Hi guys,
I've been searching and looking for a solution to my problem for days but I'm unable to find one. I hope that someone will be able to help me on this forum.
I'm running Wolf's Custom 2.3 rom on my xperia x10. I would like to change the stock dialer/contacts app but I'm not getting the option to set as default my 3rd party app. I tried downloading a different 3rd party app but still I'm not getting the option to set them as default.
There is nothing under the stock dialer set as default so I can't really understand why it's taking over and I'm not getting the option to set my 3rd party app as default.
Is there something I can do manually to override the stock dialer and to set contapps or go contacts as default?
Thanks

Hi all Im happy I found this forum and hopefully solve a problem thats been bothering me and the wife
When we install handcent or any other messaging app on our htc hero/samsung moment, we get the messages TWICE and dont know how to turn off the default and just use the installed "handcent" or whatever app we may be using...beautiful widgets have the same effect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated so we might enjoy some of these messaging apps.
you should be able to open your native messaging app, then options then disable notifications.
Really, has anyone figured it out? For example if I install ExDialer and get a missed call notification, I always have to choose the default app to view it. It seems impossible to set ExDialer (or any other 3rd party app) as the default for opening the call history. There is always the extra tap to choose the app.
Anyone, solution? I have read the whole internet and can't find the workaround.
I can't get to really like the new KitKat dialer, want to use ExDialer ...
What happens if you freeze the stock dialer?

Well, there's two things that can be disabled. One is the Phone app. The other is the Google Dialer app. If I disable Phone then there's no difference. If I disable the Dialer app then I can open the missed calls well with exDialer but if there's an incoming call then there's no sign of it except for the led being on (I assume the Google Dialer app is responsible for displaying incoming calls and the answer/decline buttons).
So I must have the Google Dialer app running but that means I can't use ExDialer.

I've spent countless hours trying to figure this out. I've lost my hopes. There is no way to do that. I've even been flashing several different roms to test this out. Can't believe so few people are actually discussing this.
Guys,
I would like to know if it's possible to change the touchwiz default phone application, when clicking on this I would like to launch exdialer search contacts / get dialpad rather than the stock phone application.
Is there any way to do this (rooted or non-rooted)..
Cheers
I would also like to know if this is possible.
Thank you
Maybe with tasker you can set a command?
Tasker looks like an interesting option

It's the only thing that comes to mind but I never could get myself to learn how to use Tasker effectively

Has anyone fixed this issue yet?
I can't stand the stock dialer's UI. JB's dark themed dialer was such an improvement.
I have tried Wanam to try and code it out but not working there either although it did fix the main settings menu.
Desperately need a fix for the disgusting white dialer app as all 3rd party dialers use the stock samsung base code.
I got a new OnePlus One and found out that I can't have the direct dial shortcut to call out automatically. It shows the stock dialer with the number to be dialed instead. This also happens when I use 3rd party dialer like Dialer One, ExDialer etc. All of them, when call is made, will just show the stock dialer with number to be dialed and stay there...
I have searched through the internet and couldn't find the solution for this. Anybody has any idea on how to solve this problem.
I'm using Cyanogen 11S 44R with Go Launcher and Dialer One (i've tried with and without Dialer One and Go Launcher installed still the same problem...)
Thank you very much in advance.
Best thing is u can report the dev....u can change the theme using layers manager if u don't like the stock theme..thats all I can say..

Go to settings---> apps ----> default apps. Choose Google dialer as default app for dialer
