OS version that has the fix, i.e. Gingerbread 2.3.6/2.3.7)
I'm sorry to see that nobody replied to this yet, but the reason might be simply because nobody really knows how to fix (if possible) this problem. Again, this is a software problem and Samsung doesn't have much to do here, so you could try and flash a newer OFFICIAL rom for your Ace, as custom roms might have some other bugs. (You could try with CyanogenMod maybe?)
I hope you can find a way to make it work good luck.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Ace
Carrier: Orange Romania
OS: Android Gingerbread 2.3.3
I too have had a similar problem: when a normal contact calls it uses default ringtone... when a custom ringtone contact calls after that, the same default ringtone is used... if the custom contact calls again the custom ringtone is used.
Possible solution:
Put all ringtones in SDcard/Media/Audio/Ringtones
Go to Contact -> Edit -> Ringtone -> select Sound -> browse SDcard/Media/Audio/Ringtones and select your custom .mp3 file -> Save Contact
Test to see if it works and then reboot and see if it still works.
Please reply or press Thanks button to let me know how it turned out

Thanks, but I had already tried this in the beginning, but no luck
I'm sorry to hear that... That exact method helped me. It may still have a glitch every week or so but it doesn't happen very often.
unbelievable, looks like there is truly no solution.. screw everything that Android has to offer if something as trivial as this can't be fixed.
Hey XDA!
I rooted my Infuse months ago and flashed a custom ROM I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412957) with little trouble. ZEUS has worked great ever since and rarely fails for my purposes. I have a Limited Data plan (200 MB/Month) with AT&T and no warranty to worry about voiding
Anyway, I have some specific questions that seem to be affected by the conditions I've described. I apologize in advance, I'm by no means an expert and would appreciate any guidance offered
1) Being that I'm rooted and running a custom ROM, the usual methods of changing certain preferences are complicated. Specifically, how do I enter the "saved words" or "dictionary" that autocorrect uses for inputted text? I'd like to add/edit/delete words. Is there a method? With the stock ROM, it was pretty simple, but now I don't see any similar options when I'm in the settings menu.
2) I think Swype isn't supported by the new ROM because I no longer had the option of selecting it once I rooted and I do find I miss it lol. Any way to restore it without downloading an app?
3) Recently, I tried paying for an app* in the Market (or Play Store or whatever you wanna call it, but it'll always be the Market to me lol) and found that the only way to do that was through using Google Wallet. I found that Google Wallet wasn't listed in the Play Store when I searched the exact words "Google Wallet" and somewhere in this effort, concluded that ZEUS was too outdated to support the app. I think a prompt from the Play Store confirmed this, but I'm still not sure. Isn't ZEUS just a variation of Gingerbread, anyway? So, since I'm rooted with a custom ROM, am I ineligible from purchasing in the Market?
4*) APPS: Do you guys even "buy" apps? I'm vaguely familiar with the idea of "cracked apps" but have no idea how to safely procure any.
5) Generally, should I just flash to a newer ROM? ZEUS has worked pretty well, but the above issues (the most pressing being 1 and 4) have made me rethink ZEUS. That was months ago, is it now outdated? Any good ICS ROMS (unported, because I don't like dealing with the bugs that inevitably follow ported ROMS) available?
Any help would be a appreciated, I'm sorry this was such a long post and I did scour the forums as best I could before posting this thread.
Thanks a lot!

1) Don't know about that. It's never been an issue for me. In general you'll find the settings for that type of stuff by opening the settings in the keyboard. But in general I think most people add words one at a time as it is necessary... I don't know if you can access the whole dictionary in an easy way, and even if you could... why?
2) Swype is an app. You don't have it, you can't use it. I would just reinstall.
3) ??? No. You shouldn't have any issues like this. Never happened to me; can't think of a reason why. Maybe problem with data connection? Maybe you should install a different ROM and start from scratch.
4) You'll get in trouble for even mentioning that, probably. Buy your apps, support the devs, period.
5) Yes, IMHO. ZEUS has been surpassed (again, IMHO.) I would run AEON or Vagabond for GB... both stable, great pieces of work. ICS still has room to grow and progress to be made, I think. There are some great choices there, and exciting features too. ParanoidAndroid, RemICS, jblparisi's... great stuff, (also none of it would be possible without jt1134 and Entropy) but I always end up going back to GB for the time being because of speed and stability.
Flash a new ROM, I would suggest. If your problems persist... search xda or ask.
But to me it sounds like your ROM just isn't working for you and you need something a little different...

Thank you SO MUCH for that comprehensive and helpfully speedy reply! Definitely will flash one of the newer ROMs you mentioned after I do some reading up. That, I think, will resolve most of these issues
In regards to why you would access the inputted text dictionary: to add/edit/delete words that appear as suggestions for autocorrect. I have several recurring words that are either in caps lock or misspelled ("you" becomes "yoy" way too often because I accidentally saved it one day). With the stock ROM and most others, accessing the setting is pretty straightforward. Settings/Language and Input/Dictionary or something like that.
In any case, I'll just flash something else, it's time for a change. Thanks again!
