Ive been using GO Dialer exclusively for some time now in place of the stock phone dialer. I love the features it offers of having the call log and dialer in on screen, and being able to quickly swipe to other phonebook pages. The one issue im having though is the 3-4 second time delay in opening GO Dialer compared to near instantaneous with the stock dialer. Is there anyway to speed this up. Would making it a system app and moving it to the system/app folder make a difference?
I've always noticed some delay with go Dev products. Try to use spare parts for fast transitions or keep the app in ram....up to you

I just got the ADW.Launcher and it has been the best home replacement app so far.
You have the nexus one like app drawer and shortcut dock, and you can adjust the speed the pages flick, page bounce back (like the iphone) and set the number of pages you want to have.
Fully supports all widgets, and really fast (no lag at all like open home or a home)
the best thing is i've used my x10 for 5 hours straight and its only gone down to 95% battery left.
give it a try!
Am using it. Love the Sense Preview, although it could be less choppy (but they fixed most of that in the latest version). Also like the dock bar, and applications drawer.
it great, however, before on one of main screen I had option to turn wifi, bluetooth, phone and gps on the fly by tapping on it. Now after I installed ADW, it is gone, does anybody know how to get it back or something alternative?

Yeah, it should be a widget. I believe it is called quick settings.
Easily the best homescreen replacements. Tried a few Home++ for example and this one is a keeper... havent tried GDE yet....maybe in a while but for now ill stick with this
where can i get this?

I'm considering a move to the Nexus S from a Desire HD, but I find plain Android rather dull Are there any decent phonebook apps that add a bit of dazzle?
I know of Phonebook 2.0, but for some reason that wont download at the moment on the Nexus S.
I'm also trying Contapps which is kind of nice.
You could throw dialers into the mix. I'm using Dialer One at the moment, anything better out there?
Are there any other alternatives?
Youlu is a nice application ;-)

That app is amazing! Just downloaded and use as default dialeR. Amazing interface

I agree with Youlu. Its my default, I had to get a new dialer as stock one would FC for me if I set LCD Density to anything lower then 200, But now new rom seems to have fixed stock dialer problems but I'm still sticking to Youlu as its just a better dialer
Early apologies if this is in the wrong section but i couldnt find anything when i tried searching this topic.
Anyway, my old htc phones (windows mobile), the screen would turn on and i would get a preview of a text i just received.
on the inspire, the screen remains off even though the notification noises and vibrations play.
is there any way to make the screen turn on as well ?
it drives me nutts that i cant just glance at my phone!! i have to turn it on then do the unlocking, etc.
any help is much appreciated!
I don't know about the stock HTC SMS app but there's an option for this in GoSMS. I highly recommended it.
Or you can try sms popup.

+1 - Great app!
Handcent has screen wake option. And it by far is better than stock messaging app anyway, a billion options to use.

Can't get into handset, it just looks too ugly - even with the skins.
They need to update handcrnt for higher resolution/larger displays.

What he said!
Handcent, second to none for SMS!
thanks a lot guys!
i will definitely try out the apps you've mentioned.
umm?
im loving go sms pro. very clean interface.
however, i accidentally deleted some text messages.
and i dont see a deleted items folder.
is there any way to recover deleted texts??
another vote for handcent here..
Go SMS Pro seems pretty promising thus far. I hated Handcent because of the overall 'old' feel and sluggish performance. Go SMS was a little laggy but I bumped the performance down to the "middle" level and it seems to work quite well now.

If you didn't use the backup that Go SMS offers I don't think you can get them back. Maybe they're hidden somewhere but I wouldn't know how to go about finding them.
If you don't want to change messaging apps, you might want to look at SMSawake or SMS Screen WakeUp.
I'm using Chomp SMS. Let's you preview text and lot's of other options.
Does anyone know if the Phone.apk/Contacts.apk can be changed to work how older versions of the Dialer worked, where as you dialed, contacts would show on the screen, so you could quickly find the contact. In the newer versions of Froyo/GB, it looks like it only allows you to dial the number but contacts don't show up.
Try using Go Contacts/Go Dialer. When you dial it shows the contacts as you dial like the old version of the dialer used to do
You could also try TouchPal or Dialer One, both will suit your purpose.
I really want this too. Seems insane to remove from the stock dialer.
It would be a great feature to see incorporated into new roms.

That was never the stock dialer.
For instance on galaxy s devices its part of touchwiz

It was stock on my Nexus One... it showed whatever the default contact pic was for both incoming and outgoing calls. On G2x stock dialer I just have the Bugdroid.

The dailer on the note is not very good esp compared to htc's are there any better ones? The way it looks up contacts and allows you to set default phone numbers for people for example seems very clunky.

dialer one is the way to go. Free and the best.
Touch pal dialer is a nice option too.

Contapps and Rocket Dialler also good options.
Go Contacts EX
Go Contacts Ex is the best.

I tried several dialers, so far I like TouchPal the best.
I'm having the same issue, but how do you make these alternative dialers the default, so it shows when you try to call someone?
RocketDial is quite good as well
I use the MIUI dialer, Its called exDialer; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329172

A dialer is just an app. You need to replace your phone shortcut with a shortcut to whichever dialer you just installed.

go launcher ex nice
Was using Go Dialer EX, Touch Pal, Contapps, but have downloaded exDialer and find it the best. It's able to clear missed calls in notification and uses default contacts to adding new contacts or editing contacts. Wothte the dialers I had discrepancies between the 2 contacts databases with regards to linked contacts and edited contacts.

Which dialer allow for video call like Samsung dialer ?
How is the exDialer able to clear missed call notification? Doesn't work for me.
I vote for DW Dialer - i used to use dialer one, but it got a bit slow then i found DW Dialer (the free version does everything, the pay one just costs to much...)
Kicks ass on configurable options and does it all and looks nice on the note.
There's a little ergonomics issue with all these dialers. In the Galaxy Note stock dialer, when you make a search with the number pad, the options are listed just one line above the number pad, with a dropdown box in case there are multiple options. When you click, there's a new window that pops-up, which shows the contacts. These are all reachable with your thumb when you use only one hand.
When I utilize any other dialer, they put the matching names at the top of the screen listing them down. But I can't reach the top with single hand operation.
Would you know any other dialer with "easy reach"?
The s3 stock dialer is blazing fast,i have searched this forum but couldn't find any port to your note, so you guys please request for the Dev to take notice, yes the stock note dialer is crap, by any standards, slow n its not even optimised to your screen size

I prefer exDialer with the black theme, its free on the market so enjoy..........
